NOTE: I know in the first chapter I referred to Lexi May Montez as Tabitha as well. The characters name is going to be officially Tabitha May Montez.

Since it's the summer. This takes place on a Friday, and its nearing the end of the summer. It's the second last Friday of August and school starts the first Monday of September.

Also in Alberta, Canada the school system is slightly different. Elementary school is Kindergarten-Gr.6, Junior High is Gr7-9, and High School is Gr10-12.

Chapter 3

Sharpay's POV

Yes! My plan is working. I asked Taylor T or D first and Troy and Gabi both look relieved. They think we aren't going to pick on them today. Hahahaa they have no idea how wrong they are.

"Ok, I pick Dare." Taylor chose as according to plan.

"I dare you to…" I paused to pretend to think. We are giving each other small truths or dares to start and then going to hit Troy with the BIG truth or dare because we can change it around so the same thing will happen. "… Kiss Chad for 5 seconds."

"Ok east enough." Taylor kissed Chad for 5 seconds, which is normal cause that is usually how long they kiss for. "Now… Zeke truth or dare?" Taylor asked Zeke. He went along with plan and chose truth where Taylor asked him what he loved most about me. Zeke replied honestly and replied with my hair because it's always so soft, then continued on.

We made sure to try and got to Troy, Gabi and Chad the least because they don't know the plan.

Troy's POV

As we are playing truth or dare it seems different. All of the truths are easy answers and the dares are easy dos. Brie, Chad and I though haven't been asked much, which is weird, usually Brie and I get picked on a lot.

The thing that is the weirdest is whenever Brie or I get picked on, Chad seems to tense up. I feel like they all have a plan for tonight, but I'm not so sure Chad is a part of it cause he seems uncomfortable tonight.

"Troy." I hear, which snaps me out of my thoughts. I look up and see Ryan look at me with a smirk on his face. Uh- oh.

"Yea..." I reply hesitantly I have a feeling this is going to be bad. I start to tense up and Gabi is trying to calm me down by rubbing my arm but it isn't really working cause I know this is going to be bad. Ryan asks me again T or D. "umm... Dare." I reply hesitantly I don't know what is about to happen and to be honest I don't want to know.

"Fine then… I dare you to…" he pauses and smirks even wider. I gulp, I've never been this never for a dare ever before. I look at Chad and he looks just as tense as I do. This can't be good. "… Tell Gabs how you really feel because we all know it's more than she knows."

Well this is it. I guess I have to tell her now. "Ok… well." I stop. "I can't." I whisper before pushing Brie off me and running out of my own house.

"TROY!" I hear Chad scream after me, but I don't listen I just slam the door shut and keep running. Chad or Gabriella will find me. I'm kind of hoping it to be Gabriella, but I also don't want it to be Gabriella.

Gabriella POV (starts as Troy says "I can't.")

"I can't." I hear Troy whisper as he pushes me off his lap and runs for the door.

"TROY!" I hear Chad yell after him but I know troy won't stop as I hear the door slam shut. "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!" Chad yells at Shar. It actually scares me. Chad has never raised his voice before; he is always so soft and kind.

"WHAT DID I DO?!" She retorts.

"I TOLD YOU THAT THIS WOULDN'T END WELL!" Chad yells.

'Wait! What wouldn't end well? I'm so confused' I thought. As everyone is watching Chad and Shar fight nobody notices me slip away and quietly out the front door. If I know Troy and I know I do, I know he went to Carroll [that's the high school they go to (full name is Bishop Carroll)].

As I get to Carroll, I walk in the front doors and walk straight into the gym. There is Troy dribbling the ball, and then shooting and missing his 3, which I know he only does when he is mad or upset. I watch him for a bit and watch. Finally, I know he is going to stop because he has thrown the ball at the wall and sat on the floor.

"You ok Cardinal?" (Carroll is the home of the Cardinal's and Troy will probably be captain next year on the senior team so I call him Cardinal or Cardy.) Troy slowly looks up and I smile softly at him as I walk up to him.

"I don't know." He replies in a barely audible tone. "I don't think so though."

"Come here." I pat my lap as I sit on the floor beside him. He lays his head in my lap and that's when I notice that there are tears in his eyes. "It's going to be alright Troy." I tell him and that's when he finally breaks and starts crying in my lap. I softly stroke his face with one hand and run my other one through his hair because I know it calms him down.

After a couple minutes he calms down and looks at me. "Do you want to tell me what caused you to run out at your house?" I ask softly. He nods, stands up grabs my hand and walks towards the bleachers.

He takes a deep breath and starts talking. "Before I start, you have to promise me you will let me finish." I nod. "Ok well the truth is for the longest time, since about the start of grade 8, I've had a crush on you…" he pauses and I smile encouragingly at him. "At first I thought it was just my hormones going crazy from puberty and all but, after a while, I realized it wasn't." he stopped and took a breath before continuing. "By the end of the second month of grade 8, I realized that it wasn't just a crush. I really liked you. As we grew up, the feelings have gotten stronger and after hearing myself say all this out loud to you I know that I- I'm." he stops for a second before talking really fast "Iminlovewithyou."

"Troy you need to say that again but slowy. I can't understand you." I look straight into his eyes and he looks scared so I give him the more encouraging look I can.

Troy's POV

Well here goes nothing. I look away briefly and take a massive deep breath. 'you can do this Bolton!' I tell myself before looking back into her eyes.

"I love you, and not just like a friend. I'm in love with you." I say. She looks really shocked and almost scared. I knew this was a bad idea. Ugh! Why am I so stupid! "You know what never mind, I'l-"

"No." she cuts me off sharly. "I'm in love with you too." She says shyly before looking down and blushing.

I smile softly to myself before I look at Brie. I lift up her chin to get her too look me in the eyes. "I love you so much." I say softly.

"I love you too." She says. We both smile and I lean in slowly closing my eyes and kissing her softly on the lips. She quickly starts to kiss me back and its perfect. I feel so warm kissing her. There are fireworks going off in my head and as I pull back and look into her eyes, I know she feels the same. I give her another peck on the lips before asking the most important question of them all.

"Will you be my girlfriend Brie?" She smiles widely and nods happily. She leans in for another kiss and not a second after we hear someone clear their throat.

We both look to the door to see..?

Who did Troy and Gabriella see? What do you think they are going to do about there new found relationship? Will they tell the gang?
