You Belong With Me

Chapter 5

Monday morning had come and a new week of school was starting. Chad did not look forward about going to school today. He now felt like an idiot in front of Gabriella. Why did he bother he knew she didn't feel the same way about him.

When he got to school the first thing he saw was Gabriella standing alone at her locker packing her bag ready for the first class. Chad slowly walked up to her not knowing what he was going to say.

"Hi Gabi" he said casually like usual pretending noting ever happened.

"Hey Chad" she replied still packing her bag not even looking at him.

"About what happened on the weekend, I'm really sor -" but before he could finished Gabriella grabbed the collar of his shirt, leaned in and placed a kiss upon his lips. At that moment the bell rang for the beginning of class, they pulled away from each other and walked off to class.

The day passed by quite quickly. When it was, the end of school Chad hurried out of class to meet Gabriella. He spotted her by her locker yet again. He ran up to her smiling.

"Hey Gabi" he said and before she could reply he had kissed her. To his surprise, she pulled away straight away. "What's wrong?"

"I can't do this," she told him softly her voice starting to tremble.

"But this morning, you kissed me" he said confused.

"I know, but that was a really big mistake I was confused"

"What over?" he asked

"Troy" she replied simply

"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about"

"After we talked yesterday, I was really confused so I went over to Troy's house and Sharpay was there which then I got even more confused. After I saw that, I definitely thought he was cheating on me because he and Sharpay hardly ever hang out unless I am there. Troy and I have been going through a rough patch lately. We've only started to get back on track this week that's why I've been blowing you off. I didn't want to lose him".

"And, what was going on between Troy and Sharpay?"

"I wouldn't let him explain and I ran out of the room. I hadn't talked to him since until he came up to me in the cafeteria. And when I saw you this morning I don't know it just felt like a spare of the moment thing?"

"So it was revenge on Troy because you think he's cheating on you but you don't actually know that he is"

"I'm really sorry. Troy talked to me at lunch and said Sharpay and him are doing a drama assignment together so they were working on it. Sharpay also offered to go to the basketball game with him so he didn't have to miss out. Nothing was going on they are just friends."

"So you believe him then?"

"Yeah I do. Look, Chad I know you don't like him. But you're going to have to try and get along if you want to keep me in your life which ever way". She turned and walked off.
