AT GABRIELLA'S HOUSE
Troy and Gabriella are watching TV on her bed.
"So gabs do you think you will want to go to the dance?"troy asks
"I don't know."snuggles closer into him "I think it will be annoying with all those people. Can't we just have a nice evening together."Gabriella said looking up into her eyes and smiling
Kissing her forehead "If you want,it's fine with me."looks at the clock
"Sorry baby,but I have to go,i have basketball practice and if i'm late my dad will kill me."troy said getting off the bed
"Don;t leave me,I'll be all alone. Can I come with you?"Gabriella asks with a happy face on.
"Ok,come on I have to leave now."troy said giving in
TWENTY MINUTES LATER
Gabriella and troy are walking into the gym to see the team in the middle of practice.
"Good pass Chad." Jack Bolton called out while watching his basketball team doing some drills. He talked around the silver whistle in his mouth. He was waiting to use it when someone messed up.
"Thanks Coach Bolton." Chad added and wiped his forehead free of sweat.
"Nice shot Jason." Jack clapped loudly.
"Thanks Coach." He smiled softly. Jack blew the whistle and everyone slowed to a stop. Jack walked over to Zeke and took the basketball out his hands.
"Zeke, you need to bend your knees more." Jack instructed and tossed the basketball at the net. It went in without hitting the rim. "That way you have more accuracy." He added. It was then he noticed everyone was looking past him. Jack then heard the light stepping of footsteps.
"Guys, can you all tell me what the number one rule is for practice?" Jack asked while crossing his arms over his chest. He turned and glared at Gabriella and Troy.
"Always arrive on time." The boys immediately answered.
"And?" he added.
"Don't bring any distractions." The boys recited. Jack noticed Gabriella looking at him with disgust and hatred. He just turned towards his son and ignored her.
"Dad-"Troy started. Jack blew his whistle and silenced him.
"Now what do you think Mr. Bolton's punishment should be?" Jack turned back towards the group of boys. They remained silent and either looked at the floor or the ceiling. "Don't be shy. Speak your mind." He egged them on.
"Suicides?" Chad muttered and sent Troy an apologetic look.
"6 inches?" Zeke shrugged.
"I say both." Jack confirmed.
"Dad, that's not fair." Troy snapped.
"I'm not dad here. I'm coach Bolton." He snapped. "Now go." He ordered. Troy sighed and started to run. All of the other boys on the basket ball team went to sit in the stands as they watched their team captain deal with his punishment.
Gabriella sat on the bleachers and watched her boyfriend start to breath harder and harder with every move.
Turned to the team sitting next to her "I can not believe you guys."Gabriella said
"What?"chad asks
Gabriella shook her head continuing to look at her poor boyfriend breathing faster and faster as jack yelled and blow the whistle right in his face.
END OF PRACTICE
The rest of the team had gone into the locker room to change just as troy was finishing up his punishment.
"Ok troy,go change."jack said while walking to the gym doors.
Sitting on the bleachers breathing hard. "Gabriella,i don't feel so good."troy said leaning his head on Gabriella's shoulder
"It's ok baby,come on lets go."Gabriella said pulling his arm
Pulling away and grabbing his head "No,really I don't feel so good,can you go get chad."troy asks
"Yeah,i will be right back."gariella said
Gabriella runs into the locker room and pulls chad back into the gym.
Runs over to troy "Dude,you ok?"chad asks patting troy on the back
"No,dude I think i'am going to be sick."
"Ok,stay here and drink some water,let me go get coach."chad said running back into the locker room
Five minutes later chad comes running out of the locker room with jack behind him.
"Troy you ok?"jack asks
Worried "Do you think he's ok,you guys forced him into do the two worsts exercises."gabriella says
"Do talk back to me,if it wasen't for you he would have been her on time and would have not had to do them."jack yells back at her
Holding his stomach "Dad don't yell at her,it's not her fault."
"Troy,come on lets just get you home and you can rest."jack said pulling troy up and giving gabriella a evil look
BACK AT HOME
Gabriella and troy are up in troy's room.
"I'm sorry about practise."gabriella said while rubbing troy's shoulders
"It's ok,i feel a little better than before."looking up at her "I'm feel bad for you though."
"Why?"
"Because all my dad did was yell at you."
"Well thats because he hates me."gabriella said while playing with his hair
"He doesn't hate you,he just hates when i'm late to practice."
"I hope your right."gabriella said leaning over and kissing troy on the lips
"KIDS DINNER."luciella yelled from down staires
"COMING."troy and Gabriella said
Gabriella and troy walk down staries to see his mom and dad eating dinner. Jack looks up from eatting and stares right at gabriella and troy until they sit down.
"So troy how was practice?"Lucille asks
Looking at jack and gabriella "Fine."troy said stuffing food into his face
"Well if your not going to tell me then I will ask Gabriella."
Looks at jack "Ok."
"Ok,troy what happened?"Lucille asks rubbing her hand across and gash on troy's arm
"Mom,stop that hurts."troy said pushing her hand away
END OF DINNER
Troy and gabriella are in his room.
"I thought dinner would never end."Gabriella said falling on Troy's bed
"I know."troy said falling on the other side of it
WITH JACK AND LUCILLE
"Jack what rally happened at practice?"Lucille asks
"Well,troy got there late because of Gabriella so I made him do Suicides and six inches as a punishment."
"Jack how could you do something like that to him,you know as a child he has a hard time breathing. He could have died."
"I know but how is he suppose to learn if I don't push him."
Walks over to Troy's room and bursts into it.
"Mom,dad whats wrong?"troy asks
"Troy did your father push you today at practice?"Lucille asks
Looks at his dad then looks down "yes."
"See I told you."Lucille said mad
"Wait why does it matter so much?"Gabriella asks
"Because Gabriella when troy was little we pushed him to hard on doing something and he started breathing to hard and fainted. He could have died if he didn't stop today. Troy if your father does that to you please tell me."Lucille said walking out of the room and back into her bedroom
Jack looks at the both of them and storms out of the room slamming the door.
"So wait,what happens if that happens while you know,while where doing it."Gabriella asks looking into his eyes
"I don't know but lets not worry about that,lets worry about it when it comes."troy said nervously
Snuggling into him "Ok,I love you."Gabriella said kissing troy on the tip of his nose
Smiling "I love you too."kissing her back
