Title: Misunderstanding and a Quick Make-Up
"So are you looking forward to your weekend trip with Gabriella?" Chad asked Troy as they practiced lay-ups.
"Yeah, I'm surprised that her parents and my parents are letting her and me go to Hawaii for the four day weekend." Troy stated.
"But her dad told her since he had to cancel their trip that she could bring anyone she wanted." Chad said as Zeke and Jason joined them. "It's going to be nice being all alone with your girlfriend in Hawaii."
"When are you and Gabby going to Hawaii?" Jason asked.
"We leave tomorrow after school." Troy answered.
"Tomorrow?" Jason asked. "We have the banquet tomorrow night. As captain, you have to be there."
"I can't, I'm going to Hawaii with Gabriella. Gabby's had her heart set on this trip."
"Well, it's tradition."
"How can I do this to her? I don't want her going and have several guys hitting on her!"
"Maybe if you're not going, she won't go." Zeke said trying to comfort his friend.
That day at lunch, Troy sat down next to Gabriella and kissed her cheek gently. He then began to explain to her that he wasn't going to be able to go to Hawaii anymore. Gabriella gently kissed him and told him that she understood.
"Hey Sharpay, want to go to Hawaii this weekend?" Gabriella asked before Troy could say anything else.
"What?" Troy and Zeke asked as Sharpay squealed.
"When do we leave?" Sharpay asked.
"Tomorrow after school." Gabriella answered. "My mom's going to pick us up after last period."
"I officially hate basketball." Zeke said as he and Troy walked into their math class. "Not only is your girlfriend going, but now mine is too. Do you know how many guys are going to hit on them?"
"Just relax, they'll never do anything." Troy told his friend.
"It's the guys I'm worried about."
Twenty four hours later, Gabriella and Sharpay were getting ready to leave for their trip. Troy approached Gabriella at her locker. Gabriella smiled up at him happily.
"I can't believe you're going to Hawaii." Troy grumbled. "Without me!"
"We'll you're going to a banquet without me." Gabriella said.
"I never thought you'd go without me!"
"You were hoping I wasn't going to go if you weren't going." Gabriella suddenly realized. "You don't trust me!"
"No Gabby…"
"I can't believe this!"
"Gabby wait…"
"I'll see you when I get back."
Gabriella turned around and went to join Sharpay at the entrance of the school. The two girls walked out of the building with Sharpay glaring over her shoulder at Troy showing him that she heard the argument. Troy groaned and leaned against the lockers. He rubbed the back of his neck frustrated. Gabriella and Sharpay got into Ms. Montez' car. Both of their mothers were in there waiting. The four of them headed off to the airport.
That evening, the girls walked into their hotel room. Sharpay squealed and clapped her hands. Gabriella smiled slightly missing Troy already and regretting their argument and the way she left. She walked out onto the balcony and looked at the view. Almost instantly, she wished Troy was here with her. Her daydream was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"Hello?" Sharpay asked. "Yes, we'll be right there. Thank you."
"Who was that?" Gabriella asked.
"The front desk. There's someone down in the lobby who wants to see us."
"Who is it?"
"They didn't say. Luckily we're going to be in a public place."
Gabriella and Sharpay got their room keys and walked out into the hallway. They looped their arms together as they talked excitedly about what they were going to do that weekend. The elevator opened on the lobby floor and the girls searched to see if they recognized anyone.
"Excuse me?" Gabriella asked a guy at the front desk.
"How can I help you?" he asked.
"Someone called and said someone was…"
"Surprise!" Troy and Zeke shouted as they came out of hiding and the girls turned around.
"Zeke!" Sharpay screamed happily as she went to him.
The two hugged each other happily. Troy looked over at Gabriella who had her arms folded across her chest. She looked back at him with anger and frustration written across her face. Troy walked over to stand next to her.
"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked him.
"I came to see you." Troy told her. "I wanted to be here with you."
"I knew you didn't trust me!"
"I trust you; it's all the single guys I don't trust!"
"Well if you did trust me, you wouldn't fly all the way out of here just to keep an eye on me!" Gabriella shouted angrily.
"I didn't!" Troy shouted.
"As far as I'm concern you can sit on the beach by yourself!"
Gabriella then pushed past Troy and stormed off to the elevator. Sharpay and Zeke watched in shock. They had never see Troy and Gabriella argue like this. Sure, they had simple silly fights but never ones that lasted more than five seconds.
"Wait a minute!" Troy shouted.
He then turned around and followed Gabriella. As the elevator doors closed, the couple was still having a loud argument. Zeke and Sharpay looked at each other.
"Well, how about we go take a walk on the beach?" Sharpay asked.
"Troy has both keys." Zeke said. "I'll try and keep you out of harm's way."
The two headed up to the girls' floor. Both stopped in front of the room afraid to knock on the door.
"Hear anything?" Zeke asked.
"Nope, these rooms are sound proof." Sharpay said. "Well, here goes nothing."
Sharpay knocked on the door and then moved closer to Gabriella. Troy threw the door opened and the two were surprised at his appearance. Troy's hair was tussled, like it looked like when he first got out bed in the morning. His shirt was untucked and half was unbuttoned. The familiar shade of Gabriella's lipstick was smudged around his lips and on his neck.
"Here's the room key." Troy said handing them the extra key for the other room. "Shar, you mind giving us a couple of hours?"
"You can have the whole trip." Sharpay answered. "What's going on?"
"Arguments over." was all Troy said before Gabriella's hand came into view and pulled him back to her.
The door was then slammed shut. Zeke and Sharpay began to laugh. Zeke wrapped an arm around his girlfriend and turned them towards the elevator.
"They certainly make up fast." Sharpay said laughing.
