Hey guys I am so sorry about the really late updates. It's just school just ended for me about 2 days ago and it's hard for me…don't ask why. So I'll try to get as much out as possible before I leave for a trip! Here's chapter 30… (Oh and I can't believe I'm already on # 30!!)

Chapter 30

Gabriella went to her next class and sadly, Chad and Troy and Taylor was in her next class. She went up to the door, but realized that someone was looking at her from behind. She could feel it. She looked behind her. And it was the three she was trying to avoid. "Why can't you guys just leave me alone for goodness sake!" she said.

"What's wrong Gabi? Where were you last night?" said Taylor.

"We were worried about you…" said Chad.

"Whatever…" she said and walked into gym.

They ended up playing dodge ball…

Gabriella was not on their team luckily and was taking out all of her emotion in dodge ball so she really couldn't hurt someone by physically kicking, punching, etc. nor hurt their feelings talking to them rudely. Once gym was done it meant, school was done. She took out her cell and called Troy's home phone knowing that Troy is not home and wanted to tell Lucille something.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hi Lucille…"she said.

"GABRIELLA!! Where have you been!?" she said worried.

"I've been fine don't worry. I-"

"Where were you?!" she asked mad now.

"I was nowhere. I was wondering if I could call my mom and ask her if I could stay at my own house for the rest of the month…" she said feeling guilty.



"Why do you not want to stay here?" she asked curiously and sad that Gabriella didn't want to stay with them.

"I just…I just… I just really want to stay at my own house…I'm sorry…" she said not wanting to tell her the truth.

"But why?" she asked.

"Because…well I just want to…" she said.

"But why??"

"Because I don't think Troy and I are getting along…" she said sadly.

"What?? Why??"

"Just ask Troy, but is it okay?" she asked hopefully.

"It's fine…just make sure it's okay with your mom…?"

"Okay, I'll go back to the house and say bye to you and Dill then get my stuff…" she explained.

"Okay…"

"Bye…." she hung up. Gabriella then called her mom.

"Helloo? Stop it George!" said her mom giggling.

"Hi mom!" she said happily.

"Hi, is that you Gabriella…?" she asked worried.

"Yes, and I'm okay. Who is that in the background?"

"Uh no one…!" she said lying.

"Mom…I don't get it all of a sudden your nice to me…??" she said suspiciously.

"No, it's just I feel guilty about what I did to you…"



"Yeah…sure…whatever mom. I was wondering if I could stay at our house…." she said getting onto the question.

"Why??" she asked.

"Because I don't like it there with Troy's family!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry, and yes you can stay at our house…" she said.

"K thanks mom!" she said then hung up. She was almost to the house. She walked up to the doorway and opened and was immediately like hugged around the legs.

"PWEEEASE DON'T GO!" yelled Dylan sadly.

"Dylan, I'm sorry…she wants to go home…" Lucille said.

"NWOOOO! PWEEEEASE!!" he begged.

"Come here handsome!" said Gabriella and picked him up and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Pweeease don't gwo GWABI! Pwease! I WUV YOU!" he said holding her tightly with a tear rolling down his cheek.

"I'm sorry Dill…." she said sadly.

"Bwut…bwut…I Wub you! Pweease. Is it my faawlt your leaving?" he asked sadly.

"No,no, no, it's not your fault Dylan…it's not yours. How's bout' you help me with my packing? And you can come visit me!" she said feeling guilty.

"Okway…" said Dylan sadly looking down at the floor still hugging her.

Meanwhile with Troy…

Troy was walking home and he felt guilty and was walking home sadly.

Back with Gabriella and Dylan…



Gabriella and Dylan were packing everything she had brought over. They finished and they walked downstairs. "I'm ready to go…" she said sadly.

"Okay…do you want me to drive you?" Lucille asked.

"It's cool…no thanks…" she said.

"Okay…well bye Gabriella. Even though you were only here for about a week and half I thought you were pretty much like a daughter to me…" she admitted.

"And you were like the mother I never had! Thank you so much! But I will say hi to you guys!" she said.

"Okay..bye Gabriella…" said Lucille.

"Bye Gwabi!" said Dylan waving glumly as if he was tired.

"Bye guys!" she walked out the door and headed home.

Okay guys that's all for now. I'm sorry…bad ending, but I'm sick and I really am tired! Thanks guys!
