Chapter 29
"He proposed!?"
"If you ask one more time..."
"Okay, okay."
Gloria had come over to Gabi's house since Ryan Jr was hanging out with Trevor and Gloria wanted to see Gabi.
Gabi had told Gloria everything.
How Troy had proposed...
And Gabi had said "no"
"I can't believe you refused," Gloria said. "He DID apologize."
"I know, but he just hurt me so badly," Gabi said.
Gloria sighed. "Oh, Gabs, that was years ago."
Gabi crossed her arms and looked away.
She STILL had the proposal stuck in her head...
"Will you forgive me for my mistakes and marry me?" Troy asked.
Gabi stared at the ring.
"No," she said. And she didn't regret it.
Until she saw Troy's face.
"Please?' he begged. He sat next to her. "Please, Gabs, look if this is about what happened during college..."
Gabi said, "You hurt me, Troy. You blew my trust. You expect me to just forget that?"
"It was ten years ago," Troy said pleadingly. "I've changed!"
Gabi started crying. Troy took her hand. "Please, Gabs, I want to live my life with you. Please!"
Gabi hated to see Troy like this, but she wasn't giving in...
"No," Gabi said.
Troy sighed and took her home. He made sure not to let her out until they kissed...
"And you let him kiss you?" Gloria exclaimed.
Gabi glared at her. Gloria stepped back with her hands up in the air.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The two girls looked at each other before Gloria went to open the door.
"No one's here...but there's an envelope."
Gabi grabbed the envelope. There was no return address on it.
She opened it up and pulled out a note. She screamed and let it fall out of her hands.
"What's wrong?" Gloria asked, picking up the letter. She looked at it and dropped it with fear.
On the note it read:
I'M GONNA KILL YOU, GABRIELLA!
YOU'RE GONNA PAY 4 WHAT U DID!
DON'T WORRY. THE KIDS WILL BE SAFE WITH ME.
"Is someone out to get you?" Gloria asked.
Gabi trembled. Then something caught her eye...on the paper.
It was glitter.
Sharpay had sent the note.
