Chapter 26- Wildcats

We pulled into the Laker stadium and we checked in with Joe. He smiled and sent us on our way; we headed towards the entrance of the stadium.

"You guys! Why do the paparazzi have to be here?" I whined, the group behide me laughed, I narrowed my eyes and looked at all of the people.

Sam, Vanessa, Gloria, and Amy all here to watch their husbands play, Vanessa and Gloria's kids holding their hands to watch their hero play the game they love. I looked at Karen and Steve; they were here to watch there only son plays his game. Jenni, Jack, and Lucille here to watch their baby boy and Jenni's big brother, Sharpay and Zeke, here to watch their best friends play, then I looked at Taylor who stood beside me, nervous. Both of us for the future, here to watch our lovers play the game they enjoy, that sometimes that might even put before us. But never mean to. I was suddenly scared of walking through the door.

"Guys…I don't think I can do it" I mumbled, they all turned and starred at me.

"What, what's wrong" Amy asked, looks coming from the others asking the same thing.

I shook my head "Never mind, let's just go inside, okay?" I said, I walked before them all and into the arena; I showed my pass to one of the security guards and then headed towards the locker room. Tears filled my eyes as I walked forward, I could feel and hear the people behide me.

When I opened the door, I looked down and then up quickly.

"Bolton! Your girl is here!" Someone called out, I heard a round of chatter and then I walked closer to locker 14. When I got there, I saw Troy standing there waiting for me.

I looked up, my eyes wet with tears "Hey wildcat" I said, a smile appearing on my face. The smile on his face disappeared as soon as he saw my tears.

"Brie, are you okay?" He asked I nodded my head quickly.

"Yes, I am more than okay Troy. I am happy for you, I am proud of you, I am so impressed, I love you" I said, he laughed and then kissed the top of my head.

"I love you too Brie"

"Aww! Would you too break it up for two minutes?" Jenni scowled, I rolled my eyes and pulled back from Troy.

"Jenni, should I even have to warn you?" I asked, she shook her head and got a laugh out of everybody.

I walked over and grabbed Chad into a quick hug and I felt Troy's eyes on me.

"Gabi, who made the shirt?" Troy asked, I giggled and turned around and pointed at Sharpay who was in Zeke's arms. Troy then went over to Sharpay and kissed her cheek, a sloppy kiss too.

"Ew! Troy!" She said wiping off the spit on her cheek, I was laughing.

"Sharpay that is a thanks! That shirt is so needed!" He said, his arms slipping around my waist. I looked over to see Kobe and his kids all wrapped in a hug.

"In a year Troy, you will have a little kid all wrapped in your arms before you first game" I whispered, he smiled and looked down. He rubbed my stomach, which was sticking out horribly in the shirt. Our secret was over, probably.

"Mr. Bolton?" Somebody called out; I raised an eyebrow, Mr. Bolton?

"Yeah?"

"There is a Mr. Ryan Evens, Kelsi Nelson, Jason Cross, and a Martha Cox, claiming that they know you?" The guys asked, my eyes brightened and I looked up at Troy who was smiling.

"Let them in Todd, I know them all too well" Troy said, I looked over towards the group. Sharpay and Zeke, Chad and Taylor, Troy and I, Jack was standing talking to Chad. All of the other adults talking on the other side, Jenni is hanging out with Amy and Sam. Then the rest of the group was standing there. Kelsi and Ryan holding hands and Jason and Martha holding hands, I yelped with excitement and let go of Troy and effulged them in a hug.

"Gabi! You are pregnant!" Kelsi exclaimed, I giggled and let go of all four of them, Taylor behide me.

"Yep, 24 weeks!" I said, everybody gave them quick hugs and then we were all standing in a circle, all with Troy had his arms wrapped around me, Jason had his arm around Martha's shoulder, Ryan was standing behide Kelsi with his arms around her neck, Sharpay and Zeke were holding hands, same with Chad and Taylor.

