C10: Chapter Ten
TA: Taking Action
"Gabriella, I'm sorry for going off on you like that. I didn't really think you were trying to make our relationship bad, I just didn't want to believe it. And the whole 'Miss Abortion' thing was horrible, I don't even know why I said that," Taylor said to Gabriella at lunch.
"I guess I forgive you. So how's you and Chad?" Gabriella asked.
"I forgave him. He tried to hug me, but I walked away. He's been keeping his distance, kind of. I just wish something happens that brings us together again. I don't want it to still be like this when our little boy gets here," Taylor said.
"Don't worry, it'll all be good. Something is bound to happen to bring y'all together," Gabriella said.

"I was like, are you freakin' serious? That bilingual toad painted my fingernails two different shades of green! 'I can speak American and British!' I'm so gonna sue him," Sharpay ranted on to Gabriella and Taylor.
"What happened? Why's Troy at the office? And he has his book bag. Hold up, Sharpay," Gabriella said as she went to investigate.
"Troy, what's going on?" Gabriella asked.
"I really wanted to tell you earlier, Gabi, I really did, but I didn't want to be without you for a whole school day," Troy started off.
"What are you talking about?" Gabriella asked confused.
"My dad didn't want me to hang out with you because you're pregnant. He was afraid it'll ruin my basketball career and he told me to choose basketball or my baby and I chose the baby, so now he's moving me to West High," Troy said without taking a breath.
"No, he can't. You helped me so much through this time! Who knows what else might happen between now and then? Troy, I need you, you can't go," Gabriella pleaded.
"Gabi, I tried everything, he won't change his mind," Troy said.
Gabriella's face started getting mad. She stormed over to Troy's dad and tapped him on his shoulder.
"Look, I didn't even know Troy wasn't supposed to see me, I was oblivious to the whole thing, so—"
"Look, Little Miss Let's-Ruin-Everyone's-Career, I don't want to hear it. I'm too busy—"
"Whose career did I ruin?" Gabriella asked.
"My son, your boyfriend and baby's father, Troy Bolton. He had a promising basketball career in front of him, and you had to get pregnant with a little runt," he said.
Sharpay, hearing Mr. Bolton's yelling, grabbed Taylor's arm and pulled her over to Mr. Bolton, so, if need be, Taylor could help out Sharpay.
"That baby is not a runt. You need to get your head on straight before I do it for you," Sharpay warned him.
"Oh, what're you going to do?" Mr. Bolton asked, looking the three of them up and down.
Out of nowhere, all he could see was hands and fists. He felt everything on him get hit and slapped and scratched and pinched.
"Hmm, I know I should stop this, but this is strangely interesting. I think I need to wait a couple of minutes before I do something about this," Troy said.
That, however, did not work, because after Troy finished his sentence, his dad had slapped Gabriella, causing her to fall to the floor.
"FIGHT! FIGHT!" People were yelling.
Chad and Zeke were at the front trying to see who was going to get beat up until they realized the possibilities were that Taylor, Sharpay, and Gabriella might be the ones with bruises.
They ran up to the scene and pulled the girls away. Luckily, the girls didn't have any bruises. The coach, however, was about to have few.
The boys didn't care about the consequences that were bound to face them when this was over.
All three boys ganged up on the coach, who was trying his best to stop the attack. It went on for about a few minutes before the principle came to the violence act.
The principal came with a couple of police officers, who immediately tried to pull Troy, Chad, and Zeke off of the poor coach.
"You three will come to my office and get suspended, or expelled, pronto!" he yelled in anger.
"Wait!" Gabriella yelled.
The principal turned around. "What?" he asked.
"Mr. Matsui, if they get suspended, suspend me, too. If they get expelled, expel me, too. Those three did what they did because the coach slapped me."
A chorus of gasps echoed through the crowd.
"Why would I believe such nonsense from a girl who only wants her boyfriend to stay at the same school?" Mr. Matsui replied.
"Don't put her information out there like the whole student body isn't here listening and watching to what's happening!" Taylor said.
"So you're gonna ignore the fact that he slapped me? I have two witnesses!" Gabriella said.
"Coach Bolton is the best coach we have and I'm not about to let him go because of a whiny brat," Mr. Matsui said.
Gabriella growled and was about to go after him until Taylor and Sharpay held her back, but that didn't stop her from trying to get away.
"Go to my office. All of you, including the 'abusive coach'," Mr. Matsui said.
As Gabriella walked past, she said, "You will be hearing from my mother."

"Gabriella, you're expelled from the remainder of the year?" her mom asked once she got there.
"It's only two months," Gabriella replied quietly.
"What's gotten into you?" her mom asked.
Gabriella's eyes started watering and her breathing was loud as she explained.
"Troy told me he was going to West High because his dad told him to stay away from me because I ruined his basketball career. I went over to explain to him he shouldn't transfer Troy because I had no idea he wasn't supposed to see me. He called my baby a runt and Sharpay and Taylor heard him and went over to talk to him, too. He got smart with us and we all got mad and started slapping and scratching and punching and hitting him. He slapped me so Troy got on him. Chad and Zeke came up and got on him, too. The principal came up and wasn't going to do anything about him slapping me, so here I am," Gabriella finished.
"That son of a—"
"Mom, use your words," Gabriella said. Once her mother started with that line, something bad was going to happen.
"I was gonna say 'building block' like Mr. Potato Head said on Toy Story," Gabi's mom explained to her as if Gabi's mom was Gabriella's daughter. "Are you ok, though? Did he hit you in the stomach or anything?"
"No. He just slapped me," Gabriella said.
Troy came out of the principal's office walking over to Gabriella to check up on her.
"Troy, after what happened today, I don't trust you around your father," Ms. Montez said.
"No, no, no, it's alright. He'll get over the day's events," Troy said.
"No, Troy, I feel something bad is going to happen if you go back home. If it's okay with you, I'd like you to stay with us for a while until the situation has blown cold," Gabi's mom said.
"Are you sure about this?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah," Troy agreed. "And Chad's living with me. His dad wasn't happy about Taylor being pregnant. I'm sure you don't want Chad and I at your house."
"No, Troy, it's fine. I talked it over with your mom. She has a feeling, too, that something's going to happen if you stay at that house."
"I have to think about it," Troy said.
"Alright. I'll leave you and Gabi here. You might need to talk," Ms. Montez said, exiting the room.
"Troy, I didn't mean for all this to happen, you and your dad falling out, Chad, Zeke, and you ganging up on him. If I would've known this was going to happen, I wouldn't have let what happened seven months ago go like it did," Gabriella said that.
"Don't say that, Gabi. If it didn't happen, I wouldn't be excited that I'm about to have a little girl to hold and love and watch after and spoil. You haven't even seen half the things I've already bought for her," Troy said.
Gabriella gently laughed. "Thanks for that."
They sat in silence for a couple of minutes, just watching people pass by.
"So… do you think you'll stay with us for a while?"
"Where am I going to sleep, though? And Chad?" Troy asked.
"There's enough room for you and him to have your own rooms. Of course, when the baby comes, you'll have to bring your bed in my room. I don't know if you'll be comfortable with that," Gabriella said.
"I could get used to it. I mean, we still do have two months, don't we?" Troy asked.
"No. We have one month. I turned eight months today," Gabriella said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Troy asked.
"I'm not gonna run up to you and jump up and down screaming 'I'm eight months! I'm eight months!' I'm not a little kid, Troy," Gabriella said.
"I'll have to check with Chad, though. See if he's okay with it. You know, moving again," Troy said.
"Okay," Gabriella said as she smiled.
