Chapter 2

Troy was walking out of the lockeroom of the U of A gym and walked outside. He stopped when he saw Annie standing by a fountain. She looked alive, and beautiful. Her blonde hair was past her shoulders, her green eyes were bright, her white skin was a little tan. She looked at him then started walking down the sidewalk away from him and the parkinglot. He ran after her and followed her. She looked back at him then walked faster and turned a corner around the a next building. Troy ran an turned the corner seeing no one there. He sighed and turned around.

His phone rang and he answered it.

"Hello?" Troy said sighing.

"She's lying to you." it was Annie.

"What are you talking about?" he said he looked at his phone and saw that she had hung up. He rolled his eyes then walked to his car and started driving home. His phone rang again this time it was Gabriella.

"Hey baby." he says. "Troy.." Gabriella said sounding like she was crying. "W-What's wrong?" "There's been an accident." she said.

"What, a-are you okay?"

"Chad is in the hospital."

"What!" he says. "Where are you?"

"I'm at home." she says. "With Renzo."

"W-Well, I'll see you in a bit." he says. He hangs up and continues driving. He gets to their building and goes to the penthouse. He sees Gabriella standing by the window looking out on Alburqurque holding Lorenzo who's blue eyes where wide and his hands touch the glass. He laughs and points at bird. Gabriella laughs then sniffles.

"A bird." she says quietly. Gabriella craddles him. "Where's daddy?"

"Right here." Troy says. Gabriella squeaks and sees him.

"You scared me." she says sighing.

"What happened in the accident?" he asks.

"Um, I don't know. Sharpay said that he was at gym. Then he left the gym and was driving home and someone ran him off the road. She thinks it was on purpose."

"How was your day?" he asks.

"Fun, me and Renzo went on a walk through the park and we visited Grandma and Grandpa Montez didn't we?" she says cooing at her baby. "I made you some food it's on the stove."

"You cooked." Troy says.

"Yes, Troy. I cooked." she laughs and kisses him. Troy takes Lorenzo out of her arms and walks into the kitchen. Then little boy grabs Troy's ear then nose looking at him curiously. He laughs at Troy and then pokes his eye laughing.

"Ow!" he says and Lorenzo laughs again but harder. "Brie!" he calls out. "Gabriella!" he walks upstairs and sees Gabriella looking at her phone screen. "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing." she says. Locking her phone smiling. "I-I was just looking...at nothing nevermind." she shakes her head.

"Gabriella." Troy sighs. Lorenzo lets out a cry then starts crying hysterically. Gabriella takes Lorenzo from him and looks at him.

"I should feed him." she says and walks out of the room.

He sees Gabriella's phone and he picks it up. He turns on the screen and he sees it locked. He puts the password in then it opens up. He goes to her messages then sees the text from Annie. He chokes and Troy walks down the hallway.

"B-Brie." he says. "She's threatening you."

"Yes, why are you going through my phone." she says breastfeeding Lorenzo, she looks up at him.

"Why is she threatening you." he asks.

"I-I don't..." she sighs. "I-I don't know." she says and Troy looks at her knowing she's lying.

"You're lying." he says. Gabriella tears up and looks down.

"I-I need to burp him, then he's going to fall asleep for his nap." she says dismissing him. Putting her boob back in her bra and pulling shirt down. She picks Lorenzo up and puts his head at her shoulder. Troy leaves the room closing the door on his way out then puts Gabriella's phone down. It rings and he sees the text on the screen.

We need to talk, ASAP! -Brendaaaaa

He chuckled seeing the text from Brenda and goes down the stairs back to the kitchen to eat the pasta Gabriella made for him. Then leaves for the hospital.

...

Sharpay walked up to Brenda seeing her at the food court of the mall. "Hey." she says.

"Can I help you?" Brenda asks her rudely.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Sharpay, has it ever occured too you that people change." she asks.

"Well yea-"

"So if I say that I don't like the person you changed into, you don't have anything to get mad at because it's your fault."

A boy walks over to them and Sharpay recognizes him to be the Frat President of a Fraternity at U of A. A girl follows behind and she scoffs seeing Sharpay.

"I didn't know you let anyone sit with you?" the girl says.

"She just invited herself, this is a private party." the boy says.

"Bre-"

"I don't even know who you are anymore, Sharpay." Brenda says sighing. "You're not the same person anymore."

"W-What?" Sharpay says. She gets up and walks away. She sees Brenda talking to the boy and the girl smiling. Brenda looks up at her and gives her a smirk. Sharpay leaves the mall and gets in her car.

...

Zeke was in his culinary class working on a fish taco dish for his first assignment: seafood dishes. He heard someone talking.

"My name is Annie." the voice says quietly. He looks up and looks around the room. "I just graduated this year. Yes it's Annie Johnson." He continues looking around the room but sees no one talking but cooking quickly. He shakes his head.

"Taylor Mckessie tried to kill me." His head shoots up and he looks around the room again. "But she didn't succeed." He gasps and continues to look around the room "I've been alive the whole time." He hears her say he looks up and sees Annie sitting at the desk at the front of the room smirking at him. He looked at his fish in the fryer the looked up seeing Annie gone. His phone rings and he answers it.

"Hello?"

"I've been alive the whole time, Mr. Baylor. I know everything you did or wanted to do. Watch your back." Annie says then hangs up.

Annie isn't alive, she's dead. Taylor killed her. They threw her body in the ocean. There's no way she's alive right now. He shook his head and turn off his phone taking the battery out. His phone started ringing again. He answered it.

"H-Hello?"

"This is the beginning of the end." Annie says once then hangs up.

He froze the put his phone in his bag and leaving the battery in his pocket. He wasn't going through this again. He was done.