"So are two guys ready to play your first NBA game?" Kelsi asked, I giggled.

"Yes! I am so excited!" Chad said

"Same! This is going to be awesome, it would be even better if the other two wildcats were joining us" Troy said, shooting a look to Zeke and Jason.

"When did you guys get here?" I asked

"This morning, Sharpay called us the other day. I hadn't heard from any of you guys in forever." Ryan said he even looked at Sharpay.

"Sorry Ry, it's been busy here" I mumbled, he laughed. "I noticed" He said pointing to my stomach. I rolled my eyes and leaned back against Troy, he was still stroking my stomach.

"Does this not look like my locker room before a big game or any game for that matter?" Jack asked, looking around.

The whole group laughed "It's the wildcats" Chad said, I smiled and took in a moment of silence.

"LAKERS LETS GO!" The coach yelled, all of us looked up at each other and then at Chad. This was Chad's usual call.

"WHAT TEAM?" Chad yelled

"WILDCATS!" We yelled back

"GETCHA' HEAD IN THE GAME!" We all yelled together, we all laughed and put our hands in the middle.

"WILDCATS!" We yelled

The group then started to file out of the room; we were left alone with our boyfriends.

"Play hard Wildcat" I whispered into his ear, playing with the back of his hair.

"I will, promise me to take it easy okay?"

"Not a chance" I said back, he laughed and then brought me into a kiss. A breathtaking kiss.

"Bolton! Danforth! Now!" The coach yelled, we pulled back letting our foreheads touch.

"Go get them you two!" Then the two players that I loved most walked through the door, I looked at Taylor.

"Let's do this" I said, I grabbed her hand and we walked out the door. We caught up with the group and we walked to our seats, right behide the bench. They were getting ready to start calling names for the Lakers. They had just done the other team's name.

"Okay Lakers fans let's introduce our starting line up!" The announcer's voice rang through the stadium. The crowd stood up and cheered, more like roared. I screamed and I held my stomach while at it.

"First we have you forward Luke Walton!" I cheered and clapped as he ran out onto the court, Sammie was standing on her seat cheering. I giggled and watched as he tossed something into the crowd.

"Next we have forward Matt Barnes!" Again the room roared, Gloria jumping up and down clapping, her little boys cheering and running in circles, I laughed and watched intently, wondering who is was going to call next.

"Next we have out new, rookie, center Chad Danforth!" The room seemed to erupt then, I stepped back a little and I cheered, Taylor was standing on her chair cheering, his dad was yelling that, that was his son. I clapped for Chad.

"Go CHAD!" I yelled I saw him look towards us and wink; I smiled and then waited for the next person.

"Now, for our new, rookie, Guard Troy Bolton!" I erupted into screams, the whole room around me. Lucille was in tears, I was in tears, and I snapped a quick picture on my iPhone. Then out of know where, we heard.

"Wildcats…wildcats…wildcat…wildcats…" And they kept going; Troy and Chad were met up in the middle. We all looked around and then we spotted an area of red, and lots of it. A group of kids were holding a sign that read "Troy and Chad, Wildcats of 2008." I gasped and clapped my head over my mouth. Our whole group did, the teachers, graduate students, I looked over to see Jenni who was screaming. She waved and smiled at somebody, probably at her boyfriend.

"Jack! Did you know about this?" I asked he nodded his head with a smile. I looked at Troy and Chad who look so happy. The wildcat chant kept going. I looked down to see the Kobe had joined the court, the chant so loud you couldn't even notice.

"Now! Everybody quite for just a second!" Somebody yelled through the PA system, the room was silent.

"We have some wildcats here, and we have been asked that they lead a chant before the game, school tradition because it seems like the whole top row is full of wildcat fans, cheering on their two favorite boys, so what do we say?" The announcer asked. The crowd cheered. I then looked at Chad; he was going to do it.

"WHAT TEAM?" He yelled his voice huge reaching the outreach of the crowd.

