Chapter 8: We Ride
Gabriella's POV
"LET HER GO!" Someone shouted.
"Who's going to ma-" Mandy turned around. "Sharpay? Why should we?" Mandy walked out of the stall and her minions dragged me out still holding on to me.
"Well one because you are a bitch and two because she doesn't deserve this," Sharpay motioned towards me. "And three because I said so!" Sharpay yelled. Why is Sharpay Evans helping me?
"Wait till the school hears Sharpay Evans hangs out with Geeky Gabi!" Mandy said and then all of the cheerleaders ran out of the bathroom. I stood up and wiped off the invisible dirt on my clothes. I looked up at Sharpay and she had an apologetic look on her face.
"Are you ok Gabriella?" Sharpay asked while walking over towards me.
"Yeah….Thank you so much." I said.
"I see how they always treat you…it isn't right." She looked down at her feet. "I should have done something earlier."
"At least you were here now…Thanks a lot Sharpay. It means a lot to me."
She looked up at me. "No problem…so friends?" She asked smiling.
I nodded smiling huge. "Friends." She threw her arms around me and we hugged tight.
RING!!
We pulled apart. "Ready for gym?" Sharpay asked as she held out her arm.
I looped my arm through her. "Yep!" We walked out of the bathroom and made our way towards the girl's locker room.
"So I hear you are tutoring Troy Bolton?" Sharpay asked.
"Well I was." I said sighing. "Last night was the last time." I said looking off into the distance as we walked into the locker room.
"Oh so how did that go?" She asked as we walked to our respected lockers.
"Long story…" I replied as I changed into my gym clothes.
"Promise to spill all later?" she asked.
"I promise."
We walked out of the locker room into the gym. I saw all of the basketball boys sitting by the ball rack on the bleachers and Coach Bolton waiting for us to get in there.
"Ok class I have to do some work for tonight's game, so it is a free day in gym. Don't cause any problems or Monday will be hell!" He said and then he walked over towards the boy's locker room door where his office was. He disappeared out of sight which meant no supervision. GULP!
All of the basketball boys stood up and walked towards Sharpay and I. Chad stepped to the front and pulled Troy with him. "So Geeky Gabi, Troy's so glad you are done tutoring him, now he can spend some time with girls that are actually worth while!" Chad laughed and all of the team laughed except for Troy who was looking at his feet.
OUCH! That really hurt! And Troy's isn't even responding…I knew it was too good to be true.
Troy's POV
That is not true! But I can't say that out loud. Why am I such a wimp!
I saw here eyes start to get watery, but she wiped them with her arms. Man this is going to kill my heart.
"Tell her Troy! Not you can actually have fun at night!" Chad chuckled. CHAD SHUT UP!
I sent Brie an It's-Not-True look, but she wasn't looking at me she was looking at the floor.
"Uhhh…." Nothing would come out of my mouth, but then Chad directed his gaze at me and started to glare at me. "Yeah thank god I am done tutoring you!" Gabriella looked up at me with sorrow in her eyes. STRIKE ONE to my heart!
"You are so worthless!" Chad yelled. Then she started to cry, but anyone could tell she was trying to hold it in. STRIKE TWO!
"Aww Geeky Gabi's a cry baby!" Chad nudged me, "You are such a baby!"
I continued, "Yeah! Go cry to your daddy!" I wish I could take that back as soon as it left my mouth but I couldn't….OH SHIT!!
She looked up at me and I could see the hurt behind her eyes. STRIKE THREE!! And I'M OUT!
I am such a stupid idiot!
Gabriella's POV
I ran out of the gym to the girl's locker room and I could hear Sharpay yelling and running after me. As soon as I got into the locker room I collapsed on the floor by the showers.
How could Troy do this? He knows what happened. I trusted him with that! I thought he loved me…I guess it was always just a joke to him…It was just a joke…
Sharpay sat down next to me and put her arm around me. "Gabs are you ok?" I collapsed into her arms and started to cry even more. She started to rub my back in smoothing circles. "Shh…Gabs everything will be ok…"
I sat up and looked at Sharpay, "Sharpay you don't understand I-I-Lo…"
"You what?"
"I love Troy! Or loved…I don't know!" I sighed frustrated.
"WHAT!" She yelled.
"Yes! In the past two weeks I have fallen for Troy Bolton. Last night he kissed me and then he told me he loved me and I told him I loved him too." I said crying even more.
"Oh Gabs I am so sorry!" She hugged me tighter.
"You want to know the worst part…" I said, "My parents died 5 years ago and I told him that! And hearing him say what he did crushed me!" I started to cry uncontrollably.
"Gabs…" Sharpay soothed me. "I saw some sorrow in Troy's eyes." Sharpay tried to reassure me.
"So he still shouldn't have said the things he did!" My phone beeped and I pulled it out of my jacket pocked. I opened it up and looked at the screen.
I am so sorry Brie! I love you
Love Troy….
I threw my phone against the wall and it shattered. Sharpay started to hug me again.
Troy's POV
How could I do this to her? She trusted me and I did that! I am such a freaking jerk!!
I walked down the hallway and into a science classroom. I found a closed off door and some stairs. I walked up the stairs into a plant garden thing that looked over all Albuquerque. Nice place…
"Brie I am so sorry!" I said out loud to myself.
Gabriella's POV
Before I knew it the final bell was ringing to signal the day was over. Sharpay and I were still in the locker room with me crying and her comforting me by the showers. Then the door opened,
"Gabs? You in here?" Taylor called in before she stepped into the locker room. As soon as she saw Sharpay and I her mouth dropped and her eyes bugged out. "Sharpay Evans?" She questioned shocked.
