Chapter 14

Troy raced into the house and immediately flopped on his bed. His mind filled with confusing facts, figures and something more complicated than school.

Something more, Troy thought to himself.

He picked up a pad and pencil and began to doodle. By the time he tumbled around on his bed to look at the time, it read 10:00 PM

Troy laid his head on the pillow and fell fast asleep.

—

The sound of his cell phone woke him up that morning. He didn't even bother to check the caller ID he just picked it up and gave a muffled hello.

"Troy, I think we need to talk." Sharpay said sternly.

"Now Sharpay?" Troy whined.

"Yes Troy, now." She said as she hung up.

A few minutes later Sharpay was let inside the Bolton residence.

"Troy...you wanna take a walk?" Sharpay asked quietly.

"Ok," Troy whispered as he ached knowing what might happen next.

They walked down the block without speaking and into the park.

"Troy, what happened last night?" Sharpay looked down at her feet.

"Nothing, we were just studying. That's all," Troy reassured her. Knowing that it wasn't the whole truth.

"Sometimes I wonder Troy," Sharpay sighed.

"Wonder about what Shar?" Troy asked.

"If you still have feelings for Gabriella, Troy do you?" Sharpay asked quietly.

"Sharpay! No!" Troy yelped happily. "I would never love anyone but you," Troy kissed her on top of her forehead.

Nobody but...Troy didn't finish his thought. Sharpay linked her hand with his and smiled.

Troy gave a half smiled back as they continued to walk.

—

Troy walked Sharpay back to her house giving her a peck on the cheek before she went inside. Troy walked for home.

Sharpay on the other hand ran for her room. The sent of roses filled her bright pink room of course. She looked up in the phonebook Gabriella's number and immediately dialed it into the phone.

"Hello Mrs. Montez, this is Sharpay Evans is Gabriella there?" She asked sweetly.

"Yes hold one moment please," Mrs. Montez replied.

As she was about to hand Gabriella the phone, Gabriella let out a quiet no. But loud enough for Sharpay to hear. Gabriella was scared of her, and she liked it.

Mrs. Montez threw the phone at her.

"Hello?" Gabriella said meekly, sticking a tongue out at her mother and running upstairs.

"Gabriella, I know you still have feelings for Troy so dump them. He's mine," she said slyly.

"Sharpay, I do not have any feelings left in my heart for Troy. I have a boyfriend!" Gabriella replied.

"So you say," Sharpay snapped.

"Sharpay! You're unbelievable! Do you live to start drama?" Gabriella was getting annoyed now.

"Gabriella you're the one starting this here." Sharpay shot back. "You're the one who asked Troy to come over."

"Sharpay! He asked me, you know I have no idea why I'm even having this conversation with you, bye," and with that Gabriella hung up.

She couldn't stand Sharpay! Like this was news to her. She never liked her from the start. Ice princess she remembered Chad calling her.

Gabriella sighed. She longed for the times with all of them. Hanging out having fun, like the old days. I would always be her, Troy, Taylor, Chad, Zeke and Ryan. Oh yeah and Kelsi too. She missed those times. The way they were.

—

Gabriella looked over her clothes that she considered packing for her upcoming adventure. She could hardly wait. And now that she thought about it, she wanted more and more to go to the Peterson School. There was nothing left holding her back. Or was there?

Her mind was set strictly on other things and that moment.

How could Sharpay even think about me and Troy? The magic is gone, gone. Gabriella thought to herself.

—

Sharpay realized then and there she had the big test to study for. She cracked open her fuzzy pink notebook and began to go over the material. It wasn't even a half hour into her study time before she was eating chips and flipping through the channels.

Meanwhile Ryan was in his room trying to study, and avoiding the loud music coming from his sister's room. He had finally had enough and traveled across the hall to Sharpay's room. He banged on the door hastily.

"Sharpay open up!" He called out.

Sharpay took her time making her way to the door.

"What do you want Ryan?" Sharpay's eyes rolled over as she waited for an answer.

"Some of us are trying to study here, so can you please turn your music down?" He asked coldly.

Sharpay slammed the door in his face, Ryan went back to his room.

He was tired of the way Sharpay treated him. I mean he wasn't her slave! He was going to take a stand.

—

"And a five, six seven, eight!" Sharpay called out as the kids in front of her began to dance.

The show was finally coming along. The show was in 1 week and they had only had 4 more rehearsals left.

Gabriella took Allison backstage to work on her song.

"Okay Allison, you're doing great, I just need you to be a little more outgoing. Like Annie," Gabriella instructed kindly.

