High School Musical

Chapter 9
This time a woman in a mask was running out of the door. She was carrying something pink.
"Get back here!" Troy shouted chasing her
He ran into the lunch
"Food fights!" She shouted in an obviously artificial voice
"No!" Troy shouted
She kept running back and forth across the room under cover of flying food. Then Troy jumped at her and was hit with a ball of mashed potatoes in the face and knocked down. As he rushed at the mysterious women he was shocked to see her mask go up slightly and reveal a fleck of blonde hair then she dropped the pink thing she had been carrying onto a table and disappeared out the door. He tried to chase her but he was tripped by a fallen chair. The pink unidentified object was a comb. Of course in Troy's mind there was only one person capable of this.
Meanwhile at the Theatre
"Ryan what's wrong?" Gabriella asked walking towards him
"It's Jennifer and Sharpay I can't keep the two of them happy. Jennifer wants me to help her with her emotional issues. Sharpay wants me to sing and rehearse everyday all night long. I can't keep up and they're driving me mad!" He shouted
"Ryan the fact is we're talking about two girls you care about. Your girlfriend and your sister" she thought out loud
"Yeah, I just can't balance between the two of them." He said in distress
"Think about it Ryan what if you allocated time between the two of them?" she said
"What do you mean?" he asked quizzically
"Listen to me you could hang out with Jennifer and Sharpay at different times on different days." Gabriella explained more in depth
"They would never agree to that, Sharpay is too headstrong and Jennifer's too busy to keep up with another task." He interjected
"Trust me if they need you that much then they'll do this." She explained
"Ok now let's seeā¦
"Ryan where is your sister?" Troy shouted
"Dude calm down why are you yelling, and covered with food" Ryan asked
"I just chased your sister through the cafeteria and all over the school now where did she say she was going?'' Troy questioned him angrily
"Troy how many times do I have to tell you she didn't do it." Ryan argued back
"Think about it how much does she tell you now that you two are fighting? Ryan, just think about what you're saying." He said
"Shut up!" Ryan said punching him in the face
"Ryan!" Gabriella shouted
"You know what Troy I know that my sister didn't do this, and I'm going to prove it." He proclaimed
"She dropped her comb and ran and I saw blonde hair!" Troy snapped back walking away from him. "Gabi are you coming to help Chad?"
"Yes but we need to talk." She said walking ahead of him
In the hallway
"Troy I'm glad you didn't hit him back but why are you covered in food? And how can you just blame Sharpay for the set incidents?" She asked with her hand laced in his
"Well what am I supposed to think? Look at what she's done to us she almost got us expelled; she tried to stop us from auditioning, what else could she be capable of?" Troy asked bewildered
"I don't know but you need to let it go ok? Whether she did this or not we still owe it to her to give her the benefit of the doubt." She told him rather sternly
"Especially the doubt part." He muttered back
(In the cafeteria two hours later at 4th period lunch)
The cafeteria had been cleaned perfectly and the kids who had started the food fight were in detention n and Troy and Gabriella were talking with Chad and Taylor who sat as far from each other as possible in a joined effort to stay away from each other.
"Like I said, I know it was Sharpay I saw the hair and the comb." He declared pounding the table "But anyway Kelsey gave us this song and we wanted to know what you think of it."
"Ok just as long as I don't have to dance with him." Taylor said backing away even farther from him
You really love me
Troy/Gabriella: We never see what can be
Because of everything we can't see
Troy: Were always too afraid to look
Gabriella: Because were afraid of what we'll find
Troy: But it's just about you and me this time
Gabriella: I can see you and me this time
Both: We can't break away from each other
We never hide from each other
Gabriella: You take better care of me than my mother
Troy: You always stick with me like my father
Both: And as I can see you're always there for me
Please don't run away because I can see
That you really love me
So I won't let you go
Your love is the only one I can know
And with you I can grow
So the world can see it's all about you and me
(Taylor and Chad move closer towards each other)
It's in your eyes I can see
Everything's about you and me
Things are getting stronger
The feeling's taken over me
And now I believe miracles happen for you and me
You're there guiding me in all I do
And the truth is that I love you
(Chad and Taylor start to dance Troy and Gabriella smile at each other)
I can see past those crystal eyes
I'm filled with a great surprise
Because in those eyes I see that your love has captured me
Because I know with you I can be anyone I want to be
(Chad and Taylor kiss and so do Troy and Gabriella)
