Chapter 10:
Gabriella got out of bed and pulled on the dress she had on yesterday. She looked around for her shoes. She couldn't find them anywhere.
"Where are those damn shoes!" she cried out hysterically. The body in the bed began to stir. Gabriella froze in her place.
And then ran.
She ran as fast as she could in her little black dress. She ran out of that cursed house, down those cursed seven blocks, until she reached her driveway.
Once she did though, she collapsed on the gravel in front of her mother's car, sobbing into her hands. It was all over
Sharpay picked her phone up that afternoon and put it to her ear as she searched for her favorite black shirt.
"Hello, Shar speaking" she answered as she usually would. She heard some sniffing on the other side, "hello? Who is this?"
There was a short silence on the other end before the voice spoke up in short whispers, "Shar?" she heard Gabriella cry.
"Gabi, what happened?" Sharpay asked in a worried tone.
Gabriella sniffed again and replied, "Its gone Sharpay, I lost it"
Sharpay furrowed her brow in confusion, "lost what? I can help you find it"
Gabriella began to sob, "It was the only thing I had left to give him, the only thing I kept sacred for him and now its gone!"
Sharpay got more worried and began to search for her car keys, "Gabriella, what happened, what's wrong? What's lost?"
"My virginity!" She cried out and began to sob
Sharpay gasped, "so wait, you and troy are back together?"
"No! We had this big fight and he called me a slut so I ran off. The next thing I knew is that I took a drink and woke up next to…next to someone. I'm not going to tell you who Sharpay, so you might as well not bother asking"
Sharpay gasped once again, but this time, her cell phone slipped from her fingers and crashed to the ground, bouncing off the soft carpet. She quickly stammered to pick it up.
"You don't want to tell me because you don't want me to say anything, god, Gabi…" She couldn't finish her sentence
Gabriella began to sob once again, "I don't know what happened. I cant remember anything. I only had on drink Sharpay. One fucking drink and everything is ruined!"
Sharpay gave up on the keys and just ran out of the house and six blocks down the road, "I'll be right there Gabi." She shut the phone and called Taylor, she told her to bring by any 'girl emergency' tools that can be used. But she knew it wasn't going to help.
Her best friend has been raped.
Troy got to school in search of Gabriella. He had to tell her this, he had to apologize. He loved her and no matter what happened, he always would. No matter how hard he tried to ignore those feelings, there's just something about that girl that made him tick like crazy. A huge smile played his face. He pulled the card he made her out of his locker. He had taken his time to make it for her since he had lots of trouble with the glue and the cutting. The writing wasn't easy either, but he tried his best and he hoped she'd get that. He even laid off the drugs. The drinking was another story, but he didn't do that at school anymore either.
The bell rang and Troy realized that it was too late to look for her so he headed to his first period class. Gym.
He got to the boys locker room and saw that Chad and this jerk named Steven were in a heated argument. Troy really hated Steven, especially since all he'd ever do was mess with Chad.
"Hey, why don't you just back off, Steve?" Troy walked over to them, standing next to Chad.
Steven smirked at Troy and shook his head, "Ah, Mr. Bolton, I don't think you should push me around anymore" he chuckled
Troy raised an eyebrow at him, "oh yah? Why is that?"
Steven looked over at his buddy, he pulled something black out of his backpack and threw it at Troy. Troy caught it in his hand and looked at it. It was a familiar black, lacy bra. With a name written in on the side of the tag. Troy flipped it over and read it, before freezing and dropping it to the ground
"Would you mind returning that to your girl? She left it in Kendra's guest bedroom last weekend. She managed to take her underwear, but left the bra and the shoes" Steven chuckled, he knew what he was doing to Troy, and he was loving it, "thanks buddy. She really was a good lay"
At that, Troy snapped, he looked up at Steven and punched him in the face, "I dnot want to ever hear you fucking say that about her"
Steven got up and was mad, "why? Cause she let me get into her and not you?"
Troy threw another punch, and Steven did too, "You're probably making this shit up cause you get any"
Steven stopped and smirked, "oh yah? Then how would I know about that sexy birthmark on her lower hip?"
Troy looked up and realized that Steven wasn't lying, he tackled him to the shower area.
"Oh shit, this isn't good" Chad muttered as he dove in to break them apart, "Troy, listen he's not worth it"
He held Troy back as Steve got up and wiped the blood off his lip, "yah Troy, I'm not worth it. But Gabriella sure was" he smirked.
Chad had trouble holding back a struggling Troy, "Troy stop"
"Chad, get the fuck off of me" Troy said, his eyes still trained on Steven.
Steven shook his head and chuckled, "she has the sexiest body man. I don't know how you stayed that long without banging her. I knew I couldn't"
Suddenly, Steven lay on the ground clutching his bruised face. Chad grabbed his throbbing knuckled in pain. He turned to get Troy, who he found sitting on the bench with his face in his hands.
"troy, you okay?"
"Peachy" Troy said angrily as he got up and slammed his fist into the locker, causing it to dent slightly.
"Troy! My office, NOW!" Jack Bolton yelled as he grabbed his son's shirt and pulled him into his office
"what the fuck was that Troy?" Jack yelled at his son as he shoved him into his coach's office.
