Chapter 9 – Troy's ring
It was Monday morning and Gabriella had spent the rest of the weekend just thinking about Troy. Something she had noticed was that when she saw Kyle this morning he just completely blanked her which confused her. She had no idea whether she had done something to upset him or what. Sharpay said he probably was being teased by some of his mates and to just ignore it as it was probably nothing. Gabriella walked into her classroom and found a white envelope with her name written on it just sat there. Gabriella carefully picked up the envelope and could tell there was something in it. Opening the envelope, Gabriella emptied the contents into her hand and was surprised to see a ring fall out but nothing else. Looking closely at the ring she realized it was Troy's class ring that he gave her after their one month anniversary only for her to return it to him the day they broke up.
"What's that?" Gabriella looked to her door and saw Chloe standing there.
"Its Troy's class ring. I don't know who put it here but I have a pretty good idea." Chloe looked at Gabriella who nodded. "Kyle."
"But how would he know where Troy's ring was?" Chloe asked.
"Think about what you just said. It's Kyle. He knows everything." Chloe nodded her head in agreement knowing her brother.
"Well what are you going to do with it?" Chloe asked sitting on a chair at the front of the room.
"Give it to Kyle when I have him next period before lunch where I will hold him back and try and figure out what is wrong with him." Gabriella explained.
"Good luck with that." Gabriella smiled and put the ring back in the envelope and in her bag to make sure she didn't lose it.
"So what are you doing here? Don't you have class?" Gabriella asked as Chloe shook her head.
"No, we got a study period but I kind of need some help and you're the only one I can come to with this." Gabriella looked up hearing the seriousness in Chloe's voice.
"Are you ok?" Chloe shrugged as she put her head on the desk in front of her.
"If I tell you something, promise you won't go to anyone else with this." Chloe said as Gabriella nodded.
"Of course I won't. Chloe please just tell me what's going on." Gabriella pleaded as she moved closer to her, placing her hand on her shoulder.
"There's this guy you see, he said he really likes me but yet his girlfriend is the most popular cheerleader in our year and has a go at me if I so much as smile at him." Gabriella smiled as she listened to Chloe. "Well the other day we were both in detention with Ms Darbus and after he offered to walk me home and we kind of kissed." Chloe let out a load groan.
"Well that might be a slight problem then." Chloe glared at Gabriella. "Ok well did he say anything after?" Gabriella asked.
"No and now whenever I see him it's kind of awkward and his girlfriend has this smug look on her face as if to say 'told you he's not interested in me'. Gabi what do I do? I really like him!"Chloe exclaimed.
"How exactly do you feel about him?" Gabriella asked.
"I think I'm falling for him when I know it's wrong. What was it like between you and Troy not having anyone to support you?"
Gabriella shrugged.
"It was kind of different for us because we were both single but it was hard knowing we had these feelings but had to hide them. I guess what you need to do is talk to him when he is on his own and see how he feels. Try telling him your feelings because if you don't you will regret it everyday not knowing if he feels the same way. It took Troy and I a long time before we admitted our true feelings and then when we did we couldn't have been happier."Gabriella told her.
"So you think I need to tell him how I feel and if he feels the same way then we take it from there?" Gabriella smiled and nodded.
"Just don't do anything else either while he has a girlfriend because then you are the one in the wrong." Gabriella warned as Chloe stood up and hugged her.
"You know I don't know what I would do without you in my life." Gabriella laughed. "Seriously if I didn't have you I wouldn't really have anyone to talk to. And don't say I have my mom because whenever mom and I talk somehow the 'birds and bees' talk get brought up every time. It's embarrassing. I tell you I wish sometimes Troy was around more and could help with these probs." Gabriella hugged her.
"Troy would most likely kill any guy who even looked at you and you know he would." Chloe laughed.
