Chapter 12
"Woah what is on your hand?" asks Taylor on the train ride back to Albuquerque.
"What?" asks Gabriella slipping the class ring of her finger and into her jacket pocket.
Taylor grabs her left hand and examines it.
"I could of sworn I saw a ring on your ring finger," examples Taylor
"You must be seeing things," says Gabriella
"I know what I saw Gabby," says Taylor
"I'm going to go get a snack you coming?" asks Gabriella
"Nope," says Taylor
Gabriella gets up and walks off down the train to the snack compartment.
As she reaches the snack compartment she notices there is no one from East High there except for her handsome boyfriend. She sneaks up behind him a grin on her face as she wraps her arms around his waist.
"Hello Brie," says Troy turning his head slightly to look down at her.
"Aww how'd did you know it was me?" asks Gabriella
"I saw you walk in," says Troy turning round to face her properly
Gabriella pouts.
"What brings you here?" asks Troy
"Taylor she swore she saw a ring on my ring finger," says Gabriella
"Did she?" asks Troy
"I told her she was seeing things," says Gabriella
"Were my ring now?" asks Troy
"My pocket," replies Gabriella
"What do you want?" asks Troy
"Troy I can get my own snack please," says Gabriella
"Fine," says Troy
"Thank you," says Gabriella
Gabriella uncoils her arms from round Troy's torso and walks off to choose something to eat.
She selects a bar of Hershey's milk chocolate and a Hershey's Chocolate milkshake before going over to the counter to pay for them.
She smiles at Troy before leaving the compartment.
Troy quickly purchases the bag of Gummy bears he was holding before hightailing it after her to find she had waited right outside the compartment all know she had a chocolate milkshake moustache caressing her upper lip.
"You have no idea how beautiful you look right now," whispers Troy
"Why?" asks Gabriella
Troy indicates to her upper lip and she brings her hand up to wipe her mouth on bringing her hand down she sees the slight residue of the chocolate milkshake moustache that had graced her upper lip.
Gabriella pouts.
"We need to get back to our seats," says Troy
Gabriella nods and walks off aware that something is strange between her and Troy.
She pulls out her phone as she nears Taylor.
Hey what's up
She texts to Troy.
Nothing why
Just we never make small talk.
Something just seemed off.
Nah we're cool Brie.
Don't worry
Ok
Seriously Brie we are we're fine I love you.
I'm committed to you.
You proved that when you pulled an engagement ring out of the drawers at the hotel.

You're not going to let that go are you
Nope
Great
"What is it with you and those milkshakes?" asks Taylor "You have one like everyday in cafeteria," she adds
"I like them plus in the cafeteria there cheap," says Gabriella
"What did you pay for that one?" asks Taylor
"$2" says Gabriella
"$2 dollars for some liquefied chocolate in a bottle that will only add to your weight and give you spots," says Taylor
"What is up with you now a days you act like a I don't know but I don't like it," says Gabriella
"Geez Gabs your aren't like you mum I don't like your attitude young lady it better change," says Taylor
"That's it you're acting like a stuck up bitch," says Gabriella
"Excuse me," says Taylor
"You are, what is it ever since you got with Chad you've been hanging around Stacey and Felicity and those other cheerleaders and you've changed. And why didn't you tell me about you and Chad I would off been happy for you," says Gabriella
"It has nothing to do with Stacey, Felicity, Fiona or Jazmin or Chad. I have just become a woman that Chad likes. And you are the one who is always on about we shouldn't date jocks there jerks and there going to break your heart and crush it or get into your pants," snaps Taylor
"Don't you turn this on me you're the one who said those things. I have never said a word against Chad it has always been you against Troy which quiet frankly I'm sick of," says Gabriella
"Face it Gabs Troy doesn't want like you anymore then a friend. For all you know with all this Gabriella Montez is my friend crap he could be stringing you along. Just look at him over there he's plenty happy with Stacey hanging onto his every comment he doesn't need you Gabriella. Your worthless to him," spits Taylor
"I know he doesn't like any of these cheerleaders but his genuinely my friend like I thought you were but I guess things change" says Gabriella
"I guess they do," says Taylor getting up and going over to Chad.
