Chapter 11: Are You Trying To Kill Me?
Gabriella and Taylor were waiting outside the hospital for Troy to come and pick them up. They already had Gabriella's stuff in their hands and Troy was supposed to pick them up ten minutes ago.
"Where the hell is Troy?" Gabi said frustrated.
"I don't know. Let me call him again." Taylor took out her phone and speed dialed Troy. She got the answering machine again and hung out. Suddenly, Troy's car speed into the parking lot and to the hospital entrance.
"Sorry. Lost track of time," he said when he got out of the car. He took Gabriella's stuff and put it in the trunk of his BMW 335i Convertible. A/N: Real car. I searched online. It's gorgeous. Gabriella seated in the passenger seat and Taylor sat in the back with a bunch of papers, a basketball, and a black athletic bag. Troy sat back in the driver seat. Before driving, he pecked Gabriella's lips.
"You're lucky you have soft lips. Because if you didn't, you wouldn't be forgiven for being late."
"Well, I'm sorry. Coach Andrews made us practice longer since it's his last week of coaching."
"Where's he going?" Taylor asked.
"Uh… home?!" he said in a 'duh' tone. Taylor smacked his head. "Hey woman! I'm driving."
"No…. stupid. I'm asking why it's your coach's last week."
"Oh, cause he's retiring. We're getting a new coach next week."
"That sucks."
"Why? You want to try out for basketball?"
"If I do, you'll have to try out cheerleading with me!!" Taylor said sarcastically and excitedly.
"No way." He didn't catch the sarcasm. Gabriella playfully rolled her eyes.
"I know that. I was just being sarcastic."
"Oh." He concentrated on the road and drove to his house.
"I'm not living here," Gabriella said.
"Yeah, we know. But we moved our stuff to here since we went over the hotel payment." Gabriella understood and nodded. Taylor and she walked into the house while Troy gets the stuff out of the car. She walks in to find everyone in party hats and a banner up on the wall saying "Welcome back Gabi!"
"Awww. Thanks you guys!" Gabriella ran up to them and gave them a group hug. Taylor joined in and after Troy put down the stuff, he joined in too.
"You guys are the best," Gabriella said crying with happiness.
"It's worth it. Since now you got your memory back and we don't have to be awkward with you," Jason said.
"Yeah. And for that, I made your favorite strawberry chocolate cake," Zeke said, holding a cake with chocolate frosting all over and strawberries on each corner.
"MY FAVORITE!!!" Gabriella yelled. She ran over to Zeke, but Chad got there before her. Unfortunately, she lost balance when she ran up to Zeke, causing Chad to hit his face with the cake. Chad lifted his head off the cake with chocolate frosting all over his face. He wiped his eyes and ran over Gabriella who took off a while ago when she accidentally pushed Chad into the cake. The gang burst out laughing their heads off. Gabriella and Chad came back. Gabriella had frosting on her cheeks and nose while Chad still had frosting all over his face.
"That was close," Gabriella mumbled. She walked over to Troy and hugged him around the waist. He kissed her cheeks and nose.
"Mmmm… chocolate." Gabriella giggled and took a bit of frosting and put it on Troy's lips. She was about to kiss it when Troy licked it off.
"I was going to eat that." Troy took a bit of frosting and put it in Gabriella's mouth. She sucked on it and Troy pulled his finger out. A/N: DO NOT THINK THAT WAY! IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
"Alright guys. Let's eat." The gang started grabbing the cake instead of using the plates Zeke got.
"C'mon. Let's have a dance party!!!" Sharpay shouted. She turned up the radio and Cassie's Is It You was playing.
I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you
And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows always
Baby I like to have you in my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinking on the one that I've been waiting for
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me? (Could you be?)
Could you be the one I need?
I'm looking for someone to share my pain (Uh)
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with trough the night
Someone who I can trust who's hardest right
And I'm looking for someone
And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows always
Baby I like to have you in my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Want to share, shows he cares
Thinking on the one that I've been waiting for
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be this one I need?
Take for grant
How much I care (How much I care)
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of thought to share
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
The rest of the night was partying at Troy's, Chad's, and Jason's house while eating nothing but chips and Zeke's cake.
The next day
A/N: Don't ask the position they're all in. Let's just say they didn't know they were sleeping like that and it was awkward. And no, they aren't naked.
Troy wakes up with Chad's neck stuck between his legs and Sharpay's head on his chest. He tries to sit up without waking Sharpay up but it was too late.
"Hi Troy!!!" she shouted. It was loud enough to wake everyone else. Troy hears choking and he looks at Chad suffocating. He lets go and Chad catches his breathe.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Chad yelled when he caught his breathe.
"Sorry man." They all laughed and got up to go to the dining room. They sat at the couch there while Zeke makes breakfast and Gabriella and Taylor sets the plates and utensils.
"Did you guys notice that Gabi, Tay, and I are going back to Stanford?" Gabriella looked up to see Troy frowning in Zeke's direction. Chad and Kelsi nodded. The rest just sat there with no expression.
"When's our flight?" Gabriella asked, ignoring the depression.
"Noon." Gabriella bit her lip. She looked at Troy who got up and walked to her. He wrapped his arms around her and put his chin on her shoulder.
"I don't want you to go," Troy whispered in her ear.
"I don't want to go either." Then Taylor's cell rings.
"I need to take this call." Taylor's eyes motioned Zeke to come with her.
"Hey Jason? Can you watch the eggs for me? I'll be right back with Taylor." Jason nodded and Zeke ran off with Taylor.
"What's that all about?" Kelsi asked. Gabriella raised her shouders, causing Troy's chin to bump up.
"Oh! Sorry hon." She kissed Troy's chin and he smiled.
"No problem. You bumped my lip too." Gabriella smirked and playfully pushed Troy out of the way to get glasses for drinks. Taylor and Zeke comes back with smiles of their faces.
"Are you guys okay?" Sharpay asked. Taylor nodded excitedly. Zeke just kept his smile on his face.
"There's something fishy and I'm going to find out."
"You'll find out Sharpay. Don't worry," Taylor answered. They sat at the table waiting for the food. A few minutes, the table was filled with delicious food. Bacons, sausages, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. Everyone took as much as they wanted. Only Chad's plate looked like a mountain.
"Wow Gabi. I thought your plate would be the same size as Chad's," Jason said. Gabriella gave him a weird look.
"Since when did I eat like Chad? He's a pig." Chad gave her a 'oh-no-you-didn't' look.
"You used to eat like that when you lost your memory," Sharpay said.
"No wonder my stomach looks rounder." Troy raised his eyebrows playfully. After everyone finished, Ryan and Gabriella helped clean off the table while Jason and Troy washed the dishes. The rest went to the living room to sit and watch TV.
"So Taylor, you said you were going to tell me what you were smiling about on the phone?" Sharpay asked while Zeke was wrapping his arms around her.
"Ummm… Don't tell Gabi alright?" Sharpay nodded and Chad tried to eavesdrop. Kelsi was already listening.
"We're transferring to UCLA," Taylor whispered to them. Zeke smiled and Sharpay, Chad, and Kelsi had on shock faces.
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!"
