The next day, everyone was talking about Troy and Gabriella. Were they together? Were they not? Girls were hoping they were not…guys were hoping they were not. Everyone was except their friends. They didn't know what to expect. All they had to do was wait. Wait to see if they arrive together hand in hand.
"So what do you think?" Chad asked, wrapping his arms around Taylor's waist and kissed her neck softly.
"Mm, I don't know." Taylor placed her hand over his hand, "I really hope so they're really cute and we can all finally go out as the 6." She told him.
Sharpay walked over with Zeke hand in hand, "Hey has the Gabriella and Troy arrived yet? Everyone is talking about it…even the nerds, skaters, and brainiacs!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"No, neither of them has shown up yet, I've tried calling Gabriella this morning but she wouldn't answer." She shrugged. "But I'll call her in a minute or so, right now I'm spending time with my boyfriend!" She giggled.
Zeke sighed, "Man, Troy better show up for practice. Championships are tomorrow!"
"Yeah and Gabriella better be here, we need to learn and fix the rest of the cheer!" Sharpay then got a little panicky.
"Calm down, they'll be here any minute."
-
Troy rolled over and smiled in the morning, this is how he would like to wake up every morning if he got the chance.
"Hey you…" Gabriella said weakly, since she was tired.
"Hey." He kissed the top of her head and grinned. "This is the way I'd like to wake up if I could." He laughed.
"Well you don't live too far, and my mom is always away." She grinned, hinting him.
He laughed, "Don't worry I'll be here a lot." He smiled, and laid there with his arms wrapped around her waist. "It's so nice to hold you again, I really missed out in the last year…I couldn't believe I let you go." He laughed gently.
"That's the past, let's let that go."
Troy smiled and laid in bed with her, "Man, I really don't want to go to school."
"School…SCHOOL! WHAT TIME IS IT?!"
"Summertime!" Troy joked.
"Not funny Troy!" She scrambled to find her phone which was laid out on the floor, "5 miss calls from Taylor." She groaned and saw it was 7:20. "Crap, we only have 25 minute to get ready!"
Troy rolled over to find his phone and saw he had 4 miss calls, 2 from Chad, 1 from Craig, 1 from Chrissy? Whatever. He closed his phone and laughed, "It only takes me 10 minutes to get ready, 3 minutes getting dressed and 7 on my hair." He said sarcastically.
Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Well It takes me an hour and now I have 25 minutes!" She yelled, hopping into the shower.
"Man I love when you're all frantic and mad." He grinned, putting on some socks, "I'm going home, I'll pick you up in 15 minutes!" He went down the balcony and back home. He looked at his phone and called Chrissy back.
"Hello?"
"Chrissy."
"Troy!!!"
Troy rolled his eyes and walked home, "What's up? You called?"
"Yeah…"
"So…?"
"Huh?"
"Why you call me?" He asked her impatiently.
"I'm turning 18 soon, and I'm having a big bash, like sweet sixteen but eighteen."
"Keep going…"
"I was wondering…"
"…."
"I'm having this show that is for my grand entrance, I was wondering if you could be my dance partner…pleeease!"
"I don't know Chrissy…" He knew Gabriella wouldn't like that.
"It's my eighteenth birthday…"
"Gabriella wouldn't like it…" Chrissy was a girl that Troy cheated on Gabriella with.
"She doesn't have to know, she's not even invited."
"If you invite Gabriella I'll go." He smirked, "and that's the only way."
"But Troyyyy!"
"Nope, it's that or no."
"Fine."
"K, see you later Chriss." Troy hung up and ran home the rest of the way and got ready, in 10 minutes he pulled up at Gabriella's house, honking his horn.
Gabriella ran out of the house, looking very nice and all dolled up and ran into his car. "Hey." She kissed his cheek, breathing hard.
"For someone who only got 10 minutes to get ready, you look damn good." He drove to school.
She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Thank you my love." She smiled over at him.
Troy pulled up at the school about 3 minutes to spare, "We made it!"
Gabriella laughed and got out of the car, lacing her hand with Troy's. Troy pushed the alarm on his car and walked into the school hand in hand. Almost that instant, everyone looked at the two. Gasping and talking amongst each other. The most popular boy and girl at school are finally dating again.
"They're looking…"
Troy smiled, "It's okay, they're jealous."
The two saw their friends in the distance, they smiled at them and smiled back. "Hey guys…"
"Soo…?!" Chad asked almost right away. Taylor hit the back of his head, "What? I wanted to know."
"Yeah is it official?" Sharpay asked next.
Gabriella laughed and kissed Troy on the lips.
"I guess it is!" Zeke grinned.
Chrissy walked over with her friends and looked at Gabriella, "Gabriella, can I tlak to you?"
"Um sure…" Gabriella looked at Troy who said it's alright then stood with her. "What's up?"
