Troy walked up to Gabriella who actually looked like she was listening to Ms. Darbus. "I'm sorry for not sticking up for you." He said sincerely. He was about to go on when Mrs. Drbus interrupted.

"Troy take your seat class is about to begin." She said clapping her hands together.

Troy did as Ms. Darbus instructed and went to the back of the room where his seat was located. As soon as he sat down he noticed a note on his desk. He picked it up and it was nobody but Sharpay.

Dear Troy,

I kno dat u supposedly luv Gabriella, but I think u should keep ur options open. If u dump her nd go out w/ me than I promise dat I'll mak it worth ur wild. If u date me ur life will bcome perfect. As I said at ur locker one of daddy's friends to a college named Duke really wants to meet u. I can mention ur name at dinner if ud lik.

Love, Sharpay

Troy looked over the note once more and then crumbled it up in his hand. It had only been a few minutes of school but it felt like a whole year. "I don't like you." He mouthed to Sharpay who was sitting next to him staring.

Sharpay was not amused with Troy's words. Maybe he didn't get the picture yet, but whatever Sharpay wanted Sharpay got. No matter who she hurts in the process. She thought to herself.

When the period was over Gabriella started speed walking to her next class that was on the other side of the school. She slowed when she heard Troy's voice behind her asking her to slow down.

She turned around when and waited at her spot. He came jogging up to her and when he was in whisper distance he started to whisper. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked confused.

"No" She replied with a shrug as if it was no big deal. "Why would I be mad at you?"

"Because of that whole Sharpay thing this morning at my locker."

Gabriella went up to Troy and looked him in his eyes. "Troy do you love me?" She asked sincerely.

"More than life itself." He replied truthfully.

"Sharpay has been flirting with you since the first day I came here. You have never cheated on me before so why should I be worried now?" She said logically.

"Then what was that this morning?" He asked confused.

"You haven't even picked up the pregnancy/parenting book that I gave you, have you?" She asked putting her right hand on her right hip.

"I really haven't had enough time." He said truthfully.

"Well if you would've then you would know that my hormones are all out of whack. So one minute I will be acting like myself and the next I'll be acting not like myself."

Troy looked at Gabriella who looked so fine when she was being all smart. He couldn't help but look down at her stomach that had a little itty bitty bulge but it wasn't noticeable.

"Anyway I have to get to my next period class so I'll see you later." She said going over to him and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"At lunch." He said as he watched her walk away.

"I don't think I'll be going to lunch. I think I'm going to skip lunch and go to the library with Taylor." She said walking backward so she could walk, and talk to him.

"Then I'll see you after school. Don't forget what we have to do." He said loudly. He didn't want to put all their business out there so he left out some details.

"Alright!" Gabriella said loudly and turned around and left.

Troy watched to see if she made it okay. When she was finally out of his sight he walked to his next period class.

As soon as Gabriella walked into her classroom her teacher gave her a green pass to go to the principal's office. When Gabriella was told her heart literally dropped into her stomach.

As she was sitting in the waiting room to go to the principal's office her mind was going a million miles per hour.She thought to herself "How did he figure out she was pregnant? She knew she couldn't trust Chad or Taylor. Why did this have to happen to her?"

"The principal will see you know." The secretary said pointing to the direction of the principal's door.

Gabriella nodded and got up. She took her bag that she was carrying and walked into the door that the secretary was pointing to.

When she first walked in she noticed that the principal was a huge basketball fan. All over his office was basketball, and wild cats basketball items.

"You may sit down." Principal Moits said.

Gabriella nodded again and went over to the seat that the principal had told her to sit in. She watched as the Chinese looking principal went through all her files.

"I must say I am impressed." He said with a stern look on his face. "You are one of our better students."

"Here it comes" Gabriella thought to herself. "I'm going to be kicked out of high school." "I won't be able to get a job." She thought to herself.

"Ms. Montez you are done." He said handing her all of her files.

"What?" Gabriella said surprised.

"You are done. You have all your credits so you can graduate already." He said putting a smile on his face.

"What do you mean its only November?" She said confused.

"Well according to your files you skipped Social Studies, English, Math, and Science in seventh grade to take those subjects in eighth grade." "You have all your credits for all of your main subjects already so you're done."

Gabriella had completely forgot about skipping those classes. "So I don't have to come back to school?" She asked confused.

"You can always come back for senior events. It would be wrong for me to say you can't, but according to your files you are officially done with East High. You can wait until next semester and sign up for college courses."

Gabriella took a deep breath and looked at the principal. "Are you being serious right now?" She asked looking around. She felt as if somebody was playing a trick on her.

"You never heard of people graduating early? Such as Martin Luther King Jr." He said looking at Gabriella.

"Yeah, but I never thought it would happen to me." She said pointing at herself.

"Well it has. Now you can go along and go to all of your classes or you may leave school."

