The next day everyone was talking about how Tyler had 'broken' up with Gabriella…and when Gabriella heard it she was kind of happy about it but it was funny how he said he broke up with her. When she heard, Taylor was the one that told her.

"Yeah…it was kind of bad." She shrugged, "Don't say anything to anyone except Sharpay but me and Troy…" She drifted off for a moment and smiled, "We kind of…well you don't want to know."

"Really!" Taylor exclaimed. She was shocked to hear that but she wondered if the video had anything to do with it.

She shrugged and smiled, "Yeah I guess." She grinned then turns to see Troy walking down the hall with Chad. Her heart flutter and she bit her lip turning back to Taylor.

Taylor grinned, "Lover boy alert" She laughed, waving over to Chad and walked over and kissed him. "hey Chad let's go get Sharpay and Zeke and meet those two later."

"But me and Troy were going to- OW!" He was cut off and hit by Taylor and got the hint and walked off.

Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled. "Hey…" He said to her, leaning against a locker and slid his hand into his pocket.

"Hi." She smiled, grabbing her books out of her locker.

"So rumor has it." He smiled, "You and Tyler over?"

"Yeah I guess so," She looked up at his piercing blue eyes and grinned.

"Well that's good." He leaned in to kiss her and gently place his hand on her cheek. He could hear people gasp and said again in the distance.

She kissed him back and asked him, "So what does this mean?" She asked him, closing her locker.

He held her hand and laced their fingers, "This is what it means," he began walking with her to homeroom.

Tyler turned his head from a group of guys and saw the two hand in hand, he looked in disgust and walked over to the two, "Gabs, can I talk to you." He asked, seeing Troy pulling Gabriella closer, "Relax dude, just going to talk."

Gabriella look at Troy then at Tyler and nodded, "It's okay I'll see you at homeroom." She hugged him and walked with Tyler.

Troy watched the two and didn't trust him too much but he trusted her so he walked to homeroom with a few basketball buddies.

"What do you want Tyler?" Gabriella asked, "I can't be late for homeroom or Darbus would be mad."

Tyler led her to a classroom and looked at her, "Listen here." He said, "I know about your little sex tape with Troy."

"What?!"

"Don't act surprise, you think you can leave it in there and expect me not to watch it?" He asked, getting in her face. "Now listen here, if you want your little reputation to be good then you better do as I say."

"No, you're not blackmailing me," She tried walking away but he grabbed her wrist and turned it.

"LET GO! You're hurting me!" She pleaded. "What do you want?"

He let go a little but smirked, "I'll keep this tape on the down low if you break up with Troy Bolton."

"What! No way!" She shook her head, she was not going to let him blackmail her again.

"Okay, it's bye bye to reputation. And Troy's basketball fame will be over before you know it. And I'll be the star of the basketball game." He smirked.

"No you can't do that to him."

"Do as I say…or else."

She let tears fall down her eyes, "Why are you like this Tyler?!"

"If I can't have you, nobody can. Not even Troy Bolton." He yelled.

"Please don't be like this…I'm sorry if I hurt you but I LOVE Troy…" She pleaded and let more tears fall.

"It's your call. Do it or not."

"Fine. But you leave Troy's life alone! And mine after this!"

"Deal."

She ran past him crying, she couldn't believe after thinking the video scandal was over. It really wasn't. She wiped her tears before going to homeroom and she made it to class in time.

Troy saw her, "hey…" He said gently wondering what Tyler said to her.

She shook her head and walked past him sitting in her seat with her face in her hand.

Troy saw Tyler walk in not long after her and looked at him and wonders what the hell he had said or did to her. He was going to pay.

Tyler smirked, "Hey Troy." He rolled his eyes and took a seat.

Gabriella looked over at Sharpay who looked at her wondering what was wrong. She shook her head and looked at Taylor and cried.

Chad leaned over to Troy and looked at the teacher like he was paying attention, "what happened to Gabs?"

Troy shrugged, "I'm not sure…"

After homeroom, Troy waited outside by the door for Gabriella. He looked at Tyler when he walked out and smirked. When Gabriella walked out, he stopped her. "Hey gabi, what's wrong?"

"I can't be with you Troy."

"What? Who said? Tyler?" He demanded to know.

"I love you but I just…can't. I'm sorry…" Tears were falling down her eyes again. She saw Sharpay, Taylor, and Chad in the distance then looked back at Troy and sighed, "I'm sorry…" She wanted to run off.

"Gabi, we're meant to be…I love you." He said, trying to make her change her mind, "I know Tyler told you to break up with me but I don't know why he would…"

She leaned up to his ears and sighed, "He has a copy of the sex tape…he can ruin both of our lives, and I won't let him throw your scholarship away…"

"One of these days I'm going to kill him!" Troy shouted so everyone looked.

