Chapter 10 The Outburst

When they arrived at Gabriella's house, they changed into the pajamas. Kelsi started talking when they got into Gabriella's room.

Kelsi said, "Gabriella, when the first slow song came on I saw Troy go over to you what did ya talk about?"

Gabriella said, "Well, he said hi and I ignored him, but he was going to say something, but Sharpay wanted to dance."

Everything went quiet, so Melissa said, "Well, I had a blast! What about you guys?"

Everyone agreed.

A week had pasted, and Troy kept on talking to Gabriella, but she kept on ignoring him. Most of the time Sharpay would pull Troy away or Gabriella would just walk away. On Friday Gabriella was on her way to her table, but she was stopped in front of Troy. Gabriella tried to go around him, but he blocked the way.

Troy said, "Gabi, why are you ignoring me? It hurts that you are ignoring me."

Gabriella said with her voice rising with each sentence, "It hurts! Do you know what hurts Troy? It hurts that you broke up with me! Especially, for some tramp! It hurts that I have to see you with her everyday! It hurts that you won't just leave me alone! It hurts that you won't just go away after you hurt me! It hurts……"

Troy interrupted, just as loud as Gabriella got, "Ok, what do you want me to say!"

Gabriella said, "Fine, I want you to tell me that you don't love me anymore."

Troy said, "Gabi, I already told you th…."

Gabriella yelled, "No, look me in the eye, and tell me that you don't love me."

Troy said nervously, "I…….I….."

Gabriella said, "I didn't so, and if you can't tell me that then why did you break up with me? Huh, Troy? Why?" Gabriella waited, and he didn't say anything. Then she said, "Was she better? Was I not good enough? Why, Troy? Why did you break you with me? Huh, Troy, huh?" With each question Gabriella would step forward which made Troy step back.

Troy said, "Uh…………..I…..I can't."

Gabriella yelled, "You can't? I didn't think so, you know what? You're just pathetic. You know that?"

Gabriella knew everyone was looking at them, but she didn't care. So, she just walked out. When she got out, she ran to the bathroom.

In the bathroom……………

Gabriella got into the bathroom, and sat down. Gabriella had a good cry. She hadn't cried since the winter break.

Back at school……….

Troy was still standing in the same position. Taylor, Kelsi, Violet, and Melissa went to look for Gabriella all over school. They went separate ways with their boyfriends. Sharpay walked up to Troy, and said, "Troy, Troy, TROY!"

Troy said, "What? Oh. Hey Sharpay"

Sharpay said, "Troy, do you love me or do you still love Gabriella?"

Troy said, "Sharpay you know who I'm dating."

Sharpay said, "Yea, but I don't think you know that. I think we should be going out anymore, Troy."

Troy was confused, and said, "What? You are breaking up with me?"

Sharpay said, "Yea, you don't care about me. You don't even look at me sometimes. Also I think I like Zeke. He cares about me more."(A/N Sharpay does know that Zeke has another girlfriend.)

Troy was shocked, and Sharpay just walked out of the lunchroom.

The gang met back up at the lunchroom. There no one in there. The boys had to go to the gym, so the girls went to go look for Gabriella. They found her in the bathroom. They comforted her. Then Sharpay came into the bathroom.

Sharpay said, "Oh, Gabriella I'm so sorry about Troy and everything."

Gabriella said, "You don't have to act like you care Sharpay. You have Troy and just leave me alone."

Sharpay said, "Gabriella, me and Troy aren't dating anymore." That shocked all of the 5 girls.

Melissa said, "You aren't dating Troy anymore?"

Sharpay said, "That's right, and who are you?"

Melissa said, "I'm……uh I thought you knew who I was."

Sharpay said, "Well I don't. Now are you going to tell me?"

Melissa looked at the other girls and they all have the same thought. "This is just a trick to get something……………. or someone."

Melissa said, "Oh, well, I'm smart and I'm an actress."

Sharpay said, "Oh, so are you dating one of the basketball players?"

Melissa said, "Yea, I am. I wonder if you know him."

Sharpay said, "Oh, I know the entire basketball team. Well, I got to go. I have to go and find Zeke, one of the basketball players." Sharpay left with that said.

Kelsi said, "Well, someone wants an old boyfriend back."

Taylor said, "Yea, but she's just out of the loop."

Gabriella said, "Well, I think we should have some fun with this as long as we can."

Melissa said, "I thought you were crying."

Gabriella said, "Yea, I was, but I just got to get over the past."

Kelsi said, "Well, what are you going to do about Troy now?"

Taylor said, "Yea, now that Sharpay is gone."

Gabriella said, "Nothing. If he wants me he's going to have to tell me."
