Summary: Let's assume that Troy and Gabriella never met that time at the ski lodge. Let's assume that they never sang together. Let's assume that Gabriella was never new to East High. Let's assume that the first time when she talked to Troy was in the eleventh grade, when she became his math tutor. Let's assume…

So yeah, this story is basically about Troy and Gabriella (I wouldn't have it any other way) and how she gets chosen to be Troy's math tutor. We all know that she's the 'freaky math girl' and Troy is 'lunk head basketball man'. So pretty much, that's the reason why she got chosen to tutor Troy.

AN: THIS STORY IS BEING REPOSTED! One thing about me: I write huuuuge authors notes for no apparent reason; I sometimes write my life story in them. You could skip them, but sometimes you may have to read them because their actually important. (I will warn you when to read them at the beginning of my note, if there is no warning, you don't have to read them)

Here's the thing. This is my first High School Musical fic. You will find most of my stories in the That 70s show section. I decided I needed a break on that because I've been having writers block, but that's not important. I've been reading most of the stories on HSM and I grew to like them a lot, then I became obsessed with it, and now I'm writing about it. This is a story that just popped into my head today and I have to write it down ASAP before the idea slips out of my mind and I won't remember it ever again. Before I start I also want to say that I know my writing isn't good, and I know that I'm not a professional writer like most of the people on this site. The reason why I write is because I enjoy it. I write about what I would like to happen or what should happen. I don't know how popular this story will be, and I frankly don't care, if I get no reviews, it won't stop me from continuing. One more thing before I go. I accept constructive criticism. Not mean harsh words like "this story is stupid" if it's so stupid, why are you reading it? You get the point.

See? I told you I write huge authors notes. Lmao it's like nearly a page on Microsoft word. Moving along…

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own HSM. If I did, Troy and Gabriella would have kissed at the end of the movie. If you see a name that hasn't been mentioned in the movie that would be the character I own.

One more thing before I forget, all these chapters are going to be based on a song title. From all different singers, bands, and bla bla. The title to this chapter is from the Goo Goo Dolls. And I don't own the song or band.

Thank you for listening to my pointless rant.

Chapter one – Hey Jealousy

Gabriella and Taylor were both at their lockers waiting patiently for first period to start. Even though they were in no rush to get to Darbus' class. The first day of school was never exciting, at least this year they were looking forward to being seniors.

As they were talking about their usual morning girl talk, they both shuddered when they saw Sharpay Evans walking down the hall.

"Great, another full year with Sharpay. I wonder what she'll be up to this year." Taylor whispered in Gabriella's ear.

Before Gabriella could respond Sharpay walked right up to them. "So as both of you probably already know, I was voted student president for this year. That means that this school will be going from lame to… coincidently amazing"

Taylor and Gabriella both looked at each other, thinking that she was crazy.

"Just thought I'd remind you girls. Oh no, look at the time. I better change into my school shoes before the first bell rings. Toodles."

"Great." Gabriella said, "The school year just got worse."

"You're telling me." Taylor agreed. "C'mon let's walk to first period."

They both walked into the class and took a seat beside each other. Gabriella looked at the rest of the class. All familiar faces, just like every year. Of course, their was Taylor and then in front of her sat Sharpay and beside her sat her brother, Ryan. Then of course in front of Sharpay sat Chad Danforth, and in front of Chad sat Troy Bolton.

Why was it that Troy Bolton was always in all of her classes every single year? But she never talked to him; she wouldn't even dare to talk to him. There was only one thing he cared about. And that thing was basketball. He was the captain of the basketball team, the coach's son, and boyfriend to Sharpay. He had everything

Gabriella's thoughts were soon interrupted when Darbus came into the class room. Looking miserable as usual.

"Welcome back to East High everyone. Hopefully this year will be better than last. I ju…"

She stopped in the middle of a sentence when she heard a cell phone ring.

"Whose cell phone was that?" She asked sternly.

