Two Against The World
Meeting the new student
As summer was over, Gabriella had to change school once again, because she didn't have a real family. Her dad left her mum when she was a baby so Gabi never knew her father not in even from pictures because her mother had destroyed every single picture that had to do with her father. Her mum always came home wasted and every night a different would sleep at their apartment that for Gabriella was a party house. For Gabi, her mum seems to forget that she had a girl, and that is why Gabi left home when her mum wasn't home and she didn't even went out to search for her and Gabi was glad that she didn't have to see her mum again.
She stepped in the school and noticed that there were a lot of bitchy kids/girls looking at her and giving her glances. She took a deep breathe and went straight to her dorm where she found her roommate, Taylor McKessie.
"Hello, I'm Gabriella Montez," she said shaking her hand with Taylor's.
"Hello, I'm Taylor McKessie, nice to meet you!" Taylor replied.
"Pleasure's mine," Gabi said with all her smartness.
"Welcome to East High!" Taylor said. "Would you like a tour around the school?"
"Thank you and I might take you up on that offer!" Gabi smiled.
"Good because I like helping people! I'm glad I am your roommate." Taylor replied with a smile on her face.
"I'm glad too." Gabi said.
The whole day was filled with looks that Gabi didn't like at all. People were gossiping about her. She had to admit it, she was scared, and no wait she was terrified. As she was walking through the corridor with Taylor, a boy with piercing blue eyes, a muscular arms and a million dollar smile, caught her eye and stopped.
"Tay, who's that?" Gabi asked looking at Taylor than at Troy.
"OH, that is East High's superstar and charmer. Every girl is totally crazy about him and when he is dating someone, all the girls would be totally pissed. That charmer is none other than Troy Bolton." Taylor said looking at Troy.
"He's cute…" Gabi said smiling.
"He is in fact. That's why girls like him. He hasn't got a problem with dating. The guy is filthy rich. His dad is the P.E. teacher and the basketball coach. They even own a hotel, The Mirage Hotel." Taylor said looking at Gabi.
Gabi gasped. "No way, my cousin works there but we don't talk that much so…"
"A lot of people say that he is spoiled because he is an only child, but from my point of view ha looks quite a normal guy like everyone else." Taylor said with confidence.
"Yeah he isn't that bad……but wait how do you know anything about him?" Gabi asked confused.
"It's because I am dating his best friend, Chad Danforth, and we had been hanging out. We are like brother and sister. He is so open with me. And tomorrow I'll introduce you guys." Taylor exclaimed.
"I bet he doesn't want to meet me. I mean I am new and I had no friends back at home so who the heck wants to be my friend??" Gabi asked sadly.
"I am officially your friend form now onwards and you can tell me anything that is bothering you and I see if I can help you in anyway possible." Taylor said assuring.
"Thank you so much. You don't know how much that means to me." Gabi said hugging Taylor.
"If you ever need anything I am here waiting for you to talk, ok?" Taylor asked.
"Ok, no problem." Gabi said.
The next day before class starts, Taylor and Gabriella went over to meet Chad and Troy.
"Hey Chad!" a smiling Taylor said.
"Hey honey, who is this girl?" Chad asked looking at Gabi.
"She is a new student here at East High and my roommate and best friend." Taylor replied smiling.
"Hello, I'm Gabriella Montez, call me Gabi. Gabriella is only when I'm in trouble."
They all laughed at her before Chad and Troy introduced themselves.
"Hey Gabi, I'm Chad a basketball player." Chad said shaking hands with Gabi.
"Hey, I'm Troy a basketball player." Troy said, flashing winning smile at Gabi which made her melts.
"Oh I've heard a lot about you guys from Taylor."
"You better said good things about us or else you'll pay," Troy said jokingly.
"Oh don't worry I just told her some secrets about you guys and some dumb situations you guys were in." Taylor said smiling.
"You better start running if you don't want to pay the consequences," Troy said back.
"Oh don't worry you guys. She said the best things anyone can ever say about you. I'm glad I had got to meet you." Gabi said smiling looking at Troy and Chad but mostly at Troy since she was having a tinsy bit of a crush on him. "I heard you got an amazing basketball team, how's that going on?" Gabi asked with full concern.
"We have but we are trying to make it better and better everyday. We have the Basketball championship in 2 weeks and we are working really hard on it." Chad said smiling.
"That's great and don't worry I'll be cheering for you guys. I'll be present at the game watching you kick some butt and holding up tour trophy." Gabi said giggling.
"We appreciate your presence. Now let's go to class before Darbus kills us. Which class do you have Gabs?" Troy said, coming up with a nickname for her.
"Homeroom with Darbus. I better get going. I'll see you later guys." Gab said walking towards her class.
"Hey Gabs wait up." Troy yelled which caused Gabi to look back.
"What's up?" Gabi asked as she turned around to see Troy.
"I have the same class so I thought it would be great if we walked together t our class." Troy said smiling.
"Well thank you, Troy." Gabi said. "Oh and that nickname I like."
"Good because you have to stick with it." Troy said as thy entered the class causing the students to look at them as they walked in together. They ignored it and sat down. Troy was feeling something that he never felt before when he was around girls. What he didn't know was that Gabi felt the exact same way. They sat down and the lesson started.
As the homeroom was over, Troy had free period and Gabi had English. Troy walked Gabi to her class and after he went to meet his friends. As English was over for Gabi, she went to her locker and she opened it she found a note that said….
Hey Gabi, I know we haven't talked that much together but I really want to meet you and be friends with you. If you would take my offer meet me after school at the gym. Don't forget and please this stays between us for now.
A friend xxx
Gabi was confused when she read the note and who signed it. She was nervous a lot to meet this person who she didn't even know. At lunch she sat down wit Taylor, Chad and Troy and some other guys.
"Have any plans for after school??" Taylor asked Gabi.
"I found a mysterious note in my locker." Gabi replied cautiously.
"What was in the note?" Taylor asked again.
"It said that this person wanted to meet me to know me better." Gabi said looking down.
"So, they didn't even sign their name?" Chad asked concerned.
"No, they signed a friend. I only talked to you and only you are my friends as far as I know." Gabi said confused about what to do.
"And what are you going to do??" Troy talked for the first time, quietly.
"I don't know. I mean maybe this is a guy and is going to take advantage of me because I'm going to be alone……..ugh, I'm so confused." Gabi sighed deeply and was lost deeply in thoughts. It was the ringing of the bell that caused Gabi to realize she was in deep thoughts.
Classes were finally done and Gabi went to meet this person cautiously. She stood there for about 5 minutes and no one showed up so she decided to leave until someone talked to her.
"Hey Gabi, where are you going?" the mysterious person said and as Gabi looked at the person, she was in total shock.
