The Broken Truth.

"Face it." A blonde spoke harshly to me.

"No! It can't be you're lying." I yelled back through the empty hallway.

"But I'm not, he loves me and he said you're just some girl that he's messing with while he was thinking about how to ask me out." The blonde argued.

The blonde you ask? Not some ordinary dumb blonde she's the ice queen at East High, the ultimate Drama Queen, and the Sharpay Evans… Sadly my confidence was already at an all time low before she came. Why? Well you see I have this boyfriend, and something happened recently and I need to tell him, but I don't know how he will react… Now Sharpay is saying he was just messing with me and doesn't care.

"Do you think he will be happy about this? No he won't… and what will you're mom think? She will be so disappointed. You will want to disappear, but it will be too late. If I were you, I would avoid the whole thing and leave, but I'm not because I'm not the one Troy's messed with." Sharpay spat at me… She had a point I have to admit. My boyfriend, Troy, probably won't like this news, and my mother… she will be disappointed. Maybe it would be best if I just disappeared. You ask how I got to talking to Sharpay about my problem? Well the thing is I was practicing to tell Troy, when she came out of no where and knew my secret.

"So what are you going to do?" She asked smirking.

"You're right Sharpay… No one will want me anymore. I have to leave…" I said like a mindless robot.

"Good girl, now you should probably get your school papers, pack and go live with a relative or something." Sharpay said. Deep down, I knew she was just trying to get rid of me but I agreed with her theories.

I nodded and walk to the principle's office. Since it just so happened to be the last day of school I told him my family was moving over the summer and mom needed me to pick up my records. He trusted me because I have always been a good girl. When I was done there the bell rang and school was out. I saw Troy coming towards me, and I knew this might be the last time we'll see each other, so I put on a smile and pretended nothing was wrong.

"Hey Gabs!" He said.

"Hi Troy." I replied to his cute grin.

"May I walk you home?" He asked.

"You sure may." I giggle softly. Most of the walk was quiet and filled with, 'did you say something?' At my doorstep he stopped and gave me a look of concern.

"Are you alright Gabi?" He asked.

"Yes I am just a bit tired and very glad school's out." I lied.

"Oh ok then… I guess I should be going, I'll call you." Troy said about to walk away but I pulled him back and kissed him passionately.

"Wow." He said.

"Yea wow… I love you." I said. He grinned at me and pulled me into another kiss.

"I love you too." He said. I slipped a note I wrote into his backpack and we finished our kiss.

"Bye." I said.

"Bye." He said back walking away.

(Troy's POV)

I walked home today and laid my backpack on the floor of my room. Tomorrow is the first day of summer and I can't wait for my summer with my girl and friends. Speaking of Gabriella… Why was she acting so weird? I lay down and fell asleep. When I woke in the morning I went through my backpack I dropped the day before. I put some locker stuff in my closet and then I ran into a note labeled my name. So I opened it.

My dearest Troy,

I love you so much but I guess you can't see that… Sharpay told me about you were just messing with me. I realize now that you had no reason to even talk to me. I was going to tell you something, but I decided against it because I knew no one would love me anymore… And I bet you're probably think that you can just come over to my house and tickle it out of me, but if you come…I wont be there. I left Troy, I'm leaving and I don't know where I am going. Don't bother coming after me, because I know I mean nothing to you. Sharpay got that through my head. I didn't want to believe her but then I asked myself why you would hang out with me, and I couldn't find one reason. Remember Troy, I love you forever, I guess I'll see you around.

With love always,

And forever,

Gabriella.

No… this can't be real. She wouldn't leave. Then my phone rang and I got up to answer it… the I.D. said, "Montez." I let out a sigh of relief and answered it.

"Hey Gabs." I said.

"Troy this isn't Gabriella… I was wondering if you had any clue where she was." Ms. Montez sounded frantic. Then that means this is all real.

"Hold on I'll be right over." I said grabbing the letter and driving off to the Montez household. When I got there I handed Ms. Montez the note and she started weeping.

"I don't know how Sharpay got it through her head that I was messing with her." I said.

"I hope she'll be alright." Ms. Montez said.

"So you aren't going to go find her?" I asked.

"No… even if I found her I could bring her back. Legally she is an adult because she just turned eighteen." Ms. Montez sighed.

"I wonder what she was going to tell me." I said.

"Why don't you go home… Maybe Gabriella with change her mind." Ms. Montez said.

"Alright." I said heading out the door. And as soon at I got home I did the one thing I havent done since my grandma passed away when I was seven… I wept. I cried all night long… Until the morning did I cease. I put on a good composure because I knew I had to tell the gang. As soon as they saw me and my puffy red eyes and my tear stained face, they knew something was terribly wrong…