Gabriella curls up in her seat. 2 seconds later she feels Troy sit next to her and place a comforting arm around her shoulders allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.
"We're not friends anymore," she chokes as tears cascade down her cheeks.
When she has regained her composure Gabriella tells Troy the entire argument when she is done he pulls her against him and comforts her.
"What are you doing comforting this freak she's clearly in the wrong Taylor reach her full potential when she started going out with Chad and hanging with the popular people," says Stacey
"I love her," states Troy
"YOU LOVE HER," shouts Stacey
"Yeah I love her," repeats Troy calmly.
"Dude seriously not cool," comes Chad's voice from across the carriage.
"Chad you can't have a comment your dating Taylor who used to be Brie's friend and is still the head of the Scholastic Decathlon," retorts Troy
Chad grows silent.
"This better be some kind of sick joke Troy," demands Stacey
"It's no joke," says Troy
"Well how do you know she loves you," whines Stacey in a desperate manner.
"Since we've been dating for 1 year a 7 months and she tells me everyday," explains Troy
"You're dating her," cries Stacey
"Stacey get over it he's taken," says Gabriella confidentially
Taylor comes over.
"Him seriously," she says
"You have no right to comment you're not my friend," says Gabriella
"Ha," laughs Stacey turning the attention to her. "Your not official your not wearing his class ring," jeers Stacey
Stacey watches in horror as Gabriella dips her hand into her pocket and pulls out a gold band with a red ruby embedded in it and the swirly lettering that reads Bolton. "Don't be so sure sunshine," says Gabriella slipping the ring on her ring finger.
Coach Bolton comes over.
"Dad don't worry we're not engaged," Troy reassures his father.
"That's good," says Coach Bolton turning and going back to his seat.
"Now Stacey, Taylor if you don't mind please go away," says Troy
Taylor walks off back to Chad and Stacey, Stacey turns still shocked and stumbles back to her seat.
Felicity comes over. "I think it's really cool," she says
"Thanks," says Gabriella
Felicity goes and sits down as Zeke and Jason comes over.
"So this is why you haven't been playing the field you got yourself a lady," says Zeke
Troy shots him a quizzical look.
"No dude I'm all for it I think it's cool you making a stand and dating who you want to me myself I'm with Sharpay," says Zeke
"I'm secretly dating Martha who is also on your smart team thing but she is also on the dance team," says Jason
"Thanks guys your genuine friends," says Troy
"We'll leave you to alone," says Zeke standing up
"Go find your girls," encourages Gabriella
"You know I might just do that," says Zeke
"Yeah me too," says Jason
They walk to find there girls.
Later on that day they walk out of the station to find Lucille and Marie waiting for them.
"Hey hunny Taylor is coming home with us okay her parents have gone away for the weekend," says Gabriella's mum
"She's not welcome," snaps Gabriella
"Yes she is she's your best friend," exclaims her mum
Troy shakes his head. "Massive bust up," says Troy
"Oh well then were will Taylor stay," says her mum
"Probably at Chad's," says Troy
"Do I sense bad air between you and Chad Troy?" asks his mum
"He fell out with me," says Troy
"Why?" asks him mum
"Because I told Stacey I love Gabriella and he didn't like the fact I am with a 'geek' even though he is technically with a 'geek'," says Troy
"I still don't why everyone doesn't get along," says Gabriella's mum
"Because isn't like it was in your day mum. It's life people don't like you, you have to deal with it and move on," explains Gabriella
"Gabriella Caitlyn Sophie Anne Rebecca Montez please don't tell me that is an engagement ring on your ring finger," exclaims her mum
"Its Troy class ring," says Lucille
"And your not phased by this?" asks Marie
"No it's means he's committed to her and will ask her to marry him in the future but at the moment they are happy being together as individuals," says Lucille
"Although Troy did propose yesterday," says Gabriella
"What," shriek the two mums
"We'll tell you in the car," says Troy
"Don't worry mum I said I no," Gabriella reassures her mum "For now," she whispers to Troy.
