"I wanna be Allie." Sharpay cried, as all the girl's sat around the living room. She sniffled and whipped away her tears.
"I know. Noah, when will you find me?" Taylor sobbed.
"How come when Allie and Noah sleep together, they're not yelling at each other?" Gabriella sniffled.
"Because they know that they love each other." Kelsi wept.
Gabriella rolled her eyes and licked her vanilla ice cream covered spoon. "Let's just face it, we'll never have a love like Allie and Noah." she said.
"Ugh!" Sharpay groaned.
They all turned to the door when someone walked in.
Gabriella quickly turned away when Troy walked in.
"Troy, it's 1:30 in the morning! Where have you been? I had to tell your parent's that you were stuck in traffic like 18 times!" Sharpay yelled.
He rolled his eyes. "Shar, don't start. I'm here now, so relax." he sighed, putting his jacket on the coat rack.
"Whatev. Now where were you?" she asked.
"Why do you care?" he asked. He didn't notice a silent Gabriella, who was sitting in the corner of the couch.
"Uh, are you the one who had to entertain your parent's?" Sharpay yelled. When he didn't answer she smiled victoriously. "Hm, didn't think so. Now where were you?"
"I was at Candice's house." he answered.
Gabriella cursed herself silently when she dropped her spoon.
Confusion washed over Troy's face. He looked over the couch to see Gabriella, Taylor and Kelsi trying to creep down and hide. He sighed and laughed sarcastically. "Haha, what is this listen to people's conversations's day?" he asked.
The three sat up and stood there nervously.
"Don't pay attention to them! What the hell were you doing at Candice's all night?" Sharpay asked.
Troy glanced at a nervously looking Gabriella from the corner of his eye and chewed on the inside of his cheek. "We talked." he said.
"You slept with her didn't you? You didn't tell her about you having sex with Gabriella?" Sharpay yelled.
He shrugged. "There's nothing to tell. Me and Gabriella both agreed that having sex together was a complete mistake."
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Still! You still haven't grown the balls to tell the girl who you supposedly like that you slept with her enemy?"
"Shar, it's ok. I'm cool with it. Troy's right, we did saw that." Gabriella said, softly. "I'm gonna go to bed, though." She waved and sauntered up the stairs.
"You are so lucky Bolton." Sharpay warned.
Taylor and Kelsi glared at him and went upstairs.
He sighed and fell back onto the couch.
-----
"Oh, if it isn't cheating Bolton." Sharpay said, spreading jam over her bagel.
Troy rolled his eyes and took a seat at the table. "I didn't cheat Sharpay."
She scoffed. "Don't talk BS to me Troy. Whether or not, having a quickie is percepted as cheating in my book. And you know what I don't get. Why the hell would you cheat on the girl who we all know you can't stand with the girl you're totally in love with and then go back to the girl who you can't stand." She paused for a moment, to think. "I'll never get you Troy Bolton. You're so damn stubborn."
"Shar, why must you always give me lectures?" he asked.
"Because I'm your friend. I'm doing what's right. Hell, I'm saying all the right things. Now listen. You either tell Candice about you and Gabriella, or I will." she warned.
"No! You only want to tell her so that me and Gabriella will get back together again." he said, angrily.
"Troy, you don't even like Candice! Do you even notice the look you give when you see her or anything comes up about her good or bad. Just face it, the only reason you're going out with Candice is because you don't think Gabriella loves you and that crushes you. I'm not a fucking jackass Troy! I acted like I didn't see you listening at the club those nights ago when Gabriella said that nothing would ever happen between you two. You looked hurt and sad. You love her! You do! Why are you so scared to admit it?"
He shook his head and got up from the table.
She stood in front of him. "Why Troy?" she asked.
"God dammit Sharpay! Don't you get it? Gabriella doesn't love me! I have tried to find the guts to tell her how much I love her, but then everytime I hear her telling you or someone else that she doesn't love me. Why the fuck do you think I kissed her yesterday? I did it because I wanted her so bad. When we're fighting it makes me think about us in high school, how we'd always bitch and nag at each other. When Candice came along, I was sad. Like you said, I heard Gabriella saying that we'd never work. That crushed my heart. I just needed someone there to make me feel better. When I found out about Kayla. In a way, I was so happy. I thought that'd be another sign that me and Gabriella were supposed to be together, but look at us now." He shook passed a shocked Sharpay and walked out the door.
"Hey, what was all the yelling down here?" A groggy Gabriella asked, coming down the stairs.
"Nothing." Sharpay lied, plastering a fake smile on her face.
-----
"What the fuck? I have 4 children?" Chad said, as everyone excluding Troy sat around the dining table playing LIFE.
Gabriella laughed. "It's amazing how I have the best life out of all of you. I graduated college, got married, I work as a doctor and I have only 1 kid. Damn." she smiled.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Zeke, you have knocked me up too many times. We have 6 children."
