THE DAY IS EDGING CLOSER


The gang was gathered in Troy and Chad's room. Taylor had her laptop out and was showing the gang something.

"I think that one," said Sharpay, pointing to the screen.

"Yeah, I agree," said Chad.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Gabriella asked. Taylor slammed down the lid of her laptop.

"Nothing," she said quickly.

"Right," said Troy.

"How was your little sunset moment?" Chad asked.

"Peaceful," said Gabriella and she smiled at Troy.

"Anyway, what are we doing now?" Ryan asked.

"Don't know, any suggestions?" Sharpay asked.

"I don't have any ideas," said Troy.

"Me neither," said Chad.

"Movie?" Taylor asked.

"May as well, there's nothing else," said Gabriella and she went over to Troy's bag for the DVDs.

"I think we should watch 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'," said Troy. Everyone looked at him, "it's funny!"

"Fine," said Chad and Gabriella put it on.


At the end of the movie, Gabriella was asleep, her head on Troy's chest. Taylor and Chad were also asleep; Taylor's head on Chad's chest and the rest of them were wide awake.

"Guys, wake up," said Sharpay.

"What's the time?" Gabriella asked.

"Um, nine thirty," said Sharpay. Gabriella went to sit up but fell back down again.

"Headache?" asked Troy.

"And dizzy," said Gabriella.

"You should probably go to bed," said Troy.

"Yeah, I will," said Gabriella.

"I'll help her," said Sharpay and she stood up and helped Gabriella up.

"Goodnight guys," said Gabriella and the two girls walked out of the room.

"Finally she's gone," said Taylor as she opened her laptop.

"What do you mean finally?" Troy asked.

"We're making something for her," said Kelsi.

"What?" Troy asked.

"A PowerPoint presentation," said Ryan.

"With pictures of our gang," said Zeke.

"We took some pictures of this holiday and some from school and we're putting them in a PowerPoint," explained Taylor.

"Can I see?" Troy asked.

"No," said Sharpay as she re-entered the room.

"Why not? I'm not moving!" said Troy.

"It'll mean a lot to you as well as her," said Taylor, "so we want to keep it a surprise for you too."

"Fine, but what do I do whilst you guys work on it?" Troy asked.

"I don't know," said Zeke.

"I'll play games on my phone," said Troy and he pulled out his phone and started playing 'golf'.


Four days zoomed by and before long it was Tuesday. As it was a sunny day, but not hot enough for the pool or beach, the gang played basketball.

"Ryan, do you wanna play?" Chad asked when they entered the courts.

"Yeah, I don't personally want to sit with the cheer squad," Ryan replied.

"Okay then, which one of you girls wants to play?" Troy asked.

"Oh! Can I play?" Gabriella asked.

"Fine," said Troy playfully.

"So teams are?" Gabriella asked as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail.

"Uh, me Chad and Ryan onto Jason, Zeke and Gabi," said Troy.

"Fine," said Jason, "but we all know who's gonna win."

"What are you trying to say?" Gabriella asked, hands on hips.

"Well, you're a girl," said Jason.

"Glad you noticed," said Gabriella.

"Whatever, Jason deal with it, let's start playing," said Chad and they all gathered around the jump ball circle.

"I've got Bolton!" Gabriella yelled out.

"Danforth!" Zeke yelled.

"Evans!" Jason yelled.

"Oh, I hope you wore something absorbent 'cause I'm gonna be wiping the court with you, Montez," Troy mocked as he shoved Gabriella.

"Watch your back, Bolton, literally," said Gabriella. As Troy turned around, Taylor threw the ball in the air and Zeke tapped it and it landed right in Gabriella's hands.

"Sneaky," said Troy, "but now you have to do something with it. Go on; show me what you got, Montez." Gabriella thought quick and bounced the ball through his legs to Zeke. She then ran around Troy, setting up the give and go. She sunk the lay-up.

"Ooh! You've been schooled!" Gabriella mocked.

"Yeah whatever, Chad, inbound the ball," said Troy. He turned to Chad who was literally 'rofl'.

"You, Troy Bolton, got beaten in basketball, by a girl!" Chad laughed, "did I mention she was your girlfriend?"

"Inbound the ball and shut up," said Troy as he pulled Chad off the ground by his collar.

"Aw! Troy's upset!" Gabriella mocked.

"You, shut up, you don't know what's coming for you," said Troy.

"Yeah, whatever you say captain," said Gabriella. Troy ran over to her but she ran away. He ran after her and eventually caught up. He grabbed her around the waist and spun her around. The other three girls went and stood with the guys to watch the scene. Troy spun her around a few times and then fell over, Gabriella next to him. Chad was about to yell when Taylor stopped him.

"Let hem go, there's only two days." Troy and Gabriella rolled over on their sides and burst out laughing. They sat p still laughing.

"I love your laugh," he said.

"Aw, you're so sweet," said Gabriella and she kissed him on the lips lightly. He helped her up and they shared a hug.

"I love you," he said.

"I'm gonna miss you so much," said troy. They shared a passionate kiss. Just as they were starting to enjoy it, Chad cleared his throat.

"Sorry man," said Troy and he and Gabriella walked back over to the gang.

"Can we continue now?" Chad asked.

"Yeah, gees Troy," said Gabriella and she smiled at him before defending him as Chad went over to the sideline to inbound the ball.
