Chapter 9

Sharpay turned back and gave them a quick glance.

"What are they doing together?" Chad asked Zeke.

"All I know is that he stole my woman!" was all Zeke could say.

Chad slapped Zeke in the back of the head.

"This isn't about you! This is about Troy dating the ICE QUEEN!" Chad accentuated Ice Queen.

"He might not be dating her, they might just be secret friends." Jason added.

"They aren't even supposed to be that!" Chad yelled.

After basketball practice ……

"Hey Troy…"

"I know what you are gonna say Chad,

Why are you dating that cold hearted witch with a captil B!" he said with the great impression of Chad.

"Well, why are you?" Chad replied.

"First of all, we have been dating off and on since 8th grade! Second of all, She isn't a cold hearted witch! And third of all, I-I-I- love her…." Troy said.

"Wait you didn't tell me?" Chad asked his oh so loyal best friend.

"You would have done exactly this!" Troy replied.

"No I wouldn't ha- okay I would have….but COME FLIPPIN' ON! YOUR DATING THE ICE QUEEN! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO GABRIELLA! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DATING HER, OR WAS THAT A LIE TO?"

Mr. Bolton heard the yelling from his office and stepped out to see what was going on.

"Troy, Chad, what's going on in here?" Jack asked his son.

"His new girlfriend!" Chad replied.

"Oh! You mean Gabriella? She is so much better then any other of his girlfriends. Isn't she?" Jack replied with sweetness in his voice.

"No, we're talking about Sharpay and don't say it dad. She is MUCH better then Gabriella and if you don't approve I could care less because I love her!" Troy slightly yelled at his dad.

"Chad you better go." Jack said.

"Right…" Chad said while grabbing his gym bag and going to meet up with Taylor.

"Troy, why are you dating that-that-that…" he couldn't think of a word to say.

"Shut up dad!" Troy yelled.

"Don't you dare talk back to me! I am your father and you will respect me!"

"I am sick of you and mom not approving of us! What did she EVER do to you?" Troy said with one hand on his hip.

"She, she, she, she…."

"EXACTLY!" Troy said.

"Troy, she did nothing good for you. Name one thing she did for you." Jack said calmly.

"There's many, but one thing…she taught me how to love." Troy said.

"Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay." Was all Jack to say to his son.

"Dad! I'm serious. She is the best thing that ever happened to me and the biggest mistake I made in my life was letting her go for a week. A week is like a year to me dad, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, just after 2 days. If that isn't love then, I don't know what is." Troy said staring into his father's eyes.

"Troy, are you eating? Because if you aren't then you better because you need the fuel for basketball."

"Dad! I just told you about something VERY important in my life and that is all you can think about is basketball? And yes I am eating but I don't need it."

"Yah whatever. Did you just say you don't need it? Are you taking steroids? Troy NO going out with ANYONE for a year!"

"Dad! I'm not taking steroids."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Until you REALLY approve. I'm quitting basketball."

Troy walked out and jumped into his car where Sharpay was sitting with the radio on and singing along to 'Something More' by Aly and AJ. Troy just sat there watching her every move.

Sharpay then noticed that he was staring at her.

"What are you looking at?" Sharpay said sweetly.

"You." Troy replied.

"What's wrong? You seem down."

"Nothing, I just quit basket ball." Troy replied while starting the car.

"Nothing? That's a something! Why did you quit baby?" Sharpay replied.

"It's my dad. He just did something. I will tell you later." Troy said while starting to drive.

"Okay…" Sharpay said while sitting way back in her seat.

(A/N: OOOO Intense chapter! I know I said I was going to make it when he breaks up with her. But I got this idea! But I PROMISE that the next chapter will the be the break up between Gabi and Troy! R&R)
