"What the hell do you want now Evans?"Troy yelled.Ryan looked up.
" 5 more minutes."Troy scowled. He was really not in the mood.

"Do you always have to yell?"
"What?"Troy said.Who the hell was he talking to?
"I mean i'm right here."
"What do you want!"Troy yelled again.His patience was wearing thin. Ryan stood up straighter. This time he would not back down.Troy didn't scare him anymore. All those talks and threats meant absolutely nothing now. Troy wouldn't't hurt Gabriella if he refused to end their friendship, there was no way he would.He cared way too much to do that.So why didn't Ryan realize that before?Because he was too distracted, that's why.
"You know, for the past month, I have to deal with all your bullshit and i'm tired of it."
"What did you say to me-----"
"Shut up i'm talking!!"Ryan yelled.Troy was pulled back.Ryan had never spoken like this.
"You know what? About a month ago, I was this stupid, pushover, scared kid who did exactly what people told me to do.And for some reason I actually thought I would stay away from Gabriella.And now i'm saying, what the hell was I thinking."
"I'm not interested in you self evaluations."
"Oh cut the crap Troy we all know why you did exactly what you did!Gabriella's only my best friend and I know you know that.All you want to do is try all you can to separate us so you're in the picture more often. We both know you would never hurt Gabriella. And I bet you're just thinking what the hell, who is he talking to, well guess what!!!I've actually talked to someone in the same position! He did the same exact thing and lost his girlfriend. So I really don't care what the hell you say Troy Bolton.Because tomorrow i'm headed straight to Gabriella's locker and apologizing for everything. And if you don't agree, I don't give a dam. But really, if this is what you have to do to get what you want, then I feel sorry for you."At that Ryan did the only thing he thought was best.He walked away. Troy stood there motionless, but Ryan didn't feel like waiting to hear his answer. He continued the path up to his mansion not bothering to look back. When Ryan was out of sight, Troy shook his head and walked into his house. Once he had taken off his shoes and walked into his room, Troy had barely changed into pajamas when his phone rang. Already knowing who it was, Troy immediately picked up.
"Hey you."
"It takes you that long to get you in your house?"Troy smiled and lay on his bed.
"I'm sorry."
"What wrong? You sound dejected."
"Um, nothing I just am annoyed at the amount of homework I have left."He lied, he had finished him homework Saturday evening but what could he say? He couldn't talk about Ryan!
"Homework? What did I tell you about procrastinating Troy?"
"Yeah I know, I only have one assignment and it's to finish like 5 more math problems so shush."
"Well I guess it's not that bad then."
"Yeah."
"Okay but guess what."
"What?"
"I'm so lonely Troy!"
"What do you want me to do about that?"
"Keep me company."
"I wish I could."
"No but seriously I hate it when she does this. I just get alone and maybe a little scared. You know that feeling?"
"Uh... no?"
"What?"
"I don't but I'm sorry you have to be alone by yourself. I'd sneak over but you know my dad."
"Yeah unfortunately."
"I know."
"Well I should probably get some sleep.I don't want to wake up with bags."Troy laughed.
"Okay."
"Night! I love you." Troy was silent. Immediately his fight with Ryan flashed through his mind.Was everything that he had said true? Or was he just faking it all?
"Troy?"Troy snapped back into reality."I love you too."
"Bye!"Gabriella hung up. Troy groaned as his head hit the pillow. This was all confusing. He thought he had everything down packed and for the last month, things were pretty much going well, maybe even great.What was going to happen tomorrow when he walked into school. He almost completely believed Ryan would do what he said he would. How was he supposed to be able to deal with this if that happened?xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Gabriella went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She really was tired after today. After she rinsed her mouth and walked back into her room, Gabriella's phone beeped. 1 missed call. Gabriella opened her phone, it was from Taylor. Immediately she called back.After one ring Taylor picked up. "Hey Gabbs!"
"Hey! You called?"
"Yeah, what's up? Did you have a good time today?"
"Yes! Actually I had a great time today. Seriously nothing went wrong well until now."
"What happened now?"
"He left."Gabriella whined.
"Oh Gabbs."
"What? I already miss him. What about you and Chad?"Even though she couldn't see it, Gabriella could tell Taylor was blushing."Well?"
"Um, fine."
"Tay."
"Okay it was amazing! We did everything possible, well except the amusement park."
"Uh? Okay!So how do you think Shar and Zeek are doing?"
"Girl do you have to ask? Did you see how they let's say interacted on Saturday?"
"Yeah you're right I bet there doing something crazy now."
"Well this is Sharpay we're talking about so of course they'll be doing something crazy."
"Yeah. God i'm sooooo tired, but i'm so lonely!!!!!"
"Why don't you go and call Troy or something?"
"I already did and he has to finish his Math homework, like five problems I think.But me being stupid said I was tired and right now i'm not tired at all!"
"Okay then call him back."
"Oh yeah! Great idea catch you tomorrow!"
"Okay bye."
"Bye!"Gabriella hung up and got Troy on speed dial...
"I thought you were going to sleep?"
"I can't sleep."
"Why not?"
"I don't know ask my body."
"Okay put it on the phone."
"Troy!"Troy laughed.
"Okay."Gabriella rested her head on the pillow."But I might fall asleep on you though. Sorry!"
"It's okay."
"Good."
"Hey Gabby?"
"Yeah."
"You know I love you right?"
"Of course.I love you too."Gabriella answered back a bit confused.
"Why?"
"There's something I need to tell you."
"What? What's wrong."Troy took in a deep breath fighting himself on whether to tell her the truth or not. Oh man! What's she gonna say if I tell her? Or worse, what's she gonna say if I don't? Troy's thought's were interrupted by Gabriella.
"Troy? You still there?"
"Yeah I am."
"Okay. What's the matter?"
"Uh... I actually have more homework left than I expected." Troy mentally cursed himself.
"That's what you wanted to tell me?"
"Yep."
"And why did we have to be dramatic about it?"
"Because i like dramatic."
"Uh? Okay?"
"Listen Gabby I have to go to finish all that homework. Okay."
"Yeah okay. I am feeling a bit tired today after all."
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Okay. I love you!"
"Love you too."
"Bye!"Troy hung up. He hated to admit it but Ryan was right. If he really did love Gabriella that much he wouldn't be hurting her like this. Right now he felt like a complete jerk. Great job Bolton. Now you have two people to apologize to.
