"College is where you will find your place as adults, children." Mrs. Winterchaser, the school's counselor said, pacing up and down the auditoriums stage. "There, you will see all the different types of responsibilities that come with being adult. The most important responsibility is choosing from right and wrong. Do any of you have anything to say, so far?"
Chad rolled his eyes, covering a yawn. "Yeah, Mrs. W, lunch is in like five minutes."
The thirty some odd woman arched a brow at him. "Mr. Danforth, shush." she hissed into the microphone, causing the rest of the Seniors to begin to laugh at the afro-headed boy.
"So rude." Chad mumbled under his breath. He glanced toward Troy, who was playing with his phone, next to him. "What are you doing?"
Troy looked up, brushing his bangs from his eyes. "Nothing, why?" he whispered.
"We are supposed to be listening to this speech." Chad muttered, not knowing Mrs. Winterchaser had stopped talking and was watching the two, along with the rest of the Senior class.
"I am listening." Troy said, searching through the internet on his phone.
Chad shook his head. "You're so gonna get in trouble."
"Yes, you two are." Mrs. Winterchaser said, glaring at the two as they looked up, blushing. "After school detention Mr. Danforth and Mr. Bolton."
"See, I told you that you were gonna get in trouble." Chad scoffed, crossing his arms and leaning into his chair as Mrs. Winterchaser began to talk again.
Troy rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Ever since that last Sunday morning when Gabriella broke up with him, he had been acting nonchalent. Now, Wednesday afternoon, he was still hurting, but hated talking about it.
Gabriella turned away from staring at Troy as she sat eight students down from him. Sighing, as yet another day was passing where he refused to even acknowledge her. Part of her was still angry at him, while the other half missed him like crazy. She silently began to cheer as Mrs. Winterchaser began closing her long speech.
"Finally." Taylor muttered, standing up as the Senoir lunch bell went off. She sat up, stretching, noticing Gabriella's sad face. "What's wrong?"
Gabriella shook her head and began to follow Sharpay out of the row. "Nothing."
Taylor nodded, unconvinced. She turned back to Troy who was looking down, while loosening his tie. She turned around his quickly as he began to pick his head up. She heard Sharpay let out a loud groan as they exited the auditorium and began to walk in the hallway.
"Did that woman seriously need to talk for an hour? I was so close to falling asleep." Sharpay said, walking toward their row of lockers.
Kelsi who's locker was in between Gabriella's and Taylor's, gasped. "I thought it was great. I think that Mrs. Winterchaser really knows how to give a speech."
Sharpay looked at her green-eyed friend crazily, before turning around as she felt someone pinch her sides. She giggled and turned around to Zeke smiling at her. "Hey, baby." she said, kissing him softly.
Gabriella stayed silent watching her friend's greet their boyfriends, feeling slightly outed. She glanced up to Troy who was standing there, nervously. Her stomach dropped as his blue eyes met her brown ones, only to see them quickly turn away.
"Uh, guys, I'm gonna go to lunch. I'll see you guys later." Troy said, nodding his head toward them and turning around, walking away.
Gabriella sighed, closing her locker and leaning on it. "All thanks to me." she muttered.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Gabs, don't tell me that you're starting to have doubts about breaking up with Troy."
"I don't know." Gabriella answered simply. "You don't think that I should've just worked it out with him?" She looked at Chad as she heard him let out a loud laugh.
"Duh, Montez. I can't believe you broke up with him for having sex with Alexa, when you two weren't even together. Sure maybe he lied to you, but you can't honestly stand here and tell me you have never lied to him."
"Shut up, Chad." Taylor said, slapping her boyfriend on his chest, making him wince.
Gabriella shook her head. "No, he's right." she said, softly. She waved and smiled weakly, beginning to walk away. "I'm gonna go give my test to Mrs. B."
Sharpay glared at Chad. "Way to go. You're making her doubt herself."
"What? It's true." Chad shrugged, looking at the blonde innocently.
"No, it's not." Sharpay said, angrily as she shut her locker and began to walk away.
Troy looked up as he heard his name being shouted from the other side of the cafeteria. He smiled as he saw Marcus Tate, one of his fellow teammates walking toward his table. "What's up, man?"
"Not much. I just wanted to tell you that I'm throwing a house party tonight. This is like the only day that my parents are out of the house for the whole entire night. You better come."
Troy chuckled. "Yeah, I'll be there."
Marcus patted Troy's back. "Good. See you later." He nodded his head toward the blue eyed boy and walked away, leaving Troy feeling alone.
