Gabriella left TROY standing there, very confused, and walked over to the rest of the gang. Taylor gave her a weird look. "Um, Gabi? Why is Troy looking at you weirdly?" She asked.

"Uh, I don't know! Do you?" Gabriella asked quickly. Taylor raised an eyebrow. "Uh no…" She replied weirdly. "Okay!" Gabriella said cheerfully as she skipped over to Sharpay and Kelsi, now leaving a confused TAYLOR behind.

"Hey guys! Ready for the guys to get dunked?" Gabriella asked them excitedly.

"Oh yeah! We're gonna crush them!" Sharpay said as she narrowed her eyes at the boys, but Kelsi just stayed quiet.

"Um, Kelsi, is something wrong?" Gabriella asked her friend. "Uh no, but why is Taylor standing there, staring off?" Kelsi asked.

Gabriella turned to look at her friend who was still standing in the same spot where Gabriella was just at. Gabriella turned back to the girls and shrugged. "Well, I don't know, uh, maybe she is uh…thinking about Chad?" She replied, obviously lying.

Sharpay and Kelsi just stared at her in confusion. Gabriella looked at them weirdly but then shook her head and skipped off.

Gabriella had now left a confused SHARPAY and KELSI behind. (AN: Okay, yeah, by now you guys are probably confused, huh? Well just keep a reading!)

"Okay, guys! Now it's time for the GIRLS to dunk the BOYS!" The announcer boomed. Everyone started clapping and cheering, some more light than others, for they were very confusedcough.

"First up to dunk, is Taylor and Chad!" The announcer continued. The girls clapped wildly as Chad sat in the seat above the water.

"Go get em' Tay!" Gabriella cheered as she laughed and clapped some more. Troy just stared at her, confused. If she can be THAT hyper, then why does she get all nervous when I try to talk to her all of a sudden? He asked himself.

Taylor walked up with three balls in her hand and aimed one at the bullzye, but didn't hit it so Chad didn't go in.

"Haha, yeah it'd be funny if you didn't dunk me at all!" Chad laughed as Taylor narrowed her eyes at Chad. "Oh yeah? Well would it be funny when I did this?" Taylor asked as she threw the ball, and hit the target right on.

Chad immediately fell down into the cold water as the girls cheered and clapped. The boys just groaned.

Taylor smirked at Chad when he came up back from the water, and sat back down. "I told you that you shouldn't be talking!" Taylor yelled at him as she threw again and hit Chad again.

When Chad came back up, everyone was laughing at him. Chad groaned as he mumbled to himself, "I guess I was wrong" As much as it hated him to admit it, he had to.

Chad grabbed a towel and started to wipe his head with it. Taylor smirked as she walked over to him. "Have a nice DIP?" She asked stretching out the word 'dip'.

Chad just glared at her. "Hey, I dunked you twice two!" Chad yelled back. "Now we're even, but I can't WAIT for the egg toss!" He continued.

Taylor frowned. "Is that all you ever think about? The competition?" She yelled. Everyone was staring at them.

"Uh oh" Gabi, Sharpay, and Kelsi all whispered. All the boys were just shaking their heads at Chad.

Taylor just stood there, with her arms folded, and scowling at Chad. Chad sighed. "Oh come on, Taylor! Who's the one who gets WAY to emotional?" Chad yelled.

"Wrong answer" Troy sighed to the boys. They all nodded as they all thought, Stupid Chad.

"WHAT?" Taylor screamed. Chad covered his ears. "Wow, scream a little louder would you?" Chad said sarcastically.

Taylor just glared at him. "I WILL! Chad you are just a SELFISH JERK! We are OVER!" Taylor fumed as she stepped on his foot and stalked away.

"Ow!" Chad whimpered, rubbing his foot. Troy and the rest of the guys came over to Chad. Troy put a hand on Chad's shoulder and started to say "Dude, I told you…." But Chad fiercely snapped, "Oh alright!"

Chad stomped away, leaving the guys laughing their heads off.

