Chapter 12

Sharpay's POV

I woke up this morning and went through my soon to be my daily routine. Ugh! I hate having to wake up early for school. After a little over and hour I was ready to go. I hoped into Ryan and I's new car that we just got recently since we turned 16 a few months ago.

20 minutes later

I finally got to school and I was actually kind of excited. I hadn't seen all my friends since the sleepover. I've seen Zeke but that's about it. I rounded the corner to get to my TA and stopped instantly. I saw Troy and Gabs standing by their lockers. Slowly both of them leaned in and kissed. Wait, KISSED?! I look back over and take a double take of the scene in front of me.

I instantly let out a scream. The two of them instantly broke apart and looked in my direction. How could they not tell me? I'm one of their best friends! Aren't I? I mean I don't think they would still be mad about the sleepover would they? No, they must be over it.

I walk over and go to pull Gabs into a hug but she backs away from me and into Troy's arms. That's weird. "Gabs?" no reply; she just buries her head into Troy's chest as he rubs her back whispering something into her ear. "Gabs, what's wrong?" I ask. Troy snaps his head up at my question.

"What's wrong?" Troy asks me back. "You should know very well why she isn't talking to you." I look at him shocked.

"Gabs? Are you still mad at me about the sleepover?" I ask her softly. She looks at me for the first time since I got here and I can see tears in her eyes, her cheeks slightly red from tears. She just nods before running into our TA.

"I can't believe she's still mad about that." I mutter forgetting Troy was still standing there.

"YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT?" He exclaims. A few heads turn towards us. Troy calms down a bit. "Of course she is still mad at you, frankly I am too. You went behind her back big time after she has repeatedly asked you not to. You haven't even tried to talk to her since it happened. She is upset that you went behind her back. She doesn't trust you anymore. Then to top it all off she lost one of her BEST friends." He emphasizes the best. The whole time he looked me in the eye. All I saw in his eyes were anger and concern. The anger to me and I'm assuming he is concerned as to how Gabs is after she ran off.

I didn't have anything to say. After a few seconds he sighs and walks into our TA.

Troy's POV

After I ranted everything to Sharpay, I went into our TA. The whole time I was talking to Sharpay I was worried about Brie. She was worried about running into Sharpay.

I walked into TA and saw Brie clinging onto Chad sobbing. He was always like a big brother to her. Slowly I walk over sighing. "Come here baby girl." I say softly as I get closer to her. She moves out of Chads arms and into my as fast as she can. "It's ok sweetie, everything will be ok." I look up and Chad and he looks over and mouths 'what's wrong.' I simply mouth back 'Sharpay' and he seems to figure it out.

I sit there with Brie in my arms for a while before her sister's walk in laughing, my brothers trailing behind. I don't think any of them know anything about the sleepover so this should be interesting. Almost immediately after getting sight of their sister both Rachel and Lexi rush over to her side.

Rachel's POV

Senior year. I'm so excited. The best part is I get to do it with my boyfriend, sister and pretty much, adopted brother. The four of us walked around the school for a bit when we first got there, then headed towards TA. We walk in laughing at a joke that James made, but I immediately stop when I catch a look at Gabi crying in Troy's arms. I nudge Lexi and she looks towards me. I point over towards Troy and Gabi, she looks than looks at me, we have a mental conversation before both leaving James and Nathan to see what's wrong with our sister.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask. Gabi lifts her head up recognizing my voice. Her cheeks are tear stained; her eyes are red and puffy.

"Hun. What's wrong?" Lexi asks from beside me. She just shakes her head and buries in back into the crook of Troy's neck. He just continues to rub her back.

"Troy. What happened?" I ask in the most serious voice I have.

He sighs. "Something happened between Gabi and a friend. That friend hasn't apologized yet, but acted like nothing was wrong this morning and it has led us here." He says giving very little detail to the situation.

"What friend?" What happened between them?" We start bombarding him with questions.

"Shut up!" He finally says. ''I told all that I'm going to tell you. The rest you will have to find out from Gabi but now isn't a good time to do that." He says. I guess that's reasonable.

"Fine." Lexi says as she walks away. I sigh. "Gabi. I'm not mad at you, neither is Lexi we're just worried. Can we talk about this at home?" I ask her. She lifts her head up, briefly nodding before putting her head back down.

"I'll see you later." I say softly before walking over to Nathan. I sit with him trying to figure out whom Gabi is fighting with. It can't be Taylor cause she is over with Troy, Gabi and Chad. Kelsi? No, they were hanging out the other day. Martha? No, she wouldn't be this upset. Is it one of the guys? Probably not. Hmmm I think into a person in pink walks in with a happy face on but I can see the sadness in her eyes. She looks to Gabi and Troy and I see Troy shoot her a cold glance.

IT'S SHARPAY! My mind screams at me. I wonder what happened. They usually only have small 5 minute fights. This must be bad. The rest of my day is spent on trying to figure out what happened.

Troy's POV

A few minutes after her sister's walk away. I finally get Brie to calm down and stop crying. Chad and Taylor came over and start talking with us. Brie is quiet, so I know she is still upset. To be honest thou, I am too. Sharpay walked in and looked over towards us with a happy face on, I just look at her with a cold expression and then get back into my conversation.

"Are you gonna play volleyball this year Gabster?" Chad asks. She just nods her head against my chest. "Well, I know you're gonna do awesome and make senior." Chad states.

"Thanks," She mumbles. I sigh; I don't know how to fix this right now. I can't make Sharpay apologize, she needs to do that on her own but I hate seeing Brie so down.

The rest of the day with Brie went just like that. I only got her too smile three times; I counted. I always make her smile more than that. The drive home I sit in the back of my brother's car thinking of a plan. I'VE GOT IT!

Text: Troy/Gabi

Hi, can you come over today?

If I want to do this plan I have to say no but I don't want to hurt her. I guess when the plan follows through it will be ok thou.

I can't. I'm sorry baby :( My mom needs my help with something.

Now put the plan into action.
