A/N: I do not own anything but the plot.

Sorry, I haven't updated in awhile. I've been busy with a lot of schoolwork. Well on with the story. Enjoy.

Gabriella went through the morning all right. She was scarred that Trevor was here at her school, but Troy saved her. Troy. Wow. Troy Bolton. He was so hot. He had the most beautiful blue eyes the world had every seen. You could melt right into them. And his body. He has a strong, cuddly chest. His hair was light brown. It was all shaggy and fell right before his eyes. The lunch bell rung and Gabi walked to go meet Troy. She ran into Trevor unfortunately when she turned the corner from her classroom.

" Trevor, what do you want? I need to go meet my friend in the cafeteria." Gabi said as she looked into in eyes. She was determined to be strong.

" Excuse me? I want my girlfriend with me at lunch with me and my friends." He replied coldly.

" But.. I don't like your friends. I want to sit with my friend." She wined.

"Too damn bad. Now lets go." He replied as he started to pull her arm. Gabi tried to get out of his grasp. He pulled her closer and continued dragging her.

" No, I don't want too. Now let go!" She cried. He whipped his arm around and whacked her hard in the face. The force of the blow was so hard it sent her tumbling into the lockers. She looked up at him in fear. He punched Gabi in the stomach. She fell to the floor. He bent down and whispered in her ear " if you tell anybody, you are dead. Remember that" he said as he kissed her on the lips and walked away. Gabi cried and rocked back and forth. She finally got up and went to lunch to meet Troy. Troy was still standing there looking at her worried. She walked up to him and put on a fake smile.

" Hey Troy. Ready?" She asked mustering up all her strength.

" Hey, Yea. Are you all right? What's on your face? He asked.

" Oh this? I was at my locker when I walked into someone's locker." I lied.

"Oh OK. Well come on." He replied. He dragged her up a flight on stairs and into a garden conservatory.

"Wow, it's pretty." Gabriella said.

"Yea, but your prettier." He replied. She blushed.

So, umm what do you like to do for fun?" Troy asked since he had nothing else to say.

" Well, I love to read. I write poems and songs. I love to have fun. What about you?" She asked.

"Umm. I play basketball, love hanging out with my friends and my little sister and brother." He replied.

" Cool I am a only child." I stated. The bell rung. " Come on, we better go to class." We run down the stairs and go to English class. As soon as we enter, all heads turn our way and whispers ring out:

"Wow, Look at them. Are they dating?"

"I want to be Troy. She is so hot"

"She better not think she is going to steal him away from me"

Gabriella and Troy took their seats. The teacher, Mrs. Martins started going on with today's lecture. Troy turned and smiled at Gabi. She smiled back. Everyone was watching them. Chad turned to Troy.

" Hey Troy, what's with you and the new girl? I means she's hot but come on, she's not exactly "cool" material." Chad said. Gabi heard and sunk in her chair. A tear fell from her eye. Troy shot Chad a death glare.

" First off, she is cool. She's really nice. Don't make fun of her. You may not like her but I do." Troy replied trying to keep his cool.

" Whatever" Chad replied. It was silent for the remainder of the class. When the bell rung, it was the end of the day. Gabriella headed for her car. Troy saw her and ran after her. He caught up with her at her car.

"Gabi, look I'm sorry what Chad said. He's not very bright. I really like you and want to be friends with you." He said in a rushed voice as he tried to catch his breath.

" Its fine. I have to go see you tomorrow." She said as she opened her car door.

"Hey, an I have your number?"He asked.

"Sure. Here. (Insert Gabi's Number) see you later. Bye" she replied.

"Bye" he breathed as he looks at her and watched her drive off. Troy got in his car and drove off.

When Gabi got home she went upstairs and did her homework, took a shower, and climbed into bed dreaming about Troy Bolton.

Sorry it's short. I'll update soon. Please review.
