The bell rang and everyone left the theater. Troy walked to Gabriella and asked, "Gabriella, care to..." He suddenly glanced at the clock and saw it was alrerady 1:05pm, "Oh my! I'm already late! I'm really sorry Gabriella. I hope I can make it up to you." He ran as fast as he could towards the Gym. Gabriella looked down and was disappointed. She grabbed her books and walked slowly to the door. "Gabriella! Wait!", Tyler called as he chased Gabriella, "Do you want to... uhm... go... to...ah..." Gabriella faced him and replied, "I'm sorry. I have to go to my other Club." Tyler looked sad and was about to leave when, "BUT! You can walk me there if you'd like." Tyler said yes and he carried Gabriella's books. They walked together and started to talk.

"So? What's it like to be a wild cat?", Tyler asked Gabriella. "Well, you get to be with friends who are nice." she replied. "Really? Can you be my first friend?", he asked. Gabriella was flattered, "Sure! I can teach you all about East High." They continued to talk. Then Tyler asked, "I heard you and Troy are very close." "Yeah! He's a really nice guy. He is so considerate and I really like him.", she said, "But for the past weeks, he has been acting weird. It's like I'm not even here. Troy has been pretty busy with his basketball and I also become pre-occupied with my Math Contest. I hope this doesn't break our relationship." Tyler felt sorry for Gabriella but he also felt a little joy because he himself is in love with Gabriella.

While they were walking, someone was listening to their conversation. It was Troy's friend, Chad. "I wonder why Gabriella is with that Newbie.", Chad asked, "Is she falling for him! I better tell Troy." He ran to the Gym and found Troy practicing some hoops. "Hey Troy! How come you're not with Gabriella?", Chad asked. "I was practicing here. Why'd you ask?", Troy replied. "Nothing much, except that I saw her with the new guy earlier. They looked like they were becoming very close." Troy paused for a while and thought about it. Then, his father and coach came, "We better start practicing if we would like to win!" They started to play and Troy forgot all about Tyler.

Tyler and Gabriella finally reached the room. "Thanks!", said Gabriella as she got her books from Tyler. Tyler smiled at her and left. Gabriella entered the room. All day, Gabriella couldn't stop thinking about Tyler and Troy. She was confused with her emotions. She couldn't answer simple Algebra. Everyone was worried especially Taylor, her best friend. So she asked Gabriella, "What's wrong? Is anything bothering you?" Gabriella simply replied, "No, its just that I'm very tired. I'll be fine tomorrow." But Taylor knew something was really wrong with Gabriella.

It was dismissal. Taylor wanted to know what was bothering Gabriella. She walked towards her but Gabriella was walking too fast. Then, Chad walked to Taylor and said, "I know what's bothering her." Taylor was relieved. "Really? What's bothering her?", she asked. Chad explained what had happened earlier. Unfortunately, Sharpay overheard it. The gossip was out. Everyone knew what had happened. Troy became very upset. Was this the end of their relationship?
