Bet On It.
Chapter One – Not Your Typical Cheerleader
"Hi, I'm Chad." Chad Danforth grinned at the pretty brunette in front of him.
"Gabriella." She nodded.
"So you wanna go out sometime?" He grinned.
"Um, no thanks, but it was sweet of you to ask." She smiled at him gently then walked off with about three girls following her.
"There's no way she can be cheerleading captain!" Chad groaned to his best friend, and most popular boy at school, Troy Bolton.
Troy laughed. "How come?"
"Well she's like really kind, but so so hot."
"And she's a cheerleader?" Troy asked, shocked.
"She's captain dude."
"No way, that's that girl I've been checking out all the time in practise?"
"Ahuh. I bet she wouldn't even say yes to a date with you." Chad grinned.
"Oh really. Fifty bucks she will." Troy smirked, holding his hand out to his best friend.
"Hold on there, she has to say yes to a first AND second date."
"Whatever man, she'd say yes to a third and fourth as well."
"If you say so. Four dates – no way." Chad laughed as they both shook on it.
"I'll just put on the Bolton charm, it works every time." He winked then walked off to the gym.
--
"OKAY GIRLS!" Gabriella shouted over the noise of gossiping cheerleaders. The gym went quiet.
"Nationals are in two weeks! This is our chance, so we really need to work on our routine!" She smiled.
"Gabriella, with you as our captain – were so going to win!" Emily exclaimed.
"Aw thanks Emily, hopefully your right – it would be awesome to win! Now, I'm just going to run you through a few moves we have to pin down for Nationals okay?" Everyone nodded so Gabriella headed to the far end of the gym.
Troy walked in, hoping for the gym to be free so he could have a few period work out. He stopped in his tracks when he heard music blasting. He carried on walking then smirked.
Gabriella made sure the cheerleaders were watching her, and then began with a cartwheel. She then went into the splits then done a few cheers and some flips.
The music stopped then Gabriella turned round to see the girls all clapping.
Along with the girls was Troy Bolton. We walked out from the corner he was watching from, and then walked straight towards Gabriella.
"Nice moves." He grinned.
"Thanks. And you are?" She asked.
"You don't know who I am?" Troy asked, and then started laughing.
"Oh wait, I know – your Troy Bolton right?" She asked.
"Yep, that's me."
"I'm Gabriella." She smiled.
"So wanna spend your free period with me?"
"I've got a practise to take."
"How about lunch?"
"Um.. How about we just let fate decide? If we bump into each other, we do, but if we don't, we don't."
"Then I'll just have to make sure I bump into you then. See you." He winked.
"Bye Troy!!" Sarah squealed.
"Bye..?" He stood there for a while, trying to think of a name.
"Her names Sarah." Gabi sighed.
"Oh right. I knew that."
"I enjoyed last night, how about we do it again tonight?" She asked.
Troy shot a look at Gabriella, trying to make out he didn't know what she was on about.
Gabriella rolled her eyes then grabbed her pompoms.
"Troy!" Sarah hissed.
"Sure, whatever." He nodded then walked out.
--
"Gabriella Montez?!" Zeke laughed as Chad told him about his morning.
"Of course she wouldn't go out with you. She might be a cheerleader, but she doesn't just go out with anyone." He continued.
"Troy think's he can get four dates off her." Chad muttered.
"I don't even know if that's possible. I had a date with her last year. It was one of the best dates ever – but she doesn't give them out to just anyone." He warned.
"How did you get one then?" Chad laughed.
"Ha-ha. She was in my art class. May I add she's an amazing artist as well. Well we got along really well, so I asked her out. She said yes. She only says yes to people she trusts. Were still good friends actually."
"How the hell is she a cheerleader?" Chad groaned.
"Hey guys." Troy said dumping his tray down beside Chad.
"Got your first date yet?" Chad smiled.
"Nah, this might take longer than I thought."
"Well good, cos you have till Spring Fling."
"Spring Fling!? Chad that's not long away!" Troy cried.
"Tell you what, to make it more interesting, fifty bucks for four dates, I'll add another fifty if you can get her to go to the dance with you."
"I can't stick to one girl for that long."
"Well what about Sarah, see her on the side." Chad laughed.
"Who's Sarah?"
---
"So, are you seeing Troy?" Sharpay asked Gabriella.
"Whoa, no."
"What did he want at practise?" Taylor asked confused. Taylor and Sharpay were Gabriella's closest friends, and were also cheerleaders.
"I seriously have no idea, he seemed to be coming onto me though."
"Oh my god. You have to say yes!" Sharpay squealed.
"Shar, he's like the player at the school. You seen it earlier, he couldn't even remember Sarah's name, FROM LAST NIGHT?!"
"True. But he is so hot. I mean he's the hottest guy at this school. Possibly in the whole of New Mexico!" She giggled.
"Hey!" A voice said behind Gabi, making her jump.
She quickly turned around. "I wouldn't class this as bumping into me." She smiled.
"I know, I just wanted to see you." Troy said.
"How come?"
"What, can't a normal guy like me want to see the one of the hottest girl in school at lunch?"
Gabriella blushed. "Thanks for the complement, but I'm definitely not one of the hottest girls at this school.."
"Your right. You ARE the hottest girl at the school."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but why the sudden interest in me?"
Troy thought about it for a while. He had been checking her out for a while before the bet came along, but the bet give him more of an excuse to talk to her more anyway. "I've liked you forever Gabs."
"Gabs? Look, it's nice how you've just come out and said all this, but I'm not really looking for a boyfriend right now." She said sympathetically.
"How about a date for the dance?" He asked hopefully.
"Uh, how about I get back to you?" She suggested.
Troy, seeing her was getting nowhere with her right now, agreed then returned to his table.
"I swear, she must not be into guys to turn me down." He groaned.
"She turned you down?!" Zeke laughed.
"Well she used the whole, 'How about I get back to you?' and the 'I'm happily single'. She couldn't have made it more obvious."
"Harsh." Chad nodded.
"I'm going to have work harder than I thought with this one."