"WILDCATS!" The stadium not as loud yet, the whole top section were though, we were all screaming.

"WHAT TEAM?" He yelled again

"WILDCATS!" Much more louder and forceful

"WHAT TEAM?" Excitement ran through the room

"WILDCATS!"

"GETCHA' HEAD IN THE GAME!" The crowd was cheering, Troy and Chad running around the team, pumping their arms up in the air. I was laughing and taking picture, I also recorded the whole chant. Jenni joining along, I am guessing that they are still doing the chant to this day at their school. Chad made it up, I remember the day.

The announcer was laughing "I don't think this stadium has been this loud before! Amazing!"

"Yes, that was amazing; now let's see what these two can do."

When they all lined up on the court, Chad in the center of course and Troy was off to his right, the ref blew the whistle and tossed the bowl, Chad gained possession and tipped it to Troy, who passed it to Luke, which went to Kobe and back to Troy who shot a three pointer, I had that on video too. Troy turned around and pointed at me and winked, he dedicated it to me, I was totally in love. I cheered and watch the first quarter intently, cheering every time they did something. The score at the end was 26-22, Lakers.

"Alright, time for the kiss cam!" The announcer said I looked as they did some of the East High kids, they did a few other people and then, of course Troy's picture showed up. Along with a mystery box, the team all shot my looks, Troy looked up and grinned, he bounced forward and pulled me into his arms, he planted a sweet quick kiss on my lips.

"You're doing great wildcat" I whispered against his lips

"Thanks please slow day and take it easy okay?" He said kissing me once more. The whole stadium was awing; I was blushing a deep red.

"Wow! Aren't those two cute?" I looked down and Troy was back on the floor, I was blushing a deep red. Troy sent me a quick wink and the second quarter started.

We watched the next three quarters go by, I cheered at every point Troy made, and right now the score was neck and neck, 89-88. Lakers were in the lead, less than a minute left on the clock, Troy had sweat covering his face. It dripped onto the floor and it was gross.

The other team took it down court for a basket; I was on the edge, biting my nails. We had 13 seconds to score, we passed it, from Chad, to Kobe, to Luke, to Troy, Troy was at the three point line but blocked heavily, he bounced passed it to Chad who was on the other side of the three point line, he jumped and right as the buzzer went off, it swished through the net, the whole arena erupting into craziness, wildcats chant going again. Troy and Chad hugged each other. The final score was 91-90. Taylor and I were screaming I took a quick picture of the scoreboard; we then filed out quickly and raced towards the locker room.

Once inside we were all talking, chattering about the game. We then saw the door open; I saw Troy was the third one back. When he stepped through I raced into his arms.

"That was amazing!" I screamed, he chuckled and picked me up, he swung me around and then planted my on my feet.

"Only because of you" He whispered

"And everybody else in this room." I said he then pulled me into a kiss, my chest against his body. It was all wet, I was disgusted. I pulled back.

"Troy…go change" I mumbled, the room around me laughed. Troy then looked up and I knew exactly what he was going to do.

"Hey Jenni, come here" He said, she raised an eyebrow and then walked closer.

"Why…"

"Just come here" He said, I slapped my hand to my forehead, Jenni don't listen I was screaming inside my head.

"Uh okay?" But when she was in arms reach of him he pulled her into a hug, she squealed and tried to squirm out but he was to strong and she was just making it worse. The whole room was watching and laughing.

"Aw Jenni I love you!" He said setting her down.

"Yeah, love you to." She mumbled the front of her shirt wet that was a little gross.

"Troy go change! Come on!" I said, he rolled his eye and then kissed my cheek. He then disappeared towards the shower Chad following close behide. I turned to the group; I smiled and looked at all of them.

"Alright, go lead everybody to our house and get all set up ok? They can spill into the backyard if needed, don't turn on music quiet yet, also I will text Sharpay 5 minutes from the house." I said, they all nodded their heads and all filed out of the room.

