Q2A/N: It is 2:03 in the morning right now. Cool that I am devoted that much huh? I really know where I am heading with this story so I will be able to post again soon. I would really appreciate reviews and I do accept anonymous reviews so there is not excuse not to. I would even love a review with only one word like "good"!! R&R

P.S. This story is told in Gabriella's point of view.

I let my books hit the table with a "bang." I was definitely not in the mood to play a game of Troy Bolton's latest game. I don't really know why but Troy Bolton has it out for me. Sure I am just a deaf little geek but how is that supposed to upset Troy Bolton?

Taylor came and sat on the stool beside me in the chemistry lab-interrupting my thoughts. Taylor McKessie was my best friend and I could and did tell her absolutely everything. Taylor was the only person at East High who truly knew me. She asked to be my lab partner and I nodded my head in response. I loved chemistry and my grades reflected it, but I always picked Taylor as my partner unless she had a different partner.

I pulled out my small blue notebook so I could converse with Taylor. She took one look at the half-annoyed half-mad expression written across my Latina face and started speaking. "Troy Bolton trouble?"

I nodded and scribbled something down on my notebook with a pink pen for Taylor to read.

I would like to see things from his point of view but I just can't seem to shove my head that far up my ass. I wrote.

She read my reply.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about! She wrote back on my notebook.

We held back giggles.

"Montez! McKessie! Pay attention!" Mrs. Gibbons yelled at us. We hushed and slid back in our chairs.

Lunch came quickly—which I was glad for. I sat down at the table with the scholastic decathlon team including Taylor. I read all of their lips and figured out that they were talking about the compition. They said that it had been moved to two weeks from Friday so we needed to meet every Thursday after school. Today was Tuesday.

As a bad surprise to me, Sharpay Evans, the school's drama queen came and sat next to her.

"Gabriella, I need a tutor for chemistry and Mrs. Simmons said that you would be the best for the job. So I need you to come to my house today after school. There is a test tomorrow so I really need to study so I can be in the next musical." Sharpay begged.

Her pink lip-glossed lips were actually begging someone for their help so I decided to be the bigger person and accept. I looked at Sharpay and nodded.

She clapped her hands together fast. "Thanks!" With that the perky blonde got up and left to the basketball players. She sat on Troy's lap and weaved her arms around her neck.

"Three days tops." I said after I turned back to the group. Taylor nodded before speaking.

"That girl doesn't even know that he is using her as a toy."

I chucked my books into my locker, threw my bag over my shoulder, and looked around the halls for Sharpay. I searched the halls with no sign of her, but I did find her blonde brother—Ryan Evans.

"Hey Gabriella." Ryan greeted once he noticed that I had walked up to him. He was nice yet, a total drama geek.

"Hay Ryan. I have to tutor your sister and I need your address… but I can't seem to find Sharpay." I said.

He nodded and scribbled his address on a spare piece of paper. "Here ya go." He said as he handed me the piece of torn notebook paper.

I told him my thanks and walked out of the school. I texted my mom off of my black Razr and typed a message that said I would be home a little later than usual. Cell phones were hard for me use because I could not hear (I just read lips) so my phone was just used for texting when I had to communicate with someone.

I read the address And noticed that the house was only about a mile and a half away so I would just walk there. I normally walked home because I liked having some time to myself. It gave me a chance to think and sort out my head. While walking, I hummed the tune of the song "Geek In the Pink" by Jason Mraz.

As I got to the house I could finally see how huge it really was. It was a huge brick house with landscaping that was beautiful. I was about to walk up the stepping stone sidewalk to knock on the door, but then I noticed an Audi S6 parked in the driveway. I could see a blonde head with long hair and I could tell it was Sharpay because they were wearing a bright pink top. I started walking towards the car. As I got closer a disgusted look spread across my face. I knocked on the car window, trying to get the occupants of the cars attention.

Sharpay was lip-locking with some guy that I could not tell. I knocked on the window again, but this time with more force. The two in the car tore apart reluctantly. I finally got a good look at the guy and – to my dismay – it was-

"Troy!" Sharpay screeched. I was confused why she had screeched, until I figured that Troy was the one who pulled away and Sharpay was unaware why or that I was standing outside the car.

Troy grabbed Sharpay's shoulders and turned her around to face me so she would stop ranting about. Her mouth formed an 'o' as she finally noticed me.

She jumped out of the passenger side door. After waving prissily, she stalked over to me. Troy just pulled out of her driveway and his car screeched as he sped down the road.

"You're with Troy Bolton?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.

The blonde was still half-dazed when she finally answered me. "Oh, he doesn't do commitment." She answered flatly. Spinning on her heel, she motioned for me to follow her inside her large brick home.
