Rating: T
Word Count: 291
Summary: sharpay needs some help in calculus, and gabriella just doesn't cut it for her.
Authors Notes: this was randomly slotted into my mind by the writing gods who insisted that it be longer than a customary 100-word drabble. i call it a dragble. (a drabble that DRAGS longer than 100 words).
Sometimes, sitting right next to Gabriella Montez in Calculus is a big pain. Especially since the girl seems to already have the whole math textbook stored inside her brain.
I hate Calculus. Just about as much as I hate the fact that Gabriella is smarter than me.
I used to get pretty decent grades, too.
Until that smart-ass moved in one day and started acting all high and mighty.
Who honestly cared if she thought the second equasion should read 16 over pi?
"Sharpay?"
I certainly didn't care.
"Sharpay?"
Pi can go rot in hell along with trigonometry, geometry, integration, differentiation... the likes.
"Sharpay?"
I will not turn around. For the sake of my sanity, I will not turn around. I will not turn around.
But then I do. Gabriella is smiling at me in that sickeningly sweet way of hers, rattling off how she's graded my quiz and how I've failed miserably.
Stupid Montez.
Does she even realise how dumb she sounds?
And while I carefully pretend that I am listening ever so attentively, I peek just a glance over her shoulder to stare at Troy Bolton for just a moment. His eyes are gorgeous. His hair is so floppy. And his lips are so... so sweet.
"Do you get it?" I find Gabriella staring at me once more, her pencil positioned over her neat, meticulous answers. I return the smile, and with false cheer, proclaim that I understand.
Which is totally why I happen to accidentally bump into Troy during lunch holding my Algebra homework, bemoaning my fate to retain a year because I'm just so darn bad at quadratic equasions.
And when Troy offers to help, I accept graciously.
After all, good help is just so hard to find around here.
REVIEW! Also, consider yourselves BEGGED to leave me a challenge. I have absolutely no ideas for drabbles these days.