The girls were watching the boys laughing, and they immediately thought that they were laughing at Taylor. "Ugh, what jerks!" Sharpay hissed.

"Does that mean that you are mad at your boyfriends?" Taylor whispered to all of them. Gabi coughed and Taylor rolled her eyes before saying, "Excuse me, correction, does that mean that you are mad at the guys?" She re-asked.

Everyone nodded as Taylor sighed in relief. "Good! Because, me being the only one who was mad at Chad was hard work!" She laughed as all the girls started giggling with her.

The boys stopped laughing, and were now watching the GIRLS giggle. They all raised their eyebrows. "How much do you bet that they are planning out strategy?" Jason asked the guys.

"I do!" All the guys chanted and nodded. They put their hands in and said "GO BOYS GO BOYS!" They shouted and ran off cheering and getting the crowed pumped.

All the girls just looked at them in disgust. "I can't believe Jason would do something like this!" Kelsi whispered almost in tears. "Aw, shh, Kelsi calm down!" Gabriella said as she hugged her friend who started sobbing.

Sharpay groaned in dismay and stomped over to the boys who were all still chanting and cheering like idiots. "STOP!" Sharpay barked.

Chad scoffed. "Why should we?" He asked. Troy slapped Chad's arm. "Ow!" Chad whimpered as Sharpay rolled her eyes and tapped her foot impatiently.

"Sharpay, honey, what's wrong? Were the cookies I gave you too rotten?" Zeke asked. Sharpay pushed him away and said, "YOU GAVE ME ROTTEN COOKIES?"

Zeke backed away and held his hands up. "Whoa, Sharpay! I'm sorry, I didn't give you rotten cookies, but sweetie, what has gotten into you?" Zeke asked calmly.

"You have no right to call me sweetie!" Sharpay yelled before she stomped away. "Okay honey!" Zeke yelled confused. Sharpay just groaned as she kept walking.

Zeke sighed and turned back to the guys. "What is going on?" He asked weirdly. Troy and Jason just shook their heads as Chad snorted, "I guess you know how I feel now, right?"

The boys just shoved him away as they walked up to the girls. "Hey girls!" Troy said trying to sound cheerful. Jason's eyes immediately flew to Kelsi, who looked as she had been crying.

Jason looked at her worried and walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. "Kelsi, what's wrong?" He asked softly.

Kelsi shook her head and pushed him away. "It's YOU! You guys have gotten way out of line here! You started making FUN of Taylor!" Kelsi yelled.

The guys just stared at her, confused. "No, we made fun of Chad!" Zeke replied, Troy just smacked him upside the head. "What?" Zeke mumbled.

"What the heck? We were never making fun of Taylor, why would we do that?" Troy asked trying to sound calm.

"We don't know why! That's what we are TRYING to figure out!" Gabi yelled. Everyone stared at her in shock, probably because she actually said something normal to Troy.

"I thought you weren't talking to him?" Sharpay asked Gabi, confused. Gabriella cast Sharpay a glare as Troy stared at Gabi in shock. "You aren't talking to me?" He asked. "Why?"

Gabriella just turned away with tears forming in her eyes. Troy didn't stop though, he just kept on continuing. "Is it because of this competition, because if I recall you have been acting weird around me before today even happened!" Troy continued getting angry.

Taylor sighed in frustration. "No one knows WHY Gabi has been acting this way! She's been acting weird AROUND all of us! We've all noticed it!" Taylor yelled as Gabi continued to look away.

Everyone was staring at her when she finally turned back to them, with obvious tears in her eyes, threatening to fall. "Let's get back to the competition, because they are all waiting on us, I'll go next" She replied harshly before she wiped her eyes and walked off.

No one moved for a split second, but when they did they moved very SLOWLY. The announcer sat there, astounded by what just happened.

He cleared his throat and spoke into the mic. "Okay, that was very different than what we expected, I'm sorry it had to happen this way. But we will continue on. Next up are Gabriella and Troy.

