Hey, sorry for the delay on this update. My computer was being retarded for a few days and then I spent the weekend with my aunt so... yeah. This chapter is dedicated to ZanessaFan28 she was the only one who got my trivia about the Twilight Series!

Okay, so I have two choices: tell Troy I'm in love with him, so this stupid curse is off me; or try and salvage what's left of my friendship with Troy. I pick choice numbero dos, that's number two for those of you who don't speak Spanish. There's no way I'm telling Troy how I feel about him. That psychic is crazy! I can't do that! He'll probably laugh in my face or something, not to mention if Kristy finds out she'll send me more notes...or worse if she finds out she could tell Troy! How awkward would that be?

First thing in the morning I walked up to Troy's locker, but I didn't find him. Unfortunately I found Kristy.

" What are you doing here?" she asked. I told her I was there to apologize, turned around, and ignored her further attempts to catch my attention. Troy rounded the corner with his usual pack of guys, he smiled as his eyes landed on Kristy but then he took in the whole picture and noticed me standing next to her. He frowned.

" Did you hurt her?" he asked. I can't believe he cared more about her than he did for me. I mean, I was there when he fell out of the tree and broke his leg, I was there when he was afraid of going into the basement, I was there when he had his first crush and... " Gabriella." his cold voice brought me out of my thoughts.

" Well I'm waiting?" he asked. " For what?" I asked stupidly and mentally cursed myself. " For your apology, I mean that is why you're talking to me, right?" " Yes," I answered quickly. I stared at him for a while not sure how or what to say. Plus the fact that he looked absolutely gorgeous didn't help me think. " God, Gabi! What do I look like to you?" he asked frustrated, putting his hand on his head messing up his perfect hair. " Like a Greek god!" Whoops! Stupid curse.

He dropped his hands from his hair and looked at me. His eye brow arched, head cocked to the side. "What?" he asked not sure he heard right. " Huh?" " What?" he asked again. "I'm confused," I answered. It was true I wasn't sure what we were talking about anymore. He shook his head, " Never mind, like I was saying do I look stupid to you?" " No." I answered, but I noticed how disheveled his hair was and said, " More like crazy!" Oops again. He glared at me. The Bolton glare, twice in the same week. I was walking on eggshells, one wrong move and he would crack.

" I don't have time for this, I don't think you wanted to apologize in the first place because if you did you would've done so already!" he exclaimed.

" I do want to apologize!" I shot back angry, that he wasn't letting me talk.

" Okay then go for it, I'm listening." He starred at me. It scared me, the intensity of his eyes, how hard his bore into mine.

I took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry for making fun of Kristy," I saw his eyes thin into slits but continued before he could say anything " But I am sorry that I was mad at you, that I was jealous of Kristy, sorry that I missed you, sorry that I wanted my best friend back!" I yelled earning stares from people around us.

He stood there with his face expressionless. Obviously not believing what he heard. Meanwhile Kristy stood there grinning triumphantly.

" You know what Troy, I'll catch you later," I whispered and ran to my locker.

" Hey we heard what happened between you and Troy. I'm sorry, I know it must be hard to see Troy and Kristy together." it was Taylor, always comforting me when things went wrong.

Kelsi's soft,timid voice rang loud in my ears." Yeah, especially since you um... love Troy and all."

" How do you guys know about my thing for Troy?" I mean seriously, they could have at least told me they knew so I wouldn't look like an idiot covering in front of them.

" Please Gabs, every human with eyes and a brain can see that you're in love with him." I was too busy feeling sorry for myself that I didn't notice Chad, Zeke, and Jason behind the girls. I banged my head against the lockers to hide my face as a blush crept up my neck.

" Ugh! Not you guys too!" I begged. They laughed and ushered us to our class. I walked in and people were staring and whispering, and some idiot who thought I couldn't see him was pointing and laughing. I glared and inwardly groaned.

I sat at my desk,which just happened to be right behind Troy. Great! He turned around to look at me and smiled. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Apparently I was forgiven but that didn't matter to me, not when I was being laughed at. Doesn't this curse have any mercy? Doesn't it feel bad for me at all? Can't public humiliation be enough to get the spell off? I was so stupid! He probably had a good laugh with Kristy while I was away, just like everyone else. I wish Troy would stop trying to get my attention by smiling and throwing notes on my desk. It's really annoying and hard to concentrate.

" Gabriella, solve the equation on the bored." Mrs. Briggley, the math teacher asked.

" Um... X divided by pi?" I asked. I hope it was right.

She frowned "Lucky guess but next time pay attention." I nodded. " What were you doing anyways?" she asked.

Nothing, " Wishing Troy would stop trying to get my attention by smiling and throwing notes on my desk. It's really annoying and hard to concentrate." I answered quickly. Oh crap! Everyone burst out laughing.

" Troy, would you please attend to matters of the heart outside of my class," He nodded. I bit my lip to prevent me from busting out a smile but I couldn't stop the corners of my mouth from twitching upward slightly.

He playfully glared at me while his cheeks turned a crimson color.

" Your forgiven, if you didn't already know that," he said after class as I was packing up my stuff. I looked him up and down and nodded my head before placing the strap of my bag on my shoulder and walking away.

