Gabriella is at school, talking with her best friends Taylor McKessie and Sharpay Evans. They are talking about normal girl's stuff when…
"Hey girls, did you hear the latest rumors?" Shar asks excited.
"No, what is it about?" Taylor and Gabby ask curious.
"A new boy will come to our school today or tomorrow, and as I heard, he's a hottie!" Shar tells them.
"Oh…my…god…." suddenly Gabby screams.
Shar and Taylor cover their ears and look at Gabby. "Why did you do that?"
"Sorry…I couldn't help it" Gabby answers and blushes a bit.
"No need to blush Gabs" Shar says and hugs her.
"Thanks..." Gabby answers and hugs her back.
Later that day, the girls are at lunch break and laughing with the basketball team of the school.
"And Gabby?", Chad asks "You've done very well last week!"
"You only say that to make me happy.." Gabby says and looks away.
"No, I'm serious…" Chad answers.
"I know…" Gabby says and slowly nears her face to Chad's "That's why I'm your girlfriend." She gives him a quick peck on the lips.
"How lucky I am…" Chad grins and kisses Gabby again.
Meanwhile Taylor whispers in Shar's ear "I think they are a cute couple…but I would take him as my boyfriend, if he wouldn't be Gabby's…"
"I hope so.." Shar says and looks at Gabby and Chad "No one can tear them apart, their love is so strong!" She sighs.
"Thank you Shar" Gabby says and grins at her "And Taylor I would never give Chad away, so you have to find another boy." She laughs a bit.
Chad whispers in Gabby's ear "And you know it's our two years anniversary day soon?"
"Yeah…" Gabby's sounding worried, because she knows what Chad is thinking.
"And you know what people do when they love each other?" Chad continues and smiles at her flirty.
"You know I don't want to…" Gabby says and looks at him deeply.
"Of course and I respect that" Chad answers.
"Thank you so much!" She kisses him again and with a lot passion.
When Gabby pulls back she sees that the girls are starring at the door.
"Hey girls, what's so interesting?" She asks Shar and Taylor.
"Outside the door is the new guy and you can see his silhouette." Shar tells her in excitement.
'Wow a new boy at school, in the morning I was very excited but now I know if already have the perfect guy in my life' she thinks, looks at Chad and smiles.
Gabby looks at Shar and says:" I don't know why you're so excited. It's just a new guy, nothing more…"
"Yeah Gabs, you can say that. You have a nice boyfriend!" Taylor says sarcastically.
Suddenly the door to the cafeteria opens and the new guy walks in a bit shy.
Sharpay stands up immediately and walks up to him. In a flirty tone:" Hey, I'm Sharpay. You must be the new student Ms. Darbus told us?"
He nods and says:" I'm Troy, Troy Bolton."
Shar thinks: 'Wow, not bad, I wonder if he has a girlfriend' She takes his hand and says:" Come on Troy, I wanna introduce you to the rest of the gang!"
Troy doesn't say anything and walks with Sharpay to the others.
"Hey guys! This is Troy Bolton, he's the new student Ms. Darbus told us about!" Shar says.
Everybody says "Hello" to Troy.
"So Troy" Shar says "This is Taylor McKessie and Gabriella Montez, the most intelligent girls at East High. Zeke Baylor, Jason Cross and Ryan Evans, they are in the basketball team and Ryan is my brother. Martha Cox and Kelsie Nielson, girlfriends of Jason and Ryan. Finally this is Chad Danforth, the captain of the basketball team and Gabriella's boyfriend."
When Sharpay has finished introducing, Chad asks Troy:" Hey Troy, do you play basketball?"
"Yeah, why?" he answers a bit confused.
"We need one more player in the team and if you want to, you can come and try out after school." Chad says.
Troy doesn't think about it and says:" Okay, I'll be there!"
"Good!" Chad says.
Meanwhile Gabby is sitting on Chad's lap and looking trough the cafeteria. Then she looks at Troy and thinks:' Wow…Shar was right, he's indeed a hottie. But I have a boyfriend….Maybe… No Gabriella! You already have boyfriend, you can't two time him!'
