Please bare with me right now. My life is just getting so busy that when I'm actually not doing anything I just want to relax, although I constantly tell myself that I should be writing. So I apologize, but I promise I'll make up for it. Also I haven't gotten any reviews in a while, I know I haven't been updating a lot but I still would love to get more! So please review, it means a lot and I always take time to read each of them & I try to send a message thanking you!
He stood at his locker, looking at the text message for the tenth time since it was sent to him. What could she possibly need to tell him? For once in his life the wildcat captain was afraid to find out. Would she fight with him? Did she want him back? Or did she want to be friends? Troy hated to admit, he did miss her. As much as he hated for cheating, hating that she never put effort into their relationship, he still cared. But it wasn't the "in love" care, no.. it was more of a, "We used to get along and be friends" kind of care. Sharpay was his first serious relationship, sure he had "dated" a few other girls. Nothing serious though.
As Troy continued to debate on whether he should actually go or not, he felt a light tap on his shoulder which snapped him back into reality. Troy turned around and looked down at the small chocolate eyes that starring right at him. "I waited for ten minutes, but you didn't come. So I decided to look for you." she explained. Troy immediately felt the guilt rush through his veins. He slammed his hand to his head as he closed his locker. As he put down his hand he tried to explain, "Look Gabs, I'm sorry. I know I said that I would meet you and-" "Troy , I'm not mad, relax. No big deal." says Gabriella. "Yeah, I know. But that's not I have to apologize for.." Troy said, he was gonna have to tell her sometime. Gabriella looked at him in complete confusion. "What are you talking about? You didn't do anything Troy so why would you need to-"
"Uhh, yeah about the homework thing. I don't really need to do homework, well I could to get a head or whatever but I don't need to. I just wanted you to come over." Troy says still trying to explain the real problem. Gabriella let out a small light laugh, "Troy, I kinda got the hint. That's what you say almost every time and then we hardly ever do homework." Troy smiled lightly, "But that's the thing. I can't hang out today." Troy told her. "Oh, why?" Gabriella asked politely.
"It's just.. I, I'll tell you once I know okay?" The petite girl looked at him with complete uncertainty. He hated when she looked like that, like she couldn't trust him. "I promise Gabs. I'll come over and explain right away." he promised. "Okay.." she agreed.
"I'll try to hurry, but I don't really know how long.." He trailed off trying to get going quickly. "Oh do you still need a ride home?" Troy asked as they walked to the parking lot. "No, Zeke is over there. I'll ask him for a ride. Then you can hurry and.. Go do your thing I guess." Gabriella says as she walks to the other side of the parking lot. Troy felt about having to just leave her hanging like that, but this was important. He felt like a bad friend, leaving her for someone who had put him through so much shit that he couldn't be in the same room as her for a month without getting upset. And yet he went. Not because he was curious, which of course he was dieing to know what she needed to tell him so badly. But he felt like her HAD to. Like it wasn't his choice, he didn't have any free will when it came to it.
The normally lovely brown eyes were not the ones looking back at her in the mirror. These eyes were darker, but yet in a weak way. Pink was seen lightly across both eyes, from the tears she had shed that day. The blonde didn't want to do it, but he had the right to know. She had already hurt him so much that she couldn't bear hurting him again. So she told him to come over. If she could tell Troy then telling Braedon would be a piece of cake. Sharpay walked over to her large bay window, waiting for the black sports car to pull into the driveway. She was sick to her stomach, and it was not the sickness for the first time today.
She was slowly starting to doze off as her head slowly laid her head on her knees. It felt good, sleep was not something that she had been getting enough off. Between the sickens, nervousness and panicking, she hadn't really had much sleep. Everything was slowly starting to blur out, she was on the end of passing out. The sudden knock on the door had the blonde's head snap up and her eyes wide open. "Come in." she says softly. In walked who she had been waiting for. Troy walked slowly and kept his distance as he sat on the chair about six feet away from her.
