High School Musical - TroyElla Story
It was an ordinary day for East High. People roaming the halls of the school either heading to another class, or meeting up with people in a corner. And of course, Sharpay and Ryan walking around. Sharpay was on her blackberry, and Ryan was just following behind her like usuall. Last year everybody in the school was afraid to go near them. But Gabriella wanted to know more about Sharpay. Maybe she was the snob of the school because of her life? School has been going on since September, and to everybodys surprise Gabriella and Sharpay are getting close, not as rivals for the school musical, but as friends.
The two walked into the school side-by-side talking about the latest teen trends out. It turns out, Gabriella had alot of things in common with Sharpay that she never knew about.
"So, Gabriella, we've been starting to become 'friends' since school started up again. Why are you wanting to be my friend, when I treat everyone like garbage?" Sharpay asked as she made her way to her pink,star locker. Gabriella followed.
"Well, I just think there is more to you then being mean to people." Gabriella replied hestiantly. She was hoping that Sharpay wouldn't yell down her throat.
Sharpay looked at her with caring eyes. And tears were beginning to form up inside her.
"You really think that?" Sharpay asked, as Gabriella nodded. "I know I'm harsh sometimes, but you don't know the pressure I'm under. My parents are always working, and my dad acts this way towards his workers when he is frustrated, I just...I guess it's rubbing off to me."
Gabriella smiled supportingly. "Well, people need to know what you're telling me. Most of the people in this school still are scared to be around you."
"I know. I know. They won't believe it though. I've been this way since Middle School. And most of the students here went to East Middle with me and know that I can't change. But they don't know that I can."
"Then tell them Sharpay."
"Gabriella, I can't. Other wise the popular 'friends' of mine will laugh at me. And make jokes about me infront of people."
Sharpay looked over Gabriella's shoulder and saw a group of four girls in matching mini skirts with a hultar top walking towards them. "Oh Great."
Gabriella turned around and noticed them right away. It was a pretty clear sign that that was the popular friends of Sharpay's. Students in the halls quickly made a run for their next class, or somewhere to be away from them.
"What are you doing with this geek Sharpay?" The girl named Shawndra asked.
Sharpay quickly changed her additude.
"Nothing. Just telling her that her and that Mr.Bolton that they should of never auditioned for the musical." Sharpay smiled at her four posse friends, then back to Gabriella. "You better think twice next time."
Gabriella was sad. Being somebody you're friends want you to be isn't a good thing. It's also a sign that their not you're true friends.
"Nice one" Shawndra and a girl named Chrissy said in unision. They looked at each other and said, "OH, Sssss" then pointed to themselves. Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"Let's leave. I don't want to be with this loser anymore." Christy said harshly.
"Agreed!"
All 5 of them headed off, leaving Gabriella there. Sharpay looked back at her, then soon turned the corner.
Gabriella knew she was nervous about things.
Gabriella walked to her locker which was down a few hallways. She reached it, then began turning the lock with her combination, when somebody walked up behind her with their hands over her eyes.
"Guess who?" The voice said with a laughing tone.
"Troy Zachary Bolton, you scared me half to death!"
Troy laughed, then took his hands off her and leaned up against the lockers. "Well, that's the whole point."
They both laughed.
"I saw you talking to Sharpay earlier."
"Oh, you did?" Gabriella said as she was pulling out her Chemestry 11 book.
"Yeah. Are you both really starting to become 'friends', or is it an act to get back at her for all the stuff that happened last year."
Gabriella closed her locker door, still not looking at Troy.
"Yeah. I just think there is something more to her then her snobby personality."
"Well, you don't know her as much as I do."
"Troy, she's not like that. She told me she wants to change, but doesn't want to get laughed at."
"How do you know her and her friends are just playing an act?"
"I'm just trusting my gut." Gabriella said coldy, then walked away.
'Troy still thinks that Sharpay is the snob of the school. I happen to think differently. But what if Troy is saying is true? That she is playing an act? Maybe she is being forced to do it if that's the case.'
