Right, so the film, High School Musical 2, was officially watched by some of my reviewers the other day! Lol, I really don't want any of you guys to tell me, I'm in the UK so I really would appreciate it if you guys wouldn't tell me. I'm begging you guys! Please, please guys, be good friends and don't mention anything that happened in the film.
Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Chapter 2 – Help! I'm A Fish!
TROY and Gabriella were picked up from school that day by Gabriella's Mom. Mrs Montez was eager for the two youngsters to be friends again and tried to spark up conversations in the car. It did not go well.
"So has there been anything interesting going on in school?" Mrs Montez queried.
"Not really, we've got a new Drama Teacher." Gabriella said.
"Do you like Drama Troy?" Mrs Montez asked.
"Not really, 'Troy answered, "It's not really my cup of tea."
"I see, I see." Mrs Montez answered.
As they drove the silence became all the more awkward. Mrs Montez noticed that Gabriella kept looking at Troy through the mirror. She smirked as they pulled into her parking place, it would be adorable if they got together.
"Gabriella, go and help Troy get some clothes and I'll start dinner." Mrs Montez told her daughter.
"Okay." Gabriella said reluctantly and she and Troy made their way to Troy's house.
They opened the door and Troy allowed Gabriella inside. They made their way upstairs quietly and Troy opened the door and Gabriella went in before him.
"Hmm, surprisingly, I expected your bedroom to be different than this." Gabriella said taking in the red wildcat bedroom.
"There's lot you don't know about me, freaky genius girl." Troy snapped.
"Oh now you're all talk when my mother isn't around." Gabriella screamed.
"Oh shut it Montez! Just grab my things and let's go." Troy ordered and Gabriella went into the bathroom and grabbed his toothpaste and toothbrush.
When she came out Troy was clasping some of his clothes in his hands. He threw Gabriella an icy stare and the two left together, not talking and bearing each other a cold shoulder.
MRS Montez made Gabriella and Troy do homework together in Gabriella's room. It was quiet in the room, Gabriella scribbling down notes as Troy played very unsuccessfully on the DS.
"Damn it! Lost again." Troy complained.
"Can't you please be quiet?" Gabriella asked looking up from her book.
"Why would I want to? Anyway, relax a little, you're so uptight." Troy said.
"I am not!" Gabriella retorted.
Troy raised his eyebrows and Gabriella sat back breathing, she had just foolishly realised that she did sound uptight and that made her all the more angry with herself and with Troy.
"See, I told you. I told you that you were uptight." Troy said looking triumphant.
"Whatever." Gabriella said rolling her eyes.
They sat in a constant silence until Mrs Montez called them down for dinner. Troy tossed the salad and Gabriella helped her mother stir the pasta sauce.
"Salad's done." Troy said.
"Here let me help you." Gabriella said trying to take the salad from the young jock.
"No, its fine." Troy said pulling the salad back.
"I want to help." Gabriella complained.
"Well don't, I'm fine. I'm a big boy now." Troy said smirking.
"You don't act it."
"Oh grow up Montez!" Troy spat.
"Make me slob!" Gabriella screamed and suddenly Gabriella slipped and the salad bowl and Troy went tumbling down on top of her. Mrs Montez gasped as she saw a large jug of icy water came tumbling down on top of them soaking both Gabriella and Troy to the bone.
Troy and Gabriella lay there, mesmerized, Gabriella found it hard to breathe, she had never seen such beautiful eyes. He had rich, enchanting Ultramarine eyes that sparkled with such intensity.
Troy was completely shocked; the look of astonishment on Gabriella's face rendered him powerless. Her heavy breathy against his chest made it a little hard to think about much else than ravaging her on the floor.
"Look what you've done! Clean up this mess immediately!" A bellowing Mrs Montez demanded waking the two out of their reveries.
Troy pushed himself, unwillingly from Gabriella and stood up, facing Mrs Montez guiltily.
"I'm so sorry Mrs Montez; I'll clean this mess up immediately." Troy said ignoring Gabriella who staggered unsuccessfully to her feet.
"You'd better, both of you. If it hadn't been for your continual arguing then this would never have happened." Mrs Montez said sternly.
"We're sorry Mama, we'll fix everything." Gabriella said innocently.
"Hmm, very well. Troy may I speak to you for a moment?" Mrs Montez asked.
"Um…sure." Troy replied, not really knowing where the conversation was going to lead.
Mrs Montez led him through to the living room and shut the door behind her. She turned to Troy, he was covered in lettuce and tomatoes and was dripping wet.
"Yes ma'am?" He asked when she did not say anything.
"No! Nothing, I just thought you might want to cool down for a moment, I think you should stay here until um…your…well…manhood has deflated." Mrs Montez said and she had turned a rather preposterous crimson before she walked off to order a pizza.
Troy looked down and cursed aloud to himself, there was that bulge in his trousers…again! Damn Gabi!
GABRIELLA was not really impressed to know that Troy was walking to school with Taylor and herself that day. He tagged along behind them, much to her dismay and Gabriella found it hard to talk to Taylor with Troy's eyes on her.
"All I'm saying Gabriella is that the formula wasn't X plus 2 times the quantity of sugar…it was –"
"Oh brother!" Troy moaned rolling his eyes; they had just arrived in east high and had spent the entire walk talking about equations! What a bore!
Gabriella decided it was best to bite her tongue; she had gotten in so much trouble last night for fighting with Troy.
"Ooh, not in the arguing mood today huh?" Troy chuckled and she tried her hardest to bite back the great comeback she had.
She shook her head and kept walking; the sound of heels behind them startled them all.
"BOLTON! MONTEZ! DETENTION!" Mrs Darbus snapped.
