RRRRRRRRRRRIIINNNNNNGGG!!!!!!
"Finally!" Gabriella shouted as she stood from her desk and grabbed her backpack off the floor.
It was finally the last day of school and no one could be any happier than Gabriella. With all the awkward run ins with Troy and her friends all giving her the cold shoulder about the breakup, let's just say she couldn't wait to get out of here.
Gabriella quickly exited the classroom and pushed past all the students that were hugging and saying goodbye in the hallway.
"People are trying to walk here!!" she shouted at one group in particular that had just bumped into her and pushed her into the lockers on the opposite wall. They just stared at her but didn't attempt an apology. After a few seconds Gabriella gave up and walked off in the opposite direction making her way to her locker.
As she rounded the corner and her locker came into view, something else came into view or should she say someone... none other than Troy Bolton was heading her way.
"He looks so good" Gabriella thought to herself, "Wait no he doesn't he looks like a lying cheating asshole" She thought again as she put her trademark frown into place, it was the same one that she wore anytime Troy was in seeing distance of her.
Gabriella just ignored his attempts to catch her eye and made a beeline towards her locker. She was fiddling with the combination when she felt a familiar warmth fill her, and she knew that he had to be really close.
"Hey Gabby" she heard as she jumped and clutched her hand to her chest.
"Christ... Bolton, don't you know you shouldn't sneak up on people like that?"
"Sorry Gabby.. I didn't mean to scare" but he stopped in mid sentence as he glanced down at her shoulder "Gabby, what happened?"
"Huh?" Gabby asked as she too saw her shoulder... It was pretty badly bruised, she hadn't even noticed that it even hurt since she saw Troy.
"Oh that" She said " Some kids bumped me into the lockers"
"Who?" He started looking angrily around the hall, but stopped short when he saw Gabby glare at him.
"Why do you even care, shouldn't you be off with Sharpay somewhere?" She said starting to get annoyed with him and his over protectiveness, he didn't have any right, not after what he did to her.
"What? Sharpay?? Gabby I don't know what you are talking about" He shouted starting to get angry himself "I just came over to make polite conversation with you, but it seems like you don't even want to try to be friends"
"Troy, I guess you're not as dumb as you look then huh?" Gabby said as she slammed her locker and stalked off in the direction of the exit. She didn't even look back to see the hurt look in Troy's eyes as he just stared at her retreating form.
Gabriella was still fuming when she threw her backpack into the back of her car and jumped in slamming the door.
"Gees what's wrong with you?" Said a female voice from behind the car.
"What the hell? Oh hey Tay" She said calming down as her friend climbed into the passenger seat.
"So I'm thinking from the look on your face that you had a run in with lunkhead basketball man?" Taylor said as she glanced at her friend's face and saw the scowl on her face deepen if that was possible.
"You thought right" She said as she grabbed her keys and shoved them in the ignition starting the car.
"Wanna talk about it?" Taylor asked but didn't continue as she felt the car go into gear and heard the tires start to squeal as they took off. "Guess that would be a no" She said quietly so Gabby couldn't hear.
The rest of the car ride was silent, but Taylor didn't really mind because when Gabby was mad she got free reign of the radio. Gabby looked over at Taylor lip-syncing and gyrating in the seat next to her and tried not to laugh.
"Hey was that an almost smile I just saw on your face?" Taylor asked grinning at her friend who she could tell was having trouble trying to stay mad.
"No, Gabby said as she tried to wipe the smile from her face. "Okay maybe it was" She squealed as she started giggling.
They stopped giggling as they pulled to a stop in front of Taylor's house.
"Thanks for the ride Gabby, just call me if you need to vent about Troy okay" Taylor said as she started to climb out of the car
"I will, thanks Tay, see you later" Gabby called as she pulled away and sped towards her house.
She pulled into the driveway going a bit too fast just in time to see her mother exiting the house. "Oh great" Gabby thought to herself. "Now I'm going to get grounded too, could this day get any worse?"
"Gabriella Marie!!!" She heard her mom shout as she winced.
"Yes Mama?" She replied in the sweetest voice she could muster.
"You could have killed someone going that fast" She shouted as Gabby climbed out of the car wearing a look that said I just had the worst day ever.
"I know Mama and I'm sorry" She said. "I just had a little fight with Troy today and I guess my mind wasn't really on driving" She said hoping her mom would take pity on her.
"Troy... Well just don't let it happen again, but as a punishment you are not aloud to go out tonight understood?" She said looking at her daughter sternly.
"Of course Mama... it won't happen again" She replied as she made her way towards the house. Truth is going out was the last thing she wanted to do anyway so her mother hadn't even really punished her.
Gabby made her way upstairs and crashed on her bed...she felt so tired. Then again she always felt drained after a fight with Troy. They had been broken up for 4 months and yet at least once a week she felt like this. "Why did you cheat on me Troy?" Gabby thought to herself as she slipped into a slumber where she dreamed that her and Troy were together and Sharpay was dead.
