Thanks a lot guys!! Again sorry about the long wait! I've been slacking and you guys can yell at me for it!
Here's chapter 13- hopefully it's lucky!
A few days have passed and Gabi hasn't said a word to Ryan. She didn't to think anything like that was going on between Troy and Sharpay.
The bell rang for history class to end. She grabbed her book and shoved them in her backpack. She walked out the door and went to her locker to grab her lunch.
"Gabi can I talk to you?" Ryan asked. He walked up to her locker and leaned against the locker next to it.
"I don't want to hear what you have to say." she answered as she dropped some of her books off.
"Please Gabi just a minute." he pleaded. She looked at him and saw the guilt flash through his eyes.
"Ok just a minute." she said and closed her locker. They walked into an abandoned classroom and sat down.
"I'm sorry Gabi. I really am. I knew you wouldn't want to hear it but I told you anyways." he started. Gabi noticed that he was truly sorry and smiled a bit.
"Well I shouldn't have begged you to tell me. It was none of my business and I pushed it out of you- and for that I'm sorry." she said. She looked up from her hands and smiled at him.
"No I shouldn't have thought of something that stupid."
"You know what? Let's just forget about this ok? I'm sick of arguing over something like this. Friends?" she asked and held out her hand.
He looked at her and back to her face. "Friends." he shook her hand.

Sharpay and Troy have still been hiding their relationship. She'd play that part of 'Ice Princess' to him and he'd play the helpless victim act around everyone. Secretly they would send small smiles to each other.
'After school my house.' Sharpay mouthed to him at lunch.
Troy slightly nodded his head and turned away from her before people noticed him staring at her. Gabriella noticed and glanced at Ryan. He had seen the same thing play out.
"I got to go." Gabriella said and ran out of th cafeteria.
"What's with her?" Troy asked, clueless to everything.
Ryan just glared at her and chased after him.
"What's up?" Chad asked
"I don't know." Taylor said and watched where her friend just ran out.
"I'm worried." Troy said after he took a bite of his sandwich.
"Well go see what's wrong." Chad suggested after taking a sip of soda.
"For once Chad has a good idea." Jason said and Kelsi nodded her head in agreement.
"I'll talk to you later." Troy said and threw out his trash. His friends smiled and watched him run out after Gabi.
"What's up with him lately?" Taylor asked her boyfriend
"I don't know. Something's definitely going on though." Chad replied

"Gabi?" Ryan yelled, chasing after her. He couldn't believe Troy would do something like that right in front of her. "Gabi please wait." he asked and she stopped in her tracks.
"You were right. I can't believe this." she cried into her hands and slid down against the wall.
"I'm so sorry Gabs. I wish you didn't have to see that." Ryan said and sat down next to her. He pulled her towards him and held her as she cried.
"I feel so stupid. I yelled at you and you're comforting me." she said and wiped her cheeks dry.
"Of course. I hate seeing you like this." he said and smiled. He put his hands on her cheeks and used his thumbs to dry the other tears that fell.
"Thanks Ryan. I can't believe Troy isn't out here." she said and pulled herself up.
"Gabi?" Troy yelled from the end of the hallway.
"Guess I spoke to soon. What do you want Troy?" she asked and folded her arms over her chest.
"I wanted to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine. Can we talk for a sec?" she asked
"Sure." They walked into an empty classroom and sat down.
"What's up?" he asked
"I think we should break up." she said getting right to the point
"What? Why?"
"Because you're not honest with me Troy. You're doing things behind my back." she hissed,
which caused more tears to blur her vision.
"I am honest with you." he yelled, but quickly changing his tone. "What are you talking about?"
"See you're still not being honest. I see the way you look at her Troy." she said which explained everything to him.
"Who?" he asked quietly, already knowing what the answer was going to be.
"Don't play dumb Troy. It's Sharpay." she said and let the tears fall freely
"I'm sorry Gabi. I'm not going to deny it now. You mean a lot to Gabi." he said softly.
"If I meant so much to you, then why did you hurt me like this?" she asked and wiped away her
tears harshly.
"I'm sorry. At first it was accidental, you know the whole bet thing about going out with Sharpay thing-" he started
"You only went out with me because of a stupid bet?" Sharpay asked from the doorway. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Shar at first but not-" he was interrupted again by a smack across the face. He looked at Gabi as he held his cheek.
"You deserved it." she said and ran out of the room.
"Gabi I'm sorry." he yelled after her. He looked at Sharpay and hung his head down. "I'm sorry Shar."
"It's too late for apologies. I can't believe it was just a bet. I thought you cared." she wiped her eyes and looked down too.
"I did care. At first it was just a bet, but after spending time with you I forgot about the bet. It was all a mistake." he said, not even remembering about his stinging cheek.
"It sure was." she sighed and left the room.
"I love you Shar." he said to himself, looking at the spot where she just was, sadly.
Ok I know it wasn't very long but I wanted to give you guys something since it's been a long time! R&R!!
