A/N: Thanks to pinklonghorn239 and lol925 for reviewing! I haven't been getting many reviews the last couple chapters. I think my writing has been kind of getting blah-ish. But maybe after I finish this story, I can rewrite it and make it better. Well here you go. Sorry it's so short!
Chapter 9: Forgiving
The next day at school Troy tried talking to Gabriella, but once again she avoided him. He saw Taylor talking to her, but Gabriella just shook her head and walked away. Taylor saw Troy and walked over.
"She's doesn't want to talk to you."
"I know that, but I don't know why!"
"Because she saw you and Sharpay together at the pizza parlor yesterday."
"We were just hanging out! She's going out with Zeke; you know I would never do anything like that to one of my friends." People were starting to listen into their conversation.
"I know, but it's just that she knows Sharpay has feelings for you and you know."
"Why would she think that..." The bell rang and both of them ran into homeroom...late.
"Mr. Bolton, Miss McKessie you're late. That'll be detention for you after school," Mrs. Johnson said to them as they walked in. They both groaned and took a seat, Troy in the back next to Chad, and Taylor's on the other side of Chad. During the announcements, Troy stole a couple of glances at Gabriella who was pretending be reading a book. Troy knew she was pretending because she had been on the same page for the last five minutes. He thought about how he would get her to talk to him alone. She wasn't really talking to anybody...except Ryan.
Troy quickly took his phone out of his pocket and hid it under his desk. He texted a message to Ryan.
Ryan, who was sitting a couple seats away, next to Sharpay, felt his phone vibrating. When Mrs. Johnson wasn't looking, he took his phone out. He had a text from Troy. He opened his phone and quickly read it.
Hey ryan, do u think u can get gabi 2 talk 2 me?
From: Troy
SEP 10, 8:15am
He quickly texted him back.
I'll see wat I can do.
Then he opened a new text and sent a text to Gabriella.
Hey gabi, we need 2 talk after class
Ryan sent it and a second later a loud "DING!" filled the room. Everyone started turning around and looking at their phones. Gabriella quickly took out her phone to turn it off, when she looked up she saw Mrs. Johnson.
"Miss Montez, phone?" She held out her phone and Gabriella reluctantly gave it up. "Detention, after school."
"Miss Evans, Mr. Evans phone and detention." The bell rang and everyone filed out of the room quickly. As everyone got out Gabriella caught up with Taylor.
"I can't believe we all got detention, again! Ugh! My mom's going to be really mad at me. By the way, do you know who sent me that text?" Taylor had an idea, but she didn't think that Gabriella really needed to know.
"No clue," she lied.
"Ok, well I'll see you later." Gabriella turned the corner and walked off to class. Taylor was going to go and find Troy again, but decided against it. She couldn't be late for class again.

It was lunch, and once again Lexi and Jackson were sitting by themselves at a table. In the middle of their conversation Troy came and sat down next to Lexi.
"Hey Lex!" He said casually as he sat down.
"What do you want Troy?"
"I was just wondering if we could, you know, talk?"
"Um...no," she replied shaking her head. Troy grabbed her arm and pulled her into the hallway where Gabriella was talking to Ryan. In the middle of her sentence, she stopped.
"Ryan, can we go somewhere else to talk, I'm not feeling very comfortable right now," Gabriella started to walk away, but Ryan stopped her.
"Look, Gabriella you really need to listen to Troy, you too Lexi." Both of them sighed, but gave up.
"Ok, Gabriella, nothing happened between me and Sharpay. Lexi was going to the pizza parlor with Jackson, and you know after what you told me, I didn't really trust them together, alone. Sharpay was right there and so I just asked her. We're just friends. Like you and Ryan are just friends." Troy turned to Lexi. "Lexi, you're my little sister and I don't want you to get hurt again. I mean I don't trust that kid Jackson." Lexi just stared at him. "Ok, and I'm sorry for spying on you guys." She continued staring. "And I promise never to spy on you again." She was still upset with him, but she decided to forgive him.
"Do you guys forgive me?" Troy asked the two girls.
"Yes, and I'm sorry for thinking that something was going on between you and Sharpay," Gabriella said before giving him a kiss on the lips. After they pulled away he turned to Lexi who was still standing there thinking.
"I guess so," she shrugged.
"Great! Now who wants to go to a movie after school tomorrow? My treat."
