------------------------------------------------

Why me?

Right after that whole something at the park, Tyler took the girls home. Tyler had to drop off Taylor because they had school the next day. By the time they got home Gabriella had fallen asleep, which is weird because it was only 5:30! Gabriella was leaning on Becky's shoulder and legs on the seats. Tyler carefully picked her up, and took her out of the car. Becky then got out, closed the door, and opened the front door wide so Tyler could get Gabriella in, without hitting her head. Tyler gently placed her on her bed, and closed the door, and went to find Becky. He found her in the dinning room drinking water.

"Hey, whats up?" Tyler asked sitting next to her.

"I don't know, I mean Gabriella told me to stay away from Troy, but I don't know." Becky sighed.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Tyler, didn't you see how she reacted back there? I mean, I never seen her act like that, and I've seen her act like a lot of things!" She laughed.

"Yeah, I've known her for so long, and she can act a little crazy."

"A little?" Becky said.

"Talking about me?" They heard someone from behind them.

"Hey Gabs, Tyler was the one talking about you!" Becky said pointing a finger at him.

"Me? You were the one th-" Tyler started.

"Guys I was just kidding." Gabriella laughed.

"So, how are you doing?" Becky said hugging her older cousin.

"Fine I guess, you know you guys could have woken me up."

"Yeah, but you looked so cute sleeping like that!" Becky said in a high voice.

"Haha, very funny! Give me that!" Gabriella said, and drinking Becky's water.

"Hey, that was mine!"

Troy, Chad and Zach was going to the car when Troy got a phone call, guess who...Victoria.

"Ugh, Troy I know you went out with her once, and I think once is enough!" Zach said getting in.

"Hey it's not my fault she likes me." Troy joked.

"Whatever and answer that phone."

"Hello?...Yeah, no, why? NO! Bye!" Toy said and hung up.

"Well?" Chad said.

"Well...Victoria is out of the picture." Troy said starting the car.

"Why, what did you do?" Zach called from the back.

"She wanted to embarrasses Gabs, but I didn't want to, so she got all mad, but said this isn't over."

"Oh.."

The next day Gabriella wasn't feeling too well, so she asked her mom if she could stay home, she said yes but Becky had to go, and Tyler had to take care of her. Becky left in a brown Guess shirt, dark jeans and brown all-stars.

"I'm leaving!" Becky called and walking out the door.

"Becky wait!" Gabriella called, and Becky walked into her room, "Don't even think about talking to him."

"Yeah, bye! Faker!" Becky yelled and walked out the door.

"So your faking?" Tyler said raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe.." Gabriella said, and pulling the covers over her head.

Becky was walking the halls of East High, she had a pretty good rep. considering that she was Gabriella's cousin and a friend of Zach Bolton. She was walking the halls when she heard someone call her name.

"Becky! Becky wait up!" She turned around and was the one only Zach.

"What do you want?" Becky said still walking.

"What your mad at me too?"

"Who else is mad at you?"

"Your cousin and my cousin have more in common then they think." Zach said.

"What? Gabs is not mad at you."

"Yeah, sure..."

"So I know you didn't come up to me just so we can see if my cousin likes you or not, so whats up?" Becky said opening her locker.

"Well no, I didn't see Gabriella yet, so I was wondering if you knew where she was."

"Yeah, she at home shes, umm, not feeling too good today."

"Oh, well give this to her." Zach said giving her a note and walking aways.

"Whats up with this school and notes?" Becky thought out loud and closing her locker.

"Guys i'm home!" Becky said putting her bag on the ground.

"Were up here." Gabriella called.

"I could have guessed that." Becky said.

"So, how was your day?"

"Here." Becky said and threw the note on her bed.

"Whats this for, and whos it from?"

"How would I know that? I just give it to you."

Gabriella opened the note and read it, twice, fine four times. Becky and Zach just sat there, watching.

"Any day would be nice Gabster." Tyler said.

"Huh? Oh, umm, here." Gabriella said giving it to them.

Becky grabbed it and read it, over, and over.

"What does this mean?"

"What does it say?" Tyler said.

"It takes two, to play a game." Gabriella said.

"Why does everyone say that? And what does it mean?" Tyler said.

"You know Tyler, older doesn't always mean wiser." Gabriella laughed.

"Who is it from?" Tyler asked.

Gabriella and Becky looked at each other and answered, "Victoria."

"Did you give her the note?"

"Yes Troy I did, now leave me alone." Zach said getting in the house."I still don't know why you didn't just give it to her, yourself."

"Yeah, yeah."

"So what does that note mean anyways?" Zach asked.

"Huh? Oh its this little inside joke me and her use to say." Troy said.

"Again, what does it mean?"

"I can't, we promised each other we wouldn't tell anyone." Troy said going into his room.

"Fine, I'll just ask Becky." Zach said once he heard Troy's door close.

"Umm, Gabs, what does this mean?" Becky asked holding up the note.

"Oh, its this little inside joke, we made."

"You and Victoria?" Tyler asked, Gabriella just looked at him, like he was the stupidest person a live.

