School Starts


BANG! Troy fell out of bed as his mum pulled open the curtains.

"Wakey! Wakey!" she said in a sing song voice.

"Muuuuuuum," Troy whined, "it is 6:30am."

"Yes and it is also the first day back at school."

"WHAT! Already?! It was just yesterday when I went to lunch with Gabi!"

"It was also yesterday when you got your timetable."

"That was yesterday? I thought that was a dream?"

"No that actually happened. Now get up! You don't want to be late for your first day as a senior." And with that, she left the room. Monday the 25th of August came a bit too quickly for Troy Bolton. He got up, changed into his shorts and a t-shirt and walked lazily for breakfast.

Already sitting at the table was Troy's girlfriend, Gabriella.

"Hey lazy," she said as he sat down next to her. He kissed her on the cheek and poured himself some cereal.

"I was just comparing our timetables," she explained, "We have homeroom, Chemistry, PE and Literature together."

"That's it?" Troy commented.

"That's it. I also compared with Taylor yesterday and you have Chemistry, Math and Physics with her."

"Again, that's it? They didn't put any of us together this year did they?"

"Nope. Hurry up. Stop the chit chat and get your things, it is 8:15 already." Troy ran upstairs, got his bag filled with books and ran downstairs again. He said goodbye to his mum and then Jack drove the two of them to school.


When they arrived, Chad, Taylor, Jason, Kelsi, Ryan and surprisingly Sharpay, were waiting for them.

"Finally you are here, I have been here since 8:00am!" Taylor exclaimed.

"Sharpay, why are you hanging around with us?" Troy asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well since I don't have a chance with you," she evil-eyed Gabriella's 'T' necklace, "then I decided to give Zeke a chance." Then she turned to Zeke and pecked him on the lips.

"Those two kiss more than you two," Taylor said as she signaled towards Troy and Gabriella, "and I have only seen them together for two days." Everyone except Troy laughed at this joke.

"Hey lighten up, it was only a joke," Gabriella said.

"I didn't find it funny," he replied.

"Liar…" Gabriella said under her breath, but just loud enough for Troy to hear her. Then Troy started to 'play fight' with her before finishing with a passionate kiss.

"See what I mean," Taylor said and the group laughed even harder.

"Well we should get to class, the bell rang like five minutes ago," Kelsi commented. Then the whole gang walked up the steps of the school and then went their separate ways. Troy, Gabriella, Ryan and Kelsi went one way, Chad, Sharpay and Zeke another and Jason and Taylor the other.


Troy and Gabriella walked into their classroom hand in hand and found two spare seats next to each other down the back. Ryan and Kelsi were a row in front of them. Their homeroom teacher walked through the door and Troy and Gabriella sighed. Ms. Darbus, who was their most hated teacher, came walking through the door. Ms. Darbus was their teacher the previous year.

"Good morning young thespians," she exclaimed.

"Good morning Ms. Darbus," they sang gloomily together.

"Now as it is the first day, I have to distribute locker numbers and combinations. Ahh let's see..." and she started reading down the roll. She suddenly stopped at Troy's name.

"Ahh, I see we have a performer on our hands, Mr. Bolton, I hope you and your friend, Miss Montez are going to audition for the musical again this year?" she asked.

"Ahh…yeah sure. Gabriella is in this class too, Ms. Darbus."

"I see that," she said as she scanned the roll, "well come up and collect your locker number and combination." Troy wandered up to the stage, which Ms. Darbus had at the front of her room, and collected his slip of paper. He saw that he had locker B 29 and his combination was 6, 29, 36.

"Hey," Gabriella whispered, "what is your combination?"

"I'm not telling you," he answered playfully.

"Miss Montez," Ms. Darbus called. Gabriella ran up to the stage, collected her slip of paper and sat back down again.

"Why not? It could come in handy," she argued.

"How can it come in handy?"

"Well," she thought hard, "if you are absent one day I can get the books that you need from homework".

"Okay, fine," and he handed her his slip of paper to her.

"Ooh now I can break into your locker," she said playfully.

"I know you wouldn't do that". He leaned I to kiss her and just as they were about to touch, the bell rang.

