KAy I hope you guys like this chapter and thanks so much for all the reviews.

Dsiclaimer: I don't own anything

"sure," I said following him out. Nobody noticed us walking out because they were all laughing and yelling. "you were saying something about there bring more to you telling me that you and Sharpay were over?"

"Yeah well, here I got you something," He said taking out a nicely wrapped box and putting it in my hands.

"Troy you shouldn't have. I can't take it," I said trying to give it back to him but he wouldn't take it.

"Please open it," He said.

"Troy you didn't," I said looking in the box. It was six pieces of paper. "No Troy, I cannot let you give me this. It must have cost you a fortune!"

"Think if it as a late Christmas present but I didn't have the money then and so to get the money," He said.

"You what," I asked. "you didn't like sell something really important right?"

"No, but I did lose something important. I lost you," He said.

"what? I'm confused. What do you mean you lost me?"

"I knew how much you wanted to go to New York and see Wicked but since I didn't have the money I made a bet."

"That's always bad," I said. "Those things always backfire. I lost 20 to Taylor for thinking you would stay with Sharpay for more than a week I think."

"I know but it was the only way." He looked down sadly. "The bet was stupid but I won it and I got you these."

"I think I have a pretty good idea what the bet was about but just tell me anyway's just to confirm," I said looking down. There were two tickets to the actual show and then two going there and coming back. The flights were four days apart. And the trip was for spring break.

"they would all give me 50 if I could break up with you and date Sharpay for five days and stay away from you for two weeks," He said. "So I did and the tickets came yesterday in the mail."

"Troy, I can't believe you did this for me," I said. "you really shouldn't have." A tear fell down my face. "I would have been happy with just being with you. I loved my Christmas present."

"But this is what you deserved," He said. "I'm really sorry Gabriella that I hurt you but I thought it was best."

"Troy, thank you so much but I still can't take these. If you were thinking that I was just going to forgive you after breaking my heart, you were wrong. I can't do it." I set the box on the gound knowing he wouldn't take it and walked back into the gym letting a couple of tears fall.

"I'm so confused," I whispered to my self.

"What happened," Taylor asked coming up to me.

"I found out why Troy broke up with me," I said. "but I can't gt back together with him."

"Is that why he's in the hall hitting stuff," Jason asked. We all looked out the gym doors. No one moved but me and once I moved no one else was going to.

"Troy," I said softly. "Troy stop." I put my hand on his arm and stopped him from punching the locker again. His knuckles were bright red.

"Why should I?"

"Because you're going to hurt your self and land in detention," I said pulling him back a little. "I'm sorry Troy." Out of nowhere Troy started sobbing. I wrapped my arms around him and just stood there.

"I'm sorry Brie, I love you so much," He whispered.

"I know. Come on, the bells going to ring," I said.

"Wait Brie, please I love you so much, please just give me one more chace. I will never bet on us again," He said holding onto me. I looked back into his blue eyes. They were slightly red but the blue was still as clear as ever.

"I'm sorry Troy, I can't get hurt again," I said. "I do love you and I always will." We just stood there looking at each other until the bell rang and the hall flooded with people. But we still didn't move, they just moved around us.

"Brie," He said. I shook my head and stepped back out of his grasp. Crying lightly I turned around and ran down the hallway up to our old spot.

He had to make that stupid bet. Maybe I should have let him in, given him one more chance. I sat there for the rest of the day. Finally I walked back down the stairs andgrabbed my stuff that Taylor had put in my locker.

"Hiding?" I turned around.

"I thought everyone was gone," I said.

"I was waiting," He said. "you don't have to come to dinner tonight." I smiled at him.

"No, I'm coming, I want to meet your family," I said. "Do you mind giving me a ride home? I walked today." He nodded. "Thanks Daniel."

"It's no problem, but I do need to talk to you," He said. "We can talk before dinner. Do you mind not going home because I'm supposed to pick Hannah but right about now."

"Oh yeah no problem," I said wiping my eyes. "Give me one minute to tell my mom." He drove me home and I just walked in through the front door.

"There you are. I've missed you and I've got a surprise!" My mom said coming over and hugging me.

"Hey mom, it has to be quick because I'm going over to my friends house for dinner," I said.

"Is something wrong. You're eyes are red," She said.

"It's nothing," I said.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" She asked. I nodded. "Well I've been going on a lot of business trips and they're all to the same place. And when I went I met someone," She said.

"So you pay no attention to me and being back a boyfriend?" I asked.

"Well no, I've been seeing him for quite a while now," She said. "Actually a year and he's moving down here."

"So you've been lying to me for a year?" I asked. "I can't believe you mom, do you even know what's going on in my life?"

"Of course I do but I can have a life to," She said.

"Then who am I dating," I asked.

"Trevor of course," She said.

"Wrong, we broke up but we're friends. There's a new guy in school that I'm friends with and Troy is bringing a lot of drama into my life and I don't meed another problem!"

"He is not a problem," She said. "but until he finds a place to stay he's staying here." A guy that looked around the age of my mom walked out of the kitchen.

"Is this the famous Gabriella?" He asked. "I'm Mitch," He said.

"I've got to go," I said. "I'll be back later, make sure he's not in the house," I added.

"Gabriella, that is no way to talk to a guest!"

"Fine, it's nice to meet you but I'm sorry when I find out that my mother has been lying to me for the past year I'm not to happy!" Another tear fell down my face. "I don't know anything about you, finding out that you're going to have a new step dad isn't fun when you've never met the guy."

"what?" My mom asked. I pointed towards her left hand, she had forgotten to take the ring off. "Oh."

"Yeah that oh, I'm not stupid," I said. "Now excuse me but there are people waiting for me." I stormed out of the house and got in the car.

"Is everything alright?" Daniel asked.

"what happened?"

"I just need to be as far away from my house as possible," I said. "My mom's engaged."

"Are you serious? When did you find this out? I didn't even know she was dating someone," Hannah said.

"Yeah, and I didn't know she was dating anyone either. They've been dating for a year. I just found out when I went into my house and felt the humungo ring on my mom's finger."

"I'm so sorry," She said. "You must have been mad."

"Yeah, I was yelling. His name is Mitch," I said. We pulled up to a normal house just five minutes away.

Kay I just added that little piece of drama at the end. But sadly the next chapter should be the last one. Please REview!
