hey kiids[: i'm really busy with school and activites, so many apologies[: anyways, i'm trying to update as much as i can[:
Gabriella walked into East High with a big grin on her soft face. Her eyes twinkled a little more, her smile brightened every minute, and her laugh was more heartier then before. She hugged her books to her chest as she arrived to her locker.
"Okay, what's up?" Taylor asked, suspiciously as she raised an eyebrow in curiousity. "You've been smiling uncontrollably since you walked in."
Gabriella blushed and looked around the halls to make sure the coast was clear. "Well...I kissed Troy last night..." she squealed happily.
Taylor gasped, a little excited for her friend, but more worried. "Really! Wow..." she said, awkwardly. "Did you know he's still dating Ca---"
"And," Gabriella cut her off. "He wants me to wear his Jersey Friday. I mean, I've been crushing on him since the party...but I didn't imagine this to happen, you know? He's so sweet and he's so nice. He's...my best friend." She said, with a warm smile.
Taylor smiled back. She knew she couldn't ruin her friend's happiness rant. She just had to find out on her own. "Promise me, if anything horrible or weird happens, you can't blame it on me, okay? 'Cause this is my warning," she said, in a serious tone.
Gabriella nodded, a little confused. "Um, sure. Promise." she said, as the bell rang. "Let's get going," Gabriella said with a soft smile.
Passing through the halls, Gabriella walked quickly, with Taylor behind her. She couldn't help give everyone a warm smile. Every since that kiss, she couldn't stop smiling, she couldn't stop blushing, she couldn't stop thinking about Troy.
"A minute before the bell," Ms. Darbus said with a soft smile, as the two girls entered the classroom.
Gabriella slipped into her seat at the back of the class. Troy slowly turned around and they gave each other soft glances and bright smiles. Troy blushed and had a goofy grin on his face. Gabriella couldn't help but to blush back. Ms. Darbus tapped her nails on the desk, to warn the students about the upcoming announcements that were going to be noted on the intercom.
"Good Morning students! This is principal Matusi with the morning announcements. Today after school, the Chemistry Club will meet in the Chem Lab. Any students interested in joining the REBEL program, today's your last chance! Practices are normal as usual. Swimming tryouts are on Thursday. Friday is the Pep Rally! Cheerleaders, Basketball, Football, and much more. Girls, wear your guy's jersey to represent the school! Represent the school, in Red, White, and Gold! Thank you, Have a great day." the intercom said.
The class burst out into random conversation and discussions about the Pep Rally. Troy turned to Gabriella and they instantly broke out in smiles.
"Hey, Gabriella." Sharpay said, running to Gabriella's side.
Gabriella smiled. "Oh, hey Sharpay." she said. "What's up?"
She shrugged. "Oh, nothing really. You're going to Cheerleading, right?"
Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, can you tell?" she asked, with a smirk as she paused and posed her in uniform. It was red skirt with white and gold lining and top with 'WILDCATS' in white with gold lining.
Sharpay smiled. "I can't tell," she laughed. "Oh, okay, cool. 'Cause...I kinda want to watch Zeke play basketball...but, it'd be a better excuse to say I just wanted to see how Cheerleading was," she said with a smile.
Gabriella laughed as the two friends linked arms. "Okay, follow me."
Sharpay laughed as the two girls pushed the gym doors aside, revealing the basketball court. Players dribbled balls past each other and took free throws to the net. They blocked each other, stole the ball, and did a few fancy foot work too. Troy began to dribble the ball, once he and Gabriella locked eyes, they both instantly smiled. Seconds later, Carlie strutted to Troy's side, her hips shaking, her eyes batting. Gabriella slowly began to boil with jealousy. Carlie gently touched Troy's shoulder and they came into a conversation.
"Sometimes I find them cute...sometimes I don't." Sharpay said, with a shrug.
Gabriella looked at her friend and let out a small laugh. "What do you mean?"
"They're dating, hello?" Sharpay said, to her friend.
Gabriella knit her eyebrows and shook her head. "No, no, that's not poss--" she cut herself off when she turned to Troy and Carlie, who were locked in a soft kiss. Now she understood the reason behind Carlie's dirty looks.
Her vision became blurry, since her eyes filled with water. Her heart was crushed into a million pieces and stomped on. She felt anger arise inside her. Why didn't Troy just tell her straight up? Why didn't they break up? Why did he lie to her? Everything was lie. Why couldn't he just tell her? Was he just looking for a hook-up? Did he do this purposly? All these questions filled her head, and she didn't have the time to answer them.
Troy pulled away from the kiss and looked up to find Gabriella, but it was too late, she rushed out of the gym.
Gabriella ran out of the gym, into the empty halls. Her face began to feel wet, her knees began to feel tired, and her heart began to feel broken. She turned across the corner and fell into someone's arms.
"G-Gabriella?" It was Sam. He gently wrapped his arms around her as she wept into his shirt. "Shh, stop crying. Everything's going to be all right."
"I...I just want to go home." she mumbled through her tears.
Sam wiped away her tears. "Sh, let's go."
Once her and Sam left the school, her tears stopped flowing. Her tears began to dry up on her face. She began to develop hiccups on the car ride to her house and the only thing comforting her was Sam's had gently on her knee, in an attempt to comfort her. Gabriella didn't push him away. She cried just a little more and looked out the window.
"What was that?" Carlie scoffed, as she cocked her hip out to the side, watching Gabriella run out the gym. "She's such a drama queen."
Troy whipped his head toward her and slightly frowned. "Carlie, we need to talk."
"'Kay..." she said, seductively as she stepped closer to Troy and ran her fingers down his chest. "Let's talk...now..."
Troy frowned and stepped back, awkwardly. "Um, okay then. I think we should...break-up. I mean, now. I mean, forever."
Carlie giggled. "Aren't you playing hard to get?" she said, stepping closer to Troy.
"Carls, it's over. Now, get over it." Troy said, sternly as he dribble the basketball and made the shot.
"What do you mean 'it's over'? Ugh, it never began." Carlie scoffed before she scurried back to her cheerleading squad.
Troy ignored her and ran out of the gym. "Gabriella?" he called in the halls. He began to jog up and down, searching for her. He couldn't find her anywhere.
