Cowgirl4Christ: Thanks for reviewing!
krisxbun: That chapter was just an opening and now the chapters will be longer. Thanks, I was really working on getting the moment just perfect. I realised yesterday that it's easier to write in the sunroom on a notebook, listening to the rain and looking at the peach tree. Try it sometime :P. Thanks for the review and for putting me on your favourites!

Recap:
"What you haven't seen a girl before?" She hissed. Everyone went to back to silence.
Her footsteps echoed against the silence and even though they had been warned the student's eyes were still following her every move.
She then sat at an empty corner table, reached for her bag, grabbed her notebook and began scribbling in it fiercely.
Whispers quickly broke out in the formerly silent hall.
"Did you see that?"
"It was so scary through! Who cares if she's pretty? She's scary, scary is a major turn-off!"
"OMG I nearly wet my pants!"
"Montez…Latin or Spanish?"
"She's hot as! Dude those curls!"
"Troy, earth to Troy! Snap out of it!" Chad clicked his fingers impatiently while waiting for his best friend to get out of his trance.
"Huh? Yeah I'm here Chad. She's gorgeous, don't you think? Stop clicking, I'm out of it!" Troy was getting annoyed now.
Chad grinned sheepishly and shrugged his shoulders. He screwed up his face "Meh…I have Taylor, I'm happy, new girl is pretty through." He proved his point by wrapping his arms round his girlfriend's waist and gently kissing her cheek.
She leaned back into his embrace but still continued her conversation with Ryan and Sharpay.
"Shar I'm telling you, her eyes! You saw them right! Anger and bitterness was all there. Her eye's looked colder than your reign of Ice Princess, if you were the Ice Princess she's Ice Queen!"
"Ry, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't mention that, that is the past! This is the present! To answer your question, yes I did see her eyes. They were cold I admit but having the whole population of East High looking at you is scary! We should go introduce ourselves, she looks lonely." Sharpay gave her another glance before adding "Very lonely."
Yeah Ryan, go over there, study her eyes, see what the cause of her cold, anger and bitterness is about and write it for your psychology paper." Taylor said sarcastically.
Chad continued "Yeah Ryan study her" He raised his eyebrows suggestively, then "Ouch Taylor stop elbowing, it hurts. I mean study her eyes Ryan." Chad then winked behind Taylor's back.
Ryan threw Chad a glare before replying coolly "Chad, just incase you didn't know, I have a girlfriend whom I love very much and we have been going out for 1 year now." He then blew a kiss to Kelsi, who blushed, caught the kiss and sent one back.
A panting Zeke rushed up to the table, gave Sharpay a quick peck on the lips before talking. "Sorry guys, cooking class ran late but I brought leftovers…" He said with a grin.
Everyone grinned back already knowing how delicious Zeke's leftovers were. They all grabbed a cookie as Zeke sat next to his girlfriend.
While everyone was silent apart from the occasional munch. Kelsi finished her bite and spoke up.
"Why doesn't Troy go over there and say hi and bring her back her so we can properly welcome her. We all know he needs a girlfriend." Kelsi rolled her eyes playfully.
The table all groaned and said:
"Kelsi now you have gotten him started"
"KELSI!"
"Do I have to listen to the speech again?"
"Kelsi I officially hate you"
"Don't hate my girlfriend Chad!"
"There has to be a balance in the world Ryan… You love her, I hate her!"
A loud cough interrupted them. Troy was standing up and the gang all rolled their eyes all knowing what he was going to say.
"Yes my delightful and wonderful friends, I must drum this into your peanut size brains. Taylor you are excused from that statement. Kelsi practically screamed 'Troy give your incredible speech again' so if you want someone to blame. Blame her." Troy stopped and gave her a playful wink before continuing.
"I don't want a girlfriend, I want a friend, I want a best friend who I can tell anything to. She has to be-"
At this point the gang interrupted and chorused in a monotone "-intelligent, beautiful, inside and outside" They all winked in perfect unison. "Caring, kind, sense of humour and won't be afraid to get angry at me-"
Troy coughed loudly and they all stopped, Troy started "-because then I know she isn't just using me for social status but most importantly-"
"-She has to like us and we have to like her!" They all finished.
Chad drew one arm away from Taylor's waist and patted Troy on the back.
"Wonderful speech and high expectations as always and good luck getting a girlfriend." Chad whispered.
"Ha-Ha very funny Chad, love your sense of humour" Troy remarked dryly.
"Dude, go over there, talk to her, study her, get to know her and then bring her back to us so we can approve." He winked and raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Shut up Chad" Troy said as he stood up and lightly shoved his friend. He put his hands in his pockets before causally walking over to the table in the corner.
Troy had only walked a few steps before rushing back to the table, grabbing the last two cookies out of the container.
"Peace offering; I heard what you said about her eyes Ryan."
"Damn that boy, he's got charm, chiasma and enough romantic notions to make us all vomit. If he wasn't so picky he would have had heaps of dates, heck even girlfriends by now."
Sharpay caressed his cheek lovingly "Yeah we all know that sweetie, he's just waiting for the one."
"Yeah Zeke and you are both right it's just that he wants her to be his friend first."
Chad added to his girlfriend's statement "It's a stupid motto of his anyway Friend's First, Love Later and god I hate his expectations!" Chad yelled angrily.
You could hardly hear Ryan's question as he had asked it so quietly, "Has he even had his first kiss yet?"
Everyone turned and looked at Chad. He just sighed and shook his head.
Troy had sauntered over to corner table with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the cookies, but on his way he went past the cheerleaders.
They all turned round when he spoke "Ladies" and they all grabbed out compact mirrors to check their appearance. Many of them had red lipstick and reapplied.
He winked at no one in particular when they all turned around again and continued on his way.
He couldn't help grinning when he heard their conversation after he left.
"OMG Jasmine, Troy Bolton just winked at me! I could die today in total bliss!"
"I'm so jealous Amy! Troy winked at me the other day through!"
"Don't you think he has the cutest wink ever?"
"And butt!"
A gasp was emitted among the cheerleaders. "You did not just say that!"
He finally got out of hearing range with his ego about to explode.
He reached Miss Montez's table, she was on the opposite side. He carelessly laid his free hand down and put the cookies on the table.
She still didn't look up but continued writing. He walked half way round the table and leant over her shoulder. She snapped her notebook shut and furiously glared at him.
Feisty! I like it! Don't normally get glares!
"What do you want?" Gabriella jeered bitterly. I put up his hands in mock defeat and pretended to wave a white peace flag. "I just wanted to welcome you to East High and I brought choc chip cookies." I threw in the Bolton grin my dad was always telling me about.
"I gave the Bolton grin to your mother and look where she is!" He keeps telling me.
"Anyway I'm Troy-"She curtly interrupted me "So you're the Troy Bolton?"
I was speechless so she took that as a yes. She added a highly irritated groan and her voice rose with each statement "Ughh I couldn't get away from you! Your face was on posters and walls! Your name was on trophies! Don't even ask me what I though about the blasted gym!" She was standing up now a couple of inches shorter than me.
"I guess you didn't like the gym very much eh Poppet?"
"You guess!" She shrieked and then stopped suddenly as if comprehending something. "Poppet…Poppet! What kind of name is that?" She seethed.
"A nickname, what do you think it is?" I paused and added poppet just to annoy her.
"My name is Gabriella, no Gabi, no Ella and no Gabriel, call me Gabriella."
"Sure poppet, you could have just asked!"
Gabriella's eyes flashed dangerously with anger and before I could even blink, her hand had grabbed my collar. Her face was centimetres from mine.
