Tonight Big Brother and the Emmy's are on at the same time! Oh well, I'll find a way to watch both. hehe

The next night.

Darbus: Houseguests, please report to the living room now. It is time for the eviction ceremony to begin.

After everyone was seated, Ms. Darbus resumed. "In a few minutes, everyone will report to the diary room, one at a time. That is where you will confidentially reveal who you would like to see evicted from the house. The votes will be tallied and the person with the most votes will leave the house. Is that understood?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Good, now there are a few rules. Being the two nominees, Chad and Martha, you will not be allowed to vote. Also, as the current head of household, you will not be able to vote either. But in the event of a tie, your vote will decide who stays and who goes." Ms. Darbus informed them

Martha was fumbling with her fingers nervously but Chad stayed calm and collected.

"Voting begins now, will you please head to the diary room, one at a time." Ms. Darbus asked and they complied. "It's simple just say the name of the person you want to EVICT and then leave.

Alan: Chad.

Zeke: Martha.

Troy: Martha.

Cyndra: Chad.

Gabriella: Martha.

Jason: Martha.

Ryan: Martha.

Taylor: Martha.

And last, Sharpay: I vote to evict Martha.

Darbus: "Ok, thank you houseguests. The votes are in and by a vote of 7:2, the person who will be leaving us tonight is Martha."

Martha remained smiling. She had known that this would probably be the turnout. With a quick goodbye to everyone, she grabbed her bag and walked out the front door.

Darbus: "Kelsi, this is your last night as HOH. Tomorrow we will hold our next head of household competition and you will not be able to compete for this one. Although you may compete for future ones."

Kelsi nodded to show that she understood. She quickly walked back to her room. She knew that tonight was her last night to sleep in that bed for at least one week and probably even more.

Also, she wanted to play the keyboard because she knew this was her last chance. She began to play a piece she composed herself, called 'Breaking Free.' She let the music wash over her and all of her thoughts were just pushed away with the melody.

After she finished, she was turning off the keyboard when the sound of clapping startled her. She spun around on the bench to see Ryan grinning sheepishly.

"Gabriella was right. I should lock my door." Kelsi said glumly.

"But that was fantastic Kelsi! Anyway, Sharpay wants to discuss some strategy and she sent me to come get you." Ryan informed her.

"Ok, I'm going to go congratulate Chad and then I'll come, k?" Kelsi asked Ryan.

"Sounds good." He said and then left the room.

Kelsi found Chad at the pool. He was splashing around with Taylor, so Kelsi decided not to bother him.

Instead she went to the pool table and found Gabriella playing a round with Zeke. Troy and Jason were watching nearby.

"I play winner!" Troy called.

"Hey Kelsi, want to join next round?" Jason invited her.

"No thanks, I have to go." Kelsi left without saying goodbye and Jason just shrugged.

"So, do you two have a thing or not?" Troy asked Jason.

"I guess not, but I like toast." Jason said.

"Toast! What does that have to do with anything!" Troy laughed. He was cut off by a loud scream. He looked over to see Gabriella jumping around and Zeke smiling.

"I won! I finally won!" Gabriella cheered.

Troy ran over to her and lifted her off the ground, spinning her. He put her down and they embraced each other in a huge hug.

Letting go after he realized what he had done, Troy blushed and took a few steps back.

Gabriella tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear and turned away. Zeke walked up to her and shook her hand. "Good game."

"Thanks, you too." She smiled.

"Well, since Troy said he was going to play winner, Jason and I are going to go inside and play cards or something." Zeke said. He decided it would be best to leave her and Troy alone.

"Aww, but why? I wanna watch." Jason pouted.

"OWW!" Jason yelled when Zeke elbowed him in the ribs.

"Bye!" Zeke said as he dragged Jason inside.

Once again, Gabriella and Troy were left alone under the night sky. Chad noticed this from the pool and showed it to Taylor. Quietly, they got out of the pool and rushed inside.

They stood guard by the doors so nobody could interrupt the two. Chad decided to keep his promise to Gabriella and he wanted to make sure their time together was perfect.

After awhile, all of the houseguests gathered around the window. They were just watching Troy and Gabriella's game of pool. Taylor didn't think it was a good idea but Chad said it couldn't hurt.

Troy was winning throughout the entire game, but on his last shot, he shot the eight ball in on purpose.

"Oh man! I can't believe I lost! I was so close." Troy faked his disbelief. He looked at Gabriella and a smile spread across her face. He couldn't help but smile as well. She just seemed to glow. She was so beautiful.

"That's the second time I won today! I'm on a roll." She laughed. "I'm just kidding. You won in my book."

"Thanks, but unfortunately, in the rules of pool book, you won." Troy laughed. He loved being around her. She always knew how to make him smile and laugh.

Gabriella continued smiling. Just watching Troy made her happy. His boyish grin and his blue eyes seemed to twinkle in the moonlight. Sure it was cliché but it was true.

She just sat there, admiring his flawless features. Enjoying every moment with him.

From inside the house, everyone was rooting them on as if they were watching a movie in the theater.

When Troy leaned forward towards Gabriella, she wasn't paying attention. She was looking at the night sky instead.

He decided he didn't want to embarrass himself so he pulled away.

"Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl.
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame
Too bad, he's gonna miss the girl." Sharpay sang.

Kelsi bit her lip nervously. She really wanted this for Gabriella. She could tell they were meant to be together.

Back outside.

Gabriella turned to Troy, noticing his silence. She knew this was the perfect time to tell him how she felt about him but she was too shy. She knew it was her biggest flaw but she couldn't help it. It was just so frustrating.

As if reading her mind, Troy turned to her. He smiled slightly and began to lean in once again. Gabriella followed his lead but before closing her eyes, she happened to glance inside.

There were nine faces peering out the window, directly at them. Gabriella let out a small scream and stumbled backwards.

At first Troy felt rejected but he followed her horrified gaze and saw a bunch of heads ducking behind the curtains. Now he was mad. He was sick of the moment repeatedly being ruined.

Troy stormed into the house. "I can't believe you guys. I hope you were entertained because I have a feeling that nothing is going to happen now." He ran to the diary room and slammed the door.

"This is completely unfair. I can't say that it wasn't expected because it's totally typical of them. They can't mind their own business. Anyway, I feel really sorry for Gabriella. She's probably scarred for life. I don't think I can even look at her anymore. This game better be worth it because I'm totally ready to get up and walk out of this place. Anyway, I'm going to bed, hopefully I win that HOH tomorrow so I can get some revenge. You know, Get them scared."

Once again, the winner of HOH will be completely random. I'm going to use the same method as the first time so don't hate me if someone you don't like gets it ;)

By the way, I may not be able to update this story for a few days because tommorow is my last day of summer vacation. If I can get some typing done, then yay me lol. Always love the reviews : )
