Sorry for the long wait! It took longer than I thought it would. I started school on Tuesday, and I have all honors, so the homework's really piling up and I have the extra curriculums to worry about too. It's ughhh. Lol. But, I'll make the next chapter longer for making you wait. No worries. Anyway, I promised you drama and Melanie in the fifth chapter, so here you go! Enjoy.
Who's That Girl
Chapter 5- Confrontations
Gabi's POV-
Troy was on top of me, our lips were just mere centimeters apart, and both of us were leaning in, our lips barely came in contact with each other, when someone threw Jimmy at Troy's head, moving his lips from mine, to my chin. He immediately got off of me, both cheeks all red. We both sat up when we saw Jason waving his arms at us.
"Troy! Gabi! Finally! I've been trying to get your attention forever!" he yelled, completely oblivious to what was happening. "You two are smart, what does 24/7 mean?" Troy sighed. "It means 24 hours a day. 7 days a week." I replied.
"Ohh. I thought it meant 24 sec-" before he could finish his sentence, Chad tackled him to the ground.
"Jason! I can't believe that you chucked Jimmy at Troy. You said you were going to dry him for me! When I get Jimmy back, you got some s'plaining to do to him." Chad said, shaking his head. He got off of him and looked at us, wide eyed. "What happened to you two lovebirds?"
"Nothing." We said at the same time.
"Whatever, I'll get it out you two later. Now, where's my wittle guy?" He asked. Troy and I started laughing, and pointed the pond. Where Jimmy was floating out into the middle of the pond, ducks were starting to surround it. When Chad saw what we were pointing at, he went wide-eyed. "Damn it. Jason Alvin Cross, I am soo going to beat you up when I get back!" he said looking at Jason. He ran to the pond once again yelling, "Jimmy Gilbert Danforth! Have no fear, Chaddie's coming. I'll save you from those mean duckies." We were laughing hysterically at the sound of "Jimmy's" full name. Chad dived into the pool, and got Jimmy out of the pond safely.
By that time, everyone was crowding around us, and laughing at Chad's attachment to the basketball.
"I think he should get therapy." Jason said. Everyone continued, to laugh, and we all nodded at that.
"Or maybe a new basketball. Did you see Jimmy? It's so filthy!" Sharpay exclaimed. "But don't worry. I'll get him a hot pink one for his birthday in a month." She finished.
"Baby, not everything has to be hot pink. But, I do agree on the filthy thing." Zeke said. That earned him a playful smack on the arm from her.
"Duh Zekey." She said. Everyone started laughing hysterically.
"Be Quiet!!!!" Sharpay yelled. Everything then went dead silent. The only sounds that could heard was the wind blowing.
"Good. Now let's go before it get too late. Come on Zekey Poo. Toodles!" she waved, and pulled Zeke away.
"Poor guy." I said. The rest stifled giggles, and chuckles because we all knew that Sharpay has extra sensitive hearing.
After Sharpay and Zeke left, we were all just sitting around, talking about random things. It was getting dark, and everyone paired off, and walked to their own homes. Troy offered to walk me home, and I accepted.
"Did you have fun today Brie?" he asked.
"Yeah! It was great. Did you?" I replied.
"Of course I did!" he said. "Especially with you there." he mumbled under his breath.
Wait, did he just say what I thought he said?
"What?"
"Huh? Nothing! Umm, race you home!" he yelled, and ran off.
That was weird. Oh well. It was Troy.
I then ran after him. It soon became a game of tag. It was really fun.
Troy's POV- (9 days later)
When I got home from the park that day, I was informed that we were going to go on a "business" trip to Los Angeles, California with Melanie's family.
Flashback- (9 days ago)
We had just finished teasing Chad, and Jimmy. By the time we noticed that we had to leave, it was pitch dark outside. I walked Gabriella home, and I went inside of my house, to find my parents, Melanie, and her parents sitting, and talking quite comfortably in the living room.
"Hey Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I yelled, walking into the living room. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Melanie looking at me, weirdly.
"Oh, Troy. You know Mr. and Mrs. Green, my bosses, and their daughter, Melanie." My mom said, emphasizing on bosses.
"Y-yeah. Hello. If there's anything, I'll be in my room." I said, quickly trying to walking up the stairs to my room.
"Stay Troy. We have some news for you." My dad stated. I stopped and walked backwards to where I was earlier.
"Yeah?" I asked curiously.
"Well, the Greens are inviting us to go to LA. They're going on a business trip that requires me to go. And they thought it would be a good idea to invite us along. We're leaving for about a week." She said.
