Sorry the last chapter was sorta depressin... but this one might hav 2 be too but not as... read and c ppl!! Enjoy! The song is out of my league by stephen speaks youtube it ppl! theres a troy and gabby 1!

The weekend passed in a depressing blur to Troy. Gabriella had phoned him several times but he simply let the phone ring. He hated this. Why did he wait? Why did he have to be so stupid?
Monday morning arrived and Troy was seriously considering skipping. But he would have to face her sooner or later... Plus of course his dad would find out since they had basketball practice. So he forced himself into school. He knew perfectly well he had no reason to ignore Gabby like this, she had done absolutely nothing wrong. But he couldn't help it. He couldn't stand seeing the person he loved being with someone else. He entered the main doors and saw Kelsi staniding at the Drama notice board. He attempted to walk past her hoping she wouln't see him.

"Hey Troy!" She ran up to him. That plan wasn't going to work. "Are you all ready to sing today?"

"Sing? Today?" He was confused, " What do you mean?"

"For Gabriella! I told her to meet me in the Theatre after school. She doesn't know you'll be there!" Kelsi squeeled excitedly.

"You told her already?!?" He exlaimed.

"Yeah, why?"

"Kelsi, she has a Boyfriend."

"Really?!? How do you know?"

"Well her moms car wasn't there and I saw a guy go inside with her..." Troy winced at the memory.

"I'm sorry Troy..." Kelsi said sympathetically. But there was bound to be more to this. The bell rang signalling first class.

"I'll see you later Troy. Will you be ok?"

"Yeah I guess. Thanks for trying to help Kelsi I had fun." Kelsi watched him walk off to class. There was more to this than Troy knew. She was going to have to find out what it was...

Troy arrived slightly late for homeroom but due to Mrs. Darbus' new found love for him nothing was said. He sat at his usual seat in the front but he forced himself not to look back at Gabby. He sickened himself. He had no right to be angry at Gabby. She was a teenager with a boyfriend. It wasn't her fault. It was his. He was in love with her and he didn't tell her. Mrs.Darbus rambled till the second bell. troy got up hastily not allowing gabriella or anyone else
follow him for that matter.

When the final bell rang Troy went straight home. Basketball practice had been a disaster. He didn't manage to shoot a single hoop. The team noticed too. The coach gave him another pep talk and he certainly hadn't been in the mood for it. Because at the moment he had a one track mind. Gabriella had noticed how he wasn't talking not just to her but to everyone. He was hating himself more and more for doing this to her. She was his friend. But that was the problem.

Gabriella walked slowly down towards the theatre. Was Troy going to be there? Why was he ignoring her? And eveyone else for that matter? She walked up to the stage. Kelsi wasn't here yet. She sat down at the edge of the stage. She could feel her eyes stinging slightly. It was only a couple of days but she hated Troy ignoring her. Kelsi came running into the Theatre.

"Gabriella! Sorry I'm late! I need to ask you something!" She came onto the stage. Gabriella stood up slightly concerned for her friend.

"Are you ok? Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Yes. Whats your boyfriend's name?"

"What??!!??" Gabriella felt like laughing,"I don't have a boyfriend!"

"Well... Troy says he came round yesterday because he thought you weren't talking to him and he saw some guy come into your house."

"What?" Gabriella was confused. There was definitely no guy in her house last night. Unless..."The pizza guy!" she exclaimed out loud.

"I knew it!" Kelsi beamed,"Wait. Why did you invite the pizza guy in?"

"Oh it was freezing and I didn't want a cold pizza for dinner. Plus he looked pretty cold himself..." She laughed again,"I can't believe Troy came... He's such a sweet guy."

"Yeah a sweet guy who thinks you have a boyfriend." Kelsi reminded her. this wiped the smile off her face.

"So what did you want to meet me here for?" Gabriella asked trying to take her mind off the fact.

"Oh well... umm... Troy didn't show up so it doesn't matter."

"Oh right. I'll see you tomorrow Kelsi."

"Everything will work out Gabriella." Kelsi gave her a hug and Gabriella left. Feeling a little better at least she knew why Troy wasn't talking. Did she really have that effect over him? She had never felt like this for someone and now she knew he felt the same way back. But how was she going to tell him she didn't have a boyfriend when he wasn't talking...? She didn't know how to feel. Troy loved her bit wasn't talking. Which she was happy and upset about...
Her mom wasn't home so she had to walk home. She walked through the park. She had come here when she was thinking about Troy or when she was sad. She walked down to the small river that ran through the park and sat underneath a large tree which branches spread out low and high and everywhere which made it quite easy to climb.

Troy hadn't even noticed the girl who had come to sit underneath the tree he had vacated in the park. He didn't want to go home. His dad was sure to have another pep talk for him about how the team was going down because he was being lazy. He stared into the river streaming slowly as the sun glinted on it. It was beautiful. But it seemed all the beauty in the world couldn't beat what he saw and felt when he was with Gabby, and even the thought never mind the knowledge of someone else being with her brought the worst pain to Troy. He had to go home. His parents weren't coming home till 8 o' clock so he was told to go home and put on the heating. He climbed down and nearly had a heart attck when he saw her sitting under the tree. She hadn't noticed him. She was so beautiful, she was upset too. A single tear had fallen down her cheek. She looked around and for a moment their eyes met nothing was said for quite some time. Eventually Gabriella broke the silence.

"Hey Troy." She said rubbing a tear from her cheek. She didn't even know why she was crying anymore. He wasn't going to speak. Was he?

"Hey." There was another long silence. Tell him. Just tell him. You know he feels the same. Do it!

"Troy I-"

"I'll see you later Gabby." Troy turned and left the park.

"Troy!" She called after him. But he was already out of sight.
