Love's spelled D.I.S.A.S.T.R.E.R 1x08

:D ready for next chapter?

Troy got off of Gabriella and answered the phone. Who the hell was calling here? None of them has given anyone their new phone number.

"Hello, Bolton- Montez house?" he said and smirked at Gabriella who rolled her eyes at that lame sentence.

"Hey! It's Shane! Is everything alright?" he asked.

Troy rolled his eyes. "Yes, why?"

"I heard someone screaming from your apartment" Shane said concerned.

Troy rolled his eyes again "Yes, I almost killed Gabriella, why?" he said sarcastically

"Why?" Shane asked shocked.

"Oh come on dude! Are you really that stupid or are you just pretending?" Troy asked annoyed. "She screams really loud when I tickle her"

"Well it really sounded like you we-"

"Goodbye Shane" he didn't let him finish and hung up.

Gabriella looked at him confused. "What was that all about?"

"Your boyfriend was worried that I may of killed you" Troy said and flopped on the bed next to Gabriella.

"Boyfriend?"

"Shane!" he sighed. "God damn it, he's so annoying. I new I should've kicked him out when I could"

Gabriella pushed herself up with her elbow and looked down at Troy "Calm down, Troy… he was just worried… I do scream like if I was about to get killed. Who wouldn't freak out?"

Troy closed his eyes and sighed. Why did Shane bother him so much?

Gabriella passed her hand through Troy's hair and kissed his cheek. It confused her why he hated him so much, well… acted like he hated him so much. They just met him! Well, it didn't matter. It wasn't like she was going to start dating Shane or something! In that case it would really worry her that her best friend didn't like her boyfriend…

** the next day**

The doorbell rang and Troy stood up annoyed. Yup! Today was the stupid dinner where Gabriella invited stupid Shane and his roommate for dinner.

"Hey man!" Shane smiled and shook Troy's hand.

"Hey Shane!" he faked a smile. "Please come in!"

"Thank you!" he said. "This is my roommate, Amanda!"

Troy's eyes opened wide as soon as he saw Amanda.

"Oh no… Gabriella's going to be very pissed about this!" Troy thought and faked another smile "Hey Amanda! Please come in!"

"Thank you, Troy!" she smiled really big and she hugged Troy randomly.

Troy looked at Shane and he smiled "She likes hugging people!"

"No, really?" Troy replied as he gently pushed Amanda off him.

"Sorry!" she smiled apologetically.

"No, don't worry…." He smiled politely. "Let me go check on Gabriella, she's taking too long! Please sit down, I'll be right back" He smiled again and ran off.

He burst into the room without even knocking to find Gabriella in her underwear…again.

"TROY!" she complained as she covered herself with her towel.

"Sorry, sorry!" he said, not caring if Gabriella was half naked. "Your boyfriend's arrived and guess who his roommate is!"

"Who?" she asked as she tightened the grip on her towel.

Troy rolled his eyes "Gabs I've seen you totally naked before, quit the crap!"

Gabriella sighed and dropped the towel while she grabbed her jeans and began putting them on. He was right… plus… he's her best friend, she trusts him, it's not like he'll do something, right?

"Are you going to tell me who his roommate is?" she asked.

"Your best friend!" he said sarcastically as he sat down next to her. "Hey is that a new bra?"

"Troy!"

"Sorry, sorry!" he said.

"My best friend?" she asked as she stood up and put her top on.

"Mrs. Amanda!" Troy said with a British accent.

"WHAT?"

"You heard me!"

"No!" she groaned and flopped on the bed next to Troy.

"I can say that you're sick!" he said with a little bit of hope in his voice. He wasn't thrilled that Shane was here, either.

"No!" Gabriella stood up and turned to Troy. "That wouldn't be nice… now let's go!"

"But… but… BUT!" he whined.

"Shut up and get your ass out while I finish doing my make up!"

"I'd rather stay and have a quickie" Troy smirked at her.

"TROY!"

"FINE, FINE! I'M GOING!" Troy whined and went out of her room.

He walked back into the living room to see both Shane and Amanda staring at the pictures over the electric chimney. Troy cleared his throat.

Both turned around and smiled.

"Nice pictures!" Amanda said. "How long have you known each other?"

"Since Freshman year" he smiled at the thought of it.

"Oh! That's nice!" she smiled. "Shane and I have known each other since… last year" she giggled.

Troy faked a smile "Cool. Please sit down; do you want something to drink?"

"Do you have coke?" Shane asked.

"Sure! Anything for you, Amanda?"

"Just water!" she smiled really big at him and somehow Troy smiled back at her naturally.

"Okay, be right back!"

Troy walked into the kitchen and took out 2 beers from the fridge; he poured one glass of coke and poured another glass of water. He walked back into the living room and handed Amanda her glass of water and then handed the glass of coke to Shane. He went back into the kitchen for the 2 beers and then went back to the living room.

He sat down and sighed. "So… Amanda, what is that you're studying?" Troy tried making conversation, so Gabriella wouldn't kill him for being 'impolite'.

"Oh! I'm studying Communication" she smiled totally interested in Troy. "You?"

"Future Dr. Bolton!" he grinned at her.

"Wow!" she smiled and sat closer to him. "In that case, I'll know I'll be in safe hands if I get in an accident"

Troy laughed "You've got it!" he smiled.

3 minutes later Gabriella walked into the living room.

"I'm so sorry guys… I couldn't find my other shoe and I had to put another pair!"

"You mean this shoe?" Troy smirked as he took out a shoe from below the couch.

"Yes! That shoe! TROY!" She grabbed the shoe from Troy's hand and smacked him on the head with it.

"OW!" he complained and rubbed his head. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

Shane and Amanda laughed.

