On the bus
"Hey Gabi." Taylor and Kelsi and Sharpay said.
"Hey girlies, what's going on??"
"Oh you know the usual, talking of course." Tay answered.
"Oh yes how could I not have guessed that."
"So Gabi what's with the big smile? I mean if I remember correctly in 7th bell you didn't look to happy and Tay said in 6th bell you were upset." Kelsi questioned Gabriella.
"Oh it's no big deal anymore."
"Oh my gosh, you talked to him didn't you?!" Taylor asked.
"We might have said a few things."
"Oh my gosh details."
"Well after what happened… Troy showed up at my locker and we just sorted everything out and so now everything's good." Gabriella said with a huge smile on her face.
"Well that's great Gabi!" Tay told Gabriella while Gabi just smiled
"Yeah Gabs, great." Kelsi told me.
"Yeah just wonderful," Sharpay said.
"What is your problem Shar?" Gabriella asked.
"Oh nothing I just feel bad that while Troy's pretending to like you actually think you have a chance with him."
"Um Sharpay unless you didn't hear Troy is going to ask me out and he only kissed you to make me jealous."
"Well Brie if he likes you so much why didn't he just ask you out last week when we talked it about?"
"Because he was nervous." Gabriella stated nervously.
"Or was just having doubts."
"That's not true Sharpay and you know it. You just can't stand it that a guy that you like, likes me instead. You think it's so terrible that someone one likes me better than you. You can't stand it that I might actually get a boyfriend while you don't have one."
"That's so not true and you know it."
"And how would I know that Sharpay."
"Because you know me and you know I'm not like that."
"No Sharpay because what I just told you that's the exact person you are now. The Sharpay I knew would be happy for me that I can finally be happy. The Sharpay I knew wouldn't have cared. She would be trying to get him to ask me out sooner. You are not the Sharpay I know you are like a completely new person who I am so glad I don't know."
"Gabriella Montez how dare you say that about me."
"Why you know it's true? You're just mad that someone finally had the guts to set you straight, to tell you off, and to get you to understand how different you are since six grade. How much of a jerk you are now. You can't even wave to me in the hallway around your friends but when it's just you you're absolutely fine waving and talking to me. You don't realize how much you have really hurt us. You don't understand how much you have changed. You don't understand how terrible of a person you really are." Gabriella said starting to tear up.
"Ella I-"
"This is my stop." Gabriella interrupted.
As Gabriella got off the bus she just couldn't help but break down. She walked slowly up her driveway and crashed when she got to the front porch steps.
"Gabriella, honey, is that you?"
"Oh Mr. Taylor I'm sorry I… didn't know that… that someone was out here I'm… I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing to me sweetie?"
"I don't know I just… I just I don't know." Gabriella sniffled.
"Why don't you start with what happened." Mr. Taylor said softly.
"I just I mean it's just Sharpay. I mean she thinks she is like the ruler of everyone but she is not. She's just so… she's just getting annoying. I just I want to just like… oh I don't know. She has just changed so much."
"I'm sorry Ella, but if it makes you feel any better I lost my good friend in high school too."
"How is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"Because now we are the best of friends again. We are even closer than we were before everything in high school happened."
"Thanks Mr. T that makes me feel a little better."
"No problem dear, anytime." Mr. Taylor said while nodding at someone who was standing on Gabriella's driveway.
"Gabi I'm… I'm so sorry can… can we talk." Sharpay cried.
"I have nothing to say to you Sharpay." Gabriella stated while looking away from Mr. Taylor.
"Gabi please, we have been best friends since forever."
"Did you really JUST say that? Did you HONESTLY just say that?" Gabriella screamed.
"Yes, I did, now why is that such a big deal?"
"We have NOT been friends since forever. Maybe if you said that about oh I don't know FOUR f…… years ago I would have said yeah Shar you are absolutely right why would we throw that away but this is FOUR YEARS AGO this in now. We haven't been best friends in a long time Sharpay and it is NOT MY FAULT. It has always been YOU that wrecked our friendship. I tried to save it but NO I COULDN'T because you can't be seen with someone who is NOT POPULAR! YOU ARE WHY WE ARE STANDING HERE, YOU ARE!! NOT ME. DON'T YOU DARE BLAME THIS ON ME!" Gabriella screamed even louder.
"I am not the only one at fault. Just because I don't talk to you in the hallways when I'm around my friends but that doesn't mean we never talk." Sharpay said through her tears.
"You're right we do talk but we CAN NEVER talk when YOU'RE with your friends. I would NEVER want to hurt your friendship with your so called friends. If they can't accept you being friends with me than they aren't real friends Sharpay. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!"
"Those PEOPLE are my friends whether you like It or not. I could care LESS."
"Then this is it Sharpay. If you can't accept me for me than why are we even friends?" Gabriella stated a little softer than before.
"I don't know WHY ARE WE?" Sharpay screamed this time.
"Well you don't have to worry about me getting in your way anymore because WE are DONE. Everything our friendship was is OVER. Our friendship is OVER for GOOD!" Gabriella sobbed.
"GOOD, THEN WE CAN FINALLY BE FREE!!" Sharpay cried.
"Good-bye then Sharpay."
"Good-bye Brie." Sharpay said while walking away.
As Sharpay walked away Gabriella once again broke down as she walked into her house to get ready for the day that could only get worse.
