"Are you sure?" Was the first thing that came out of his mouth. He wasn't thinking at the moment. His head was spinning in a million directions.
Gabriella rolled her eyes and handed him the pregnancy test.
There it was as clear as day. Those two pink lines running through the pregnancy test. Those two pink lines that were so small, but they are about to change his life drastically. "What are we going to do? How are we going to take care of a baby?"
Gabriella looked up at him like he was dumb. "I don't know, maybe we should have thought about that before we had sex." She said sarcastically.
"You don't understand Gabriella. This is my senior year. This is the year that all the scouts are going to decide weather or not I should get a scholarship. I don't think they'll offer me one when they find out I have a baby."
Gabriella chuckled. "So you don't think this affects me as well? I mean I'm always the brilliant girl that parents tell their children to be like. Imagine when they find out the brilliant girl they want their children to be like isn't brilliant enough to remember protection."
Troy rubbed his head and got up off of the bed. He paced back and fourth. He started nibbling on the nail of his thumb.
Gabriella sat on the bed and watched as Troy paced back and fourth.
"I know that you're probably going to say no to this, but what about an abortion? I mean it would make all of this go away." He said looking at Gabriella.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked standing up and looking Troy dead in the eyes. "Are you really that selfish?"
"What do you mean selfish?" He asked a little insulted. It took him a lot of thought to come up with that idea.
"All you are thinking about is yourself. Not me or this baby." She said pointing at herself.
"I am thinking about you." Troy said taking Gabriella's hand and looking into her eyes softly. "You have a bundle of colleges asking for you. Do you really think that Harvard and Yale will give it to you with a baby?"
Gabriella thought about it for a second. She knew that he was right, but she also knew that it was wrong. "I'm sorry Troy but you're wrong. I can't kill a human life because you and I messed up. It's not like this baby asked to be here."
"It's not like we asked for it to be here either." He spat back.
"Wow, the things you learn about somebody when situations get tough." She said pulling her hands out of his. "I thought you were so much better than that Troy. I thought that you were such a sweet, nice, and good boy. Well I guess I was wrong."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Troy asked upset.
"You know when I first went to East High people told me I could never get you. That Troy Bolton never looked at shy, nice girls like me. I told them they were all wrong. I told them that you weren't as big of a jerk as everybody thought. However they were right and I was wrong. You are jerk.
Those words stung. You are a jerk. Kept playing in his mind. Before he could realize what was going on he was in his car with the radio on heading home.
Gabriella closed the door. She couldn't believe how weird Troy was after she said he was a jerk. She went upstairs and threw the pregnancy test in the garbage. Then threw the small garbage into the garbage outside.
Then she came inside and went upstairs into her room and took a breath. She sat down in front of her door, put her knees to her chest, put her arms around her knees, and cried. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore. Even when her mom came home and went to her room, and never even bothered to check up on her. That's all she could do was cry. She didn't know what she was going to do, but for one thing she was not getting an abortion.