"Umm, so you needed to tell me something?" says Troy nervously. Sharpay could easily see that he was uncomfortable. She kept her arm wrapped around her legs and her chin on her knees. "Yeah.." Sharpay replied, she felt completely guilty. Troy tried to look at her but couldn't help but shift his eyes across the room. "So.. Are you going to tell me?" he asked. Sharpay look at him and this time the guilt was spread all across her face. "Look, don't be mad or anything. And I.. I, it's not like I planned this and.. Well you just have to understand.." she tried to explain but Troy sat there in total confusion. "Uhh, what?" he says interrupting her rant. "I'm sorry Troy.." Sharpay says as tells Troy something that he would never forget.
The black haired girl with the deep brown eyes looking back at him was the best feeling to Chad Danforth. He, dare he say it, really loved the girl that was laying in his arms. She's smart, which was good because he wasn't always using his brain. His whole life just seems to fall into a perfect place, but by summer it would all be changed..
He couldn't help but continently think of how and when he should possibly tell his friends. Troy and Taylor had the right to know first, but they would best the most difficult to say good-bye to. If only things could just stay the same. Why did there have to be a sudden turn right when he was getting used to driving straight?
"Chad, stop day dreaming. You really need to study for math if you want any hope of passing." says Taylor as she nudges him with her elbow. Every moment with her made in so much harder..
"Sorry.." says Chad unusually quiet and unemotionally. It's like he was there but was not actually present. The consent reminder that this was not going to last forever, that all of it would end so much sooner than he ever wanted or hoped. And it wasn't even in his control. Why, why did he have to move?
The blue eyed boy rang the door bell to the peaceful house as he waited for an answer. A petite brunette answered the door. "Hi Mrs. Montez, is Gabriella home?" he asked as the woman nodded. "Come on in, she's just in her room, I'll call her down." the small woman said. "Gabriella, you have a guest." Maria Montez told her daughter as she came rushing to the staircase but slowed down a little when she saw who it was.
"Disappointed?" he asked. She rolled her chocolate eyes as she walked down the stairs, "No, just kinda expecting someone else." she explained. "But I guess your good enough." she joked. "Owe Gabs, that one hut." Ryan said as the walked into the living room. "Do I have to make up for it now?" she says sarcastically. "Hmm, yeah ya do. Since it was your idea and everything." he says. "Fine, but only because I have to." Gabriella smiled. "You know if anything is bugging you or you feel like you have to keep something a secret you can tell me right?" Ryan said suddenly seriously. Gabriella looked at him in complete confusion and shock. Where did this suddenly come from?
The other side of Gabriella that she would not let be seen was freaking out. What does he know? How can he see right through everything? He knows what I've been doing. I don't understand how he could know. "Uhh, yeah I know Ryan. I trust you like you trust me, I don't have any secrets.." Gabriella says trying her best to not let him read her like an open book. "Sorry if that was weird or something, it's just it looks like you have a lot on your mind." he explained. "Well you did tell me something very important. Ryan, if I tell you something you swear you won't say a word to anyone?" she asked. Normally she would not be so open to share something she never let people know, although to some it was quiet obvious.
"Yes, I promise Gabs. You have done the same thing for me and I owe you big time." Ryan says. "Ryan, you don't owe me anything. And it's just something I don't talk about, I guess it's kinda like your's but different." Gabriella tried to explain. "Just tell me, I promise to not tell a soul." Ryan promised. The chocolate eyed girl took a deep breath before she let out her confession, "I like Troy." she said as she closed her eyes to hide his reaction. But there was just silence. Gabriella slowly open her eyes and looked at Ryan. "Is that it?" he asked. Gabriella became frustrated, "You don't seem very surprised." Ryan shrugged his shoulders, "To be honest I'm really not. I'm pretty sure that everyone know that you care a lot about Troy except for Troy. Which is good or bad depending on what you want."
Gabriella was going to have to be more careful around Ryan. He was very observant and could easily see through her. If she wasn't more careful he would tell everyone what she was doing. And she would not let him stop her, not until she was happy with what she saw. As much as Ryan was a great friend and someone Gabriella could trust, he was not the kind to stand by and watch people get hurt. He would tell everyone the first chance he got. And Gabriella would not let that happen.
