Chapter 19

It was the day before the championship game and the girls were still refusing to talk to the guys. At lunch it was hard because Ryan, Troy, Gabriella and Annabelle were all finding it hard because the girls would want to do one thing but the boys wanted to another so by the Thursday they left them to it and the four of them sat together on their own normally in Troy's secret spot. Thursday was different though because Troy, Gabriella and Ryan all had to help Ms Darbus out during lunch so Annabelle decided to go sit with Connor who was sitting on his own.

"Hey, mind if I sit with you?" Annabelle asked as Connor shook his head.

"How come you're talking to me? I mean I was involved in Aaron's plans so shouldn't you hate me." Connor said looking down.

"Because you aren't a bad person and just because you were involved in Aaron's plans doesn't mean you wanted him to do it just like me but you were scared of what Aaron would do if you went against him." Annabelle told him as she placed her hand on his shoulder. "And I think I know how you can help me make it up to them." Annabelle started whispering her plan to Connor who nodded in agreement. "Ok so you go do your part and I'll do mine." The both stood up walking in opposite directions.

With Troy and Gabriella

Ryan and Ms Darbus had disappeared somewhere about 15 minutes ago, which left Troy and Gabriella there on their own. Gabriella had been very quiet all day and Troy was worried.

"Are you ok?" Troy asked as he moved closer to her. He saw tears rolling down her face. "Hey come on what's wrong?" Troy sat down next to her bringing her into a hug. She cried for a few minutes before regaining her composure.

"It's the anniversary of my dad's death and I had completely forgotten about it till I got to school." Troy didn't know what to say so he just held her tight before finding words.

"I'm sorry. Is there anything you want me to do?" He asked as she shook her head.

"No I just needed to let it all out because I've been bottling it all up for sometime now." He kissed her forehead as they heard the bell go. They walked out of the theatre running into the girls. They all headed to their class chatting as they walked.

"Hey wait up." Someone shouted from behind. Amber came running up to them with something in her hand. "Annabelle asked me to give you this letter." She handed one to Kelsi, Taylor and Sharpay. Gabriella was confused and so were the other girls. Amber pulled Troy and Gabriella behind as they started walking again. "Annabelle and Connor have come up with a plan to try and fix all their relationships. Meet me outside the gym after basketball practise tonight and I'll explain everything or Annabelle will." They walked into their room just before the late bell went.

4.30pm outside the gym

Gabriella was outside the gym waiting for practise to be over when she noticed Ryan and Annabelle walking towards her.

"Hey guys. So what are we doing here anyway?" Gabriella asked as Annabelle smiled.

"Amber and Connor are outside the other set of doors waiting for Chad, Zeke and Jason while we wait for the girls and when everyone leaves the gym we're going to tell them that Coach Bolton wanted to see them a lock them in there until they all figure things out." Annabelle explained as Gabriella smiled.

"Why the gym and all together?" Gabriella asked.

"Because 1 it would take too long to get them all together separately and the gym is the only place the boys will go." Annabelle told her as they saw the girls approach.

"Ok what are you doing here? I thought it was just us?" Taylor said as the gym doors opened. Troy walked out still in his basketball uniform.

"Gabi was waiting for Troy and we said we'd wait for her." Ryan quickly lied.

"My dad said to go in now." Troy spoke up as he opened the door for the girls. As soon as they were all in Troy shut the door quickly and locked it with the key he had borrowed from the janitor.

"Ok now what?" Ryan asked as Annabelle shrugged.

"We wait until they make up." The four sat down on the floor outside the door listening to what was happening. Being brave Ryan leaned down and kissed Annabelle catching off guard but she soon started kissing back as Gabriella nudged Troy rolling her eyes towards the two. Troy smiled as Gabriella leaned on him.

With Connor and Amber

Connor and Amber were standing in silence waiting for the other boys. Connor was still in his basketball kit because he rushed out to get everything ready.

"Ok why did coach want to talk to us again?" Chad asked as Connor shrugged.

"No idea but you better go in before he gets mad at you for being late and benches you." The three scrambled inside as Connor used the other key to lock the door.

"They really are idiots." Amber said as Connor laughed. Amber was bored so she did something surprising to both herself and Connor, she kissed him. After getting over the shock, Connor moved backwards so Amber was up against the wall as they kissed.

In the Gym

The girls walked in only to hear the door slammed shut behind them.

"Ok why do I get the feeling something is going on?" Kelsi said as she looked around the gym and saw no one else in there apart from the three girls.

"Maybe Coach is running late, lets go sit on the bleachers and if he's not here in a few minutes then we'll go." Taylor said as the three of them sat down. They heard a door open and Chad, Zeke and Jason walk in.

"What are you doing in here?" Sharpay angrily asked. The boys walked over to the girls in confusion.

"Connor and Amber said Coach wanted to see us after practise. How come you're in here? " Jason asked as Sharpay got mad.

"HOW CAN YOU BE HERE WHEN WE'RE HERE TO SEE COACH BOLTON? I'M STUCK IN A SMELLY GYM FOR NO REASON!" Sharpay shouted as Kelsi ran to the door banging.

"Not funny guys so open this door now or I'll make Ms Darbus put you in the musical and I'll set Sharpay on you." Kelsi threatened through the door as they heard Ryan answer.

"Kelsi Sharpay's my sister I know how to handle her and we both now Darbus wouldn't put any sports people in her musicale so your staying in there." Kelsi heard Gabriella and Annabelle giggle.

"Well nice to see where your loyalty is Gabi." Kelsi yelled as the others watched on in surprise at how this little person who is normally so quiet can be so harsh.

"My loyalty is to help my friends and that's exactly what I'm doing." Gabriella smartly replied.

"Well just so you know if you were a real friend you would open this door and respect my wishes." Kelsi screamed in anger. Sharpay and Taylor were taken back by her outburst, as too were the boys. Sharpay and Taylor carefully walked closer to Kelsi as she dropped to the floor crying. The boys walked over worried by what was happening.

"Kelsi are you ok?" Taylor said bending down next to her.

"No." Kelsi replied barely audible.

"What's wrong?" Sharpay said as she also bent down as the boys watched on.

"My life is a mess." Kelsi told them as Taylor gave Sharpay a confused look.

"Why?" Sharpay asked not sure what to say. Gabriella, Troy, Ryan, Annabelle, Connor and Amber had all come in unnoticed as they became worried by all the shouting then silence.

"I can't say." Jason decided to be bold and walked behind Kelsi and picked her up taking her away from everyone. He sat down with Kelsi in his lap holding her as she cried.

"Kelsi what's wrong?" He asked softly as all the others left but you wouldn't know it from Sharpay having a go at them for locking them all in.

"Everyone has forgotten me. I mean you and I haven't been talking and you haven't tried extra hard to get me to talk, my mom's pregnant so she and my dad are only interested in the baby. Gabriella is too caught up with Troy to notice. Taylor is always busy and all Sharpay wants to talk about is herself and I feel like no one wants me." She told him as he held her tighter.

"Kelsi, I'm always going to be here for you no matter what and I'm sorry for not trying harder but I promise if you forgive me I'll never ever forget you."

"Promise?" Kelsi asked as she looked at him.

"Promise." He leaned down and kissed her before the janitor walked in to see if they were all finished. They walked out to find everyone else had already left.

A/N: So Jason and Kelsi are back together as well as Ryan and Annabelle and Connor and Amber getting together. The next chapter is the last, which will see Chad and Taylor and Sharpay and Zeke all get back together then the epilogue. Please review. Thanks!
