When Troy walked into school the next day without Gabriella everyone was in shock. It was a known fact that they walked into the school together everyday. "Dude, where's Gabriella?" Chad asked. "Home." Troy told him. His head was drooped and his hair was a mess. "Dude, what happened to you? You look like you didn't sleep at all last night!" Zeke told him. "That's because I didn't. Gabriella ended up with a broken ankle so I stayed at her house last night to keep her company. We stayed up all night laughing and watching TV. This morning I overslept so I didn't bother to get up until Gabriella shoved me off the couch and forced me to come here today. I would so much rather be at her house with her right now!" He told the group. Just then the bell rang signaling that the group had to go to first period.
AT GABRIELLA'S HOUSE
"Mami! I'm sooo bored!" Gabriella complained to her mother. "Why can't I just go to school and take it easy?" "Because, Mija. Your cast is still wet and you can't bump it!" Her mother explained for the umpteenth time that day. "Hence the part about me taking it easy!" Gabriella said. "Why don't you go read?" "I've read all the books in the house, including the phone book!" Gabriella said frustrated. Just then the front door opened and closed. "Hello? Anyone home?" A familiar voice called out. "Troy? What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go to school?" Gabriella yelled out. "Gabriella, chill. I have free period. I had my dad drive me over so I wouldn't get in trouble." Troy told her. "Oh." "You know you shouldn't be up! What about your ankle?" He yelled at her. "Don't you yell at me mister!" She shot back. Then she collapsed back on the couch. "I'm sorry. I just haven't done anything all day. I'm sooo bored! I'd watch TV but I can't stand little kid shows. I'd read, but I already read every book in this house including the phone book!" She complained. "Good luck Troy. I've heard all his at least twenty times today." Ms. Montez said as she walked by. "Oh boy." Troy said under his breath. Gabriella smacked him off the head. "I heard that!" She told him. "Don't be turning into Taylor, please!" Troy begged. Gabriella laughed at him. "Silly Troy." She gave him a peck on the lips. Troy started tickling her sides and before they knew it, Troy had to go back to school. "All of the fun is done." Gabriella said sadly as Troy was walking out the door. "I'll be back!" Troy said in his best terminator voice. Gabriella laughed and then went on the computer for the remainder of the school day.
