Okay, I'm putting off my new sequals for awhile because I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing for those yet! So for now, here's another chapter! Thanks to all who reviewed, and PLEASE if you read my story, please PLEASE Review! And no flames please! Thanks:-)

The next day(Friday), for making up for not seeing her friends for a while, Gabi decided to have a sleepover with the whole gang.

Everyone was over at her house talking when Gabi decided to ask her mom.

"Hey mami?" Gabi asked. Everyone stopped talking.

"Yes, Gabriella?" Ms. Montez answered.

"Can I have a sleepover tonight with the whole gang?" Gabi asked politely. She closed her eyes and crossed her fingers behind her back. Please, please Gabi begged in her mind.

Ms. Montez looked at her unsurely. "I don't know Gabi. Tonight is when I have to go out of town for the weekend."

Gabriella sighed. "But mami, I don't want to be alone and I can handle it! I'm a big girl!"

Ms. Montez eyed the rest of the gang. Mostly the boys though. Then she eyed her daughter. "Are you sure you guys won't do anything I wouldn't want you to?"

Gabi left her mouth wide open. "Mami!" She said clearly embarrassed. Everyone giggled silently as Gabriella's cheeks turned a little pink.

"I'm sorry Gabi for embarrassing you but aren't you all dating each other?" Ms. Montez asked her daughter.

Gabriella was about to speak but Chad interfered. "Not all of us because some of us are too stubborn to get together!"

Gabi and Troy's eyes bulged out as they turned red. Taylor smacked Chad(yet again) a top of his head.

"Ow!" Chad whimpered. "God, for the last time stop beating me up!" Chad yelled.

Troy rolled his eyes. "Well, we'd do that if you would stop bugging me about being psychic which I'm not!" Troy protested.

Chad stood up and so did Troy. "Oh yeah, well if you would stop putting me down all the time this wouldn't happen!"

"What do you mean putting you down all the time? What about how you just won't shut up about things, huh?" Troy yelled back.

Gabriella quickly stepped in between them. "Okay, guys calm down!" Gabriella said nervously, obviously trying to keep everything under control.

"Oh yeah? Well who's the one who's always been such a whimp?" Chad yelled back.

"CHAD!" Taylor yelled as she smacked his arm. "What? It's the truth!" Chad protested. Taylor just rolled her eyes.

"A whimp? About what?" Troy yelled.

"Okay guys!" Gabriella yelled. Then she turned to her mom. "So uh, mami, about that party?"

Ms. Montez sighed. "Okay, it's alright with me. I trust you sweetie!"

"Thank you mami!" Gabriella yelled as she hugged her mom. And then Ms. Montez left.

Gabriella turned back to Chad and Troy who were staring intently at each other. Troy was fuming. He narrowed his eyes at Chad. "Go ahead! Tell me Chad! A whimp? About what?"

Chad shook his head. "I don't think I can say it right here! You wouldn't want me to!"

Troy groaned. "Just tell me! I don't care, I want to know why you think I'm a whimp!" Troy yelled loudly.

"Troy you're not a whimp! Just only about one thing!" Chad yelled.

"Oh yeah? WELL WHAT IS THAT THING?" Troy yelled back at him loudly.

Chad shrugged. "Well it's not really a think. It's actually a person!" Troy looked at him, confused. "Huh?" He asked. Chad just rolled his eyes. "You're a whimp when it comes to GABRIELLA MONTEZ!"

Gabi gasped as her eyes bulged out. Taylor groaned and said, "Oh My God!" Into her hands. Everyone stayed completely silent as Troy turned red as a tomato and was steaming at Chad.

Chad's hand immediately shot up to his mouth. Then her turned to stare at Gabi who turned pale and was about ready to faint.

"Um, why don't you all get your stuff and meet me back here" Gabi whispered. They all nodded and left her house with Troy who was trudging back and was staring off into space.