"Finally, that boy left." Alexa muttered, sliding next to Troy.
"Back off, Alexa." Troy sighed, scooting over and continuing to stare at the cold looking mashpotatos.
Alexa bit her lip and rested a hand on his knee. "Troy, you and Gabriella are over. Realize it." she replied, sliding closer to him so that their two bodies were touching.
"That doesn't mean that me and you get a fucking free pass to get together." Troy said, pushing her hand off of him. "Don't you have any other lives to go screw with?"
"I have tons, but you're the one that I really want." Alexa whispered, while brushing his bangs out of his face. "And I know you want me too."
Sharpay gripped her pink Coach purse as she stared off at Alexa and Troy. "Dammit." she cursed under her breath. "That whore doesn't know when to just give up."
Taylor shrugged. "Troy and Gabriella are over, Shar. We can't really do anything."
Sharpay shook her head, glaring off at Alexa who was whispering into Troy's ear. "Disgusting is what it is." she said, as her, Taylor and Kelsi sat at one of the many lunch tables.
"Add two and you get fifteen." Gabriella muttered, sitting on a bench outside while working on her latest math homework. She was currently skipping out on Social Studies, not wanting to deal with Troy, considering they were partners on the latest project. She let out a soft groan as her math book slid off her lap onto the grass.
"Here you go." Caleb said, running in front of her and grabbing the book. He grinned and set it back on her lap.
Gabriella looked away from him quickly, knowing that he was one of Alexa's good "friends". She continued writing. "Thanks." she said, simply.
"No problem. What's up?" he asked, sitting next to her.
"Nothing."
Caleb nodded, pursing his lips together. "Algebra's a killer. Can I get a tutor?" he asked, chuckling.
Gabriella looked up from her book, glaring at him. "Listen, I don't know what kind of games you and Alexa are playing, but stay the hell away from me. You and her did exactly what you guys wanted, so, now you can leave me alone. I should've listened to Troy about you, you stupid bastard." she said, standing up. She whimpered, as Caleb gripped her arm.
"Listen, Montez. Don't question me about what I've done, ok? I only did it so you would stop being Bolton's little whore. You got that?" He glared at her as she stayed silent, fear in her eyes. "I said, do you got that?" he asked, raising his voice.
Troy narrowed his eyes at the two as he began walking down the steps from the door, watching Gabriella who was trying to push the boy away from her. He stood there for a moment, thinking about if he should walk over.
"Let go of me!" Gabriella yelled.
Caleb rolled his eyes. "Answer the damn question. Would you rather still be Bolton's whore?"
Troy tightened his first, beginning to walk down the steps of the school. He let out a breath, as he stood to the side of the bench, hearing Gabriella's whimpers. "Back the fuck off of her, Hinderson."
Gabriella turned around quickly, relief washing over. She winced as Caleb slid his hand down and tightened his grip around her waist. "Troy." she whimpered, forgetting their terms at the moment as she saw the softness in Troy's eyes as he glanced at her.
"What a surprise. Bolton, here to save the world." Caleb said, sarcastically.
"Just let her go and we won't have a problem." Troy replied, holding his tightened fist behind his back.
Caleb shrugged, laughing. "Yeah, and then once Gabriella runs into your arms, you'll go screw Alexa right afterwards?"
Troy let out a sarcastic laugh. "And if I do? What I do is none of your fucking business."
Caleb looked at Gabriella who was looking down, nervously. He threw her arm down, letting go of her. "This isn't over, Bolton." he said, pushing past the blue eyed boy.
Gabriella sat on the bench holding her red wrist, thanks to Caleb's death grip on her.
"You ok?" Troy asked, softly, slightly uncomfortable.
"Yeah." Gabriella said, looking up, brushing her bangs out of her eyes. "Thanks."
Troy smiled gently. "No problem." he sighed, slipping his hands into his khaki pants. He nodded his head toward her. "I'll see you later."
Gabriella stayed silent, badly wanting to say something, but deciding not to. She knew that they weren't on conversational level, yet, but one day to be, even if it meant days, weeks, months or years from now. She wanted them to be ok again.
"Gabs, what do you think life would've been like if I stayed pregnant?" Sharpay asked, suddenly as Gabriella was driving the two.
Gabriella turned to her friend, looking at her confused. "Where'd you get that from?"
Sharpay shrugged. "I don't know. It just stays in the back of my mind."
"Well," Gabriella said, sighing, "I think you would've been most likely throwing up right now, having raging hormones and you know, normal pregnancy stuff." She smiled weakly, driving onto her house's street.
