Chapter 4
Layla walked up the stairs to East High School. They entered the glass doors and stepped into the front hall of the school. It was completely deserted. Layla thought. Her and Jaylene looked around for a few minutes until Layla saw the sign that said Office. She started to walk up to the door when she realized Jaylene wasn't following her. She looked around and saw Jaylene staring at a poster. Layla walked over and had to drag Jaylene away from it. "Layla, why did you pull me away? Those guys were hot." Layla didnt even bother to answer her. They walked into the office and saw the secretary was on the phone, so they sat down and waited. Layla looked around the small, airless room. She could never sit in here for 6 hours. The secretary got off the phone and saw the two girls sitting there. "May i help you?" The lady, as Layla looked closer, looked completely fake from her "blonde" hair down to her voice. "Yes, were new to this state and we would like to enroll." "Just fill out these forms and come back tomorrow for your schedules and the school information." She handed Layla and Jaylene a whole book of forms and called someone on the phone. They walked out of the office. As they walked to the shelter, they made fun of the secretary the whole entire way.
The next day, Layla's stomach was in knots. She sat up in her bed and saw Jaylene staring back oat her, her face pale white. They were both nervous. They both got on the bus to drive to the Salvation Army to get 3 weeks worth of clothes since all of their clothes are ripped and dirty. Gabriella picked out a black t-shirt that goes down to her ankles and a pair of jeans with holes in them to wear and pulled her hair up into an elastic for the first day. Jaylene picked out a pink sweatshirt with white capris, she left her hair down. They got their school forms and took the bus to East High. They got out and saw all of the people going into the school. Layla took a deep breath and started to walk up the steps. They walked into the office and dropped the forms off. A new secretary was there that gave them their schedules. As they walked out of the office they moved into a corner and compared schedules. They had 2nd, 3rd, lunch, 4th and 6th periods together. Layla had Ms. Darbus for homeroom and Jalyene had Mrs. Timmons. The classes were across the hall from each other. When they reached their destination, they parted ways and Layla's heart pounded into her throat. She walked into the room and surveyed the scene. Everyone was all over the place and she saw the teacher sipping her coffee, reading a magazine. Layla handed her her schedule and took a seat in the back and took out own of her books. The bell rang and everyone took their seats. Layla was still reading when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw a black hand sticking in her face. "Hey, my name is Taylor. You must be new." it said. Layla took the hand in her own and said. "Ya, my name is Layla." Taylor took her chair and sat it next to Layla's desk. She was wearing a school girl's uniform even though this school doesn't have uniforms and her hair was pulled up. They kept talking until the bell rang that signaled the end of homeroom. They walked out of the classroom and Layla and Taylor waited for Jaylene to come out. When Jaylene spotted them, she ran up to Layla and Taylor. She was followed by a tall lanky but cute boy. Jaylene introduced this boy as Ryan Evans and Taylor introduced herself. Layla got all of her books in homeroom from Ms. Darbus, so she and the other three went to her assigned locker. She put the books she didn't need til after lunch in her locker and checked her schedule again. She had math with Mr. Sullivan and she found out that she had that class with Ryan. As they walked to the math class, Layla learned a few things about Ryan. She learned that he had a twin sister, she is into drama, and he's single. In the math class, they were talking about algebraic equations and Layla was the only one who got every qquestion right. When the bell rang, Layla said goodbye to Ryan and rushed to her locker because she forgot her pen. As she fumbled with the lock, she dropped her binder, textbook, and her tattered copy of Romeo and Juliet. She grabbed her pen and when she went down to grab her other things, she felt flesh against her own. She pulled her hand back and looked into ice blue eyes. She let him grab her stuff, and they both stood up. "I believe these are yours." he handed her the stuff. "Thanks." She grabbed the things from him and shut her locker. She was about to leave, but he blocked her. "Hey, i didn't catch your name." "So." Layla sidetracked him. He grabbed her hand and swung her around. "No one walks around Troy Bolton." It was Layla's turn to smile. "Oh thats your name. I thought it was idiot. and i believe i just walked around you." Troy laughed.
"Since your new, ill let that one slide, since you obviously don't know me." Layla laughed "Obviously huh? .. i didn't know that you knew that word actually existed." Troy sputtered like a fish out of water. As Layla started to walk to class, he said "C'mon don;t be like that. You know you want me." Layla kept on walking and she yelled "Conceited much?" Troy caught up to her side. "Can i ask you a question?" Troy did his familiar smirk " Yes, i will go out with you." "Hahahahaha .. no .. what i wanted to ask you was how you fit your big ego through those small entrance doors everyday?" Troy didn't answer that question but he said. "Your just jelous of this gorgeous head." "Oh .. isn't someone egotisical?" Troy stared at her and laughed. "I'm just aware im hard to resist." They reached Layla's 2nd period class. "Oh really? Well let me resist you with pleasure." She had her hand on the door when Troy asked "Can i at least get your name?" Layla pulled the door opened and stared back into those blue orbs. "Layla" and she walked into the class. Troy walked to his next class inaudibly breathing her name "Layla."
