As Gabriella pulled into her driveway, Martin was already asleep. The carefully woke him up and told him he could go nap in Gabriella's room until they would go talk to his mom.
"So what was with all those getaways with Jeremy, Gabby?" Sharpay asked nosily when they walked into Gabriella's house.
"Huh?" Gabby asked, she wasn't paying attention to Sharpay when she asked.
"I was asking how come you and Jeremy had all those little talks today?"
"Oh, you know, just catching up on things."
"Seemed like more than that to me." Taylor said. "I kinda remember seeing you guys hold hands when I turned around to see why you two were taking so long when we went over to Mrs. Siggs." Taylor was looking at Gabriella with a serious face. She didn't know what Gabriella was trying to pull.
"Yeah, I thought you liked Troy?" Kelsie asked. All three girls were confused. They knew Gabriella liked Troy, a lot, but they didn't understand why she would jump to things and hold hands and stuff with another guy.
"Geez you guys, quit pressuring me." Gabriella snapped. "I think I got enough of that to last a few months from the musical and everything."
"Sorry Gabby." They all said embarrassed.
"It's just, we thought you and Troy were..." Taylor started.
"Troy and I aren't really anything but friends. We never established anything between us but a friendship." Gabriella sighed. "I don't know about the kiss..."
"So what was all that with Jeremy then?" Kelsie looked at Gabriella. They were all sitting on the big couch in the living room.
"Well, when Jeremy and I were at the math convention, we kinda clicked. I wasn't really used to talking to people much since I was always the 'Freaky Math Girl', but there everyone was into math..." She explained. "And we kinda eventually considered ourselves a couple. He made me feel likeI was a part of somethingfor once.But then I had to move suddenly, and I never got the chance to say goodbye."
"Wow." Sharpay said.
"And well, today he asked me if I still cared for him since we never officially broke up. And I do, but not the same way anymore, since I met Troy..."
"So you do still like Troy."
"Of course. Jeremy and I discussed it and decided we'd just be friends."
"Well, that's good. But either way, they're both cute." Sharpay said.
"Sharpay!" The girls exclaimed.
"What! Guys' eyes wonder around all the time, so girls have the right too. Plus I was just saying. I mean you guys can't deny the fact that they are both cute. Besides I have Zeke, and I'm happy" She smiled and they all laughed.
"So what was that all about?" Camille asked on the way home.
"What was what about?" Ryan asked.
"I mean Jermz and Gabby."
"What about Gabriella and I?" Jeremy asked from the back seat.
"Why were you guys always together? C'mon I sense something going on, I'm your twin!" She said when they got out of the car and walked into the house.
"She's got a point, twins do have that weird thing sometimes." Ryan stated as he took a seat on the couch.
"We used to be a couple, that's all. So we were just catching up." He simply said.
"What!" both Ryan and Camille looked over at Jeremy.
"You two used to go out!" Camille asked.
"Yeah, and we never really broke up since she moved suddenly, and I had to have a replacement partner..." He started to explain until he was cut off by his sister.
"But I thought she and Troy..." she said out loud. Ryan realized what Camille was thinking about. Didn't Gabby and Troy like each other? They both thought.
"Troy?" Jeremy asked.
"I've gotta get going." Ryan got up. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." he told them and hugged Camille goodbye, then left.
"Phew." Brad collapsed onto the couch and put his feet onto the table. "I didn't think we could clean that fast."
"Haha, yeah, and I would still be cleaning if you hadn't helped. Thanks Brad."
"No problemo. Hmm, so what do you wanna do now?"
"Not sure, my parents shouldn't be back till tonight, and the guys still aren't back."
"Yeah." Brad said in agreement. Just then all the guys walked into the house.
"Hey guys." They both sat up from the couches they were laying on.
"Hey, how come you guys didn't stay?" Jason asked as hetook a seat next to Troy, as the other guys filled the empty spaces on the couch as well. Just then Ryan walked in.
"Hey guys." Ryan greeted.
"Oh, uh, we just thought we should really clean the house before my parents got home. It was a real mess."
"We would've helped you know." Chad stated.
"Yeah, well, we just thought it would be a good idea if we got it done just in case if my parents came home early or something." Troy said.
"Yeah, well I should get going. I still have to work on some homework to finishbefore school tomorrow." Zeke said.
"Us too." Chad, Ryan, and Jason said. The guys gathered there things and started to leave.
"See you guys tomorrow."
"Yeah, later!" Chad said.
"Bye" Zeke and Jason waved as the walked out the door.
"Hey, do you guys wanna help me with my math homework?" Chad asked outside"We can all go to my house."
"Yeah, if Ryan helps me with my French." Jason said turning to Ryan.
"Only, if Zeke teaches me how to bake his famous cookies." Ryan said looking at Zeke.
"Haha, alright, but you have to help me catch up in history." Zeke turned to Chad
"Hah, alight, my house it is." Chad said as he opened his car door. They all drove off to Chad's house and called their parents to tell them what their plan was. Their parents had no problem with it since they were all getting help for their homework, except for Ryan, but his parents weren't back from their trip yet. When they got to Chad's house, his parents were still at work, so they went into the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Hey, guys, in your opinion, how much would you say he liked Gabriella?" Ryan asked.
