Previously in 'Looks Are Deceiving'…
"Hey Tara!" Gabriella said as she ran up the stairs grinning like an idiot.
"Hi sis!" she called back to her. Gabriella had the best night of her life. Well, the best day of her life. She fell asleep a few hours later extremely excited for what her new life would bring her.
Looks Are Deceiving
Chapter 2- Girlfriend
Gabriella Montez walked through the front doors of East High for her second day. She was walking to her locker when she ran into someone.
The next thing she knew, she was on the ground, but found a friendly hand reaching down to help her.
"Thanks." She muttered standing up and looking at her shoes.
"Uh….I'm Andrew." The young man said holding his hand out for her.
"Gabriella….Gabriella Montez." She introduced herself as she shook his hand.
"Ah….you're Gabriella…I'm a good friend of Troy's." he said. Gabriella nodded.
"Well, it was very nice to meet you Andrew…but I should be getting to homeroom." She said.
"Of course, I'll see you later Gabriella." He answered.
She walked to her locker and opened it up. She was about to pick the textbook that was sitting on the shelf when someone picked her up and twirled her around in a circle.
She tensed up for a split second…but quickly relaxed when she figured out who it was.
"Put me down or I'm gonna be late for homeroom!" she exclaimed. The strong arms gently set her down and she turned back to her locker.
"Okay…Okay…I see how it is. Don't greet your incredibly hot boyfriend in the morning." Troy said as he began to walk away.
3….2….1…. he thought for sure that she would come running after him. When she didn't he thought, Dang! She really is different than other girls!
"I've gotta say…you're definitely different than all the other girls around here." Troy said as they began their walk to homeroom.
"Different good? Or different bad?" she asked him.
"Definitely different good." He said.
Gabriella and Troy were walking down the hallway occasionally waving to friends; Troy was doing most of that since it was only Gabriella's first day.
Gabriella couldn't help but giggle and blush when she heard some cheerleaders say how cute they looked together, Troy and Gabriella.
They turned the corner and Gabriella's eyes met with another pair of bluish gray eyes. The two teens kept eye contact until Gabriella broke the gaze suddenly feeling uneasy about the stranger.
She was snapped out of her trance by a light squeeze of her hand from Troy as if asking her 'Are you okay?' She squeezed back and smiled signaling to him that she was fine. Troy thought nothing more of it.
They walked into homeroom and sat down with the gang. The 'gang' consisted of Chad, Taylor, Kelsi (She ahs known Troy for about as long as Chad has known him and was like his sister.), the basketball team (Well, the team members who were in their homeroom.), and Andrew.
Gabriella was deep into a conversation with Taylor and Kelsi when she decided to ask about that mysterious boy she had locked eyes with earlier. He had just entered and sat down with Sharpay and Ryan across the room.
"What do you know about that guy over there?" Gabriella asked randomly to them. She pointed slightly in his directing. She watched as their faced turned from happy and hyper…to sympathetic and anger.
"Oh. Him." Kelsi spat.
"He's one of the richest, snobbiest, and the most arrogant jackass that goes to this school." Taylor said.
"He has tried to do horrible and sick things to me before. I don't want to know what would've happened if Troy hadn't have overheard some people talking." Kelsi said.
"Oh…wow." Gabriella said. That's all she could get out. She was still trying to absorb the things she just heard.
"He didn't do anything to you…did he?" Taylor asked worriedly.
"No No No No No. He didn't. It's just. I caught his eyes this morning. I was just walking and I felt someone looking at me." She explained.
Kelsi and Taylor both let out a sigh of relief. "Well, even though you are pretty much untouchable. Keep and eye out. Because he has been known to go 'beyond the boundaries'." Kelsi explained. Taylor nodded in agreement.
Before another word could be said…Mrs. Darbus walked into the room and started the morning announcements.
Gabriella's mind was on other things while Mrs. Darbus was talking. She started to have second thoughts about being Troy's girlfriend. After all, she had just met him yesterday. But it felt so right. It was a feeling she couldn't explain. And after what ahs already happened this morning about her 'being untouchable', she started thinking about how hard it would be to be the most popular guy's girlfriend. Ooh, how she loved that word. Girlfriend.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!
Onto first period.
She and Troy walked out with the gang, well, that was before Gabriella pulled him aside.
"Hey, you alright?" he asked her.
"Yeah, um, I just needed to let you know that I'm not ready to go full force into this relationship. I mean, we just met yesterday. Not that I'm regretting my decision at all. I'm feeling a feeling that I've never felt before about us. It's just….I want to take it slow." She said looking down. Troy smiled and gently pulled her chin up.
"We can go as slow or as fast as you want." He said.
She couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you." She said.
"Anything for my Brie." He answered.
The warning bell sounded.
"Ooh. Gotta go! See you at lunch Troy!" she called behind her as she ran off to her fist class of the day.
He chuckled as he turned around and walked to his next class with some of his mates.
What did Troy mean when he said that he would go 'as slow or fast as she wanted'? He's never like that. Never. He always wanted to go full force right away. Oh. I hate that Gabriella girl. She's gonna regret she ever came to East High. She's gonna regret it! Thought a very angry blonde.
Be brutally honest...what do you think?! Please! R&R!!!
