Chapter 4: Being noticed:

Me and Troy were at the mall.

"Hey Gabi!" Lindsay said to me walking by.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey Gabriella!" Someone I didn't even know said.

"Hi..." I said.

"Hey Troy." Some guy said that obviously didn't know him. Troy just waved.

"Hey Gabriella and Troy!" Some girls said.

"Hey." I said. "Ok this is weird. I mean we were on tv once. Did people really love it that much?"

"Ah huh." Troy said stopping.

"What?" I asked. Then I looked at what Zac was looking at. It was a poster showing me, Troy, Sharpay, Ryan and the rest of the school dancing to "We're all in this together." And then right next to it there was a video playing of us dancing.

"Oh...my...god..." I said. "This is so cool!"

"I know." Troy said then we walked away from it.

"Ok this was one dance that we did. I mean it's not like it's a movie." I said.

"Well you are like an awesome dancer and singer." Troy told me.

"Ah thanks." I said giving him a kiss.

"Hey Gabriella." My friend Jamie said.

"Hi!" I said.

"Wait a second! Gabriella!" Jamie said stopping.

"Hey Jamie!" I said giving her a hug.

"What are you doing here?" Jamie asked.

"I just came to visit." I said.

"Oh my gosh! I missed you so much!" Jamie said.

"I missed you too." I said. "Hey did you see me on tv the other day?"

"No. But it's all over the mall. So I saw it." Jamie said.

"Yeah. I don't get it. I mean it's just one dance. I mean it's not like it's a movie." I said.

"Well it is so good! I mean where did you learn to sing and dance like that girl?" Jamie asked.

"Um well about 3 years ago, me and Troy were forced to sing at a kareoke contest and then that's when I discovered my singing side of me." I explained.

"Wait a minute. Troy?" Jamie asked.

"Oh...right. Um Jamie, I would like you to meet my boyfriend, Troy." I explained.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Jamie said.

"Hi." Troy said.

"So werern't you in the video too?" Jamie asked.

"Yes I was." Troy said.

"Cool. Well you both were awesome." Jamie said.

"Thanks." We said.

"Well I'll talk to you later." Jamie said.

"K. Call me. I still have the same cell number." I explained.

"K. Bye Gabi. Nice meeting you Troy." Jamie said then walked away.

"Yeah." Troy said.

"So what'd you think of the party last night?" I asked.

"It was so cool. I mean your friend Sarah is like totally rich. I mean she had a pool and a gym on each of her 5 floors." Troy said.

"Yeah I know. When she was 5...um...her father won the lottery. And only her father got the money cause her parents split. And then her mother died in a car crash and so she had to live with her dad 24/7. And now I guess she's lived with him since." I explained.

"Oh that's sad. Yet so sweet." Troy said.

"Yeah. And then after a few years she started getting like caught up in all her money and like started...like...she could not stop bragging about all her money and then one time in the 7th grade she like totally went over the top and we got in a big fight with me and my friends against her. And then her father found out and told her that his money was off limits and then we felt guilty and convinced him to let her use his money too. And ever since then she stopped bragging and she even shared some of it with us." I explained.

"Wow. That's...confusing." Troy said.

"Yeah well there's more to the story. But let's not get into that." I said.

"Ok." Troy said.

"Wanna get a smoothie?" I asked.

"Sure." Troy said taking my hand. Then we got smoothies and then we back to the hotel. Then right once we got back my cell rang.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey girl!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"Hey Sharpay!" I said.

"Hey! So how's San Diego?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh it's so nice. And it was so fun seeing everyone again." I said.

"Good. And did you see us on tv the other day!" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah. And me and Troy have had people saying hi to us. Even people we don't know. It's so cool!" I said.

"I know. Me and Tay went to the mall yesterday and like we were mobbed by people. I mean it was just a dance. It's not like it was a movie." Sharpay said.

"My words exactly." I said. "So how's life down in New Mexico?"

"It's good. We miss you guys though." Sharpay said.

"Yeah. We miss you guys too." I said.

"Let me talk to her!" I heard Taylor say in the back round.

"Oh sounds like Tay wants to talk." I said.

"Yeah." Sharpay said handing Taylor the phone.

"Hey Gabi!" Taylor said.

"Hey Tay." I said.

"I miss you so much!" Taylor said. "It seems like you've been gone forever!"

"Well Tay. 2 days isn't exactly forever." I said.

"I know." Taylor said. "So did you like seeing your friends again?"

"Yeah. And I also saw us on tv the other day." I said.

"I know. So did I. It was so cool." Taylor said. "We've had like...fans, come up to us at the mall."

"I know." I said laughing.

"But ya...so when are you coming back?" Taylor asked.

