Hey you guys, sorry for the late update. But I'm sick now and so I'm laying on my bed writing like crazy. And I've finished most of the story I just have to edit it some more. I hope you like this part. And thanks for all the reviews!!!


No One POV

The next day Taylor and Sharpay were over at Sharpay's house without Gabriella because they had some business to finish.

"Are you sure we should be doing this," Taylor asked. "It doesn't seem right."

"It's not like we're pretending to be her. I couldn't help but notice it while I was in her room. And she was there so I wasn't snooping."

"Okay, let's do this and hey, maybe this will help her," Taylor said bending down and watching Sharpay go to work.

Troy POV

I was sitting playing pinball on my computer when a little beep popped up. My mom told me I could go out but there was nothing to do. I clicked on the little email icon guessing that was where it came from. Who the heck is Pampered Princess?

From: PamperedPrincess

To: Bballdude1414

Hi Troy, I'm sure you're wondering who this is. It's Sharpay and Taylor, Gabi's friends? Hopefully you remember us. We were hanging out with her and found out that she is coming up to visit you. We've got two things to tell you which do you want first the bad, or what could be considered good or bad. Well you don't have the choice we do and we choose bad news first. (Taylor made me do this. She doesn't want to make you all happy and then crush you, for some weird reason.)

Bad News

If you hurt Gabi in any way not only will the guys come we will too. And yes we know we already warned you at Christmas but this is just a little reminder. Also if anything happens even if you didn't cause it and you don't know who did then you will be the one we will blame.

Good or Bad news (We think its good news)

Gabi likes you, she told us when we read your last email to her. Hopefully this helps because it's kind of obvious from the pictures that you like her too. Also, she has a lot of guys asking her out but she never says yes so if she says that she doesn't, she does. Most of them are either jocks, drama club people or smart people like Taylor. Have a good weekend!

Oh and don't tell Gabi about this. She doesn't know we have your email.

Taylor and Sharpay

I sat back in my bed not knowing what to think. I knew I wasn't going to hurt her and I think they knew that too but she likes me? I never thought that would happen. She likes me, she likes me. I started mumbling that sentence out loud.

"She likes me!" I yelled once I figured out that I liked her back which took a while.

"Who likes you," my mom asked leaning on the doorway.

"No one," I said.

"Who likes you. I want to meet this girl if she makes you scream to yourself," She said. "Just tell me, I'm not gonna laugh or anything."

"Fine, it's Gabi. Her friends emailed me and told me that she likes me. They also threatened me again but that doesn't matter. She likes me."

"I've never seen you get so worked up about something like this before. From what your father tells me every single girl in that school adores you. I'm glad you chose Gabriella though. She's a good girl," my mom said patting my back and walking out of my room.

No the question is what to do with the information. I know that I'm asking her out for sure. She's amazing, but how? I couldn't ask anyone at school, they'd be all over me. Parents? To embarrassing. Oh well, I'll figure it out by myself.

A Week Later, Gabi POV

I had left an hour ago and only had a little ways to go before getting to his house. All of my friends made this big deal about me going out on my own for the weekend so it took a little longer to get out than thought.

I saw the sign telling me that I entered Troy's town so I grabbed my phone and called him knowing he would be out of school.

"Hello?"

"Hey Troy. Look I'm really sorry but my exam schedule got switched around so I can't come today," I said driving down his street.

"Really," He said sadly. "Well can you come down tomorrow afternoon?"

"Maybe but I'm not sure because my parents are going to want me to stay back if it's only for those three days," I said. His house was a nice brick house. The Bolton's had sent me a key and told me where Troy's room was. I entered the house leaving my stuff in my car and walked up the stairs.

"Are you sure?" I didn't answer because I was standing outside his door. It was already cracked so I didn't have to worry about making that much noise. "Ella? Are you there?" I snuck through the door and stood behind him.

"I'm right here," I said. He turned around and smiled.

"Ella! That was mean," He said.

"So, it as funny and from what your parents tell me you need to relax a little bit." He groaned as I said that. "Don't groan. Well what test do you have tomorrow?"

