Here's the next one. I really enjoy writing these stories. I hope you guys enjoy reading them! I can't believe I'm chapter 9. Also this is the second to last end of it. Well, no, the first series. I will have a second series. Don't worry. LOL! Oh and sorry this is out so late. Here's chapter 9...

Chapter 9

Chad immediately left trying to make sure Troy didn't follow. He left to go to the park.

"Gabreilla! Ya here?" he yelled.

"YEAH! OVER HERE!"

"Sorry, so what did Machelle do to you?"

"Oh, about that...are you sure you want to know?" she said not really wanting to tell him.

"YES! Gabriella, if she hurt you I swear I will kill her! Your my friend, and made me realize that just because my friends act tht way it doesn't mean I have to act like them! Please Gabi!" said Chad.

"Ok, last night Machelle called me-"

"I know that, she told us!"

"Us? You mean Troy knows she called me?"

"Yes, don't change the subject. But she said that she called for an assignment"

"Sorry, and no it's not what happened. She called me to tell me to stay away from Troy. I can't talk to him, look at him, or even look at him! It doesn't matter, he treats me as if I'm nothing anway..."

"Gosh! I'm gonna kill her! And you don't listen to her. And yes Troy does care for you. If he knew what she said, they wouldn't even be together. So don't listen to her..."

"But, if she catches me, she probably spread more rumors about me..." she said sadly.

"So if she does, I'll tell Troy-"

"NO! Whatever you don't tell him! Please!" she said with tears in her eyes.

"I won't, I promise. I'm so sorry she did that to you!" he hugged her.

"It's cool! Well, I gotta go! Bye!" she left in tears.

"Yeah! See ya! I'll catch up with you later!" he went back to his house.

"Dude, what the heck was that all about?"

"What was what all about?" he said innocently.

"The calling 'your mom' when it was Gabriella? Why did you call her?"

"Um, I was calling her because um, I needed to talk to her about what we talked about at the park the other day..."

"OK? Now let's finish that game!"

"Your goin' down Bolton!"

"No way!" they kept playing and it went into over time, and surpringly Troy won...

The Next Day

At School

Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled. Gabriella walked away sadly not smiling back obeying Machelle.

"Gabriella?" he said confused. Gabriella heard him, but didn't look back at him or respond. Troy saw Chad and Machelle talking. He heard his name and started to eavesdrop...

Ok this is the shortest I wrote. I'm sorry. I owe you guys like 4 chapters, so I'll put the next chapter up immediately. So, don't worry. This is also the second to last chapter for this series. I'll have the 2 chapter for series two up! Sorry about the long wait!
