Chapter Two: Away Game fun

It had been two days and Troy had finally got to know Gabriella more and he even grew more nervous around her but he started to like her but he already had a girlfriend. Lena saw the change in Troy and knew the problem all to well, the day of the away game when they started packing the bus to go on the plane toward New York, Lena personality went to talk with Gabriella. "Gabriella! " she called out as she came by the girl at her locker. Gabriella turned, smile fading. " Yes, may I help you ? " she asked kindly. " Yea stay away from my boyfriend! " she told her, Gabriella was a bit confused boyfriend? " boyfriend ? " she asked puzzled face at this cheerleader. Lena only rolled her eyes, " yea Troy my boyfriend and he spending time with you like if he likes you- oh shit he does like you. Know just keep the fuck away from him and If I do caught you talking to him or anything lets just say you may need to go to another school after I'm done with you " sh said and walked toward the bus, Troy coming through the door as she grabbed him and pulled him outside. " he has a girlfriend? " she asked sadly to herself. She held back a bit of tears and got her sweater from her locker, so those two days that they spent together meant nothing to him right, he was just playing her. Gabriella got on the bus and sat in front with Taylor who could tell she was sad, " Gabi cheer up. We are going to have fun at the away game staying in an hotel and everything just a call away. Plus Sharpay and Kelsi will be bunking with us. A week of just friends and sleepovers " she said kindly and hugged Gabriella. Who smiled and cheered up.

New York in the Hotel

Gabriella smiled as she entered the room and threw her stuff on the bed as well as Sharpay, Taylor and Kelsi as they looked around. Happy to finally be here but their stomachs were growling. All of them went down to get some stuff, Gabriella stayed behind to unpack some stuff and get herself settled. But what happened next ed only brought Lena's words back to her head, Troy by the door as he looked over toward her. " hey I missed you on the blue " he told her kindly. Gabriella looked up at him, " sorry was busy with my friends and now I really have to go...bye " she said and dashed off without question. Going down to the buffet that all her friends were at, taking some food as she sat and ate. "I thought you were unpacking Gabi ? "asked Sharpay as she looked over toward her. " I was then Troy came and well I ran over here. Lena doesn't want me to mess with her boyfriend anymore. So I'm not talking to him anymore. " she said sadly. " Lena a bitch behind Troy's back she-" said Sharpay as she was cut off by Taylor, "only wants him for his money because his parents are rich. His parents own this place, that how come we don't have to pay and others do. ". " just stay away from Lena she powerful and we don't want you to get hurt " added in Kelsi last. Gabriella gave a nod, even if she really didn't want to stay away from Troy but she didn't want her ass kicked either.

Troy went back to his room, Chad there along with Zeke and Jason. He sat on his bed and gave a sigh, his friends looked at him. " whats wrong Hoops ? " asked Chad. " Gabriella not talking to me and she keeps running off when I come to her. I don't know why she doing that ? " he said to Chad. " I could ask Taylor for you " he said as he stepped by the door and Troy only gave a nod. He knew were the girls were and headed down to the foot place. Coming behind Taylor as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and she only pushed him away, making him roll his eyes. " Hey Gabi, Sharpay, Kelsi and Taylor um...Gabriella was going on between you and Troy ? " he asked her taking a seat. Gabriella gave a sigh at his question, " you can't tell anyone Chad!...Lena threated me if I spent any more time with Troy. She thinks that he likes me and stuff " she said. " Lena? Wow didn't see that coming but do you think he likes you ? " he asked Gabriella back, knowing it was yes, duh. Gabriella shrugged, " it doesn't matter because I don't want anything to do with Troy Bolton " she said and walked off. " soo.. what I'm I going to tell Troy ? " asked Chad. " make something up Chad, think! " said Taylor as she went after Gabriella along with the rest of the girls. Who couldn't find her not anywhere. So they went back to their room, hoping she would come back in time for the party. But it seemed she wasn't coming back in time, so they invited the boys over and had a party with them. Listening to songs as danced and sang along. Then Gabriella walked threw the doors, she had been crying it was pretty clear, but just as she walked in, she saw Troy and turned her head down to go into her room and close the door. Taylor looked at Sharpay, who looked at Kelsi who looked back at Taylor. " I don't know what to say, you go " she said to Sharpay who was stuffing one of Zeke's cookies in her mouth. " as along as Zeke keep baking I'm not making anywhere, Kelsi " she said and looked over toward the girl. " I only write songs not mend people hear- " Kelsi cut off as Taylor covered her mouth and took both Sharpay and Kelsi into Gabriella's room. Taylor walked out to take another one of Zeke's cookies. The boys just looked at each other but Troy walked out back to his room, sad once again. Chad gave a sigh, they were going to lose the playoff games if Troy was like this he knew it.

Gabriella was sitting on her bed, just thinking. She had already got some dirty looks from Lena and she felt so bad for making Troy feel so bad but what could she do. " Gabriella you need to talk to Troy. He a mess from what Chad told us and we will block off Lena so she wouldn't come in on you guys talking, tomorrow alright? " said Taylor and Gabriella gave a nod and went to sleep soon after it was late. Taylor stayed up to call Chad and tell him the plan but he only agresd to a date and Taylor had to say yes for Gabriella.

The Next Day;; Plan TG

Taylor shoved Gabriella into the kitchen , fixing her hair a few times before she told her to stay. Gabriella was nervous, her friends had dressed her up in a white dress with blue flowers on it and her hair curled. Taylor then ran into Troy looking down as ever Chad behind him. But Troy was blind folded, Taylor rolled her eyes and pushed Troy into the kitchen taking off the blind floor before closing the door and standing. " Troy " whispered Gabriella as she looked at him. He only looked up at her, " so now you want to talk to me how great " he said with a light smirk. But just as Gabriella was going to answer him back, she heard music.. Taking his hand he bragged him over to see Kelsi, talking to her was easier then talking about Lena with Troy. Kelsi stopped and looked up, " Troy, Gabi I THOUGHT you guys were going to talk over there" she asked them. Gabriella rolled her eyes, " Troy pissed me off. By the way what were you playing just now ? " she asked her friend. "A new song, wanna hear it ? " asked Kelsi as Gabriella gave a nod. She started to play and sing the first part as Gabriella soon joined in, befoore she looked over toward Troy who took the chance and sang with her. Gabriella then moved her gaze to Kelsi in ' thank you' still singing with Troy. Now she couldn't help smiling because while they were singing it seemed as if there was no Lena in this picture.

You are the Music in Me.

But just as the song ended, his hands were on her waist and her hands on his chest. They were so close he could feel her body heat, so close to one single kiss. " TROY!! " yelled Lena as she watched from the door. Troy pulled back and let go of Gabriella like it was all a mistake. Gabriella was no pissed off., Lena about to yell again. " Shut up Lena here he is yours I don't want him anymore anything to do with him. I thought there was something there but I was wrong very wrong. Thanks for letting me see that Lena. " she said and sand to the other door, opening it to find the rest of the guy to comfort her. Taylor and the rest of the girls took her back to her room as the guys stayed there. " Lena what the hell did you tell Gabriella to make her start acting this way?! You know what forget it, it over I want nothing to do with you.."
