There's an addition to Chapter 4. Here it is:
Troy stood in the closet for what seemed like hours, but as Gabriella finished singing, he did the most stupidest thing a guy could do. Sneeze. Gabriella turned and looked towards the direction of the closet. "Did you hear that?" Gabriella asked Kelsi; she never took her gaze away from the closet. Troy thought Gabriella was going to walk up to the closet and find him. "No, I didn't hear anything." Kelsi lied and Gabriella turned towards her friend. "Oh..." And then she smiled. "Thanks for rehearsing with me." She walked out of the music room, just as Troy stepped out of the closet. "You better clean that closet Kels." Troy smiled. "Oh, here's a song that would be perfect for you to sing. You should try it out." Troy looked at the title. Miss Independent "It's Gabriella's favorite song; her absolute favorite." Kelsi said as Troy thanked Kelsi. The bell had rung for lunch and they both walked out together, walking to the cafeteria.
And here's Chapter 5. Thank you for your patience! Please review! :)

Miss Independent. Miss Independent. The song title rang in Troy's head; he couldn't get it out. Now all he had to do was learn the lyrics and practice. But who would be smart enough to know the song? He entered the cafeteria and spotted Ryan talking with the guys as he walked over to them. "Where have you been man? We've been looking everywhere." Chad sounded like he was worried. "I was uh...talking with Kelsi about something." Troy said. "About what...?" Jason asked. "Is it about the spring musical?" Ryan asked. "Yeah; I guess..." Troy trailed off as he sat down next to Chad. "Let me see the song." Ryan held out his hand as Troy gave him the piece. "Oh... Miss Independent. Nice piece. I wonder why Kels--" Ryan trailed off and hid the music under the table just as Sharpay, Taylor, and Gabriella passed by. Kelsi and Martha were following right behind them.
Kelsi sat down with the guys, but sat next to Ryan instead. He read the song right in front of him. "Why'd you do that?" Zeke asked. "You know this song is Gabriella's favorite song. Everyone should know that." Ryan answered. "None of us know that though." Chad said. "You never heard Gabriella sing before?" Ryan asked surprisingly as the guys shook their heads. "Come to the auditions after school. And Troy, I'll help you with this. Come by the music room after lunch." Troy nodded. Sharpay walked over and Ryan hid the song under the table one more time. The girls followed Sharpay over. "Kelsi, why are you over here?" Taylor asked Kelsi. "I wanted to sit next to Ryan and talk to him about the choreography for the musical." Kelsi answered, looking up. "Oh; Ryan what do you have under the table?" Sharpay asked her twin brother. "Nothing..." Ryan replied.
"C'mon, show it to me." she held out her hand as Ryan refused. He handed the paper under the table and passed it to Zeke. Zeke passed it to Jason, who passed it to Chad, and Chad gave it to Troy. "Troy, give us the sheet music. Please?" Sharpay asked politely. "What music? This is nothing." Troy said. "Are you sure Bolton?" Gabriella asked, walking behind Troy. Troy passed it to Kelsi and she couldn't pass it back. "Kelsi, give us the sheet music." Sharpay said. "Why should I Sharpay? You've always been mean to me. So why should I listen to you?" Kelsi couldn't believe that she was standing up for herself. Sharpay was silent for a moment, but she was about to say something when, "Look Sharpay, we're all tired of hearing your stupid rules and mean comments about everyone in the damn school. If you keep treating us like this one more time, you're out of the musical and I'll tell Ms. Darbus that you've been acting like this." Kelsi said, standing up and walking away. All of the guys stood up and watched Kelsi leave.
"I'm gonna go." Jason told them, following Kelsi. "What did we do?" Sharpay asked. "Let's go..." Troy said as the guys turned and walked away. "Nice going Sharpay." Gabriella said walking away. Taylor and Martha followed Gabriella out of the cafeteria as Sharpay stood there. Everyone was staring at her and she walked out of the cafeteria angrily.

After lunch in the theater; "Great job Gabriella." Gabriella smiled as she got off the stage and went to sit in her seat. Ms. Darbus called out Troy's name and everyone stopped clapping. "Dude, if you want her back, you have to do this." Chad said. Troy groaned and walked out on stage. "Troy will be singing 'Miss Independent' by Ne-Yo." Ms. Darbus said looking down at her notes.

Troy finished the song and everyone started clapping. Even Ms. Darbus was blown away by the song he had just sang. Troy was surprised himself that he had blown away his homeroom teacher, but the only thing that he feared was the fact that his dad wouldn't allow him to be in the musical. Troy handed the microphone to Sharpay just as she was called to sing. He headed backstage, "That was amazing." Chad said. "It seems like you have your own little talent there Bolton." Gabriella complimented, smiling as she walked up to him. "Other than basketball...? Pssh! That's nothing." Troy shrugged it off as he walked passed her. "Troy!" she called out to him before Sharpay was about to finish her song. He turned to look at her. Gabriella was wearing a red tank top, a white sweater, dark blue jeans, and black high-heels. Her hair was tied to the side and she had on her necklace with a 'T' on it.
Everything that Gabriella seemed to wear, Troy wanted his hands on. But as he looked at the necklace, he couldn't help but think of the past.
Flashback.
"Gabriella, wait!" 15 year old Troy called out to his best friend before she left to go back to California. "What is it?" she turned around. Gabriella Montez was wearing a white headband and she was wearing a white dress. "I want to give you this." Troy gave her a box as she opened it. It was a necklace with a 'T'. "T for Troy?" she asked him, smiling. He nodded as she hugged him. "Thank you." She pulled back from the hug and walked away with her parents.
Flashback ends.
"What are you staring at?" she asked him as he looked up at her. "Oh; that necklace you're wearing. That's very beautiful." he complimented. "Thank you." Gabriella smiled as she walked away. "What did you tell her?" Zeke asked. "That necklace she was wearing, I told her that it was very beautiful." Troy said and walked out of the theater; his friends following him.
