SUMMARY: Troy Bolton has never had much luck at any school he attended. He's usually branded as a freak and never makes a lot of friends. His parents died when he was young and his stepfather abuses him. He meets Gabriella Montez, the rich spoiled ice queen and starts to hate her. She really wants him and that makes him hate her more until he finds out that she is failing her history class and agrees to tutor her. But falling in love with her certainly wasn't part of his plan. What will happen when she finds out about him being abused and wants to help him? Will he let her?
CHAPTER ONE
I groaned, extremely annoyed.
This stupid kid has not stopped kicking my chair since we got on this plane and that was like at least five hours ago. I just wish he would stop.
What is so good about this place? Someone please tell me. I would much rather have stayed in Philadelphia but no, instead, I was forced to move here by the stupid asshole I am forced to call a stepfather. He hates my guts. If I'm lucky, he will actually give me some food.
As I said, my stepfather really hates me. What the hell did I ever do to him? It does not really matter though. I cannot stand him just as much as he cannot stand me. He's always saying stuff like my parents didn't die, even though I know for a fact they did, and that they left me because they knew I'm useless and that I was just a mistake and I never should have been born.
It is about time we got off that stupid smelly plain. That kid behind me was really getting on my last nerve. I was so close to knocking the living daylights out of him. If his father were not there, I probably would have. No joke, I really would have. I hate it when little kids kick the back of my seat.
I looked out the window and noticed that we are about to land. I quickly gathered my things, stuffed them in my backpack, and sat back in my chair.
Finally, after a six-hour flight, we have finally landed. It is about time. That kid was really getting on my nerves. I stood up behind Walter, as you can tell, I do not call him dad, and he has earned no right for me to call him dad, and followed him out of the plane.
"I'm going to get our luggage. You wait here, you worthless piece of shit" he told me. I am so used to him calling me all these types of names so now it does not bother me. I could care less if the bastard hates me. I really could.
Before I knew it, he walked away. I sat back on the chair and looked around the airport.
I remember once I used to work in airport and you are never going to guess who visited the airport while I was working. Zac Efron. I am not kidding, but it was only him, no Vanessa. He really is not as bad as everyone makes him sound. He is actually a nice person.
It is funny how some people insist that I look a lot like him too. I personally do not think I look like anything like him but I have had people telling me that we look scarily alike. It is weird.
"Son of a bitch!" I heard a high pitch voice yell out. What is going on here? Why is someone yelling out like that? What happened? "This thing is a piece of shit" I looked over to see where the voice was coming from.
I saw a girl around my age with blonde hair and brown eyes sitting on a chair in the airport, holding a laptop on her lap while a young blonde haired boy, who also happens to be around my age just shook his head. She angrily smacked her laptop.
Gee, hitting the thing is really going to help her. One thing I know from being around computers my whole life is to never hit a computer. That will only make things worse and the laptop will eventually break after a while. That is the worst thing you could possibly do.
I quickly got up from my seat and walked towards her. "You know, smacking a computer is probably the worst thing you could ever do to a computer," I told her. She lifted her to look at me with a death look written all over her face. What did I do wrong? I only told her truth.
"Umm, who are you? And why are you telling me what to do with my laptop?" Blondie asked me and damn, she seems angry. What am I doing wrong? I am only trying to help her. What a fucking bitch.
"Okay, fine, I see how it is. I was only trying to help you" I shot back while I held my hands up.
I turned around and walked away from them when I heard someone calling after me. I turned around to see the guy. I folded my arms across my chest. "I'm sorry about her. She's a bitch, everyone knows it, even she does," he said. Really, I could not tell. "I'm Ryan and that's my sister, Sharpay. Are you new?" he asked me.
I gave him a quick nod. "I'm Troy and I just moved here from Philadelphia. It's nice to meet you" I told him and held my out for him to shake. He smiled and took my hand.
"So, where are your parents?" he asked me.
"They died a few years ago in a car accident," I told him, wincing at the memory. I still remember everything about that day. I know they would not want me to stay in the care of man, who abuses me. My dad would have killed him by now.
His smile fell when I told him that. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" he told me.
I shook my head. All though it is hard to admit they really are gone; it had gotten much easier to live with. I miss them like crazy. "No, it's alright. It happened years ago," I told him.
(A/N: This is Samie)
I heard that Sharpay girl yell at her computer and hit it. I could not stand her hitting the computer so I walked over to her. "Oh come on you stupid computer UN freeze." She yelled and hit it a third time. I was getting very pissed.
"Look, I know computers and that is just going to make it worse." I looked at her. She still looked angry but that didn't scare me I have seen worse with Walter beating me up. Sharpay looked at me.
"Fine, if you think you're so smart then prove it. Here's my damn Laptop for you to fix." She practically threw her laptop at me. Wow, this girl has anger issues. How could she throw a laptop at someone? She's so lucky I caught otherwise; she'd be out at least a thousand dollars. Laptops are very expensive, but I seriously think she wouldn't care.
I walked over and sat next down to her, looking at the computer. I seriously wanted to laugh, she doesn't know anything. The computer froze, all you have to do is restart it and it will be fine. I didn't expect Blondie to know that though, she doesn't exactly seem very smart. I restarted the computer and waited for it to come back on before I gave it back to her. "There, good as new" I told her.
