Keeping a Secret
The Realization
Rating: Teen
Troy and Gabriella laid there peacefully asleep when the phone rang.
"You have got to be kidding me," she groaned.
She reached over Troy and grabbed the phone, "this better be important," she groaned.
"Gabriella?"
"Chad?" she popped up.
"Yeah, its me," he said calmly, "is Troy there?"
"Yeah, but he is still asleep," she responded.
"Okay can you just tell him I called," he asked.
"Yeah sure," she replied.
"Thanks," he said and hung up the phone, as did Gabriella. She draped herself over Troy and fell back asleep.
Chad walked over to the table where he and his friends were eating brunch.
"What did Troy say?" Taylor asked.
"Nothing I talked to Gabi, he is still asleep," he said.
"Okay," Taylor said letting it go.
Sharpay looked up from her menu Oh my god!, "Chad did Gabriella sound tired when you called?" she said in a shaky tone.
"Yeah, she was half asleep," he said looking confused.
"And what line did you call?" she said in a nervous tone again.
"His," he replied.
"Oh my god," she said quietly.
"Sharpay, what is going on?" Zeke asked.
"You guys, Troy and Gabriella are hooking up." They all looked at her shocked and confused.
"What?" Ryan exclaimed.
"Think about it! His line only rings in his room! She was sleeping in his bed!" she exclaimed.
"She is right," Zeke said.
"So she was sleeping in his bed, they are best friends, what is the big deal?" Taylor asked.
"Taylor, what time does Gabriella usually wake up?" Sharpay asked.
"Like 9," she replied.
"Yeah, and Chad said she sounded tired so she must have been up late doing something," Sharpay replied.
"They could have been watching a movie," Taylor said in denial.
"Come on Taylor, when was the last time she chose to sleep at your house instead of Troy's?" Sharpay asked and Taylor was silent. "That is what I thought. And the hickey that was from Troy!"
"She said it was a curling iron burn," Ryan said.
"Oh come on that is the oldest excuse in the books! And remember girls how we were talking about Troy and she was silent?" Sharpay said and Kelsi and Taylor nodded.
"And we were talking about Gabi and Troy was silent and uncomfortable," Chad looked at Sharpay and paused, "Oh my god!" he screamed and Sharpay nodded.
"Come on it is Troy and Gabriella, they have known each other since they were babies, they are like brother and sister," Ryan said.
"In recent developments, it seems to be they are a lot more than that," Sharpay said.
"I agree with Ryan, it couldn't be." Taylor said.
"Come on Tay, Sharpay is right, like Gabi was boy crazy always talking about her latest crush, when was the last time she did that?" Kelsi asked.
"Oh my god!" Taylor exclaimed, "Troy and Gabi are hooking up!"
"What do we do?" asked Kelsi and everybody thought for a second.
"Oh my god! I know" Chad exclaimed and everybody looked at him, "there was this one episode of Friends," everybody lightly laughed when they heard this, "what they are always re-running them, plus Jennifer Aniston is hot."
"Whatever you say man," Zeke laughed.
"Why don't you just go bake something," Chad shot back.
"Oh my god! I know this episode! The one where Phoebe and Rachel find out that Chandler and Monica are sleeping together, so they play tricks on them to get them to admit it! Chad you are a genius!"
"I know," he said leaning back in his chair.
"What tricks did they play on them?" Taylor asked.
"Chandler and Monica said they were going to go to laundry, so they gave them a whole bunch of laundry to do, things like that. And work Phoebe started hitting on Chandler, and he finally broke," Chad said.
"Sorry but I don't think any of us really want to hit on either Troy or Gabriella," Ryan said.
"We don't have to go that far, but do you get the idea?" Sharpay said and they nodded.
"So does any one have any ideas?" Kesli asked.
"I think I do," Sharpay said in a sneaky tone.
"What a surprise," Chad said sarcastically. Sharpay ignored his comment and they went to planning.
Please R&R…Not that much Troy/Gabi in this one but trust me the next one there will be!
