Chapter 10

Gabriella's POV

When I walked into homeroom I could see Ryan's face full of anger. I felt so sorry for him but I still love Troy. I turned around to Troy, "So you want to keep it a secret?"

He looked confused then said, "Gabi I didn't choose. What I saw made me go back to thinking mode."

I turned back to face the front with my jaw slightly open. The nerve of him! He made me hurt Ryan for no reason. I turned my head towards Ryan and saw a slight smirk. He must have heard my little conversation. He must hate me by now! Now he'll never forgive me! I feel so ashamed.

When the bell rang I rushed out to go talk to Ryan. I was shocked at how fast he could walk. Not run but walk. I gave up my little chase and got my books for my next class. I was still in shock. This was the second time I misunderstood Troy. I thought I'm supposed to be smart and able to listen and understand things like that. Even the very simple things like the words coming out of Troy's mouth.

The day seemed to pass by very slowly. A second seemed like it was a whole minute. Finally lunch came. This was my chance to talk to Ryan. I mean he can't run away right? The boy has got to eat some lunch. Unfortunately he was nowhere to be seen. I walked up to Sharpay and asked where her brother is.

"He's eating lunch with Kelsi. She and Jason broke up again. I think they might get back together."

I thanked her and quickly walked away. My heart felt heavy and I could feel tears threatening to come out. He moved on that quickly? He must hate me so much if he already got someone else to make out with. I slowly sat down next to Taylor and ate my lunch silently.

Ryan's POV

I was sitting here with Kelsi eating lunch. I mean its Kelsi not Gabriella. Sure I was glad that she broke up with Jason for me but I was thinking of Gabi the whole time. Sure I wished Gabi would do what Kelsi did instead but Kelsi was my first love. I guess I can accept it but do I really? I looked at Kelsi but her face was Gabi's face. Weird is all I have to say. I shook my head and there was Kelsi and only Kelsi. Her face was full of concern, "You okay? Do you have a headache?"

I shook my head, "No I'm okay. I'm going to start getting ready for my next class." This wasn't true. I remember I wanted Kelsi as my girlfriend so badly but that kiss with Gabriella changed everything. Kelsi just looked at me weird. I don't blame her. I mean it's only been 10 minutes into lunch time.

"Um, Ryan are you okay? It's only been ten minutes and you haven't eaten yet."

I looked at my sandwich and there wasn't a bite mark on it. True I haven't eaten yet because I was to busy kissing Kelsi. Weird I know but I guess she's the only one who will ever like me. I mean she was my first love. First love will always last and that goes the same for Gabriella. Her first love is and will always be Troy.

"Kelsi don't worry about it. I'm okay. There's nothing wrong. I just need to do a quick checkup on my homework for my next class."

Kelsi nodded her head, "I understand Ryan. I'll see you later."

I walked away and avoided the lunch room because I know Gabi would be there. I should get over this whole situation. Gabriella might never ever be mine. That's the word though. The thing that will always make me love her. Might.

Sharpay's POV

Where the hell is Ryan? It's been like 15 minutes after school. I looked around to see if he was anywhere nearby. Nothing. Nobody was around except for Troy who was on his phone. Great I'm stuck outside with the boy who broke my heart. I crossed my arms and hit my foot against the pavement out of anger. I still really love Troy but let's face it. He's never going to choose.

How about Zeke? Well he's just a really close friend for now. I told him I wanted to see what Troy's decision would be then see what will happen from there. But that's obviously years from now because of the slowness of Troy's brain trying to work.

I turned around and saw Troy coming towards me. Shit, what does he want?

"Hey Sharpay need a ride or something?"

Beep beep! Beep beep!

I took out her sidekick. Whew saved by the bell. This is probably Ryan telling me he's coming. Wrong thought. He just texted me saying that he forgot to get me. He's already home! Great, just great. Now Troy has to give me a ride!

"Actually yeah I do. I need a ride."

"Okay come on. I'll drop you off at your house."

As soon as he turned around I rolled my eyes. Why now? I got in his car and put my seatbelt on. The ride was silent for a few minutes until he had to open his big mouth.

"So what's up?"

I didn't feel in the mood for talking so I answered sarcastically, "The sky Troy! Duh."

He looked a little confused, "What?"

I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. I pointed up with my finger, "The sky Troy. It's up there right? That's what's up," I said while looking up then at him.

When Troy reached a stop light he pointed up with a smile, "That's not the sky. That's the roof of the car."

That little smart ass, "Fine how about that," I asked while pushing a button to open the cover for his car since it was a convertible. "There, look it's the sky! No roof of the car but the sky."

I saw him turn his car towards the mall. He then drove into the garage and parked his car. "Nope, not the sky but the roof of the garage," he said with that little smirk of his.

I shook my head and put my hands up in defeat, "Fine you win. I mean this is stupid. We're fighting about what's up Troy!"

He shook his head with a smile, "Hey since we're here let's go to the mall."

He got me there. I could never refuse the mall. It's like he planned it or something. "Ugh, fine let's go."

Troy's POV

As I walked into the mall with Sharpay by my side I looked around to see what we could possibly do. "Hey Sharpay want a drink?"

I saw her nod her head, "Sure why not Troy. I mean of course we would come to the mall to drink not shop."

I smiled at her little remark, "Whatever you say but I want to drink so come on. Let's go get Starbucks."

As we walked I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I was staring at Sharpay's face and the way she walked. She walked like she actually owned the mall. She noticed me staring and snapped, "What are you staring at?"