"Um… Sorry Mrs.… Darbus" Troy admitted while closing his phone.

"Give me you're phone! And you just bought yourself a detention Mr. Bolton."

"But there's a basketball meeting, and I…"

"Well you should have thought about you're meeting before you took out your cell phone. Am I right?"

"Yes Mrs. Darbus."

Gabriella quietly coughed, and the teacher thought she was making fun of her. (I don't know how, but whatever)

"Excuse me, Ms. Montez?"

"Um, yes?"

"Making fun of me, are you?"

"…No"

"Lier! You also have a detention after school. Don't be late"

Gabriella sighed.

Eventually it was the end of the day and Gabriella had to walk all the way to the theatre. That was where Mrs. Darbus normally held her detentions. Her detentions normally consisted of helping her out with the props for the musicales every year. The school year wouldn't be the same if you didn't get a detention from Darbus at least once.

Since it was still the beginning of the year, Darbus hadn't planned anything, so therefore Gabriella didn't really have to help out with anything. Instead she just took a random seat in one of the theatre chairs. She felt a little uncomfortable with Darbus watching her from the stage. She tried not to look at her, so instead she pulled out her iPod from her knapsack and started listening to it.

Troy finally came into the theatre. Gabriella could hardly hear him until…

"Bolton! You're late!" Mrs. Darbus yelled.

"Sorry, I was with Sharpay and she kept talking and…"

"Excuses, excuses!" Troy rolled his eyes. "Just take a seat; I'll be back in a minute." With that she walked out of the theatre.

Troy sat down two seats away from Gabriella and he had nothing else to do so he took out his math homework. He had no clue why he had homework on the first day back at school, and he hated math, it was his worst subject.

The first question and he was already struggling. He grunted and through the math text book on the floor.

Gabriella shut off her iPod and took the headphones off and looked at Troy. "Is there something wrong?" She asked.

He just nodded his head no and went to go get the math text book off the floor. "It's just that I hate math." He admitted.

"Let me look at it." Gabriella said. He reluctantly gave her the math text book. "It's question number one, and two… and three. Pretty much the whole thing"

"Hmm, algebra." Troy nodded. "Give me you're paper."

He gave it to her and watched her as she moved her hands at a fast pace doing the problem. In a matter of five seconds she gave the sheet back to him. He looked at the sheet and then back at her.

"Whoa. How did you do that?" He asked fascinated.

"It's easy. Math is one of my favorite subjects." She admitted. She looked away and it was quiet for a couple of seconds.

"Y'know…" Troy began to talk. "My mom thinks I need a math tutor. I think you would be perfect, I mean, it seems like you know everything."

"You don't even know me."

Troy sighed. This was true; he didn't even know her name. But he did need a good mark in math. This would probably be the perfect time to introduce himself, "Well I'm…"

"Troy Bolton." Troy looked at her surprisingly. She knew his name.

"Don't even look at me like that. The whole school knows you're name." Troy nodded.

"Anyways, I'm Gabriella Montez."

"Nice to meet you, Gabi"

Gabi. That name just stood out for her. No one else she knew called her that. She didn't know why he called her that, but she liked it.

"So will you please please be my math tutor?" He asked again.

"Fine."

Troy sighed in relief. "Thank you so much. I'll do anything for you. I'll pay you five dollars an hour. No, five dollars a question. Not even, ten dollars a question."

Gabriella giggled. That day she saw a different side of Troy, he was actually nice. And she couldn't help but feel a tad jealous of Sharpay.

AN: So yeah it was short but it was kind of just a little introduction and I forgot to mention there's some Troypay in this story, but the main focus is Troyella. Next time I update: How will Sharpay like the idea of Gabriella tutoring Troy? And what happens when Troy finds himself liking to be around Gabriella. Find out next time on Beautiful Disaster. So now I want YOU guys to answer me this…

Should I continue?

I probably will, anyways.