"Yep and he would enlist Dad, Kyle, Chad and the other guys to help." Gabriella smiled awkwardly. "Sorry. I shouldn't have brought them up." Gabriella shook her head. Chloe knew the reason why the whole gang fell out but didn't tell Kyle she knew.
"Nah it's ok." Just then the bell went. "Well it looks like I'm about to have a very interesting lesson with your brother." Chloe laughed as she grabbed her books and thanked Gabriella for listening.
With Kyle
Kyle was walking to his science class with Gabriella, hoping he could get away with not talking to her. Troy had called him up and told him to stop harassing Gabriella about their relationship and now even his friends were mocking him for how much time he spent with her.
"Hey Kyle!" Owen called from behind.
"Hey O what's up?" Kyle asked as they walked into the room.
"Nothing much. Hey did you hear that apparently Miss Montez or Gabriella to you is going to chaperone the school dance coming up." Owen told him as Kyle shrugged. He was starting to lose faith in his plans.
"Who cares? She is just a teacher." Owen stopped in shock.
"I thought that you cared about her." Owen stated as Kyle shrugged.
"Well I don't so just leave it!" Kyle exclaimed. Gabriella who was at her desk looked up a bit hurt hearing what Kyle said.
"Right everyone settle down." Gabriella stood up and carried on her lesson.
Throughout the lesson Gabriella kept picking on Kyle just to make him realize she wanted his attention. As soon as the bell rang, everyone started packing up.
"Kyle I want a word." Kyle groaned as Owen and Ste patted his back.
"What do you want?!" Kyle angrily asked.
"Kyle what's going on? I'm worried about you." Gabriella told him as he glared at her.
"It's none of your business. I don't care if you're worried about me! My life doesn't concern you so just stay the hell out of my life!" Kyle yelled as Gabriella before storming off and leaving a very shocked Gabriella behind. Kyle got down the hall to his locker and punched his locker.
"That's not a good idea." Kyle turned round coming face to face with his sister.
"What Chloe?" Kyle asked as he slid down his locker.
"Come on spill. You don't go bashing up your locker for no reason." Chloe stated as Kyle shrugged.
"Everyone thinks there is something going on between me and Gabi and that I should get real and leave her alone. On top of that Troy called and told me to stop interfering in Gabriella's life and I should stop hassling her. I let Troy listen to the conversation I had with Gabi on Saturday which I recorded where she said she still loved him and he hasn't spoke to me really since. Only this morning he called me and told me if I don't stop interfering with his life he will never talk to me again." Chloe sat down next to Kyle.
"Kyle don't give up because of what Troy said and ignore the others who are probably just jealous. Don't take it out on Gabi because she hasn't done anything wrong. Kyle trust me this is too big for you to handle on your own. Let me help." Chloe explained as Kyle sighed.
"Fine. Thanks Chloe. I better go find Gabi and apologize for what I just did." Kyle stood up and went to walk away.
"Oh Kyle by the way, nice touch leaving Troy's ring behind for Gabi." Kyle grinned as he walked off to Gabriella's room.
Gabriella was sat at her desk when she remembered Troy's ring. She got the ring back out of her bag and held it in her hand. She placed it on her middle finger on her right hand where it used to be.
"Wearing Troy's ring again?" Gabriella looked up to see Sharpay standing at the door. "You ok?"
"Yeah, just thinking. Kyle's acting weird and I'm trying to figure out what I have done." Gabriella told her.
"How about its just Kyle being an idiot." Kyle walked in and smiled. "I'm sorry about before. I was just stressed about stuff and I just took it all out on you." Kyle apologized.
"You're not going to shout at me again are you?" Kyle shook his head.
"Nope." Gabriella smiled as Kyle hugged her. "I'm sorry again!"
"It's ok. Now out before I make Sharpay talk you out." Sharpay gave him a warning look.
"I'm out." Kyle left after seeing Gabriella wearing Troy's ring knowing that maybe his plans were going to work after all and he just had to be even sneakier.
