A/N Hey guys! Well i guess this will be the second-to-last chapter. 1 more left.

Declaimer: I own nothing at all

"Troy. We need to talk to you" said Sharpay seriously and Taylor nod her head in agreenment.

"Um..ok sure..whats up?" asked Troy undertainly. Why the heck are Gabriella and Chad here? Sharpay looked at Gabi. Gabriella understood what she's trying to hint and stood up.

"Hey Chad, why dont we go get some dessert? I heard they're serving chocolate brownies today" she said and walked away with a grinning Chad trailing behind.

The gang -except Troy- shook their heads at him and turned their attention to Troy.

"Um..Troy..you know when you said you saw, well heard, Chad asking Gabi to the dance?" asked Taylor nervously. Troy rolled his eyes groaning.

"Guys please! Do we really have to talk about it? Seriously its not big deal. I dont care that Chad asked Gabi..."

"...to help him ask Taylor to the dance!" finished Sharpay. Taylor blushed and Troy stared at her confused.

"What? What do you mean?" Sharpay sighed and took a deep breath.

"Troy, when you saw Chad asking her, what exactly did you hear?"

"Well I couldnt hear well because of the bush I was hiding behind..." he started but got inturrupted by Jason.

"Dude!! You spied on them?!" Jason exclaimed, shocked. Troy looked down embarrased.

"Well, you could say curiousity got the better of me" he replied lamely. Jason was about to reply but stopped when he saw the glare Sharpay was sending him.

"Anyway Troy. Please continue" she said.

"I didnt really hear the whole part. The thing I heard was Chad saying 'go to the dance with me' and saw how Gabi's face lit up and squealed, happy agreeing to whatever he was asking for" he said sadly, remembering the heartbreaking memory. He expected some sympathy from his friends but was shocked to hear them laughing.

"Why are you guys laughing?! I dont see anything funny in this situation!" he exclaimed angrily.

"Troy..dude..you got the whole thing mixed up!" said Zeke.

"Yea. He was asking Gabi to help him ask Taylor to the dance!" said Ryan, emphasizing Taylor. Troy stared at him in shock.

"And by the way missy. We want to hear full details on what happened in that classroom" said Sharpay, pointing her finger at Taylor. Kelsi shook her head and giggled at Taylor's confused and embarrased face. "Gabi saw you guys going in" she said. Taylor nodded her head silently, turning into a deep shade of red.

"Um..girls. Thats not the point here" said Ryan.

"Wait. So guys are telling me that Chad was just asking Gabi to help him and not go out with him?" asked Troy. The whole table nodded their head. "So Chad never asked Gabi out?" the gang once again nodded their head. "So the past few days I have been acting like the biggest jerk ever ignoring them for something that never happened?" he got the same respons from them. Jason leaned over to Zeke and whispered "And I thought Chad was the slow one" Zeke chuckled quietly.

"Oh and not to mention you getting us all into this mess thanks to your stupidity." said Taylor. Troy sinked low in his seat ashamed of himself feeling very guilty. How stupid could I get?! How could I have ever doubted my best friends?

"You know, its not too late to fix things" said Kelsi soflty, nodding her head to where Chad and Gabriella stood choosing their dessert.

"You guys think they'll forgive me? Heck I dont think they'll even speak to me!" said Troy.

"Dude, it doesnt hurt to try" said Ryan with an encouraging smile. The rest of them nodded in agreement and smile. Troy took a deep breath and stood up.

"Your right. It doesnt" he said before heading off to Chad's and Gabi's direction.

(( With Chad and Gabriella ))

"Chad could you please just pick one!" pleaded Gabi. They have been standing there for the past 10 minutes waiting for Chad pick a brownie. "I think you already have enough" she stared at his tray in disgust which was filled with two plate of Jell-O, five pieces of chocolate cake, six brownies, and fruit.

"Gabi, please be patient. These stuff need concentration. Plus you can never have enough dessert" Gabriella stared at her bushy-haired friend strangely.

"Whatever" she looked up and saw Troy heading their way.

"Chad" she hissed. "Dont look now, but Troy is heading our way" she whispered. Chad snapped his head up an looked around.