"I told you. 2 weeks." I said.

"Yeah. Well we all miss you guys down here." I said.

"Yeah. We miss you too." I said.

"Ok. Well I'll let you get back to life in San Diego." Taylor said.

"K bye Taylor." I said.

"Bye Gabs." Taylor said. Then we hung up.

"So was that Sharpay and Taylor?" Troy asked.

"Yep." I said.

"How did I know?" Troy asked.

"They saw us on tv too. And they were mobbed by fans too." I explained.

"Yeah. It's a little freaky. I mean it's just a dance. It's not like it's a movie." Troy said.

"Oh. Would people stop using me words?" I joked.

"Sorry." Troy said laughing.

"Turn on the tv." I said. Then Troy did that.

And of corse they were showing our "music video".

"Uh..." We both said. Then he put it on MTV. And TRL was on.

"And number one this week is "We're all in this together" Sang by students from Albuqerque, New Mexico's East High School!" Vanessa said.

"Oh look. We're number one!" Troy said laughing.

"You know that's kind of cool." I said.

"Yes. This video is not sang by known artists. This is just a little song and dance that some students at East High School in Albuqerque, New Mexico sang and danced to. So here it is! Number one on the countdown. "We're all in this Togehter"." Vanessa said.

A/N: You know what, I'm not even gonna put on the lyrics. I'm sure you're sick of them by now. lol!

Then they played the video.

"Well. At least we're good." I said.

"Yeah." Troy said flipping the channels.

1 hour later.

"Here we go again." Troy said.

"Yes. East High School in Albuqerque, New Mexico did a dance to a song called "We're all in this Together". Let's take a look at this spectacular dance. And some footage catching the students before they started dancing.

"Congradulations Wildcats!" I yelled wrapping my arms around him.

"Oh no." I said.

"They're gonna show us almost kiss!" Troy said.

"Oh what about your team!" Troy asked as we pulled me in front of him.

"We won too!" I said then we leaned into kiss then Chad interupted. Curse you Chad!

"Hey. The team voted you the game ball captain!" Chad explained.

"Oh thank you. Thanks a lot. Yeah." Troy said then Chad left to catch Taylor.

"So. You're going with me to the after party right?" Chad asked.

"Like on a date?" Taylor asked.

"Well I guess it must be your lucky day!" Chad said then Taylor ran over to me breaking me and Troy apart.

"Chad just asked me out!" Taylor said.

"Ah..." I said.

"Well congradulations. I guess I'm gonna be the under-study incase you can't make one of the shows." Sharpay said. "So, break a leg."

I gave her a confused look.

"In theatre that means good luck." Sharpay said then left.

"Hey Sharpay!" Zeke said jumping in front of her. "I'm sorry that you didn't get the lead. But I think that you're really good. I admire you so much!"

"And why wouldn't you? Now buh-bye." Sharpay said.

"Oh wait. I baked you some cookies." Zeke said.

"Ewe." Sharpay said then walked away.

"Nice game!" Ryan said taking the cookies.

"Thanks." Zeke said then walked away.

"Composer! Here's your game ball! You deserve it! Playmaker!" Troy said handing Kelsi the basketball, then everyone cheerded. Then Jason came up behind her, threw her hat of and they shot it into the basket. And we danced and sang and then it ended.

"You know. You really are the most amazing singer I have ever seen." Troy said to me.

"Ah thanks. I think you're singings amazing too." I said. Then we kissed.

"Thank you." Troy said. Then Troy's phone rang.

"Hello." Troy said answering it.

"Hi Troy!" Some girl said.

"Uh...who is this?" Troy asked.

"Oh..well you don't know me. I got your cell phone number on the internet." She said.

"How'd you get my cell phone number on the internet?" Troy asked.

"I have my ways." She said. "Anyway. I'm Kelly Hansen and I thought you were so good on tv! And I also think you are like so hot!"

"Uh well thanks. But I don't talk to fans through phone." Troy said.

"Oh I totally understand. I mean being a movie star and all." Kelly said.

"Wait what? I'm not a movie star. That was one song that wasn't even supposed to be on tv. We didn't know we were being filmed." Troy explained.

"That's not what the internet said." Kelly said.

"Yeah well...the internet it wrong." Troy said.

"Not when your phone number was posted." Kelly said. "I love you! Bye!"

Then she hung up.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Some girl named Kelly." He said.

"Kelly?" I asked getting up.

"Oh, no. I don't even know her. She saw our video and then found my cell number on the net and called me." Troy explained. "That's all."

"That better be all." I said. "You know how'd she get your cell phone number on the net?"

"She said 'She has her ways'." Troy said.

"Oh. Ok then..." I said sitting back down.
