My parents always used to tell me that hate is a strong word and that I shouldn't hate anyone. For a long time I figured they were right. I am a generally nice person and the thought of hating someone never really sat well with me. That is until about sophomore year.
It was the first day of 8th grade when Troy and I met. I have moved around a lot so I was used to being the new kid. All I remember about that day was meeting Troy. I was a shy kid and kept to myself a lot. It was during lunch and I was sitting at a table by myself eating and reading a book. I didn't mind being alone, I was used to it. So there I was sitting there minding my own business when all of the sudden this boy sits down at my table and starts talking to me. I looked up from my book curiously and there's a boy with sandy brown hair and the most incredible blue eyes I have ever seen. He introduced himself as Troy Bolton. I then shyly introduced myself as Gabriella Montez. We smiled at each other and just like that we started talking like we had known each other our whole lives. He told me about how he played basketball and I told him that I played volleyball and I danced. For the next week we talked nonstop and by the end of the month we had both developed crushes on each other. We skirted around each other for almost a year before Troy finally asked me out the day before 8th grade graduation. I was so happy and we pretty much became inseparable after that. We became known as Gabriella and Troy. We were rarely seen without one another. Most people would laugh and say we were only 14 but to us it was real. We continued to date all through freshman year and we quickly became the most popular people in the freshman class, I was on the dance squad and volleyball team and Troy was on the varsity basketball team. We were the "it" couple of East High. People always were trying to find out information about us and some tried to break us up. Their attempts never worked though, we honestly loved each other. It wasn't just a fling, I loved him and he loved me. I knew I could trust Troy with anything.
As freshman year came and went we grew closer and more popular in the school. We were friends with a lot of Upper classmen and earned their respect. When sophomore year had rolled around we became the "King and Queen" of the school, in the students opinion anyway….the whole title sounded a bit ridiculous to me. There were a lot of girls who were jealous of me though. Some girls hated me for being with Troy and their attempts at breaking us up started to get more severe. They still didn't work though.
Granted me and Troy had not spent a lot of time together in weeks. He was busy with basketball and I was busy with dance. After weeks of not seeing each other we were supposed to go to a party together but I was not feeling well so I decided not to go. I told Troy to go out without me and to have fun and that I was fine. I spent the night upstairs in my room watching movies and sleeping with the flu. I felt horrible so I turned off my phone in case anyone tried to call and I went to bed early. I ended up missing the next two days of school from being sick. I kept my phone off the entire time so when I turned it on the morning I expected there to be at least one missed call from Troy. I wasn't disappointed. I sat down at the counter to eat breakfast as I went to my voicemail. "Hey Ella it's me, how are you feeling? Missed you at school…umm I'll talk to you later...Love you bye." I just smiled and went to catch the bus to school.
When I got to school people were looking at me which I guess wasn't that abnormal. It was how they were looking at me, they had this look of pity on their face, as if they knew something I didn't. As I walked past them they would start whispering. Finally reaching my locker I opened it and starting putting my books in my bag. All the sudden my locker was slammed closed. Spinning around I saw Morgan, one of the girls who hated me for being with Troy. She had this smirk on her face and I just sighed not really up for dealing with her.
"What do you want Morgan?" I really was not up for her today. She just smiled at me and shoved her phone in my face. A picture of her making out with some guy was on the screen and I just rolled my eyes.
"Morgan why the heck would I care about you making out with some gu…." I took another look at the picture and my heart literally stopped. The guy in the picture sure looked a lot like Troy. Morgan smirked at me again and took her phone back.
"I just wanted you to see how much fun your boyfriend and I had at the party without you there." Giving a tiny wave she walked away from me. I felt like I couldn't breathe. This had to be some sort of sick joke. There was no way that was Troy with Morgan. I leant back up against my locker taking several deep breaths trying to stop myself from breaking down. I see someone rushing to my side but I couldn't focus on who it was.
"Ella…El are you alright? Do you need to go to the nurse?" I was snapped out of my daze when I heard that name. There was only one person who was allowed to call me Ella.
"Don't you dare call me Ella ever again." No longer was I trying to fight back tears, I was furious. I spun around to look at Troy and saw confusion across his face. What could he possibly be confused about?
"El...Gabriella what's wrong?"
"Don't act like you don't know…how about you go ask Morgan? I'm sure she'd be willing to refresh your memory." I snapped. He still looked like he was confused.
"Gabriella I don't understand."
"I saw the picture of you making out with Morgan at the party!" A look of shock spread over his face but I know it was only because he got caught.
"El I didn't do anything!"
"Save it Troy! How can you stand there and act like you don't know what I'm talking about? Did I mean that little to you? You know what it doesn't matter we're done!" I could feel the tears in my eyes as I turned around and started to move away. Before I could go very far though I felt Troy's hand grab my arm and spin me around.
"Gabriella just hold on!"
"No! Let me go Troy!"
"Not until you listen to me! I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Stop trying to lie! It's over! Go find someone else to lie to Troy!" I continued to try and get my arm free of his grasp but he wouldn't let go. My tears had long ago started to fall and I wasn't going to bother holding them in. This jerk better see just how much he hurt me.
"No it's not over! I'm not lying to you" How dare he continue to lie like this to me face.
"Save it for someone who cares…I HATE YOU TROY BOLTON!" I felt his grip loosen as I said these words and I quickly ran away. Tears were running down my face and I could hear people whispering about me as I ran out the doors of the school and down the sidewalk.
I ran all the way home and into my room where I broke down on my bed. I never had felt as hurt as I did in that moment. I felt like my whole world was crashing down and in reality it was. Troy Bolton had been my life and he threw everything away the second he made out with Morgan. I hated him for doing this to me. I never thought the one person who I could love with all my heart could turn out to be the person who I hated more than anything.
So tell me what you think with A REVIEW!