The trio turned around, their mouths hung open. There the Drama teacher stood her large circular glasses perched on the edge of her nose and her beady eyes watching them shiftily.
"But Miss Darbus, we didn't do anything." Gabriella protested.
"Don't argue Miss Montez. You'll be at my detention after school today. Let's see if I can rectify Mr Bolton's and yourselves disagreements." The Drama teacher said and she walked off laughing.
Troy turned to Gabriella looking perplexed.
"She really scares me." He told her.
"You're not the only one." Gabriella said shaking her head and they all walked through the doors of East High, ready for another day!
TROY and Gabriella turned up for Detention that day after school. Gabriella had called her mother to tell her they would be walking home. They walked into the large hall, it was in darkness and quite eerie.
They heard a large bang and Gabriella grabbed Troy's hand, they looked at each other, not sure what had just happened and jumped apart.
"Where is Miss Darbus?" Troy asked.
"I don't know, she said for us to be here." Gabriella said shrugging her shoulders.
"Hello!" Troy called and his voice echoed through the empty hall.
They made their way down the chairs and went to the stage. Troy saw Gabriella go to the stage. She stood on the stage and twirled on the spot. She giggled to herself and went tumbling to the floor. Troy rushed onto the stage and helped her up.
"Are you alright?" Troy asked gently.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Gabriella said, blushing.
"Do you like all of this?" Troy asked still holding her in his arms.
Gabriella nodded, "I love the theatre, I've always loved Musicals, their like my favourite genre's of films."
"Is…is that what you want to do when you're older…as a career?" Troy questioned.
"Maybe…if they think I'm good enough." Gabriella said.
"Then why haven't you ever tried out for Musicals?" Troy asked.
"Bec…Because I have…stage fright!" Gabriella said.
"Well that's silly!" Troy said and suddenly the moment was ruined.
"What? How is that silly?" Gabriella demanded looking furious.
"It just is! I mean come on, stage fright, it's pathetic." Troy said sternly.
Gabriella yanked herself away from Troy's arms, the warmth that had been there was gone and she no longer wanted to be there.
"Great Troy, way to go for being sympathetic." Gabriella said scrunching her nose at him.
"Always here to help." Troy said sarcastically.
The doors suddenly slammed open and there was light flashing in their eyes.
"Aliens!" Troy screamed ducking behind Gabriella.
"No but close enough." Gabriella said her eyes on Miss Darbus.
"Hello children. Come and stand before me." She said clicking her fingers.
Troy poked his head over Gabriella's shoulder, terrified; she was the only person who could scare him. Gabriella walked towards the teacher, an impassive look on her face and he followed after her.
"Let your anger out children!" Miss Darbus ordered.
"What?" Troy and Gabriella queried together.
"Let us not see if we can deal with this problem maturely." Miss Darbus replied.
"No!" Troy said.
"Pardon?" Miss Darbus said raising her eye brows.
Gabriella looked at Troy and met his firm gaze, she felt a great surge of courage enter her and she stomped her foot hard and said, "No! We're not!"
"Oh really, 'Miss Darbus exclaimed firmly, "Well I do have other means of rectifying your disagreements young lovers."
"Huh?" Troy and Gabriella said cocking their eyebrows, truly and utterly perplexed with their wacky Drama teacher.
"Ooh, Ahh, Ahh, Ooh, Waka, Waka, Oooohhhahhhhhheeeeeeeee." (By the way, she's talking fish here! Lol, I know confusing!)
The Drama started to dance some crazy dance, waving her around her head and making strange noise.
"Humu, Humu! Humuhumunukunukuapua'a!" She said and she waved her arms around Troy and he yelped backing off as she continued to dance and screech.
"What the heck is she doing?" Troy asked standing behind Gabriella.
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders, feeling dominant to Troy who hid behind her, "Beats me?"
Suddenly, Miss Darbus stretched to her full height and looked at the pair and smirked.
"You may leave!" She said softly.
"Don't have to tell us twice, 'Troy said yanking Gabriella's hand and pulling her away, "Come on Gabs, we're going!"
And they darted off not turning back to watch the Drama teacher watching them smugly.
"Wisdom will come to them. They will find comfort in each other." Miss Darbus said before she turned to inspect her stage for her winter Musicale!
"DID you see what she was doing? It was like some sort of voodoo Ritual." Troy screamed, that night as he and Gabriella paced the room back and fore.
"Look, she probably didn't mean anything by it. None of us really know miss Darbus yet." The young brunette said.
"And after that performance, I don't want to get to know her!" Troy exclaimed.
Gabriella giggled and picked up her book, she looked up at Troy and saw him lurch forward. His face in the mirror opposite became pale and contorted.
"Are…are you alright?" She queried standing.
His skin became a tainted silver and his legs started to grow smaller and smaller until he tumbled to the floor.
"Help!" He bellowed.
Gabriella screamed and dropped her book to the floor; she pressed herself tight against the wall finding it hard to breathe as she watched Troy's arms became thin, like paper and look wafer – like. His eyes turned to the side of his head and his mouth started to open, then close, then open then close again. He fell to the floor with a flop and started to toss and flip and flop. He caught sight of himself in the mirror, finding it hard to ignore Gabriella's tight, frightening screams, he tried to scream too but nothing came out of his mouth.
He heard his voice echo through his mind.
Help! I'm a fish!
Gabriella quickly came to herself and picked Troy up as he flipped and flopped in her arms, his mouth kept on opening and closing, she was in a state of shock.
She shoved him into her glass of water and he lay there up right but at least he could breathe again.
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?"
Okay, so I'm going to leave it there. Sorry, its took me so long to update. This story, believe me or not, is harder to write than it looks! I can't wait to see what you guys think of this chapter and I'm looking forward to your reviews. xoxMusicalxox
