Hey everyone! Thanks for reviewing! This chapter is also pretty short, but I promise that the next one will be long!
Chapter 4
The next day at school as they were in the bathroom during their free period, Gabriella told her friend Sharpay all her worries about Taylor. Sharpay understood because she was also concerned for Taylor. She didn't want Taylor to be in a relationship like that.
"I just don't know what to do," Gabriella told Sharpay.
"Just be her friend," Sharpay replied. "That's all you can do. If she needs your help or Troy's, she'll tell you."
"Yeah, I guess," she said disappointed.
"Is there something else wrong, Gabi?" Sharpay asked.
Gabriella sighed. Sharpay had really turned out to be a great friend after Gabriella had transferred to East High. She wasn't the diva that everyone thought she was. Deep down, Sharpay was totally down to earth. She was just acting like a diva to get a little attention. Her home life wasn't all that great at the time. Her parents were virtually ignoring her and her twin, Ryan. It was better now, because her parents are now trying to be normal parents. Also, Sharpay doesn't want as much attention because Zeke, her boyfriend, gives her plenty of it.
"I got grounded last night," Gabriella responded to Sharpay's question.
"Really? Why?" Sharpay asked her friend.
"I was late getting home from Troy's."
"Oh," Sharpay said.
"Yeah. My mom totally flipped out, so I'm grounded for a month."
"Wow. Parents can be harsh sometimes."
"Tell me about it."
"Will you still be able to go to the championship game at West next week?" Sharpay asked.
"Omigosh! I completely spaced about that!" Gabriella exclaimed. "I don't know if my mom will let me go!"
"You could sneak out," Sharpay suggested.
"Oh no. I couldn't do that. My mom would then go totally mental on me."
"Does your mom still have that boyfriend of hers?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah, she and Liam are still going out. Why?"
"Do you know when they are going out again?"
"Friday," she responded. "Why do you ask?"
"Well…" Sharpay said slyly. "While she's out, you could go to the game and she'd never know you were gone."
"Are you kidding me?" Gabrielle exclaimed. "Do you know how much trouble I'd be in if I got caught?"
"If you get caught."
"Well…I don't know. If you guys promise to have me home by midnight, then I'll go!"
"Deal!"
"Okay," Gabriella replied.
"And while we're at the game, we can get Taylor to drop Chad!" Sharpay added excitedly.
"Um…okay," Gabriella added hesitantly. Just then the bell for the next period rang.
They then left the bathroom and went to their next period.
