Next day...

{lunch: cafeteria}

Chad: Troy! Hey,

One of the boys: Hey, Troy!

Troy didn't sit at the table. Me and Chad looked at each other and then looked Taylor, who was looking at us too, we got up and we went over to her to talk.

After Chad, Taylor, and I talked, me, Chad, Zeke, and Jason went to find Troy.

{rooftop}

Eventually we found him.

Chad: Hey, um... We just had another team meeting

Troy: Oh... wonderful,

Chad: We had a team meeting about how we haven't been acting like a team,

Aaliyah: And not acting like a good cheerleader and captain

Chad: we mean us, not you

Aaliyah: Yeah. About the singing thing...

Troy: I don't even wanna talk about it

Chad: We just want you to know that we're gonna be there. Cheering for you

Troy: Huh?

Zeke: If singing is what you wanna do, we should boost you up, not tear you down,

Chad: Yeah, Win or lose, we're teammates. That's what we're about. Even if you turn out to be the worst singer in the world

Jason: Which we don't know, because we
haven't heard you sing

Troy: You're not gonna hear me sing, guys. Because Gabriella won't even talk to me... and I don't know why

Aaliyah: (winces) Who's going to tell him

Chad: We do

Zeke: I baked these fresh today. You'll probably want to try one before we tell you the rest

We tell Troy about our we had, while Taylor is my sister.

{time skip}

{night time: at home} {Aaliyah is her pajamas btw}

I'm in the kitchen making me a snack, while my mom is in the dining room doing some work. I hear someone knocking on the door and my mama goes to open it.

Troy: Hi, uh... Just came to say I'm sorry. Hi, Miss Montez, I'm Troy Bolton,

Gabriella comes downstairs to see who's at the door.

Miss Montez: Oh, Troy!

Gabriella: (mouths) No

Miss Montez: Um... Gabriella is kind of busy with
homework, so now's not a good time

Troy: I made a mistake, Miss Montez, and I
would really like to let Gabriella know that. Could you tell her I came by to see her?

Miss Montez: I will... Troy. Good night

Troy: Good night. Thank you

Troy leaves. I look at my mama and she looks at me.

Aaliyah: He is so down bad for Gabs

Miss Montez: You have to tell me twice (laughs)

Aaliyah: Ya me voy a la cama, buenas noches mamá [I'm going to bed, good night mama] (kisses her cheek)

Miss Montez: Buenas noches mi mariposa [Good night my butterfly] (kisses her cheek)

Aaliyah leaves the kitchen, with her snack, and goes to her room.

{Aaliyah's room}

{phone ringing}

Aaliyah: Hello?

Chad: Hey Liyah

Aaliyah: Hey Cha- cha, what's up?

Chad: Nothing much just worried about Troy

Aaliyah: Oh he'll be ok, he's my house apologizing to Gabriella

Chad: Oh yeah, then he'll be ok

Chad and I talk for a little bit longer, about an hour or two, and we hang up, then I go to sleep.

Next day...

• Aaliyah's cheer practice outfit^

The girls and I were working on cheer routine for the championship game, while the boys were practicing.

(whistle blows, players yelling)

Colton Bolton: Whoo

Troy: Yeah!

{locker room}

The girls and I were changed after practice, then all of a sudden, I see Troy running out of the locker room in a hurry.

Aaliyah: He must really want to sing

The boys, the cheerleaders, and I laugh, and went on to change.