Troy sighed, then walked off in the other direction but bumped into a student.
"Oh, sorry." He said gently.
"It's alright."
The girl was about his height, with blonde, layered hair.
"You're new here I take it?"
"How do you know that?"
"You're student book says it all."
The girl looked down and blushed slightly.
"Oh yeah, that would explain it."
They both laughed.
"I'm Ashley Evans."
"I'm Troy..."
"Bolton. Yes, I hear alot about you from my sister."
Troy was a little suspicious.
"Wait, you're name is Evans?" Troy was /really/ curious. Was Ashley Sharpay and Ryan's sister or something? He had no idea.
"Yeah, I'm not related to the snob of the school or her brother though. I never met her. Just know about her from my sister. Sharpay and my sister who's name is Megan were close friends in Middle School."
Troy was still confused, but just said, "Oh."
"Yeah,..."
"Well, I should get going.''
"It was nice meeting you."
"Likewise."
Troy walked off in the direction of the Gym, while Ashley sat down on the floor having her back leaned up against the lockers. And wrote the following in her notebook.
Well, I just bumped into a boy on my frist day at this school. And I must say, he's a total hottie! And he's on the basketball team with his father coaching it all! And I really hope I don't meet this Sharpay person. I hear from people she's pretty rude to everybody. Mainly to knew comers in the school. Okay, I was excited about being here, but now I'm not so sure.
Ashley heard the bell ring. Meaning it was class time.
The following people were in the same class along with Ashley : Gabriella, Ryan, Troy, Sharpay, Taylor, Kelsi, Chad, and Sharpay along with a few other kids.
Ashley was the third to arrive in the class room. Ashley handed the teacher her information, then took a seat in the middle of the room. A girl looked at her and decided to introduce herself.
"Hi, I'm Ali."
Ashley looked over at her.
"I'm Ashley."
"Are you knew here?
Ashley nodded.
"Cool. We should hang out after school. I haven't met anybody here, and I've been here since last year."
"I'm sure you met people."
"Yeah, I have. But I never talk to them hardly."
"Oh..."
The rest of the class game through the door. Gabriella was still mad at what Troy said earlier, so she sat as far away as possible from him. Troy sighed as he took his seat. He hated having Gabriella be like this, not to mention being in the class with a boring teacher, aka. Mrs.Darbus.
"Okay class. Please take you're seats. We have alot to do, and little time to fill it all in. First I would like to introduce a new student, Ashley Evans."
When she said that everybody assumed she was related to the other Evans' in the room.
"Now, on to our scheduale. Last year the musicale went well. Mr.Bolton and Ms.Montez did an amazing job as the two lead roles. So to start this off, we will be having our next musicale in about 6 months. Auditions will be held during free period tomorrow in the auditorium for single roles and our two leads. Now...
Ashley was really excited about this along with most of the people in the class room. Except for Taylor and Chad.
"We're going to work out our excersizes. Today we will be practicing the trust exercise. You will fall into you're partners arms and if they catch you, well,...the title of the exercise explains it all. But if you fall onto the floor and bump you're little heads, all I have to say is, 'You two need work'. I have paired you off already. Ashley and Jason, Sharpay and Zeke, Ali and Ryan, Mitchelle and Mike (new people in the room) Chad and Taylor, Troy and Gabriella, Kelsi and Jennifer."
Everybody in the room got up, and went to different places in the room and began the excersize. Mostly everybody didn't like this class because of the pointless class work and things. They all just wanted to leave/including/ Sharpay.
With Troy and Gabriella
"Gabriella can we talk?" Troy asked as he placed his arms out infront of him as Gabriella turned around.
Gabriella didn't say a word so she fell back into his arms.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I said. I just,...have my own opinion."
Now they did the same thing but the other way around.
"Okay, you're not talking to me still. This is a Friday, so could I make this up to you as a friend kind of dinner thing tonight?"
troy's thoughs.
