Chapter 2
Troy groaned for the tenth time that day in math class. Mr Thomas was teaching something about x's and y's. He tapped his pencil on the desk and stared at his paper. He groaned in frustration, he just didn't get it! Then, Mrs Grainy, the secretary appeared at the doorway.
"Mr Thomas, can I talk to you for a second?" Mrs Grainy asked while showing a milky vanilla file.
"Of course Mrs Grainy. Everyone, do #4 on page 254 in the algebra book while I'm gone." Mr Thomas said while he walked out of the classroom.
Troy got out another sheet of paper and flipped his algebra textbook open to page 254. He looked down at #4 and stared at it, it had way too many numbers and too much math! Troy groaned again, and slid down in his seat. Then he felt something hit the back of his head. He turned around and found a paper airplane lying on the floor. He picked it up.
Troy,
Why the hell are you still trying to do the problem!?
Teacher's out of the room, let's start a party man!
-Chad
Troy scribbled a response back.
Chad,
I don't know, I feel like it. But I don't get it!
Whatever Chad, you can start a party, I'll just kick in when I'm ready.
-Troy
Troy threw the paper airplane across the room and it hit Chad's nose. He chuckled to himself. He watched Chad unfold the note, then make a spitball and hit a guy who was doing the problem. Troy shook his head and looked around the room.
Everyone was out of their seats chattering, and trashing the place. Textbooks were ripped out of the hands of students who were actually trying to do the work. Spitballs and paper airplanes were flying around the room.
He looked over and saw Taylor McKessie with her head down on the desk. Her shoulders were shaking a little. He felt so guilty for breaking her snow globe, but if he didn't his reputation would be ruined.
Suddenly, the door flung open and Mr Thomas came in with a girl behind him.
"Class settle down." Mr Thomas said and everyone got back into their seats. Everyone turned their attention to Mr Thomas.
"We have a new student, this is Gabriella Montez. She'll be in your math class." Mr Thomas said as he stepped aside.
Troy's eyes widened at the look of this girl. She was wearing a peach blouse with a white skirt. She held her textbooks to her chest. She had long brown, flowy curls. Her skin was perfectly tanned, not too tan, and not so pale either. Every curve on her body was perfect, she looked like a model, but she was short. Then she had these beautiful brown eyes.
Troy heard a whistle coming from the back, he rolled his eyes, probably Chad. Troy looked at this girl. He recognized her as the one he kept bumping into. He couldn't help but feel that something was missing about this girl.
"Please welcome Miss Montez on her first day at East High. Welcome Miss Montez, feel free to have a seat anywhere where there are available seats." Mr Thomas said.
"Thank you." The girl, Gabriella, said. Her voice was perfect, pure and soft. Gabriella walked past Troy, and immediately sat at the back of the room.
"Also, Miss Montez. I've read over your records, and I have to say that you'd fit in very nicely in this class. Your grades are phenomenal. It's only your first day, yet you have the highest GPA at East High." Mr Thomas said very impressed.
Troy snapped his head back to look at her, and Gabriella could feel everyone staring at her in the room. She blushed and muttered a thank you, and looked down playing with her skirt.
Troy couldn't help but think how a nerd, a math geek would be so beautiful?
Suddenly the bell rang, snapping Troy out of his thoughts. He watched the new girl grab her books quickly, and rushed out of the room. He felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Troy, did you see that girl?" Chad asked.
"Yeah Chad, we all saw her. Unless your like blind or something." Troy replied.
"She's was hot man! But I can't believe she's a nerd. Lame." Chad said with a whatever tone in his voice.
"Yeah." Troy said, not knowing what to say. He didn't really like judging people.
"If she wasn't a nerd, I'd bang her anyday." Chad said.
"Chad.." Troy groaned.
"It's fun, I don't see why you don't do it." Chad said.
"Chad! You don't go out with girls for fun! I don't understand why you have a girlfriend, yet check out every single girl in the school! You made out with half the cheerleaders on the team, and use them for fun! It disgusts me!" Troy snapped angrily.
"Whoa chillax man. I don't want to waste my time waiting for the right girl, she doesn't even exists. So why waste your time, and have fun?" Chad said and gave Troy a pat on the back.
"Yeah, whatever." Troy said and walked to his locker, ignoring Chad.
"Whoa there, what violent behavior Troy Bolton!" A voice behind him said.
Troy smiled at the voice and spun around. "Sorry Marissa, I'm kinda pissed."
"Aw, why?" Marissa asked with a hand on her hip.
"Chad said something to piss me off, that's all." Troy replied.
"Like?" Marissa asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He kinda insulted the new girl." Troy said.
"New girl?" Marissa asked curiously.
"Yeah, we got a new girl in our math class." Troy said while scratching the back of his neck.
"What does she look like?" Marissa asked.
"Well, she has long curly brown hair, brown eyes, perfectly tanned skin, she looks like a model." Troy said.
"Damn, she sounds fine. Why would Chad, of all people insult a girl who's that fine?" Marissa asked confused.
"Get this Marissa, she isn't a cheerleader, she's a math geek." Troy said while using air quotes on 'math geek'.
"Beautiful and a geek? Wow. Now that's something you don't see everyday." Marissa said while shaking her head.
Troy nodded in agreement.
"But how is that related to you?" Marissa asked.
"I just hate how he automatically puts people into groups. You don't know anything about them. It's kinda getting annoying." Troy said.
"Whoa hold on. Troy Bolton defending a geek? This is new." Marissa said.
"Quiet Marissa, I'm not defending her.. I just, I don't know." Troy said.
"You like her." Marissa replied quickly.
"What? No I don't! I've only known her for like three minutes!" Troy said in denial.
"But you're attracted to her." Marissa said smirking.
"Maybe." Troy replied avoiding eye contact.
"Hm! My cousin likes a geek!" Marissa said jokingly.
"But Marissa, I can't help but feel that there's something missing about her. I don't know what, but something is definitely not right." Troy said.
"And?" Marissa asked confused.
"And I'm determined to figure it out."
