Hello readers, I know it's been like 3 or 4 months since I last updated. My only excuse why is because I'm been busy with my school soccer team and school work. My finals are coming up. I get out of school on June 17th. So after that I should have chapters being updated quicker. So other than that…here's chapter 7. P.S- some of you guys may hate me again once you read the last few lines of the chapter.

Last time: "Go away Gabriella!" She yelled back. She walked over to the driver's side of her car.

"No, Sharpay!" I ran next to her slamming her against her car.

"Please, Sharpay listen. What you saw, it wasn't what you thought it was. Amber kissed me. I didn't kiss her back I swear! Sharpay…I love you…and only you. Please, you have to believe me." I said. She shook her head while pushing me off her.

"Gabriella, I just can't…" She said as more tears glided down her face. She opened her car door and drove off leaving me standing outside alone. I soon felt tears sliding down my face as I watched her drive away. Just when things were getting better, they became worse.

Back with Amber when all the drama took place with GabiXShar

When Gabriella had left the room to go after her ex, I smiled. I knew what I had done, and that there was no possible way Gabriella and Sharpay would get back together . I now had Gabriella where I wanted her. I also had Sharpay somewhat out of the way. Hopefully it will stay that way, or every things going to fall out of place. I got knocked out of my thoughts when I heard someone walking up the stairs, it was probably Gabriella. When she walked, her face was pale and tears were streaming down her face.

A few minutes prior with Gabriella

I just stood there stunned. I just couldn't believe what had just happened in the past 15 minutes. I had Sharpay's trust, and now it's gone. I was able to get out of the trance and walk inside the house up to my room. I walked over to my bed, sat down, and buried my face in my hands crying. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my neck pulling me into their arms. She was the cause of all of this, but I didn't care at that moment. I needed to be held. I wrapped my arms around her sobbing into the crook of her neck.

"Gabriella I'm so sorry."I told her trying to act like I didn't mean for any of this to happen. She didn't respond but just kept on crying. "Shh, Gabriella. It's going to be okay." I said to her as I started to rub her back. After a few minutes of rubbing her back, her crying still didn't subside.

*With Sharpay who just got home*

I marched right into the house crying not saying a word to my parents or my brother.

"Sharpay, what's wrong!" Ryan yelled as he followed me upstairs.

"Ryan, not now!" I said through my teeth.

"Come on Shar, it can't be that bad. Is it?" He asked as I entered my room. I was about to shut the door when he stopped it with his foot.

"Seriously Ryan! Leave!" I yelled through my tears.

"No!" He said somewhat softly. He pushed himself in my room and shut the door. I stood there crying, but eventually walking over to my bed sitting on it.

"Now…Sharpay, tell me what's wrong?" I shook my head crying silently now.

"Gabriella…she…"

"Gabriella what?" He asked sitting next to me.

"I saw her kissing Amber." I said now looking at him.

"A…are you sure?" He gave me a confused face. Like are you kidding me.

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!" I kind of yelled out.

"Sharpay, are you sure that's what happened? Did you talk to Gabriella about it?" Ryan asked me.

"Well before I left, she told me Amber had kissed her, but she didn't kiss back." I said through more tears.

I could tell Ryan didn't know what to say when I saw him look down. I was about to leave when he pulled me into his arms. "Sharpay, I'm sorry, I promise things will get better." I shook my head again."No it won't Ryan." I said trying to hold back more tears. I pushed him back forcefully and left my room. No one knew how I felt. I felt angry at Amber, upset I lost trust with Gabriella. Frustrated that things kept on getting worse. I just want things to go back to normal! For the 2nd time that night I had a breakdown. I slid down the hallway wall sobbing into my folded arms with my knees against my chest.

Back with Gabriella and Amber

"Gabriella, shh." I rubbed her back softly finally getting her to calm down. Her head lay on my shoulder while sitting in between my legs. I heard the door open, and standing there was her mother.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, complete worry in her voice. She looked at her silently crying daughter then back to me.

"Yeah, every things fine Ms. Montez. We just had a minor problem." I said as I used another hand to stoke Gabi's hair.

"Um, okay. " She nodded staring worriedly at Gabriella. She left the room leaving us alone. As her crying finally stopped, she lifted her head up wiping away stray tears.

