Thanks everyone! I hope you love it as much as I love writing it!
When Gabriella got home she burst into her room. She was crying like she never cried before. Suddenly her cell phone rang. Would if it's Tory, she thought. She wouldn't want to talk to him. How could she? After all he did to her! She still couldn't believe it. "Hello?" She answered. "Hey, Gabriella! Do you mind if I stop over for a while?" It was Taylor. "Um, sure." Gabriella said still sobbing. "What happened? Are you okay?" Taylor asked. "I'll tell you when you get here" While Gabriella was waiting for Taylor, she started to do her homework. Suddenly a noise came from her computer. There was an object. She clicked on it. It said that she had 1 new unread message. It was from Troy. She didn't even bother to read it. Quickly, she deleted and finished her math problems. "Knock, knock!" Taylor said coming through the door. "Oh, hi," Gabriella said, her eyes were still red. "So, what's going on? Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm okay." She said wiping her eyes. She didn't feel like explaining the whole story to Taylor. "Are you sure, because you don't look that all right to me," Taylor added. "Ok, I'm miserable. This whole time, Troy has been cheating on me……. With Sharpay!" Gabriella blurted out, crying really hard. "Oh my gosh, Gabriella, I'm so sorry." Taylor said. "I can't believe he did that to you! How did you find out? I bet you caught them, didn't you?" "No. Sharpay told me. She said that Troy kissed her and she told him that it was wrong but he didn't listen to her!" She screamed. "I really loved him! How could he do this to me!" "Gabriella, listen to me, I have to go, but I just want you to know that I'm here for you. If you ever need to talk, I'll be there to listen. Okay?" Taylor looked at her in the eyes. "Okay. I'll be okay, once I dump him!" They both laughed. "How can I be laughing?" She said to herself. "Well, I'm going to get going alright? Bye. Feel better!" She walked out of the door.
When Troy woke up the next morning, he was feeling pretty good. He knew he did the right thing to go out with Sharpay. Gabriella wanted him too. Now they can become friends and he won't have to go out with Sharpay again. He couldn't wait to see Gabriella. He barely had a chance. Oh yeah, and today was the first day of Book Club. He would never be able to tell Chad that he was on the Book Club. His friends would make fun of him. When he eventually did get out of bed, he took a shower and got dressed. He took one last glance at the picture of him and Gabriella on his nightstand and headed for the door. When he arrived at school, he opened his locker and started putting his books away. "Hey, Troy, what are you doing now that basketball's over?" Chad asked him, holding a basketball in his hand. "Uh, you know I'm not sure. But I'll find something!" He smiled. He saw Gabriella walk up to her locker. Her locker was about 6 lockers away. "Dude, I'll catch you later." He told Chad as he shut his locker. "Hey Gabriella!" He said, leaning against the locker beside hers. She didn't say anything. He had a strange puzzle on his face. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Troy you know perfectly well what's wrong." She told him. "Uh, no I don't. Can you fill me in?" He asked. "Ugh! Why are guys such morons? I can't believe you would act like you don't even know!" She yelled and stormed away. "Dude, what was up with that?" Chad asked him, coming up from behind. "Troy had a puzzled look on his face. "I was about to ask you the same thing." Troy said.
"Welcome to Book Club!" Mrs. Strangle said. She was probobaly in about her mid 50's or 60's, she had grayish blonde hair, and an outfit you would think she got borrowed from Queen Elizabeth. She actually reminded Troy of Mrs. Darbus. Oh Great, he thought, not another one. "Okay, so all of you read the book in English a few weeks ago. Now you will get with a partner and discuss what you thought about it. I want you to write your partners review in your Book Club Journal. "Gabriella. Gabriella?" Troy whispered. She didn't listen. "Taylor? Do you want to be my partner?" Gabriella asked. "Sure." Taylor knew that she didn't want to be partnered with Troy. "Hey, Troy! Want to be my partner?" Sharpay asked. "Sure, why not?" Troy said. He had nobody else to be partners with. Gabriella looked over at him. She couldn't believe he was still partnering with her, even though she knew what was going on.
Sorry had to end it so soon! Please review! Make sure to read the next chapter when Troy finds out!
