Gabriella noticed how little attention Troy was paying to her. She didn't even know what she did wrong! She was frantic.
"Hey Troy!" She said one morning as they were walking down the hall.
"-and the streamers, shoot, we need streamers, oh darn, ok, I can work with no streamers…no, I'll have to get some tonight…" He said ignoring her.
On Thursday night, she was crying so hard when Taylor called her asking her about the home work.
" What's wrong?" Taylor said through the phone.
"I think…oh, Taylor, I'm so confused. Troy has been ignoring me….What did I do wrong? It seems like he's wrapped up in something else. Oh, Taylor, I…I think he's cheating on me!"
Taylor had to stop herself from laughing.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!...um, well, I know why he's ignoring you, but I can't tell you."
"What?" Gabriella said through tears.
"Just calm down, he's not cheating on you!"
"How do you know?"
"Um…I just….do, ok?...ok. Bye!"
"But-" Gabriella began but didn't get to finish because Taylor hung up on her.
Oh, great, now I have no boyfriend or no friend, Gabriella thought.
The next day, the planning was finished. Troy strutted down the hall in satisfaction and met up with Gabriella.
"Hey Gaby!"
"Go away."
"What?"
"I don't need you or my friends! I can survive on my own!"
"But I just came over here to ask you over to my house after school!"
"Well, I don't want to go."
Gabriella left Troy standing there as she headed off to her classes. All that day Troy tried to get closer to her. Finally, He pulled her into the boys' locker room at the end of the day.
"Troy, I'm not supposed to be in here!"
"Shhhhhhhhh!...I need you to hear something.
Gabriella took a step back with her arms crossed ready to decline whatever offer he was going to give to her. But he didn't talk. Instead he sang:
We're soarin',
flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't
reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know
the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
But your faith it
gives me strength
Strength to believe
Gabriella didn't talk. How dare he! That was her one weakness. His voice…She wanted to kill him. But she couldn't bear to hurt those big, shiny eyes…
"Wow."
"Gaby, I'm sorry I've been ignoring you. I didn't mean to. I've just been wrapped up in…stuff."
"Wow."
"So, um…will you come to my house after school?"
She answered him with a small kiss on his cheek, and walked away.
"I guess that is a yes," Troy said happily to himself.
