It's been a month since Troy started speaking Gabriella and they are getting on really well. Her step dad as even slacked of ordering her about and let's her go round to Troy's after school. Though he is still an alcoholic and beats Gabriella.
Taylor the girl Troy told Gabriella about is Gabriella's friend.
Troy notices that when Gabriella is at his house she's relaxed and fun to be around but refuses to go in the pool.
"There is going to be a day when you go in that pool" states Troy
"You can't make me" says Gabriella
"You have a fear of water or something?" asks Troy
"No I just don't want to go in the pool" says Gabriella
"So how's life treating ya Sharpay's laid of you?" asks Troy
"No" says Gabriella
Gabriella looks at her watch.
"Oh I must get going" she says
"Yeah of course you step dad needs he tea you going to be late want a lift?" asks Troy
"Yeah thanks" says Gabriella
In the car just after they have pulled up at Gabriella's.
"Are you sure about me coming to yours tomorrow I thought your basketball friends were coming round" says Gabriella
"They cancelled on me or me on them can't remember which it's fine but tomorrow you are going in the pool no ifs ands or buts" says Troy
"Fine" says Gabriella thinking I'm sure I have a one piece swim suit which will cover my torso.
Gabriella gets out the car and runs into her house and quickly starts on dinner.
"Gabriella I have some business parents coming round tomorrow for tea so I need you in by 2 to make the dinner pot roast for 20" says her step dad
"20 I don't know how to cook for 20 people" says Gabriella earning herself a smack round the head
"Well learn this is an important dinner and you will make it" says her step dad
"Yes ok" says Gabriella
Gabriella prepares the dinner and puts it down in front of her step dad and goes upstairs to phone Troy she catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror, red cheek with bruise already starting to form across her cheek bone and eye.
"Troy hi It's my Gabi I can't come tomorrow sorry my step dad as people coming round in the evening and I have to spend practically all day preparing the meal sorry" says Gabriella
"You kidding right?" asks Troy
"I wish I were but no I have to I don't even know how to cook for 20 people or cook a pot roast" moans Gabriella
"I'll come round and help my mum makes them at Christmas and I get rope into helping so I have a fair idea of what I'm doing is that ok?" Troy
"I'll have to go ask one second" says Gabriella and goes down stairs
"Um dad, you know Troy is it alright if he comes round tomorrow because he wants to help me cook the pot roast?" asks Gabriella
"Yeah that's fine as long as it is cooked by 6" says her dad
Gabriella runs back upstairs.
"He says that's fine but do you know how to do it for 20 people and the ingredients?" asks Gabriella
"Mum has the recipe to make it for 10 so we just double it, I'll borrow the recipe of my mum and we'll go shopping for the ingredients" says Troy
"Um ok" says Gabriella
"I gotta go now see you tomorrow bye" says Troy
"Bye" says Gabriella and hangs up
Next day Gabriella covers up the bruising on her face, finds something to wear and gets down the stairs just as the door bell goes she opens the door to find Troy.
"You ready to go?" asks Troy
"Um yeah sure just let me grab some money and tell my step dad I'm going" says Gabriella
Gabriella goes back into the house, to the kitchen and finds her step dad, she goes to the cupboard to get some money from the house keeping jar.
"Um dad I'm going now to get the ingredients with Troy for the pot roast" says Gabriella
"Oh their okay turns out I don't need to host it here were going to a restaurant" says her step dad and leaves for work.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO IN YOUR POOL OKAY" shouts Gabriella
"Whoa okay okay" says Troy
"Sorry" mutters Gabriella
"No worries think I'll call the guys see if I can scheduled something" says Troy leaving
Gabriella silently screams at herself and hits the wall with her fist, only to realize that was stupid as pain travels down her hand. Her step dad phones telling the reservation at the restaurant couldn't be made so it was back on at their house. Gabriella phones Troy.
"What?" asks Troy
"Listen I'm sorry I shouted but I'm um need you help that is if you haven't scheduled something with your guys" says Gabriella
"No what's up?" asks Troy

"Why?" asks Troy
"Um I was angry at myself for shouting at you" mutters Gabriella
"Hey didn't offend me you had every right to shout at me I keep pestering you to use my pool. Heck I'd get annoyed if someone kept asking me to do something and I didn't want to" says Troy
"So we're good?" asks Gabriella
"Yeah so let's go shopping for the ingredients" says Troy
At the supermarket they get the ingredients and leave the supermarket when Troy spots a bunch of his mates.
"Get in the car and keep your head down" says Troy

"What nothing" mutters Troy
"Your ashamed to be seen with me in public is that it is that what it you know what Bolton thanks for the help I'll find the recipe online and make it myself without you help" says Gabriella
Gabriella hauls the bags into the house and closes the door in his face.