"But-" I started, my dad cut me off.
"No buts. We've already excused you from school, you're coming with us, along with Melanie, and your dad's going to watch Daniel. So you two will have all of the time to yourselves." My mom stated. Melanie's eyes lit up, and she started to squeal, while I chuckled nervously.
End Flashback.
I was really bummed out when I heard that I had to miss school to go with them. But it was fun anyway. There wasn't really a business thing going on. Our parents just wanted us to get together. Surprisingly it worked. They made Melanie and me sleep in the same hotel room. For the whole week, she showed a different side of her to me. At first, she was really annoying, and I just wanted to strangle her. But after the second day, it was like someone else took her place. She became sweet, kind, and gentle. On the last day of the trip, Melanie kissed me, and I just asked her out on an impulse. I have no idea why I did though. Maybe it was because I want to get over Brie, but whatever the reason, I already did it.
Today, is Sunday. The day that we finally came back to Albuquerque. The rest of the gang were really excited that I'm back now. They all missed me, at least that's what they told me. I'm going to meet them at the Peanut Diner, where we all work at. But on Sunday's we usually hang out there. I'm walking down the street right now. I have to walk about one more block before I get there. I can't wait to see everyone again. I'm going to introduce them to Melanie. I wonder what they'll think.
I finally arrived, and I went inside. I was looking around for the others until I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I took my phone out of my pocket, and flipped it open.
"Hey Troyie
I'm going to be late to meet your friends.
Sorry. But my parents are holding me up.
It sucks big time! Lol. I love you. 3
-Mellie."
I chuckled as I closed my phone, and put it back in my pocket. It seems like whenever she's late, her parents are always holding her up.
"What'cha laughing at? I didn't even bring Jimmy today." I heard a very familiar say behind me. I turned around, and I was face to face with Chad.
"Hey Man!" I exclaimed, and did our secret handshake with him.
"Dude! Where have you been? Jimmy, and the mane were asking for you." He stated, while chuckling.
"Hah. Well, long story man. Tell you and the rest later. Is everyone here?" I asked, looking around.
"They're over…." He started, as he looked around. "There!" he exclaimed as he pointed to the back. I turned around, and saw everyone, except Brie.
"Where's Brie?"
"She said she's going to be late. I have no idea why though." He answered.
"Oh. Okay. Well, let's get going then. I can't wait to see the rest." I said as I started to walk over to the others.
"Hey Guys! Afro Man found something!" Chad sang off-key. Everyone started to laugh, and chuckle. I took that as my cue. I stood up from the bush I was hiding behind, and yelled,
"Anyone miss me?" I was then greeted with "Troy!'s" and "Hey Man!'s". And I was wrapped into huge bear hugs from all of the girls. Once everyone settled down I felt someone tapping on my back. I turned around and I saw Melanie standing there smiling.
"Hey Mellie!" I said. She immediately kissed me, as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed back, snaking my arms around her waist. I completely forgot about everyone else, until someone cleared their throat. I unwrapped myself from the kiss and turned back to the rest. My cheeks were burning up. I cleared my throat a little.
"Umm. Okay everyone, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend, Melanie." I stated, as Melanie started to wave her hand.
"Nice to meet you all. I've heard tons about all of you." She said, smiling. Everyone else was in a state of shock. Except of Taylor and Chad, who were glaring at me. Nobody said anything. Until Taylor stood up.
"Hi, Melanie. Nice to meet you too. Not to be rude or anything, but we definitely haven't heard anything about you." Taylor said, shaking head. Melanie looked at me confused, as she sat down. I sat down next to her, my arm around her waist.
"Oh, well. Here, I'll tell you about myself. I'm Melanie Green." She said. Sharpay and Taylor gasped.
"You mean Melanie Green, daughter of Thomas Green, the richest man in Albuquerque?" Sharpay asked.
"Umm, yeah. Anyway, I went with Troy on the trip last week. With our parents, and the silliest thing happened! We were put in the same hotel room…" After that, I just kind of spaced out thinking about Brie.
I wonder what she's doing, what she's wearing. I haven't seen her in a while. I miss her so much. Wait. Why am I thinking about her? I mean she's my best friend and all, but still. I'm thinking about her more than I do Melanie. That's scary. Hello? Melanie's my girlfriend. Whatever.