"Gabriella, I'm so very sorry." I said even though it wasn't true. Gabriella gave me a blank stare before looking at her clock.

"Um…A...Amber y…ou should…get...go...ing" She said in one shaky breath. I sighed, she was right. It was half past 8.

"Yeah, okay. I'll leave." I gave her a quick hug before standing up. "I'll see you tomorrow?" She nodded with her arms folded across her chest. I gave her a half smile before turning around to leave her room.

*Gabriella's P.O.V*

I watched Amber leave the room before I lay on my side. I breathed out 1 long breath thinking why everything had to be so complicated. Why can't things go back to normal? I didn't really get any of my homework done, or any of the project Amber and I were supposed to do. I still had time to do some of it. But I was way too tired. I decided to get up and get ready for bed, not caring it was only 8:30. I put my pajamas on, set my alarm clock on, then finally turned off me lights before climbing into my bed.

With Sharpay in her room.

I finally got my crying to stop just before 8:50. Of course my parents asked me what was going on. But I ignored them. I didn't really wanna tell them why I was upset. Just why? Why did this have to happen God? Why? Amber had to make things worse for me. I hate her so much! Why did she have to come into my life and ruin things!

*The Next day at school with Gabriella and Taylor. 7:00. (Before school starts)*

"So what happened Gabriella? You're getting me worried."

"Well last night. Sharpay came over. We talked about things, trying to make our friendship a little less awkward. And things went well. I promised Sharpay nothing was going on between Amber and me. Which was true, and…" I paused for a second, "She got a phone call, from her brother I assume. That's when Amber came in. We said hello and everything and…"

"Go on Gabriella." Taylor said.

"Well, I don't know how it happened. But Amber fell on me, and then 2 seconds later she kissed me! Then Sharpay walks in, and everything went downhill from there."

"Well, what did you do?" Taylor asked me

"Well, when she kissed me, I froze. I didn't know what to do. Sharpay just ran off crying. Of course I went after her. But she didn't believe me when I said I didn't kiss back. I just hope today isn't going to too bad between us"

"Gabriella, if you wanted, I could talk to Sharpay for you."

"Nah, its okay Taylor…I'll talk to her myself."

I entered the classroom I saw Amber already in her seat. Troy and Sarah were all "cuddly" with each other. Taylor and Chad were talking. Jason, of course confused. Ryan was talking to Kelsi. Probably about Prom. And well Sharpay, she was starring into space. God knows what she's thinking about.

"Gabriella, are you going to take your seat or what?" Zeke asked me. I smiled embarrassingly at him walking over to my seat sitting down. I gazed over at Sharpay, guilt written all over my face. Her face was tear stained, it looked like she had cried herself to sleep, she might have not even gotten any sleep. I felt someone grab my hand, turning to my right Amber smiled giving me somewhat of an apologetic look.

"It will be okay Gabriella." She said.

"I hope your right." I told her pulling my hand away from hers.

Drama class soon came to end signaling it was time to go to 2nd hour. Which I didn't really want to because of you know who! I gathered my things before exiting the half empty room to Chemistry.

"Hey Gabriella! Wait up." Of course, Taylor. I stopped and waited for before we continued our first silent walk to 2nd hour. I was about to walk in when Taylor stopped me.

"Gabriella, do you wanna work with me today? Because of last night?" She asked me. I shook my head.

"No its okay Taylor."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure Taylor." I gave her a slight smile before walking into the room. I made my way over to the lab station, not taking my eyes off of Sharpay. I set my stuff down before I took my seat.

"Um hi Sharpay…"

"Hi…" She mumbled. I could tell right then, things weren't going to go so well. "How are things going with your new girlfriend?" She asked somewhat angrily.

I let out a slight sigh. "Sharpay, what you saw last night…Amber kissed me. I didn't kiss her back. I swear Sharpay."

"Yeah, and you didn't pull back either." She said.

"Well that's because I was in complete shock Sharpay. I didn't know how to react at that moment." She looked up at me with sadness in her eyes. "Sharpay, I may have hurt you, but I didn't mean to. And I'm sorry." Sharpay tore her gaze away from me onto the black table we were sitting at.

