Ryan kept fidgeting in class. He wasn't even paying attention to Mr. Glick speaking about the revolution. Ryan looked over at Gabriella's empty seat wondering where she could be. Ryan picked up his cell phone and began discreetly typing to Taylor who was sitting a few seats in front of him.
Ryan: Where's Gabs
Taylor turned around and shrugged. Ryan bit his bottom lip and asked for the pass to the principal. Mr. Glick gave him the pass and Ryan bolted out of the room. He hurried towards the lab room and peeked in. There was no sign of Troy and Ryan was getting nervous. He quickly texted Sharpay.
"Chad, what do I say to Troy when I see him?" Gabriella whispered as they walked into the park. Chad shrugged and said, "Tell him everything you wanted to say."
"Okay," Gabriella mumbled trying to collect her thoughts. She sighed a few times when she heard, "Hey, Chad over here!"
"TROY!" Chad said and ran over to his best friend. Gabriella was watched them hug and groaned. She turned around to walk home but Troy looked at her and walked over to her. They stared at each other for a while and Gabriella began to cry and Troy kissed her and she kissed back. As they kissed Gabriella continued crying and running her fingers through his hair. Troy held her close and felt the world was right again.
They kissed for almost five minutes until Chad coughed to get them back to earth. Gabriella pulled away from Troy and they stared at each other before Gabriella spoke.
"Troy, you really hurt me." Gabriella said crossing her arms.
"I know…I know. I'm so sorry. Gabby, I love you so much." Troy said looking her in her eyes.
"But if you loved me like you said you did you would have never had sex with Amber Rosalyn!" Gabriella said crying again. She punched Troy on his arm and looked away at the lake.
"Okay, Gabriella, I admit that I kissed her in the staircase and that I was texting her on the way back…but I never had sex with her that night or ever. I went with my parents and Amber and her parents. I won't lie I wanted to hang out with Amber but I don't know what was wrong with me."
"Troy, are you lying to me…because I was told that you did have sex with Amber and that you said you had wanted it to be over with us for a while." Gabriella said wiping her eyes.
"Who told you that?" Troy asked getting angry. Troy turned to Chad who shook his head and held up his hands defensively.
"Ryan told me that!" Gabriella said. Troy laughed dryly and said, "Of course Ryan would tell you something like that…Gabriella, Ryan likes you. He's liked you since forever….but don't you like Ryan now?"
Gabriella scrunched up her nose and sighed, "I don't think so….I mean I'm not sure."
Troy nodded slowly and said, "Do you still like me?"
"No," She said quickly. Troy's face fell and his eyes watered. She smiled and said, "I love you." Troy and her smiled at each other and kissed again.
