Chapter 5: Another Day, At Sharpay's

Gabriella heard the doorbell ring. "I got it!" she yelled. "Hey Troy!"

"Hey honey, you ready to go?"

"If you're with me, I'm ready," Gabbi said flirtatiously. They both walked two blocks silently.

"So, did you have a good sleep?" Troy asked Gabbi.

"Yea, pretty good. You?"

"Lonely, but good." Troy smiled and Gabbi giggled. Troy put his arm around her waist and gave her a small peck on the lips. They finally reached Sharpay's house. They went in the backyard to see Sharpay lounging in a lounge chair reading a magazine.

"Did you both bring your swimsuits?" Sharpay asked.

"Yep," They both said at the same time. They went to go change. Gabriella got out first.

"Hey Gabbi!" Jessica shouted at her and ran up to her. "Where's Troy?"

"Changing. Why do you care so much?"

"Just curious." Troy came out. Jessica ran up to him. "Hey, I'm Jessica!" She said as she shook his hand.

"Troy," he replied. "Lovely to meet you," Gabbi glared at her. Troy broke free from Jessica's grip and went over to Gabbi. "Now I know what you mean..." Troy said as he looked Gabbi in the eye.

"Yeah." They all went into the hot tub. Ryan soon came out and joined in.

"So, how are the two lovebirds?" Sharpay asked. Troy leaned in and gave Gabbi a kiss.

"Fine, just fine." Gabbi said gazing into Troy's lovely eyes.

"Well, I guess that says it all. Zeke should be here any minute," Sharpay chimed in.

"Really? I didn't know he was coming," Troy replied.

"Yup, I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, no, it's fine,"

"Troy, I need to ask you something. Follow me." Jessica said. Troy shrugged and got out. She followed him around a corner. Gabbi and Ryan were suspicious so they followed them in a sneaky way. Jessica pinned Troy up against a wall and kissed him. All of it happened so fast that he didn't stop her. He couldn't. He didn't know what to expect. Just then, Gabriella and Ryan stopped right in their tracks.

"Jessica!" Ryan said in shock.

"Troy?" Gabbi said with tears in her eyes. "How could you?" Gabbi walked away and got her stuff. Troy pushed Jessica off her and ran after Gabbi.

"Sweetie! I can explain," Gabbi ignored him and walked to the fence.

"What's going on?" Sharpay shouted. No one answered. Gabbi walked out through the gate and started walking home. Troy got his stuff and ran after her.

"Gabbi! Listen to me!" She stopped and he ran up to her. "I didn't know that Jessica was going to do that. Please believe me!" Troy pleaded. "I love you! Not her. I don't even know her!"

"Oh really, well then why didn't you stop her!" Gabbi cried.

"It all happened so fast! I didn't know she was going to do that!"

"Oh, well because by the time Ryan and I got there, you would have been kissing for a bit longer."

"Gabbi! I told you that I didn't expect it."

"You had time to push her off you!" Gabriella started crying.

"I LOVE YOU! NOT HER! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!" Troy cried. He almost started crying.

"I'm sorry Troy, I am! Just, give me time," she cried. Troy started to cry. Troy gave her a kiss. Gabbi turned away and started crying harder. She was sad. She couldn't believe Troy did that. Even if it was just an accident. She just needed time to get over it. She started walking, still crying. Troy was still standing there watching her walk away.

"SO THIS IS IT!" Troy yelled. "WE'RE OVER! JUST LIKE THAT!" No Answer. "I STILL LOVE YOU, AT LEAST REMEMBER THAT!" Troy felt hurt and guilty. He walked back to Sharpay's. He saw Jessica and Ryan arguing. Troy went through the gate and back. When Jessica and Ryan were finished, Troy went up to her. "You happy! Are you happy Jessica about what you just did! You just made me lose the love of my life! Why would you do this!" Troy shouted at her.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled as tears were streaming down her face. "Okay? I'm sorry. I guess I got to obsessed with you."

"But you don't even know me!" He shouted again.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry." she repeated over and over again still crying. Troy turned in frustration.

"Bye Sharpay, thanks for inviting me, but I'm going home."

"Oh, okay," Sharpay sighed. Troy lonely walked back home. He walked through his front door, with tears streaming his face.

"What's wrong, honey?" His mother said as he ran upstairs. He didn't answer and he slammed his door. He sat on his bed, hands on his head. He looked up and saw a picture of Gabbi on his dresser. He picked up the frame with the picture in it and stared at it.

"I'm sorry sweetie," He said to the smiling picture. He put it back down and lied down on his bed.
