Chapter 4

The next day at school was tough. Gabriella had a really tough time trying to cover her bruise. Sharpay had attacked her with her concealer. Everyone was giving her strange looks. I looked at them confused. What was going on?

" Hey, Did you hear?" Kelsi Came up to her during lunch. I looked at her shewas out of breath. I guess she was running. I was to distracted to do anything anymore.

" No" I answered simply.

Kelsi was confused. What happened to the girl who would go on and on talking about random things was no giving her simple answers. She looked at gabriella and finally noticed her eyes were bloodstained, it looked like she was crying all night.

" Are you ok?" Kelsi asked sweetly. Gabriella smiled and nodded. Kelsi was always the sweet one. She could never be evil or mean. And she could never lie. I laughed in my head.

" What did you hear? I have to go to rehearsals so can you please hurry up?" She asked curiously. It couldn't be worse than what happened to her.

Kelsi looked at her and wondered if she should tell her or not.

" Umm... Gabi.. umm.. you... Uhhh,, Never mind. Here." She said handing her the paper. Gabriella looked at the paper and stared at it untill she realised what it was. Her eyes widened.

"WHAT!" She screamed. She screamed loud enough that everyone in the lunch room can hear her. Everyone turned to her wondering what happened. Chad, Sharpay and Taylor came up to her.

" What, Whats Wrong? Are you Ok Gabs?" Chad asked frantically. Gabriella just showed him her paper. ANd put her hands in her hair frustratingly. How could They do this? This was the only thing That was distracting her and keeping her away from all this.

" What! They can't do this! This is so wrong?" Chad said also getting mad.

" What? Whats happening?" Sharpay asked. Chad put the paper on her face. Sharpay groaned.

" DANFORTH." SHe hissed. Chad rolled his eyes. Sharpay looked at the paper with Taylor looking over her.

"RYAN!" She screamed.

Everyone covered their ears. Troy who was looking at his phone while walking towards the cafeteria heard the scream and saw Ryan Right in front of him. He had a terrified look on his face. They both looked at each other and ran.

" What! What hapened!" Ryan said coming in the cafeteria with a fire extiguisher.

" Where's the Fire?" Troy asked with another fire Extiguisher. Everyone looked at them with their mouths open. They both ran around the cafeteria looking for the fire, without noticing that everyone was staring right at them. It took them a couple of minutes to realize whats going on. Once they did they both dropped their fire extinguishers and turned red.

" OH." They said. Gabriella couldn't help but giggle at them. Everyone turned and looked at her. Gabriella blushed and put her head down.

" Sorry." She muttered.

Chad looked at the two dickheads. How stupid could they be? Even He was not the stupid.

" Idiots." He chuckled. Troy and Ryan Glared at him.

" Ryan, Did you read this?" Sharpay asked. Giving him the paper. Ryan took it from her. He read it and his reaction was also the same as Them. Troy looked at them confused and took the paper from them. He looked at it and his heart sank. They can't close the school. This is where it all started. He spent 4 years at this school. This is where he had the best times of his life with his friends and Gabriella. This is where they met. No, He won't let this happen.

" Troy Did your dad know about this?" Chad asked. Troy looked at him. His father would have told him if he knew. He wouldn't keep such a big thing from him. But, then again he miight of not told me thinking of the best for me. I sighed.

" I Don't know, Man. I don't know." This was so overwhelming he sat down. He put his head on the table.

Gabriella just stood there. Her whole life was falling apart. She started to feel a bit dizzy, so she sat down next to troy.

" I can't Believe this. East High is closing." Gabriella said puting her hand by her mouth.

Troy looked up. He knew what she was going through. And at this moment nothing mattered. Their fights, breakup, nothing. Right now they were just Troy and Gabriella. He put his hand on her shoulder and smiled at him.

Gabriella looked at him. She was also thinking the same thing. Nothing mattered right now. Right now what they needed to do was save East High, For them and for more to come. She smiled back at him.

" We need to do something Troy. We need to save this school. It has so many Memories. Good and Bad." She chuckled. As she remembered the good times with all her friends and Troy. The time when they all sneaked out of Darbus's homeroom almost getting caught because of Kelsi's incapability of lying.

Troy looked at her and nodded. He was also thinking of the good memories.

" Bad Memries not so much. But, We do need to do something. Right Guys?" He asked looking at everyone else.

Everyone was shocked. They couldn't beleive spoke first.

" Your right, Hoopz. Who's with us?" He asked. Nobody moved. Sharpay Got up.

" Im With you guys." She said teary eyed. Then another person stood up.

" Im in." He said raising his hand. Someone else joined.

" Me too." Then someone else, Another person. Soon Everyone was on our side.

Troy and Chad smirked.

" What team?" Chad yelled, starting his famous chant.

" Wildcats." Everyone joined.

" WHAT TEAM?" Chad said Louder Raising his fist in the air.

" WILDCATS, GET'CHA HEAD IN THE GAME!" Everyone screamed and walked out the cafeteria.

The 8 Best friends were leading the way out with the rest of the crowd. They seemed like an army going for a mission. But, They were on a mission. A mission To save East High.

Troy and Gabriella walked side by side. Both letting go of their stubborness and finally moving on. Troy put his left hand out and his left pinkie reached for Gabriella's.

Gabriella felt the familiar sparks going off in her body. She looked down and saw Troy trying to hold her hand. She entwined their hand together and looked up at him and smiled.