"Why? Don't tell me you've got something for Gabby..." Chad said.
"No, no it's not like that at all. Camille and I are going out remember?"
"Yeah. I forgot, it was just the way your question was stated I guess. Anyways, I think he'd be into basketball like he was before we met Gabby, but ten times more into it." Chas said as he took a drink from his soda.
"Troy's got it bad for Gabby, man." Zeke said
"Yeah, let's just say Troy would choose Gabby over any girl in New Mexico. Wait no, probably the world. That's how much he likes Gabby."
"Yeah, I get your point" Ryan sighed.
"Why do you ask anyways?" Zeke asked.
"Well, did you guys know that she has a boyfriend already?" Ryan said with a serious face.
"What!" They all shot looks at Ryan.
"Who!" Chad exclaimed.
"Jeremy, Camille's brother."
"How is that possible? How'd you find this out?" Chad demanded.
"Well, when we got to the park, we were earlier than you guys, and Camille asked if Jeremy could come along, so I said yeah. And when we saw the girls at a table we went to go join them, and we introduced Jeremy to them, but Gabby already knew him. I went over to their house for a little while when I dropped them off today. And Camille asked how Jeremy knew her. So he told us the story how they met at a math convention, and they were partners, they became a couple, and yeah. Once I heard that I got up and left because I wanted to tell Troy." Ryan explained the story.
"Are you sure?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, that's what I heard from his mouth." Ryan said.
"Well, there has to be some kind of mistake." Zeke added.
"There's no way Gabriella would act like this with Troy if she had a boyfriend already. I mean she's way too sweet for that. She wouldn't string guys liek that.She and Troy kissed!" Chad nearly shouted.
"I know. I'm just telling you what I heard." Ryan held his hands up in a surrendering position.
"I guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow to see what's going on exactly." Zeke calmly said.
"You're right. We shouldn't over think this, and make a big deal until we know everything." Chad agreed. "We should start our homework before you guys have to go."
All the guys agreed to wait until they knew everything before jumping to conclusions. But right now they were only concerned about Troy, and their homework that they needed to finish.
"We should get going." Kelsie said. "I've still gotta help Sharpay study for French back at my house."
"Yeah, hopefully I won't fail this test." Sharpay said grabbing her things. "Good luck with Marty's mom and everything. Tell him we say 'bye'"
"Be safe you guys. See you tomorrow!" Kelsie said and walked out the door.
"Toodles!" Sharpay said as she left.
"I think we should head over to Marty's house." Taylor suggested. "before it gets late."
"Yeah." Gabriella nodded in agreement. "I'll go wake him up."
"Good, I'll call his house just to make sure."
"Alright." Gabriella headed upstairs to wake Martin up, and get him ready while Taylor called his mom.
"Hey, Grace?" Taylor spoke.
"Yes, this is Grace." her voice said on the other end of the line.
"Hi, it's Taylor. I was wondering if me, Martin, and a friend of mine could drop by to talk to you for a bit."
"Oh, Hi Taylor! Uhm, yeah that's fine. My boyfriend is working a little late today anyways. Is there something wrong with Martin?"
"No, no it's nothing like that. We just wanted to talk to you about something, and we thought it'd be best if it was in person."
"Oh, okay. So what time will you guys be over?"
"Uhm, well we were thinking about right now if that's okay?"
"Yeah, that would be best, you know just in case."
"Alright, we'll see you in about ten minutes."
"See you."
"Bye." Taylor hung up her phone, just as Martin and Gabriella came marching down the stairs.
"So...?" Gabriella lead on.
"She said right now would be a good time." Taylor answered her.
"Great. Let's get going." Gabriella said grabbing her keys, and jacket. They all filed out the door just as Mrs. Montez was coming home from the grocery store.
"Hey you three, where you heading off to?" Mrs. Montez asked.
"We're gonna go to Martin's house really quick to talk to his mom." Gabriella informed her. Mrs. Montez gave her an unsure look, but then looked down at the driveway where Martin and Taylor were getting into Gabriella's car.
"Alright, just be careful sweetie. Call me if anything happens." Her mother said with a demanding motherly voice and kissed her daughter on her forehead.
"Yes, mom. Don't worry, you know me." Gabriella smiled. Her mother understood what Gabriella was trying to say. She knew that she was trustworthy, responsible, and mature. "We'll be back soon." Gabriella called back to her mother as she ran to her car. Once she started her car, Mrs. Montez walked inside to put the groceries away.
Mmkay, yeah. There it is. This was kinda just a bunch of fluff to me again, just to get to the point where i'ma end this. Next chapter is the last i think? Lots will be happening but it'll all tie in together. And i'm not sure if the sequel will come out right after this ends since i have a lot to work on. but yeah, i'll try. OH. & about my other story i've been working on, i had to start it over just because i wanted to get some facts straight since its about the REALpeople(zac, ashley, vanessa, lucas, etc.) and stuff.
