Troy stomped into the gym and seeing it was only Chad and himself, he bared his fangs. "DANFORTH!" He hissed/yelled.

Chad stopped and turned to look at his best friend. "Hey, Hoops!"

"Don't you 'Hey, Hoops!' me!" He hissed. "You threatened to kill my girlfriend! She told me EVERYTHING! Best friend my ass! You're NOT my best friend. Let alone just friend. Not unless you apologize and start actually being nice to her. Taylor too."

"Dude! I only wanted her to help me with my homework!"

"No, you wanted her to do it FOR you. And you called her a geek AND a loser again. I have HAD it! You threaten to kill her and you're dead. I am PISSED right now at you, Chad. If you threaten to kill Gabriella again, I WILL kill you. And I won't hesitate. Don't call me ever again unless you've decided to be nice and change your ways. And only address my as Captain ONLY my friends can call me Troy."

"Fine. I guess we're no longer friends." The curly-haired black boy replied.

Troy then thrust Chad's homework at him and stormed out of the gym to go and find the girls.


In the library, the girls were reading after finishing their homework. The library door burst open and they turned to see Troy. Gabriella got up and went to hug him. "What happened, Wildcat?"

As he felt her arms go around him, he visibly relaxed and hugged her back. "I told Chad off. I told him we're not friends anymore unless he changes his ways and is nice to both you and Taylor. I also told him not to call me again until he does and if he ever threatens to kill you again, I won't hesitate to kill him."

"What do you mean?" She asked pulling away to look at him.

"Lets go to my place and I'll tell you everything. I haven't been completely honest with you since we've met."

Taylor and Eve heard grabbing their's and Gabby's stuff. They walked over. "Neither have we. Lets go home." They said in unison.

Gabriella nodded and they went to get permission to go home a little early.