"Chad! I said dont look!" Chad turned his attention back to the brownies. Gabriella acted as if she havnt seen Troy. The both looked up when someone cleared their throat and Gabriella found herself staring at those blue eyes she loves so much.

"Hey guys..." he said rubbing the back of his neck, a habbit he grew with when he's nervous.

"Hi" they replied. They stood there awkwardly staring at the ground.

"So..how have you been?" said Troy still staring at the floor.

"Um..I've been better" said Chad.

"Yea, same" said Gabi.

Troy took a deep breath and looked up. "Listen guys, I want to apologize for my behavior the last few days and..."

"Its ok Troy, we understand" said Gabi softly.

"No! Its not ok! What I did was absolutley stupid! I had no right to treat you like that and for something that never happened! I dont even know why I reacted that way" he said. The truth was he did know why. He was jealous. But he couldnt admit that to them.

"Dude, its no big deal. We forgive you" said Chad smiling. Gabriella nodded her head smiling as well.

"Thanks man" he gave Chad a manly hug and Gabriella a friendly one, both wishing it to be more.

"Troy, man, can I ask you something?" said Chad.

"Um..yea sure" said Troy nervously. Gabriella looked at Chad confused.

"Should I get the chocolate brownies or the caramel?" he said.

"CHAD!" exclaimed Gabriella, rolling her eyes. Troy chuckled and shook his head.

"What? I cant decide!" he said dumbly (is that even a word?)

"How about..."

"Both!" Troy and Chad said simultaneously.

Gabriella shook her head. "We'll guys I'll go pay for my lunch since Chad here wouldnt let me pay before" she started to walk away but got stopped by Troy.

"Ill pay. Its the least I can do" Gabi smiled up at him and shool her head. "No, Troy its ok. You dont have to"

"But I want to" she knew she wouldnt win this arguement. She sighed and nodded her head.

"So um..how have you been?" asked Troy.

"Troy, you already asked that" Gabriella giggled. Troy just grinned at her. God how I love that giggle!

Once he payed for her lunch they headed back to see the whole table laughing at something stupid Chad did.

"What are you guys laughing at?" asked Gabi, as she and Troy took their seats at the table and the whole gang looked at them smirking, knowing everything is ok now.

"You guys dont want to know" said Kelsi giggling. Troy and Gabi shrugged and ate their lunch, laughing and talking like old times.

(( After school Gabi P.O.V ))

I was standing at my locker after school getting ready to go home. I was really happy to have finally made up with Troy. The dance is in two nights and I still havent got a date. I had some offers but I politley rejected them.

"Hey" said Troy, leaning on the locker door next to mine. I looked over at him and grinned.

"Hi" we got back to our daily routine where Troy would take me home. Boy am I glad about that!

"Um..Gabi..I wanted to ask you something, but..I dont know its just..." Aww he's so cute when he rambles!

"Troy what is it? Just spill it out" I said, giggling at his nervousness.

"OK. Well..um..would you..like to..uh..go to the dance with me?" he asked hopefully. I froze in shock. Did he just ask what I think he asked? No it cant be. Did Troy Bolton finally ask ME to the dance! Oh my god! I then realised that I havnt said anything.

"You know what. I'm sorry I didnt mean to put you on the spot. I'm sure you already have a date. Just forgot about it and..." there he goes again.

"I'd love to." I said, facing him with a wide smile on my face. Troy looked surprised for a second but soon his face broke into a grin. I shut my locker closed and we headed out to the parking lot. We both had goofy smile on our faces. We got in the car and Troy backed out of the parking lot and into the highway.

"Hey Troy?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yeah?" he said keeping his eyes on the road.

"What about the girl you talked about the other day?" I was still curious about her. Troy looked at me briefly before returning his gaze on the road.

"She's sitting right next to me" I was shocked by he response.

"Me?" I said surprised. He smild at me and nodded. I blushed and looked out the window. Oh wow! He actually likes me!

"What about you? What happened to that guy?" I turned my head to look at him and smiled. "He's sitting right next to me too." He smiled and grabbed my hand interlocking our fingers together. I blushed at his actions and looked at our hands. They fit perfectly together.
