Chapter 2: hurt, friend, caring.

Yes, he showed her around.
Yes, he had a good time.
No, he would never say that out loud.

The next day when Troy walked in to school , Chad at his side, his eyes immediately fell on this beautiful brown eyed girl, and he felt something. He didn't know what it was, so he ignored it.

Gabriella thought she had made a friend yesterday, because they were always laughing and having such a good time. So she walked up to Troy , to talk to him.

' hey Troy' she said with a big smile, then she looked into his eyes, and she felt something, but didn't know what it was, so she ignored it.
The next moment her smile faltered.
Troy looked at Chad, and said something to him. Gabriella didn't hear it completely but it sounded a lot like 'what a stupid geek, how dare she talk to me'.
She felt tears sting her eyes, and quickly walked away.
Troy knew he had hurt her, but it was for the best. They can never be friends because of the status quo, but that didn't mean he didn't like her. Like ? like !? I don't like her, she's just another geek !he thought. But he knew deep inside that he really liked her. Really really liked her.

Gabriella just ran away, she didn't know where she was going , she just kept running until she was out of breath. She fell down on her knees, and finally looked up to see where she was.
The gym.
fuck, why did I come here? She thought. ( AN: never knew she had such a dirty mound right? Even though she thought it .. never mind. )
But then she remembered. This is where it all began.
She heard the doors open, but didn't dare to look who it was that came in.

' hey, are you okay ? '
'yeah, I'm fine.'
'you don't look like it. Either way, my name is Sharpay.'
'I'm Gabriella.'
'okay, so are you going to tell me why you are crying in the gym ? '
'ooh, it's nothing..'
'come on, I'm a good listener.'

So Gabriella told Sharpay everything, and Sharpay listened and told Gabriella 'the Troy-Bolton-Story'.
Now Gabi understood why he said those things. He was supposed to be the bad boy. Drinking, smoking and drugs. So he just couldn't hang out with ' a geek like her', geeks were friends with other geeks. He had his basketball team. They weren't supposed to mingle. And even though neither of them said it, and even though they aren't in the same groups, Shar and Gabi were friends now. Sharpay just hugged Gabriella and tried to comfort her, when they both heard the door open again.

' hi ..' Troy said softly ' I didn't mean to hurt you' He didn't know where that came from. He wasn't even supposed to care that she was hurt. But it was his fault so..
'it's okay Troy, I understand' Gabriella said.
And they both understood. They didn't even had to say another word. With Sharpay staring at them in amusement and confusion, Troy and Gabriella just stared at each other. They didn't need words to tell each other that they weren't meant to happen, they both knew and understood. It was some kind of rule at their school. No mingling with other cliques.
But rules are meant to be broken , right ?
