Chances in this lifetime

Chapter7

Gabriella's POV

The next thing I knew m foot stepped onto what I thought was a rock, but it was water. I fell into the water and went to the bottom of the ocean floor and watched as the shells did the same thing. Kicking and moving my arms I tired to swim up, but couldn't. it was like I was paralyzed. I looked up and saw a flash of lightening and a picture of my mother and father. I then felt Troy's arms around me pulling me up. When we hit surface I could feel the light prickle of rain on my skin. I coughed and looked to where Troy would be, but he wasn't there. I looked at the rocks where he what looked like was about to dive in.

He bent down, but trying not to fall in. I looked around and noticed I was moving my arms and legs back and forth…by myself. I took his hand and he pulled me up. I stepped onto the next rock and then the next and the one after that and soon onto the sand. I plopped myself down on the sand that was now wet from the rain.

"Are you ok?" Troy asked me.

"I thought you got me…" I said staring at the rocks.

"What do you mean?" he asked bending down with his hand on my shoulder.

"I felt someone's arms wrapped around me and bring me up." I said pointing to them, while looking into his blue eyes.

"Gabi, lets bring you home, we started on your lessons tomorrow." He said standing up. I looked up at him and nodded my head in agreement not feeling up for an argument. As we walked off the beach I would look back at the rocks once in a while wondering what happened.

The Next Day

"I just think, we shouldn't do anything." I hear a voice say. It was deep one too.

"Oh, she won't get mad; I walk in on her all the time."

"Look at it this way, you saw her sleeping."

"Chad you are disgusting!"

I opened my eyes to see Taylor, Chad and Troy arguing.

"Is this your way of waking me up?" I asked rubbing my eyes sitting up.

"Ugh, no, now look Chad! You ruined our plan!" Taylor said complaining to Chad.

"It's not my fault she's a light sleeper!"

"Guys, what are you doing here in my room?" I asked, still sitting in my bed.

"Well, today is your lesson." Troy said speaking out for the first time I think.

"Lesson?" I asked shaking my head.

"Swimming lesson." Chad said plopping himself on my bed.

"In daylight?" I asked looking at him then at Taylor and Troy.

"Uh, yeah." Taylor said sitting down next to Chad.

"Ok, let me get dressed." I said getting gout of my bed and going to my closet and getting my bathing suit and cloths. I went to the bathroom and changed. I came out in a pair of Capri's and over sized top. Throwing my cloths in the laundry basket I looked at the Ocean room door.

"Gabs, what's wrong?" I heard Troy ask. I turned around and looked at the three of them who were currently sitting on my bed.

"Nothing, let's go." I said getting my phone and un plugging it from its charger and going downstairs, grabbing a towel. The gang had grabbed their towels that they left on the couch on the way out. Standing outside I walked along beside Taylor, who was arguing with Chad. Troy was on the other side with Chad.

Finally we reached the beach and set out our blankets down on the sand. Troy and Chad were off duty today.

"Ok, Gabi, come on." Troy said after a few minutes of relaxing in the sun.

"Huh?"

"Come, on, time to go for swimming." He said holding his hand out for me to take. I took his hand and we walked to the water.

"You excited?" he asked looking at me.

"Not really…." I said trailing off. I looked down at my cloths and stopped.

"Opps, I forgot to take these off, bye!" is aid about to run a way, but he grabbed my arm.

"Gabriella, you live five minutes away from here, you can go in the water with your cloths on." He said giving a laugh. I turned around giving a nervous smile.

"Troyie!" We heard a high pitched voice yell. I looked at the person who it was coming from. It was that girl from my second day here, Sharpay Evans.

"How, great it is to see you!" she said giving him and hug and him hugging her back. She pulled away and looked at me. Her smile soon fading.

"You are?" she asked looking at me.

"Oh, Gabriella Montez. We met a couple of days ago." I said holding out my hand.

"Anyway what are you doing with her?" Sharpay asked Troy.

"I am teaching her how to swim." Troy smiled looking at me. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.

"Are you kidding me? Your what our age and can't swim?" Sharpay said giving out a laugh. I looked at Troy, trying not to cry.

"No, she can swim, but she has trouble swimming, so I'm going to help her." Troy said covering up.

"Yeah, so anyhow are we still tonight or what?" she asked turning her back to me.

"Yes, we are. I'll see you tonight." He said kissing her cheek. I stood there in shock as she walked away on the sandy beach.

"Is she um…is she your girlfriend?" I asked looking at the sand as it became interesting.

"Yeah, she is actually." He said scratching his head.

"So when you asked me on a date to the splash, you were what, two timing her?" I asked looking into his ocean eyes.

"No, she was away on vacation and I wanted to take someone with me." He said trying to explain.

"so the maze showing fountain thing, holding my hand, giving me those…those shells, were because you were bored?" I asked him.

"No-."

"And I thought I could trust you! Hell, I never should've gotten on that...that motorcycle with you!"

I stormed off mad. I grabbed my towel off the found and walked away.

"GABI!" I heard Taylor yelling after me.

"Lil' LADY!" I then heard Chad's voice. I then started to run faster towards my house. Running onto the porch and into the house I locked the door behind me. How could I've trusted that…that bastard?

A/N Ok so I'm having a major writers block for this. I think I've re-written this chapter like…ten times and I still don't like it, but I wanted to post something. I'm hoping that my writing ideas for this story will kick in soon. This chapter was kind of choppy and I know that so you all have my dearest apologies. The next chapter I think will be better, but I'm not sure.

So who ever reviews this chapter I will be grateful for it and thank you all who've waited for it. Also thank you all who've been reviewing!