"And Jenni?" I said, she stopped and turned around,

"Yeah?" she asked

"Change your shirt, that sick" I mumbled, she rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Will do Gabs" I nodded and smiled, I turned and looked at Taylor, and we both squealed and wrapped each other in a hug. This was going to be perfect.

"Girls, Girls, get a hold of yourself" Matt said coming out, fully dressed I turned to him and quickly looked around.

"You know the drill right? We will stall but get your asses there" I whispered, he nodded and grabbed Luke who was standing by the door; they all started to file out.

"The guys left awful quick" Troy said as he walked back out of the shower area, a towel around his waist. My eyes were fixed on his well tones abs. I nodded my head, my eyes not leaving his chest. I heard him laugh which brought me out of my state.

"Do you like what you see?" He asked, he winked and then started to put clothes on. Darn…

After ten minutes they were both ready to go, I grabbed Troy's hand and led him to the car. Chad and Taylor close behide.

"Hey, do you wanna go out to dinner?" Troy asked I started to panic; I turned and looked at him.

"Why not tomorrow, I am super tired" I said, he bent down and then kissed my lips.

"Of course, tomorrow probably works better anyways." He said I got into the passage side of the car while he got in on the driver's side. Chad and Taylor both got in and we all buckled up.

"Alright, you guys were amazing!" Taylor said gushing; I giggled and nodded my head in agreement.

"Well thanks!" Chad said Troy also nodded his head. He reached over and grabbed my hand, enlacing them together. I smiled as we drove closer towards our house.

I grabbed my cell phone and typed Sharpay our code word which was Wildcats. I got an ok back and then I smiled and squeezed Troy's hand.

"You ready?" I asked

"For what?"

"Oh for this fabulous dinner I made you and Chad" I said shooting a look back at Chad.

"Dinner?" He said, I rolled my eyes and looked back at Troy.

"Is that why you didn't want to go out to dinner tonight?" He asked a smile placed on his face.

"Maybe…" I said, when we pulled up to the house, I saw no cars. I mean none. Where did they all hide their cars? I shook my head, when Troy shut the car off I jumped up and shut the car door.

"Easy Brie! Be careful of the baby!" Troy said scolding; I rolled my eyes and reached for his hand. Taylor doing the same with Chad.

As we stepped up the steps Troy was rubbing my arm, I smiled and winked at him as I opened the door. It was quiet, I mean like really quiet. You gotta love Sharpay.

"Damn Brie, who turned all the damn lights out? Don't you usually keep some on for Oreo?" He asked, I giggled as he flipped on the switch.

"SURPRISE!" Everybody yelled jumping out of their spots, from closets, behide doors, couches, from the stairwell, kitchen from all over people were spilling out. Troy was beyond shocked.

"Gabi!" He yelled he picked me up once again, this time I wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my head into his shoulder. I laughed as I heard Chad whispering to Taylor.

"This is wonderful! How did you do this?" He asked after setting me down, I looked over at Taylor.

"It was mostly Taylors…"

"Now, now Gabi don't give me a lot of credit, you did more work than me" She said, her arms wrapped around Chad's waist.

"Gabi…were you doing more than should be?" Troy asked I rolled my eyes once again.

"Calm Troy, I did most of it on bed rest, like the planning and everything but besides that, Taylor did it." I said, he nodded and then kissed my lips.

"I am going to say hi to everybody, I will put my phone on vibrate if you need me. Ok?" He said, I nodded and he filtered out into the crowd. I sighed and headed towards the kitchen; I grabbed a piece of food on the way and made my way of to the stereo. I plugged my iPod in and then started the music; it blasted through the house, much needed over all of the voices.

I then started my way around to people, passing Jenni who was making out with a boy, which I told her not to do here with her dad and Troy in the same room, so she ended up in the backyard. Jack and Lucille were dancing around talking to different people. I saw some old classmates, a few teachers, and some current students were here. When I turned around, I saw a teacher I never thought I see again.