I finally asked her out on a date. I was planning on asking her last year during the musical. I was just scared. Scared mainly of what her answer would probably have been. I just /really/ hope she says yes.
gabriella's thoughts
Did this just happen? Did Troy Zachary Bolton ask me out!? Should I say yes? I mean, why wouldn't I say it? I really like Troy. He's a great guy, best personality, and has amazing eyes! I just...don't think it's the best time yet. Oh forget it!
"Is that a question for a date?" Gabriella asked as the switched around the excersize.
Troy nodded. "Yeah, if you want it to be called that."
They both laughed.
"It sounds like fun. I'll go. I have nothing better to do at home anyway.

With Ashley and Jason
"So..." Jason didn't know his partner. He /really/ wanted to get to know her. Along with a few other guys in the school. They all thought she was pretty. Typicall guys thinking that about girls.
"I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Jason, Jason Cross."
Ashley smiled while falling back into his arms for the exersize."I'm Ashley Evans."
"Evans, so you're related to Sharpay and Ryan?"
Ashley shook her head and laugd.
"No."
"Oh," He laugehd as well.
This is really confusing. Last year I couldn't get Kelsi out of my mind. I still can't. But Ashley here, she is also cute. And I told myself I would ask Kelsi out today one way or another. I just hope that there is some sign so I know for sure.
Well, another cute guy! This place is sworming with guys! I'm in his arms right now, or not. He's placing me up, now I have to catch him. But whatever! I'm not complaining. He's really cute, along with Troy.
With Zeke and Sharpay
"Come on Sharpay. It's just for class." Zeke said.
"NO! I am not letting some basketball player touch me! Even if it's for class."
Mrs.Darbus walked over.
"If you don't do this, both of you are going to get a failing grade."
She walked away, leaving Sharpay mad.
"Fine. But if you tell this to anyone, you're dead."
Zeke quickly nodded.
zeke's thoughts.
People say, 'Why do you have a crush on Sharpay? She's the meanest girl in the school?' But I can't help liking her. Plus she's cute when she is angry at me.
I hate this boring class, and hate having Zeke touching me right now. Nevermind, he stopped, but I have to catch him. This thing really stinks. I do like his cookies though. Man are they good.
With Ali and Ryan
ali's thoughts
I can't believe Mrs.Darbus placed me with Ryan! I was so excited! He's the cutest guy in school, and I can't get enough of him! He may not be as smart as the other simi-cute guys, but being smart isn't what matters. He makes me laugh! And that's all I care about. And I can't believe I was just holding him in my arms!
ryan's thoughts
Okay, Ali is cool. At least I got paired up with someone I know then someone who I didn't like Mike, Michelle, Ashley, and whoever else is new. And is it me, or did I just get a look at Ali smiling?
With Kelsi and Jennifer
jennifer's thoughts
Why couldn't Mrs.Darbus place me with Ryan or Troy. Their guys, and their cute! I hate doing this exersize with now /Guy/ partner! Ugh!
Jennifer looked at Ryan and Troy, and didn't notice Kelsi falling back. Kelsi fell down on the floor.
"Um...Jennifer."
"Oh, sorry.
"It's fine." Kelsi said as she got up.
They switched it around. This time Kelsi was going to catch Jennifer.
kelsi's thoughts.
I just saw Jennifer look at my crush! Jason! Ugh! Why did I have to be paired up with her!
With Chad and Taylor
taylor's thoughs.
I couldn't be anymore happier to be paired up with Chad. After the chaimpionship game last year our date was amazing! And we've been going out since! He still hasn't kissed me yet!
chad's thoughts.
I'm so happy to be paired up with her. Need I say I mean, think more?
After about 25 minutes of this, Mrs. Darbus gave them their homework.They were told to practice this scene from Romeo and Juliet for 5 days from today.They had from Saturday, to Wenesday to recite it without the paper, and pronounce the words well.They all left for different classes.
What will happen in the next chapter?
Hint - Sharpay's posse stir up some drama
