Chapter 2
Gabriella walked home from school on the cool winter day. She shuffled along the sidewalk looking up at the bare trees above herShe didn't notice Sharpay walking towards her, she ran up beside her.
"Hey Gabriella"
"Oh hey Sharpay" Gabriella said turning towards her.
"Listen, Gabriella I've known Troy for 14 years. I know everything about him. I also know that he doesn't like your type." Sharpay said glaring at her. Gabriella was stunned for a moment and stared at her. Gabriella just stared down at her feet, 'Oh I see," Gabriella said looking up trying to hide her pain. Sharpay walked ahead in triumph. "Toodles!" Sharpay said waving back at Gabriella as she ran off.
Gabriella had never thought about what Troy saw in her, she didn't know if he saw anything in her. She was confused and depressed, her entire day had been ruined. Thanks to Sharpay. She continued to walk down the street. She had a couple more blocks until she reached her house.
"Gabriella?" She head a voice from behind her calling her name. She turned to see it was Troy.
"Hey," Troy said reaching her out of breath. "Oh hi." Gabriella said unhappily turning her head down towards her feet again. "What's wrong?" Troy asked looking down at her. "Oh nothing" Gabriella replied. "Well I was thinking, maybe we could rehearse a little bit tomorrow during free period?" Troy said gazing into her chocolate brown eyes. "Sounds great Troy," Gabriella said cracking a slight smile. "Well this is my stop," Gabriella said pausing at her house. "Bye." Troy said as he leaned in a kissed her on her forehead. Gabriella sighed leaning against the front door watching him run off. She now knew, to never trust Sharpay.

"Gabriella!" Gabriella to see Kelsi running towards her with her messenger bag flinging around beside her. She then fell to the floor her books & papers flying out everywhere. Gabriella gasped to run to help her with kids laughing at her as they passed by. "Kelsi are you okay?" Gabriella asked bending down to help her get her books together. "Yeah fine," Kelsi said glaring at the passing kids. Once the books were picked up the two walked to class together. "So you needed to ask me something?" Gabriella asked Kelsi . "Yeah Troy said he can't make it to rehearsal. "Oh, why?" Gabriella asked as her face fell. "Something about helping Sharpay with a math assignment," Kelsi replied with confusion on her face. Gabriella's face looked mad as she took Kelsi and stormed down the hallway. Sharpay had done it, she was winning. Kelsi and Gabriella entered their home room to find Troy talking to Sharpay. Sharpay glanced at Gabriella and gave her a mischievous smile. Now Gabriella was steaming mad, she just wanted to rip Sharpay's perfect blonde hair out of her head. She stormed toward Troy.
"Hey Troy," Gabriella said giving him a great big smile. "Sharpay" Gabriella said giving her an awkward greeting. Sharpay just glared up at her. "Sorry to hear about how you can't make rehearsal Troy," Gabriella said looking down at him with a twinkle in her eye. "Gabriella I am so sorry, Sharpay said she really needed help on the math assignment, can we reschedule?" Troy asked. "Of course." Gabriella said with a smoothing voice as she returned to her seat.
"Gabriella, what's Sharpay doing with Troy, it looks like she's flirting with him,"Taylor said looking at Troy and Sharpay. "I know!" Gabriella said pounding her fist on the desk. "She gave me this whole lecture yesterday about how Troy wasn't my type and everything," Taylor looked at her best friend with concern. "I am really starting to dislike that girl," Gabriella said still looking at Sharpay giggling with Troy. "Join the club sista!" Taylor said giggling.
The bell had rung as the classed continued to talk and laugh with their classmates. "Class!" Ms. Darbus had entered the room. "Does the bell mean nothing to you?" She asked the class angrily.
"Now," She said calming down. "As you all know we have just recently cast our roles for our Winter Musicale." Gabriella and Troy exchanged glances. "Now all cast members, understudy's and all must be at Thursday's rehearsal," The end of home room bell rang as everyone fled the classroom.
"Ryan, we need to save our musical." Sharpay said as they walked down the crowded hallways of East High. "But how do we do that, they've already got the role and no way are they going to give it up!" Ryan exclaimed. "Well, first we need to break up Troy and Gabriella, and I've got it all figured out." Sharpay gave Ryan a grin and walked off.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Bolton is Troy there?" Gabriella asked her books in her hand.
"Yes Gabriella he's upstairs in his room with some Sharpay girl, you can go right on up." Mrs. Bolton opened the door for Gabriella as she headed upstairs. Gabriella knocked quietly on his bedroom door. Troy opened up, "Gabriella, your early." Troy said sounding a bit nervous. "Yeah I thought you needed as much study time as possible." Gabriella smiled, he smiled back and let her in. "Hi Gabriella!" Sharpay said in a fake voice. "I was just helping out Sharpay with our science project," Troy said as Gabriella sat down in the arm chair across from Troy's bed. "We'll be done in a few minutes." Troy said beginning to explain something to Sharpay. Gabriella turned her head to the window and gave a gentle sigh.
She must have waited about another hour before Sharpay left. "Sorry that took so long." Troy said coming over to Gabriella. "That's fine." Gabriella said without looking up from her work. "So now what do you need help on?" Gabriella asked. "Just about everything." Troy said as he started to laugh. Hours they worked, not so much of working happened though a lot of laughing.
"Gabriella," Troy took a deep and heavy sigh. "I've never met anyone like you before. Your so self-confident and content with who you are. I like that." Gabriella just looked at him tilting her head. "I love you." Those magical words poured out of his mouth like a wave that had just sent Gabriella flying into the sea. "I love you too Troy." Gabriella leaned in for a kiss, now she was sure Sharpay was wrong and has always been.

