A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed my first chapter (Even though there weren't many of you. I'm not complaining, at least I got more than 1 review). Okay, I know I forgot my disclaimer, but, here's my disclaimer for the WHOLE story: I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY. ONLY MY OWN IDEAS AND VERY ODD IMAGINATION. There. Here's chapter 2.
"Exactly how much money do you have?" Taylor asked.
"Daddy gave me his credit card and he said I can use it to buy whatever I want," Sharpay said, fishing the credit card out of her purse.
"Ooh look!" Kelsi said. "It's gold!"
"How come you got a credit card?" Ryan whined. "I want a credit card!"
"Daddy gave it to me because I am RESPONSIBLE," Sharpay said, putting it back into her purse.
"But I am responsible," Ryan said, crossing his arms. "R-E-S-P-O-N-S-B-L!"
"Ryan, you spelled responsible incorrectly. It's R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-L-E" Sharpay corrected. "Besides, who thinks that nearly burning down the house is responsible?"
Everybody shook their heads.
"See?" she said. "Burning down houses is not responsible Ryan,"
He stuck his tongue out at her.
"Did he just stick his tongue out? At me?" Sharpay asked.
Gabriella and Troy nodded.
"That's it!" She yelled.
Sharpay took one of her pillows and repeatedly hit Ryan on the head.
"Pillow fight!" Kelsi yelled.
She took her pillow and threw it at Jason, who picked it up and threw it at Gabriella.
"Hey!" Gabriella exclaimed, taking the pillow and whacking Troy over the head.
"What are you doing?" he asked, trying to defend himself. "I didn't do anything!"
Troy grabbed one of Gabriella's fluffy pillows and blocked her. Zeke was crawling around on the floor, trying not to get hit but one pillow came flying at him and knocked him over. Sharpay was walking backwards trying to fight off her brother and tripped over him.
"Ow," she said, rubbing her head. "That hurt,"
"Are you okay?" Zeke asked, sounding very worried.
"Yeah, yeah," she said, getting up.
She was surprised that Zeke was being so caring. Zeke touched her head and she winced. He shook his head.
"Come on, we need to get you an ice pack for that," he said.
"Wait, wait, wait. First you can bake and now you're a doctor?" Sharpay asked. "There's no way,"
"Yes there is," Zeke said, sitting down on one of the beds. "My mom owns a bakery and my dad, he works at the hospital,"
"Okay, now I believe you," Sharpay said, touching her head again. "Now can we go get an ice pack?"
"Sure," Zeke said, standing up again.
They walked out the door together.
"Do you think those two will ever get together?" Gabriella asked, sighing.
"Maybe," Jason replied. "They could walk back into the room holding hands and we could pester them,"
"I'm gonna talk to Zeke about this," Troy said. "He knows he loves her. And we know it too,"
He walked past Gabriella and tripped over her leg, landing on top of Sharpay who had just walked into the room with Zeke.
"Holy st!" Sharpay exclaimed as Troy fell on top of her.
Troy immediately rolled off of her and apologized. He ran out of the room as quickly as he could.
"Are you okay?" Kelsi asked as Troy zoomed out the door.
"No!" Sharpay said, wincing as she tried to get up. "That bastard! I'm gonna kill him! My ankle! My ankle!"
Sharpay started sobbing and the ice pack fell off her head.
Troy rushed out of the room and out of the hotel. He sighed. He decided that he would walk around for a while, to clear his head. As he neared the park, he ran into some girl and accidentally knocked her over.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" he said, helping her up.
"No, no, it's okay, I should have watched where I was going. I'm rea-" she began, brushing off her skirt.
"Alexa?" Troy asked, sounding very surprised? "Alexa Hamilton? Is that you?"
"Oh my god!" Alexa exclaimed. "Troy Bolton! It's you! I haven't seen you in, like, 10 years!"
They hugged each other and smiled.
"Umm, do you wanna go get lunch or something?" Troy asked. "That is, if you haven't had lunch yet. I mean, it is already 1:30,"
"No! I mean, of course I'd like to go to lunch. I haven't had lunch coz I was busy uhh, doing stuff," Alexa said, picking up her sunnies.
Troy and Alexa walked to the nearest restaurant and sat at a table outside. A waitress soon came up to them and asked what they wanted, but she said it in French. Troy was puzzled.
"Ahh, I see," the waitress said. "You don't speak French, do you?"