"Yeah, sure." Gabriella said shaking her head.

Becky slapped Tyler on the head and said, "Her and Troy, you idiot!"

"Well sorry!"

"Aye.." Gabriella sighed.

"Well, anyways, Gabriella, what does this mean?" Becky asked again.

"I can't tell you, I promised him I wouldn't." Gabriella said, walking out of the room, and onto her balcony.

"Fine, I'll just ask Zach." Becky whispered.

Troy was looking out his window, thinking of that day, that they made that 'inside joke.'

Flash Back

It was about a year ago, they were in Troy's living room, playing a video game, but of course Gabriella didn't want to play.

"Come one Gabi, play with me."

"No, Troy I told you, i'm not going to play, just drop it." Gabriella said.

"Come one, please!"

"No."

"You know what they say Gabi." Troy started.


"Oh, and whats that?"

"It takes two, to play a game."

"Oh, really? Because the last time I checked it takes two, to do a lot of things."

"Like what?" Troy asked.

"Just give me the thing." Gabriella said, and started playing.

Flash Back

Troy still didn't know what she was talking about that day, but every time they did something that the other didn't want to do, they always said, "it takes two, to play a game." and the other one knew that they were talking about. While the others just stood there, confused.

Gabriella was out on her balcony, thinking of the same day Troy was thinking about. She always went out there to think, the wind was just right, it wasn't too hot, or too cold, it was...Perfect. Just then Gabriella knew it wasn't Victoria who gave her the note, it was Troy.

When Gabriella was outside, Becky pulled out her cell phone, and called Zach, it rang twice then Zach pick up, breathing heavily.

"Hello?"

"Hey, did you just come back from a run or something?" Becky asked.

"Yeah, my phone was up here, and I was in the living room, so I.." Zach started but got cut off by Becky.

"Oh, okay I get it. So, who was the note from?"

"I..I can't tell you that."

"Zach, i'm not stupid, I know it's from Troy." Becky said.

"Well, if you knew that, then why did you ask?"

"Shut up, and listen. Kay, what does 'it takes two, to play a game' mean?"

"Umm, I don't know, I thought Gabriella would've told you."

"No, I thought Troy would have told you."

"They said, they promised." They said at the same time.

"Oh, I got to go, Gabriella is coming back, bye." Becky said and hung up.

"Who was that?" Troy asked.

"Oh, Becky."

"So, you guys like going out or something?"

"Ha, umm, where'd you get that idea?"

"I was just asking, don't get all excited." Troy said and walking to his room.

"Yeah, well, at lease I talk on the phone." Zach said the first thing that came to his mind.

"What?" Troy called.

"I don't know, leave me alone!"

"Whatever."

"Hey Gabs, can I talk to you?" Tyler said.

"Sure."

"A lone." Tyler said turning to Becky.

"Fine, I get when i'm not wanted." Becky said leaving the room and walking over to Troy's house.

"Gabs, you haven't let anyone call you 'Gabi' since, well, you know." Tyler said.

"I don't want to talk about it." Gabriella sighed.

Troy and Zach were in the living room, just sitting, they didn't know what to do, they were stuck at home, with no car, since Troy's dad's car broke. They were about to go play some basketball when the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." Zach said, and opening the door, only to find Becky.

"Hey, I have to talk to Troy about something, can I come in?" Becky asked.

"Sure, come in." Zach said opening the door wider.

"Hey, whats up Becky?" Troy said sitting down.

"I need to talk to you."

"Does Gabi-ella, know your here?"

"No, thats why I need to make this fast." Becky said sitting down.

"Kay, lets hear it." Troy said.

"Do you know why she lets you call her 'Gabi'?" Becky asked.

"Umm, I don't know."

"Well, let me start from the beginning." Becky started.

"This is going to be a while." Zach said, and Becky shot him a look.

"Gabriella's dad died when she was about like 13, the same time she started to move, she only had her mom and brother. Her dad used to call her 'Gabi' all the time, her brother too. She felt safe with them, like nothing could ever to her. But when her dad died, she only let her brother call her that, and no one else." Becky said.

"Then why does she let me call her that?" Troy asked.

"Troy, "Becky started, "She felt safe with you, she felt like you would never hurt her, Gabriella had a bad time after her dad died, she was made fun of, for some stupid reason, thats when she became like she is now, but about a year later, she went into the 8th grade, everything changed, she got a boyfriend, and became, her old self. Outgoing, fun, crazy, and well irresistible."

Becky stopped so Troy could let it soak in, but continued, "When she saw you kiss Victoria.."

"She left like I hurt her." Troy finished.

"Right, and now, she won't let you call her that." Becky said, looking at the clock, "Oh, I got to go, Gabriellas going to kill me, if she found out I left, more like Tyler, but, anyways, bye!"

"Okay...Wow." Zach said once Becky left.

"You got that right." Troy said softly.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get my 'Gabi' back." Troy said getting up and walking into his room, but stopped and said, "It takes two people, to do a lot right Zach."
