Okay, here's the new chapter. This will probably be my last update for this today. I don't know, I'll have to see. Anyway, please review!

Gabriella didn't stop running until she got all the way home. She sat down on her couch and sighed. She couldn't believe that she quit the competition, but she had a good reason. Just then all the girls came bursting through the door.

Taylor stopped out of breath. "Gabriella…man your…fast" she said trying to catch her breath. Gabriella just laughed.

Kelsi spoke up, "Well I guess what Taylor is trying to say is WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" She started screaming. Everybody looked at her in terror. They had never seen this side of Kelsi before.

Gabriella sat there frozen to her seat, afraid to say anything. Kelsi huffed into she continued.

"Gabriella", Kelsi whined, "We need you! You are like, the brain of the competition and we can't win without you!"

Gabriella laughed. "Kelsi I'm sure you guys will be just fine. It's just I don't want to do anything that will make Troy get madder at me!"

Sharpay looked at Gabriella. "Aw, come on Gabi, Troy never really got mad at you! It was basically you getting mad at him!"

Kelsi nudged her and Sharpay said, "What? It's the truth!" Kelsi rolled her eyes.

"Anyway," Taylor started glaring at Sharpay and Kelsi, "I think what we're trying to say is that Troy couldn't be mad at you even if he tried" She said sweetly.

Gabi had tears in her eyes. "Really" She sniffed.

Taylor laughed and all three girls came over to her. "Now hurry up and say that you don't quit already! You're not a quitter are you?" She asked Gabi like she was a soldier or something.

Gabi laughed. "Okay, okay I'm in as long as we don't get into anymore fights please?" She practically begged.

They all laughed at her. "Deal" They Said.

Then they agreed to meet on Wednesday night for a sleepover and planning.

Meanwhile back with the guys…..

Troy groaned in frustration when he got home again. Then the doorbell rang. If it's Chad I swear I'm gonna shoot myself in the head. Chad was standing in the doorway with the others. Great, it's him.

"So dude how ya holding up?" Chad asked trying to calm him down.

Zeke said happily, "Yeah man I mean you got two letdowns already today, one is about what happened at the competition and the second one is about you not being psychic!" He says nodding his head rapidly.

Oh dear god not again! Troy thought. "IF YOU GUYS SAY ONE MORE TIME THAT I AM PSYCHIC I SWEAR….." He yelled at the top of his lungs.

They all covered their ears. "Yo man, chill out we get that you're stressed!" Jason said.

Troy continued on, "Well you know what, I'm upset so have Ryan take my place in the competition because I quit! If Gabi's not in it then neither am I!" He said.

The boys were about to say something when Chad's cellphone rang. "Oh my gosh, it's Taylor!" He squealed in a girls' voice.

Jason sighed. "And so the girlfriend act comes out!" He says sarcastically.

Chad looks at him and says, "Oh really?"

Jason nods as Troy gets annoyed by the ringing of Chad's cellphone and yells, "Well you just answer your dang cellphone already?" He yells.

"Ooops!" Chads says and answers his phone. "Hey sweetie watsup? Oh yeah….she is! That's great pumpkin!.." Chad continues on as all the guys look at him weirdly. He leaves the room and then comes back.

"Uh huh, okay I'll talk to you later honey bear! Love you! Buh bye!" Then Chad hung up.

He noticed everyone was looking at him. "What can't a guy talk to his girlfriend?" He send offensively.

"Oye" Ryan said. And shook his head at him.

"ANYWAY," Troy said tiredly, "What did Taylor want?"

Chad spoke up, "Oh, she said that Gabriella is back in the game just so we would know so you wouldn't do something drastic." He shrugged.

Troy looked at him suspiciously. "Is that ALL she said" Asking him, while eyeing him. Chad gave in. "Okay you got me. She wanted to know why we were saying that Troy was psychic." Troy glared at him.

Chad held up his hands offensively. "Hey man, it was all her! Oh and she told me that Gabriella overheard what Taylor was saying about you being psychic and she believed it and is mad that you use your powers for evil in the competition." After he was done Chad was smiling.

Troy stared at him. He then got up and walked over to the wall and started to bang his head on the door.

Zeke stopped him. "Whoah man, you're gonna have like head damage or something, dude!" He pulled Troy from the wall and sat him down. Chad burst out laughing.

"Dude, what's your problem?" Troy asked snottily.

Chad kept on laughing. "Troy I was kidding ever since the psychic thing. It was all a lie! Haha." Everyone else laughed except Troy who was staring at Chad intently.

Chad got scared. "Uh oh, I haven't seen him this mad since the third grade when I stole has graham crackers!" he yelled and backed away.

In a deep voice, "If you guys don't get out of my house in 5 seconds I swear…." Everyone cleared out of his house. Troy shut the door and smiled to himself.

"Perfect."

Gabriella was sitting in her room alone while thinking on and off about calling Troy. She would call him and immediately hang up because she didn't know what to say. Suddenly her mom came in,

"Gabi, if you are going to call Troy go ahead and do it already because I need to make a phone call!" Her mom said sternly.

"Yes, mami!" Gabriella replied. "Thank-you" Her mom said and shut the door.

Gabriella sighed. She didn't know what to do so she called Taylor on her cellphone.

"Gabi?' Taylor asked.

"Yeah hey Tay, it's me. I have no clue what to do about Troy! My mind is going crazy! Who knew this competition would be so stressful!" She said into the phone.

"Yeah, um, Gabi about that. Chad called me after I talked to him at your house and he said that Troy is definitely not himself. He's been all depressed and he scared Chad and the guys half to death when Chad tried to joke around with them and chased them out of his house!" Taylor exclaimed.

Gabi sighed. She knew it was because of her. "It's because of me, right?" Gabi said softly.

"Sorry Gabi, but it is" Taylor said sadly into the phone.

Gabi sighed again and said, "Hey Tay I'll call you tomorrow so the girls can hang out, maybe even the gang since I have to talk to Troy sometime" She mumbled.

"Okay, bye!" Taylor said cheerfully into the phone and hung up.

After Gabi hung up she shook her head.

"I'm going knutz!"

Well there it is! I'll update again tomorrow. Sorry, I'm not giving out any secrets about what's to come! You'll have to wait and see! Please review!