"I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you. When these things happen, I get mad. I have no patience for computer," she told me. I could tell she felt bad about snapping at me like she did before.
"No problem." I said as I saw Walter coming my way. I didn't want them to see how horrible Walter is to me. "It was nice meeting you both but I got to go. I'll see you around." I said as I started to walk away. I didn't even give them a chance to say there goodbyes because Walter would kick my ass if he saw me talking to other people.
I walked by Walter and I got a little push from him to move faster. "Move, you peace of shit. I don't have all day. Let's go," He told me as we left the airport.
Albuquerque doesn't seem like it's a bad place, like I thought it was going to be.
---
It was the next morning and I had to walk to school because I have no car and I just needed to get away from Walter. He was being a pain in the ass that he usually is because he would not let me take a shower and I had to wear the same old clothes that I have been wearing for the past two weeks.
Fuck my life, can this get any worse. I don't think so. So here, I was walking down the street going to school. This was my second day here so I wasn't sure where I was going. So I just kept walking in the direction where I thought East High was. Then I heard a car slow down. I looked to see who the person was and I saw Sharpay driving in a pink Coverable with the top on. I saw Ryan in the back seat and some other girl in the front seat with Sharpay.
"Hey Troy, we are on are way to school do you want a ride." Sharpay asked me. I thought about it. Maybe it's not a bad idea.
"Umm sure" I said as I walked to the door and I opened it, slowly sitting on the backseat of the car with Ryan as Sharpay pulled away.
"Hey, Troy how was your first night in your new house?" Ryan asked me as I threw my bag on the floor. I picked my head up and looked in the front to see the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. Oh my god, she's extremely hot.
She is beautiful Hispanic girl with long black wavy hair. She had dark skin, makes me wonder if she went tanning. Still, she is so fucking hot. She is wearing a grey American Eagle sweatshirt with a white tank top underneath and a pair of light blue jeans, and a pair of chestnut ugg boots.
I looked at Ryan when he sat up to look at me. "Troy, this is Gabriella," he told me, pointing to the beautiful girl in the front seat, introducing me to her. "Gabriella, this is Troy. He's new here," he told her. She turned around to look and I held my hand out for her to shake.
Instead of shaking my hand, she gave a disgusted look. "Yeah whatever" she told me and turned around in her seat. "You know, you should really get your hair washed because it looks disgusting," She said, snarling at me, causing my jaw to drop.
I couldn't believe she would say that to me. She does know a one thing about me or what I go through everyday. If it were up to me, I would wash my hair and get new clothes. "Oh and were did you go get your clothes at, a garage sale? You need someone to show you what really style is because from what I see you don't know what style is and taking a shower everyday would make you look and smell better." Gabriella started laughing again.
"Gabriella, enough, Troy's new; we want him to feel welcome." Ryan defended me. At least someone cares about my feelings. I can't believe I thought this girl was hot and gorgeous. I thought she would be nice but she is a freaking bitch. Figures, doesn't it?
"Does it look like I care about him being new, I don't care if I hurt his feelings because by the look on his face I hurt him? But I don't give a damn what he thinks because as far as I can see he is just a loser that wants to fit in but he can't." Gabriella said.
"Ryan's right, Gabriella back off. He helped me with my computer yesterday so leave him alone" Sharpay defend me. I was surprised. The only thing I knew is that I hate Gabriella Montez with a passion. The bitch should learn when to keep her mouth shut. If she knew how hard my life, then she wouldn't be saying shit.
It felt like I was in the car for hours. I wanted to get the hell away from the car and as far away from Gabriella as possible. "It's the honest truth. Oh, come on, Shar, as soon as he's out of car, you're going to make in fun of him, that's how you are" Gabriella told Sharpay, making me hate her more and more. The only thing I want is to get the heck of this car.
"Hey Troy are you ok, don't listen to anything Gabriella says. Ok, I am your friend and I have your back" Ryan said. I smiled and nodded my head.
"Yeah, I'm fine I just want to get there already so I don't have to listen to her talk about me." I told Ryan. We were whispering so the bitch and Sharpay can't hear us as Blondie pulled into the schools parking lot.
Finally the car stopped. As soon as it stopped, I got out and started walking when I heard one more rude comment from Gabriella. "Yeah, cry to your mommy, it will make you more look like a loser" she said as I walked away.
I'm pissed now I seriously wanted to fucking punch her in the nose but I would never hit a girl. Ryan walked with me. "Just ignore her man, she's a bitch." Ryan told me.
"I plan on it," I said and Ryan laughed. I couldn't help but laugh too. "Why is she such a bitch though? No one can be that mean, can they?" I asked him as we walked towards the door. There has to be a reason why that Gabriella girl is such bitch and it is making me wonder why.
"Her father is rich and she's a spoiled brat. Literally, she gets everything she wants with no questions asked" Ryan told me as we walked into the office. "Don't waste your breathe on her, she's not worth it" ok, I know he's right but I can't get over how much of a bitch she is.
"Let's get your schedule and I'll show you around" he told me. I gave him a quick nod and I went up to the desk and told the assistant that I'm new. She gave me my schedule and I thanked before I walked out of the office with Ryan.
My first day at East High, I hope it's going to be a lot better then Philadelphia.
