((I have practice tonight so im gonna write this quick…I hope you've liked everything so far…R&R…you know the drill…and remember…a chargers victory on Sunday means lots of chapters so go chargers! Beat the knights…XOXO, Christine))

"I'm so sorry this happened to us, Troy," cried Gabriella. "I can't believe anyone would do anything like that."

"Some reporters would do anything to ruin people's lives," he replied playing with her hair. "I can't believe your ex threatened Katie. That's just so low."

"David never seemed like he would do something like that," said Gabriella. "It's just so unlike him." Troy kissed her and she kissed him back. "Let's just try to forget about this."

"Sounds like a plan." He kissed her again.

They laid down on his bed and he held her. The next thing they knew, there was a thunderstorm outside. It was 7:00 am, and there was a severe thunderstorm outside. Gabriella snuggled up close to him. It was Tuesday. Gabriella would be leaving on Sunday. "What time is your first class?" she asked him.

"Spanish at noon," he replied. "But I'm gonna skip. I also have Americas History at 3. I'm gonna skip that too. I have basketball, but I'm gonna skip that, too."

"Won't you get in trouble?" asked Gabriella.

"No," replied Troy. He shifted in his bed. "It's storming outside."

"I know," replied Gabriella.

"Well I guess I'd better protect you," mumbled Troy pulling her even closer to him. Gabriella kissed his cheek. She kept kissing and going down his neck onto his chest. "Mmm, that feels nice." He kissed the top of her head. A loud crash of thunder shook the house. Gabriella freaked a little bit. "Come here, Gabby." He pulled her into a sweet passionate kiss. She forgot about the thunder. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Chad's alarm clock went off. He smacked it and it stopped. "Shut that stupid thing off," Taylor mumbled. "I'm trying to sleep."

"Sorry, honey," he said kissing her. "I gotta get up. I'm gonna go work out."

"At 7:00 in the morning?" Taylor sounded disgusted.

"Yeah, then I have Spanish at noon. I gotta go wake up, Troy. I love you. See you later."

"Bye," Taylor rolled over and was instantly asleep.

Chad left the room and went to Troy's. He could hear somebody mumbling inside. He knocked and went inside not waiting for an answer. He walked in on Troy and Gabriella making out. He thought he walked in on more than that.

"Oops," Chad mumbled and tried to leave unnoticed.

"CHAD!" Troy yelled. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE? DON'T YOU KNOCK!"

"I did," replied Chad.

"But you didn't wait for an answer! Get out! I'm skipping everything today!"

"Okay, fine see you later."

"Sorry about that," Troy said to Gabriella. "He still sucks at his timing."

"Obviously," laughed Gabriella. Troy flipped on the T.V. He and Gabriella were singing on the T.V. Why were they singing on the T.V?

"It seems that Troy Bolton has another passion," said that Rosco reporter guy on the T.V. "Let's hope it isn't as fake as his basketball."

"What is wrong with that guy?" asked Troy. "Will he ever shut up?"

"Turn the channel, I don't care," replied Gabriella.

"Same here," Troy flipped the channel to MTV. His picture was on that channel too. It was a film of him and Gabriella singing Breaking Free.

(Gabriella:) Ohhhh
(Troy:) Ohhh, we're breaking free
(Gabriella:) So we're breaking free
(Troy: Nows the time)
Nows the time

To be all that we can be
To get to the place
(Both:)
Ohhhh, climbin'

If we're tryin'

(Gabriella:) Soarin'
Chorus #3:

Both of us breakin' free
Both:

Not a want, but a need
Gabriella:

More than you
Troy:

More than faith
More than hope
Troy:

So every one can see

Ohhh, in our very souls
Connected by a feeling

Can you feel it building

Chorus #1:

Strength to believe
But your faith it gives me strength
Both:

Til we're separate hearts
Creating space between us
Gabriella:

In a way that's different than who we are
You know the world can see us
Troy:

So we're breaking free
If we're trying
Gabriella:

That we can't reach
There's not a star in heaven
We're soarin', flyin'

Troy had already flipped the channel. "Who gave them those tapes?" asked Troy. "I didn't even know there were tapes of these." He flipped back to MTV for a second. Someone they knew was being interviewed. This same someone betrayed them for money. This someone was no other than Sharpay Evans herself.

"Oh know," said Gabriella.
