Two Weeks Later:

"My parents want to meet you." Gabriella said to Lucas as they were sitting in AP biology class. She had been making enough excuses and had officially run out.

Lucas' throat tightened, "What?"

Gabriella patted his hand sympathetically, "Don't worry. They don't bite at all."

"Oh." Was all Lucas could say. He had seen one of Gabriella's father's cases on television and he was a no bullshit type if guy.

"Gabriella, since you're talking would you please explain what the cell theory is?" Their teacher, Mrs. Roberts asked. She was famous for getting kids in trouble

Gabriella smiled sweetly, "Of course. Cell theory states that the cell is the fundamental unit of life, and that all living things are composed of one or more cells or the secreted products of those cells." Mrs. Roberts turned and Gabriella rolled her eyes and muttered "Bitch."

Lucas sighed, "Ok. When do they wanna meet me?"

Gabriella shrugged, "Ugh. How about tonight?"

Lucas nodded, "That's cool with me."

Gabriella grinned as the bell rang, "See you tonight."

~With Lucas~

Lucas was sitting in history class when Michelle strolled in and sat down. "We need to talk." He said.

Michelle rubbed her temples, "Shut up. I have food poisoning. I puked last night and have a major headache so just don't talk to me."

"We need to stop this…whatever is going on. The blackmailing stuff." Lucas whispered.

"Lucas can you please shut up?" Michelle snapped. "We can talk later, ok."

Lucas looked at her shocked, "Fine, I'll leave you alone.

Michelle sighed, "Thank you. About this quote, unquote blackmail thing is something I can agree on that can quit."

Lucas raised his eyebrow, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to anymore, ok." Michelle lied. There was a much bigger reason. "Is that a good enough reason?"

Lucas blinked, "Ugh yeah its cool with me. I guess."

"Good." Michelle replied.

~After School~

"Ok daddy, Lucas is coming over today." Gabriella told her dad when she got home.

Greg put the newspaper down, "Good. Can't wait to meet him."

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Don't scare him ok?"

"I will if I want to Gabriella. I'm your father." Greg answered.

Cristina sat down, "Don't worry. You're father will behave tonight."

Gabriella smiles, "Thank you mom."

Greg frowns, "Fine. I'll be nice."

~With Lucas~

"Michelle I thought you said we were done." Lucas exclaimed as Michelle walked into his house.

Michelle sat down, "We really need to talk."

Lucas sighed, "What more could you possibly want?"

"I think I'm pregnant." Michelle told him.

Lucas felt like he had just been hit by a bus, "What do you mean you think?"

"Well I got one negative test and one positive test." Michelle answered.

"This cant be happening." Lucas said. "How could you be so stupid?"

Michelle gasped, "Me? Hello you knocked me up dumbass."

"I don't want a kid." Lucas told her. "So don't count me in on any of your plans."

"What?" Michelle shrieked. "Are you doing this to keep Gabriella?"

"We just started out relationship Michelle. I don't want to lose her." Lucas answered.

Michelle laughed, "You're gonna lose her when I tell Troy that I might be having your kid."

Lucas stood up, "You don't have to tell him I'm the father. Now I'm gonna go over to my girlfriend's house."

Michelle grabbed her purse, "You're a bigger jerk than I thought you'd be." She grabbed her stuff and left.

~Later At Gabriella's House~

Gabriella and Lucas were sitting in the backyard by her pool when she turned to Lucas, "Are you alright? You already met my parents. The hard part is over with."

Lucas snapped out of his deep thought, "Yeah I'm fine."

Gabriella sighed, "You're lying to me."

Lucas snorted, "No I'm not." He lied.

Gabriella grabbed his hand, "What's the matter?"

"You wouldn't understand. You'd hate me with ever fiber in your being." Lucas replied.

Gabriella chuckled, "Try me."

Lucas took a deep breath, "For the past two weeks I've been sleeping with Michelle. And she's pregnant."

Gabriella felt like she just got hit by a bus. Her mouth went dry, her mind went blank and she felt like her throat was closing. "We've only been dating for two weeks." She managed to choke out.

"I know. The first time was the night of your party and she kept blackmailing me." Lucas answered. "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to hurt you."

Gabriella let out a laugh, "You think this is better. There is a word people like to use when they don't want something. Its called no."

"I'm really sorry." Lucas tries to touch Gabriella's hand but she pulls away.

"Don't touch me." Gabriella ordered. "And you aren't sorry. I thought you'd be different because I thought I left all the jerks back in New York."

"But I don't want Michelle or the baby. I want you." Lucas said.

"Get off of my property before I call the police." Gabriella threatened. Lucas sighed and got up.

"I'm really sorry." He said before leaving.

"Fuck you. Oh Michelle already did." Gabriella spat before walking back into her house.

"Mija what's going on?" Cristina asked her daughter.

Gabriella started up the stairs, "Lucas is an asshole."

~With Troy and Michelle~

"So what did you want to talk about?" Troy asked.

"You're gonna hate me for this." Michelle started.

Troy shook his head, "I doubt it."

"I think I'm pregnant." Michelle said.

"Oh really?" Troy said stunned. "Do your parents know?"

Michelle nodded but sighed, "Troy its not your baby."

A look her hurt and shock spread across Troy's face, "So you cheated on me?"

"Troy I'm really sorry." Michelle said. Troy cut her off,

"So whose the father?"

Michelle put her head down, "Lucas."

"As in Gabriella's boyfriend, Lucas?" Troy asked.

Michelle nodded, "Look I don't know if I'm 100% sure."

Troy turned around, "Its doesn't change the fact that you slept with him."

Michelle wiped away a tear that had fallen, "I'm really sorry."

Troy shook his head, "You shouldn't have cheated on me. We're through."

~At Gabriella's House~

Angelo softly knocked on his sister's door, "Can I come in please?"

"NO." Gabriella shouted on the other side of the door.

"Too bad." Angelo said as he walked into his sister's room.

Gabriella pulled her purple comforter off her head, "Angelo what do you want?"

Angelo sat down next to his sister, "I'm sorry about Lucas. When we get to school on Monday I'll kick his ass."

Gabriella laughed quietly, "Its not your fault. I just cant pick good boyfriends."

"Don't blame yourself." Angelo said. Lola walked into the room with a gallon of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and three spoons.

"Hey guys." Lola said, crawling into her sister's bed. "I'm sorry chica. I cant believe he sat down and acted like he wasn't a complete slime ball."

"Me either." Angelo replied.

"I can ring his doorbell and when he answers I'll punch him all up in his man business." Lola told her sister.

Gabriella laughed, "The suburbs is no different than the city."

Angelo laughed, "That's true. But the city was way more fun."

Gabriella's phone buzzes.

Troy: I'm outside. Come 2 my car

"I'll be back." Gabriella said, jumping out of her bed and walking out of her house. She saw Troy's Porsche in her driveway and got in. "Hey."

"Hi." Troy replied.

After a few seconds of silence, Gabriella speaks up, "She told you?"

Troy nods, "Yup. He told you?"

"Like an hour ago." Gabriella answered. "I feel so stupid. It went on right under our noses."

Troy chuckled, "I know. I haven't been single in over a year."

Gabriella smiled, "Oh I got to teach you."

"Lets not date anyone for a while. Lets just focus on ourselves." Troy states.

Gabriella grabs his hand and shakes it, "Deal."

~The End~
