Hi guys. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while it's just that I've been thinking of ideas for this chapter. I am not going to give anything away but I will tell you that I was originally planning to make this story end in 2 more chapters but I decided to make it longer. Well I hope you enjoy. Oh yea remember when I said you might need tissues for this chapter well you don't need them for this chapter but for the next chapter you will need them lol.

Chapter 5:

Troy watched Gabi walk away. He could not say anything because he knew whatever he said wouldn't help. Even though Troy still loved Gabi she will never know. For days Troy was quiet. He did not talk to anyone, especially not Chad.

Troy was becoming more independent. Ever since the incident with Gabi he has not been the same. Next week was another game for wildcats. It wasn't a championship game but it was important because college scouts were going to be there and of course Jack wanted Troy to be focused. Jack was worried when he noticed Troy's behavior in the court.

Instead of making every shot like Troy always did he was missing every shot and instead of getting angry like Troy usually gets when he misses a shot he just simply picked up another ball and just shot it with a plain face.

"Troy what's wrong"

asked Jack upset but not letting it show.

"What do you mean?" asked Troy pretending as if he didn't know.

"I mean lately you have shown no effort in your practices you know college scouts are going to be in our next game right?"

Asked Jack furious. Troy just simply shrugged and said

"so I don't care".

Jack fumed "What do you mean you don't care? Do you even know how much it cost to get in one of the best basketball colleges? I am very disappointed that you are treating your dreams so carelessly"

said Jack pouring his anger out. Troy could not take it anymore

"Is all that you care about basketball? Do you even care about how I feel, I bet you don't know that I don't even want to go to a basketball college, I don't even like basketball anymore because you take the fun out of it you make it seem as if it's part of life but get one thing straight, It's just a game"

said Troy while slamming the door on his way out of the gym. Jack stood baffled he could not believe his son just said that to him he really felt bad.

Troy was furious everything was going bad he lost the love of his life, he lost the love for basketball and he just told off his dad. This just was not going good for Troy.

Gabi walked home she was still sad from the incident with Troy. She could not believe herself for not talking him back but she decided that she needed someone else, someone sweet, someone who would never hurt her.

Gabi thought that was impossible though because she knew all guys are probably the same. Gabi walked home crying she was so miserable and confused. Troy walked through the halls of east high still upset. He decided he was going to go home because right now all he wanted to do was sleep and let all the troubles fade away in his dreams.

The next day:

Troy some how managed to get through the first half of the day perfectly. He went downstairs to lunch hoping he could just get it over with so he could finally go home. Gabi found an empty spot at the back of a table. She was still sulking.

She was minding her own business when a guy sat next to her. Gabi was about to get up thinking it was Troy but when she faced him it was Ryan.

" Oh hey Ryan"

said Gabi trying to sound cheerful.

" Hey Gabi I've noticed you have been sitting by yourself for days so I decided to come and give you company" said Ryan smiling.

Ryan had liked Gabriella ever since she came to East High but never had the guts to tell her. Ryan didn't Gabi as much as Troy but yeah he liked her.

" Thanks Ryan" said Gabi smiling.

"No problem I'm always here if you need me" said Ryan grinning.

"I am glad you are such a good friend" said Gabi.

She looked up when she saw footsteps coming toward her. She looked at the face who was Troy looking at Gabi while coming towards her. Without realizing Gabi put her arms around Ryan's neck and kissed him on the lips...
