Gabriellas POV

3 months later

I think my life is going really well track started a while back and the season is very long compared to most states. Volleyball started and ended, swimming is starting soon also. Life is going great so scratch that last thought. I really think that i am so scared right now. School is like almost over and colledge will be starting soon. I will be going to the University of Alberquerque, or maybe UCLA or NYU or something I havent really narrowed it down though.

Troy and I well we're pretty great! I think I found more things out about him then in all our lives. I love him and now I can say it with confidence it feels pretty damn good. I finally got that cold but I got it from this girl Taryn in my gym class. We were push up partners but other than that i don't know how I got it. I feel horrible I have a sneezy, coughing, vomiting, acheing kind of sickness. I should be on one of those commercials for theraflu or peto bismal or something. I just got it last night and it's really kind of funny how I realized I had it now that i look back.

Flashback

10:35 p.m.

I was watching The Little Mermaid and talking on the phone with Troy.

"It is like so hot in my room. I feel like i'm in a sweathouse."

"Hahaha thats totally the opposite of my room, It's kind of cold even though it's usually hot. But I guess it is different in our houses."

"I dont know maybe it's just me. I don't know what im going to wear tomarrow. I should call Taylor or Sharpay for that."

"I don't care what you wear your sexy either way."

"Yea your not too bad yourself." I looked out from my balcony window to see what Troy was doing. As usual he was playing a video game, I guess the volume was off cause I couldn't hear it.

"What video game are you playing?"

"Sims 2 kind of boring but you know- wait how did you know I was playing a video game. Are you watching me?" I saw him looking around so I ran from the window so he wouldn't see me. I soon regreted that cause I felt like I was going to throw up. I put my hand over mouth which made me drop the phone and went to my bathroom and threw up in the toilet. I can't be pregnant I'm still a virgin I've only made-out with people nothing more. I must be sick and I'm not likeing this sick at all I can tell. When i figured i was done I got up flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth. Then I heard the phone ring and remembered Troy.

"Hello, Montez residence."

"Hey Brie what happend?"

"Umm nothing I just hit the wrong button." I tried to sound cheery and all but I was sweating bucket now and felt horrible. I decided to get in the bed after putting A Cinderella Story in the dvd player.

"Listen Troy I've got to go I'll talk to you later." I didn't wait for a reply I just hung up.

End Flashback

Maybe it's not that funny but it seems like it to me. I went to sleep soon after that, then I woke up way late this morning. My mom said she'd be home as soon as possible but I know that she will still be back at 7 as usual. Im pretty much just checking out myspace and searching pictures of Alex Evans on photobucket, listening to the radio and just chillin. School just started an hour ago and I'm guessing everyone is wondering where I am. Taylor called like 3 times and Troy about a dozen. I didn't pick up though I was in the bathroom throwing up. I have a fever of 103 degrees and should be sleep. I don't feel sleepy though but I guess it wouldn't hurt if i tried to sleep.

Okay been there tried it nothing happend, to many things to do that I never thought of doing. For once since like 7th grade I will actually be here on a school day to get the mail first. That is very hard in a house of five people. Liz said she'd come home after her classes which end at 1 to get me any soup or hwatever I may need. But it's about 9:45 now so that is a long while away for me. I could go visit Lisa and see what shes doing but being sick I may not want to do that. I may as well comment everyones pictures and comment people I never knew I had.

I took a freaking two hours to successfully do all of my friends and that is alot of cutes, hot, i love this, yur a cutie, i love this and you 33, and so on so forth for one day.

"Boy walkin' the spot he so fresh and (uh huh)
He got what he needs impressin' (uh huh)
Just look at the way that he dressin' (uh huh)
Ain't no question chicks like oh

Girl walk in the spot she stop traffic (uh huh)
She blowin' your mind with her asset (uh uh)
So Jessica Alba fantastic
Instant classic boys like oh

Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more that he said, she said..."

I jumped when my phone started ringing, I took a breathe and reached for it. I knew who was calling and didn't need to look at id.

