Love's spelled D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R 1x10
"So I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7" Troy smiled at Amanda.
"Sure!" Amanda smiled excitedly. "And maybe you should check on Gabby… she hasn't gone out of her room in a while" she said worried.
"Nah! I'm sure she's fine!" Troy said as he opened the front door.
In that moment Sharpay walked into the apartment like if it were her own, with a supermarket bag.
"Sharpay?" Troy asked shocked.
She turned around to glare at him "Shut up, asshole! I'm not here for you, but for my best friend!"
She turned her attention to Amanda and looked at her up and down. "I see you don't get tired of sluts" she smirked and turned around.
"What did you just call me?" Amanda asked shocked.
"Sharpay!" Troy yelled at her, but it was too late since she had already slammed Gabriella's door behind her.
"Oh Gabby!" Sharpay sighed and sat next to her, getting under the covers.
"Shar…" Gabriella cried and hugged her. "I hate this!"
"I know, babes!" she rubbed her back. "Cheer up! I brought you some chocolate ice cream"
Gabriella sat up straight "You did?" she sniffled.
Sharpay giggled and took out a big chocolate ice cream tub from the supermarket bag.
"Do you have any spoons I could borrow?" Sharpay asked. "I forgot to bring them…"
"In the kitchen…" she sniffled again and opened the tub.
Sharpay went out of her room and walked into the living room to find a very pissed off Troy.
"Could you please explain to me who the hell do you think you are to walk into my house and call the girl I'm seeing a slut?" he crossed his arms.
Sharpay only rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen to grab the spoons. Troy followed her.
"Answer me!"
"My name is Sharpay Evans, you've known me since pre-school, and I'm here to comfort our best friend! Job which you're not doing because you're too busy making out with a slut!" She walked past him and walked to Gabriella's room.
"What's wrong with Gabby?" he frowned as he followed again.
She turned around to face him "Something really bad, why do you think I came all the way over here?"
"And what's that 'really bad' thing?" he asked.
"You ask her yourself! Now if you excuse me… I need to go… and don't even dare to listen behind the door, or I swear I'll kick your ass so hard that you'll wake up in the hospital, in the middle of surgery while the doctors are trying to glue together the useless pieces of your nasty ass!" And with that she walked into Gabby's room and slammed the door on his face.
Troy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. What has he done to make Gabriella feel this bad? Was it even his fault at all?
"God, what do I do?" he asked himself and walked into his room.
Sharpay sat back down next to Gabriella and handed her one of the spoons.
"Thank you" she whispered with a groggy voice and took a mouthful spoon of ice cream.
"Would you tell me what happened now?" Sharpay asked as she took a little bit of ice cream and shove it into her mouth.
Gabriella sighed and told her the story; from the jealousy she felt in the dinner 2 weeks ago, to when she fell off the stairs, to when she said yes to Shane.
"OMG! Gabriella! You should not date guys in revenge! You saw what happened to me when I tried getting back at Jared!"
"Besides getting drunk and end up naked under his covers again?" she giggled.
"I told you to not mention it again!" she yelled at her but both giggled.
Gabriella sighed "Plus… this situation is way different… Jared was your boyfriend… while Troy is just my friend…"
"Correction… your best friend with-"
"A hot body, gorgeous eyes and that loves me very much" Gabriella rolled her eyes as she finished Sharpay sentence.
"If you know it so well, why do you make me repeat it to you…?" Sharpay said and shoved more ice cream into her mouth.
"Because I cannot date my best friend! It would be weird!" she sighed. "Plus he's interested in Amanda… even if he swore she gets into his nerves…"
"Gabsy… have you ever thought that he's just trying to make you jealous?"
"What…?" Gabriella looked shocked at Sharpay.
"Think about it! He started dating the girl you hate and that he hates!" she said. "Why else would he date a girl he cannot stand either?"
"I don't know what I did to him! But I know him more than he knows himself… and he wants to get back at me for something!" She sighed.
"Want me to figure out what it is?" Sharpay asked. "I just need a needle and a pot!"
Gabriella laughed. "No! I think I can handle it myself"
"Are you sure?"
Gabriella nodded. "Positive"
"Damn it!" Sharpay sighed. "I really wanted to torture him"
Gabriella giggled. "I know"
The two friends talked for a long time, either commenting about the movie they were watching or about Troy or…Shane. Gabriella was glad that at least one of her best friends was there to listen to her… even if she wanted Troy to be there instead of Sharpay.
It was around 11:50 pm, when Gabriella woke up. She looked to her right, to see that Sharpay was deep into her sleep. She hated that she didn't have the guest room arranged for her; she would be so much comfortable than in Gabriella's bed. She stood up and walked, more like stumbled, out into the hallway and then to the living room. She turned on the lights and grabbed the cover that was lying on the couch and stepped outside the balcony, sitting on a dirty chair that was already there when they arrived. She sighed thoughtfully as she stared at the cars bellow pass. She hated so much to be mad at Troy… but in that moment, she couldn't even look at him… not after what she saw in his bedroom. Tears rolled down her cheeks and suddenly she felt two strong arms being wrapped around her. She lifted her head up and brown met blue.
"Hi" Troy whispered.
"Couldn't sleep either?" Gabriella asked as she looked back down.
"Nope…" he sighed. "I couldn't, knowing you were mad at me…"
She sighed and looked up at him. She didn't know what to say to him.
Troy picked her up bridal style, only to take her place on the chair and then placed her on his lap, wrapping his arms around her.
"I don't know what I did…" Troy sighed. "But I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said looking at her.
Gabriella looked down and then back at him only to wrap her arms around his neck and hug him tightly.
"I'm sorry… you didn't do anything wrong" Gabriella mumbled on his chest.
"Then why did you yell at me when I was trying to help you?" he asked.
"Well… I guess I kind of overreacted… since I saw you kissing Amanda, knowing how I felt about her." She sighed. "But I don't have the right to be mad about it… you're free to kiss or date whoever you want… even if it's a wacko like her"
"Geeze! Thanks!" Troy rolled his eyes. "How's your ankle, by the way?"
"I just bent it really bad…it'll heal in a couple of weeks" she said as she wiggled her foot. "It doesn't hurt that bad anymore"
"That's good" he nodded and the frowned. "So… you've got a date with Shane, I see…"
Gabriella's eyes widened. "How do… you know?" she looked down.
"I went looking for you in the nurse's office… and I heard you" he said not knowing where to look.
"Oh" that was really all what Gabriella could say.
"I thought you didn't like him" Troy said. None of them really wanting to stare at each other.
"I don't" Gabriella shook her head. "But he's a really nice guy, and he really seems to like me…" she sighed. "Plus, I wanted to give him a chance, who knows… love may come" Gabriella shrugged.
Troy nodded understandingly. "Guess I don't longer have a chance" he thought and sighed.
"So, what happened with Amanda?" Gabriella asked, not really wanting to know. "How come you said yes to her if she 'annoyed you' so much?" Gabriella asked making air quotes.
"I… I don't know" Troy lied. "I guess I was drunk or something" he chuckled.
"Geeze, now that's nice" Gabriella rolled her eyes.
Troy laughed and rested his head over hers. Both looked up at the sky, when suddenly a shooting star crossed the sky.
"Make a wish" Gabriella said.
And both made the same wish: "Make him/her belong to me"
What they didn't know is that they already belonged to each other… and… that a certain blonde girl was watching them from the corner of the hall.
"They'll be together sooner or later… even if that means that I have to move here with them" she thought and smiled.
To be continued.
