Do You Really Mean It?
Chapter13- Operation Troyella, Gabriella's Style
"Hey." Gabriella greeted as she walked through the bunk doors.
"What took you so long?" Taylor asked, as Gabriella sat down on her bunk.
"What, I couldn't have been that long."
"You were gone for about 35 minutes, you said 15." Sharpay replied.
"Yah, we thought you were lost or something." Kelsi added.
"You guys, I was just on a walk. Well, I met up with the kid Austin, the kid with the brown hair, and we were talking."
"Oh, no, what about Troyella?" Sharpay joked.
"Thanks." Gabriella replied sarcastically. "Well actually, you know I like Troy, right?"
"No duh." Kelsi replied.
"And to think, when I met you, you were shy." Gabriella comented.
"Yep, but I am out of that stage." Kelsi replied.
"But anyways, I have a plan. A plan to make Troy jealous that he has a girlfriend." Gabriella said.
"Oooooh, I wanna hear." Sharpay said.
"Yah, me too." Taylor added.
"Don't forget about me." Kelsi said.
Gabriella sat next to them and started to tell her friends her and Austin's plan.
But what they didn't know was that someone was listening in.
"Hey, dudes, come here." Chad called out.
Zeke, Jason and Ryan walked over to Chad. Troy was out running, sad that he upset Gabriella. The guys all put their ears up to the door that connected the bunks.
"What are we listen-" Ryan asked.
"Shhhh!" Jason said.
The guys continued to listen.
"They are making a plan to get Gabs and Troy together." Zeke said.
"Smart, but we are already trying that, but it didn't work." Jason replied.
"I don't know, but Gabs' plan seems flawless." Chad stated.
"I know, it is really good." Ryan added.
"But will it be good when it is in action?" Chad asked, leaving all the guys to think.
It was Tuesday, and they were eating lunch in the cafeteria.
"Hi, again." Gabriella said, sitting in her usual seat at the table.
"Hey." The girls replied, the guys were still helping themselves to the food.
"Wow, look at their plates." Taylor said, motioning to the guys.
All of the girls turned their heads to see all of the guys coming over to them with at least 2 pounds of food on them.
"Wow, the basketball captain is starving." Gabriella joked at Troy.
"Yah, and you always talk about food." Taylor added, joking to Chad.
"And to think, you are always cooking, you can't get enough." Sharpay added to the jokes to Zeke.
"Wow, you aren't hungry." Kelsi joked to Jason.
"What? I am hungry." Jason replied to Kelsi's joke.
All of the friends laughed, knowing Jason wouldn't get it.
"What?" Jason asked.
"Nothing." Ryan replied.
"Hey, I love food." Zeke replied to Sharpay's joke.
"We can see." Sharpay replied.
"I LOVE food. When am I not hungry?" Chad replied to Taylor's joke.
"I have no idea." Taylor replied.
"Yah Brie, I am the b-ball captain, I need food." Troy replied to Gabriella.
"Yep, even when you didn't take basketball, you were still eating like a pig." Gabriella replied.
The girls were trying to get Troy and Gabriella to flirt. But then Austin would walk by and Gabriella would flirt with him instead.
"Thanks." Troy said sarcastically.
"No prob." Gabriella answered.
The friends talked for another 15 minutes, but then the girls knew that it was time for the plan to take action.
Sharpay gave Austin the signal for him to walk by.
Austin got up to get a napkin and when he was coming back, he walked by the table.
"Hey A." Gabriella greeted.
"Hey G." Austin answered.
The two did a handshake that they made up when they were talking.
Taylor was incharge of seeing if Troy and Siri were looking, and they were.
Troy looked so sad that she was flirting with another guy.
Siri looked sad too, but looked away.
"So whats up?" Austin asked.
"The sky?" Gabriella replied.
They both started to laugh.
Troy stared down at his plate and started to pick at his food.
Gabriella and Austin talked some more, and made sure that Troy and Siri heard.
When they had thought that that was enough of the plan for today, they said goodbye and sat down at their tables.
When Austing got to his table, Siri talked to him like everything was normal, but kept bringing up Gabriella.
When Gabriella sat down, Troy was still looking at his food and picking at it.
"Troy?" Gabriella asked.
"What?" Troy replied, looking up, staring into Gabriella's chocolate brown eyes.
They continued the gaze, until Zeke said something to them

The friends continued the talk, but Troy often looked at Austin with jealousy.
It was a long day for the wildcats, the activities just getting harder. There was only 3 more days of activities, and then the challenges began.
The friends decided to just stay in their bunks for the rest of the night, considering that it was already 8:45 p.m.
"Dude, did you see how Brie talked to that Austin kid." Troy asked.
"Wishin that it was you instead of him?" Chad replied.
"Uhhh." Troy studdered.
The guys knew he liked Gabriella, he even kinda said it, but he had a girlfriend.
"Just kidding dude." Chad replied, before Troy made an idiot of himself.
"And anyways, you already have a girlfriend." Zeke stated.
"Yep, the malibu barbie doll." Ryan added.
"Whats her name again?" Jason asked.
"Oh it doesn't matter, just let the captain reflect on that he might not be the only guy in Gabs' life." Chad said.
Troy's POV
Chad is right. Even though I am her best friend, I might not be the first guy in her life anymore.
