Midsummer highschool dream

Gabriella

'How amazing is it that I'm spending another year here at East High? I was sure my mum's company would make us transfer again but here I am spending my senior year with the people I love'

Gabriella leaned over to give Troy a peck on the cheek but to her surprise he pulled away. To Gabriella, he had seemed so distracted for the past few days. As they walked down the hallway on their way to lunch Troy seemed to be looking for something. One thing was for sure, he wasn't listening to what she had to say.

'Troy? Troy? TROY?'

'Huh? Oh yeah… um… great.' Troy's eyes were like fish darting around the ocean. He kept craning his neck as if looking for something… or someone.

Suddenly a look of satisfaction and accomplishment came to Troy's face, he found what he was looking for. Sharpay and Ryan walked on the other side of the hall toward Sharpay's locker. Without a backwards glance Troy ran toward Sharpay's locker and started making conversation.

Gabriella knew exactly what this meant but didn't know why.

'Why is Troy now so interested in Sharpay?' she thought to herself. 'What's wrong with me? She's only a blond bimbo who takes crack to keep her weight down and has sex with her brother. But maybe that's what Troy's into now.'

Depressed and upset, Gabriella went into the bathroom and ran into the last cubicle. Tears streaming down her face she reached into her bag and took out a small pocket knife. The knife glistened in the light of the dingy bathroom. She held the knife to her wrist and let the cold blade touch her skin. Gabiella knew what she had to do to escape her pain.
