Gabriella walked through the hallways of East High. she sighed putting in her combination in her locker sliding it open then her wrist was caught in the middle of the locker and she yelped in pain. Baxter smirked, "hey bitch, we weren't done.." she looked at him, she whimpered "please..just leave me alone..." she felt her wrist throbbing "please, your hurting me.." tears were already rollling down her cheeks. Baxter smirked and took a hold on her throat and banged her head off the locker. she cried biting her bottom lip, "please.." she whimpered. "Yo Baxter!" called a voice, the bulky football player looked over to see the Basketball team standing with their arms crossed, the captain, Troy Bolton standing in the middle. His face set in a glare, "leave the lady alone." Baxter smirked, "and what are you gonna do about it Bolton? Bounce your ball on my head?" Troy smirked, "and kill off what braincells you have left? Why, Baxter, I'd never be that cruel..." Baxter growled, Gabriella whimpered and backed against the lockers; Chase went over and grabbed her shoulders, taking her to the protection of the basketball team.
Baxter stood there smirking, "Fine, I'll leave her alone.." he turned around then stopped, "after this." he turned back around to punch Troy but Troy dodged it and sent a punch sending him to the floor. Baxer looked up at him, "Now, leave her alone... and don't come near her again, or I'll give you something much worst.." Baxter nodded and got up and ran. Troy sighed looking at the basketball team, "alright guys.. it's over.." The basketball Team went back into the gym, Troy came over to Gabriella and Chase, "Brie, is your wrist ok?" he looked down at it, it was bruised black and blue. she held onto it, tears falling, "It hurts so bad.." she cried. He looked over at Chase, "we should take her to the nurse," her cousin nodded, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Troy held her wrist gently,they guided her to the nurses office. "ow...ow...ow..." Gabriella moaned, "I hate Baxter." Troy chuckled, "yeah so does the whole school," They helped her to the nurse and the nurse looked up, "what's seems to be the problem?" she asked getting up. "her wrist is bruised really bad, It might be broken.." The nurse sighed and said, "follow me, we can check it out.." Gabriella sighed and sat on the bed.
Chase and Troy watched the nurse as she examined it, "does that hurt?" she pressed down on it, "ow.." Gabriella cried. "yeah it's broken, your gonna have to wear a cast for about 3 weeks.." Gabriella sighed, "How did you break it?" Gabriella sighed, she could tell the truth, but what if Baxter comes after her for it, she looked at Troy and Chase then back at the nurse, "I umm... I was mad and hit my locker really hard?" she said more like a quesiton. Troy sighed, of course she'd lie, most of Baxter's victims did. He was a raging psychopathic jack ass lunatic, he looked at Chase from the corner of his eyes, he was pinching his nose. Figures, Chase isn't one for lying. Well, neither was Troy, "Mrs. Wilson, it was Baxter...again." she sighed, "thanks Mr. Bolton...and you Miss Montez, are lucky to have two guardian angels at this school." Troy smirked, and chuckled a bit, "yeah real angel, I have horns that hold up my halo." Gabriella looked at him, and giggled. He just quoted her.
They put the cast on her and Troy and Chase walked with her down the hallway. all three of them had free period, so it was great. Chase looked at Troy and Gabriella. "Hey, I'm gonna go call my mom and dad, and tell them what happened." Troy nodded, Chase left. Gabriella turned to Troy holding her cast. "does it hurt anymore?" Gabriella shrugged, "It does a little bit, but I think if I take some tylenol it will help.." Troy nodded and leaned against her on the wall, "I'm glad that your ok.." she smiled at him softly. "me too, I'm glad your ok.." Troy chuckled, "He can't beat me, his a whimp." Gabriella giggled, Troy smiled at this. they looked into each other's eyes. "Troy..I would like that kiss right now.." she smiled. Troy smiled, bringing his hand up to cup her chin sweetly, touching his lips to hers chastely and pressing his lips to hers a little harder. His other hand went around her waist, but he didn't go further in the kiss, she was a nice girl, and he wanted to be patient with her. Gabriella wasn't a random fuck that he'd pick up at a random moment...she was different.
