Chapter 7: The Pizza Parlor
"Anyways I can take care of myself." Lexi said to the group. She walked away leaving them upset at the fact that she wouldn't listen to them. After P.E. she went to the library for her free period along with Jackson.
"Hey Lexi!" Gabriella had the same free period as her. "Can we talk?"
"Um...ok," she replied cautiously. "I'll be right back, Jackson." She got up and followed Gabriella to the other end of the library.
"What is it?"
"Ok, Troy told me he talked to you about..." Lexi cut her off.
"Yea, he talked to me about Jackson, but I don't get why everyone is worrying about me. I can take care of myself."
"Look, I know you can take care of yourself, but I just want you to be careful. When I lived in San Diego, I knew him and his friends weren't exactly the best people to hang out with, so be careful."
"I will." Lexi turned around and went back to the table she was at before with Jackson. They talked quietly at their table until the bell rang and they had to head to Spanish.
&&&
The rest of the day went by fairly quickly for Lexi. She liked talking to Jackson. He was really quiet, but he was funny. After their last period she had to go and find Troy to tell him she was going to the pizza parlor. She finally found him at his locker.
"Hey Troy, Jackson and I are going to the pizza parlor for a little bit. I can walk home from there. Ok?" She saw Troy looking at Jackson.
"I don't think it's a good idea. I mean you can't walk home. It'll be dark out," said Troy making up an excuse.
"Don't worry about it. I have my phone, it won't be that dark, and I'm not going to be alone." Troy needed another excuse. He heard a door close. He turned around and saw Sharpay come in and walk to her locker. He had an idea.
"Okay, but you better be home at five."
"I will!" She turned around and started talking to Jackson again. As soon as they left, Troy ran over to Sharpay who was at her locker looking at herself in the mirror.
"Hey Sharpay," he said as he reached her.
"What do you want, Bolton?" She replied harshly. Sure she was dating Zeke, but she still sort of had feelings for Troy, but nobody could know that.
"I was just...wondering if you would like to come with me to the pizza parlor."
She stopped what she was dong and looked at him. "Why? Where's your precious Gabriella?" He had no idea why he bothered asking Sharpay. She was just the first person he saw.
"Ok, you know what never mind." He started to walk away when she stopped him.
"Wait! I...guess I'm...kind of hungry, but this better not be some stupid prank or something." She slammed her locker shut and walked with Troy to his car. They both got in and drove to the parlor in silence. When they got to the pizza parlor, he walked in quickly, scanning the place for Lexi. She was sitting in the far corner at a table alone with Jackson sitting across from her. Troy pulled Sharpay to the counter to order a pizza, making sure his back was facing Lexi.
"So...Sharpay, what would you like?"
"Uhh...I'll just have a slice of cheese pizza I guess. Hey, look it's your sister."
"Oh...really?" he turned around quickly and turned back to Sharpay. "I didn't know she would be here." He looked away hoping she wouldn't notice that he was lying, but unfortunately she did.
"Troy, I've known you for like ever and you suck at lying."
"Ok, well yeah I knew my sister would be here, but I don't want her to be alone with that creep."
"That's that Jackson kid?" Troy nodded.
"I don't want her falling for another guy that's just going to hurt her." They picked up their pizzas and grabbed a booth a couple of seats away from Lexi and Jackson, making sure that they were facing Lexi's back. Troy took a menu and stood it up at the end of the table just in case Jackson recognized him or Lexi turned around. Neither Troy nor Sharpay could hear them their conversation, but Troy decided that they couldn't move closer, but seeing them was better than nothing. They continued eating their pizzas from behind the menu glancing at the other table when they were pretty sure that Lexi and Jackson waeren't looking.
&&&
"Hey Gabi, want to grab a bite at the pizza parlor? I'm starved!" Taylor, Gabriella, and the rest of the Scholastic Decathlon tea, had just ended their first meeting.
"Sure! I didn't eat lunch. I think if I don't eat something I'm going to faint!" she said dramatically placing her hand on her forehead before bursting out in a laughing fit with Taylor. Gabriella and Taylor both got into Taylor's car and drove to the pizza parlor. They went inside and saw a bunch of soccer players at on one side of the restaurant. On the other side only two tables were taken, one by Sharpay and...Troy! Gabriella walked over to the table that he was sitting at and knocked down the menu.
"Troy, what are you doing here with Sharpay?" Sure she trusted Troy, but why would he be here with her?
&&&
As soon as Lexi heard Gabriella say her brother's name, she turned around. Sitting only a couple tables away from her was her brother sitting there with Sharpay! She was in disbelief, how could he spy on her like this?
"I can't believe this!" She almost yelled to Jackson. Lexi marched over to Troy who was stuttering something to Gabriella.
"Troy! What are you doing here!"