Troy shrugged and looked away, "nothing. That guy was being an ass"
"What was he being an ass about?" his father asked
Troy shrugged again, "nothing"
"Well it sure as hell wasn't nothing if you took out one of my football players and a locker" Jack replied loudly. Suddenly, Jack came to a realization, "its about that Gabriella girl, isnt it? Didn't I fucking tell you she was trouble. I told you to stay away from that trailer trash Troy, look what she's don't to you"
Troy began to fume and clenched his fists, "Dad, I don't want to hit you right now, so you better stop talking, alright?"
Troy turns around and walks out of the office leaving his father stunned.
Gabriella sits at lunch alone since Sharpay had a drama club meeting and Taylor a Scholastic Decathlon one, which Gabriella couldn't be bothered to go to. She saw Troy walk out of his father's office angrily and she got up and ran after him.
"Troy!" she called out as he walked down the hallway.
He stopped but didn't turn around. She caught up with him in the empty hallway and stopped by his side.
"Troy, I need to talk to you about something" she whispered and reached out for his arm. He pulled away and stepped back, surprising Gabriella.
"Troy?" she asked confused. Troy shook his head and chuckled,
"You know Gabriella, you really fooled me" he said to her, looking her dead in the eye, "I fell in love with you and I respected you. I believe everything single fucking lie that came out of your mouth"
Gabriella stepped back at his poisonous words, "Troy, what are you talking about? Why are you doing this?"
Troy dug into his bag and pulled something out, tossing it at her. Gabriella caught it and looked down. She gasped. It was her bra. The same one she left behind in…oh no.
"Troy, listen-"
"No Gabriella, I wont fucking listen anymore" he cut her, "all that bullshit you want to spew out. Save it for someone else. You told me that you wanted to save yourself. That you wanted to wait so bad. But then you fucking lose it to the first jock you see. You're pathetic" he spat at her, "you're nothing to me. Nothing, got that? I don't want you to call me, talk to me, I don't even want you to walk next to me. Understood?"
Gabriella couldn't move, she couldn't speak, and she couldn't breathe. She didn't want to hear this. Please don't let this be real, her mind cried out to her as she felt the hate in his eyes and words.
He looked her up and down again before smirking, "you know, the baseball team is practicing, but they're almost done. I'm sure you'd want to give them a little visit" and with that, he turned around and walked away.
Gabriella stepped back dizzily before her back slammed into the lockers behind her and she sunk to the ground.
Troy got to the party a little late. The music burst through the walls of the house and played out as the people danced closely. He looked around and already found a few girls eyeing him. He winked at one and she blushed, fluttering her fake eyelashes at him. She made her way towards him. On her left, he caught a glimpse of Gabriella. Great, he thought to himself as he grabbed a drink, this was going to be a long night. He made his way to the blonde in the short skirt.
The least he could do is have fun with it.
Gabriella closed her eyes and held back tears, "Sharpay, why the hell are we here?"
Sharpay sighed and looked around, "I need to pick up Taylor, Chad said she got drunk and passed out and there was no way he could drive her either"
Gabriella nodded and looked around uncomfortably, "Sharpay, can we just find her and get back to your place quickly."
Sharpay nodded and put her arm around Gabriella, "Im so sorry Gabi but the party was on the way to my house. It will only take a second to find her, just look for Chad's hair or a bush."
Gabriella smiled a little at her friend's attempt to lighten the mood, she nodded and looked around.
Sharpay sighed and threw Gabriella that keys, "you know what? Why don't you drive to my place and ill find Taylor and we'd take a cab, okay?"
Gabriella felt a little relieved, she nodded and clutched the keys tightly.
This was going to be a long night.
Troy already had her in bed. Her bra hung on the lap shade, while his shirt was sprawled on the ground. Her tongue tangled with his, while her fingers ran down his chest to his buckle. This was his first time since after he got with Gabriella. This was it. He was doing this, he tried to tell himself, but every time he closed his eyes, he saw Gabriella. Then he saw flashes of Gabriella and Steven together.
"Troy are you okay?" the girl that lay nearly naked beside asked. He turned to her; he needed to get that image out of his head.
"Yah, let's just get this over with"
Sharpay combed the bedrooms looking for Taylor. Where the hell was she? She sighed and rubbed her forehead. She felt really bad for bringing Gabriella, so letting her go home, she felt a lot less guilty. She sighed as she opened up another door. She heard a small yelp and a loud groan,
"who the fuck is this?" the guy asked as he got up from the bed. Sharpay's eyebrows raised as she identified the no-so- stranger.
"Troy?" she asked and then got a glimpse of the girl beside him, "figures. The cheerleading captain." She shook her head and tried not to cry. How could he do this after what happened to Gabriella?
"Sharpay, get the fuck out of here"
Sharpay bent over and picked up his shirt and threw it at him, "you are the most despicable scum I have ever met. How could you screw her after everything that happened at the last party with Gabriella?"
Troy put on the shirt and got out of the bed, still in his boxers. He walked towards Sharpay and grabbed her arm to get her out of the room.
"Sharpay, I don't want to hear that name ever again, got it? Now leave" he muttered angrily.
Sharpay grabbed his shirt and pushed him to the wall, surprising him with her strength, "Gabriella gets raped and you're the one mad at her? Sounds exactly like you Troy. Cause everything has to be about you, right?"
Troy furrowed his eyebrows, "wait, what the hell are you talking about Sharpay. She fucking slept with Steven!"
Sharpay shook her head and let him go, "did you ever wonder if it was willingly?" she was about to walk away when Chad climbed up the stairs and grabbed her hand, pulling her to Troy. The scared look on his face worrying them both.
"You guys, there's been an accident"