Gabriella wrapped an arm around his neck, of course cause the other one was broken. the kiss was so good, and so sweet. and sent sparks and shivers down her spine, she hoped he felt the same about the kiss, but she maybe wrong. she played with the sides of his hair and he smiled between the kiss pecking her lips on last time. "Brie, I'm gonna fight for you..." Gabriella nodded, "I know...I want you to prove to me that your done with everything" he sighed, "Brie, your sending sparks up my body, and shivers up and down my spine..I never felt like that before.." he held her hands. Gabriella smiled, "I feel the same exact way." he leaned his forhead on hers, Gabriella sighed, "but I need to take things slow, I won't be sleeping with you anytime soon, so you better be sure you want this." Troy leaned his forehead against hers, eskimo kissing her nose, "I'll show you...but first, I want to show you something." she smiled, "what?" Troy smirked, "it's a surprise...I'll show you after school; I have a feeling your cousin Chase is right behind me isn't he?" a throat cleared, "what gave you your first clue Bolton?" Troy backed away slowly, turning to face his best friend. "Hey man, what's up?" Chase scowled, going into protector mode, "uhm let's see, the sky, the clouds, the sun the moon...you sucking my cousin's face off?" Gabriella bit her bottom lip, "Chase, don't be mad.." chase sighed, "I'm not mad..I'm just worried.." Troy sighed, "I know man, your scared I'm gonna hurt her, but I'm not, I know I promised in the beginning, I wouldn't fall for her, but now, I'm crazy about her... and I really want to have her in my life.." he held her hand and kissed it gently. Chase sighed, "fine, but if I find out you hurt her, friendship is over." Troy nodded, "I understand."
...
After School Gabriella went to her locker and a note fell out, she picked it up and began reading it, go to the door, down the hall from your locker, and open the large two doors. -Troy she smiled and closed her locker and went to were he told her. she ran up the steps and looked around amazed, "wow, what is this place?" he smiled, "it's the rooftop garden, on top of the school.." he pulled her close to him. she giggled, "so it's on the top of the school?" Troy nodded, she smiled and pecked his lips, and she looked into his eyes, "why are you showing me this?" she asked. He shrugged, "just in case you need a place to think...my basketball 'posse' doesn't know about it, only me and now you...I always come up here to think." Gabriella smiled, leaning on the railing, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the sun that was surprisingly low in the sky.
"I think it's beautiful..." she looked at Troy, "thank you." he smiled, grabbing her hand, and kissing it softly. "Beautiful garden...beautiful girl...just like a Jane Austen novel." she giggled, "I didn't know you read Jane Austen." Troy sighed, "I'm...not as dumb as people think jocks are." Gabriella smiled, her eyes looking downcast, Troy must have noticed, "what's wrong?" she looked up at him, "oh uhm nothing just...hungry." Troy smiled, "well beautiful, I got you something.." he kissed her forhead and went into his backpack, and gave her a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich a bottle of milk, and a blueberry muffin. "aww you didn't have to buy me lunch." he smiled 'I wanted too.." she giggled and sat down on the bench and took off the lid of the bottle and deeped the straw in there taking a sip, "you really want to be with me this bad?" He sucked in a breath, "you have no idea," he walked to the bench and sat on it with his legs straddling it like he was riding a horse. He just watched her eat and drink, her full lips moving as she chewed slowly, she smiled, "this has to be the best PB&J sandwiche I've ever tasted." Troy smiled, blushing, "Yeah i guess their awesome..." she smiled, "it tastes really sweet...what's in here?" Troy smiled, "M&M's...but don't tell anyone, it's my secret ingredient." She giggled, and swallowed her bite, "well it's delicious."
Troy smiled and leaned over cupping her cheeks kissing her on the lips. Gabriella finished her lunch, "Thanks." he smiled, "no problem.." she giggled, "how long can we stay up here?" she asked, "only for a little bit more." she nodded leaning her head on his shoulder. Troy sighed wrapping his arms around her, "People keep whispering about me..and you.." Troy looked at her, "what do they say?" she sighed, "that I'm your next sex toy...and guys ask me if after you have a turn with me, if that can have me.." she leaned her head on his shoulder again, "It's awful."she whispered. He never paid attention to what people thought, he never really thought his reputation meant anything to anyone because it never mattered to him. He sighed, "I'm sorry...but, it was just how I acted...in the past..." she looked at him, "I've had people talk about me Troy, but...this? Not ever." Now he felt shitty.
