Gabriella followed the person around the corner till they got into an empty did not know what to say but decided to see what they had to say.

"What do you want,Troy? Havent you done enough already?" She glared at him.

"I came to say I am sorry"He retorted back glaring back at her with his ocean-blue eyes. She was lost for words for a moment as she looked into his eyes and saw how they changed to a dark blue in an instant. She blinked before answering him back.

"Well, that is a change. I thought you were coming to have another go at me" She spoke angrily.

"Look nerd!I am of a higher standard then you. You do not have any right to speak to me like that so forget it now and do not dare to even glare at me you got that?"He shouted at her. He grabbed her roughly by the shoulders and pinned her againist the winced as his hands seem to be digging into the top of her dropped her onto the floor before walking away and leaving her slumped againist the lockers. Gabriella looked around before drawing her knees into her chest and beginning to cry into her hands.

What have I done wrong to get it twice in two days? She thought to herself as she sat down in corridor.

The next lesson could not come quick enough for gabriella as she made her way over to her advanced maths with made her way to her seat at the back of the class where she sat with one person who did like her. She was only glad that a jerk like troy was not in her class, he was not clever enough for the class for one. She giggled to herself.

"What are you laughing at?"taylor asked quietly.

"Oh nothing" She replied back to her.

"So what did troy want?"Taylor questioned.

"Nothing good"She answered back to her

"Oh I am sorry" Taylor apologised to her.

"Its not your fault"She smiled to her "Just had another go at me"

Taylor smiled back to her and turned back to the maths lesson that was is progress. But Gabriella could not concentrate as she kept replaying the incident with troy in her head. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she did not notice when mrs baker, her maths teacher, asked her a question.

"Miss montez? MISS MONTEZ!"she barked at jumped in her seat to see everyone staring at her.

"Erm what?"She mumbled

"Answer the question!"The teacher shouted back.

"I don't know!" Gabriella replied embrassed.

"DENTENTION,MISS MONTEZ!" the teacher replied was beginning to get worried about her friend as she usually paid attention in class. But she decided to leave it for now as it probabley was nothing.

When the bell rang, Gabriella grabbed her belongings and literary ran out maths class.

She drove home in her car,unlocked the did her homework and then cried herself to sleep that night.

Her back had bruises the next morning and it hurt her even worse then dressed carefully,covering her bruises before going to school.

Taylor waited for her at the entrance of school wondering about what had actually happened yesterday between troy and gabriella that made her get a was pulled out of her thoughts when sshe saw gabriella climbing out of her car and locking walked up to her before grabbing in a hug. However,she pulled back when she heard her then noticed her friends puffy red eyes, bruises on her arms were showing as well. She sighed before turning back to her friend.

Gabriella was a wreck all day and could not concentrate at all since she was so tired herself. She also did not spend dinner in the cafteria but instead wondered around on her it was not long before she ran into someone.

"Oh hello nerd!" Called a nasal-quality voice behind her. She turned around to see sharpay stood near her.

"What do you want?"Gabriella answered

"What was you doing with troy-boy yesterday?"She snarled at her

"NOTHING so just leave me alone,okay?"Gabriella answered back annoyed at her and obviousley did not want to put up with sharpay today.

"Listen,do NOT talk to me ever and you stay away from troy." Sharpay threatened her "OR ELSE"

Gabriella turned to leave but sharpay stuck her foot out and tripped her up making her fall on the was laughed at by everyone as she got back up and ran did not stop till she was far away in an empty looked around before she noticed a piano in one of the looked around to see if anyone was about. She then went over to the seat,sat down and began to play her favorite song.

You say it's all in my head
And the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then? Don't go all coy
Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

These days when I see you
You make it look like see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too

When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Time and time again, I play the role of fool
(Just for you)
Even in the daylight when you think I don't see you
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
'Though I do know how you play

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

She sang it with such passion and emotion that she begun to cry as she carried on singing.

Troy had been walking down the corridor when he heard a beautiful voice singing in the music queitly crept into the room to see none other then Gabriella montez singing at the piano. He was stunned at the sight.

Could the nerd really sing? he kept saying to himself in his head.

Gabriella turned to see troy standing in the doorway with a shocked expression on his quickly ran out the room before he could say anything.