(Gabriella, Taylor, Background Sounds)

"Hey Tay!"

"Oh my gosh Gabs you don't know how worried we've been so worried!"

"Is that Gaby?"

"Yea it's her I finally got her,"

"Hey Gaby!"

"Sharpay and Kelsi say hey. Why arent you at school?"

"I have a really bad fever andshould be sleep right now. But I don't feel like it."

"How bad a fever Gaby?"

"I was on myspace and you know Tommy in 11th he has the cutest little picture."I was getting off subject yes but I really don't want to tell her I mean right now she's the only entertainment I have.

"Gabriella Amanda Mariana Montez! How bad of a fever do you have?" I was scared, Taylor is always very serious when someone is sick she wants to be a doctor really bad so she tries to know this stuff.

"I haven't check recently." I said very quietly.

"Well check right now." I reached for the digital thenomitor(?) and put it under my tongue. I waited about a minute and then took it out. My fever went up so I'm guessing a result of staying up so long and not resting.

"Gabriella I know that it has been more than a minute so what was your tempature?"

Taylors POV

"Umm well my fever is umm..."

"Gaby please how bad is it?"

"About- well it's not that bad really! It's only umm..."

"Gabriella Amanda Mariana Montez!" This girl is being stubborn like always how bad can it be?

"105 degrees," I was in shock. That is all I can say, I can't believe Gabriella is up and talking acting like she's fine when she must be feeling awful. She probably can't even move let alone sleep. This girl is too stubborn for her own good she must be home alone and Troys mom most likely doesnt know.

"Gabriella..." I let out a loud pleading sigh.

"Taylor what is it how bad?"

"105"

"Oh my gosh she should be sleeping, she's only making things worse by staying up."

"You know Gabriella Kelsi she's stubborn with everything you tell her she always puts everyone before herself."

"You guys know I can hear you."

"Gabi please go to sleep you need rest. Im calling Mrs. Bolton so she can check on you."

"Umm I guess I could go over there-"

"No Gabriella she is well enough to come and take care of you when is anyone supposed to even come check on you?"

"Well Lizzie said she was coming at 1 but thats it my mom said she'd be home as soon as possible but she will like always be home at 7. I wish she hadn't been promoted." I heard her sigh on the other end of the line but I knew she needed rest.

"Gabi please go to bed, I'm begging you."

"Hey Taylor!"

"Omg is that Chad and Troy calling you!?!"

"Yea why?"

"Please whatever you do don't tell Troy I'm sick. He has always been the one to worry about me when he should be studying or whatnot. Please Taylor I will consider calling her but I feel very tired now after talking. I'll watch a movie and stuff then go to sleep just whatever you Kelsi and most important Sharpay do don't tell Troy. Please. I love you Tay. Bye"

She hung up I looked at Sharpay and Kelsi but talked at Sharpay.

"Whatever you do do not tell Troy Gabi is sick. Agreed?"

"Agreed" Kelsi and Sharpay said in unison. Chad, Zeke, Troy, and Jason walked over. None of us could look at Troy. I looked at Sharpay she completely had her back to Troy and I knew that Troy would find that weird.

"Is Sharpay mad at me?" Troy asked the group me and Kelsi looked at each other and I shook my head as if to say not a word. Kelsi frowned at me as if saying but Gabi. I just shook my head, I know Gabi is stubborn but she knows she has to eat something and take her meds still so I hope she uses that 4.42 GPA brain of hers.

"No I'm not mad at you Troy."

"Then why won't you look at me?"

"Because..."

"Beacuse...?"

"Im not at liberty to say." Once she said that Kelsi and I knew we were next we tried to leave but our guys had their grip on us and we weren't successful.

"What do you guys know that I dont know?"

"Taylor whats going on?" Chad got into the conversation, I closed my eyes so I wouldn't have to look at him. I had a good feeling that Kelsi was doing the same.

"Whats up with you guys?"

