Chapter 2
The three of them linked arms and began the walk that seemed to take forever to get to the front doors of East High School.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Nobody's POV)
As the doors got closer, each girl silently took a deep breath, willing themselves forward inside. They knew what to expect and soon as they entered the doors. The whole hall-way to go silent, then in one fluid moment, one person would begin to laugh which would set off a Mexican wave of laughter. Then would come the comments
"Look, she looks like she comes from the old days"
"What's with all their shoes?"
"Haven't they heard of designers?"
"Nerd alert, nerd alert. Please clear the surrounding area"
"OMG duck, hide, there coming this way"
All three of them carried on walking, tears coming to their eyes. They hurriedly blinked them away, trying not to let the jocks see in the process giving them even more reason to take the piss out of them.
Meanwhile on the other side of the school the same thing was happening to the girls other friend Kelsi Neilson. The jocks hurled insults at her relentlessly. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes. She ducked her head and avoided looking anyone in the eye and carried on her way through the maze of corridors in East High school.
All of the girls suddenly spotted each other and there walking suddenly sped up a bit. They all created each other with a hug and began walking slowly towards their lockers which were next to each other.
(Gabriella's POV)
"So girlies, what have you got on this fine morning" i said giggling
(All of the girls had learnt not to let the comment hurt them or how they viewed themselves.)
"Well gabs, first I have Darbus, then i'm off to the wonderful world of maths" replied Taylor jokingly
"My Sharpettes" Sharpay burst out laughing. I quickly covered her mouth with my hand trying to contain her hysterical laughter. Then she promptly stuck her tongue and began licking my hand.
"Ewwwww, Sharpay, gross totally out of order" I said cracking up
I looked seriously at her for a moment, giving her my best death glare. I swept my eyes around the rest of the group. They all looked seriously back at me. Then in unison we all cracked up laughing. We slid down our lockers laughing as our books slid to the floor. We gradually began to gain control of our emotions. One of us suddenly bursting out into a little fit of giggles as we walked to our class.
As we entered the room a silence came over the room. My checks went bright red, as I made my way quickly up the aisle, not watching my feet but focusing on the wall straight ahead of me. If I had been watching I would have seen Troy Bolton's foot sneaking out in front of me. All of a sudden I landed on the floor, my books scattered everywhere. My face by this time was a bright red tomato colour. I hastily wiped away the tears away from my eyes as I cradled by throbbing wrist against my chest.
"Oh my G--, Gabs are you ok"
"Is your wrist ok"
"Awww, is little baby Gabby's wrist hurting"
(Nobody's POV)
All of a sudden my friends drew in a sharp breath. The tears of pain in Gabriella's eyes had been replaced with hatred.
"Don't ever call me that again" Gabriella shrieked
"What, does baby Gabby, not like it" replied Troy mockingly
All of a sudden her body went limp and her friends rushed over to her side, she sat there, on the floor, her arms hugging her knees. Fresh tears formed in her eyes. Her friends rubbed her back and made soothing noises. Taylor and Kelsi helped her up and they walked out of the room towards the bathroom. Sharpay stayed. She slowly stood up and turned around so she was facing the jocks and the rest of the classroom.
"what the hell is wrong with you people" she yelled all of them looked shocked
"can't you see that name hurts her, she's still suffering from something that is none of your business. Taylor, Kelsi, me, her mum and step-dad have only just persuaded her to go back to the club" everyone by this time was scared shitless.
"If I find anyone of you, has hurt my best friend again, I will personally hunt you down and make your life a living hell"
Chad being the dumbass he was shouted
"Oh yeah, Evans what the hell could you do to us"
She turned around, her gaze was like ice. Everyone gasped.
"Danforth" she whispered
Chad took in a shaky breath
"You don't wanna know" she breathed.
Chad squeaked a response.
"Glad to see that we understand each other then. We wouldn't want to get off on the… wrong foot, now would we" she smirked as Chad gulped and strode out the room in search of her friends.
Everyone was shocked at what Sharpay had said. They knew all the girls had a temper because they frequently defended their friends. That was the only time though. All the other times they just stood there, took the "beating" and walked away sniffling tears.
Sharpay strode along the corridor in search of her friends, she found them. The bathroom.
"hey honey" she whispered softly to Gabriella who was crying on the floor
"you wanna bunk"
Gabriella breathed a shaky "yes"
"well then lets get going" she said " we gotta get you a new outfit for tonight"
All the girls smiled, they could always count on Sharpay to lighten the mood.
