Chapter 2: Basketball Players
Their first week had passed at UCLA and the friends were all loving everything about it. Well, everything except for one thing: Carl Griscom. He seemed to be everywhere at once. And what's more, he was at the basketball tryouts. UCLA recruited only five players for this season, Troy, Chad, Zeke, Jason, and a boy from New York, Landon. They would join the team regardless, which was losing 7 good seniors, all who were going on to play pro ball. The other two spots were up for grabs at tryouts. It was well known, that even though the other people from the team last year had to tryout, they wouldn't be cut. As Troy, Zeke, Jason, and Chad watched the tryouts, they prayed that Carl wouldn't make it.
"I swear if he makes it I don't know what I'll do." Chad whined
"He's really creepy." Zeke commented
"The girls have nicknamed him c2." Troy said, at their confused looks he elaborated, "Creepy Carl." They all laughed and agreed that it was completely true.
"Why don't you like Carl?" Landon asked, suddenly making the guys aware that he had been sitting there the entire time.
"He's basically following Briella around." Jason explained
"Who's Briella?" Landon asked
"Gabriella, my girlfriend." Troy told him, as a smile crept onto his handsome face.
Landon nodded his understanding and asked, "How long have you guys been dating?"
"5 months on the 25th." Troy smiled proudly.
"All you guys have girlfriends?" Landon questioned
"Yup, and we've all been dating about that long." Zeke answered
"Wow, do they go here?" Landon's curiosity was becoming a bit annoying to the guys.
"Yes, they do." Chad shortly answered him. Landon was about to ask another question before the coach yelled,
"Okay hit the showers guys. The team list will be posted by 4 today!" He then jogged over to a senior and shook his hand as all the other seniors began crowding around him.
"Guess he's the new captain." Troy commented as Carl walked by and winked.
"Creepy." Zeke and Chad said at the same time.
"I want a doughnut." Jason said randomly and his friends all groaned.
Suddenly a series of wolf-whistles erupted in the gym as four girls entered the through the big doors.
"Wow, they're really hot." Landon commented, getting glares from the four other guys.
"Hey, baby. Wanna date?" One of the players ran over to Sharpay who simply smirked at him in an "as if" way.
"Aww come on dollface, don't be like that." One of the pleaded with Gabby, who just kept her eyes locked with Troy's.
"You gotta want this!" A tall guy ask Taylor, who just gave him a disgusted face.
"Come on sweetheart, just one date?" Another one begged Kelsi, who rolled her eyes as she made her way over to Jason.
"Hey handsome!" Gabby called from across the gym.
Troy smiled and made his way over to Gabby. "Hey gorgeous!" He leaned down and kissed her passionately.
"Ohh, what did I do to deserve that?" She asked with a smile
"I don't know Ella." Troy smirked.
"Hey Shar." Zeke greeted his girlfriend with a sweet kiss.
"Hey Baby. Ready to go?" She asked
"Hell yes." She giggled at his response.
"Hey Tay Tay." Chad jogged over to Taylor.
"Hey Chad, let's get out of here." She replied giving him a chaste kiss. Chad nodded his agreement and led the way out of the gym.
"Kels!" Jason greeted his ever-patient girlfriend with a hug and a kiss.
"Hey Jason. How were tryouts?" She asked as she intertwined their hands.
"Good." He replied taking her books for her.
Troy collected Gabby's stuff from her arms, and wrapped his arm protectively around her waist. "See you guys at practice tomorrow." He called out to the dumfounded guys in the gym. Gabby just gave a little wave as she and Troy left the gym, followed by their friends.
AN: Okay, so this was really just a filler chapter, but it's an update at least. I thought it was sweet even though there's no drama. Review please!
