Chapter 11: Immense Pressure Pure Chaos

Gabriella's Pov:

So much has happened in the last two months. Needless to say time has passed so quickly. It seems that our senior year have been a big whirlwind. Four more weeks and my so-called punishment is done with. It not like it even matters any because for two months sneaking around has never been sexier. The fact that it's forbidden with the adrenaline of getting caught has been nothing but absolute bliss. As I contemplate the last couple of months my mother walks into the room.

" Gabby look what came for you today."

As I take the envelope from her my mind starts to race. After two months of getting accepted into almost ever college I applied. This moment is what I've been waiting for. This letter is the one I've been waiting for, my dream school.

" So mija what are you waiting for open it."

'' Mom this is it."

I slowly open the envelope and take out the letter. I take a deep breath and start to read it. My mom looked ready to burst.

" So what does it say?"

" You are cordially invited for early admission for the summer class."

As I reread the letter over and over. My mother has been screaming and dancing around in my room.

" Honey you should be more excited. You got in, you made it."

" Yeah I made it"

" No you will not feel guilty about this. You earned this by working hard. You deserve to be happy for your work.

" But mom…

" No buts, if he loves you like you say. Then he will be happy for you. Because that is what love is. Look isn't there a game tonight. I know you are still grounded but because I am happy for you. Why don't you go celebrate with your friends tonight? Then tomorrow we celebrate. Now I am going to call your father and let him know."

As she walks to the door she stops and turns to me.

" I am so proud of you and I love you"

I don't know how long I just sat here. My whole life since I could remember I wanted this. I worked hard in establishing myself. But I never thought that I would find my soul mate. Because that is what Troy is to me. I lay down and just think of what two months has done for us as a couple but more importantly as a whole.

Flashback

The train ride left much to desire of Salt Lake City. This has been the home to my father and his family for as long as I can remember. My parents divorce at an early age in my life. My father found himself another wife. She came with two kids from a previous relationship. My mother and I have never needed anything from him. I barely see him especially since me and my mother are always on the move. My mother at one point thought that maybe I should live with him. That decision was never put into motion because my father and I don't mix. We are like fire and ice. It is sad but true we never really clicked. So I know that this week is going to be one for the ages. As I arrive I find Susan my father's wife waiting for me.

" Gabriella it is so good to see you again."

" Susan how is you. Good to see you also"

" Your father had to work late. He will be home shortly. Let's get you home."

" How are David and Michele doing?"

" Well they are doing good. Michele should be home tonight David comes and goes from college and back."

She continues to go on and on about her children. My mind drifts to Troy and the gang. Today marks the first game with me not there. My phone being back home and I am stuck here to wonder about it. Luckily I have my laptop and can view the stats online.

Two days into the mini vacation at my fathers Michele and me were already at each other's throats. I swear she worst then how Sharpay used to be. My father has been at work so it like being in Salt Lake City alone. I email Troy that I can't take it anymore. He finds it all to amusing and tells me to give it time.

Later that evening my father and I have a big blow out about my life. How free spirited my mother has allowed me to become. How little she has done to make me buckle down. This coming from the man who knows about as much about me as Ms. Darbus does.

" Well dad, mom lets me be myself and doesn't try to get to know me because she is forced to.

" Listen Gabriella I didn't plan on this. All right I want you here as much as you want to be here. So lets make the most of the week."

" How about this father I leave tonight on a train back home. Call it as it is, we tried but it never is enough."

Feeling hurt and defeated I get my things together and call a cab. The thought of being here one more minute make me want to yank my hair right out. My dad and I never have seen eye to eye. He is so much more old school then my mom is. As I get on the train I call the only person I want to see.

" Hello" says the groggy voice on the other end

" Troy" the tears that were threatening to spill over this pass couple of days just give way.

" Gabby, sweetie what is wrong"

" Listen Troy I am on my way home my Train should arrive in about an hour and a half. Can you please be there to pick me up?"

"Gabby what do you mean you are on your way back honey."

" Troy listen the minutes are up and I don't have anymore change can you please be there "

We that the call hangs up and I take a seat and wait to be wrapped in his arms.

Almost two hours later the train pulls to a halt at the station. As I exist out of the train I stop to take a deep breath. I scan the almost empty train station for Troy. What I see makes my heart drop. Standing next to Troy is my angry looking mother. I walk over to them and let Troy engulf me in a hug.

" I'm sorry babe but I called her"

I look over to my mother and am surprise to she her pull me into a hug.

The ride back to Troy's was uneventful. Not one word was spoken. All there was is a boy comforting his girl.

When we arrive at Troy's home he walks out. I look over at my mother with pleading eyes.

" Make it quick please"

I jump out and walk with him up the path to his house. He pulls me into a hug

"I missed you so much" he whispers into my hair.

"I have missed you also"

"I don't care if you are grounded or not I will find a way to see you." He says to me

I give him a quick kiss and start to walk to the car.

"Hey I love you know that, right. You are my world."

I turn and flash him a smile and blow a kiss his way. I ran the rest of the way into my mothers waiting van.

Present Time

I sit up and hide the acceptance letter. There is so much to say that I don't know how to begin. I start to get ready to head over to the gym.
