Troy's Walls-- Chapter Eight.

By bomchickawahwahx3

Thanks so much for the reviews! They really mean a lot to me; You guys are so amazing ;) lol

I'm so sorry about the wait! I hope you can all forgive me (even though I really don't deserve it. Haha)

Well, here's chapter 8! ;D

I'm making my way to study hall when I run into a tiny, petite brunette who seems a little shy but has that friendly feel to her. She looks very familiar like but I can't seem to place her face. Putting on my best smile I say, "Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there."

"It's ok," she replies, "I'm such a klutz, anyway. I'm Jodie by the way." She extends a warm hand my way and I accept it. "I used to go to school here, but I left 3 years ago. Ha, who would've known that when I left freshmen year that I'd be back senior year? Oh my gosh, I must be rambling. I'm so sorry. What's your name?"

"My name's Gabriella. You can call me Gabby, though. I don't mind." I smile at how her attitude suddenly changed. She may not be so bad after all.

"I have study hall next, what do you have?" She asks me.

I show her my schedule and she smiles and says, "Cool, we have study hall together."

A silence falls over us and I rack my brain for possible conversations. I'm about to ask her something when she interrupts me with a statement that catches me off guard.

"So Gabriella, I saw you talking to Troy Bolton over there."

"Really? You saw us talking?"

"Well, I didn't actually see you two talking. I just saw him jog away from you. I mean, I wasn't like stalking you or anything-- I just happened to turn my head when he was jogging away from you."

"Oh, I see. How do you know him? Are you guys like old friends or something?"

Our pace slows down a bit and then she turns to me and says, "We used to be more than just friends. We went out for about 3 years or so. It would have been longer, but then I had to move away. During that period of time, though, I heard that he got involved with another girl named Sara, but then she passed away. And since today is my first day, I was just wondering what the low down was on good ol' Troy Bolton."

"Well, you see…" and I'm just about to tell her the situation between Troy and me when she suddenly bursts out and says something to me.

"Wait, before you tell me anything, I'm going to you something; something that I'm going to trust you with. I know that this may sound crazy and all since I've only known you for like 5 minutes, but I feel like I can trust you so I'm going to tell you."

I nod my head warily and say, "ok…"

"Gabriella, I think I still have feelings for Troy. I mean we were dating for 3 years and that is a long time to commit to someone."

WHAT!? Oh no! This can't be happening. Why? Why? Why? Why? UGH!!

"Actually Gabby, I don't think I still have feelings for him."

I begin to let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding but stop suddenly as I realize she is not through speaking.

"I don't think, I know. I am still in love with Troy Bolton."

A/N: Uh oh! What will happen between Troy & Gabby?!

You'll have to read on to find out ;) hehe.

Review, please! The more reviews I get, the less time it'll take for me to update ;D

Thanks! xoxo
