Troy walked over to her and sat beside her.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Gabriella turned towards him.

"Do you really want to know?" she sobbed. Troy sighed.

"Of course I want to know. Look Gabriella I'm really sorry about the way I have been treating you" Troy replied. Gabriella wiped away her tears.

"It's just….I just….you were my best friend before we started going out and this is what I was afraid of. I just don't want to lose you." She said. Troy smiled.

"You're never gonna lose me. I'm always here. Even if we are seeing other people I will always be here for you" he replied. Gabriella smiled.

"You promise?" she asked. They looked each other in the eyes and Troy replied with a serious expression "I promise."

"Let's just start over" Gabriella suggested.

"Ok sounds good to me. Hey you busy Saturday?" Troy asked.

"No why?" Gabriella replied. Troy smiled.

"Wanna hang out?" he asked. Now it was Gabriella's turn to smile.

"I'd love to. But what about Sharpay?" She replied. Troy sighed.

"She won't mind" he replied. They both knew she would be angry but they didn't care, they needed to spend time together. Suddenly the bell rang and they both got up and ran to their homeroom. They quietly slipped inside and listened to Mrs. Darbus talk about her summer. Finally the bell rang and Chad ran over to Troy,

"Ready for Science?" he asked. Troy laughed.

"Oh yeah" he said sarcastically. Everyone headed to their classes.

Gabriella sat in her Advanced Calculus class next to Taylor listening to the teacher talk about the formulas they should memorize. Gabriella was trying to write notes until her phone vibrated in her pocket. She quickly pulled out her sidekick and read the message.

U havin fun in calc

-T

It read. Gabriella giggled. She knew he shouldn't be texting in class but she already knew this stuff anyways,

Bunches lol

-G

she typed back. She quickly looked up to make sure the teacher wasn't looking. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around.

"Who are you texting?" Taylor asked. Gabriella smiled.

"Troy" she replied. She quickly turned back around and waited for the next text.

Lunch finally arrived and Sharpay quickly ran to Troy as he was gathering his stuff.

"Ugh, I can't believe Ms. Griffin wouldn't let us sit next to each other. She obviously doesn't understand what a boyfriend is. She probably never had one!" Sharpay screeched. Troy looked at her.

"That isn't very nice Sharpay. Besides it's only a seat." He replied. Sharpay scoffed.

"I wanna sit next to you, not that gross nerdy kid" she wined. Troy sighed and started walking away. Sharpay ran up to him.

"Hey where are you going?" she asked. He stooped at his locker, opened it up and put his stuff inside.

"I'm going to lunch" he replied. He shut his locker and started making his way to the cafeteria. Sharpay caught up to him and grabbed his hand.

Troy sighed. He didn't know why but suddenly he didn't like hanging out with Sharpay anymore. But now that he thought of it he never really liked hanging out with her. They arrived at the cafeteria and while Sharpay got in line Troy started walking to the table. Troy sat down at the empty table and started eating his lunch.

One by one everybody arrived until only Sharpay was missing. Troy was talking to Gabriella about how boring history was when suddenly he heard someone clear their throat behind him. He turned around and saw Sharpay giving Gabriella a death glare. Gabriella made space for Sharpay to sit next to Troy and Sharpay quickly sat down. Troy looked behind Sharpay and mouthed sorry to Gabriella.

"So what's for lunch?" Sharpay asked. Troy looked at her with a confused look. He glanced at her tray and noticed all she had was a salad.

"Uh….I don't know?" he replied. She giggled.

" Troy you're so silly, lemme see" she said as she grabbed his lunch. He and Gabriella exchanged glances and looked at Sharpay. By this time everybody was looking at Sharpay to try and figure out what was going on.

She pulled out every item until the bag was empty.

"Let's see an apple, a turkey sandwich, water and chips" she said.

"Well you need healthier food baby. Here have my salad" she said. He looked across the table at Chad who was now laughing hysterically.

"Sharpay, its fine. I like my lunch" Troy replied. Sharpay started pouting.

"But baby if you want to stay slim you have to eat better foods. You don't think I keep my amazing body skinny by eating turkey sandwiches do you?" she replied. Troy sighed. He knew he wouldn't be able to get out of this.

"Ok" he said as he grabbed her salad. Sharpay smiled and put his food back in the bag. She was about to throw it away until Gabriella spoke up.

"Wait, I'll have it" she said.

"Fine, if you want to add on pounds, be my guest" Sharpay said. She handed the bag over to Gabriella. The bell rang that signaled lunch was over and the gang made their way out of the cafeteria. Gabriella waited until Sharpay finally left Troy's side until she went up to him.

"Hey" she said as she caught up. He turned around.

"Oh hey" he replied. "Sorry for what happened at lunch"

"Don't apologize for what Sharpay did and it's no problem. Here's your lunch" She said as she handed him the bag. Troy smiled.