It was hard to believe that Troy had found a girl like this, he liked everything about her. Her smile, her laugh, her eyes, her everything. He could never feel this way about any other person he knew she was the one. He awoke on the sunny Saturday morning by his phone, it was Chad.
"Hey dude what's up?" Chad asked.
"Oh nothing really." Troy said sleepily.
"What's going on with you and Sharpay? You guys really seem to be hitting it off." Chad asked curiously. "Nothing is going on." Troy said sounding confused. "Really oh because people in school are saying..."
"What saying what?" Troy asked Chad. "Well that you guys like each other ya know." Chad said. "What!? Are you crazy, me and Sharpay never. I love Gabriella." Troy shouted into the phone. "Okay then bye." Chad hung up the phone. Troy flopped down on his bed thinking about him and Sharpay. Never...Never... he kept thinking to himself. Troy was very confused.

Gabriella was up early cooking breakfast for her and her mother. She continued to think about Troy constantly. Always on her mind. The words that he had said to her last night rang in her head like a bell, over and over again. Sharpay was never going to get Troy, Troy loved Gabriella not Sharpay. Gabriella decided to take her mind off of Sharpay. She began to think about the musical. She sang her part to Breaking Free over and over in her head. Troy had promised her a rehearsal with Kelsi after school on Monday, she could hardly wait.
—
It was Monday and the halls of East High were crowded with kids running to their classes. Gabriella caught up with Taylor to walk to their advanced math class together.
"So Troy said that he loved you!" Taylor said to Gabriella with enthusiasm. "Yup," Gabriella said with a smile. "Your lucky, you and Troy make the perfect couple me and Chad on the other hand..." Before Taylor had the chance to finish her sentence Chad ran over to the both of them giving Taylor a peck on the cheek as he put his arms around the both of them.
"Hello ladies." Chad said. "Hey Chad." Gabriella said giggling. "And no hi from you Ms. Taylor."
"Hi Chad." Taylor said flatly. "Exited for the musical, Minnie? Chad asked Gabriella. "Yes." Gabriella said laughing again. "Great because me and everyone will hold up go Troy and Gabriella posters and yell out your name through the entire show like at a basketball game!" Chad said throwing his hands in the air, Gabriella continued to laugh hysterically . They three parted in their different directions and headed for their class.
