A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating for a few days. I really have been busy and I haven't had any real quiet time to type another chapter. But here I am updating another chapter. I really am proud of this chapter, because it turned out how I wanted it.

Chapter 11 "Is our friendship strong enough to hold on?"

"Okay, now that we have everyone here. It's time to get everything straighten out." Ryan said. Everyone else just looked at him; do to the fact if this situation was ever going to get straitened out.

"Ryan what are you talking about?" Taylor asked, while everyone else were nodding their heads.

"Guys, don't act like nothings wrong. Were all in a fight and things need to be solved?" Ryan stated.

"Ryan we don't owe you anything. I'm leaving." Chad said, while getting up from his seat.

"CHAD SIT DOWN NOW!" Ryan screamed; surprising everyone and also scaring a poor Chad. Chad did as what he was told, obviously terrified to what Ryan would do next.

"People were going to figure this out whether you guys like it or not." Ryan said more calmly this time. "Now let's start with Troy and Gabriella. Gabriella why are you mad at Troy?" Ryan asked.

"I'm not mad at Troy. I just saw him kiss Ashley and I don't know I guess…… I guess I got jealous." Gabriella said nervously. Even though right now she really thought it wasn't a good time to tell Troy how she felt; she had no other choice. It was now or never.

For the first time this week, Troy's face lit up. Gabriella being jealous because he was with another girl couldn't have made Troy any happier.

"Okay, Troy why are you mad at Gabriella?" Ryan asked Troy the same question.

"Well, Sonny told me that he and Gabriella kissed in the library. I guess I got jealous too." Troy blurted out.

"WHAT!" Gabriella screamed. Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy. "I did not kiss him in the library. That….. that lying scum."

"So the only reason you guys are fighting is because of Sonny. Very interesting might I add." Ryan said.

"Now let's go to Taylor and Chad. Taylor, why are you and Chad fighting?"

"Chad broke up with me." Taylor said quietly, not wanting to retell the horrible moment.

"Chad why the HELL did you break up with Taylor?" Ryan said antagonism filling up into his eyes.

I-I broke up with her because Sonny said he overheard Taylor saying that she was going to break up with me." Chad said, still scared of Ryan.

"WHAT!" Taylor screamed just like Gabriella did earlier. "I was not going to break up with you anytime soon. Sonny was just lying." Taylor told Chad.

"Very interesting, yet again Sonny had something to do with you're relationship." Ryan said.

"Let's go to Kelsi and Jason. Kelsi?" Ryan said not bothering to ask her the question; she was bond to already know the query.

"I don't know why, but Jason thinks I'm flirting with you."

"WHAT!" Ryan screamed just like the two other girls. "Jason me and Kelsi do not flirt with each other. I mean ew she's been my friend for years, I don't like her that way.

"Excuse me! What's so 'ew' about liking me?" Kelsi asked.

"Kelsi I liked you better when you didn't talk too much." Ryan said.

"Guys stop! Look the only reason I accused Kelsi of flirting with you was because Sonny said he seen you." Jason said.

"Hmmm again, Sonny was involved with you're relationship." Ryan said.

"Jason you should have trusted me. I would never flirt with anyone but you." Kelsi told her boyfriend sincerely.

"Okay let's go to Sharpay and Zeke. Sis?"

"Zeke said music isn't important." Sharpay said.

"Oh no you didn't! Boy, how can you think music isn't important?" Ryan yelled.

"Ryan chill, I was just mad that Sharpay wouldn't hang out with me." Zeke said, defending himself.

"Okay guys, three out of the four relationships had something to do with Sonny. Now if Sonny didn't but in, you'd be still talking to each other right now. Don't you guys see? This whole thing was just a misunderstanding. So get up hug, make out what ever gets you guys to stop fighting." Ryan said. He thought that everyone by know would have got up and said they were sorry, but astoundingly no one did. Ryan gave a puzzled look. Why is everyone still sitting down? He asked himself.

"What's the problem now?" Ryan said irritated.

"Ryan do you except us to just get up, hug everyone and just forget this ever happened?" Gabriella asked.

"Yes!" Ryan said raising his eyebrow.

"It's not that easy Ryan. We've spent a whole week fighting and as if we didn't know each other. I don't know about anyone else, but I felt like maybe hanging out with them just caused too much problems for me. I'm better off with the decathlon team." Gabriella said; dropping her head down.

"W-What? Gabriella, what are you saying?" Ryan asked.

"She's saying exactly what everyone else feels. The geeks, the drama club and the popular group just don't get along with each other. Were to different Ryan." Troy said, answering for Gabriella.

"Yeah, maybe all we ever needed was to be in our own group. Just like how it was in the beginning of the year." Sharpay said.

"So were ending the way we started?" Ryan asked. Everyone nodded their heads, signifying a yes.

"What were just going to throw our friendship away, because you guys supposedly think were too different to hang out?" Ryan asked.

"Ryan it has always been like this. Yes we had fun when we hung out, but now we all finally opened our eyes and realized that we don't belong with each other. I mean Ryan do you know why me and Sharpay are fighting? It's because we don't agree on things. Look I understand that Chad and I breaking up was a misunderstanding, but none of us did anything to solve our problem. We just broke up and acted like we didn't care for each other." Taylor said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Ryan how do we know that were not going to get into fights again? I mean I can't take the heartbreak anymore. I can't go to sleep every night and get afraid that I might get into a fight with you guys the next day. I don't want to cry myself to sleep; I don't want to have my best friend cry over a boy. I just don't want to get hurt anymore." Gabriella said, tears also overflowing her eyes.

The day has finally come, everyone comprehending what has been there all along. Everyone acting as if their friendship meant nothing to them, but in the inside it meant everything. No one knows how hard it is to let go of the people you love the most, but once reality gets in the way; you have nothing to do but to let reality take over you're life.

"Gabriella you're bond to get hurt. Whether you like it or not everyone gets hurt. You can't just crawl into a ball and act like nothing is wrong. Life may be cruel sometimes, and you may feel like you can't grasp your life. But that's why you need you're friends; to cope with you when you get hurt." Ryan said while laying his hand on Gabriella's shoulder.

"But what if you're hurt because of you're friends? Then who do you turn to? Sometimes it's easier to just..." Gabriella said.

"Just what? Is it easier to just walk away; runaway from you're problems Gabriella? Or is it easier to ignore, disregard you're friends? Gabs, we might get into fights, but don't you guys think that our friendship is strong to hold on?" Ryan asked, making everyone stare at him. No one said a word; Ryan took this as a sign that no one knew that answer to his question. Ryan got up and left, slamming the door right behind him; leaving everyone wondering if he was right.

A/N: Well that's chapter 11. I really hope this was a satisfying chapter for you guys. Please read and review.