"Oh my God" Gabi quietly whispered to herself as she slumped down into a chair.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

About 30 minutes later, all of the gang had arrived back at Gabi's house. They all sat around in a circle, no one talking because they were still recovering from the last conversation they all had.

Kelsi cleared her throat as she put her head on Jason's shoulder. "So um, what's this week's competition going to be guys?" She asked.

Sharpay shrugged. "I think it's something like the dunk tank?"

Chad stood up and jumped. "Yay! A dunk tank! I LOVE WATER!" Chad screamed as he ran around yelling and whooping.

Everyone stared at him like a crazy maniac, basically because he was one.

"What?" Chad asked in offense. Everyone just groaned.

"So um, about the dunk tank, do you think we'll be in pairs again?" Ryan asked. Everyone shrugged.

"Probably" Sharpay started, "But if we do have partners everyone just KNOWS who's going to be paired up!" She said as she was wagging her eyebrows at Gabriella and Troy who were, by the way, sitting as far away from each other as possible.

Troy cleared his throat while glaring at Sharpay. "Sharpay?" He asked her.

"Hm?" She answered.

"SHUT UP!" Troy yelled. Sharpay backed away from him. "Fine Mr. Grouchy!"

Troy just rolled his eyes.

Gabi coughed and everyone turned to her. "What?" She asked. "I just had to cough!"

"Oh" Everyone said as they went back to just talking. Gabi had been fed up with it. Everyone was bored and she didn't know what to do.

"Um guys?" Gabi said. Everyone turned to her. "I um, I'm sorry if this sleepover isn't really fun.." She droned on.

Taylor looked at her weirdly. Something's wrong with her Taylor thought. "Gabi, are you okay?" Taylor asked her worried.

Gabi suddenl;y looked up to people staring at her. She started to feel dizzy. "Oh uh yeah, I'm fine!"

But she wasn't fine. In fact she felt awful. She had been totally embarrassed about the Troy thing and she really didn't want to face him. She put her head down and stared at the carpet with confusion on her face.

Everyone gasped. They all stared at her intently. Something was definitely wrong with the girl. Except Chad didn't notice because he was too busy raiding Gabriella's fridge.

Gabriella suddenly shook it off and said quickly, "I'm sorry guys" and then she ran off to her room.

"Gabriella!" All the girls yelled as they started running after her. "Wait!"

Everyone turned around to be surprised that that was Troy's voice who said 'wait!'. They all looked at him weirdly. "Let me do this please" He said quietly.

All the girls smiled to themselves and then nodded as he ran off past them and up the stairs.

They all shrugged as they sat back down. Chad suddenly came back into the living room and noticed that Troy and Gabi were gone. "Did I miss something?" He asked with a mouthful of cheetos.

They all just rolled their eyes as they started talking, more like WAITING for Troy and Gabi to come back down, hopefully together.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Gabi ran into her room and closed the door. She inhaled and then exhaled as she flopped down onto her bed. She knew that in a matter of seconds the girls would be up to comfort her.

She started to close her eyes as a soft knock on the door was heard. Gabi reluctantly sat up. The girls would have just burst through the door.

"Gabi it's m" A soft voice, known as Troy's was heard on the other side.

Gabi held in her breath. Oh my God, why is this happening? Gabi thought to herself. Then she closed her eyes and quickly muttered, "Come in."

The door opened and there stood Troy with a small smile on his face. Gabriella didn't even look up.

Troy sighed. "Gabi, are you okay?"

Gabriella close her eyes. "I'm fine" She muttered. Then she shivered at how her room was so cold and wrapped her arms around herself.

Troy laughed faintly. "No you're not okay, and you're also cold. I know you Gabi, and I know when something's wrong."

He started to step closer to her. But Gabi held up her hand signaling for him to stop. "No Troy!"

Gabriella finally looked up at him. "Sorry" She muttered. "It's just that I need some time alone."

Troy nodded his head in understanding, but he still didn't move. They just sat there and stood there for a while.

Gabriella looked up and realized he was still there. "Uh, Troy?" She asked.