Sharpay nodded. "I see, I see." She took another sip of her bottled water. "What about if you and Troy were still together?" she asked, noticing the sudden grimace on Gabriella's face.
"I don't even like thinking about it." Gabriella replied, softly. "I'm not even sure what I think about the whole break-up."
"You wanna get back together with him, don't you?" Sharpay asked, hiding in her smirk.
Gabriella shook her head. "I don't know what I want."
Sharpay rolled her eyes, as the brunette parked into the driveway of the large home. "Troy Bolton is what you want, honey bun. Before you know it, you two will be back together. Trust moi." She patted Gabriella's shoulder. "Let's stop talking about him, though. We have to get ready for that party tonight."
"Here." Chad said, handing a bored looking Troy a beer, sitting on the couch next to him.
Troy held onto the beer, tightly, shaking his knee. His blue eyes glanced across the large, dark, house for her. He rested his beer in between his legs, playing with the hem of his plain black slight v-neck shirt, that matched with his dark washed straight leg jeans and black slip-on Vans. He ran a hand through his messy hair, letting out a sigh. "I'm bored."
"That's because you're not letting yourself have any fun. Dude, this party is hot."
"No, it's not." Troy muttered, taking a sip of the beer. He began to tap his finger against the cold bottle with the current song "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls. His eyes still scanned the house, dismissing his eyes from Alexa who was looking at him longingly from the other side of the living room.
Chad rolled his eyes, mumbling under his breath. "She's here." he said, nodding his head toward the brunette who was currently laughing with Sharpay and Taylor.
Troy looked up to see the brunette, smiling brightly. A simple salmon colored halter blouse, a jean mini-skirt and white flats covered her body. Her hair was left straightened and down, while her make-up was left to a minimal. She looked beautiful, as always. He pursed his lips together to try and hide the small smile that was about to peek.
"Go up and talk to her." Chad shrugged.
"How about you go talk to your girlfriend?"
Chad arched a brow, sitting up. He smirked and began walking toward Taylor who was glancing at him from the corner of his eye. "I will." he said, simply.
"He's right there." Sharpay sang, softly as she noticed Gabriella trying her hardest not to look at Troy who was standing up and shaking hands with one of his teammates.
"Shut up." Gabriella muttered, blushing.
Sharpay chuckled. "Just because you guys doesn't mean, that you two can't be friends. Plus, he looks hot." she said, lazily. She linked arms with the brunette. "Look, Zeke's over there. Perfect."
Gabriella groaned, feeling her friend drag her toward the two tall boys.
"Baby." Sharpay cooed, slipping her arms around his neck. She pecked him on the lips. After the two's "fight" that late Saturday night, they made up the next night, shockingly. "I'm sorry that we're late, I couldn't find my shoe's other pair."
"It's ok, Shar." Zeke smiled, looking between Troy and Gabriella who were looking around, obviously uncomfortable. He pursed his lips together as the next song began to begin. "Wanna dance?" he asked, Sharpay.
Sharpay leaned into him, seeing his wink. They'd done this before. "Only if Troy and Gabriella dance together. I'm sure me and you, don't wanna dance without our friends, right?"
Gabriella blushed madly, beginning to fidget with her fingers.
Zeke smirked. "Don't spoil mine and my girl's fun, kids." he said, staring at the two eighteen year-olds. "We're waiting."
"Uh," Troy stuttered, reminding himself to kill Zeke afterwards.
"The song is about to start." Sharpay said, impatiently, stomping her wedged high-heel on the floor.
Gabriella looked up at Troy, seeing him standing there, nervously. She reached out for his hand, grabbing it. "Let's go." she said, walking the two toward the dance floor, after sending a smirking Sharpay a glare.
Sharpay sighed. "We are too good, babe. I swear, if this was a job, we would be like pros and kinda rich."
"I know. Now, my lady, would you care to join me on the dance floor?" Zeke asked, hearing the blonde's giggle.
"Of course."
Everybody likes to fiesta, Everybody wants to have fun
Bring a couple of friends and I'll betcha,
they'll be hooking up with someone
Gabriella stood, watching Jason and Kelsi beginning to grind in the corner. She looked up to Troy, seeing him brushing the small piece of lent on his shoulder. She pursed her lips together and grabbed Troy's hand, sliding them into her's. "Dance." she said, smiling, gently.
Troy chuckled and nodded, feeling his butterflies come to a hault, as he saw her face light up as she smiled.
