The next day at school Troy had his note for Gabi. He slipped it in her locker before lunch. Gabi found it at 5th hour. She read,

" Dear Gabi,

this is hard for me too, but i just can't take this anymore. You never follow through with any of the plans i've made for us. all i ever hear from you is excuses. after you read this, please don't talk to me anymore. okay?

Your DEFINITE ex,

Troy."

She broke down. What did he mean he couldn't take it anymore? How could he just end it like this? Why? All of these thoughts were racing through her mind as she began to cry. It seemed as though time froze. Everyone around her was moving around her like nothing was wrong. As she knelt there, balling, it occurred to her that maybe she didn't love him anyways, that maybe somewhere in her twisted mind that she loved somebody else. She would always ditch Troy for him. She would always blow off they're big dates as though they were nothing, for him. Gabriella had no idea, until this very moment, she never actually loved Troy, she had been leading him on for two years. She had been wasting both of their time, knowing that she loved somebody else. "What is WRONG with me?" she thought, "I can't believe I am in love with him, but HOW??" she asked herself. He was the only one meant for her, and she had to tell him.

Troy and Sharpay walked in the doors of East High. They had walked to a local restraunt, Rudi's, for lunch. It was only a block from the school, and they had the BEST mozzerella sticks! Everybody was looking at them. "Why is everybody looking at us like that?" Sharpay asked. "I'm guessing that Gabriella is having a mental breakdown... or everyone is just jealous cause we are the hottest people in school. haha" "Haha. I think your right, on both! haha." said Sharpay.

Gabriella was on her way to tell him. She tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around giving her a hug, seeing that there were tears running down her face. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Troy broke up with me." said Gabi. "What an asshole, any guy would be lucky to have a girl like you." "Strangly, I think I'm okay with that. Ya see, I didn't love Troy.. well the way I thought I did anyways." "Oh..." "The truth is, I'm in love with you." "Wow.. Umm... I don't know what to tell you Gabi." I love you too, but I'm not in love with you." Starting to cry she said, "I thought you were, Ryan, How could you say that? You told me that as soon as I broke up with Troy you would be here, waiting." "Yeah... but for a shoulder to cry on." She had no reply, she sounded like a COMPLETE idiot. "Sorry..." said Ryan, trailing off into a mumble of "I didn't know.." and more "Sorry"s.

Now that she had absolutly nothing, she decided to leave school early. She ran out, passing Troy and Sharpay in the hallway. As she passed them she said, "I hope your happy, Troy!" and bolted out the door. "Gabi, wait!" "Troy, she's not worth it. As soon as you have another conversation with her, you are just gunna go crawling back to you. You are only hurting yourself."

"You're right, I know I shouldn't but..." "C'mon let's go find Taylor and Chad." "Okay.." Troy said reluctantly.
