Chapter 21
"Michael isn't half bad right?" Sharpay questioned. "I mean he's a blondie and I usually don't go for blonde but he's so mature and so handsome and charming and..he's got everything really." Sharpay gushed. Gabriella rolled her eyes. "who's Michael?" Troy asked. "the so sexy bartender from last night."
"was he?" Troy asked Gabriella. Again, Gabriella rolled her eyes. "yes!" Sharpay squealed. "he's also twice our age maybe." Gabriella reminded. "boo-hoo, not that old. he did say mid-twenties and that's less than half our age."
"still, you're only 17. He could go to jail because of you." Sharpay scoffed. "oh come on, it's not like I would have sex with him. don't get me wrong, I would if he was ever up for it. which I guess he wouldn't. but it's technically no one's business."
"I say go for it and stop bothering me with Michael." Gabriella huffed. "what about poor little Zeke?" Troy brought up. "Not my problem. Zeke can really fuck off and move on to other girls."
"kinda harsh, don't you think? I mean, he is trying to win you back." Troy explained. "after he shagged the whole cheerleader team and got involved with piggy girl Penelope." Troy chuckled. "tell me why again you hate her?"
"In the seventh grade we liked the same guy. but the guy liked me back and not Penelope. So she was jealous and started to meddle in my relationship with the guy and stirring up mean and bad things about me. the guy thought I was cheating so he broke it off with me. but right after he moved away. So I never got the chance to make it right. I really did like that guy, you know. he was my fucking first love." Troy nodded. "well, it's your life."
"thanks for pointing that out, in case I end up banging the bartender." Sharpay smirked as she walked off. Gabriella leaned against the locker. "you had to encourage her." Troy chuckled as he leaned closer. "I did precisely nothing." Troy tilted his head lightly and pressed his lips against Gabriella's. Kissing her fiercely and passionately.
"okay, break it off lovebirds," Chad gagged as he walked up with Zeke and Mike. Troy groaned inwardly as he rolled his eyes. "you get cross-eyed if you do that." Zeke pointed out. "fuck off." Troy said, clearly annoyed.
"ooh, did we just ruin your kissy-kissy moment?" Chad teased laughing. Troy swiftly punched his arm. "ouch, that hurts dude." Troy lips quirked into a small smile. "then it's all good." he threw his hand around Gabriella's neck and started walking away. "oh Zeke, if you ever want to get Sharpay back, try harder dude. She's ain't giving in, I'll tell you that." Troy said as he looked over his shoulder once as he kept walking away.
"That sucks, dude." Mike said as he patted his shoulder before walking off. "oh come on Zeke. Who needs a girlfriend? I don't and look at how awesome my life is." Taylor scoffed from behind them. "as far as I can see it, you look desperate and lonely since almost everyone of your friends got a girlfriend and you don't. which to my surprise isn't something that I didn't know. you're not capable of being in a relationship. If so, you wouldn't last 2 weeks."
Chad raised an eyebrow. "you wanna bet?" Taylor shook her head. "I'm not gonna bet so you would date a girl and dump her after 2 weeks. I'm not heartless."
"why don't you guys date for 2 weeks and see if Danforth lasts?" Zeke suggested. "I rather not." Taylor sneered. "Scared?" Chad teased. "okay, I'll do it. 2 weeks."
:"oh wait, what happened to Andrew? My basketball mate?" Chad grinned teasingly. "I don't see how that is your business. Well, maybe because it's not." Zeke chuckled. "see you guys around. Oh I put 5 bucks on McKessie."
"Dude!" Chad scorned. "Chad you're not boyfriend material. You're to self-absorb." Zeke explained and walked off shaking his head chuckling. "so much for being a friend." Chad said sarcastically.
"he's being a good friend, actually. He's telling the truth, you know." Taylor said grinning. "I'm so gonna wipe that smugly grin of your face when I win this bet."
"you're on." Taylor challenged. "it's on."

"Gabs, I was wondering if you and Troy would go on a double date-"
"no." Troy immediately interrupted Kelsi. "no way in hell that I would go on a double date."
"I'm not a big fan of double dating but if you really want, I wouldn't mind." Gabriella said after taking a sip. " it's not a big deal. Was just a spontaneous suggestion." Kelsi shrugged. "I really don't mind, Kels. Just say so and Troy and I will go."
"excuse me?" Troy asked with an raised eyebrow. "you'll go." Gabriella scorned at Troy, glaring. "no it's fine. Jason wasn't also a big fan when I brought it up once."
"How do you seduce an older man?" Sharpay asked out of the blue. Everyone groaned. "what?" Taylor sighed. "Shar, drop it. you'll fail miserably."
"why that?" Sharpay asked confused. "he's far too mature for you." Kelsi said. "and why is that?"
"wiser, more experienced, has a brain, common sense and know when to draw the line." Taylor said. "I don't think he'll go for the younger types, Shar. Harmless flirting is okay but I really think he has a boundary when it comes to things like this." Gabriella stated. Sharpay frowned and sulked. "but he's so great."
"I know, I know." Taylor admitted. "I would also go for much matured guys. who wouldn't?" Taylor also sulked. "I'm sure Gabriella wouldn't." Troy claimed. "have you forgotten Jordan?" Sharpay asked smirking.
Troy's jaw clenched. "clearly he didn't." Mike chuckled. Gabriella scooted closer to him and rested her arm on his shoulder as she giggled softly. "don't let them get to you babe."
"I won't." his hand landed on her inner thigh and gently moved his hand up and down her thigh. "are you trying to feel me up?" Gabriella whispered harshly in his ear. "Is it working?" he whispered back in a husky tone.
"what do you think, asshole." Gabriella scoffed whispering. He just laughed as he nipped at her earlobe. "damn, I want you right now." he whispered, breathing rapidly.
"meet me in the janitor closet." Gabriella whispered. "I'm going to the toilet." Gabriella stood up and left as fast as she could before any of the girls would volunteer to come along.
