A Different Life

3 DAYS LATER
It was the first day of school after winter break. Gabriella and Troy talked multiple times everyday since she had left. Troy had gotten home at 9 the previous night so his parents didn't let him go see her, for he would see her the next day. As Troy walked through the front yard of the school many people greeted him and he smiled back, and gave polite 'Heys' or 'whats up'. He finally reached his friends who were sitting by the fountain as usual.
"Hey Troy!" they all exclaimed.
"Hey guys," he replied. "What's up?"
"Nothing," a few of them replied.
"How was your break man?" Chad asked.
"Great, what about you guys," he asked back. They all replied with positive answers. As they began talking about their winter break, Troy looked around for his girlfriend. He had told her to meet him by the fountain yet she was not there yet.
"Troy! Troy!" Taylor exclaimed.
"Huh? What?" he said snapping out of his thoughts and they all laughed.
"Troy!" he heard a girl exclaim and he turned around to see his girlfriend running towards him. The whole gang looked at the scene confused. A random girl was running towards Troy and he had the biggest smile on his face. She finally reached him, and dropped her bag. He picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He immediately pulled her into a passionate kiss. Everybody's jaws dropped. Not only the crew but everybody who could see what was going on. They were all wondering the same thing: who is this girl and why is she making out with Troy? They finally pulled away and placed their foreheads against each other's.
"Hey," he smiled.
"Hey," she smiled back. "I missed you."
"I missed you more," he smiled and she giggled.
"Ahem," Sharpay cleared her throat. Gabriella looked up and Troy turned his head to see all of his friends staring at them. Everybody else was now whispering trying to figure out what was going on. Troy turned around, not putting Gabriella down, now just holding her on the left side of his hip.
"Can someone please tell me what is going on here?" Chad asked.
"Guys this is my girlfriend Gabriella, Gabi this is Chad, his girlfriend Taylor, Zeke, his girlfriend Sharpay, Sharpay's brother Ryan, and Jason, and his girlfriend Kelsi," Troy introduced.
"Nice to meet you guys," she smiled. "I have heard so much about you." They all smiled.
"It is nice to meet you too," Taylor replied.
"Hey babe," Gabriella said to Troy, "wanna put me down now?" Everybody laughed a
little.
"Sure," he replied and put her down, but keeping his arm around her waist.
"I am still really confused," Chad said.
"Me and Gabriella met on vacation, coincidentally she was moving here from San Diego," Troy replied.
"So how long have you been dating," Taylor asked.
"Since Thursday," Troy replied.
"Your first day here hasn't even started yet and you are already dating the big man on campus, that is quite an accomplishment," Sharpay said.
"Sharpay!" he exclaimed embarrassed.
"Big man on campus, huh?" Gabriella asked looking at him and he blushed.
"Basketball, is kind of a big deal around here," he replied trying to be modest.
"Kinda?" Taylor asked raising her eyebrows.
"Shut up," he replied.
"So I am guessing I will not be the cheerleaders' favorite person in the entire world," Gabriella asked.
"Definitely not," Kelsi replied.
"Sorry babe," Troy said.
"I think I can handle not being friends with girls who only care about their nails," Gabriella said and they laughed.
"So Gabriella are you excited?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, a little nervous though," she replied.
"It's okay between Troy and all of us you will be fine," Taylor said.
"Thanks," she smiled. Just then the bell rang.
"Ugh," they all groaned and Gabriella laughed.
"Time for homeroom," Chad said annoyed.
"Who do you have for homeroom," Taylor asked. Gabriella looked at a sheet of paper.
"Umm…Ms. Darbus," she replied.
"Great! We are in her homeroom too," Troy said putting his arm around her.
"Well seems today wont be so bad after all," she smiled.
"No, it definitely won't," Troy said as they walked through the doors. As the group
walked down the halls people parted like the red sea to let them through. Gabriella looked at all of them confused.
"You will get used to it," Sharpay said.
"Might take a while," she replied.
"I know what you mean," Taylor said. "I was freaky math girl until me and Chad started dating."
"Oh my god really! Are you on the scholastic decathlon team?"
"Yeah! I am the president!"
"Please don't get her started," Chad groaned and Taylor hit him.
"I was on it at my old school," Gabriella said.
"You should totally join!"
"I will!"
"The two most popular guys in school dating nerds. What has this world come to?"
Sharpay asked and they all laughed. Troy bent down and kissed Gabriella.
"You know it," he smiled and she giggled.
"Oh be quiet drama geek," Taylor replied and they laughed again.
"Pretty much they all started dating us and became popular," Chad said.
"Without being too cocky," Troy said and they laughed.
"Don't worry, we aren't like the popular kids who stomp on everyone else," Kelsi said.
"Good," Gabriella smiled. They continued to walk down the hallway, receiving many looks. From then on Gabriella knew that life in Albuquerque was going to be MUCH different than San Diego.
Please please review! They have all been great so far!