"Mrs. Darbus?" I asked she had a scarf wrapped around her neck, just like the old days.

"Gabriella Montez! It's so nice to see you and pregnant!" She exclaimed I nodded my head and a smile.

"Yep, I am 24 weeks." I said she nodded her head a beer in her hand, a huge surprise.

"Are you still teaching?" I asked she nodded her head once again; I tried to hide my surprise as well as possible.

"Nice, is the drama department still doing well?"

"It hasn't been the same Ms. Montez, it's been really different since you guys nobody really wants to anymore, and they can't live up to your legends"

"Brie!" I turned around to see Troy coming my way, when he walked up he kissed me on the lips, a nice kiss.

"Now, Mr. Bolton do I need to give you a detention for PDA?" Mrs. Darbus joked, I pulled back giggling. Troy's face pure shock, I grabbed his hand.

"Mrs. D! How is life?" He asked, turning around, his blue eyes shining.

"Good, very good! Now you played an amazing football game!" She said, I giggled at Troy's face.

"Basketball, Mrs. D, basketball" He mumbled, I kissed his cheek and then walked away leaving him with her. I then ran into Mr. Fulton.

"Ms. Montez! How are you?" He asked I nodded my head.

"Good, very pregnant but good!" I said rubbing my stomach, he nodded his head and then turned and looked around.

"Still at the club?" I asked

"Yep, you should all come down this summer, free of course" He said quickly, I smiled.

"Of course not! We would have to pay! And maybe, we'll see." I said he nodded.

"Well, have a good night" I said he nodded and then I walked off.

This is how it went for a few hours, catching up with people here and there, ran in Jimmy the Rocket and some others who made me laugh, at one point in the night Troy ended up slipping his arm around my waist and he hasn't left yet. I looked towards the clock and it was 1:30. I sighed and leaned against Troy, my eyes shutting a little.

"Gabs, don't fall asleep quiet yet, ok?" He said, I nodded my head and then I heard Chad's voice.

"Everybody! Can I have you attention?" Chad called, I looked towards Troy who was smiling, and the group all looked towards Chad, the music cut.

"Now, I need Taylor Mekessie to come up here!" He yelled, what was Danforth doing? Troy and I walked closer to the two.

"Taylor, I have something to ask…" Chad started, I gasped and looked at Chad with wide eyes, and he wasn't!

"I feel like I am back in High School when I asked you to the prom in front of the whole cafeteria, now this is a little bigger, I mean a lot bigger. Taylor you are my everything, from my first breath to my last breath of the day, you are the first person I think of when I shoot a basket. I must say you cook the best food…besides Zeke's of course" Chad gained a few laughs throughout the room. "Also when the sports person asked me about you and Troy told all this stuff about Gabriella, well I first asked you out on August 15th at 6:52 pm, and the first words out of your mouth were 'Well, would it be casual or formal, Danforth'" Chad said laughing.

I looked at Taylor who was about to cry, Chad was smiling. "Taylor, you are my life, I love you and you are my favorite girl in the friggin world!" The room laughed, and then it got quite quickly.

"Taylor Mekessie, will you marry me?" Chad asked, getting down on one knee, I gasped and Taylor gasped, Taylor was in tears.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She kept repeating, the whole room erupted in applause, Chad got up and effulged Taylor in a hug. He spun her around and then set her down, her slipped the ring on her finger and then he kissed her, I laid my head back on Troy's chest, his hand rubbing my tummy.

"You wanna go to be now?" He asked, I shook my head and broke free from him. I walked up to Taylor and she turned around.

"Gabi! I am going to get MARRIED!" She screamed, I giggled and brought her into a hug.

"Congratulations!" I whispered she hugged back.

"Thanks Gabs" I backed off and then I walked back to Troy.

"Let's go to bed Wildcat" I whispered, tired.

"Come on baby girl" He said into my ear, Troy helped me up the stairs and into bed, in t-shirts and shorts.

"You played good Wildcat, I love you wildcat" I said
