Chapter 2- We Meet Again and Falls In Love
Two weeks later Troy went back to school after the New Year's Even celebration. He was excited as he came out of his shotgun. It's his Sophomore Year and he couldn't wait for the Championship game in two weeks time. His friends greeted him as usual "Yo! Hoops. What's up!" and he said "Hey Chad, guys. Happy New Year!" they all cheered "Happy New Year Troy." a cheerleader smiled widely nearby. They all went inside and headed towards their lockers.
Gabriella was in Principle Matsui's office. "Now Gabriella, here is your map of the school and welcome to East High." and shook her hand. "Thank you sir" and walked out of the office. She used the map and followed the direction of the map and decided to go to her locker. Locker number 158. She used the instruction and dialled the locker and it sprung open after the final twist and she put in her books inside. She closed the locker and decided to go to her first class with a Ms Darbus room 101.
She was looking at her map without looking her way when she bumped into someone "Oh sorry" she said and looked up to see a familiar blue eyed boy. "Troy?" Troy looked at Gabriella and said "Gabriella?" and they both said together "What are you doing here?" and Gabriella blushed "I just moved here from California. What about you? I didn't know you live here"
Troy nodded and giving her a cheeky smile "Yeah, been living here my whole life. It's good to see you again Gabriella" and Gabriella blushed "So, heading for class? Can I see your schedule?" He ask politely and she gave the piece of paper to him. "Cool you got the same schedule as I am. Come on lets go. Don't wanna be late for your first day in school." and took her hand. When he touched they both felt a spark but just ignored it and together they both went to homeroom.
When they've arrived Gabriella looked around the class. An African American guy with a crazy hairstyle was spinning his basketball on his finger. She saw a blond girl applying on some make-up on her face while a blond guy with a hat was staring blankly at the ceiling. She gave the teacher her pass. "Ms Montez please take a seat" the teacher said and she looked at Troy and he nodded with a grin and went to the back and took a seat behind an African American girl.
The girl introduced herself "Hi, I'm Taylor. You're new here right?" the girl ask her excitedly. "Yeah. I'm Gabriella. Nice to meet you Taylor" she replied as the bell rung and the teacher started making the morning announcements. "Now class we have a new student here. Ms Montez would you stand up please and formally introduce yourself" and Gabriella quickly stood up. Every eyes were on her and suddenly she felt nervous but she wasn't nervous when she saw Troy's bright blue eyes with assuring look she introduced herself.
After a short introduction the teacher had ask for attendance. "Troy Bolton" and his hand shot up quickly like a lightning bolt. "Chad Danforth" and the crazy hair guy with the basketball hand shot out too. "Sharpay Evans" and the blond girl manicured hand shot out. "Ryan Evans" and the blond guy with the hat shot out his hand. "Taylor McKessie" and Taylor's hand shot out. "Kelsi Nielson" and a petite girl wearing specks hand shot out too.
After a while, the bell rang and it was first period. Troy waited for Gabriella outside the homeroom. Together they walked through the hallways not paying attention at the people who was staring at them as they passed through their lockers. They went in their class and every eye were on them as they sat together. One of them is a pair of twins who looked at them with jealousy in their eyes.
Finally it was Lunch time. Troy decided to show her his secret hiding place. He whispered "Gabriella, I wanna show you something. You must promise me to keep it to yourself OK and never tell anyone about it. Now close your eyes and come with me" Gabriella silently closed her eyes and nodded as Troy held her hand and brought her up the stairs towards the rooftop garden.
Troy sat her down on the bench and said "Ok, now you can open your eyes" and Gabriella opened her eyes and gasped "OMG! Troy this place is beautiful" and Troy who wouldn't stop staring at her said "Yes you are" and Gabriella looked at her confused "What did you say?" and Troy who just realized what he just said "Uh….nothing. I said yes. It is beautiful here" Gabriella just said "How did you do all these. Its beautiful here and with all the flowers. Oh my, look a rose and a daisy, and marigold. Oh and u even have my favourite flower, jasmine." (AN: personal favourite flower of all time) Troy grinned at Gabriella identified every single flower there. He took out a rose from behind the bench that he had cut earlier and gave it to Gabriella who accepted it by kissing his cheek "Thank you Troy" and he blushed. It was a sweet moment for the both of them. Troy felt it as time to ask her "Gabriella" he took her hand and she smiled at him and wondering what he was going to say "Yes Troy?" she ask him "Will you be my girlfriend?" and then in a flash Gabriella with happy tears in her eyes and said "Of course and I'd love to" and kissed him. That day they both felt happy to meet once again. They were really thankful for that.
