1Sharpay stood up to go after her but Taylor quickly grabbed her.
"What?' Sharpay asked as Taylor stood up after her.
"Let her have some time." Taylor said sadly. Sharpay nodded then walked to her bed and looked over the little balcony.
"I feel so terrible. I shouldn't have told her." Sharpay sniffled a little.
"It's better we told her than let her find out later and blame us for knowing and not telling." Taylor explained. Sharpay nodded sadly.
Outside, Gabriella stood on that Evans' porch in their swinging seat with her feet up. She had tears falling down her face like a waterfall and they didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
"I hate him!" She murmured. He said he loved me, she thought bitterly. She ran her fingers through her recently straightened hair and sighed. She heard some guy voices getting closer and she wiped her eyes and looked down.
"Hey, Gabriella, why are you sitting out here alone?" Ryan asked curiously. She had her head bent in her knees with her hair covering her so they couldn't see her red eyes, red face, or red nose.
"I'm just thinking." She said a little stuffy.
"About what?" She recognized this voice to be Zeke.
"It's nothing really important. Just dumb stuff." Gabriella said quickly. She stood up quickly and said, "I'm going to take a walk."
"Sure, Gabby," Chad said. All three boys looked at her suspiciously as she walked down the porch stairs.
"I feel so bad for Gabby. I wonder what's bothering her." Ryan thought out loud as the he and Zeke played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
"Maybe..." Chad said as he logged onto his Myspace. "You feel so bad because you like her."
Ryan's hand twitched suddenly and his car crashed and the police caught him. Zeke took the controller from him.
"Yeah, I like Gabby." Ryan said slowly.
"I like Gabby, too, but you like Gabriella." Chad said.
"No, Gabriella's just my friend." Ryan said as he laid back onto his rug. He could feel his hands becoming clammy and cold.
"Well, since Ryan won't admit something, I will." Zeke said as he paused the game. "When Gabriella first came to East High...I had a crush on her but I got over her and started liking Sharpay again."
"Okay, fine. I do like Gabriella but she wouldn't be into to me because she loves Troy." Ryan said bitterly. "He claims he loves her but if he did he wouldn't be on top of Amber Rosalyn right now." Ryan's face become red with anger and jealousy.
"Troy's my best friend but what he's doing to Gabriella right now is horrible." Chad said honestly. He was staring at the computer screen. His face was hard but full of concern.
"Let's talk to him tomorrow." Zeke said. The boys nodded in agreement with each other.