"Well, we better get going," she said, standing up, "we have Chemistry together first".

"Okay then. Let's go!" and they walked out of the classroom in search of Taylor, who also had Chemistry with them.


"So, what is your combination?" Troy asked Gabriella as they walked.

"I'm not telling," she answered and held Troy's hand as they walked.

"Why not? I told you mine!"

"I had to beg for it!"

"Meanie…" whispered Troy.

"Fine. I'll show you," she said and she handed him a slip of paper, but it wasn't her combination. Instead it said:

Dinner at my house, 7:00pm. Don't be late!

"Hey! Yes I'll come. GIVE ME THE COMBINATION!!" he yelled playfully.

"Fine, this is the combination," she said and she handed him another slip of paper. This one had the combination. It was 3, 31,12 and her locker number was B 20.

"Awesome! Your locker is nine away from mine! He exclaimed and he kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Hey Taylor," said Gabriella.

"Hey guys," Taylor replied. They met Taylor outside her homeroom. They slowly made their way to the Chemistry lab.

"How did I become so honoured to be in such a difficult class with the two smartest girls in the school?" Troy asked. Gabriella blushed whilst Taylor just rolled her eyes.

"You're a suck," she said to Troy.

"I am being truthful," he argued.

"If you two are going to be in classes with me, I don't want to end up puking okay! So can we skip the mushy stuff?" she asked. Just at that moment, Troy stopped and pulled Gabriella into a passionate kiss. Taylor kept walking as if she didn't know them and stopped a few metres away from them. They only pulled away from each other when the bell went.

"We can start that rule now," teased Troy as they entered the lab.


Their break couldn't come fast enough. Gabriella had gotten told off several times for out-smarting their teacher and she was now in the bad books. Troy and Gabriella finished at their lockers and wondered outside to their usual spot. All of the gang was already there.

"Hey guys," Gabriella said as they approached the circle.

"Hey," most of them replied. Zeke and Sharpay were too busy making out so Sharpay merely lifted her hand in their direction.

"Those two make me sick. I know what you mean Taylor," Kelsi said.

"Thank you, someone agrees with me," Taylor replied.

"Oh guys did I tell you what happened on our way to Chemistry?" Taylor said.

"What?" asked Chad, thinking there was something wrong. Taylor told them the story of Troy and Gabriella's rule. When she finished, Chad blurted out,

"What the hell is wrong with you man?"

"Nothing, everything is perfectly fine," Troy said.

"I am so glad we aren't like that Chad," Taylor said.

"Come on, don't I can't get even one kiss?" Chad looked at her with puppy dog eyes.

"Maybe one isn't so bad," Taylor said and Chad leaned in for a light kiss.


Before they knew it, their first day was over. As the group usually did, they crashed in Troy's basement. Having nowhere else to go, Sharpay followed them.

"Why do you keep following us everywhere? You're like our puppy dog," Troy commented.

"Well I don't have anywhere else to go," she complained.

"Loner…" Chad muttered under his breath. They turned on the T.V. and flicked through the channels, finally settling on Hannah Montana.

"Hey, the main girl's side-kick is hot," Chad commented.

"Her name is Lily, Sharpay said, "and she isn't a sidekick,"

"She is still hot," Chad commented.

"Chad, do you care that your girlfriend is sitting right next to you?" Gabriella said, sticking up for Taylor.

"No," Chad replied.

"What are you trying-"

"I'm just kidding," Chad said, dropping his arm around Taylor. Taylor shifted nervously.

"Come on Taylor, I was just kidding," Chad said.

"I know," She replied.

"Taylor, all guys are like that. Troy still goggles over the cheerleaders," Gabriella said. Troy suddenly clicked.

"What? I do not!" Troy protested.

"I'm joking," Gabriella said and she gave him a kiss on the cheek and settled into his chest.

"Yeah, I guess your right Gabi," Taylor said even though she wasn't listening. She leaned over and kissed Chad lightly on the lips. Chad leant in for more but Taylor had already turned her head to look at the TV.


At about 6:30 Ryan stood up.

