Fantastic 4 No More?

Chapter 10

Sorry for such a long wait... AGAIN. AGAIN. AGAIN. Jeez, just forget it, ugh. You're probably used to such a long way all the time. Bah! Humbug. :)

"Whoa, hold on for a sec," Troy said as he defended himself, "That's not my girlfriend, if anything you are my girlfriend."

Gabriella looked at Chad for an answer but he looked at Taylor. Taylor shrugged and looked back at Troy.

"W-Well, I-I," Troy looked at Gabriella. He remembered that she didn't know the plan they had, "I meant that we had this plan and in that plan you and I wer-"

Chad coughed uncontrollably and Taylor rubbed his back. She gave Troy a look telling him not to mention the plan.

"I guess it's just because we were so close that it would make more-" Troy sighed, "Guys why can't I tell her? It might help her remember me."

"Tell me what?" Gabriella

Taylor looked at Chad for an answer but he didn't know. Both of them didn't exactly know why they didn't want her to know but they just didn't. "Tell me what?" Gabriella repeated but was interrupted by the bell. They all hustled to their homeroom with Mrs. Darbus.

Troy led Gabriella to her seat, "Do you remember this classroom and stuff like that?"

She nodded, "I remember everything."

Troy looked down sadly, "But me, right?"

"I'm sorry," She said softly. "I really do wanna remember you though or at least things that have to do with you."

Troy nodded and sat down with a slight disappointment.

School ended and they all went to get ice cream at the shop near their houses. "I'm not that hungry," Troy said as they all got theirs.

Gabriella looked at him with shock, "Liar!"

"What?" Troy asked. Chad and Taylor were busy talking so it left Troy and Gabriella talking.

They all walked down the sidewalk together. "Here, try some."

"No, no that's okay," Troy said shaking his head.

Gabriella wrinkled her eyebrows, "Come on. Please?" She pouted and he smiled, "Okay fine."

Troy got his hand ready to hold the cone but instead found Gabriella feeding it to him. He looked at her with a small smile and opened his mouth. She giggled when the ice cream rubbed off onto his nose.

"You have," She giggled, "Ice cream right there." She tapped his nose with a laugh. "Even Chad can eat the ice cream without getting it on him," She teased.

Chad looked back at them, "What?" Gabriella rolled her eyes when she saw that he had ice cream on his face.

"Never mind."

Taylor laughed, "Oops, I put that there."

"You better take it off," Chad said as he pointed to his cheek.

Taylor looked at him with a smirk then kissed his cheek, making the ice cream go away.

Gabriella smiled at them and they all continued walking.

They all went to their houses but Troy stopped himself from crossing. "Uh Gabriella?"

Gabriella stopped and turned around. She looked around confused, "Yeah Troy?"

"Do you think we could hang out? So maybe you could remember me?"

Gabriella smiled, "Sure."

He led her to his house and was greeted by Mary.

"Hey Mare, can you let mom know Gabriella's over?" He asked his older sister.

She nodded then smiled, "Hey Gabi." She hugged her and Gabriella smiled back.

They walked up to Troy's room. Troy just walked in and put his stuff down while Gabriella walked slowly in, letting her eyes wander in the room.

"You really don't remember?"

She shook her head as she continued to look around. She walked to the wall with pictures and squinted on a picture of the two of them.

Her head started to hurt. Gabriella instinctively pulled her hand up to her head as she gasped in pain.

"Gabi?" Troy stood up and ran to her, "You okay?" Concern was written all over his face.

"Yeah," She said after a deep breath. "I guess the picture made me remember things but I just don't know what."

Troy nodded slowly. He helped her onto his bed and patted his pillow to make her lay down and rest. She felt light headed so she followed his orders.

"We'll save pictures for next time," He told her softly, hoping not to make her head hurt more. When she didn't nod or say anything Troy frowned slightly.

"Do you wanna go home?"

Gabriella thought about it but decided against it. "No, I wanna stay here."

Troy smiled and nodded, "Okay. Well, I guess we could do homework while we talk."

She nodded and they started to work.

When it was time for Gabriella to leave, Troy insisted on walking her home. Since it was late, it was getting cold. Before they stepped outside, Troy stopped her.

"Wait, here." He took his sweatshirt off and handed it to her, "It's cold now."

She smiled politely, "Oh, you don't have-"

"I know, and I wouldn't if I didn't want to. But I am, so..."

Gabriella smiled at him and couldn't believe how she could forget such a wonderful person.

"Thank you," She told him. "I'll give it back to you-"

Troy shook his head and took her hand into his as he walked out of the house. He closed the door, still keeping her hand in his. "Don't worry about it. Just keep it, you can add it to the others."

"Others?" She asked as he nodded. "Yeah, you have practically all my hoodies. You like the hoodies better than the zip ups." He remembered out loud.

"Oh."

Troy reminded her, "You have them all on the left side of your closet." He smiled, "Along with the rest of my stuff."

Gabriella smiled and repeated her thought, but this time said it out loud. "I still can't believe how I could forget such a wonderful person."

"I'm not all that wonderful," He said as he lifted the hand he was holding and kissed it lightly. He winked and she giggled.

They walked slowly to her house and she looked at him questioningly. They came to a stop.

"Of course you are."

"Really, I-I'm not."

Troy rubbed the back of his neck and Gabriella shook her head and pointed at him. "Don't you rub your neck on me, I know what that means."

Troy looked at her with a confused expression.

"Yeah, Bubba," She said with an eye roll as she let go of his hand. "You're talking to me like I'm some new person you just met and you're acting like I'm Shar."

She shook her head, "You don't need to keep going on with the plan, it's over."

"I-I'm not," Troy said. He stopped before he could fully defend himself. "Did you just call me Bubba?"

"Yeah, I've been calling you that all my life." She rolled her eyes again, "Just because we had that stupid fight, doesn't mean I'm not allowed to call you that."

"Stupid fight?"

She sighed, "Did you lose your memory or something? How could you forget?"

"I didn't lose my memory, you did!" Troy said as they continued to talk in the middle of the street.

She laughed mockingly then stopped. "I did?"