Gabriella glared at him "For walking into me half naked and for stealing my shoe!"

Troy smirked "Sorry, Twinkie"

Gabriella rolled her eyes and sat down next to him "Just shut up… so how are you guys?" she faked a smile.

"We're fine" Shane smiled. "Now that you just arrived to lighten us up with your incredible beauty" he smirked.

"Uhmm… t-thanks" Gabriella blushed and looked down. "Oh! You got me a beer! Thanks Winnie!" she kissed Troy's cheek.

"No problem Twinkie" he smiled at her.

They talked for another while. Amanda flirting with Troy and Shane doing the same with Gabriella; and Troyella… couldn't be in a more awkward, annoying, jealous situation.

Luckily the dinner went by quickly. Gabriella had prepared her famous 3 cheese pasta and everyone loved it.

Once Shane and Amanda were out of their apartment, Troy and Gabriella sighed relieved.

"Thought it would never end!" Troy groaned.

"Remind me to never invite them for dinner again!" Gabriella groaned too.

"Done!" Troy put his arm around Gabriella's shoulder and they walked into Troy's room. Both laid over his bed and sighed.

**Two weeks later**

"Hey Gabriella!" A certain annoying person yelled after her. Seriously didn't she get that Gabriella hated her?

"What's up, Amanda?" she faked a smile.

"Guess who am I planning on asking out?" she jumped happily next to her.

"For the last time Amanda, he won't say yes!" Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Why not?" she asked confused.

"I've told you many times, he has a girlfriend waiting for him at home" Gabriella lied and rolled her eyes. She has told her that so many times that it seemed real to her now.

"Really?" She asked "Because I asked him yesterday and he responded me with 'what girlfriend?'" she raised her eyebrows at Gabriella.

"Stupid Troy!" Gabriella thought.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Amanda asked.

Gabriella sighed. "Okay fine! He doesn't have a girlfriend…"

"No shit Sherlock!" Amanda exclaimed sarcastically and Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Don't say this to him… but… my friend Sharpay really likes him! Ever since the first time she laid eyes on him" she lied again. "And… well… I was really hoping to gain some time… and talk Troy into it"

"Oh!" Amanda blinked a couple of times. "Well, I don't want you to hate me but… she's really far away… and I think that I may of have a chance" She grinned.

"I already hate you" Gabriella thought and faked a smile "Well, go for it! I want to see if he says yes"

Amanda smiled really big "But you have to help me!"

"What? No!" Gabriella said astonished. Amanda wanted Gabriella to help her? God! They've only known each other for like 2 weeks and it seems that Amanda doesn't get that she's the last person on earth Gabriella would want to help. And much less help her ask Troy out!

Amanda grabbed her arm "Please!" she begged with pleading eyes.

Gabriella sighed and looked at her directly in the eyes. She really seemed to want to date Troy and… she may be stupid… but she wasn't a bad person. And all Gabriella wanted is to Troy to have a nice girl by his side… and to know that, that girl would be there for him when she wasn't able to. But only the thought of Troy and her dating, made Gabriella's stomach turn in disgust.

"Please!" Amanda begged again.

Gabriella sighed again "You really like Troy, don't you?"

"I know I've barely talked to him! It seems like he's avoiding me or something… but yes! He's awesome!" Amanda smiled dreamily.

Gabriella smiled to herself "Yeah, he is…"

And both girls stood there… day dreaming about the same guy both liked… even if one of them wouldn't admit it.

"So?" Amanda asked as she was the first one to snap out.

Gabriella followed next "So, what?"

"Are you going to help me or not?"She asked excited.

Gabriella looked down and sighed frustrated. "Fine! But I don't promise anything!"

Amanda squealed and hugged her very tight "THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

Gabriella twisted her face disgusted and patted her back lightly. "Yeah, yeah… get off!"

Amanda let her go, but started jumping up and down in front of her. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Gabriella couldn't help but laugh at her. "Okay! I got it! Enough Amanda!"

She giggled "Sorry… oh! We so have to go shopping! Of course… if Troy says yes!"

Gabriella smiled as the bell rang "Well, I'll catch you later!"

"Sure! Best friend!" Amanda giggled and jumped off.

Gabriella froze at those words. "Oh hell no!" she mumbled to herself and shook her head, looking down. "Why me, God?" she asked as she looked up at the sky and then walked to her next class.

As she sat down on her desk, her phone vibrated. She jumped a little and took it out to see she had a message from Troy.

Troy: Could u plz explain y Amanda is all over me 2day?

Gabby: y should I know?

Troy: cuz all she does is ramble about how gr8 u r!

Gabby: she adores me! Apparently I'm her bff!

Troy: what? Seriously?

Gabby: I'm not surprised she doesn't have any other friends, she's annoying.

Troy: ur 2 good of a person ;)

Gabby: shut up and let me study!

Troy: ok. Luv ya.

Gabby: luv ya too.

Gabriella put her cell phone back into her pocket and stared at front when she felt someone's eyes on the back of her head. She turned around only to see Shane smiling at her and waving at her. She smiled back at him and turned back around.

When the class finished, Gabriella stood up and grabbed her stuff, but one of her books fell down. When she went to pick it up, someone had won her. She looked up to see a smiling Shane.

"Hey Gabriella!" he said as he gave her, her book.

"Thanks" she smiled and put her book in her bag.

"Do you mind if I walk you to your next class?" Shane asked hopeful.

"Actually I was heading home just about now, sorry" she smiled apologetically.

"Oh, don't worry about it!" he smiled. "At least let me walk you to your car!"

Gabriella felt kind of awkward, but accepted. "Alright, thanks"

They started walking out of the building when Gabriella saw something that broke her heart really bad.

To be continued. (Dramatic music. DUN DUN DUNNNN!)
