Chapter 21- You're The One That I Want
By the end of the day, a large amount of stares and talks about Gabriella was going through the school. Not only about making cheerleader captain...but for Gabriella starring the lead role in the play...and with East High's already famous Troy Bolton.
Gabriella felt weird having tons of people staring at her. Sure...she wanted to fit in...but this was kind of strange...in less than two day at East High...you could go from making the cheerleading squad, starring the lead role in the school play...still be smart...and have so much people stare at you like you're some type of amazing god or someone who everyone wants to be.
It was a weird feeling Gabriella had to admit.
Gabriella sighed as she walked past another group of people looking and whispering about her. "I wonder if Troy ever felt this way..." Gabriella thought.
Gabriella shook her head and smiled at the thought of lunch time.
Flashback:
"Hey girls!" Sharpay said grinning and walking over to their lunch table. "I know you all haven't forgotten about the school's play practices during lunch periods."
Gabriella's and Taylor's eyes widened as Sharpay took the two friend's arms and starting to drag them in the direction of the auditorium.
"You think the guys are going to remember?" Kelsi asked.
"Sure..." Sharpay said smiling.
Passing by the jock's lunch table, Sharpay yelled at them, "Practice lunch periods boys! Detention if not there!"
The boys looked at each other and grunted. They all got up and followed the girls out of the cafeteria.
The school looked confused at the sudden disappearance of the jocks leaving with the nerds. They decided to check what's going on. Off to the auditorium everyone went.
The group of Gabriella, Sharpay, Taylor, Kelsi, Ryan, Troy, Chad, Jason, and Zeke reached the auditorium just in time for Ms. Darbus not to assign them detention.
"Well it it nice of you all to show up for our theater...but I wanted to just give Troy and Gabriella a shot to star in their ending duet, "You're the one that I want!" Ms. Darbus said eyes shining.
Before Gabriella or Troy could protest, Ms. Darbus handed them their lyrics to sing.
Gabriella and Troy slowly walked up on the stage together just as the gym started to fill with people. "What?!" the two asked in disbelief.
"It seems as we have an audience." Ms. Darbus smiled brightly. "Ms. Montez...begin!"
Gabriella looked at the people in the stage and sighed nervously as she began.
(Sandy:Gabriella):
Tell me about it stud!
Troy grinned at the sound of Gabriella's nervousity. Well, it must be even more awkward to singing in front of a whole bunch of people...Troy realized it was his line and he responded.
(Danny: Troy):
I got chills.
They're multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power
you're supplyin',
it's electrifyin'!
Gabriella couldn't help but grin at how good Troy played Danny. He was amazing.
(Sandy:Gabriella):
You better shape up,
'cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true.
(Danny: Troy):
Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do.
Gabriella and Troy looked at each other for a moment before combing their voices into the perfect harmony and melody.
(Danny and Sandy:Troy and Gabriella):
You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want), o,o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want want), o,o, ooooo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.
The school gasped at how suprisingly good the two sang together. They had to admit that Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez looked good together...they're now in the same clique...and they sang good together...they're pefect right?
(Sandy:Gabriella):
If you're filled
with affection
you're too shy to convey,
meditate in my direction.
Feel your way.
(Danny: Troy):
I better shape up,
'cause you need a man
Troy grinned at Gabriella and winked.
(Sandy:Gabriella):
I need a man
who can keep me satisfied.
(Danny: Troy):
I better shape up
if I'm gonna prove
(Sandy:Gabriella):
You better prove
that my faith is justified.
Gabriella shook her head in Troy's direction and flashed him a big smile.
(Danny: Troy):
Are you sure?
(Danny and Sandy:Troy and Gabriella):
Yes, I'm sure down deep inside.
You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o, o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want),o, o, oo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.
You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o, o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want),o, o, oo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.
You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o, o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want),o, o, oo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.
Gabriella and Troy looked into each other's eyes before grinning brightly and looking at the audience who was clapping very loudly.
"Gabi...I..." Troy said looking at Gabriella.
"Don't need to waste your breath Troy...I'll get out of your way." Gabriella said sighing knowing that her dream singing like this...was just a fake kind of reality..Gabriella walked off stage and back towards the girls.
"Bravo...Brava!" Ms. Darbus said clapping her hands together.
