I'm sorry I forgot to put in the story that Bell and Scott left. Also, I'm very sorry to say that this, but the next chapter is the last. I'm not sure if I'm putting a sequel or not. But, I wanted to thanks for all the people thank reviewed.

Chapter 17 The Prom Part 1

It was Saturday, and the Taylor, Kelsi, Violet, and Melissa were at Gabriella's house, getting ready. The guys were going to pick them up there also. All the girls were busy, but Gabriella didn't put much effort into it. The girls would do something to Gabriella, like Melissa would fix her hair; Kelsi would fix her makeup, etc.

Taylor yelled, "Gabi, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you doing anything? Don't you want Troy to feel like he's with the wrong person?"

Gabriella looked up at Taylor, and said, "I could care less about Troy. He's happy with Sharpay and school's almost over. So, I won't have to see him."

Violet said, "Are you really sure you would want to see Troy again?"

Gabriella just said, "I'm going to get some water." She went downstairs, and the doorbell rang. Gabriella opened it to find five very handsome guys at the door, and one ice princess.

Gabriella said, "Aren't ya kinda early?"

Chad said, "No, we are running a little late, in a matter of fact."

Jason said, "Cause, Ryan couldn't find the 'right' tie."

Ryan said, "It's not my fault I didn't know which color to wear."

Gabriella said, "Your girlfriend said to wear your favorite color."

Ryan said, 'Really? Thanks god, I didn't wear the orange one."

Gabriella laughed, and said, "the orange one?"

Ryan said, "Yes, orange what's wrong with that?"

Gabriella said, "Nothing, come on………."

Taylor interrupted her, by saying, "GABI, IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE, I'M GOING TO DRAG YOU UP HERE MYSELF."

Gabriella said, "Really, so you want your boyfriend to stand outside?"

Taylor said, "What? They're early."

Gabriella said, "Actually that's a little late."

Kelsi said, "Then come on, before we're late."

Gabriella said, 'Come on in guys." Then Gabriella ran upstairs. Gabriella touched up her makeup, let down her hair, and pulled on her dress. All the girls did the same. Gabriella walked down slowly, wearing a gorgeous teal, halter dress, with a huge bow in the back. She said, "I'm your lovely yet, dateless hostess," with a huge smile on her face, "First down will be Ms. Melissa. She's wearing a lovely, yellow strapless dress. ……..Next well be Ms. Violet, wearing a charming, sage spaghetti-strapped dress………….Following her well be Ms. Kelsi, which is wearing an appealing, red, strapless dress…………….And last, but not least well, be Ms. Taylor. She's wearing a beautiful, lavender dress." (A/N Between each (……..) meant she would appear at the top of the stairs, and slowly descend.)

The guys were just the way the girls wanted them stunned, including Troy. Gabriella said, "Alright let's go!"

At the prom……….

When the walked in, it was playing a slow song. Everyone decided not to dance right away. They got a table, and then Chris came up to their table. Chris said, "Gabriella would you dance with me?"

Gabriella looked at her friends, and they were encouraging her. So, she said, "Sure."

It was playing again a slow song. She didn't feel right with Chris but just let this one dance in. Slowly all the couples got on the floor. They danced about 3 dances together, before Gabriella wanted to get a drink. A little while later they were about to announce prom king and queen, so they stopped the music. Everyone was sitting down, besides Troy and Sharpay. A little before she pulled him on the dance floor, but they came back for the announcements.

The Principal said, "First I would like to announce the prom queen which is……."

Sharpay stood up, thinking she won.

"Gabriella Montez!" The crowd applauded.

Gabriella's friends pushed her up there. They parted the crown on her head. Gabriella and Sharpay had a shocked look on their faces.

"And the prom king is……..Troy Bolton!" And once again the crowd applauded. "And the prom king and queen get their dance."

Troy led Gabriella off the stage, and pulled her in his arms. She wouldn't look at him. So, he whispered in her ear, "You look beautiful tonight."

Finally Gabriella would look into his eyes, letting her body sway with his.

Troy continued, "I really miss you too, Gabi."

Gabriella said, "Troy, don't do this now."

Troy said, "Do what? Tell you the truth?"

Gabriella said, "You know what I'm talking about."

Troy said, "And what is that?"

Gabriella said, "Not now Troy."

Troy said, "Fine, but I won't give up on us."

Gabriella pulled away, and yelled, "WHAT US? YOU THROW US AWAY WINTER BREAK!" Then she ran out of the gym. Troy tried to follow her, but was blocked by Sharpay, which was saying, "If you leave, we're through."

Troy said, "Then we're through." He pushed her aside. And saw a glimpse of brown. He was wondering where she was going cause if she was going to leave she was going the wrong way, but she followed her even though he knew she would trapped. He finally saw Gabriella sat down on the floor against the lockers, crying.

He said, "Gabi, what are you doing?"

Gabriella looked up and said, "Go away Troy."

Troy just went closer, and said, "But, I need to talk to you."

Gabriella said, "I don't want to talk to you."

He stepped closer and closer until it was so close she was backed all the way up against the lockers. He said, "but, I need you Gabi."

Gabriella said, "I can't do this.", and she ran into the girls' bathroom, leaving Troy in the hallway.
