Chapter 2:

I groaned as I shut my alarm clock off because I was not ready to wake up yet. The only bright side about today was that it was Friday. I checked my phone and noticed I had two new messages, one from Troy and one from Taylor. I looked at Troy's first it said, "Hey my love, I can't wait to see you. I'll pick you up early and we will go get some Starbucks. xx Troy" I smiled and replied, "That sounds greaat, I just need to get ready first. I'll text you when I'm ready. Love you. 3 xox G." Afterword, I looked at Taylor's text which said, "I've never been so happy as I am not with Chad. AHHHH!" I laughed and replied, "That is great, Tay. ;p See you later."

I went and got ready for the day and as I was putting my make up on I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered why I of all people had been blessed with this ugly body... It didn't seem fair sometimes... I really want to go to Starbucks with Troy, but I am not sure it is worth becoming fatter than I already am over... I tried to push the negative thoughts out of my mind but they stayed there as I finished getting ready...

I texted Troy once I was ready telling him to come get me. I picked up my bag and walked downstairs to wait. As soon as I saw Troy's truck outside I yelled bye to my mom and walked out the door.

"LOOK WHO IT IS, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD!" is what I heard Troy scream as I walked out of the door.

I am no where near beautiful... I don't know why he thinks I am but oh well. I managed to fake a smile for him and gave him a kiss and with that we were off on our way to Starbucks. We got out coffee and left and drove to school. We walked into school holding hands as usual. When we walked by a group of girls, I heard my name being said. I quickly realized they were gossiping about me...

I heard one them say, "That Gabriella Montez girl is so lucky to be dating Troy Bolton, but I do not see what he sees in her. I mean she is ugly and fat."

The girls friends agreed. This just started to bring me to tears as I started to remember what people had said about me at my old schools. I didn't want Troy to see me crying so I told him I needed to use the bathroom and I ran off and locked myself in a stall and just cried my eyes out as the thoughts of being bullied when I was younger ran through my mind again...

"You are so fat nobody would ever like you."

"You're ugly."

"Nobody likes you Gabriella go kill yourself."

"You can't spell ugly without a G which is what Gabriella starts with."

With that I took out the knife from my pocket and cut... I just let it bleed out like always and then I wiped the blood away and covered up the nearly formed cut on my wrist. I felt a little better now.. I applied my makeup and rushed out of the bathroom so I wouldn't be late to home room.

Troy smiled at me as I walked through the door and I smiled back and quickly took my seat. My mind was racing through out the day as more and more negative thoughts ran through my mind... Sometimes I wondered if the world would just be better off without me like people used to tell me all the time... Maybe it would be... I didn't know how to control what I felt but I did know that I could not wait until I got home to deal with my emotions...

I somehow managed to make it to lunch without breaking down... I wasn't hungry nor did I want to eat either so instead I went to the music room where Troy and I had been so many times. I began to look around when Kelsi appeared.

Kelsi looked and smiled at me and said, "Hey, I didn't expect to see you here."

I looked at her and said, "Well, I just missed this place."

Kelsi smiled and said, "Well, the music room is an amazing place."

I noticed that she had some music in her arms. I was curious so I asked her, "What are you working on Kels?"

She looked down at the music and said, "Oh nothing, it's really nothing."

I took the sheet from her hand and noticed it said "Just The Way You Are" and asked her, "Who's this for?"

She looked down and said, "It was actually a surprise from Troy to you. He wrote the lyrics and I just wrote the music. He was going to sing it for you tonight."

I smiled and realized Troy was the one reason why I haven't tried killing myself. He is the one who keeps me alive. I looked at Kelsi and said, "Well, I for one cannot wait."

She said back, "You're going to love it Gabriella, it really is an amazing song."

I handed it back to her and just then the bell rang. I said goodbye to Kelsi and rushed off to my next class.

Later that day when the last bell had rung just as I was getting my bag ready for the weekend at my locker Troy walked up to me smiling and kissed my cheek.

He looked down at me and said, "Hey, are you free tonight?"

I looked up at him and managed to smile and said, "Yes, of course. Would you like to do something?"

He smiled and said, "Yes I would. I will pick you up at six. Now I have to get to basketball before dad yells at me. I love you so much Gabriella Montez."

I replied to him, "And I love you just as much Troy Bolton. See you tonight."

He gave me a kiss and then rushed off to the boy's locker room. I finished packing my bag and headed out to leave the school. I was lucky to have survived today. I felt so close to breaking down... I'd better get home and quickly... I went and got on my bus and soon I was home. I raced up to my room and went to my desk and pulled out my knife... It was time I thought to myself...

What will happen to Gabriella? What does she plan on doing with the knife? Keep reading to find out.