"I'm groaned because my best friend has been talking to my parents about me. And tomorrow I have the dreaded drama test which is supposed to me like really hard."

"Yours will not be half as hard as mine. My teacher doesn't teach us anything but she rants about cell phones. Remember me telling you about her? The one who dresses like she's in the sixties, or at least the colors." He nodded with a wide smile on his face.

"She sounds funny. How was your exam?" He asked grinning. I groaned and fell back on his bed. "That bad?" I nodded. "Well now what was on your test?"

"It had some stuff about Shakespeare and then the terms that we were supposed to know. Does your school have a website?" I asked sitting up but he was standing right in front of me so I almost ran into his abs, which probably would have hurt.

"Yeah, it's under my favorites," He said pointing to his computer. I sat down and logged on.

"You have a sister school?" I asked.

"I do?" I nodded and clicked on the link that talked about the sister school. The page popped up. "Who is it?"

"It's my school," I said looking at the pictures. At the top of the page there was my school name.

"Really?" I nodded again and clicked on pictures. A bunch of different categories came up. I just picked drama and more pictures came on the screen. There were tons of Sharpay and Ryan all over the place. "Is that you?"

"No, I don't think it is. Which play is this?" I asked myself looking down at the caption, sure enough it had the names in it too. "Okay maybe it is me. Let's go back," I said clicking the back button.

"No, it was cute. I want to try and find some more!" Troy sounded like a little boy on his birthday but I didn't stop him as he basically picked me up and sat me back down again on his lap after sitting down.

"No, there are no more pictures of me, I think," I said trying to cover the screen.

"Yes there is. I still remember that you told me you had been in most of the plays because of Sharpay and Kelsi and Ryan and then you were at the basketball because you friends are the star players so there must me some more. Oh and then there's the smart people team," He said.

"The smart people team?" I asked him as he scrolled down printing all of the ones with me in them which proved to be a lot of them.

"Yes, the smart people team. Now onto the basketball team," He said. I rolled my eyes and sat back watching him print off picture after picture. "Now I'm done," He said.

"My turn, if our schools are related, I guess then some of the exams should be the same. And my teacher was nice enough to put a study list on my website because she must have known we didn't actually learn anything that wasn't about cell phones and how rude they are." He laughed as I printed off the what to study sheet. "Where's Cody," I asked.

"He should be getting home any minute now. Since he's in afternoon kindergarten. I miss those days, when we would only have to go to school for half a day and learn about shapes and colors."

"I know you do because that's the year that you brought home all A's," I said patting him on the head. He pouted but I just walked out and waited downstairs for Cody to come home.

"That's it! I pout and you leave me to go downstairs and wait for my brother to come home," He called after me.

"Pretty much," I said sitting on the stairs. "What'd you want me to do?"

"I don't know. You're a big meanie," He said sitting next to me.

"Meanie? That's all you can come up with," I asked.

"No it's all that I want to call you knowing that if I called you anything else I would get in trouble," He said. Jack walked out of his office and saw me.

"How was the drive," He asked. "I didn't hear you come in." I hugged him and sat back down.

"It was great. I actually tricked your son over there by telling him that I wasn't coming. He even believed me," I said smiling. He laughed and shook his head at his now pouting again son.

"Don't pout you're face will stay that way," He said leaving up on the steps.

"I think I'm losing my cuteness. No one falls for the pout anymore," Troy whined.

"Maybe not all of it. It was pretty hard to just up and leave you back in that room," I said. "Plus the girls are still chasing you aren't they?" I asked.

"Yeah, sadly. How'd you know? Or did you just guess?"

"I could have guessed but the sign on your back as a dead give away," I said pulling the sign off. He saw it and groaned. It said 'Call me!' And then a number.

"I can't believe that I didn't notice that," He said crumpling it up and throwing it at the trashcan making it in perfectly. "What about you, any guys coming you're way?" He asked.


Not sure why I ended it here but I did and I promise that I'll update sooner. Please review!
