Here's chapter 8. Hope you like it.

When they got back to Sharpay's house. It was after 6. They were playing games and having a great time. Chad told everyone that his mother had come home, she hadn't been cranky yet. After about few minutes later, they were watching movie. Actually, the girls were watching the movie, while the boys were upstairs in Ryan's room talking and playing video games. When the movie ended, the girls started talking.

"So, what's East High like?" asked Gabriella.

"Holy Cow, you're gonna like it!" exclaimed Sharpay.

"Yeah. It's not like every other high school, everyone's all together and never in several groups." said Taylor.

"Cool, sounds like fun." said Gabriella.

"We always have concerts. You should join. Troy plays basketball and sings. He's always in there with me, Ryan, Kelsi, and this girl named Martha. You'll meet her tomorrow."

"Okay." said Gabriella.

"Okay, random moment, but it's really quiet up there, maybe they're asleep." said Taylor.

"Only one way to find out." said Sharpay, standing up. All the girls followed Sharpay up the stairs and into Ryan's room which was right by the top stairs. When they walked in, all the boys were fast asleep. The girls giggled. Gabriella walked over to Troy and layed down beside him.

"I'm sleeping with him tonight, I figured out that I don't have nightmares when I'm with him." said Gabriella. Sharpay, Taylor and Kelsi nodded and left the room and into Sharpay's down the hall. About three minutes later, all the girls were fast asleep. The next morning, everyone else were downstairs, eating breakfast except for Troy and Gabriella. They were still both asleep. A few minutes later, Troy walked downstairs dressed and everything.

"Where's Gabi?" asked Kelsi.

"Still asleep. Whattime did you girls go to bed?" asked Troy, yawning.

"About 1 o' clock." said Taylor. Troy sat down on a chair.

"You hungry?" asked Taylor. Troy shook his head.

"I don't feel so good." said Troy. Sharpay walked over to him and felt his forehead. She jumped, taking her hand away from Troy's forehead quickly.

"Get me some medicine. Boys, carry Troy into the livingroom." ordered Sharpay. The boys carefully carried Troy into the livingroom and layed him on the couch. Gabriella walked down the stairs, yawning. Suddenly, she hurried over to Troy when she saw how pale he was.

"What's wrong?" asked Gabriella, worried.

"He's burning up, sweetie." said Sharpay, putting a nice cold, wet towel on his forehead. Gabriella took a hold of Troy's hand, sqeezing it. Troy started having a coughing fit.

"I called Jack and Chelsea, they're worried about him, so Cassidy, Chelsea, and Jack are coming over." said Chad. There was a knock on the door, Ryan answered and a few minutes later, Cassidy, Chelsea, and Jack rushed it.

"What happened?" asked Chelsea in panic.

" I think he's just got the flu," said Sharpay. Suddenly, Troy started gagging. "Ryan, get a bucket." Ryan quickly ran into the kitchen to get a bucket. Three minutes later, Ryan ran in and held the bucket for Troy, while he threw up.

"We need to take him to the doctor. Jack, start the car." said Chelsea. Chad, Zeke, and Ryan all help Troy to the car, Taylor and Kelsi carried the bucket and a blanket for the car. Gabriella was crying a little.

"Don't worry, sweetheart, he's just really sick." said Cassidy, soothingly. Cassidy wrapped her arm around Gabriella while walking to the car. Gabriella argued to sit by Troy, she finally won the arguement and they made their way to the hospital. At the hospital, Troy was immediately wheeled to a room. After what seemed like forever, the doctor came out.

"Troy Bolton?" asked the doctor. Chelsea and Jack stood up and quickly made their way over to the doctor with the gang and Cassidy behind them.

"That's us." said Jack.

"How is he?" asked Chelsea.

"First of all, I'm Doctor Reed. Your son's gonna be fine," said Doctor Reed. "He'll be better by next week." Chelsea sighed with relief. Doctor Reed told Chelsea and Jack to make Troy take it easy and that he had to stay for the night, just incase. Gabriella, Cassidy, Jack, and Chelsea stayed there over night. Nothing happen to Troy. The next day, Troy was laying in his bed, watching TV, Gabriella walked in. Gabriella had to stay in the guest bedroom so she wouldn't get sick. Troy had improved over the week and was getting better. Gabriella ran over to Troy's bed and layed down, snuggling into him. Troy wrapped an arm around Gabriella's waist.

"How do you feel?" asked Gabriella.

"Better." said Troy. Gabriella nodded, Cassidy walked in Troy's room, carrying a tray of food. She layed it down on Troy's lap.

"There you go, sweetie." said Cassidy.

"Thanks." said Troy, lifting up his spoon.

"Gabi, we need to talk." said Cassidy. Gabriella nodded, kissed Troy's cheek then followed her mother out of the room.

"Yeah, mom?" asked Gabriella. Cassidy sighed.

"Sweetie, Chelsea wants me to go to a reunion." said Cassidy.

"What's bad about that?" asked Gabriella.

"That means, we're leaving you and Troy alone, you better not do anything I wouldn't do." said Cassidy. Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"We won't." said Gabriella.

"Good. Love you." said Cassidy.

"Love you." said Gabriella. Cassidy kissed Gabriella's forehead then walked down the stairs. Gabriella walked back into Troy room, finding Troy eating.

"Our parent's are going to a reunion." said Gabriella, laying down and snuggling into him again and picking up the other spoon for herself, taking a bite of his chicken.

"Okay." said Troy, giving her the tray because he was done. Gabriella set the food on his bedside table and layed her head on his shoulder. Four minutes later, Cassidy, Chelsea, and Jack had left. Troy and Gabriella were watching a movie, when Sharpay called Troy. Troy picked up the phone and they talked for a few minutes then Sharpay asked for Gabriella. Troy handed the phone to Gabriella. Taking the phone, Gabriella put it to her ear.

"Hello?" asked Gabriella.

"Hey, Gabs. Guess what?" asked Sharpay.

"What?" giggled Gabriella.

"We won't have school for another week. The teacher's are still in meetings." said Sharpay, excited. Gabriella laughed.

"Great." said Gabriella.

"Well, I gotta go, Zeke's taking me on a date." said Sharpay. Gabriella giggled and said goodnight then hung up, setting the phone beside her and wrapping her arms around Troy again. After their second movie, they both fell asleep. When Cassidy, Chelsea, and Jack came home, they were expecting Troy and Gabriella goofing off, but, tonight, it was quiet.

"That's weird." said Chelsea. Cassidy walked upstairs to Troy's room.

"Awh! Chelsea come here!" said Cassidy, quietly. Chelsea and Jack walked up and say Gabriella and Troy cuddled together, asleep.

"Cassie, they are so cute." said Chelsea.

"Women," said Jack, rolling his eyes. Cassidy and Chelsea both smacked him on the arm. "Ow!" Jack pouted and walked downstairs.

"Come on, let's let them sleep," said Chelsea, closing the door all the way. "I think they can have the door shut from now on." Cassidy nodded, agreeing. The two women walked downstairs and saw Jack talking on the phone. After about three minutes, Jack hung up.

"Who was it?" asked Cassidy. Jack walked into the kitchen and sat down. Chelsea and Cassidy walked after him.

"You're father died, about two minutes ago." said Jack, looking at Chelsea.

OMG! That was sad! What's Chelsea going to say? How's Troy going to take it? Find out in chapter 9.
