12:05 in the afternoon...
"Yeah! It's lunch time!" one student began yelling.
Gabriella walked in the cafeteria to buy some lunch for herself. The twins had just arrived a few minutes ago and they're in the faculty. "One new york deli platter please." Gabriella said and the waitress handed her one platter. Gabriella handed her payment and turned around to see Mrs. Brookstone in front of all the students to announce the arrive of Troy Bolton. Gabriella stood there in respect.
The school began chattering again about something Gabriella couldn't here. "This is Mr. Troy Bolton, he'll be donating books and help here in our school for somethings we usually needed." Mrs. Brookstone said, as the students continued on chattering. "So, behave and keep hiding you horns down from your heads." Mrs. Brookstone said and one students raised a hand. "Yes... Miss?"
"Stefanie Ford." The girl introduced.
"Okay, Ms. Ford. What's your question?" Mrs. Brookstone asked.
"We're all dying to know why Mr. Bolton called Ms. Montez in her first name. Is there any relationship between them?" The girl asked and Mrs. Brookstone and Gabriella's eyes widened. Troy smiled at this question. So much embarrassment. "You shouldn't asking these personal questions." Mrs. Brookstone asked, but Troy interrupted.
"I'll answer it." Troy said with made Gabriella to groan. She decided to walk away to start eating her lunch. The students waited for an answer while Gabriella continued walking out. "She's my... girlfriend." Troy announce. Gabriella stood in surprise. They're over right? All over... Nothing is between them anymore. The students gasped as they heard it. Gabriella turned around and looked at him seriously.
"Bring it back, Troy." Gabriella ordered. All eyes turned to her. Troy smiled at her, his hand in his pockets. "Why? We're not over right? I mean, I was just 'forced' to break up with you because of your father." Troy explained.
"But you still shouldn't have. You left me alone while I'm pregnant? And oh, not just pregnant! Pregnant with twins!" Gabriella spat back.
"And so, you're saying that the kids I saw last night when I bring you to your house are MY kid?" Troy asked, cockily.
"I'm not saying that but... Ugh! You're so... delirious!" Gabriella said, "You still left me."
"I didn't leave, why don't you get it?" Troy snapped.
"Yeah, your right... I totally don't understand why did you leave me." Gabriella spat back, "You really are the worst thing that happened in my life! Being my bodyguard is the worst memory!" Gabriella said.
"Then, why do blush when I used to call you sexy and beautiful? Why do you cried when I kissed you last night? Why do I feel that you missed me so much?" Troy asked. Gabriella was speechless and looked around. She turned to him again and gave him a painful slap. "Don't you dare to get near to me again." Gabriella said, tears falling from her eyes. She ran out of the cafeteria, leaving all of the people there hanging.
In the faculty room...
Gabriella opened the door and walked to her desk where the twins where drawing something in the paper. "Hey, mommy. Where's you food?" Emi asked looking back at Gabriella. Gabriella hiding-ly wiped a tear strained in her cheeks and smiled at Emi. "No more, deli platter available. Maybe I'll just take you two out." Gabriella suggested causing the two to squeal excitedly.
"We heard what happened in the cafeteria." One teacher named Sarah, said. Gabriella looked up to see that Sarah and another woman named, Faith. "Uh, Forget about it. It's just a little misunderstanding." Gabriella said, looking down at her twins who continued their drawings. "I see that..." Sarah said, nodding her head as if compliment disagreement.
"Just believe me. Nothing to tell about him because we are not... uh, you know." Gabriella trailed off as she can't describe herself, "It was all a past." She added.
"So, you two did have a past." Faith blurted.
"What? I didn't said that." Gabriella said.
"Yeah I know you didn't but that was you point." Before Gabriella could speak again, the faculty door opened creating a creaking sound. "Uh, is Miss Montez here?" The principal's secretary asked from the door. Gabriella stood up in answer and all eyes turned to her. "Yes?" Gabriella asked, nervously. Muscles tightening, stomach flipping and mind was blown in nervousness. "Uh, the Mrs. Brookstone wanted to talk to you." the secretary said and left the room. Her heart beats faster. It was so fast. Why was it all about... again?
"Uh, can you look after them? I'll be right back in a minute." Gabriella said and kissed the twins' heads. "Mommy's gonna be back in a minute, okay?" Gabriella added and the two girls nodded their head slightly. She sighed and looked at the two teacher and flashed a little smile in her lips. She walked out of the room and down the halfway empty corridor. She sighed heavily as she heard rumors about her and Troy or the so called businessman.
She reached for the Principal's office and sighed heavily. She twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open. She entered the air conditioned room that was nearly a lot alike to Antarctica for its coolness. She looked around to see him sitting in the single cushion couch, his arms in the arm desk and sitting like the way he always did before. She breathed out again and looked over the woman sitting in front of the desk, Mrs. Brookstone.
"U, I heard you wanted to see me?" Gabriella asked, unsurely (I don't think that's a word. But consider.) what to say. Mrs. Brookstone raised her thin brown eyebrows and said, "I don't to see you... I needed to see you. There is a bid difference, you know that?" Mrs. Brookstone said causing Gabriella to groaned, "Now, sit." she added and Gabriella sat on the seat opposite to the man she hated the most, or did she hate him?
"According to the happenings in the cafeteria... I want you to tell me what is the relationship between you and Mr. Bolton." Mr. Brookstone said causing Gabriella to widen her eyes and whimper. Troy was expecting this but she wasn't. Not at all. "If you don't mind, Mrs. Brookstone, but that's quite personal." Gabriella excused, trying not to be rude.
"Uh, the former sarcastic President's daughter was afraid of spilling the truth behind us?" Troy asked. He still hadn't change his ways. Being arrogant is his nature.
"Shut up." Gabriella snapped at him with her famous death glare that she mostly gives to Troy Bolton.
"Well, we are in one faculty here." Mrs. Brookstone said, "You didn't even put up a little background on your real life." Gabriella can't bring the past back. Everything will turn out full speed ahead again. And she's tired of it. She hated it. "I'm still not telling you about my past. It's private." Gabriella said and got up in her seat. "The choice is your, Miss Montez but please remember... I'm still giving you one chance to approve. Just approach me." Mrs. Brookstone answered.
With that, Gabriella left the room, small drops of tears were falling in her eyes. She sniffled a little and walked up to the faculty room. She wiped the tears again and entered the room. She walked to her desk and looked at her twins. The twins were her only inspiration through out her life. "Maggie and Emi, we'll be going home now. I guess I'll just make your favorite dish for lunch." Gabriella said and fixed her things.
"Okay," the kids said in their softest tone as the keep their drawings in their bags. Gabriella sighed as she notice- though the twins weren't telling, she still know they looked for a loving father- how they are desperately wanting a father. "Let's go." Gabriella said and the three girls left the room.
All in thought, Gabriella was depressed fr expecting that the Charity Auction would be great as it was every year. But that time, it was different. A lot different. She hated to remember it and yet, she don't like to admit that she STILL love him, in any way he had hurt her. He was still important to her. She still love him. She missed his kisses, his hugs and yet, his touch. It was so addictive. Tickle flow through her skin whenever he kiss, hug and touch her everywhere. Everywhere.
Like it? Review please. I need it all. Well, please give my reactions about the one shot. I know I suck because it was my first one shot through out the months I have been here on fanfiction but, please, understand my grammatical and spelling errors for English is not my first language. I'm a Filipino, half Chinese who don't understand Mandarin at all. Now, shared a little background of mine? Might be too long. Now, please still don't forget the reviews. It's important. Much love.