'Cause I'm tired of all the boys who don't like to dance,
and if you don't like to dance you don't stand a chance.
So, why you standing in the corner with your arms all folded,
when you know that she's ready now to dance right up on you
Gabriella pressed her body against his, feeling his rock hard abs underneath her shirt, forming into her flat stomach. She slid her arms around his neck, beginning to rock against him, smiling as she heard his breathing become irregular.
Troy gripped her hips, loving the feeling of her warm body against his; something that he'd been missing.
You got the money money
She's got the hottie body
We want to party party
Hook it all up
You picked the song they're playing
She waits, anticipating
All the while the DJ saying, hook it on up
Turning around, Gabriella kept her arms around his neck. She looked into his eyes seeing the lust in them, that were also in her eyes. She smiled, blushing as she felt his rock hard member press against her. "Who knew that you could get so excited in such a short amount of time." she whispered, into his ear, while standing on her tipey-toes.
Troy chuckled. "I can't help it. Look, who I'm dancing with."
If you think you can just stand around you dreaming
It's gonna take a little bit more
To have a chance with me is a good reason
To mix it up out on the dance floor
"I knew they couldn't resist each other." Sharpay said, smiling proudly as she watched Troy and Gabriella dancing erotically against each other.
Troy continued dancing against her, knowing that she was teasing him as she danced up and down on him. He slid his fingers underneath her shirt, feeling the soft skin of her stomach.
Gabriella bit her lip, feeling the sensation of his cold fingers pressed against her stomach. She turned around to him, feeling a sudden spark in her. She licked her lips, before pursing them and slowly leaning in..
Hell no we don't dance
'less we don't stand a chance
Then we pull up our pants
And hit the dance floor baby
If ya want a chance
Better get up and dance
'less ya cant really dance
In that case stay at home
Playas only
Troy leaned in with her, feeling his heart beating faster. He licked his lips, swiftly, feeling the anticipation build up. He slid his arms around her waist. He couldn't help but grin for a short period of time, as her lips captured with his. He had defenitely been missing this.
The two were oblivious, to the wide eyed stares from across the dance floor; Sharpay, Zeke, Taylor, Chad, Ryan, Kelsi, Jason, Caleb and of course Alexa, along with a few other stares as word had of course gotten around that the two had broken up.
You got the money money
She's got the hottie body
We wanna party party
Hook it all up
You picked the song they're playing
She waits, anticipating
All the while the DJ saying hook it on up
The beat is droppin'
There's no stopping
What could happen here tonight
I'll hook you up with my friends
I'll hook you up with her friends
No ones going to feel alone tonight
Gabriella opened her mouth, granting Troy access as his tongue was slowly sliding through his lips. She moaned softly as his tongue slid across the roof of her mouth. She moved her hands to his hair, running her hands through it. She knew this was wrong, considering the two just broke up not even a week ago, but she was craving it so this was definitely satisfying.
You got the money money
She's got the hottie body
We wanna party party
Hook it all up
You picked the song they're playing
She waits, anticipating
All the while the DJ saying hook it on up
You got the money money
She's got the hottie body
We wanna party party
Hook it all up
You picked the song they're playing
She waits, anticipating
All the while the DJ saying hook it on up
Troy broke apart from, Gabriella, both breathing heavily. He rested his forehead against hers. "You..wanna..." he stuttered.
Gabriella nodded, quickly, knowing where he was going. "Yeah."
"Oh boy." Sharpay muttered, watching the two walk out of the loud and dark house.
Gabriella sat up, resting her back against Troy's bed headboard. Her body was covered with the thin material blue sheet, shivering slightly. She ran a hand threw her messy brown hair, looking off into the dark space. She turned to a sleeping Troy, sighing. She knew what the two did was a mistake.
"Mm." Gabriella moaned, arching her back off the bed, as Troy entered another finger into her swiftly, while still sucking on her sensetive spot on her neck. Gabriella threaded her fingers through his damp hair, feeling all the sensations begin to bottle up inside of her.
Troy kissed his way back to her mouth, capturing her lips in a zealous kiss. He smiled into the kiss, as he felt her release onto his fingers, knowing he still had that affect on her.
Gabriella rested her head in her lap, feeling a sudden headache come on. No matter how bad she was craving it, no matter how good it felt, she knew it was wrong, since they just broke up. She sniffled, bringing her head back up, wanting so badly to just take back what the two had done.
Gabriella slid her legs around Troy's waist, moaning as he continued to thrust into her. Her breathing became ragged, as he began to thrust faster and harder at a swift pace. She gripped his shoulders, feeling her orgasm upon. "Troy." she moaned, loudly.