Taylor's POV- (10 minutes earlier)
It's been 9 days since we've last seen Troy. He missed a week of school, and tons of new memories with the rest. Gabby's been kinda different ever since Troy left. I hope she'll get better now that he's back. We don't really know why he left all of a sudden. At least he's back though.
Right now, we're sitting at the Peanut Diner. Everyone's here except for Gabriella. She said she wanted to get a present for Troy. We're just waiting around. Chad, Jason, and Ryan are talking about baseball and basketball. Typical jocks.
Sharpay, Zeke, and Kelsi are discussing Sharpay's addiction to hot pink. She says it's not an addiction, and it's just like Zeke liking baking, and Kelsi liking to compose music, and all of that stuff. Ugh that gets soo annoying after a while. I'm just glad I'm not in it.
And me? I'm just sitting here not talking to anyone. I'm deep in thought about these feelings. I feel like something bad's coming. I just don't know what. I told Gabriella about these feelings yesterday. But she just told me to shrug it off. It's a really strange and creepy. The last time I felt this way, was when I was six, and I found my grandpa dead in the living room.
I was upstairs asleep. The whole day, I was feeling weird. I kept on tossing and turning, but I just couldn't sleep, until I heard a racket downstairs. I was scared, so I just left it. And I eventually fell asleep, but when I awoke again, the feeling was gone. I went downstairs, and I saw that my grandpa was on the ground, bleeding. Turns out that a burglar came in, and my grandpa saw him, and tried to stop him, but was killed instead.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Chad talking.
"Hey Guys! Afro Man found something!" Chad sang off-key. Everyone started to laugh, and chuckle. As a familiar dirty blonde boy appeared.
"Anyone miss me?" he asked. The others all started to greet him "Troy!'s" and "Hey Man!'s". Sharpay, Kelsi, and I gave him a big bear hug. Once everyone settled down, I saw a blonde tapping on Troy's shoulder. He turned around and said, "Hey Mellie!"
She immediately kissed him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed back, snaking his arms around her waist. I was purely shocked. "What the heck was that? I thought you said he loves Gabby!" I shouted/whispered to Chad. He just stared at me, with the same expression. "I. Have. No. Frigging. Clue." He paused, and looked at the blonde closely. "Wait. Isn't that the blonde bimbo he was flirting with like two weeks ago?" I gasped. He was right. My eyes went big. "And isn't that the blonde that smirked and glared at us as we walked by the hallway?" His eyes went big too. "I am so going to kill that bimbo. No girl's gonna glare and smirk at me." His clenched his fists together, until his knuckles were completely white. I unclenched his fists, and tangled them with my hands. "Stay calm Chad. We have to worry about Gabby. What's she gonna do when she see this?" I asked angrily. "Nothing. Because my little sister won't see this." He said, and cleared his throat.
Troy immediately unwrapped himself from the make out session, and turned back to the rest. His cheeks were burning up, as he cleared his throat.
"Umm. Okay everyone, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend, Melanie." he stated, as Melanie started to wave her hand.
I'm going to kill him.
"Nice to meet you all. I've heard tons about all of you." She said, smiling. Everyone else was in a state of shock. I was just glaring at him. Nobody said anything. I then stood up. Someone had to say something.
"Hi, Melanie. Nice to meet you too. Not to be rude or anything, but we definitely haven't heard anything about you." I said, with a fake happy tone in my voice. Melanie looked at him confused, as she sat down. He sat down next to her, her arm around his waist.
Whore.
"Oh, well. Here, I'll tell you about myself. I'm Melanie Green." She said. Sharpay and I gasped. We've heard about her. She's very wealthy, even wealthier than Sharpay, and Gabriella combined.
"You mean Melanie Green, daughter of Thomas Green, the richest man in Albuquerque?" Sharpay asked. (A/N: This next part when there are the … are when Melanie's talking. It's just Taylor's coming in and out of her thoughts. She's not really paying full attention to Melanie.)
"Yup! The one and only. Anyway, I went with Troy on the trip last week… That explains it. …the silliest thing happened! We were put in the same hotel room… Gross! Troy had to sleep with the bimbo. On the last day of the trip, Troy kissed me and asked me out! WHAT?! He knows this blonde for what a week, and asks her out. What was he thinking? ….Yeah, and now we're so in love!" she said.
"Oh! Well that's nice. Very..cute?" Sharpay said.
"Yep! I so love my Troyikins." Melanie said. Everyone started to snicker, as Troy blushed.
"What are you guys laughing at?" a certain brunette asked, smiling. I turned around to see Gabriella standing there.
