Thanks so much for the reviews. Here's the next chapter. Sorry for the long wait, school's almost ending and we have been doing a lot of stuff and haven't even started messing with finals.


For calculus Mrs. Trinton gave us bookwork to do in class and for homework because we had a test tomorrow. I love how she always lets us review before a test. I was working on the 21st problem when someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"What do you want Troy," I asked. We had gotten to choose our seats and now I was regretting it.

"I need help," he said. I rolled my eyes and nodded. I may be mad at him but I don't try and make people fail especially when they have the courage to ask. Troy must have a lot of courage to ask me of all people.

"What do you need," I asked quietly and turned around in my chair. He pointed to the one he was having trouble with. I showed him how to do it and everything. "there you go," I said when I was done.

"thanks, and Gabriella," he asked. I looked back at him. "I was wondering if maybe you would tutor me in chem. you heard Mr. Kently, one more bad grade and I'm off the team. My dad would go ballistic. Please," he asked. I thought it over for a minute.

"I don't think that's such a good idea. Maybe you can ask someone else. Sorry," I said and turned back around.

"Please, you're the only one who I really trust to actually tutor me. I know that I'm not your favorite person right now." I snorted and laughed a little. "Okay I get it but please."

"I'm sorry Troy but I think you should ask someone else. If you can't find anyone before the next test then call me and I'll help you the night before the test but you have to try to find another person. The next test is in two weeks on Friday," I said and turned around again.

I went through history without anything happening, Troy wasn't in that class so I was safe there. We took notes and talked about the world. Soon lunch came.

I walked into the cafeteria and looked for my friends, they weren't at our normal table but one with one less chair. "What are you guys doing sitting here," I asked sitting down with my lunch.

"Well we figured, why have an extra chair," Martha said. "Cute shoes," she said at the end. I was totally confused until Troy walked up to us.

"Why are you guys sitting here," he asked looking at the full table. "Where am I supposed to sit," he asked. We all looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Um," Taylor started. I suddenly got a huge surge of confidence within me.

"Well you can sit with your new girlfriend, the football team or anyone else for that matter, just not here. You may want to sit down, people are starting to stare," I said motioning to everyone around us. I smiled proudly.

"Why can't I just sit here, I mean you guys are my friends," he said. I laughed out loud. "what?"

"You actually think that these people are your friends, after what you did? You think that we want to sit next to you or even talk to you, you called us geeks. How many of you guys actually want to sit with him, if you do then please do so, I won't be offended at all," I said. None of them moved. "Bye Troy," I said.

The whole place was staring at us either wondering what was going on or what was going to happen next. He stormed out of the room throwing his lunch away. I sat back down taking in what I had just done.

"Wow," Kelsi said. She moved here last year but all of became best friends. She had brown hair with green eyes, skinny but not to skinny. She went through a lot of phases right now. Her parents think that it's just how she grows up, we don't.

Right now she's in the phase of fate and Karma. Not all of the palm reading but just karma and how fate can control your life.

"I can't believe that I just did that," I said. "Thanks for not going with him you guys, you could've though," I added.

"We would never," Martha said. "What about you Chad, why didn't you leave," she asked. We all looked at him.

"He isn't the same anymore. Ever since Tuesday he's never around of acting the same. It's weird and I don't like it," he said. Taylor pecked him on the cheek.

"That's sweet, so I was thinking about your break up and I think it may be karma," she said.

"So, I did something horrible so my boyfriend broke up with me? What did I do," I asked them.

"Don't listen to her, you two just weren't meant to be," Taylor said.

"You're starting to sound like her," I said. "I don't think so and in three weeks you'll think that you were crazy if I remind you what you said," I told Kelsi.

"So what are you guys doing this weekend," Ryan asked changing the subject, he was Martha's boyfriend. He is also Sharpay's brother but he's nothing like her. He's nice. "Maybe we should have a movie marathon," he suggested.

There was a chorus of yeas and cool's from the table. "where should we do it," I asked. "We could go to the theater but that will be really expensive."

"We could do it at my house. But you would have to bring some movies since all of the ones in my house are for my brother and sister," Martha said.

"But I want to see that new movie that just came out, the one with the really hot guys," Kelsi said.

"How about we go to that movie in the morning and then go back to Martha's house to finish the marathon." Everyone nodded at Taylor's idea.

"Cool, how about we meet up there at ten," I said. They all agreed. The bell rang so we all threw away our trash and walked towards our lockers. Of course my next class was English. And the worst part was that it was only me and him, no one else, just us.

I walked into the classroom and sat in the front knowing that Troy would be right in the middle. Everyone was talking about one thing or another until the next bell rang.

"Okay today I am assigning you to groups for a four week project," Ms. Abben told us. Most of the class groaned, not including me. "There will be groups of two and then two groups of three," she continued.

"Why do we have to do this," Troy asked from his desk. Ms. Abben rolled her eyes at him as people snickered.

"Anyway, each group is going to be assigned a writer, each person will read a book written by that author and write a report on it. Those will be individual grades, but then you will have to do a video project together about the author, or remake a scene from a movie, if there has been one made."

"Do we get to pick our own groups," Troy asked.

"No, I have already chosen your groups and one more time talking without permission equals detention Mr. Bolton," she said.

"I really don't want another math lesson, one with good enough," he said. The class laughed, this was probably the smallest class I have even been in. There were only sixteen people in it, considering the four hundred in my grade.

Ms. Abben ignored his comment and continued explaining the project but I wasn't listening, what if I was paired up with Troy? Oh no.

Please no.

"Are you listening Ms. Montez?" she asked me. I shook my head lightly and nodded at her. "What group are you in," she asked me.

"I'm sorry I don't know," I said looking down.

"Looks like Ms. Goody two shoes wasn't paying attention," Troy said from behind me. Instead of saying something back I ignored him.

"Pay attention next time," she told me. "You're in a group with Trevor and Troy," she told me. I groaned quietly so no one could hear me. Troy was laughing at me with his friends. "Oh and detention with me tomorrow afternoon Mr. Bolton, or whenever you don't have detention." She said walking to her desk and looking at her computer. I looked back at him, he wasn't laughing any more.

"Ms. Abben," I said quietly. She looked up from the papers she was grading to me. "I was wondering if I could maybe change groups."

"I'm sorry, but no. I already have everything ready, I thought that you would like your group," she said. Yes even the teachers know who's dating who. Apparently she hadn't heard about my break up.

"Well, Troy and I broke up this Tuesday," I said. I saw her face change from confused to pity.

"I'm so sorry, but I can't make any changes, I would if I could," she said and started grading the papers again. I walked back to my desk and found Trevor waiting for me sitting in the desk next to my own.


Okay so I hope you like it. Please review this and Wishes Do Come True, I posted the next chapter a couple days ago and have gotten like no reviews.
