Chapter 1

GABI POV

"So I'd like to make an announcement, as you all know Mrs Hill left last year so now I'd like to introduce you to our new head of RE, Mr Bolton" The headmaster boomed into the microphone, to the packed auditorium full of girls.

"He better be cute!" Sharpay whispered into my ear causing me to roll my eyes, typical Shar.

Mr Bolton took a step onto the stage causing every girl to gasp, even me.

He was perfect. His hair slightly tousled but not too messy, even from the middle of the hall I could see the piercing blue eyes, his suit fit his toned body perfectly.

"So hi girls, as you know I'll be replacing Mrs Hill in the RE department and I'll also run help clubs every Thursday lunch time along with Miss Bell if anyone needs any help, I've met some of you already and I can't wait to start teaching" He said with a slight smile before taking a step away from the microphone, Mr Bartlett started rambling on about one of his usual rants about, well I don't know...

I sighed to myself, the trouble with going to an only girls school was now every girl would do whatever they could to get this Mr Boltons attention, I could see the desire in their eyes, pathetic. Though I must admit he wasn't bad looking at all. Stop it Gabriella I thought to myself, he's probably married with kids, you're just starting to sound like all these other girls. I glanced at Sharpay who was slowing licking her lips and slightly headslapped her.

"Gabi, what was that for!" Shar whined causing Mr Addams to glare at us warningly.

"Stop drooling over him, he's probably married!" I whispered furiously.

"Oh relax Gabs, there's no ring on his finger, gosh you're no fun anymore".

I just pouted acting hurt at Shar, until she whispered "I didn't mean it Gabs"

"Oh I know" I said smirking at her.

Once the assembly finished we hurried back to homeroom to collect our timetables and to settle down into the new term. Being the fastest to hurry out of assembly we were also the first in homeroom, so we grabbed the only row of 5 at the back for Me, Shar, Tay, Kels and Martha, my four bestest friends ever not including the boys who went to a separate school, sometimes I missed them but honestly I loved spending time with my girls.

Once everyone else piled into the room Ms Darbus began one of her long speeches on the theatre and arts, or whatever she liked talking about, I never really paid any attention at all to what she said.

"So here are your timetables for this year, our last year all together before you all desert me to lead those very important roles in the lives you will change and to face those very difficult challenges that you must overcome" Ms Darbus over dramatically announced, though I do admit I will miss her when we're gone.

I glanced out of the window next to my seat to see Mr Bolton with his new year 7 tutor group, wow unlucky him year 7s were the absolute worst, they were cocky, childish and just completely annoying, ugh and then the year 8s don't even get me started on them, just because you're a year 8 doesn't mean-

Sharpay interrupted my thoughts "Gabs, Gabs Gabs are you there"?

"Huh oh right yeah I uhm-" I muttered.

"Zoned out, Gabs read your timetable!" Sharpay squealed excitedly.

"Okay" I replied glancing through it.

"Maths Mrs Hurlow,"

"Woo me too" Sharpay clapped.

"English Ms Darbus"

"Yay"

"RE Mr Bolton" I said slightly thrilled, something about him intrigued me but I couldn't quite put my finger on it..

"Dammit, Mr Gunn oh well still a hottie" She replied winking.

The rest of the conversation was pretty much reading out timetables in our little group discussing what lessons we had together, only Tay had RE with me which was a shame really, RE could be so boring sometimes.

The rest of the week went pretty quickly until it got to Friday, the day I had RE..

As Tay and I walked into the class everyone else had already taken a seat.

"Sorry we're late, Mr Blair let us out reaaaaally late" I apologised feeling bad already.

"Its fine" He replied not breaking eye contact, wow his eyes were so blue and well perfect.

Tay and I quickly slipped to the last two seats at the back of the room.

This should be an interesting lesson.