"I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry..."

Speak of the devil Gabi you promised you'd sleep.

"Hello?"

"Taylor, umm could you bring my homework over after school I'll meet you at the front door so please get my homework ok? You know my combo, I'm a little tired so I'm going to bed. The movie is getting good."

"That's very interesting."

"He's there isn't he?"

"Si amiga."

"Great"

"i know."

"Well don't tell him please."

"No, no I would never even though it would be wise."

"No it wouldn't he would worry about me all day and then would pay attention during practise or anything so don't. I gotta, gotta throw up bye."She hung up. She must have had a flu since she was still a virgin she wasn't pregnant. I'm scared I hope nothing happens to her she sounds so sick on the phone. I guess I'll get her homework the rest of the day there really wasn othign this morning.

"Tay!"

"What Chad?!?"

"Who was that?" I shot Kelsi a look she looked aroung and found Amy putting her phone back in her purse and walking this way.

"It was Amy!"

"Oh okay." I know he didn't fully buy it but it's the best I've got.

"Alright well Sharpay why won't you look at me?" Troy said still wanting his answer. I quickly grabbed Sharpay and Kelsi's wrists and started dragging them down the hall.

"Got to get to class sorry."

Gabriellas POV

1:30 p.m.

I'm bored I woke up 5 minutes ago and Liz gave me some soup and some medicine juice and a wet cloth. She said she had another class and the highway was busy when she was getting off so she had to go. She also said to call Lisa if I got worst. Then I was alone again.

2:15 p.m.

I'm bored out of my mind and don't know what to do I would do homework but have none with me right now. Grr sleep is always my only option.

Taylors POV

I was worried about Gabi all day and really was idstracted i hate this really. I want to tell Troy but I know that since Gabi is pleading for me not to I should respect that but he will find out.

"I think we should tell Troy," Sharpay said

"Yea it would be smart thing to do," LIttle did we know but Troy Chad Zeke and Jason were around the corner listening to our convo.

"I know butGabriella said not to tell him. I think we should reaspect that."

"I guess," Kelsi said unconvenced.

"Well you looked like youd seen a ghost Taylor when you got off the phone with her when the guys were there. What was that about?"

"Oh well Gabi sounded so sick I swear I wanted to cry. I mean when she called me last night she sounded bad but I just figured that she'd be here today. But she umm said she had to throw up then she actually hung up. LIzzie came at 1 i guess but who knows. She dosen't want to worry Troy guys you know that and she needs her rest she doesn't need to worry about Troy worring about her."

"Your right but I don't know. Gabriella needs to stop being stubborn all the time. omg she isn't pregnant is she?!?"

"No Gabi is still a virgin and you guys know that. You've known that since well oh 4th grade."

"Huh?"

"Sharpay you had a birthday party and invited all the girls in the grade to a sleep over. You stupidly rented a movie that had sex in it then when we asked truth or dare Gabi chose truth. You asked he who she wants to loose her virginity with, and she said-"

"TROY BOLTON!!!!" Kelsi practicly screamed with delight then I heard Chad laughing and someone trying to hush him. I got Kelsi and Sharpays attention and they had the same idea as me.

"I wanted to loose it with Troy too you know." Sharpay said very sassy.

"I did too" Kelsi followed.

"I know I did but you know what everygirl at the party agreed. Troy is hot and I'd go with him now if Gabi wasn't."
"But her and Troy were made for each other. It wouldn't be right otherwise and you both know that." Kelsi stated

"Yea,"

"I love you Chad and you know that so stop mugging Troy!" I yelled so the guys knew they were way busted.

"Yea guys you can come on out."

They came from around the counter and all look worried especially Troy.

"Is is Gabi sick?" He asked like a little 5 year old

"Umm yea she has a flu but she's fine. A little bored home alone but fine."

"We got to get to practice Troy. Troy you can visit her after." Chad said trying to pull Troy away.

"Troy go I'll check on her. she's alright I promise."