" Woah, woah, woah , wait up!" I heard his quickened footsteps and felt his fingers curl around my arm.

I looked at him, my eyes hollow and tired. " That was some joke you said back there eh?" I didn't answer. " Who...who knew you could be so funny?" he exclaimed laughing. " I know right" I said in a dead,monotone voice. " Is this some kind of public humiliation revenge you set up after I yelled at you this morning?" Yeah, that was it. " No." I said in the same voice.

He looked at me his face confused and shocked. Normally I would've given him a sarcastic answer and been all buddy,buddy with him but since I had this curse it was easier to portray my real feelings instead of covering to please people. But of course, with this curse I had no choice in saying what I felt.

" Huh?..what?...I...you...us...happened...uh" he was babbling incoherently. He was obviously aware of my sudden change in mood and or personality and he was strangely confused. He looked at me as if trying to see into my heart. His eyes gave me questioning glances, his forehead creased with concern. I sighed, this was wasting my time. The bell rang and I adjusted the strap of my bag.

"See ya, my class is on the other side of the school and I'm already late." and with that I was off.

Lunch was pretty much the same. Troy was still confused and still trying to get me to talk to him. If he thought it was weird he had no idea what was going through my head. I would've been best buds with him the second he accepted my apology but with this curse I can't forgive him and push my feelings aside as I usually would do. Kristy glared at me from across the table, she knew I was the reason Troy wasn't paying attention to her.

After Lunch I went to my locker, I opened it to reveal a neatly folded note sitting atop my books. I didn't have to open it, or even see the handwriting to know who it was from. I smelled his cologne and I saw the amount of care he used to putting this note in my locker. He hadn't just randomly slipped it through the slits in the door, he had opened it and placed it neatly on my books making sure I would see it. Which I did. I smiled slightly as I opened it.

Dear Gabriella,

I'm sorry I made you feel jealous of Kristy and I'm sorry I wasn't spending enough time with you. I want my best friend back too, Kristy's cool but I can't talk with her like I can with you. I'll forgive you if you forgive me. Deal? PLEASE? How about I give you a ride home today,then we can hang out like old times? How about it? It's supposed to rain and I don't want you getting sicker.

Troy

I walked into my next and finale class of the day with a smile on my face. " Ooh what are you smiling about Gabs?" Zeke called from the back of the room. I walked over to him, " Troy apologized."

" Ooh!" Chad said while making kissing noises, Jason joined in. I rolled my eyes " Not like that" then I randomly blurted out "I wish it was though!" I blushed as the guys started laughing,but they stopped as soon as they saw Troy walk in the room.

An hour later and I was once again at my locker. I opened it and a note fluttered to the ground. I had an inkling about who this was from and I was right.

Meet me in the girls bathroom after school, the one at the end of this hallway. We need to talk. Tell Troy I need to borrow some history notes or something. Don't worry I wont kill you or anything.

Kristy

I packed my bag with all of my homework and books, just in time to see Troy walking towards me.

" Wait for me in the parking lot I'll be out in a minute I have to talk to Kristy, she needs to borrow some history notes," He nodded his head and walked in the direction of the lot.

" What do you want?" I asked as I sat on the radiator in the bathroom. She was leaning against the sinks filing her nails.

She smiled, though it looked more like an evil grin. " Why are you jealous of my relationship with Troy?"

" Because I never get to see him anymore." she frowned like that wasn't the answer she was expecting.

" What do you think of me?"

" You're a cruel heartless Barbie doll who can't function unless her boy toy pays full attention to her." Curse or no curse that was the truth.

She rolled her eyes and blew a bubble with her gum. " Alright, have you ever had fantasies about Troy?" These questions were getting bad.

" Yes," I squeaked, but cleared my throat and added " But every girl does."

" True," I heard her grumble. " Are you a virgin?"

" Yes."

" Do you enjoy watching scary movies?"

" Yes,"

" What was the worst part of puberty?"

" The zits on my back," I answered all those questions, one after the other almost like a robotic motion.

" How do you feel about Troy?"

My eyes widened and she knew she hit the jackpot. I tried to muffle my voice with my hands but my answer still came out. "I love him."

" Would you pay to see him naked?"

" I don't have to, he takes a shower at exactly 7:25 every day so all I have to do is take a jog down the street and look into his bedroom window." Her eyes glistened mischievously, I think she knows about the curse, or not really the curse but she's realizing that I always tell the truth. No matter what. This is not good. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I actually told her that. I have to get out of here. I glanced at my watch. I've been here for 12 minutes.

" I've got to go!" I blurted and got up to walk to the door.

" One more question, does Sharpay stuff her bra?"

" Yes!" I exclaimed already out the door, I ran down the hallway and into the parking lot. It was raining and I was getting soaked as I ran to Troy's car.

" So are you still sick?" he asked as he turned on the heat.

" It's better, I'm not coughing as much." he nodded. He noticed how badly I was shivering so he slipped off his jacket and handed it to me.

I was bundled up in his jacket while he was driving me home. Things were back to normal. Well, almost.
