Chapter 14

The girls were in the park waiting for the boys, as it was their last day of Christmas break. They hadn't seen the boys for a few days because Coach Bolton had been making them practise all day everyday because they didn't go home on New Years Eve like they promised.

Flashback

New Years Day

Gabriella woke up and felt someone's arms around her. She turned and saw Troy peacefully sleeping next to her. She lifted her head and saw all the other boys cuddled up to their girlfriends and Ryan asleep on the sofa. They had all fell asleep around 3am. Gabriella turned and kissed Troy on the lips softly as she whispered in his ear.

"I thought you said you promised your dad you would go home." Gabriella smiled as Troy's eyes shot open.

"Shit." Troy said as he looked around. "My dad is gonna kill me."

"Well I think we should get you and the other guys home before it gets any later." Gabriella told him. They woke all the others up before the boys left.

With the boys

They walked up the driveway and went to unlock the door when an angry Coach Bolton opened it for them.

"Hey dad." Troy awkwardly said. "We're gonna just go upstairs." They all tried to walk past quickly.

"Troy David Bolton where do you think you are going? We had an agreement that you would come home last night not this morning." Coach Bolton shouted.

"Look dad we're sorry we fell asleep and when we woke we realized we were still there and came straight home." Troy tried explaining.

"Where were you?"

"At Gabriella's." Chad answered.

"Isn't her mom away? Oh this is just getting better and better. A house full of teenage boys and girls all alone with no parental supervision. If I find out anything happened with any of you then I will kick you of the team." Coach Bolton angrily told all the boys. He knew Ryan wasn't in a couple so he didn't have any reason not to trust him.

"We're sorry coach." Jason apologized as the other boys nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well I want all of you here every morning 8am sharp except Mr Evans ready to practise seeing as you have not been doing any and you will not be allowed to see your girlfriends for the next few days." He told the group. They decided it best not to argue, as he would most likely take it out on them during practise. They all walked up to Troy's room to call the girls and tell them what happened.

End of Flashback

"So did you here that apparently that Alan from the drama club got together with Alana from the scholastic team. Don't they make a cute couple?" Sharpay asked as she told them all the gossip she had heard from people about others.

"Yeah that's great." Gabriella replied with a bored tone in her voice. She was getting bored of listening to Sharpay who hadn't shut up about school things since they met up.

"Erm girls?" Kelsi said as Sharpay looked at her.

"Kelsi I was in the middle of telling you about Felicia and Nick. So as I was saying…" Sharpay continued as Kelsi caught Gabriella's eye and hinted with her eyes for her to look behind her. As she saw what Kelsi was looking at she quickly spoke not giving Sharpay chance to talk.

"The West High Knights are coming in our direction." She let out a breath as she finished as Sharpay and Taylor looked over to see them approaching them. "What should we do?" Gabriella was silently praying that Troy would just be around the corner. They knew how much the West High Knights hated the wildcats since they beat them last year.

"Hey sexy." One said as he wrapped an arm around Gabriella. She pushed it off as the other boys did the same to the other girls having the same treatment.

"Oh come on why don't we all go have some fun and forget about those Wildcat idiots you call boyfriends. We know how to show a girl a good time." The one, Craig, who had his arm snaking round Sharpay's waist again said.

"Oh no you don't. If you think we would give you the time of day then your wrong and you clearly have no fashion sense which is a big thing we look at when choosing guys." Sharpay proudly said as she and the girls move closer to each other.

"Yeah well here's a little message for your little boyfriends, tell them to forget the championship in a few weeks or else their pretty little girlfriends won't know what has happened." Another on said as he steeped forward and then turned away with a smirk on his face.

With the boys

"If we're late Chad and the girls are mad we're blaming you. Why there any reason you had to spend so long on your hair?" Jason asked.

"Well I'm sorry if I wanted to look good for my girlfriend." Chad answered as the other boys raised their eyebrows at him laughing.

"Look good for your girlfriend? I would have expected Zeke if any of us to come out with because he's dating Sharpay, but your dating Taylor she must really have a hold over you." Troy told him as Zeke and Jason laughed while Chad just started to huff and puff like a little kid.

They continued to the park mocking Chad about his comment. When they saw the girls they stopped noticing who else was there. They saw the girls push the guys hands off their waists.

"I'm gonna kill him if he tries that again." Troy angrily said as he clenched his hand into a fist.

"What the hell do they think they can do with our girlfriends? " Chad asked as they started to approach their girlfriends.

"That's right run off back to where you came from." Jason shouted as they were walking of. The boys looked at the girls pale faces.

"Hey what's wrong did they do something?" Troy asked as he walked up to Gabriella pulling her into a hug. Silent tears fell down her face as she held Troy close to her. None of the other girls had spoke either yet as the boys all gave each other a worried look. Kelsi was the first one to recover.

"They threatened us and said that if you don't lose the championship then the said "or else their pretty little girlfriends won't know what has happened."" Kelsi finished as Jason held her tighter. All the boys had furious looks on their faces.

"Don't worry we won't let anything happen to you." Troy reassured them trying to stay calm. He wanted to go right up the West high team and punch the ones who threatened the girls.

"I can't believe they would sink as low as to threaten the girls." Chad said.

"They will sink as low as possible if they have to if they think it's the only way they can win." Zeke said as the other nodded.

"What are you guys gonna do?" Taylor asked as she leaned her head on Chad's shoulder and his arm around her waist, "you can't lose the championship."

"We can talk to my dad about it and see what he says," Troy answers, "anyway lets not talk about this anymore lets do something."

Sharpay looked at the other girls with a sneaky look on her face. The girls all soon caught on to what she was thinking.

"Let's go…" Sharpay started "SHOPPING!" all the girls shouted as the boys groaned. "And or that you boys will be our personal bag carriers." Sharpay said as the girls laughed and the boys groaned.

Fours hours later and a lot of shopping bags the gang walked out of the mall and separated into couples and set of home so they could get ready for school the next day.

"Thank you Troy for today I can't believe how much fun we had." Gabriella said as they walked towards her house.

"Why are you thanking me?" Troy asked as they stopped outside her house.

"Because if you weren't there then it wouldn't have been any fun." Gabriella unlocked the front door as Troy followed her in still carrying all her bags. Ms Montez walked into the hallway.

"Hello Troy." Ms Montez smiled as she saw Troy holding a lot of shopping bags, "I'm guessing Gabi you had fun looking at all the bags Troy is holding." Gabriella laughed.

"Of course. You can bring those up for me if you want Troy." Gabriella said as she walked upstairs.

"Basically you can't be bothered to so you need your wonderful boyfriend to do it for you." Troy joked.

"Shut up." Gabriella laughed as she ran off upstairs with Troy following.

Troy let soon after and went home and explained what had happened to his dad.

A/N: there's chapter 14. I hope you like it. I added a bit of Drama, which will lead to even more soon. I think I will keep them all together for a few more chapters then they will split up again. I'm not sure at the moment how many more chapters. Please Review!