She placed her hand on his cheek, "We'll find our ways to be together…" She kissed his cheek, "I'm sorry…" this time she actually ran.

"GABRIELLA!" He tried shouting but she wouldn't listen.

Taylor and Sharpay took this cue to run after her, looking at Troy then continued to run after her. Chad walked over to Troy and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Troy shook his head and went off to his other class.

"Gabriella!" Taylor shouted when she finally caught up. "What's wrong? What happened?"

Sharpay was a fast runner and finally stopped her, "What's going on?"

Gabriella couldn't hold on anymore, "At the party I was drunk and Troy took advantage of me and he made a sex tape. He blackmailed me to bid for him for the auction. Me and him went on a date and I poured my heart out and so did he, we ended up well you know...then when Tyler walked in on us…he freaked out and I guess that's when we broke up. Then today he pulled me aside and told me he had the sex video and forced me to break up with Troy or else he'll ruin our lives…and I broke up with Troy…and now I feel so fucking bad."

Sharpay jaw dropped a little and looked over at Taylor.

Taylor sighed, "I kind of knew their was a video…you left your door unlock one day and I walked in seeing you and troy watching it." She shrugged.

Gabriella shook her head, "I don't know what to do anymore…"

Sharpay sighed, "Be strong Gabs, be strong." She told her.

"I can't be strong without Troy."

The three of them hugged and stayed by Gabriella's side.

Troy walked to class seeing Tyler on the side, He grabbed Tyler and pushed him against the locker, "What did you tell Gabriella to make her break up with me?"

"Nothing, maybe she just wanted to because she didn't like you." He smirked, pushing him back.

"Why would she when she told me she loves me." He smirked.

"Just for the sex probably." He laughed with the rest of his friends and started walking off.

Troy smirked and punched him across the face, knocking him to the ground and started beating on him. No one dared to stop because no one messed with Troy. "TELL ME WHAT YOU FUCKING SAID." He continued to punch.

"BETTER GET THE FUCK OFF ME" Tyler tried getting up but it was hard when Troy was throwing fists.

Finally teachers came by and pulled them off each other, "BOLTON! BROOKES! MY OFFICE NOW!" Mr. Carter said.

-With Gabriella and the others-

"K ladies, we'll pick it up tomorrow…good practice today!" She said and then grabbed her cheer bag and headed to her car with Taylor and Sharpay. "What you guys want to do tonight?"

"Er, Gabs, don't you want to just hang in after what happened…" Taylor got into the passenger seat.

"Let's just have a girls night in." Sharpay suggested.

"Noo…can we go out…please?" Gabriella turned her car on and pulled out onto the streets to drive back home.

"Let's go to Chad's party. Then." Taylor looked over at Gabriella.

She shrugged, "Sure, sounds fun."

"Don't drink too much now Montez," Sharpay joked but the two shot a glaring eye at her. "I'm just joking! Sheesh!"

Gabriella pulled into her driveway and the girls went in to get ready.

-With Troy and Tyler-

"What in the world were you two thinking?!" Mr. Carter asked them in a demanding voice.

"We were messing around…" Tyler spoke up.

Troy looked over at him and shrugged.

"That did not look like messing around!"

Troy sighed, "We got carried away…."

Mr. Carter looked at the two, "You know the championship is days away, don't mess up again! Or you two will be both benched!"

"Yes sir." They both said and left. Troy left first and met Chad in the hall.

"So what happened dude?" Chad asked him.

"Nothing really…" Troy shrugged and walked to his locker to get his basketball clothes. "I'm stoked for your party tonight."

"Gab is gonna be there" Chad grinned.

Troy smiled inside and then looked at Chad and continued to walk to practice.

Chad sighed and looked and saw Tyler walking his way.

"Hey chad I heard you were throwing at party tonight…"

"Er yeah…" Chad said, shrugging.

"That's cool, is it cool if I swing by?" Tyler asked.

Chad knew that Troy would be very mad if he invited Tyler, but he was a basketball buddy and it wouldn't have been fair and Coach would've found out and be mad. He smiled, "Sure…" He said.

"K cool. See ya" He smirked and walked away. He knew this way he could know for sure if Gabriella was keeping her promise or not. He loved having the power...especially if it was more power then Troy had. He was going to find a way for Gabriella to be his again. He'll do whatever it takes to make her forget about Troy. Prom was in a few months and he knew that if Gabriella was his, then prom would be unforgettable.

Chad looked at him and sighed, "Troy's going to kill me." He said and walked away back to his car. He hated drama and his party will have lots!

Sorry it's short…have a lot to do. Review please!
