Chapter 6 - I love her

Troy's P.O.V

I walked home and I saw my Dad sitting on the couch and he looked angry and shouted ''where were you, your home an hour late, what were you doing''. I looked at him, why did he start caring now, he was never even around and I shouted back ''why do you care maybe I was enjoying myself, maybe I wanted to have fun without worry about you. Dad you are never there for me, you only care about yourself. Do you know that basketball game you missed, we won, Dad, we won''.

I looked at my Dad with tears in my eyes. My Dad tried to hug me but I didn't want him near me, I had said what I needed to say and that was final.

I walked to school the next day and I saw Gabriella and I ran over to her. I looked at her brown curly hair and her eyes. I kissed her for the whole world to see. Gabriella looked at me and asked ''do you want to do something tonight''. I looked at her and kissed her and told her ''yeah, I got basketball practice but we can hang out after''.

Gabriella put her hand on my cheek and I grabbed her hand and she kissed me and said ''I could come to practice and afterwards we could play''. Gabriella smiled and walked off but I ran over to her and picked her up and she kissed me. I turned around and saw Chad, he saw everything, and I knew he would be mad but he was ok with it.

I looked at Gabriella talking to Taylor, I was falling more and more in love with her.

I walked into English class and saw Gabriella talking to Taylor. I was about to walk over to her when Sharpay looked at me and said ''why her Troy, I am so much better than her''.

Sharpay was such a drama queen and I told her ''maybe that's why I like her besides I heard a rumor that Zeke likes you''. I walked off and sat down, Gabriella walked over to me and said ''hi playmaker, is your head in the game''. I smiled and told her ''no, it is focused on you''.

I couldn't believe I said that out loud but it was true. Gabriella smiled and kissed me, when we kissed, it was like fireworks like the kind you see in movies. The teacher came in and we both sat down and Gabriella and I kept smiling at each other.

It was lunchtime and Chad came running in with papers and said ''read this, it's about your girlfriend''. I started to read, it was about a Montez family, I didn't believe Gabriella was a part of that life. I looked at Chad and told him ''you got this wrong, you maybe got the names mixed up''.

Chad gave me other piece of paper and he told me ''then why is there a picture of her with her Dad, he is your Dad's worst enemy, this relationship is not right Troy''. I couldn't believe what Chad said, I looked at the papers and ripped them up and shouted ''so what, it is not our fault, we are who we are''.

I gave them to Chad and walked off. Would Gabriella be the daughter of my Dad's worst enemy but it's not our fault who we fall in love with, it's nobody fault.

I walked into practice and I saw Gabriella sitting in the stands. She looked so pretty sitting there. We practiced our drills and played a game and afterwards everyone left and Gabriella walked into the court and picked up the ball and said ''you ready''. I smiled and we started playing the game. I looked at Gabriella and grabbed the ball out of her hands and she shouted ''hey''.

I looked at her and put my hand through her hair and told her ''this should make up for it''. I kissed her and my Dad walked in, Gabriella picked up her bag and left. My Dad walked over to me angry, I guess what Chad said was right, she is a Montez.

My Dad shouted ''what were you thinking, dating a Montez, she is the enemy''. I looked at my Dad upset and I told him ''guess what Dad, I love her, I didn't ask to be born into this family''.

My Dad was getting more and more angry and he shouted ''you're the son of the mafia, not a boyfriend''. All the upset I filled came bursting out and I shouted back ''did you ever think maybe I could be both''. I looked at my Dad and dropped the ball, why was this relationship so hard to come by, it's not our fault.