"I don't think I can do it," Allison replied titling her head toward the floor in shame.

"It's easy! Like this:" Gabriella got up from the piano chair and began to sing.

The sun'll come out, tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow they'll be sun!

Gabriella looked at Allison as she sang, Allison stared in awe. She looked like she was taking little notes in her head.

Just thinkin' about tomorrow!

Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow...

Till' there's none

Allison heard footsteps coming from outside. She perked her head up, Gabriella didn't seem to notice.

When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely

I just stick out my chin, and grin and say- oh!

Troy walked in quietly peering at Gabriella. Allison gave him an awkward stare, as he did back.

The sun'll-

Gabriella's singing was interrupted by Troy clapping his hands and smiling, Gabriella gave him a big smile.

"Lovely just lovely miss Montez," Troy laughed as he clapped some more.

"Mr. Bolton this is a closed rehearsal," Gabriella smirked.

Allison looked confused. So Gabriella decided to fill her in.

"Allison this is my-friend...Troy," She introduced him as Troy gave a polite wave.

"Um..Sharpay wants to see the both of us when your done, ok?" Troy whispered to her.

Gabriella nodded as she went on with Allison. Troy walked out.

"So, as I was saying. You have to feel the music and be in it," Gabriella said.

Allison went of topic. "Was that your boyfriend?" She asked curiously.

Why'd she have to ask that, Gabriella whined to herself.

"No...he was," Gabriella said softly.

"Was?" Allison asked sympathetically.

"Yes was," Gabriella replied. "Things just didn't work out...it's complicated," She said turning towards her.

"Complicated, the story of my life," Allison said as she walked out.

A few minutes later, after letting everything sink in. Gabriella left too.

"Okay everyone thanks for coming!" Sharpay called out as the kids scrambled out the door.

It seemed that Allison had left as well.

Sharpay linked her arm with Troy's and left. Troy turned to Gabriella and waved. After seeing this Sharpay gave him a little smack on the shoulder as he turned back around.

Soon after that Gabriella left too.

—

Troy walked home with Sharpay still on his arm. Happily he sighed as they stopped in front of Sharpay's house.

"Well bye," Troy said hurrying away. Sharpay caught him by the back of his shirt.

"Oh no you don't," She said. "Forgetting something?" She asked.

Troy shrugged his shoulders.

Sharpay stuck her lips out. Troy gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and hurried off before she could stop him again.

After finally rounding the block Troy ceased running. Out of breath he paused for a minuted inhaling the crisp Albuquerque air. He pushed his soft hair back and walked again. The sunlit sky was just fading away. As he walked up the street his mind traced back to so long ago.

It was a day just like today. Gabriella and Troy were quietly walking up the block.

"My your quiet today," Troy said.

"Wow just figuring this out," Gabriella retorted sarcastically.

"Did I just get lip from you young lady?" He asked snickering.

"Maybe..." She said rolling her eyes.

"Oh now your going to get it!" Troy said running after her as she ran away.

"No Troy!" She cried but he caught up to her.

He caught her off-guard and picked her up and swung her around.

"Let me down!" She fidgeted, screaming and laughing.

Finally Troy let her down slowly and easily.

Pulling each other close...

Troy's little daydream ended there when he suddenly bumped into a man walking his dog. The man gave him a dirty look as they went on with their walk in the other direction.

Before Troy knew it, he had reached his own home. The sky was already dark and the wind began to blow against his face. He hurried inside.

He heard a constant beeping noise coming from his pocket. It must have been doing that the entire walk home because on his cell phone it read: you have new messages. He flipped it open and dialed his voice-mail number.

You have 5 new messages; first new message:

"Hey Troy! It's Sharpay, just wanted to talk with you. Call me back, kisses!"

Troy hit the button to erase it and went on.

Second new message:

"Troy this is Sharpay, call me back!"

Troy once again hit the button to erase.

Third new message:

"Troy why aren't you answering your cell call me back as soon as you get this!"

Troy was getting aggravated now. As he forcefully hit the erase button.

Fourth new message:

"Troy this is your girlfriend speaking, you better not be deleting all these messages! Love you baby. Bye!"

Troy couldn't take this anymoreHe was about to shut the phone when he heard the voice on the 5th message.

"Troy this is um...Gabriella. I just wanted to say how proud and happy I am about your test. I knew you could do it. Well I guess that's it, bye."

Troy listened to the options on his phone.

Hit one to delete this message. Hit three to save this message onto your phone. To exit hit four.

And not knowing quite why. Troy hit save.