"Gabi!" everyone exclaimed and hugged her.
"Guys..can't…breath..let..go." she managed to get out. Everyone immediately let go, as Troy came up to her.
"Hey Brie! I missed you." Troy said, as he pulled her into an even bigger hug.
"Aw, I missed you too Tbear." She replied, smirking. He abruptly let go of her, and glared at her.
"Hey. What did we say about the Tbear thing Gab-?" before he could finish, she put her hand on his mouth. He looked at her strangely.
"Uh, uh. You can't say it. You promised me." She replied. He took her hand off of his mouth, and started to tickle her. The only thing that was heard was Gabriella's incessant giggling. That is until Melanie cleared her throat.
Troy stopped, and looked at Melanie, he took a step back from Gabriella, and rubbed the back of his neck. While Gabriella looked around at everyone strangely.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Troyie! Who's this? Aren't you going to introduce her to your girlfriend?" Melanie asked in a whiny voice. Gabriella raised her eyebrow.
"Girlfriend? When did this happen?" She asked looking at Troy. He looked at Gabriella, and back to Melanie. He shook his head and sighed.
"Brie, this is my…girlfriend, Melanie. Melanie, this is my best friend of 17 years, Gabriella." He said.
"Oh! Hi Melanie. Nice to meet you." Gabriella said, as she extended her hand for Melanie to shake. Before Melanie could do anything, I spoke up.
"Sorry guys. But Troy, can we all have a word with you, outside?" I said, and motioned to the door. Everyone except me and Chad went out. Troy looked at me strangely, but followed the others anyway.
"Go ahead and talk to Melanie Gab, we'll be back soon." Chad said, also walking out with me.
Nobody's POV-
Melanie was now glaring intensely at Gabriella.
"So, how did you and Troy meet?" Gabriella asked nicely.
"Oh, we met a long time ago. We were separated, and now we're together. Got it?" Melanie said as she took a step closer to her.
"Okay. Umm, how'd you two get together?" Gabriella asked, backing away from Melanie.
"He kissed me and asked me out. Anything else you annoying bitch?" Melanie stated coldly.
"Excuse me?" Gabriella asked, anger rising inside of her.
"You heard me. Troy kissed me, and asked me, out. Not you. Bolton's mine. And not your's. So if you know what's good for you, you better stay away from him, you scrawny little bitch. You wouldn't even have a chance with him. He's too good for you. Got that, Daniella." Melanie stated with anger and hatred in her voice. She flipped her blonde hair back. She also smirked, because she knew that her name was Gabriella, and not Daniella. Melanie was only saying that to annoy her.
"Okay three things you fake Barbie doll, blonde bimbo of a bitch, plastic surgery addict. One, my name is Gabriella Montez, not that Daniella shit you just called me. Get it right. Two, what if I don't stay away from him? He's my best friend. And who the hell are you to tell me what to do? And three, you don't even know Troy. So you are in no place to say what's good enough for him or not." Gabriella replied, with the venom in her voice. She crossed her arms over her chest, and raised her eyebrows at her.
"Best friend? As if. He said nothing about you. He thinks your annoying too. I bet he doesn't even care about you." Melanie said, unconvincingly.
"Yeah right. And I have the biggest ego in the world." She started, and gasped. "Oops! Wait, that's so not possible. You've already sewn up that category. Along with fakest and bitchiest person in the whole world. I bet that your hair isn't even real." Melanie's mouth was wide open at Gabriella's comment. "That's right I said it. Deal with it."
"Why you damn mother fu-" Melanie started as she lifted up with her hand up. Before Melanie could hit her, Gabriella grabbed her arm, and twisted it. As Melanie's yelped.
"You were saying, Mel?" Gabriella asked in a fakely sweet voice.
"Gabriella?!? Let go of Melanie. NOW!" someone yelled.
Oh my god! Who yelled? Eh, I don't know either. Don't ask. I haven't written the next chapter yet. :P
That was really hard to write. Like I said, I love Troyella! Not TroyOC. It's blech. Lol. I just noticed that I haven't been putting any scenes from my trailer into my story. Oops. I'll try to put more of them in. Hope you enjoyed it. Tell me your opinions! I wanna hear from you guys. I'll post up the next chapter when I get at least ten reviews or more. That way, I'll get more time to write it, and edit it. Again, sorry for the wait. :( Don't blame me, blame school. :P Adios & Review
-Ilyilyx3
P.S. Sorry for any mistakes. Again! Lol. :)