She realizes that Troy is looking at her for a few seconds too and turns her head away.
'Wow, she's hot. Pity she has already a boyfriend. And I don't wanna risk that the captain of the basketball team is angry at me, if I date his girlfriend….Especially when I'm trying to come in the basketball team…' he thinks and looks around the cafeteria.
After lunch break ended Gabby and Taylor have to go to the science club and the guys have basketball practice. Gabby kisses Chad good bye and leaves with Taylor. Troy has been watching them and walks to the locker rooms with the rest of the basketball team. "So Troy" Chad says "If you wanna play with us in a team you have to show what you got!" Chad leads Troy in the gym and sees the coach isn't there. He looks around confused and finds him talking to the principal.
"Coach!" He shouts and walks up to him. "I think I found possible player for the team." He points Try. "This is Troy Bolton." Chad says to the coach.
The coach looks at Troy for a few seconds and then throws a ball to him. Troy easily catches it.
The coach starts smiling and says to him:" You are the first one who caught the ball. So, just show me some jump shoots and so on…"
"Okay..." Troy says and throws the ball, which dropped in the basket immediately.
Troy keeps on scoring again and again. After half an hour the coach says:" It's okay, you know how to play basketball. You are in the team!"
Everybody starts cheering and Jason says to Chad:" I knew our captain would find someone!"
Chad walks to Troy and says:" Well done and welcome in the Wildcats team!"
Troy smiles and says:" Thanks, captain…"
Suddenly the coach clears his throat:" I'm sorry, but I don't think that Chad will be captain anymore…"
"What?" Chad asks confused.
"I'm sorry, but Troy will be the new captain. He's a way better than you…." The coach looks at Chad ready for every possible reaction.
But Chad only says." Yes." In a calm voice and looks at Troy:" If the coach says it, it has to be true…"
Troy is standing there with the basketball in his hand looking at Chad and thinks:' He's not mad at me? I can't believe it…'
Chad thinks at the same time:' He is the new captain, I don't like that but I don't care as long as he doesn't take other things from me. Like my friends or even worse my girlfriend.'
The next day
The gang sits at the cafeteria table when Sharpay asks:" And Troy how was basketball yesterday? Did you get part of the team?"
Troy looks at her then at Chad. "Well…Yes I got part of the team" He looks down on his plate.
Sharpay says:" That's great!"
Gabriella looks at Chad and whispers in his ear:" Is he really in the team?"
Chad looks at her:" Yes he is…"
Troy looks at Chad, worried he might tell that Troy is the new captain of the team.
"So Troy", Sharpay says, "You are in the team and you will play against North High? Or do you have to wait until somebody gets hurt or sick?"
Troy looks up again and then says quietly:" Yes, I'll play…"
"Really?" Shar asks enthusiastically.
When Troy wants to answer her Chad suddenly says irritated:" Yes, he's going to play, because he's the new captain of the team…!"
Sharpay looks at Chad then at Troy:" What?"
"It's true…", Troy says.
"That's not possible…" Taylor adds and looks at Chad.
Chad sees her looking at him and says:" It's possible. The coach thinks he's the best and so he's the new captain."
The whole table is speechless and so they don't talk 'til school ends.
After school, Chad and Gabriella are sitting in Chad's room.
Chad is still upset, because Troy is the new captain of the basketball team.
"Hey, I don't like the face you make…" Gabby says.
Chad looked at her "I don't care what you think! Just shut up bitch"
Gabriella did as her boyfriend told her "I'm sorry, I just thought th-"
"Don't say anything wrong…" Chad glared at her.
Gabriella immediately got quiet and didn't say anything for the whole afternoon.
Gabriella was used to that life. In school Chad and her were the perfect couple…but outside of that building – everything was different.
He treated her like she is a thing he owns and can do what ever her wants to. Gabriella was scared of him, but didn't dare telling anyone.
'Better someone acts as if he likes you and threatens you than being hurt by the same person' she thought.
Okay, tell me what you think about it! Should I continue? Pls tell me…