Troy sighed, and held her hand, "Brie, I am so sorry..." she sighed and looked down, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Oh baby please, don't cry..please don't cry..I hate it when you cry especially when I cause it.." she buried her face into his chest, "I'm scared of getting hurt again.." she cried. Troy sighed, petting her hair, "shh! brie, it's ok..were going to be ok...were gonna work this out, I promise, I am done sleeping around, after me and you do it for the first time, I'm gonna make it so special for you cause you deserve it..." she smiled, "how?" "A soft bed, rose petals all over the floor, candles lit up everywhere, and romantic music playing as I make sweet love to you.." he pecked her lips, she smiled, "I can't wait.." Troy smiled, pecking her lips gently, grabbing her hands. "We better go...Chase is going to get riled." she giggled, standing up and pulling Troy with her, "we should get going yeah..." her voice was barely there, her eyes concentrated on his lips, he smiled. "what?" she laughed, "just...your love is becoming my drug-like that Kesha song..." Troy chuckled, picking her up by the waist and spinning her around, she giggled.
Gabriella giggled, "put me down.." Troy pecked her lips letting her down but still holding her close, they looked into each other's eyes. "we better go.." Troy nodded pecking her lips and leading her down the stairs. they got into his car and began driving back to her house. Gabriella looked outside her window, a smile on her face as troy held her hand, she turned to him, "Troy, before we you know, have sex.." Troy looked at her, but beack at the road, he cleared his throat, "y-yeah.." she sighed, "Could you possibly go to the doctor and get checked for HIV or any sexual transmitted diseases..I wanna be sure.." Gabriella giggled, "put me down.." Troy pecked her lips letting her down but still holding her close, they looked into each other's eyes. "we better go.." Troy nodded pecking her lips and leading her down the stairs.
they got into his car and began driving back to her house. Gabriella looked outside her window, a smile on her face as troy held her hand, she turned to him, "Troy, before we you know, have sex.." Troy looked at her, but beack at the road, he cleared his throat, "y-yeah.." she sighed, "Could you possibly go to the doctor and get checked for HIV or any sexual transmitted diseases..I wanna be sure.." He smiled, "Brie, this may make you happy, but I get myself checked every saturday...trust me. I'm clean." She smiled, and nodded, looking out the window. Troy chuckled and turned on the radio, knowing full well that he left the soundtrack to RENT in the CD tray and it wasn't long before the sound of 'The Tango Maureen' was playing through his speakers. Gabriella smiled, "You like RENT?" he smiled, "who doesn't?" Gabriella giggled and they pulled into her drive-way. she grabbed her bag and he got out and they walked hand and hand to the basketball court were Chase was. he smiled, "well, look who it is.." Gabriella giggled, and she peck Troy's lips, "I'm gonna go work on some homework..." Troy smiled, "Have fun.." he kissed her lips once more and she smiled walking up the stairs to the house. Chase passed the ball, and shook his head, "Troy, I thought you didn't fall inlove?" he chuckled.
He scowled, "Just pass the ball," Chase chuckled, "did you grow a pair?" Troy growled, and ran a hand through his hair and down his face, "just pass the damn ball Montez!" Chase chuckled once more, dribbled the ball and passed it to Troy who worked on his trick shot-something that he was awesome at, but he always practiced. Gabriella wasn't leaving his mind, but she wasn't distracting him either, "BOLTON! Focus!" okay maybe she was disstracting him a bit. They kept passing the ball, playing one on one. then Chase stopped him, Troy looked at him, "what?" he said trying to take the ball, "No, first off, I want you to admit that I was right?" Troy looked at him, "Right about what?" "that this would come back at you and bite you in the ass." he chuckled, Troy rolled his eyes, "ok, you were right... I fell deeply inlove with her, night and day she's all I think about...and right now I have the urge to touch and make her mine.." Chase raised an eyebrown, "and your not trying anything? that don't sound like Troy Bolton..." Troy sighed, "you think my life is all about sex and food?" Chase shrugged, but nodded, his best friend scowled, "thanks dude...real friend you are." he passed the ball with a little too much force and stalked off. Chase chuckled, "come on Bolton, I didn't mean it! Troy! Get back here!" Troy only continued to walk, flipping the bird over his shoulder and muttering something about friends who didn't act like them sometimes. He sighed, "People are real jerks sometimes."
