WOOH! CHAPTER 14! Enjoy! Please review!
"How could you do that to Gabriella and then try to make it seem like it was my fault?" Alex asked in disgust after Troy had entered the locker room.
"But you were plotting with Sharpay to break me and Gabriella up!" Troy answered.
"No I wasn't! I would never do something to hurt her!" said Alex.
"I love Gabriella! I would never purposely try and hurt her," said Troy raising his voice.
"Well you sure didn't act it over the summer with Sharpay!" said Alex, as he walked past Troy.
"I know. I have no excuse for that." Troy turned around to face Alex. He stopped and folded his arms waiting for Troy to keep going. "I was drunk and careless and Sharpay was just there. She wanted it and I just didn't stop her. I feel terrible. How did you find out about that anyways?" asked Troy.
"Oh, Gaby told me when she came to my house, her eyes swollen from crying over you!" said Alex.
"She used to come to me when she cried." He said sitting down on the bench and staring down at the floor. "She really about you. I can't get her back. Not after what happened. I can't keep clinging to the past. I had my chance and I blew it." He stood up and Alex lost his mean stare. "I need to just step aside and let Gaby be happy. I need to let you have your chance. The most I can hope for is that she doesn't hate me," said Troy walking out of the locker room. Alex wasn't expecting this from Troy.
Troy got up and jogged back to the court leaving Alex somewhat confused but glad Troy had realized the truth. Back on the court, they didn't interact other than to pass the ball to each other, for both of them were a bit frazzled, but at least they weren't fighting.

"Eewww! The lunch looks disgusting today!" Gabriella said, pinching her tiny nose.
"What? Is mystery meat with a side of lumpy beetle filled mashed potatoes not your favorite? And I had this whole meal planned-" said Alex jokingly.
"Haha, you're sooo funny," said Gabriella sarcastically as the two went through the lunch line.
"Let's sit outside today, its nice out. I bet the picnic benches are open. C'mon! This 'cafeteria' is making me depressed. There aren't even posters on these grey walls. I feel like I'm in prison," said Alex.
"Alright, whatever you say, jailbird," said Gabriella.
After Alex had finished flicking off all of the dead gnats and wiping off the bird droppings, they sat down onto the blue benches. The classes had painted them a project for the school. There was a big tree just above them so the sun was not too bright.
"They probably ate the mystery meat and died," Gabriella said, referring to the gnats.
"Lets just drink the milk hopefully that's not bad too!" said Alex.
"Hey guys," said Troy as he approached Gaby and Alex's table. Gabriella quickly took a sip of her milk trying to avoid Troy.
"Hi," said Alex, Gabriella ignoring him.
"Can I sit here? " asked Troy.
"Yeah, I guess," said Alex, Gaby still silent.
While sitting at the table, Troy opened up to the two and let them know that he was okay with them two being together because he loved Gaby and if that was what she wanted then so be it. Troy didn't know that Gabriella and Alex weren't going out. Everybody thought they did, but they weren't. Was it that unusual for a girl and a guy to just simply be friends? They began to mend their relationship and although it was not completely healed, it was on the brink.

Gabriella had been waiting all week for Friday and it was finally here. She rushed to school extra early hoping to find her and Alex's name posted on the bulletin for musical call backs. She rushed out of the house after putting on her green and white t-shirt and a white skirt. She didn't even stop to grab her usual breakfast of Wheaties and a grapefruit.
The door of her house slammed as she ran down the sidewalk almost stumbling on rocks on her way to school. When she arrived, there was almost no one there. Even Alex hadn't shown up. Still, she rushed to the bulletin board and found that the results had not yet been posted.
The only thing on the board were flyers for homecoming. It was in a few short weeks and was because of the big away basketball game. Before she could think about it much longer she saw Alex and motioned for him to come over to her. Just then, a door open and shut and out walked a pudgy overweight woman with a deep purple blouse and matching hideous skirt with a tight bun and a clipboard began walking to the board as well. Behind her were the one and only, Sharpay and Ryan.
Did they make it?? Hmm… Guess we'll have to find out. Home coming should be fun, too!
