Aww come on please review!!! When you review you make me happy and you make me want to write more….well anyways here's a new chapter enjoy!!:D
"Ok so what about this guy… spill now!" Taylor said pulling Gabriella into the girls bathroom. "What about him?" Gabriella asked sheepishly fixing her hair in the mirror. "Oh come on Gabriella you know Im not stupid, Im captain of the decathlon team for crying out loud!" Taylor cried. "Who said you were? We have a test today right?" Gabriella tried to change the subject.
"Right….first I thought something was going on with this boy, now I know something very big is going on!! And you are not telling me, so it must be very big!" she said. "Ok so maybe something is going on…but its no big deal ok?!" Gabriella answered. "No big deal? So then tell me!" Taylor cried.
"Well I kinda know him…." She said quietly. "How kinda?"Taylor demanded.
"Well he went to my old middle school…"She said looking to the floor. "And…"Taylor said. "Well…he was….he didn't… he broke my heart ok?!" Gabriella cried.
Taylor looked really confused at Gabriella. She went by her side and put her arm around her shoulder and whispered "Im so sorry Gabs I had no idea…" "Its ok, Im over him anyways…"Gabriella sighed forcing a smile. Taylor stared and her and grin crossed her face "But is he over you?"
Taylor stared at Gabriella and watched her blush, she chuckled. "Ok Gabs, would you explain me what really happened because you got me all confused!" she whined.
Gabriella chuckled a little and told Taylor her story. Taylor just nodded and listened. When Gabriella was finally finished Taylor said "Wow, that must've been harsh girl!"
"Yeah actually it was pretty harsh…"Gabriella sighed. "Umm I know this is not the right time, but….he stared at you for the whole period!" Taylor said.
"I know, and he sat right next to me in the bus too…"she said. Taylor started "Hmmmm something's up with this boy, just remember one thing girl! This aint middle school anymore, no more Jessica Bourke, you've changed. You are strong now, plus…." "Plus what?"she asked impatiently. "Plus…you got Troy now.."Taylor squealed.
Gabriella's cheeks went scarlet and she shoved Taylor with her elbow. The both girls giggled in unison. Then they heard a clank, they both looked at the bathroom doors and just left the girls room.
All dressed in pink, Sharpay came out of the bathroom stool and said, "Looks like Montez's old little middle school crush is back, this will be fun!" She quickly put some lip gloss on, fluffed her hair in front of the mirror and ran out looking for her brother.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Hey guys!"Taylor said as she and Gabriella sat in a table. "Hey, where have you girls been, brunch is almost over!" Troy said. "Oh we were just in the bathroom, you know doing girl stuff." Taylor answered.
"Looks like someone has some digestive problems…"Chad chuckled. Taylor glared at him causing Chad to gasp. Troy and Gabriella just laughed.
Troy stared at Gabriella, Wow her laugh is almost as beautiful as she is… As Gabriella met his gaze his face blushed and he turned around. Gabriella smiled slightly.
"Geez Gabriella you look so tired what's wrong?" Chad asked with an angry Taylor still glaring at him. Gabriella blushed with the thought that thinking of Alan had took away all her sleep.
"Umm we have a really hard math test today and I kept thinking about it….right Taylor?" she said staring at Taylor. "Ummm yeah the one about…about…the numbers!? Taylor said stupidly.
Chad, Troy and Gabriella stared a moment at Taylor and finally Chad said " Really? A math test about numbers wow that's new!"
"Like you would know lump basketball head!" Taylor barked. They just glared at each other and Troy and Gabriella laughed.
"Youre gonna ace it anyway, Im so glad Im not in advanced calculus!" Troy said relieved. Gabriella giggled and said "Yeah lucky you!" They just stared at each other and smiled. Taylor and Chad saw this and started "Awww you two are just so cute."
Troy and Gaby blushed and said "Shut up you're the only love birds here!". Chad and Taylor blushed and then Chad said "With that mad scientist? No way!"
"Yeah I don't date Neanderthals! Not that you know what they are.!" Tay cried and glared at Chad. Troy and Gabriella burst out laughing and Gabriella said "You know what they say, theres just one step from hate to love!" Troy chuckled and Chad and Taylor just gave her angry stares.
The first bell rand and Gabriella rushed to her locker. She looked for her notebook and mathbook and got it out. "Good luck with your math test!" Troy smiled.
"Thanks!" Gabriella said smiling. "Well not that you need it anyway….." Troy said blushing a little. Gabriella flushed and said "Well believe it or not, I struggle in math sometimes too you know!"
Troy chuckled and said "Yeah right, well Im gonna be late see you in third!" "See ya in third!" Gabriella shouted back as she ran to her class.
As she entered the class she looked for Taylor and sat next to her. "Ready for the "test"?" Gabriella asked Taylor chuckling. "Yeah im ready for the "test"!" Taylor said using her fingers to quote test. They both laughed.
"So, why couldn't you get enough sleep?...And I want the truth." Taylor stared at her. "Well honestly I kept thinking about Alan and Troy…" she said looking at her nails.
"Oh…" Taylor responded. "Taylor, I was saying the names Troy and Alan…in my sleep…my mom heard me!" Gabriella said.