Troy shook his head and so did Alexa.
"Alright," she said. "What would you like?"
"Could I please have the seafood platter?" Troy asked.
"And can I get the spaghetti bolognaise?" Alexa asked.
"Sure," the waitress replied. "That comes to a total of, in dollars… $11.45,"
Alexa took out her wallet.
"Hold on, Alexa," Troy said, taking out his wallet. "This one's on me,"
He handed the waitress a 20 dollar bill.
"Thank you," the waitress said, handing Troy his change.
"Thanks, Troy," Alexa said. "But I could have paid for that myself,"
"I'm the man here, and I don't want you spending all your money," Troy replied. "So, what brings you to good ol' Paris?"
"Well, I came here to visit my dad," she said, putting her purse away.
"Cool," Troy said.
"Hey, anyone know where Troy went?" Gabriella asked.
"Nope," Chad replied, not taking his eyes away from the TV screen.
"Okay,"
She took out her cell and rang Troy's number. No answer. She tried again but there was still no reply.
Maybe he turned it off, Gabriella thought.
"Umm, guys," Gabriella said. "I'm just gonna go look for Troy,"
"Yeah, yeah," Ryan said, taking one look at Gabriella.
She waved to him and he waved back. Gabriella walked to the boys' room and knocked on the door. No body answered.
I guess he's not there, she thought.
Gabriella made her way to the street and looked around. No sign of him. She checked the park and the outside of the mall. Not there either. She spotted him talking to a girl with wavy blonde hair at one of the restaurants near the hotel. He was apparently eating lunch with her. She felt tears well up in her eyes and ran back into the girls room and flopped onto her bed. She began sobbing. Taylor jumped up and ran over to her, kneeling next to her bed.
"Hey, hey," she said softly. "What's wrong?"
"I bet it was Troy," Sharpay said, smirking.
"Yes, Sharpay, it was Troy," Gabriella said, wiping away her tears.
"Well, what did he do this time?" she asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Nothing," Gabriella replied.
She whispered in Taylor's ear.
"Alright," Taylor said, getting up. "Guys, can you please get out?"
Chad stood up. He signaled for Ryan and Jason to come with him. The two followed him into the room next door.
"Okay," Taylor said, kneeling beside Gabriella's bed again. "What happened?"
"Well, Alexa," Troy said. "I gotta go now. It was nice seeing you again,"
"Thanks for having lunch with me, it was great seeing you too," Alexa said, standing up.
Troy stood up and began walking away. He turned one last time and gave a small wave. She waved back and smiled.
"Hey!" Chad exclaimed. "Give it back! I thought of this first,"
"Well, thinking about eavesdropping on Gabriella isn't cool," Ryan said, crossing his arms and plopping down onto his bed.
Jason handed the glass cup back to Chad and sat next to Ryan. Chad sighed. He put the cup onto one of the bedside tables.
"What d'you wanna do?" Chad asked.
"It was nothing really," Gabriella said, clinging to her pillow. "I just saw him eating lunch or something with a girl,"
"Did you recognize her?" Sharpay asked. "Coz if you do, I'm gonna give her the worst beating EVER!"
"No, no, no!" Gabriella exclaimed. "It was nothing really, Sharpay, I'm just…"
"Hahaha," Taylor laughed. "Gabby is jealous!"
"No I'm not!" Gabriella said, throwing the pillow at Taylor.
"Yes you are!" Taylor shrieked as the pillow connected with her face.
"Gabby's in love, Gabby's in love!" Sharpay and Taylor chanted.
"Stop it!"
Suddenly the door opened and Troy walked in. The girls immediately stopped and just looked at him.
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update but my internet was stuffed so I couldn't post it. Please review! I am so sorry that I didn't update sooner. So since I didn't update sooner, here's a little snippet from my next chapter:
Gabriella pushed past Troy and ran away as fast as she could. She ran up the stairs until she reached the top. There were a couple of benches overlooking the town and spread throughout the whole complex were plants of all different varieties.
Sitting on one of the benches was a guy who had short, spiked up black hair and electric green eyes.
"Hey," Gabriella said, finally realizing she wasn't the only one up here.
The guy turned around a looked directly at Gabriella.
"Hi," he said, taking off his hood. "Umm, I'm Seth,"
"Gabriella," Gabriella replied, walking closer to him and extending her arm.
They shook hands and smiled.
