Troys pov

I went up to my locker and threw my books in my locker. Sharpay never showed up for our last few classes. That was weird! Sharpay hates school but she never misses classes. She always goes to school. Even when she's sick! I've known Sharpay for years. She's very restless. She can never stay inside. Her twin brother Ryan is so different. He would do anything for a day off school. Sharpay seemed very excited about the new girl. So I'm guessing thats why she missed class. I wonder how Sharpay and the new girl know eachother. I don't think I've seen Sharpay so excited before. Sharpay is nice but if you were mean to her she would fight back. I closed my locker and started to walk towards the gym. I was thinking about what Chad was saying, about the new girl being "A Sob Story" I never thought about it like that. Chad is my bestfriend he always says what he thinks. The teachers told us that she was badly burnt in a accident and that we were not allowed talk to her about the accident unless she brought it up. When they said that I thought she was trying to make a new start and forget her past. Now if the teachers told us to give her loads of attention cause of the accident then I would see her as a sob story. I walked past our schools stage I could hear giggling coming from inside the room. So I went in to see what was going on.

When Troy entered the room he saw Sharpay and a girl, who he had never seen before, standing on the stage.

"That must be the new girl!" Troy thought to himself.

Sharpay, who was standing on a box that was on the stage, caught sight at Troy and waved.

"HEY TROY!" She yelled while jumping of the box.

Sharpay ran down from the stage and towards Troy. The girl followed her.

"Troy this is Gabriella." Said Sharpay. "Gabby this is Troy, the basketball star."

Troy held out his hand and Gabriella accepted.

"I'm just showing Gabriella the stage." Said Sharpay, running back up onto the stage and Gabriella followed her.

As Gabriella ran back onto the stage her sleeve went up a little and Troy caught sight of the burns. The girls didn't notice. Troy shivered a little at the throught of how much pain Gabriella must have went through. Troy looked at Gabriella. She had long dark curly hair, tan skin and big brown eyes. She looked happy on the stage with Sharpay. It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful and full of energy had been through so much.

"This is awesome!" Said Gabriella. "When to we get to do a play here?"

"We do a musical here when we are seniors." Said Troy.

(A/N: They are not seniors in this story!!)

"What was the last musical the seniors did?" Asked Sharpay.

"I think it was Grease!" Said Troy.

"I hope we get to do that for our senior musical." Said Sharpay. "If we do I wanna play Sandy!"

"No! I'm gonna be Sandy!" Joked Troy, getting on the stage with the girls.

"I'm Sandy!" Said Sharpay in a high voice.

"I'm Sandy!" Said Troy in a even higher voice.

"HEY SANDY!" Yelled a dark voice.

Gabriella and Sharpay backed away as the voice came closer to the stage.

"Your team needs you in the gym!" The man yelled, who had dark brown hair.

"Who's that?" Whispered Gabriella.

"The backetball coach!" Sharpay whispered back. "He's also Troy's dad!"

"YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO CHANGE AND GET DOWN TO THE GYM!!" Coach Bolton yelled before storming out.

Troy looked at the girls

"Okay Sharpay you can be Sandy! I just wanna be Troy!"

Troy ran out and the girls started laughing.

Gabriella's pov

I liked Troy. He was fun to be with. The best thing was that he never asked about my burns. I know that he might have seen them but still he didn't make a comment. Now you know why I came here. Everyone in my old school would just keep asking me what happened. As you already know I hate talking about it. I don't like the fact people here know about the burns but I'm just happy that they don't know how I got them. Well they would have found out about the burns, I can't hide them forever. The bell rang and Sharpay turned to me.

"I better get you to your first ever class here!" She said, Smiling.

She grabbed my hand and we both ran to class.

In the locker room Troy and Chad were getting ready to go to class.

"So Dude where were you?" Asked Chad.

"I was with Sharpay and Gabriella." Said Troy.

"Who's Gabriella?" Asked a confused Chad.

Troy paused for a moment.

"Gabriella is the new girl." Said Troy, closing his eyes while waiting for Chad's reaction.

"Now tell me." Started Chad, putting his hand on Troy's shoulder. "A sab story?"

"No!" Said Troy. "She said nothing about the burns."

"For now!" Said Chad, rolling his eyes.

"Chad why do you hate this girl so much?" Asked Troy.

"Dude it's not that I hate her" Said Chad. "It's I know these type of people!"

"What type of people?" Said Troy raising his voice. "Your just confusing me now!"

Troy got up and started to walk to class. Chad grabbed his bag and ran after Troy.

"Look Dude." Said Chad. "What I mean is she will use the burns for attention or else she will start doing it in a few weeks!"

"Dude your an Idiot!" Said Troy, walking faster. Trying not not be late.

When they entered the classroom Miss Darbus was already there.

"You boys are late!" She snapped.

The boy sat down in their seats while Gabriella and Sharpay sat together in the back. The class went by in a blur. The rest of the day flew in. As Troy ws getting ready to go home Chad ran up to him.

"Wheres the new girl? I didn't see her yet!"

"Chad you are making no sence at all!" Said Troy. "One minute you hate her and next you can't wait to see her."

"Come on! I just wanna see what she looks like!"

"There she is!" Said Troy, noticing Gabriella walk down the hall with Sharpay both girls were laughing.

"Thats her?" Asked Chad.

"Yeah!"

Chad stared at Gabriella leaving the building with Sharpay. It was like he had never seen a girl before.

"A sob story?" Asked Troy.

"I don't know anymore!" Said Chad. "She looks normal!"

"Right!" Said Troy. "Seeya tomorrow!"

Troy ran out of the school and ran to the school bus.