Taylor laughed and said "Well looks like someone's in love!" Gabriella lifted an eyebrow and mouthed "No way!"
"Ok class so lets get started…" the teacher started. The door opened revealing a blonde boy with a note in his hands. "Umm this is advanced calculus right?" he asked nervously.
"Yes it is, what's your name?" she asked. "Alan, Alan Beckwith?" He said. "Oh right, the transfer student from San Diego!" "Yean that's me…." He sighed.
"Very well then, take a seat next to…..Gabriella! She is my top student so she'll help you catch up on your school work!" The teacher said happily. What!?!? Just what I need, things are already crazy and now I have to help Alan in math!! Gabriella thought.
Alan sat next to her and whispered "Hi Gaby…" Gabriella stared at him and didn't answer she just looked at her notebook. Taylor saw this and kicked Gabriella under the table.
Gabriella looked up and saw a smirk on Taylor's face. She just rolled her eyes and groaned.
"Today's lesson you know it by heart Gabriella, so why don't you go outside with Alan and help him catch up!" the teacher said smiling.
Gabriella with a miserable look on her face said "Yes Miss….."
"Hey Troy!" Sharpay gushed. "Hello Sharpay…." Troy sighed.
"So Troy, what do you think of Alan?" Sharpay asked. Troy looked confused and asked "Whos Alan??"
Sharpay chuckled, "So Gabriella hasn't told you about him has she?" Troy lifted an eyebrow and said "No, what about him?"
"Well I heard her talking in the bathroom with Taylor…" Sharpay started looking at her nails. "And…" Troy said impatiently. Sharpay saw this and chuckled "Well Gabriella has a story with this guy…"
"What do you mean a story?"Troy said lifting and eyebrow. "Come on Bolton you know what I mean!" Sharpay said. "Ummm….you mean like a…." Troy struggled saying the last word.
"Yeah like a relationship, but not just of friendship.." Sharpay smirked. Troy felt very jealous about this, he didn't even know Alan but he hated him already.
"Oh…well…Gabriella is free to date anyone she wants…."Troy said looking at the floor. "Really? Well I mean if where you, Id do something about this Alan guy because Gabriella lost all her feelings for him….but they could come back. Unless…."Sharpay paused. "Unless what?!?!" Troy asked.
"You do something about it…" Sharpay said faintly. Troy just stared at Sharpay and opened his book. He couldn't concentrate so he asked for the bathroom pass and decided to take a walk around the halls to clear his mind.
Gabriella and Alan went out into the hall and sat down on the floor. Gabriella put the book up to her face so Alan couldn't see her and said " Ok so, where did you leave off?"
Alan took the book from Gabriella's hands revealing her face. He stared at her and she quickly said " What are you doing?" "Gabriella listen…."he started but was cut off by her "Look Alan if its about what happened back at Trace, whatever I mean its in the past you don't have to explain anything, you liked Jessica she liked you back, non of my business…."
Alan looked at her in disbelief and sighed "Well it wasn't like that…you never gave me a chance to explain how it really happened." Gabriella just faintly said "Oh…"
"Will you let me explain now?" He said his eyes piercing into hers. Gabriella stared at him, he could see the pain in her eyes. "Ok…"she finally said.
Alan smiled, Gabriella couldn't help but to smile back. "Well thet day that Jessica kissed me, I didn't exactly kiss her back…" Gabriella looked puzzled "You didn't?"
"No, but she was pressing her nails into my head so it was kind of hard to break free..."he said. Gabriella stared at him and then said "But the next day, you two were….together…"
"Well after you left running that day, Jessica told me that she would never mess with you again if I agreed to be her boyfriend…She also said that if I didn't, she'd make your life miserable…"Alan said.
Gabriella felt her heart skip a beat and could feel her stomach churn, "You really did all that for me?" "Yeah Gaby…you meant a lot to me. It broke my heart to see you suffer that way for me, but what Jessica was going to do to you would've been worst. I had no choice." He said.
"I…I don't know what to say.." Gabriella said. "Well you could star by saying I forgive you Alan!" Alan said smiling. Gabriella smiled and said "But I don't need to forgive you, after all you did for me. I can only say thanks!"
"So we good now?" Alan asked. "Never been better!" Gaby said smiling. Alan hugged her and Gabriella hugged him back.
Just as they were hugging, Troy walked by and saw them. He quickly turned around and hid behind a wall. He looked and saw them laughing, and Gabriella was smiling at him. He felt his blood fume and he never felt so jealous in his life. He quickly walked to his class.
"So why did you come to East High?"Gabriella asked. "Well my dad got transferred, so here I am!"he chuckled. The bell rang and Gabriella said "Oh shut we didn't talk about math at all…"
"Hmm guess you are a bad tutor Gabe!" he mocked. Gabriella froze when he heard him call her that. He was the only one who'd ever called her Gabe. She quickly answered "Umm, maybe after school I can help you. I have to stay to practice for the musical anyway and before practice starts I can help you, if you want…"
"Ok sounds good to me, See ya Gabe!" He said as he stood up and went into the classroom. She sat there for a minute thinking over what had just happened. She stood up and went for her back pack.
Taylor walked towards her and asked "So…what happened?" "Well, lets just say things are never what they seem!" she said smiling.