Troy sighed. "Gabi, why can't you just tell me? Even if it's about me and what Chad had said…um earlier, talk to me about it!"

Gabi groaned as Troy got closer and closer to her and he ended up sitting on the bed next to her.

Gabi turned her head in the other direction. Troy took a deep breath before he turned her to face him.

"Gabs, whatever it is I wish I could take the pain away, I really do. Just talk to me whenever you want to. I will be here for you, okay? Always" Troy said as he smiled and gently kissed her forehead.

Then he got up and turned and whispered under his breath, "Smooth Troy" as he left her room.

Gabriella pursed her lips together to hold her from smiling widely. I think I'm going to be okay Gabriella thought as she laid back onto her bed for a few minutes.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

"God, I really want to know what they're talking about!" Sharpay whined.

Kelsi groaned. "We will know when they both eventually come back down, and until then have patience!"

Sharpay moved back. "Gosh, Kelsi I was just whining! You should be used to it by now!"

Taylor rolled her eyes. "Sharpay will you quit ragging on people and rag on yourself please? And both of you CHILL! We all want to know what happens!"

Both girls quickly shut up, but Zeke started defending Sharpay. "Hey don't talk about my boo that way!" He said as they both sat together, hugging.

Then they started making baby noises again. "You're way too cute! Thanks for defending me! Aw you're so sweet! Too cute! No, that's you! No it's you! No you! No you!"

"IT'S BOTH OF YOU!" Taylor yelled. Everyone stared at her in horror. Except for Chad who was making the most noise when he was chomping on his cheetos.

Taylor groaned in frustration. "Chad will you QUIT stuffing your face for two seconds?" She yelled.

"God dang woman! So-rry! But how did you know I was stuffing my face?" Chad questioned.

Everyone groaned. "Please, do NOT say I'm psychic!" Taylor groaned.

Chad shrugged. "Hey the two weasels who were blamed for their weird 'magical' powers are upstairs right now, probably making out!"

Taylor glared at him. But Ryan stood up. "They're WHAT? I thought they were just going upstairs to talk! Those liars!"

Jason quickly stood up and held Ryan down from running upstairs. "Whoa, there bro. Chad was just kidding, calm down!"

"I'm not your bro!" Ryan said.

Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Ugh, why do I have to have a brother who's such a butthead!" Sharpay said disgustedly while checking out her nails.

"Hey!" Ryan said, offended.

Sharpay just shrugged as Kelsi rolled her eyes. "Well at least Ryan doesn't care about his looks 24/7!" Kelsi said as she smirked at Sharpay.

Sharpay's eyes widened. "Excuse' Muah?" She said as she put he hand on her chest. Everyone just groaned.

Just then Troy came down the stairs walking slowly, as if he were really tired.

Everyone sucked in their breath before releasing it when they saw that Gabriella wasn't with him.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

"Where's Gabriella?" Taylor asked quickly. Troy didn't say anything. He just kept walking down the stairs, slowly.

"We want to know now Troy! Where is she?" Sharpay demanded.

Troy held up a hand. "God woman, just let me get down the stairs first! By the way she just needs some time!"

He came over and sat down with the rest of them. "What happened, dude?" Jason asked.

Troy just shook his head. "Nothing, she just said she didn't want to talk and I told her that if she wanted to talk later, then she should just tell me."

They all looked at him weirdly. Something was off with him.

"What's wrong Troy?" Kelsi asked, worried. Troy sighed.

"I might have done something that would change the way she probably feels about me. I um…I kissed her forehead" Troy said hesitantly.

Everyone breathed in relief. "Thank God!" They all said.

Troy looked at them confused. "Huh?" He asked them.

"Well Troy, you just need to tell Gabriella that you like her! She feels the same way, trust me!" Sharpay said.

Troy just sighed and groaned as he laid back on the carpet clasping his hands across the forehead.

But what they didn't know was that Gabi was on the staircase listening in to her friends.