Slipping out of the bed and beginning to slid on her clothes, Gabriella made sure Troy didn't see or hear. She wanted to escape out of the room, as quickly as possible. Sitting back on the bed, a long sigh passed her lips as she remembered that she didn't have a car to get home at 1:25 in the morning. She sat there motionless as she felt the bed move from under her. She crooked her neck back to see Troy settling into the covers, still sleeping like a baby.
Gabriella settled in Troy's laps, straddling him. She kissed him passionately as she heard a moan bubble through his lips as she moved on top of him. Her finger nails ran along his back, whimpering as Troy broke the kiss, and began nibbling on the soft flesh on her neck.
Troy moved his kissed down, laying her back, back against the bed slowly. He took one of her plump nipples into his mouth, hearing her moan. He ran his hands up and down her stomach, nibbling and sucking on the soft flesh.
"Shar?" Gabriella whispered, walking into the bathroom, with her phone in her hand.
Sharpay moaned. "What?" she asked, groggily. She sat up from her bed, running a hand through her blonde hair.
"I need you to come pick me up."
"Huh?" Sharpay asked, still half asleep.
Gabriella peeked her head out of the bathroom, to make sure Troy was still asleep. "I need you to come pick me up..from Troy's house."
"You had sex with him?" Sharpay hissed into the phone, careful not to wake-up a clothed Zeke next to her.
"Please, Shar. Please." Gabriella pleaded.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "You are so lucky that I live just a couple houses down from Troy." she said, sitting up and walking to her closet to pull on some flip-flops. "I'm leaving right now."
Gabriella smiled weakly. "Thank you."
"Yeah, whatever."
Gabriella shut her phone, letting out a sigh. She walked back out of the bathroom, slidding her flats on. She tip-toed toward Troy's nightstand, grabbing the notepad and pen that rested there. Doing the best she can through the dark night, she scibbed down on the piece of paper, hearing his soft snore.
"Gabs..you..almost.." Troy stuttered, through the thrust he was bestowing upon Gabriella.
Gabriella nodded, breathlessly. She arched her back, moaning loudly. "Oh god." she cried, gripping his shoulders tightly. She fell back onto the bed, tiredly, as she felt herself release.
Troy rolled off of her panting, heavily. He slid off the condom, throwing it on the garbage can that was next to his bed. A silence took over the bedroom, except for the heavy pants that were coming from both. Shock waves running through them as neither could believe what just happened.
Gabriella stuck the sticky note onto Troy's headboard, pursing her lips together, as she was careful not to wake him. She looked down at him, leaning down and pressing her lips against Troy's cheek. She smiled weakly, pulling back. She began to walk out of the bedroom, as she felt her phone begin to vibrate; Sharpay. She shut the door behind her quietly, before walking down the stairs, quickly.
Sharpay tapped her manicured nails on her cars, waiting for the brunette. She smirked as she saw Gabriella walk quickly, toward the car, with her head hanging low. "Yes, Montez, you should be ashamed." she said, as she slid into the car. "I can't believe you had sex with him."
"It was spure of the moment."
"My ass it was. So can I ask, is it better when you're craving it or when you guys actually are together?" Sharpay asked, driving away from the Bolton residence.
Gabriella let out a chuckle, pulling her hair into a ponytail. "I don't know, Shar."
Sharpay nodded. "You two sleeping together, is gonna come and bite you in the ass, hun."
"I know. Why do you think I left when I wanted to?"
"Because you didn't wanna face Troy Bolton when it comes to actual morning."
Gabriella sighed, shaking her head.
"Troy, wake up! You have school." Bethany, his mom called out, knocking on the boy's door.
Troy sighed, moving around in his bed. His eyes scanned the spot where Gabriella laid last night as he laid there silently.
Bethany rolled her eyes as there was no answer. "Troy, school starts in thirty minutes." she said, continuing to knock on the door.
"I'm up!" Troy yelled standing up and looking at the spot where Gabriella laid one last time. While stretching, his blue eyes were caught by the bright yellow sticky note that was hanging by a thread on his headboard. He reached out for it, his eyes widening as he began to read the neat cursive.
-I'm sorry about everything, and I hope this doesn't change things between us. It was fun, but it can't happen again. Once again, I'm sorry. x Gabriella.
Troy shook his head, crumbling the piece of paper and throwing it across the room. He groaned and fell back onto his bed.
"If you're not up in five minutes." Bethany warned, walking away from the door.