"Thank You!" Gabriella said shaking the Principal's hand and smiling. After she was done being congratulated she went to her next period class. She decided to finish out the school day, and then never coming back to the school again.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. She told Taylor, and Troy about the principal thing and they congratulated her. There wasn't much else that happened.

She was sitting in Troy's passenger seat as they were going to go see there new apartment. There was an acward silence before Troy began to talk.

"You know we have to tell our parents, right?" Troy said looking at the road.

"Actually I was kind of hoping that we could just skip that part. Maybe when we move in together they would just think we were two crazy teenagers in love." She said hopefully.

"They deserve to know that they have a grandchild coming into this world in a couple of months." Troy said sternly.

"I know it's just I can see what's going to happen. My mother is going to cry, and Antonio will start telling her that I need to go to some type of hospital where they deal with girls that have my problem, and my mom will take Antonio's side."

Troy looked at Gabriella who looked as if she was about to cry. "I know that's not true. She's your mother I bet she loves you more than she loves Antonio."

"Maybe you haven't been in my house in a while." She said whipping the tear that rolled down her face. "When did you start to become the responsible one anyway?" She asked sarcastically.

"I think it's time for me to grow up. I mean I'm going to be a ..." He studdered "a..." "father" he spat out.

Gabriella looked at Troy. She could tell he was really trying to change for this baby. She could also tell that he was scared abotu becoming a father.

"Besides it's not like I want to tell my parents either. My mom is going to sit there and cry and my dad is probably going to be the one screaming at me."

"If we tell them together I think it would be better." She said.

"Yeah, and we have to tell them soon. I mean you are getting big and we don't want them to have to figure it out."

"Alright then we can tell them tomorrow." Gabriella said.

"I don't think tomorrow would be good. I mean first we have to get the apartment just in case they do kick us out, and have been to the doctor yet?" He asked conserned.

She shook her head no.

"Why haven't you been to the doctor's yet?"

"I'm scared to go to the doctors by myself." She said looking at her feet.

Troy put his right hand on Gabriella's thigh and looked at her quickly. "You don't have to go there alone. I'll be there." He said trying to make her fell better and drive at the same time.

"I'll go if you promise that you won't leave me." She said with a blank expression on her face.

"I promise." He pulled up into somebody's drive-way. "Here we are" he said parking the car.

"This isn't an apartment this is a house." Gabriella said looking at the house. It was really big and it was blue.

Troy opened the door for his beautiful girlfriend and looked at the house.

Just than a tall, blonde came outside. She went over to Troy and gave him a hug. "Gabriella this is Tarsha. Tarsha this is Gabriella" He said introducing the two ladies.

"So you must be the girl that Troy is always talking about." She said with a smile. She put her hand out.

Gabriella shook the womans hand. "I'm sorry to say that he has failed to mention you." She said confused.

"Oh, I'm Troy's aunt." She said with an even bigger smile. "I live in this house all by myself, and when Troy called and told me about his situation I told him he was aloud to move in with me. I have all of this space, and nobody to share it with."

"Oh, so you know about..." Gabriella said pausing in the middle of her sentence.

"Yeah, I know about the baby." She finished for her. "I already know what my brother will do when he finds out, and since Troy is the my only nephew I just couldn't say no when he asked."

"So you're Mr. Bolton's sister?"

"Yeah, he's older than me by about thirteen years. I was a surprise to my parents. My mom didn't even think she could have anymore children when she had me." She stated proudly.

"I think we should go and see where we will be staying." Troy said inturupting the two girls conversation.

"Follow me." Tarsha said going inside of the house. When u first walked in there was a door. If you went staright there was another door or you could go up a set of stairs. They headed up the set of stairs. "This is where you'll be staying."

They all headed up the stairs and Tarsha got a set of keys to open the door. When you first walked in there was a lot of room. It was an all white apartment. There was a big empty space and then there was a kitchen. If you went to the right there was a couch and a small television.

If you went all the way to the right there was another door. When you opened the door there was a big bedroom. "Here is where you would stay." Tarsha said.

Then she walked past the television area, and kitchen again and all the way on the left side was another door. When she opened it there was another bedroom that wasn't as big as the other. "Here is where the baby would stay." She said pointing inside of the bedroom.

After she showed the room that was pretty much it. "Now usually I would make people pay around 50,000 for a place like this, but since Troy is my nephew it's only 250,000."

Troy looked at his Aunt like she was crazy. Then he went into his back pocket and held out a large amount of cash. "Here is half."

Tarsha nodded and continued. "Now this is your apartment. As long as you pay rent on time then I don't care what you guys do up here." She stated then she smiled and left.

"So how do you like it?" Troy asked Gabriella who still looked in shock.

"I love it!" She squealed. "It's the most beautifulest thing I've ever seen."

"I thought you would." Troy said with a smile. He loved seeing his girlfriend smile. Her raven hair always looked so bouncy when she was happy.

"Now all we have to do is tell our parents." Gabriella said sadly

"It's alright as long as we have each other it will be fine." He said to try to cheer her up. The only problem was if he believed it himself.