"Well, we have to go," he said, putting his phone back in his pocket, "mum has dinner ready."

"See you at school," Sharpay said and they went upstairs and out the door.

"Yeah, I better go too," Taylor said.

"And me," Zeke, Jason and Kelsi said at the same time.

"See you tomorrow," Taylor said. She kissed Chad on the cheek and walked up the stairs with the rest of them.

"Gabi, we have to go don't we? It is almost 7:00," Troy said.

"I guess that means that I have to go too then?" Chad asked.

"Ahh… Yeah, sorry man," Troy said sympathetically.

"It's cool. Enjoy your dinner with the Gabster," he said and he walked upstairs.

"Let's go," Gabriella said and she dragged Troy up the stairs. As they walked past the kitchen, Troy shouted out to his mum,

"Mum! I'm going to Gabi's for dinner!"

"Okay honey, have fun!" she yelled back. They both jumped into Troy's car and drove to the Montez's house.


When the walked in the door, Gabriella's mum was yelling into the phone,

"I don't care what it takes! Just fix it!!" and she slammed down the phone.

"Hi, Mrs. Montez," said Troy.

"Hi, mum," Gabriella said at the same time.

"Hi Troy, hi Gabi. Troy please call me Lena," Lena said, "sorry about that. There is a hole in the wall upstairs and the builder claims that it will take forever to fix."

"Okay. Mum, can Troy stay for dinner?" She asked.

"Of course. We are only having pasta though because I got back from work late."

"That's okay with me," said Troy.

"Mum if you need us, we will be in the lounge," she said. She grabbed Troy's hand and lead him into the lounge.

It was a smallish room. There was one white couch and two white armchairs. There was a T.V. near the wall.

"I haven't been in here before," said Troy as he looked around.

"It is quite a small room, but there is only the two of us so there isn't much point in having it bigger," she explained.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," he responded. Then she pulled him on to the couch and they started making out. Just as they were getting comfy, Lena walked in.

"Dinner is rea--" she had spotted them on the couch. She stopped frozen for what seemed like ten minutes. Troy sat up as quickly as he could.

"Um…we will be there in a second," he replied. Then Lena left the room.

"Oh my God! That was unexpected," He said as Gabriella sat up. There was a moment of silence and then they burst out laughing.

"Did you see her face?!" Gabriella said, still laughing. After five minutes of laughing, they stood up, smoothed out their clothes and walked into the dining area. Lena still seemed to be in shock because she didn't say anything when they sat down.

"Mum, it is okay, I am seventeen," she said.

"I know," she replied, "I'm so sorry, I feel so embarrassed."

"It's fine, we laughed it off," said Troy.


After dinner, Troy, Gabriella and Lena sat on the couch and watch 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Lena seemed to be suspicious because she looked at them every five minutes. "I might go, we have school tomorrow," Troy said and he stood up.

"Yeah. Troy needs to get his sleep otherwise he will be grumpy," Gabriella teased, putting on a baby voice.

"Yes, I do need my sleep," Troy said in a 'matter of fact' tone.

"I'll see you tomorrow," and he pecked her on the mouth.

When Gabriella walked back into the lounge, her mum looked at her.

"I'm so sorry honey," Lena looked as though she was about to cry.

"Mum, it's fine. He had a good time. He thought it was funny," Gabriella said.

"Oh, well that's okay then," she said calmly.

"Mum, I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight," she walked up to her mum and gave her a hug.


When Troy got home, the house was silent. He went into the kitchen to get a drink and jumped when he saw his dad at the table reading the newspaper.

"Where have you been?" Jack asked.

"I was at Gabi's house," he replied.

"Why were you back so late?"

"It is only 10:30."

"Yes but it is also a school night."

"Okay, I won't be late again. Now that I am aware of this curfew…"

"Don't get smart with me."

"Okay. Okay."

"On a brighter note, what did you do?"

"Well we went into her lounge for a bit and her mum caught us making out…"

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"Dad, I am eighteen, not eight."

"Yeah sorry. Go on."

Then we had dinner, watched 'Pirates' and then came home."

"Cool."

"Yeah. I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight dad," said Troy, then he went upstairs.
