Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical only the plot and any original characters (Aaron, Connor, Annabelle and Amber). Chapter 2 With the gang

"So what did they want?" Taylor asked as Jason and Zeke walked back over to them.

"They told us we shouldn't be dating you so we told them we can and walked away." Zeke explained. Sharpay leaned up and gave Zeke a kiss on the cheek. Soon they saw Troy and Chad heading back their way looking mad.

"What happened?" Gabriella asked quietly as she saw Troy was mad.

"They started to tell me I should be dating the head cheerleader because I was captain and I got mad and told him to deal with it if he has a problem they I pulled Chad away." Troy stated full of anger. Before anyone else got to speak the bell rang and Ms Darbus walked in.

"Good morning students. I just want to congratulate those students who went on the school trip on their behaviour." The gang all smiled at each other thinking about what happened between them all. She continued to make her morning announcements before the bell rang and they all walked of to their first lesson. The girls had double maths while the boys had double English.

With the girls

"Hey your Gabriella Montez aren't you?" a cheerleader asked as she approached the 4 girls. Sharpay recognized her straight off. She was the head cheerleader and figured this would be about Troy.

"Yeah." Gabriella didn't know who she was.

"Well you listen to me. I'm Annabelle Finch and I'm head cheerleader the one Troy Bolton will be dating not you. I don't even see why he's with you its not like you're much competition for me your way too ugly and I'm so pretty. So during free period you will find Troy and tell him it's over then he'll come running to me and I'll have him all to myself." And with that she left the girls who were sat at their desks with their mouths wide open at what had just happened.

Gabriella's P.O.V

I knew this was a mistake going out with Troy. Everyone hates me even more than before. I know Annabelle is probably right. Gabriella what are you talking about she is Annabelle. She is the most annoying person in the school. But then again why would Troy want me when he can have Annabelle or any other girl in this school for a fact. I don't know what to do. I love him but ugh this is so confusing. What am I meant to do? I suddenly felt someone's hand on my arm.

End P.O.V

"Gabi, sweetie are you ok?" Sharpay asked as she turned in her seat to and placed her hand on Gabriella's arm. All Gabriella could do was nod as a few tears rolled down her face. Sharpay gave Kelsi and Taylor a worried look. Sharpay leaned across her desk to Taylor as she ripped a piece of paper out of her book and wrote a note to Kelsi and Taylor.

(Taylor Sharpay Kelsi)

Someone needs to tell Troy what happened otherwise knowing Gabi she will probably do what that little cow told her to do.

I know but how?

Kelsi have you got your cell on you?

Yeah why?

Txt Jason and tell him to tell the others what happened and we will meet them in Troy's secret spot during free period.

Ok.

Do you think Gabi's gonna be ok?

I hope so. And besides that little witch won't get her hands on Troy that easily, I still have the ice princess inside of me just looking for a way to come out ;)

Kelsi and Taylor shook their heads and smiled at Sharpay when they read what she had written. Taylor ripped up the piece of paper as they all got back to their work except Kelsi who was secretly texting Jason. The lesson would be over in 10 minutes.

Ryan watched on from his seat at the back of the room. He genuinely felt sorry for Gabriella because Annabelle had said some pretty mean things but he soon remembered that he wanted to confront the whole gang especially his sister and Zeke.

With the boys

"Hey Troy." A cheerleader said in a very flirtatious way as she came up to Troy and sat on his desk.

"Hi Amber." Troy said as he looked at the guys who were trying not to laugh.

"I was thinking why don't you ditch that Montez girl and I can show you how to have a good time." She whispered into his ear.

"Err, no thanks." With that the cheerleader got up and left the boys alone. The class was messing around as the teacher had to go get something out the staff room.

"Man, that's like the 10th girl this lesson to try it on with you." Chad said as he laughed. All the girls were now becoming very flirtatious at the fact Troy was dating the freaky math girl.

