Ch. 4
Around 7:15, Nathan and Gabriella arrived at East High. Their mom dropped them off and then drove off to work. They felt like a thousand pairs of eyes were staring at them but no one was looking at them. Well except some girls who were looking at Nathan but besides that no one else.
They walked into the school halls that were filled with people who all knew each other. Nathan walked Gabriella to her locker and then walked to his. He really didn't want to leave her side cause he knew that Gabriella is always afraid of embarrassing herself in front of everyone on her first day of a new school. He reached his locker and opened it.
He put his bag in it and then closed it. "Hey Nathan!" He turned around when his name was called. He came face to face with Chad, Jason, and Zeke. "Hey guys. Where's Troy?" "He's on his way to school." "Oh okay then. So what do you guys do here at East High?" Nathan asked as they walked down the halls towards the entrance of the school. "Oh I don't know. We play ball, mess with people, and so on." Nathan chuckled at Chad's response. They reached the outdoors and walk to a table with people. Chad introduced him to a couple of more players from the team.
Then a guy on crutches came up to them. "Hey guys." The guy said. They all turned and gasped at the sight in front of them. Nathan didn't know who he was. "Dude what happened?" Chad asked the kid. "I fell off my bed while sleeping. I hit my table and the stack of books on my table fell on top of my leg." Some of the guys at the table laughed. Chad hit myself in the head. "Ugh dude coach is going to kill you when he finds out."
"Yeah I know." "So how long are you out for?" "The doctor said 5 months." "5 months! You have got to be kidding me!" Chad yelled. "I'm sorry Chad. Now the teams going to have to held tryouts for more players." "And you know how much Coach Bolton hates that." Chad replied. "Yeah I do trust me." Nathan suddenly remembered what Chad said.
"Whoa. Coach Bolton?" Nathan asked. Chad looked at him like he was dumb or something but remembered he was new to the school. "Oh yeah. Troy's dad is the head coach of the team. I totally forgot to tell you. I need to fill you in on everything around here at East High my friend." Chad put an arm around Nathan's shoulders. "First of all, Troy is the East High Primo boy. He's captain of the team and the only sophomore in history to make the varsity team and take us to a championship. Even though we lost but that's beside the point." Nathan chuckled at his last comment.
"Anyways moving on. We all are in cliques. There are always cliques. You have to be in one or you're just an outsider. And you my friend you are with us. The jocks." Nathan nodded like he understood but didn't understand why the school had to have cliques. Then suddenly a pink convertible pulled up and out stepped a blonde girl and a guy. Chad groaned. "And that my friend is the Ice Queen Sharpay Evans and her twin brother Ryan Evans. Don't and I mean don't ever try to reason with her. You never win. Period." Nathan nodded his head. "Well that's all you need to know my friend. If you know that, you'll get through your years here at East High."
Gabriella put her things in her locker and closed it. She turned around to try and find her brother through the crowded halls but couldn't. She sighed and gave up. She whipped out her phone and was about to call someone when she hears her name called. "Gabriella?" She looked up to see Troy standing in front of her. "Hey Troy." "Hey." They hug. The people walking by watched them. "So where's your brother?" Troy asked her after pulling away from her embrace.
"Um…I don't know exactly. He walked me to my locker and then walked to his and disappeared into the halls." Troy chuckled. "Is this your locker?" he asked her. "Yeah why?" "Oh nothing. It's just that my locker is right next to yours." "Oh well isn't that exciting. I get to see you every morning." She said unexpectly. Troy saw her blush and just laughed. He look straight into her eyes and so did she. They're stood there looking at each other until Troy realized what he was doing. He quickly broke eye contact.
He opened his locker and put his binder in there and closed it. He looks back to her. "We should go find the rest of the guys. Maybe your brother's with them." He said turning to her. "The guys?" "Yeah. There my friends that I introduced Nathan to at practice yesterday." "Oh." "Yeah um…should we go?" "Yeah sure." They walked down the hallways and out the front entrance. They shared laughs as they approach a table. Troy looked up as they stopped at a table. Chad saw him walking with her. "Sup Captain?" Troy smiled and did their handshake with Chad, Jason, and Zeke. He said hi to the others and saw Nathan. "What's up Nate?" "Hey Troy."
The guys stare at the girl that Troy brought with him. Chad called to Troy. "Hey Captain. Is this your girlfriend or something?" Gabriella blushed at Chad's comment. "Oh look she's blushing. She must be his girlfriend." Zeke pointed out the obvious. Troy turned to them. "Guys she's not my girlfriend. She's Nathan's sister, Gabriella." "Nathan you had a sister and you didn't tell me." Chad shot at him. Nathan just shrugged. He walked over to Gabi. "How you're doing sis?" "Good I guess." Nathan hugged her. He pulled away. "Gabi I like you to meet the buddies of Troy. That dude right there with the big afro is Chad, that's Jason, and that's Zeke." "Hi. Nice to meet you all." She replied. They all smiled at her.
Then Chad turned to face Troy. "Dude, Johnny hurt his foot, don't ask how." Troy stood in shock. "He broke his foot?" "Yeah." "Ugh who's going to be our point guard now?" Just then a idea came into Troy's head. He turned to face Nathan. "Hey Nate do you want to join the team?" Nathan looked at him puzzled. "What?"
AN: Okay that's all you guys. I know that there really wasn't that much Troyella fluff but there will be one chapter when Troy debates on if she should ask her out or not. That's like chapter 6. Anyways review. The next chapter is going to be more Troyella beginning and their first day at school still.