"Thanks" he replied. "Well see, you later" he said. She smiled.

"Yeah, bye" she replied. She walked to her locker and got her stuff. She quickly made her way to her Biology class and sat down.

She sat in the back and waited for Taylor. Taylor finally arrived and took the seat next to Gabriella. The bell rang and the class silenced. The teacher started discussing the laws of physics while Gabriella and Taylor were writing notes to each other.

So are you and Troy friends again? Taylor wrote. She quickly put the note on Gabriella's desk. Gabriella grabbed the note and read it.

Yeah, we're gonna hang out on Saturday. Gabriella wrote back. She quickly handed it to Taylor and the cycle went on during the whole class period.

Gabriella quickly made her way out of class, and to her locker. She opened her locker and put her Biology book away and grabbed her Calculus book. She started walking out of school. She made her way to the parking lot and sat on the bench.

"Need a ride?" she heard behind her. She turned around and saw Troy standing there.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yeah, come on" he said. They walked to his car and got in. He started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"So, why aren't you giving Sharpay a ride?" Gabriella asked.

"She doesn't have a free period, and if you hadn't convinced me to rake my English credits during the summer I wouldn't either." He said. They both started laughing.

"It wasn't easy" she replied. They started talking about how hard it was to convince Troy to go to summer school and before they knew it they arrived at Gabriella's house.

"Thanks Troy. Do you want to come in?" She asked. Troy looked at his watch.

"Sure" he said. He put the car in park and walked with Gabriella to the door. Gabriella unlocked the door and walked inside. Troy shut the door behind him.

"Mom, I'm home" Gabriella shouted. Mrs. Montez walked in the room.

"Hey sweetie, how was school?" She asked.

"Good" Gabriella replied. Mrs. Montez looked at Troy.

"Hello, Troy" she said.

"Hi, Mrs. Montez." He replied.

"Mom, Is it ok if Troy comes up to my room? I'm going to help him with his math homework" Gabriella asked. Mrs. Montez looked at her daughter with a confused look which was returned by a pleading one.

"Uh, ok" she finally replied. Gabriella and Troy walked upstairs into Gabriella's room and Gabriella shut the door.

"Why did you lie to your mom?" Troy asked.

"I don't know" Gabriella admitted.

"It's because you wanted me all to yourself" Troy stated. Gabriella laughed.

"In your dreams" She replied.

"You know you want me" Troy replied. They both started laughing and fell on the bed. Gabriella turned to her side to face Troy.

"Do you love Sharpay?" she asked. Troy turned to look at her and sighed.

"I don't know. It's all so confusing. I thought I liked her in a girlfriend way but now I'm not so sure." He replied. Gabriella giggled.

"You've only been dating her for 2 days. Give her a chance" she replied. Troy smiled.

"Why are you sticking up for her?" he asked.

"I don't know. I mean I know she can be mean sometimes but she is a girl and I know I wouldn't want my boyfriend to break up with me after only two days" she replied. Troy got the horrible feeling again.

"I'm so sorry for what I did to you" Troy said. Gabriella looked him in the eyes.

"I know you are and I forgive you. I just want to be friends. Besides you weren't my life or anything" she replied.

"Is that so" he said. Gabriella smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't even really like you" she said.

"Ooh, that hurts" he said. They both smiled.

"Do you want some ice for that burn" she said. She started laughing.

"That's it montez, you're getting it now." He said. He started tickling her. She squirmed uncontrollably.

"Stop" she cried. He kept tickling her.

" Troy….stop….stop" she said as she was laughing. Finally he stopped tickling her and she got off of the bed.

"Ha, sucker" she said as she ran out her room. She ran don the stairs with Troy chasing her. She quickly ran out the door. She closed the door behind her and hid behind a bush. She heard the door open.

"Where are you Gabriella? I'm gonna find you" Troy teased. She quietly got out of the bush and started running down the street. She was almost across the street when she felt someone's arms around her lifting her up.

"Oh no you don't" he said. Gabriella started laughing.

"Ok fine Troy I give up, you win." She said. He put her down. They looked in each other's eyes. Troy started leaning in. Their lips were centimeters apart now. They were just about to kiss when Troy felt his pocket vibrate. He pulled away and took his phone out of his pocket. Gabriella looked away while Troy answered his phone.

"Yeah, I'm at Gabriella's house. Yeah I'll be home in a few minutes." He said as he hung up the phone.

"My mom" he stated. Gabriella looked at him.

"You have to head home?" she asked.

"Yeah" he replied. They stood there awkwardly.

"Well, I should go inside. I have math homework" Gabriella said.

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow" Troy said.

"Yeah, bye Troy" Gabriella replied. Troy walked to his car and got in. He drove to his house and opened the door.

"Mom, I'm home" he said. He walked up to his room and closed the door behind him. He sighed and fell on his bed. Tomorrow was going to be interesting.