"I know its like all of a sudden because I have a girlfriend everyone decides to try and get me to ask them out." As Troy finished talking Jason felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out as the others looked on in interest as Jason read the message.

"It's from Kelsi."

Read this out to the guys: Annabelle was in our math class and she came over and quite literally told Gabi to break up with Troy because she was going to date him and that Gabi was too ugly to date him and now Gabi hasn't spoke since. Sharpay said to meet up at the secret spot at free period. Lv Kelsi xxx

"I'm going to kill Annabelle. Who does she think she is accusing Gabi of not being pretty and trying to make her break up with me? I wouldn't date her if she was the last person on earth." Troy said angrily as he stood up and dashed out the room as the bell went. The others packed their stuff away and went up to the secret spot.

With Troy

Troy's P.O.V

I can't believe Annabelle would say such nasty things. Actually yes I could. She will do anything to get something she wants. I need to find Gabi and tell her that Annabelle is just jealous and I'm sorry she had to go through that. I waited outside her classroom door waiting for her to leave. I suddenly saw her come out. I quickly pulled her arm and ran so we were in deserted corridor.

End P.O.V

"Gabi I'm so sorry about what Annabelle said to you. She's just jealous that you have me and no one else." Troy lifted her chin so she was looking at him. She was crying so he used his thumb to brush away the tears.

"Troy what are we going to do? Everyone hates us being together and I don't want to have to go through this everyday." She looked at him as he smiled.

"It won't be like this everyday. People will get bored and soon forget about us ok?" Gabriella nodded. "I love you Gabriella Montez and nothing will ever change that." Troy leaned down and kissed her, pushing her up against a locker. After a few minutes they broke apart.

"I love you too Troy." With that Troy gave her another kiss and then lead her towards the secret spot.

With the others

The girls had been explaining the whole story to the guys while they waited for Troy and Gabriella to appear.

"I can't believe Annabelle would do such a thing." Jason said as he hugged Kelsi from behind.

"I can. She will sink as low as possible to get her hands on Troy." Chad suspected as Taylor had her head leaned on his shoulder.

"I just hope Gabi doesn't get really hurt in the middle of all this. From what I know this is nothing compared to what some people will do. But if anyone dares say anything to be the ice princess will reappear with all guns blazing ready to take on everyone." Sharpay declared from her position on Zeke's lap.

Ten minutes later Troy and Gabriella appeared both looking very flustered.

"What happened to you two?" Taylor asked with a smirk on her face.

"No where." Gabriella answered as Troy leaned against the railings and Gabriella leaned against Troy.

"So this is where you've all been hiding?" A familiar voice asked walking up the stairs.

"Ryan what are you doing up here?" Sharpay asked with a worried look on her face.

"I was looking for you Shar, I need to talk to you and I think you forgot to mention some things for me." Ryan told her a she smiled lamely at him.

"Ok fine, I didn't tell you about me and Zeke or about any of the other girls because I knew you would make a big deal out of all this." She stood up so she was looking straight at him.

"Your right I would make a big deal out of this. Sharpay you are in the Drama club and he's a basketball player. You shouldn't be dating him." Ryan shouted at his sister trying to get his message across to her.

"So what if he plays basketball. I don't care I love him so no matter what you say I won't change my mind." Sharpay yelled back.

"You love him?" Ryan asked quizzically.

"You love me?" Zeke asked surprised.

"Yes I love you." She said as she sat back in his lap and smiled at him.

"I love you too." Zeke gave her a kiss as Ryan stomped off. All the girls let out an 'aww' at the couple in front of them. The other boys just stood there rolling their eyes at their girlfriends and held them tight.

The rest of the day was pretty much the same in every lesson. The girls all tried it on with Troy and occasionally with Chad, Zeke and Jason and girls kept telling Gabriella to dump Troy but she was getting used to it and started to ignore it. The same was happening with Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi. As the last bell rang they all walked home not knowing what tomorrow would bring.