"Sharpay, can I ask you a question?" Sharpay nodded still looking down.

"Why do you care?" I asked facing her.

"Care about what?" She asked quietly.

"I mean why do you care that another girl likes me? I don't get it Sharpay. You broke up with me, and there had to be a reason why. I just wanna know why you want Amber away from me. I know you told me you can't stand seeing her with me…but why is all I wanna know…" I said to her with Sharpay's eyes now staring back into mine, showing hurt and confusion, also showing a little bit of anger.

"Gabriella….I-"

"Good morning class! Today we will be taking a quiz on the last 4 experiments we have done so far in class. The quiz should take all hour. But if you happen to finish early, you may work on other homework you may have. So once I pass out the quiz, there should be no talking or you will receive a zero! Got it?" He looked around the room before passing out the quizzes.

"So Shar, how did Chemistry class go?" Ryan asked me as we walked down the hall.

"Um, it went okay; Gabriella and I just had a minor fight."

"Define minor Sharpay…" He asked as we reached the stairs to the 3rd floor.

"Well, Gabriella and I just had a slight fight about last night. Then she asked why I cared so much about another girl having a crush on her and stuff, meaning Amber."

"Well, why do you care Sharpay?" Ryan asked as we made our way to the top of the staircase.

"I didn't give her an answer…" I said as I stopped at the top.

"Why not Sharpay?" He asked as he caught up with me.

"Because, I don't know what it is Ryan."

"I do, and it's obvious."

"Really? Tell me Ryan!" I nearly yelled as I stood in front of him.

"Sharpay, I'm not going to tell you. You have to figure it out on your own. You're smart enough to."

"Well I'm obviously not that smart, because I don't know what the answer is!" I replied throwing my arms up in the air.

"Shar, I'm sorry. You are just going to have to find it out on your own." He told me before walking around me.

"Ryan!" I yelled at him.

"Sharpay, figure it out! I'll see you later!" He smiled at me before disappearing in the crowd of students.

After 4th hour with Gabriella.(Lunch time)

"Hey Taylor!" I yelled to the other side of the hall. She smiled and walked over to me.

"Hey Gabriella, what's up?"

"Nothing really, can you tell our friends I'll be a little late. I need to talk to Amber."

"Oh sure Gabriella, I will. See you in a bit." She smiled and waved before heading to the lunch room. As she went that way, I made my way to the roof top garden where I had told her to meet me. Knowing that she had already known where it was since the principal gave her a tour of East High. I made it up the stairwell and onto the brick. Turning to my right I saw Amber looking out over the building slightly shivering.

"A little cold Amber," I asked smiling. She turned around to face me.

"Yeah…I am a little bit cold. Remind me why we didn't meet in the theater?" She asked walking closer to me.

"Because, that's where Mrs. Darbus is most of the time. Unless, you wanna help plan a musical?" I asked smiling.

"I rather not," She laughed as we both sat down on the bench.

"That's what I thought…"

"So, you wanted to talk to me Gabriella?" She asked smiling at me.

"Yeah I did...Amber what was up with last night?" I asked giving her a long hard stare.

"What do you mean?" She looked confused.

"I mean, why did you kiss me?" I asked Amber calmly. She instantly looked down.

"Because….I guess I just got caught in the moment." Amber said to me. I sighed and moved closer to her before lifting up her chin connecting our eyes with one another's again.

"So your saying it was an accident and that you don't like me at all."

"Gabriella, your half right."She put her hand on the back of my neck. Her other hand resting on my right hand. "Gabriella, I do like you..."

"So I was right, you do you like me." Amber smiled and took her hand that was once resting on my hand to my left shoulder as she moved closer to me. Our faces were now only inches apart. Everything was now quiet except for the sounds of cars going by and the wind blowing through our hair. I watched her lean in closer and closer to me until I felt her lips once again resting on mine. My Instant thought was to pull away. But I didn't. I let her kiss me.

Okay I guess I'm going to stop there. I would have written more, but I needed a way to end the Chapter. This seemed like a good place to stop writing. So the next chapter won't be out for a while till after the last day of school. I had this all written out, but was just too lazy to post it. I know, and I'm sorry I kept you guys waiting so long. :( Again spelling and grammar, not the best)
