Heartbroken
Chapter 2
"Well Gabriella it seems as though everyone was pretty pleased with the SRC decisions and stuff" Taylor said as the gang all walked out of assembly together.
"Thanks" Gabriella replied with a smile.
"I'm proud of you" Troy said wrapping an arm around Gabriella and squeezing her to him.
"Hi Gabriella!" a friendly voice said from behind the group. They all turned around to be greeted with Eloise Davis. "I'm Eloise"
"Hey Eloise" Gabriella replied.
"I was just wondering if it was possible for me to join the SRC?" she asked. Gabriella subtly looked over at Taylor and Sharpay who were both grinning.
"Um, I'm sorry Eloise but the SRC is full" Gabriella said as friendly as possible.
"But I've taken all these notes and jotted down all these ideas and worked so hard on all of it!" she said shoving papers and folders into Gabriella's hands.
"Oh, wow! Okay. If there are any positions free I will definitely let you know alright?" Gabriella replied.
"Alrighty then" Eloise said, sounding like a 10 year old, when actually she was a couple of months older than Gabriella.
"Well that was different" Sharpay said when Eloise walked away.
"She knows that the whole SRC is full. The whole senior year knows, I'm pretty sure the whole school knows!" Gabriella added. "And no one plans on leaving soon so I don't think she will be getting a spot" Gabriella said sadly, she hated rejecting people.
"Don't let it get to you Gabi. There is nothing you can do, she should know that" Troy said trying to make her feel better.
"I guess you're right" Gabriella replied. "Guys we're gonna be late!" Gabriella said quickly looking at her watch.
"Shit, you're right!" Taylor said as she ran off, with everyone following. Taylor, Troy, Sharpay and Gabriella all had Math together and since Gabriella's locker was furthest away, she would have bound to be the last one in the class.
"Gabi I'll wait for you" Troy said.
"No, no it's fine I don't want you to be late. Go!" she replied, laughing. Gabriella had serious trouble trying to find her math book, but finally, she found it. It was buried under her bio and English books and folders. She ran as fast as she could to math, but unfortunately, just as she expected, she was the last one there and 16 minutes late. "I'm so sorry I'm late Mr. Ha-"
"Not a problem Gabriella. Just 10 minutes in this hat and you will never be late again" Mr. Hampton, the math teacher replied. He pulled out a heavy, oversized novelty cowboy hat and placed it on her head. Gabriella burst out laughing as he plonked it on her. She turned around to the class who had serious difficulties trying to hold in their giggles.
"You can laugh people" Gabriella said and the class broke out in fits of laughter. Gabriella looked over at Troy who looked at her sympathetically, but was laughing at the same time. Gabriella just held up her forefinger and pinky, making a punk sign.
During Math class, every time Gabriella was asked a question, she answered correctly. She was without a doubt the smartest girl in the class. She never got below 90% for her exams and never got in trouble – except for today of course.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, I think you can go now" Mr. Hampton said when the bell went off, "and don't forget, you're assignment is due next Wednesday!" he said yelling amongst the commotion.
"What you have now Gabi?" Troy asked as they were walking down the corridor together.
"Free period" she replied.
"Well then" Troy said, quickly stepping in front of her, wrapping his hands around her waist. "Would you like some free time with Troy?" he said sneakily.
"I have to finish this assignment. But you can walk with me to my locker!" She said sweetly which made Troy laugh. He almost buckled at the knees because of Gabriella's sweetness – it always made him melt.
"Well alright then" he said. The hallways cleared out, and it was just the sound of Troy and Gabriella's feet walking along the corridors. Once again, Troy stepped in front of Gabriella, stopping her in her tracks. "You're locker is too far away" he said.
"Troy, it's just around that corner" she replied.
"Precisely. Way too far away" he said, as he began to slowly back her against the locker. Gabriella smiled and dropped her books, wrapping her arms around his neck as she felt herself being pushed up against the locker.
"MmmTrrohhyyyy…" Gabriella said against his lips trying to move away, "we can't" she said, pulling her head away only to feel Troy's lips gently kiss down her neck. But Troy only shut her up by kissing her over and over again.
Meanwhile, a familiar face was watching them from down the corridor. Eloise. She stormed down the hallway and pushed them right away, "excuse me I have to get to my locker" she said sternly, almost knocking Gabriella and Troy to the ground. "Oh my god! Gabriella, I had no idea it was you! I'm sorry Troy! Sorry guys!" she said sweetly, in the most fake way possible.
"Uh, no problem Eloise" Troy said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's okay" Gabriella said, picking up her books off the floor.
"You can call me El, or Elly or Ella if you want" she said facing the two.
"Um, okay. See ya" Troy said as the two made a quick exit. "That wasn't bizarre at all"
"Strange girl. Okay Troy, I need to finish off this assignment" Gabriella said.
"Alright I'm gonna go do some free throws with Chad" Troy said giving Gabriella a quick peck on the lips.
"Okay, have fun!" Gabriella replied as they went their separate ways.
"So have you thought about the SRC Gabi?" Eloise said as soon as Gabriella stepped in the senior year common room, scaring the living daylights out of her.
"Well, nothing has changed since this morning Eloise. And it's Gabriella" she replied.
"But you're boyfriend calls you that, and all your friends do"
"Well, I've known them a lot longer than I've known you. I don't really know you at all Eloise. I'll keep thinking about the SRC, right now I just have an assignment to do" Gabriella said smiling. Gabriella was shocked when Eloise didn't move from the doorway, so she had to squeeze past her. She is sooo weird Gabriella thought to herself.

70 MINUTES LATER
It was the end of free period for Gabriella so she decided to call Troy to see what he was up to because it was recess now and all her other friends had an excursion for a subject which Gabriella didn't do. The phone kept ringing and ringing, and ringing. But there was no answer.
Okay guys, I need your opinion! I'm definitely not making all the chapters this short – TRUST ME!! But do you guys mind if the chapters are a bit shorter before all the drama begins? And do you all care if the next chapter is where all the drama and complications starts? If you want me to continue on with all the happiness I can just say Troy was still on court which was why he didn't answer his phone.
Anyway! Let me know!!!!!