I shook my head "Nothing, nothing." I was still out of it so I put my arm around her. Surprisingly she didn't push me away. As soon as we got our drinks we walked around walking from store to store. I moved my arm down behind her back and moved my hand to her hand. I laced my fingers with hers and looked down at her. Again she didn't move or let go.

I saw her looking up at me with a smile on her face. I smiled back at her and walked with her to the next store.

Zeke's POV

This is great! Chad ditched me to hang out with Taylor. So now I'm stuck here in the mall. A guy that's all alone in a mall. This makes me look gay.

I looked around and saw Gabriella. Yes, I won't be alone. "Hey Gabi, what are you doing here alone?"

She looked at me with a frown, "Taylor ditched me for Chad."

"Hey don't worry. Chad ditched me for Taylor."

Gabi smiled and linked her arm with mine, "I guess it's just you and me then, huh buddy?"

I nodded my head as we started walking to all the stores Gabriella wanted to check out.

Being the gentleman I am, I carried Gabi's bags of clothes that she bought. As we were walking with our arms linked together we saw Troy and Sharpay. I wasn't sure it was them because the two people I see are holding hands. So I squinted my eyes so I could get a better look. Sure enough it was them but why were they holding hands?

"Hey Gabi, is that Troy and Sharpay," I asked her with uncertainty because I wasn't 100 sure and Gabriella is smarter than me.

Gabi also squinted her eyes and her mouth dropped open, "Why the hell are they holding hands?"

Gabi yelled pretty loud so I covered her mouth and dragged her inside a close by store.

"Gabi shut the hell up! I never knew you were that loud."

I could see that Gabi's face was full of anger, confusion and mostly hurt. I wouldn't blame her I mean it seems like Troy and Sharpay already decided and they're just keeping us in the dark. I could now see tears slowly forming in Gabi's eyes.

"Zeke I'm going there and I'm going to confront them right now!"

Gabriella's POV

I could hear Zeke yelling at me and trying to tell me to stop. I'm not going to stop for even a second. Those two have got some explaining to do. I walked so fast that my long hair was flowing behind me and I was walking hard trying to release my anger but I couldn't. I was so mad and so hurt at the same time. I could see from the corner of my eye that Zeke was behind me. Wasn't he on the basketball team? I bet he could stop me but I also bet that Zeke wants to confront them too.

I was right behind the couple so I walked a little faster so I could catch up to them. Now I was right behind them. I pulled on Sharpay's precious hair and yelled, "You bitch!"

Sharpay screamed so loud that the whole world could hear her, "Let go you random bitch!"

I yelled even louder than her and pulled on her hair harder, "I'm not a random bitch! You're the bitch and you're the one who is sneaking with Troy behind my back and Zeke's back!" I pulled her hair even harder and she was close to being down on the floor.

I could feel Troy trying to pry me off, "Gabi let go! I can explain."

Zeke was also trying to pull me off and yelling at me to stop. I wouldn't listen I was too mad. I pulled even harder and Sharpay was an inch away from the floor of the mall. People were staring but they weren't trying to stop me from pulling Sharpay's hair off.

"Sharpay you're a fucking bitch! You think you're all that! Well guess what? You're not! Your just one of those shimmy-shimmy lip gloss Barbie's! You're a fake; you're plastic just like a Barbie!"

Sharpay screamed louder, "Bitch let go! My hair! I'm not fake, okay? Now just let me go and-"

I cut her off by pushing her down to the ground but I was still pulling her hair. She was screaming so loud now that some people might have gone deaf. I felt dozens of people pulling me off of Sharpay but I was still holding on to her hair which hurt her even more. The people who were pulling me off finally got me off of Sharpay and her hair.

I turned around to see who got me off of Sharpay and it was the whole gang. There was Chad, Jason, Troy, Zeke, Ryan, Kelsi, and Taylor. Sharpay got herself up and tackled me down to the floor. I thought she would be strong with all those dancing lessons but I was able to get her off of me with no problem.

Chad and Jason were holding Sharpay back while Zeke and Troy were holding me. Since Ryan wasn't as strong as them he stood in the middle of Sharpay and me with his arms outstretched.

"You bitch! You almost pulled my hair off my head!"

Stupid ass Sharpay, I meant to do that. I yelled back at her, "I'm not the backstabber here now am I?"

Sharpay yelled back at me with anger in her eyes, "You know what Gabi? You changed from a sweet little innocent girl to a fucking whore! You're a bitch now! What happened to you huh? Remember I told you not to change because of a guy?"

Oh so now a she's lecturing me? Hell no, I'm the smart one, "I didn't change because of Troy! I changed because someone I thought was my friend keeps backstabbing me! So now I'm a changed person."

I shook Troy and Zeke off and ran to my car. Taylor and Kelsi were following close behind me. Tears were streaming down my face. I did change into someone I'm not. I'm not proud of it but I realized that I have to be tough now not some pushover who will let anyone take what was mine. I guess from now on I won't be the same ever.

I got in my car and Kelsi and Taylor got in with me. I put my head against the steering wheel and started crying while Taylor and Kelsi were sitting there with me offering comfort.

A/N: Wow, I personally think that was one of my best chapters. If you don't agree it's okay. Just tell me on how I can improve. I also know that Gabriella was way OOC but I really wanted to show how Gabi is slowly changing and how hurt she is. So sorry if you didn't like it. I'm still trying to work on the OCCness. Remember review and most importantly VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!!
