It's been long since I updated this story, I'm sorry about that, but this time this isn't the only chapter that I will post, but all the chapters for this story till it's finished. :)

Chapter 19: just friends

TROY'S POV:

*sighs* ''And what do you think that I should do?''

''Well, since you broke up with Sharpay, I think that you should spend more time with Gabriella. You are obviously in love with Gabriella, and your both single now.''

''Chad, she just broke up with her boyfriend.''

''I know, but that doesn't mean that you can't spend a lot of time with her.''

''Yeah, as friends''.

''Yeah, and make a move.''

"CHAD!''

''What? Your Troy Bolton''.

''So? That doesn't change anything.''

''Maybe, maybe not. But my point is, you really love that girl, so you can't just leave it like this.''

''I can. Chad, she just got out of a relationship of a year, that's a really long time.''

''I know.''

''So, for now me and Gabriella are just friends, and we are going to stay that.''

''Bad decision.''

I sighed. ''Chad, it's for the best. Besides I don't want to mess things up. I really like her.''

''If you say so.''

GABRIELLA'S POV:

with Gabriella, Kelsi and Taylor

''Well, I have to go, I'll see you two later, bye girls.'' Kelsi said.

''Bye Kelsi.'' We said and we watched as Kelsi walked away.

''So what are you going to do Gabriella?''

''I guess that I'm going to avoid Sharpay as much as possible.''

''Alright, and with Troy?''

''What do you mean?''

''Well, are you going to tell Troy what you feel for him or are you going to say nothing and stay just friends?''

''Well the second option, since I don't like that he feels more for me then just friendship, besides he just broke up with Sharpay, I don't think that he wants a relationship right now.''

''Gabriella, he kissed you''

''Yeah, I know. But that was weeks ago, and right after that he wanted to avoid me as much as possible.''

''That wasn't for a long time, like what 2 weeks?''

''Yeah something like that. But we are just friends right now.''

''But you want to get together with him.''

''Of course, I love him Tay, but I really don't think that he feels the same for me.''

''You can always ask him that.''

''Then I'll look stupid.''

''Do you always want to stay just friends with Troy?''

''I think so, I don't want to lose my friendship with him again, it's way to important to me.''

''But you love him.''

''Yeah, so?''

''It will make you unhappy.''

''Being friends is better then having to avoid him all the time.''

''Gabriella, do you know what I think that you should do?''

''What Tay?''

''That you should follow your heart and take the risk. Just tell him how you feel.''

''Maybe I will someday, but not now, he just broke up with Sharpay.''

''I know, I just want that you to be happy, that's all.''

I smiled. ''I just want to do what I think that's the best thing to do that's all.''

6 weeks later...

I was walking in the hallway of the school and when I turned around the corner I saw Sharpay. Me and Sharpay still aren't friends, but I don't have to avoid her. I never really had to do that. Sharpay was really mad, but that changed very quickly. Thanks to one of Troy's friends... Zeke. Sharpay hangs out a lot with Zeke and she looks really happy. So far as I know, they are just friends.

As I was watching Sharpay, I saw Zeke coming around the corner and walking towards Sharpay. I started listening to the conversation between Sharpay and Zeke.

''Hey Shar'' Zeke said.

''Hey Zeke, what's up?'' Sharpay said.

''Not much, where did you want to talk with me about?''

''Well, I don't know how to say this...'' She said nervously.

''Since when do you not know how to say something, your Sharpay Evans.'' He said jokingly.

''That's not funny Zeke.''

''Sorry Shar, you know that you can say everything to me right?''

''I know.'' She sighed. '' Well I really like you a lot, even more then just as a friend and I wanted to ask you if you want to go out with me. It's okay if you don't want to, I understand.''

''Sharpay, of course I will go out with you, I like you too.'' Zeke said.

''You know that it's very rude to listen to other people's conversations right?'' Someone said. I turned around to see that it was Troy.

''Troy, you scared the hell out of me, please don't do that again.''

''Than you shouldn't be doing sneaky things.''

''Normally, I never do things like this.''

''Chill Gabi, it's fine.'' Troy said and looked in the direction of Sharpay and Zeke and started to smile.

I turned around to see Zeke giving a kiss on Sharpay's cheek and then I looked back at Troy.

''I'm glad to see that she is happy with Zeke.''

''You don't mind that she moved on so quickly?''

''Not at all, I'm glad that she did. I don't like to see her sad.''

end of this Chapter.

Just one chapter left and then this story is finished. Please review, I like to hear what you think of this chapter. Personally I don't really like this chapter.