"Hey…" Sharpay smiled sadly.
"What happened?" Kelsi asked as her and Taylor came over and sat by us.
I stopped crying enough just to explain the whole story of Troy and I then to what happened today during gym. Then Taylor, Kelsi, and Sharpay were all surrounding me in a group hug.
"I understand if you don't want to do the talent show tomorrow night…" Kelsi said sadly.
PERFECT! "No Kelsi I want to sing…this song will be perfect for the talent show!" I said smiling the first genuine smile since gym.
"Wait you are singing in the show?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah, Kels signed me up." I said.
"Can I hear your song?" Sharpay asked.
I shrugged. "Sure, I need to practice a little more anyway so why don't we go there now?" I asked.
"Ok cool." Sharpay said. We all stood up and dusted off our clothes. We walked out of the locker room down the long decorated hallway. I stared at all of the Basketball posters as we walked towards the auditorium.
"BRIE!" not now please!
I turned around to face Troy with hurt in my eyes and yelled. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I saw the hurt pass over his face, but I didn't care. I turned around and sprinted off towards the auditorium. I heard Taylor, Kelsi, and Sharpay calling after me, but I kept on running until I was on the auditorium stage.
Kelsi, Taylor, and lastly Sharpay followed me on stage and were bent over with their hands on their knees panting. "Man you can run fast!" Sharpay exclaimed.
Troy's POV
"TIMEOUT!" My dad yelled from the side of the court. The other five Wildcats on the court, including me, ran over towards my dad and sat down on the bench.
My dad kneeled down in front of us and looked at me strangely, "Troy what is up with you today? You aren't doing so hot! You need to get your head in the game!" He yelled. "If you don't improve your game I am going to have to take you out!" he threatened.
I looked up in the stands and let out a huge sigh. I never have sucked this much at a game. I usually am hitting every shot I throw, but tonight I haven't made any and it's already the second quarter. I know why too…it's because of her. If I wasn't such an ass she wouldn't hate me right now. What the hell have I done?
I looked across the court to the home bleachers and then saw Gabriella, Sharpay Evans, and Gabriella's two friends start walking up the bleachers. She didn't look to happy to be here. I let out another sigh. I have to do something. I looked back at my dad with pure determination on my face.
"I'm ready coach! Put me in. I feel much better." I stood up and put my arm in the middle of the huddle.
Gabriella's POV
Sharpay, Kelsi, Taylor, and I sat down on some seats on the home side's bleachers in the East High versus South High basketball game. I looked over towards them and glared at Sharpay, "Remind me again why you dragged me here?" I asked through gritted teeth.
Sharpay looked over at me, shrugged, and then looked back at the game being played out on the court. "'Cause we were bored."
I looked back out across the court and spotted Troy shooting a 3-pointer. Typical. "Well in all of your boredom you could have left me at home to spend some precious time with the two important guys in my life!" I said. I looked over at Taylor, Kelsi, and Sharpay who were looking me with very confused expressions. I looked back out at the game. "Ben and Jerry. Duh!" Their ice cream is a life savor. When ever something is wrong they are always there for me.
I turned around as someone tapped me on the shoulder and I saw Mr. Anderson sitting on the bleacher seat behind me. "Miss Montez?"
"Yes, Mr. Anderson?" I questioned.
"I'd like to thank you personally for tutoring Troy. He is doing much better in both calculus and English because of you." He smiled and every wall that I built around my heart in this past afternoon just collapsed.
I smiled sadly. "You're welcome Mr. Anderson." I paused, "And Troy did…well."
Mr. Anderson stood up, "Thank you again Miss Montez and I will see you Monday." He walked off
I turned back to face the game with tears on my face. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to my right to see Taylor giving me an apologetic look. "Are you okay Gabs?" Then on my left Sharpay put an arm around my shoulders.
"And Troy Bolton shoots the game winning shot….and it's in!! Wildcats beat the Bears thanks to Troy Bolton!!" The announcer yelled into his microphone.
I felt tears already welling up in my eyes. "No I'm not ok." I escaped from Taylor's and Sharpay's grasp and ran down the bleachers. I passed the celebrating Wildcats and Troy's eyes connected with mine. I tore my eyes away from him and ran out of the gym.
Troy's POV
I heard the announcer make the big announcement and then I felt my whole team surround me and lift me in the air. I looked around the gym for Gabriella, but I noticed her running out of the gym. We locked eyes and I saw all of her pain flash across her face. She then tore her gaze away from me and ran out of the gym. Man I hurt her so bad. How could I be such an idiot?
I looked up to where Gabriella was sitting before and saw Sharpay Evans and Gabriella's two friends sitting there glaring at me. I got down off my teams shoulders and made my way for the bleachers. I climbed the red and white bleachers and stood in front of them.
"What do you want?" Sharpay asked with a cold tone while glaring at me.
I looked down at my feet then looked back up and met her gaze. "Will you just please tell Gabriella I am so sorry for what I said."
"Troy…" Gabriella's short brown haired girl with glasses stood up and looked up at me. "I advised you to come to the talent show tomorrow….Gabriella is singing."
From behind the girl, Gabriella's other friend and Sharpay stared at her in disbelief. "KELSI!!" They yelled, but she ignored them.
"Thank you Kelsi," I said and looked back at the other two who were now looking at Kelsi in shock because of what she said. I turned my eyes away from them and ran down the bleachers.
