1"Finally! We're back!" Sharpay exclaimed the moment they stepped of the bus. Everyone stood in a circle and waited around for the teachers. Gabriella smiled weakly then looked over at Troy who was typing away on his sidekick. She noticed him smirk then look over at Amber Rosalyn who gave him a sexy smile. Gabriella bit her bottom lip and could feel her face turning red with jealousy and anger.
"Are you alright, Gabby?" Taylor asked. Gabriella nodded. Everyone but Gabriella seemed to be talking. Her attention was all on Troy. She stepped over to him and smiled weakly again.
"Um, Troy, you were really quiet on the ride. Are you...okay?" Gabriella really wanted to ask if he was angry but held back.
"I'm fine but just, um, tired, jet lagged, you know." Troy said not looking at her but at his phone.
"Oh, sure. Did you wanna watch a movie tonight at my house or we could go see one." Gabriella offered.
"I can't." Troy said slowly. Damn it, Troy, look at me, Gabriella thought bitterly. "I'm going out with my parents. My mom really missed me."
"Oh, okay. So see you later?"
"Yeah," Troy said with a smile. Gabriella felt her eyes wetting and she quickly went to collect her bags. She then waited for her mother to come and they drove home in silence even though Mrs. Montez was begging to know what happened.
When they finally reached home, Gabriella broke down.
"Troy said he was going out with his parents?" Sharpay asked later that night when she, Gabriella, and Taylor were sitting on her fluffy duvet in the center of the large room.
"Yeah," Gabriella said with a nod. Sharpay and Taylor went quiet and this scared the brunette. "What do you guys know that I don't?"
"Gabby, it's nothing." Taylor said biting her nails slightly. Gabriella got angry.
"Look I'm not five, okay? Just tell me." Gabriella said defiantly.
"Okay," Sharpay said. "Well...
Flashback
Sharpay and Taylor were walking slowly down the hallway at the lodge. Sharpay sighed suddenly and said, "I wish we didn't have to go. This sucks. I gave those guys my number."
"You are such a-" But Sharpay never found out what she was.The two girls saw something they couldn't believe.
Troy was roughly kissing a girl at the very top of th staircase where no one but employees were allowed. The girl had long, straight brown hair with caramel highlights. She was very pretty (most boys say hot).
"Are you serious? Should we tell Gabriella?" Taylor asked nervously and with some pain.
"How can we explain that we saw her boyfriend tonguing some girl. Maybe we should forget. I don't know. Just come on." Sharpay said before pulling her down the stairs.
End Flashback
"I hate him!" Gabriella sobbed. Sharpay and Taylor sighed and patted her back trying to comfort her but Gabriella felt stupid and hurt. "He said he loved me, you guys. I love him and he made me. I hate him! I hate him!" She jumped up and ran out the room feeling warm with tears running down. I need air, she thought.