Again, Gabriella winced as the announcer put her and Troy's names together and again everyone noticed this and sighed as Troy sat in the seat.

Gabriella sighed heavily before grabbing three balls and starting to practice aim. Troy just sat there, trying not to make eye contact with Gabi because it was hard for him. Gabriella sighed as she took a first throw and dunked Troy right on the spot. The girls cheered as Gabi actually smiled, but inside she felt somewhat guilty. Once Troy was back up on the seat, Gabriella went for a second time, and sure enough hit him in again. Then again, on the third time.

The girls were cheering wildly, especially because Gabi was the strongest competitor. Gabi smiled to her team, before walking over to Troy, grabbing a towel, and handing it to him.

Troy took it cautiously as Gabriella smiled faintly and turned away and walked back to the girls. Troy sighed as he buried his face in the towel and groaned.

The day continued with, Sharpay and Zeke shooting, which of course, Sharpay missed all the shots. The girls sighed, but let it go. "What? I could have broken a nail!" Sharpay huffed as the girls just rolled their eyes.

Kelsi and Jason were next as Kelsi hit Jason once. The girls were proud of Kelsi for at least having the courage to compete, after her breakdown earlier.

"Okay, guys! All of our teams have NOW competed in the Dunk Tank! Now it's time for the Egg Toss!" the announcer cheered, as the audience clapped.

Troy was sitting this one out, and Ryan was in for this round. The pairs were Gabriella and Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi, Chad and Ryan, and Jason and Zeke.

"Now, we have the East High Gang!" The announcer boomed as the gang waved and smiled to the crowed as they took their positions.

Everyone had calmed down a lot more, so it wasn't as intense. Taylor had her mind set to the egg as she threw it to Gabi first and then Gabi threw it back.

Everyone was doing great the first couple of tries. "I wonder how long it will take for Taylor to get out!" Chad whispered as the guys snickered.

Unfortunately, Sharpay overheard this, and what happens next, isn't pretty. Sharpay groans in frustration, takes the egg, and throws it at Chad and Ryan, causing it to splatter all over them.

Sharpay smiled victorious, but heard, "SHARPAY!" She slowly turned around to the girls, fuming. "Sorry!" She apologized.

The girls rolled their eyes as the announcer said, "Well then! Looks like, um, Sharpay and Kelsi, and Chad and Ryan are out!"

The guys and girls sat down and watched intently as Gabriella and Taylor, and Jason and Zeke continued to play. Troy basically had his eye on Gabi who looked extremely nervous and not fully aware of the competition.

"Gabi, we can do this!" Taylor whispered as Gabi nodded and threw the egg back to Taylor. All of a sudden they heard a splat….

And they turned to see Zeke covered in egg. Jason was laughing and said, "Good thing you like eggs, huh?" Zeke just glared at him as they went to go wipe Zeke's face off.

The girls were rolling and laughing, until they realized that they had won. "Congratulations to the girls!" The announcer cheered as everyone clapped. Most of the people were chanting, "GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA!" As Gabi smiled and waved shyly.

Troy's heart was ripping when the crowd was chanting. I should just leave Troy thought, I can't take all of this.

By the time Troy drifted out of his thoughts, he looked up and noticed that the girls had picked her up, champion style, and she was on Taylor and Kelsi's shoulders, with Sharpay supporting them and she was waving wildly and chanting to the crowd.

Now I KNOW that I can't do this Troy thought as he packed his stuff and left without saying goodbye to anyone. Gabriella noticed Troy leaving and inside it broke her heart.

If only he knew.

Wow. Okay, confused? I bet you are, and sorry that it was so dramatic, but it goes along with the plot in my mind real well, sorry! I'll try to make it funnier next chapter, but I can't make any promises.

Anyway, about the confusing part, if you are VERY confused, then I have to tell you something….all of this(the fights, blah blah) connects to one thing…just think about it…

Anywa that's all for now, please do what you guys do best and I will seriously LOVE YA'LL:-)