"Well…" She looked at Troy then back at her, "My mom wants me to invite all the cheer girls to my birthday bash, so here." She handed her a beautiful and elegant invitation.
Gabriella looked at the invite card and then looked at Troy and shrugged. "Um thanks."
Chrissy rolled her eyes when Gabriella's back was turn then looked at Troy and walked away with her friends.
"Well, that was weird." She shrugged, "I wonder why she invited me."
Troy smiled, "She's a cheer sister." He laughed, putting his arms around her shoulder.
Sharpay looked at Chrissy thinking she was up to no good but let it go, "So today, what are your guys' plan?" She asked everyone. Usually they had time to hang out but lately people had to make time.
"Nothing. Why want to do something?" Taylor asked.
"Let's go watch a movie."
"Sounds good" everyone said except for Troy.
"I actually have to do something but you guys go right ahead," He shrugged.
"What basketball practice? We'll go after." Chad spoke.
Troy shook his head, "I have something to do after is what I meant."
Gabriella looked at Troy, "Where are you going?"
"It's nothing to worry about." He kissed her forehead, "let's go to homeroom before Darbus starts bitching at us."
Gabriella looked at him weirdly and walked with them to homeroom. When they all got there, everyone took their seats. Darbus began taking attendance.
"Tyler Brookes?" She called out first. "Is he here? Tyler?" She looked around, "Guess not."
Chad leaned over to Troy, "I wonder where Ty is."
"Probably hiding from humiliation." Troy laughed and Chad did to.
"Well okay now that attendance is settled, I'm going to run over to Mr. Charles class and get your assignment, Montez, you're in charge." She walked out of the classroom.
Gabriella looked around the room, a lot of people were absent. All that were here was her, Troy, Sharpay, Zeke, Chad, Taylor, Chrissy, Kyla, Maria, Matt, Colin, and Kelsi.
Then Tyler walked in minutes later, not talking to anyone.
"Look who decided to show their face!" Troy smirked almost obnoxiously but watched what he was saying.
Tyler closed the door behind him and locked it, taking out his gun, "Say that again you mother fucker." He pointed the gun at Troy.
Everyone was taken aback by Tyler and the gun, "Woah Ty, calm down." Matt spoke to Tyler.
"You shut up!"
The girls were scared half to death with the gun, especially Gabriella who least expect he would do something like this.
Troy smirked, and stood up. "What are you doing Tyler? Are you okay?"
"I said shut up! No one talks or I'll shoot." He said still holding the gun.
Chad stood in front of Taylor. "Look…calm down Tyler…you don't want to do this. You're being over dramatic."
"No one moves!" he yelled, then looked at Chad, "Shut up! How many times do I have to say it!"
Tyler looked at the innocent people, "lay on the ground!" no one moved, "I said lay on the damn ground!" Everyone did as so.
Gabriella looked at Tyler… "T-T-Tyler…" She spoke almost gently then the gun was pointed at her and she jumped. "W-W-Why are you doing this?"
Tyler walked forward with the gun still pointed, "I told you, if I can't have you nobody can. You just cause misery to everyone Gabriella, especially me! And probably Troy! And what about Matt, Jeff, Jared, and the other boys you probably fucked!"
Gabriella looked at Tyler, "I didn't mean to hurt you Tyler, but do you really think it's necessary to shoot other people for what I did?"
"You're right, why shoot everyone…when I can shoot you. It'll make pain less for everyone." He pulled the trigger.
Troy jumped to action, standing in front of her. "Don't shoot her, shoot me."
"TROY! NO!" Gabriella tried pushing him out of the way.
"Gabriella be quiet please." Troy looked at Tyler, "Think you'll be a big shot if you shoot someone? You think you're better because you have a gun?"
Taylor was holding onto Chad with dear life, so was Sharpay holding onto Zeke, "Please put the gun down Tyler…please." Taylor begged. She was still laying on the floor, the only people standing was Gabriella, Troy and Tyler.
"This is stupid Tyler, you're being over dramatic. No one hates you. I didn't do anything wrong, neither did Troy. Nothing that big to make you want to shoot us at least."
Tyler wanted her to shut up so he shot the ceiling, which then he heard a lot of screaming and yelling outside. GUNSHOT!!! SOMEONE HAS A GUN!! Was all he heard from outside. Miss Darbus tried opening the door but it wouldn't open. "What's going on?!"
"MISS DARBUS!" Sharpay yelled, "We're hostage!"
Tyler pointed the gun to Sharpay, "Aye you shut up or I'll shoot you, that's everyone's last warning.
He then looked at Gabriella to answer her questions.
"Hello! I told you to be with me, everything would've been easier, everyone would've been happy!"
Troy stepped forward.
"Don't make me shoot."
"Do it."
He pulled the trigger back…
Sorry it's so…dramatic. And I got the lockdown idea from One Tree Hill. Hah. But yeah. REVIEW PLEASE!! And please let it be nice :) Very much appreciated.
