Ring Ring Ring!
Ryan sighed as math class ended and everyone started to gather their books and bags and move onto the next class. Math wasn't his strong point, and he it found extremely boring, so he was always glad when it was over.
"Oh, Ryan?" He glanced up at his math teacher, Mrs. Simmons. "Can I speak to you before you leave?"
"Ooooo…" Chad started to chant, until Taylor walked up and slapped him on the shoulder. "You are so immature sometimes!" Ryan heard her say as she dragged him out of the room.
"Good luck buddy." Troy said, putting his arm around Ryan before running to catch up with Chad and Taylor.
Ryan walked up to Mrs. Simmons desk and meekly said, "You-you wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes it's about…" She stopped as Gabriella ran back into the room and put a paper on her desk.
"That's the test you had me do." She said and started walking towards the door. Before she left she called to Ryan, "Save you a seat Ry." He nodded and turned back to his teacher.
"As I was saying, it's about your math grade." She said and handed him a math test. He sighed as he saw the letter he was all too acquainted with. "This is your fourth F this month Ryan." She said plainly.
He just stared at his test, not sure what to say. He knew he was bad at math, he was reaching the point of not caring anymore. His dad had warned him of this, but math really wasn't Ryan's bestest buddy anymore. (Even though it never really was.)
"Now Ryan, this really isn't good, and I know you aren't happy with this."
"Well what do you want me to do?" He said. "I'm just not good at math!"
"Ryan, I think you just have trouble concentrating…" He studied his face intently and explained. "You just distracted easily, very easily." She got up and signaled him to follow. She started to walk out of the room and continued saying, "I talked with your parents and I think we have a solution."
Oh no, they're going to put me in a special class! He thought, but asked what she meant anyways.
"We were thinking you could have a tutor help you after school's until your grades come up a little."
"A little?" He questioned.
"Okay a lot." She confessed.
"Who would tutor me?" He asked, hoping it wasn't some nerdy kid who smelt like thrift stores.
"I've chosen someone, but you're free to choose someone else if you want." She said, but he really wished she would get on with it. "Your parents and I chose Miss Montez." She said walking down the corridor some more.
"Gabriella?" He asked, striding to catch up.
"Yes, she is best in her class, and you two are friends, correct?" She asked him.
"Uh, ya!" He said. If only we could be more then friends… He thought to himself.
"Good, then this shall work out quite nicely!" She finished their conversation and scurried down to the teacher's lounge.
"Gabriella at my house everyday after school?" He asked himself, as if he were just finding out about it now. He smiled and did a little victory dance. He would have kept doing it until someone tapped him on the shoulder. He yelped and turned around to find his sister.
"What are you dancing around for?" She asked.
"Sharpay, you will not believe what just happened!" He said excitedly.
"Zac Efron asked for my phone number?" She asked, knowing this wasn't what he was excited about.
"No."
"Losing Interest…"
"Mrs. Simmons just said that Gabriella's going to tutor me in math until my grades go up!" He said and started doing a miniature version of his victory dance.
"Congratulations Ryan, your first kind of date!" She said patting him on the shoulder. He pushed her hand away and she started grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Ryan's face immediately turned into a frown as he said, "How come every time you smile like that I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach?"
"Ryan, if that Troy-stealing-perfect-math-wiz Gabriella is busy tutoring you at our house, who will be with Troy?"
Ryan shrugged. "Chad, why?"
Sharpay slapped him on the shoulder. "No Ryan, the answer I was looking for was moi." She smiled and grabbed his arm and started dragging him towards the lunch room. "I'm finally getting together with Troy, I just know it!"
And I'll finally get to talk to Gabriella by myself…
Welp, that be my first chapter. It's more of a prologue actually. So as you can see, it may have a little Troypay off to the side for the sole fact that it works with the plot. Tell me what you think and I'll be sure to get the next chapter up in the next week or so. Toodles!
