Watching every move hurts.

Chapter 1

Gabriella was late for her first day of High School. This was the 14th High School she had been too. It was the fault of her Mum's job. They kept moving her and Gabi. Rushing to homeroom she collided head on with a solid object and her books and papers went flying. As she stretched for her chemistry textbook she touched another warm hand and looked up into the deep brown eyes of someone else.

'S…Sorry…' She managed to stutter as the boy stuck out his hand to help her to her feet.

'Its okay, I really should have been looking. I'm Will by the way. I haven't seen you around the halls of East High before..'

'I'm Gabriella, today is my first day.' Will smiled and nodded as if he understood. The second bell rang and the halls all around became frantic with people. 'I'm real sorry but I gotta go I dont want to be late for homeroom on my first day.'

'Oh ok, i'll catch you after school?' Gabriella didnt really want to, she thought she would have so much homework but one look into Will's eyes and all she could do was agree.

'Um..ok..' She shouted as she dissapeared into the crowd of people all rushing to get to class.

Mrs Darbus looked up from her desk as Gabriella entered the room.

'A little bit late are we Miss Montez?' She seemed annoyed and it was clear why. 'Oh it doesnt matter now just find a spare seat and we will finish off the notices.'

Gabriella took notes through homeroom, she put down a list of the clubs she wanted to join and then she cancelled them accoring to if she would get in. As the bell rang Mrs darbus called her and some boy called Bolton to the front.

'Gabriella here is your scedule and a map.' Mrs Darbus handed Gabriella 2 folded peices of paper. 'And this young man,' She pointed to the weird guy Bolton, 'is going to be showing you round.' Bolton ran a hand through his hair and put his hands in his pockets. He was obviously a jock. Gabriella didnt have a good experience with jocks they never liked her and she didnt think he would be different.

Mrs Darbus dismissed them from the classroom and they walked in silence to English. For Troy the silence was unbearable he really wanted to get to know her but didnt want to make it anymore awkward.

'So Bolton, your a jock right?' Gabriella felt bad inside. She didnt want the question to be so mean but it just came out that way.

'My names troy, and im the captain of the basketball team.' He said proudly. Gabriella blushed hard. She thought his name was Bolton.

'Im sorry for calling you Bolton, Troy.'

'Oh its fine, Darbus just likes using my surname instead of Troy. So Gabi, is it ok if I call you gabi?' Gabriella nodded, this nickname was better than Freaky Math Girl. 'Welcome to East High.'

Gabi POV

Troy seemed like a really nice guy but he was still a jock. Yes, I steriotype but its out of experience! In so many of my last schools, there have been cliques where jocks are top. I normally fall lowest of the low. Geek, Wannabe, Loser, Math Freak and now I just want to be Gabriella.

I kept working at a steady pace, lost in my own thoughts. Thats how it was until lunch. Everyone seemed to come alive at lunch. It was like the social event of the year. A tanned hand grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me to a table of...well normal looking people. They didnt seem like jocks or geeks or any group in between.

' I'm Taylor McKessie,' Said the tanned girl. 'And we are all members of the scholastic decathlon team.'

When she said this I couldnt help but smile, the principal obviously told them to look out for me aswell. 'I'm Gabriella Motez but some people call me Gabi.'

'Its great to meet you Gabi. Now down to buisness. Someone told us you had certain...skills.'

I looked at Taylor, confused at what she meant.

'Ruin the moment! Fine, Principle Xian (A/N:Totally made that up, if anyone knows his real name I would be happy to change it.) told us that you were good...well amazing at Math and that you really liked science. And we thought, why not ask you to join the team! So what do you say?'

The whole table were staring at me, hoping for me to say yes.

'Um...Okay.' 6 eager people jumped me and hugged me. And I tried hard to stand upright. Note for self: try not to get hugged by 6 people at one time, may cause lung failure or severe loss of balance. Taylor was just smiling at me, as if this was all part of her plan.

A/N: So? What do you think? Please review! Im desperate for them :) Exams are coming up soon so please dont hate me if I dont update. Tori x
