Chapter 4 – You have the part
"Well you will have to promise me that you will not tell anyone" said Gabriella.
"I promise." Said Mrs. McWilliams.
"I'm pregnant"
"Congratulations, how far?" asked the teacher.
"2 months. I will tell people at the right time but not yet."
"You know that you can always come to me for advice." Offered Mrs.McWilliams
"Thank you Mrs. I'm going to go to break now."
"Ok bye"
In her break time, Gabriella went and found Kelsi who was in the auditorium with Mrs. Mrs.Darbus.
Gabriella went up to Kelsi.
"Hi Kelsi. What are you doing?"
"I was just about to find you because I wanted to show Mrs.Darbus the song that I composed and you sang it. It was for the show, and was called Sing with Your Heart." Said Kelsi.
"Oh yeah, I can remember it. Do you want me to sing it?" asked Gabriella.
"Yes please."
Kelsi called Mrs.Darbus over and begun to play.
After they had finished
"Kelsi that song is brilliant for the next musical. Brava." Praised Mrs.Darbus.
"Thank you." Replied Kelsi.
"As for you Miss. Montez, you have an amazing voice and fits with this song, but because this is not an upbeat song, Miss. Evans will not be able to sing it correctly. So can you be in the lead role in the next musical?" said Mrs. Darbus.
"Thank you and yes" replied Gabriella.
Sharpay had over heard the whole conversation that went on in the auditorium, and got angry.
Everyone except Gabriella left the auditorium and Sharpay walked in with Ryan.
"Gabriella!!!" Sharpay shouted in a frustrated voice. "You bitch! You made Mrs.Darbus choose you instead of me for the next musical!!!!!"
"Sharpay, I did not!" Gabriella protested.
"Sharpay calm down!" Ryan shouted even though he was standing right next to her.
"Why should I? She stole my place!"
"Sharpay I haven't done anything!" replied Gabriella.
Sharpay punched Gabriella in the stomach and crashed to the floor in pain.
"Ryan….call the….ambulance" Gabriella said in between breaths.
"You don't need an ambulance. I didn't punch you that hard." Sharpay replied.
"You don't understand" Gabriella said as she clutched her stomach. "You might have killed my baby!"
"Huh?" the twins were confused.
"I'm 2 months pregnant!!!"
"OMG Gabriella I'm really sorry!!!" cried Sharpay.
"Just call the paramedics" Gabriella gasped as she was in pain.
Ryan called the paramedics as Sharpay comforted Gabriella.
"You have to promise not to tell anyone, ok?"
"Ok" the twins both said.
"Gabriella, why won't you tell anyone, they won't befriend you just for this." Said Ryan.
"I just want to tell everyone in my own time."
The ambulance arrived and Gabriella was lifted onto a wheelchair and taken to hospital. Ryan went home in Sharpay's pink car.
The doctor did some tests on Gabriella, who was sitting on the bed with Sharpay next to her in the chair.
"Sharpay, can we be friends instead of enemies please?
"Yep. I am really sorry for all of those times I was nasty to you."
"It's ok."
"By the way, I am completely over Troy. I've got my eyes on another hottie."
"Who?" asked Gabriella.
"Zeke, by the way do you think Mrs.Darbus will let us do a duet together?" answered and asked Sharpay.
"I'm not sure"
"You do know that I am really sorry?"
"Yes Sharpay and I forgive you!"
The doctor walked into the room with the test results.
"Miss.Montez, I am glad to say, that your baby is fine, and is lucky to be alive. When you were punched, the hand was a few millimetres away from your baby." Informed the doctor.
"Thank you" Gabriella replied, and had a big smile on her face.
"Miss.Montez, you may be discharged now."
Sharpay called Ryan to give her and Gabriella a lift, and went home with Gabriella.
The next day at school, Gabriella bumped into her form tutor Mrs.Darbus.
"Good morning Gabriella" she said.
"Good morning Mrs.Darbus." Gabriella politely said back.
Mrs.Darbus glanced up and down at the straining uniform across Gabriella stomach.
"Feeling a little bloated today?" asked Mrs.Darbus.
"No" Gabriella said feeling nervously.
"Are you ok? You can tell me anything you know."
"I'm fine Mrs.Darbus" Gabriella said. "I'm going to be late for lesson." She added quickly.
"Gabriella please come with me, in a quiet place."
"But I'm going to be late." Worried Gabriella.
"Its ok I will write a note to explain you were helping me with display work."
"Is that what you want me for?" questioned Gabriella.
"No. Follow me." Said Mrs.Darbus
Gabriella followed Mrs.Darbus into a quiet, empty music room.
"Gabriella, your uniform is straining on you?" Mrs.Darbus said. "Why?"
