Thanks for the reviews! I'm trying to juggle this story and my other HSM one so it's hard!
Taylor and Gabriella sat on Gabriella's bed. It was the day before the musical. The week went by pretty slow for Gabriella. She was really quiet. It was Thursday but they didn't have school that day or next, due to the musical.
"Gabriella, what's wrong? You're not talking." Taylor said.
"This week was the most boring week of my life." Gabriella said, lying on her bed.
"Why, what's wrong?" Taylor said.
"It's Troy. He hasn't been spending any time with me. It's this musical. I want Troy to do it, but not with Sharpay. She always gets what she wants." Gabriella could feel tears coming up in her eyes.
"Oh Gabi, it's okay." Taylor hugged her. "You know he doesn't feel any sort of connection with her."
"I know but I just miss him so much. We always have movie night on Wednesday's but he missed it to practice." Gabriella wiped her eyes.
"Don't worry. I bet he really wanted to come. You are the one that told him that he should do the musical, so don't blame him." Taylor said.
"I know. I'm okay, really." She wiped her eyes and got out of bed. "Let's do something today. To get my mind of Troy." The girls got up and headed to the mall.
EVANS HOUSEHOLD
"Ryan!" Sharpay screamed to her brother.
He came out of his room. "What?"
"The musical is only one day away and I haven't even kissed Troy once!" She squealed.
"Okay..."
"Ryan! We need to take this seriously. I need to kiss him before the musical. It needs to be perfect and we haven't even rehearsed that part."
"Have you ever thought that maybe he doesn't want to kiss you?" Ryan asked her.
"Uuuugggghhh! Why do I even bother asking you?" She stormed into her room, and slammed the door.
Troy got up. He didn't have anything to do today. The musical is tomorrow but Sharpay and him have practiced every single day for hours. He decided to call Gabriella and see what she was doing.
"Hello?" Gabriella answered.
"Hey, it's me." Troy responded.
"Troy! Hi, you finally have time to call me." She said.
"I know, I'm sorry. I've been so busy, but I was wondering what you we're doing since I don't have practice today. Maybe we could get together." He muttered.
"Oh, Troy. I'm sorry but I'm with Tay-" She paused. "Hang on." She said to him. He waited.
"Uh, Troy?" She asked to see if he was still on.
"Yeah, I'm still here." He responded.
"I would love to do something. Taylor and I will do something later."
"Sounds great. I'll meet you in the park, okay?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'll be right there. Bye." They hung up.
"Yes!" Troy said aloud. He was so excited to be spending time with Gabriella. He felt like he hadn't seen her in months. He put on a long sleeve, blue shirt and dark jeans. Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello?" Tray answered.
"Hi, Troy." It was Sharpay.
"Oh, hi." He said.
"What are you doing today? I just thought that since the musical is tomorrow, we should practice a few scenes that you know, we haven't really covered yet." She said.
"Well, actually, I'm going out with Gabriella at the moment. Besides, we've practiced his whole week. I think we have it down pretty well." Troy said.
"Fine. I'll meet you at school tomorrow. Remember to meet me in the dressing room a half an hour prior to the show. Bye Troy." She said slowly. They hung up.
Troy arrived at the park. He sat on the bench, while waiting for Gabriella. He then saw her. She had dark jeans, a pink shirt, with a jean jacket over it. He hair was in a half pony and it was curled. She sat beside him.
"Hey." She said, sitting down.
"Hi. It's so good to see you." Troy said looking into her eyes.
"I've missed you, Troy." Gabriella said, hugging him.
"Me too." He leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
"So are you going to watch me tomorrow?" He asked. "I understand if you don't want to."
"I would love to, but I'm sort of developing this cold. So I might be sick." She lied. The truth is she didn't want to see her boyfriend kiss another girl, even if is just acting.
"Oh." He was sad. He was going to feel guilty if he kissed Sharpay in front of her, but he still wanted her to be there, supporting him.
"I'm sorry, Troy. I really want to come." She lied.
"I wish you we're in it with me." He said kissing her again.
"That's sweet, but I know you'll do great. You always do." She smiled.
"I love you, Gabriella."
"I love you too." There was a moment of silence. Neither of them knew what to do or say.
They eventually decided to go out to eat. They talked and laughed. Soon it became late. Troy walked her home. They had a slow time since she was on crutches, though.
They reached her house.
"I had the best time today. The best out of any day of this week." Troy said. They both laughed.
"Me too. It's been really boring and lonely around here since my mom is always on call." She said.
"If you change you're mind, I would love it if you came tomorrow." He said, looking at her.
"Okay. Well I have to go in so... uh I guess this is goodbye." She said. She wasn't going to see him for another few days if she didn't come to the musical.
"Okay..." He was sad. They kissed passionately, and then she went inside and got ready for bed.
She had a really hard night. Thinking. 'Should I go to the musical?' 'Should I not go to the musical?' Then slowly, drifted off to sleep.
