Gabriella's POV
"No No No! You aren't showing ANY emotion whatsoever! What happened to the Minnie and Arnold I saw yesterday? Or the Troy and Gabriella I saw at the callback!" Well maybe something happened to the Troy and Gabriella you saw at the callback! I thought. Ms. Darbus was yelling because both refused to show any feelings toward each other, whether it was in the musical or life…why did this music-al, as Ms Darbus calls it, have to be a romance! "Troy, Can't you at least tense down! Gabriella! Please just act like you want to be in his arms!" "BUT I DON'T MS DARBUS!" I said jumping off stage, this was just too much. I sat down in the very back of the auditorium. "Okay! Practice over! We only had ten mintues left anyway!" Ms Darbus Said stomping off very confused. Then Troy came to me. "Gabriella…" "Troy I can't do this, at least until we are both acting normal! You're always so tense and it makes me tense! I don't care if we have to kiss in the musical! As long as we're friends!" "Sorry, I'm just a little nervous, I'll do better tomorrow…I have to go…Basketball." I just realize what I just said, I have to KISS Troy in the muscial…oh my god, it's a good thing Ryan and Sharpay didn't get the part…
Troy's POV
Coach is rough today…he's not happy about having to change practice times because of the musical. "Hey Dude…whats up with you and Gabriella?" Chad asked me after a few suicides. I took a drink of water. "Nothing" "No come on dude, tell me" "I did…nothing" I took off to do some laps for the last twenty minutes of practice, leaving Chad standing there in awe. I finished two miles and decided I better take a shower. Afterwards I grabbed my bag and went back to the stage. Gabriella was still there. She was already working while Darbus was yelling her head off. "…Gabriella! Are you listening to me?" "Uh Hmm" Gabriella said nodding her head. Darbus saw me. "And where have you been?" She said. "Get up here and help Gabriella paint this!" I grabbed a brush and began to paint. I waited for Darbus to start her speech. "What I would like to know is what happened today?" Darbus began "You have not ever had a practice where you did this badly and tried your least! Troy! Since when did you get all tense with Gabriella? I thought you two were going out? And Gabriella…you have never acted as if you despised Troy before! What is going on!" None of us said anything, thinking that she was asking those things in a statement way. "Excuse me…I'm waiting." "I don't think…that any of t-that is any of y-your buisness!" Gabriella said as the clock striked eight. "Oh lookie there! It's eight" Gabriella said with a bit of additude. Then walked off.
Gabriella's POV
Teachers didn't have any right to know anything about our personal lives and I intended to keep it that way. I walked out of the school and noticed the sun was setting, it felt so weird being here so late. I got home and went in my room. I turned my phone on and saw I had a missed call. I checked my voicemail and heard 'Hey Gabi, its Jack, Hope you had a good detention today with Troy…Can't wait for tomorrow! Bye" How'd he get my number…who cares. I woke up tomorrow morning and put on a denim mini skirt and a white shirt that said, Stupid Blondes, Brains are for Brunettes! When I got to school Jack was waiting at my locker. "Hey Gabi, Got my message?" "Yes…I can't wait for tonight either. So I'll talk to you later" "Okay."
Troy's POV
I'm over our break up…I know that they have a date…but it doesn't bother me that much anymore. Its over, I just got to get used to it. I saw her coming my way. "Hey…I was thinking that it wasn't really fair how we were acting to Ms Darbus at practice but we should make it up to her…" "Yeah… me too." "Ok…So at practice tomorrow?" "Yeah." "hey I was thinking…did you want to come over to my house next week…as friends of course…but I still have your favorite game…" "Troy…how many times are you going to play Pac-man with me…you said it yourself… This Game is so old Gabi, why do you like it?" "But its still fun!" "Fine…but only for a little bit" "okay…"
Gabriella's POV
Next thing I knew…school was over. I went to my locker and Jack was there. We drove home in his truck and we decided to watch a couple of different movies. The first one ended and Gabriella was having a good time joking about what people wore or did and they began the second. It got boring fast and Jack kissed Gabriella, although she was a little shy, she continued to make out with him until it was time to go home.
Troy's POV
Today is Saturday…no school, no practices, basketball or singing, no homework, just time to rest and think. Gabriella should come over on Tuesday.