"Well, what can I say? My downstairs is quite amazing." he said, proudly.
"Trust me, it's not." she muttered.
"Jason, we only have a dog." Kelsi cried.
Jason gasped. "I wanted a dog, remember? It's destiny!" he squealed.
"You're such a girl, you know that?"
He stuck his tongue out and wrapped an arm around the green eyed girl.
"Hello everyone." Troy smiled, walking into the house.
"Woah, did Troy just walk into a room happy? I am shocked, really." Ryan said.
Troy laughed lightly and sat next to Gabriella. "Why can't I be happy? After all I got courtside seat's for a Laker's game." he said holding up the tickets.
Chad's mouth dropped. "Oh snaps! Are those real?" he asked.
"Yes, they are. I went over to my parent's for a bit and my Dad said he wanted to give these to us guy's."
Jason let out a squeal, as did Zeke.
"Shut it." Sharpay snapped.
"Don't be jealous that I'm going to a Laker's game and your not." Zeke said, playfully.
She giggled. "I'm not baby." she said kissing him roughly.
"Ew, seriously, it's not fun seeing your sister play tongues with a guy." Ryan said, disgusted.
"Whatever." Sharpay muttered. She mouthed 'talk to her' to Troy and nodded toward Gabriella who was spinning the wheel on the game.
He rolled his eyes and nodded slightly. "So, Gabriella. How's life?" he asked, not knowing what to say.
The two were still awkward toward each other.
She smiled weakly at him. "Um, not much. Playing LIFE. You?" she laughed, moving her car over 3 spots.
He shrugged. "Uh, same. I got my car washed this morning." He mentally kicked himself at how dumb that was.
She laughed. "That's nice to know. Although your car, did need some cleaning no offense."
He gasped playfully. "My car, needed cleaning. Have you looked at your's lately?" he asked.
She stuck her tongue out at him and giggled.
I am good Sharpay thought.
2 HOURS LATER
"Oh my god, Troy stop!" Gabriella yelled as he chased her around the frontyard with the water hose.
"Aw, come on Gabs, we're washing your car." he laughed.
The gang watched from inside.
"Aw, they're flirting." Kelsi cooed.
"I know!" Sharpay squealed.
"Damn. Troy without a shirt on is hot. I never realized how gracious his body is." Taylor said, in aw.
"And we have another Troy, lover." Zeke said.
Gabriella screamed and ran to the other side of her car. "My shirt's white!" she gasped, noticing how her bra was shown clearly.
He laughed and threw her over his shoulder. "Damn, do you have any meat on you?" he asked, playfully.
"I do Pilates, I'll have you know and don't forget we have to go pick up Kayla a today. She's homesick as my cousin would say. Now put me down, I'm getting dizzy." she giggled.
"Ok and what's the magic word?" he sang, walking up and down the pavements.
"Please, Troysie?" she asked.
"Say, 'Troy Bolton is the hottest guy to ever walk this global warming earth'"
"I only speak the truth Troy." she teased.
"Oh really? Well you have now hurt my feeling's Montez." he said, setting her down.
"Whatever get's you to put me down." she laughed.
Their heads turned to the street as a skretch was heard.
"Candice." Troy breathed.
"Troysie!" Candice squealed. Her Burberry coat went to her knees while she wore red LV pumps.
"I'm gonna go inside." Gabriella muttered.
"No, stay here." Troy said.
She sighed and nodded.
"Hey, Troysie. I haven't seen you in like forever." Candice said.
"I just saw you earlier this morning." Troy said, confused.
"I know, but that's a long time." She turned to see a awkward looking Gabriella standing there. "Oh sorry bitch. I didn't notice you, 'cause normally you have some smartass comment, by now." she smirked.
"Well, she didn't say anything now Candice. So just leave it." Troy said.
Candice's mouth dropped. "You're sticking up for her?"
"I'm not sticking up for anyone, I just don't wanna hear anymore bitching from the two of you."
"Well, come on Troysie, we have to go shopping." Candice said, grabbing his hand.
"Oh, yeah shopping, I totally forgot." he laughed.
Gabriella's mouth dropped. "Troy, we have to go pick up Kayla in like an hour." she said.
He sighed and twirled out of Candice's grip. "Shit, I forgot. Just tell Kay, that I'll see her later."
"No, I'm not! You said, that you would come with me. Mind you that Kayla is your daughter!" she yelled. She grew angrier as she saw confusion was over his face. "Fuck it Troy. Do whatever the fuck you want." she yelled, walking back inside the house.
He sighed. "Shit." he muttered.
"She is such a spazz. Let's go Troy." Candice said getting in her silver Mercedes.
"I hate my fucking life." he muttered.
