Episode 21 – In or Not?

I walked into school Monday morning in my cheerleading uniform ... it's the first day back after Nationals.

"Hey girlie!" Shar grinned linking her arm through mine "I've missed you"

"I missed you too Shar" I giggled.

"What's with the uniform, season is over?"

"It was a stupid bet to see who got the more cheers on our mash-ups" I rolled my eyes and opened my locker.

"It wasn't a stupid bet" Troy closed his locker and leant against it.

"So, the guys won then?" Shar asked.

"Nope, we tied" I grinned putting my bag in and looked at Troy "Right Hot-Shot?"

He looked at me "Can you stop with that name, please?"

"You know the deal" I closed my locker "And if you complain, I'll tell Brooke that you love the name and keep calling you it"

"Now I hate this bet" He groaned standing up straight and walked off.

"What was the guy's side of this bet?" Shar looked at me.

"We can call them these nicknames and if they complain, we'll tell Brooke" I giggled as my phone rang, I looked at it "Speaking of my best friend"

"I'll meet you in homeroom" She smiled and walked off.

I answered "Hey Tigger"

"Gabs! Guess what!"

"What?" I asked walking towards homeroom.

She squealed "I got into NYU!"

"You're moving to New York?" I frowned ... I'm gonna lose my best friend.

"C'mon Bugs, be happy"

"I am Tigs but I'm gonna miss you" I sighed walking in the room and towards my seat.

"You'll see me this summer and then on holidays"

I sat down "Have you told Luc?"

"I can't, it was hard enough to tell you and telling Luc will be harder"

I looked up as the door opened and Darbus walked in "I gotta go, class is starting"

"Laters Bugs" Then she hung up.

"Good Morning Seniors" Darbus smiled.

I sighed sitting down at our table at lunch ... I haven't been able to focus in class since Brooke told me about NYU.

"Alright girl" Blair sat next to me "What's up?"

"Nothing" I looked at her "Why would anything be wrong?"

"Because you're not your normal bubbly self" Chad grinned then yelped "Oww"

"Shut the hell up Chad" Tay snapped and looked at me "You okay?"

"I'm fine" I giggled "Just recovering from New York"

"Hell no" We looked up to Troy walking over his phone glued to his ear "I'm not asking" He sat down between Shar and Chad "Finn, we have 2 weeks left of school and this bet will be over" He rolled his eyes "Fine, hang on" he looked at me "Finn wants to cancel this bet"

I put my hand out and he put his phone init "Hey Frankenteen"

"Please, can we cancel it because Sam is getting annoyed and Puck nearly broke his hand by punching a locker"

"Is this just about the names or is it because you're jealous about Rachel getting the attention"

"I do not get jealous Montez" He snapped.

I giggled "Sure you don't Hudson but we're not cancelling the bet and that's final"

"Whatever, have you spoken to Brooke?"

My smile dropped "She told you?"

"She rang the girls and Rach was gonna call you but she knew you would be upset which is why no one has rang"

"I'll speak to you soon" I hung up before he could answer and passed it back to Troy.

"You okay Gabs?" Nate asked.

I nodded standing up and walked out.

I walked into the cheer gym dropping my bag near the door and sat on the floor.

"Gabriella?" I looked up to see the Coach.

"Sorry Coach but I had no classes so I came here"

"Its fine" She smiled walking over "I was gonna find you to give you this" She passed me a parcel "Congratulations" The she walked off.

I looked at the stamp which happened to the Duke University one.

"Hey" I jumped when I saw Troy sitting next to me.

"Scare me next time" I punched him in the arm.

"Sorry" He chuckled "What's the parcel?"

"It's from Duke" I looked at him "It's either good or bad news"

"Well open it then"

I took a deep breath before opening it and pulled out the stuff which included the Blue Devil cheer uniform. I looked at the letter and started reading it:

Dear Miss Montez,

Congratulations, you have got a full scholarship as a Blue Devil Cheerleader.

See you in August

Duke University board

"I got the scholarship" I got up "I'm gonna be a Blue Devil"

"Well" Troy stood up then I noticed his hoodie which was a Duke one "So did I" He smiled.

I squealed and jumped into his arms "This is the best news I've had all day"

He looked at me "What you do mean?"

"Brooke got into NYU" I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder "I don't know to feel about it"

He rubbed my back and kissed my head "She's your best friend who you barely see because of the distance"

"And now she's moving to New York and that distance will still be there"

"Let's go to Tree Hill now"

"We can't, what about Prom and graduation?"

"Prom always sucks and they can send us our diplomas"

I looked at him "You're being serious"

"Of course" He grinned.

I grabbed my stuff and walked over to the door grabbing my bag "We have class"

"I don't know we have to go to them since finales are over"

"Because if we don't, we can't graduate" I giggled looping my arm through his as we walked down the hall.

"It sucks"

I sat at the back in English, Mr Simms was asleep in his seat and everyone were either listening to music or writing in yearbooks.

Kelly turned in her seat "This is so boring"

"Tell me about it" I sighed pulling out my yearbook of my bag and handed it to her "Sign it?"

"As long as you sign mine" She grinned passing me hers.

"Of course" I giggled opening it and started writing in it when my phone started ringing.

"No phones in class" Mr Simms mumbled then snored.

I looked at the screen before answering it "Luc, can I phone you back, I'm in class"

"Gabs ..." ... Has he been crying?

"Luc, what's wrong?" I looked up to see Kelly looking me confused.

"There's been an accident"

"Are you okay? Brooke? Nate? Haley? Charlie?" I took a deep breath "Lucas, tell me"

"It's Nate and Hales"

"I'm on my way"

"Gabs, stay where you are please"

"Bye Luc" I hung up as someone knocked on the door.

Mr Simms sat up straight and fixed his tie "Come in"

The door opened and Troy walked in "Sorry Mr Simms but Gabriella is excused from class, family emergency"

"Gabriella, you may go"

I jumped up grabbing my bag and walked out behind Troy "How did you know?"

"Brooke texted me" He held out his hand "We'll grab the stuff from our lockers and get straight on the road"

"Okay" I took his hand and ran down the hall.

I hope they are okay!
