Yea, yea, yea, I know the last chapter was pretty boring but hey this chapter has Gabriella kicking the crap out of a stranger.
Gabriella was walking home from the party. She had already changed her clothes so she was wearing converse, a t-shirt, ripped jeans and a hoodie. She was just walking the street minding her own business when she saw a man and a kid in an alley. She got closer and saw that the man was carrying a knife and the boy was up against the corner.
"Hey get away from him!" What is wrong with me why can't I mind my own business? Gabriella thinks.
The man turns around to see who says it. "Just stay out of it chick." The man says. "I said leave the boy alone." She says more confidently going towards the man. What is wrong does my brain have no control over my body? Gabriella thinks.
The man swings the knife at her head but she ducks just in time. When she gets back up she kicks the knife out of his hands. The stranger is utterly surprised she can fight and so is she. He swings his right hand to try to punch but she blocks, he swings his left but she does the same. He grabs her wrist to try to tie her down but she lets go of his grip and kicks him in the stomach.
Gabriella surprised at her new fighting abilities thinks about leaving but then the man starts to get up and she kicks him right in the face. She sees his knife and gets on him and puts it by his neck.
"This is the last time I'm going to say this leave the boy alone." She says and gets off him giving him the perfect opportunity to run for his life and he takes it.
When Gabriella looks around for the boy she finds him already trying to leave. "Hey, hey kid get back here!" she yells but he simply ignores her. So she goes up to him and grabs him by the arm and spins him around where she gets her first good look at him.
The boy looked about 15 or 16. He had spiky black hair and emerald green eyes. The weird thing was he was wearing the same amulet Gabriella was wearing except the gem was emerald like his eyes. And in the moonlight you could see a tint of green in his air.
"What are doing wearing that?" The boy asks looking at her amulet. "Sure I just save your life and the first thing you notice is my jewelry thanks." Gabriella says sarcastically.
"Hey I could've handled it myself I never asked you to help. Anyways why are wearing that only men are allowed to wear it." The boy still asks.
Gabriella just rolls her eyes. "Yea cause getting your ass kicked is handling it and this amulet was my fathers and that's none of your business." "Was your father stupid enough to give it to a woman?" "Man you are sexes why are you wearing that."
"That is none of your business. What's your name?" the kid asks "Gabriella Montez. Yours?" she asks back "Jake Lian, anyways I gotta go." And starts walking off.
"Your welcome!" Gabriella says completely offended and walks home.
Monday morning
Gabriella woke that Monday morning thinking of the events that happened Saturday night. Her grandma told her she was a dragon girl, Troy Bolton told her she was gorgeous and she kicked the butt of some random stranger for a sexes guy. Nothing really happened on Sunday she just stayed at home playing video games.
Gabriella got out of bed took a shower put on some clothes and got ready for school then went down stairs for breakfast. When she got down the stairs she was in for some news from her sister.
"You signed me up for what!" Gabriella exclaimed almost spitting out her coco puffs. "Well you know how your always a loner at school well I signed you up to help at the library to make new friends and you can get your grades up get into a good college." Isabella says cheerfully like the library was a good thing.
"Okay 1: who makes friends at the library and 2: I like not passing and being on the F, D honor roll." Gabriella says in a matter of factly way.
"Well too late now hey look different did you die your darker." Isabella says looking at her. Gabriella confused goes to a mirror and looks at herself and Isabella was right she did look different. Her hair was pitch black but in the light you could see tints of blue. Her soft brown eyes were wider and much darker like a predator's. She was even taller and looked more confident.
"Okay spooky." Gabriella says looking at her reflection. Isabella just got over at started going to school. "Hey need a ride?" she asks. "No I'm fine I'll just walk."
"Okay. I don't know why you didn't want a car for your 16th birthday." Isabella says. "I don't mind be sides walking good for you." And leaves for school while she walks and Isabella drives.
At school Gabriella was heading towards the library a place that she dreaded. Then she bumped into someone and fell to the ground.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry… again." The same deep voice from Saturday night says. Gabriella looks up to see the ocean blue eyes of Troy Bolton. He offers his hand and she takes it.
"We have to stop bumping into each other." Gabriella says "Yea I know you okay." "Oh yea fine my butt hurts but I'm fine."
He chuckles "Okay so going to your next class?" "Sadly no the library your girlfriend signed me up to help." Gabriella says in disgust. "Anyways got to go to the library bye."
"Bye." She walks away he just stares off into space thinking about her.
With Gabriella at the library she walks in to see a girl her age with black hair (not as black as Gabriella's) with red and white streaks. She also had bright sharp blue eyes. She was helping out at the check out counter. Then a boy comes up to her. "So emo girl you gonna go home and cut yourself." He says
"Bite me." She says with venom. "Whoa okay emo chick gotta go anyways." He says and leaves. "She's not emo she's scene." Gabriella says as he walks out the door.
"How do you know what scene is?" the girl asks "Who doesn't it's just like emo except your not that moody and you don't cut. Gabriella by the way." She says holding out her hand. "Serena. New at the library business?"
"Yea my sister signed me up don't really want to be here. What about you?"
"My mom signed me up for extra credit failing in school." Just then a girl came in from a room in the library with a load of books in her hands. She was just about to fall when Gabriella caught her.
"Thank you. Fast reflexes," She compliments "I'm Melody bye the way."
"Gabriella" "Serena" she says everybody introducing themselves. Melody had caramel colored hair and big warm brown eyes. "Cool didn't think you can make friend at a library" Melody says "Yea me either," Serena says "Melody, the librarian wants to see us about something." And she and Melody walk off into a room.
Gabriella not sure of what to do starts looking around the library see what kind of books they have. Then she notices something odd it was a lady in her early 30s wearing leather and black sunglasses. She was carrying what looked like a wand in her hand. She was watching Gabriella's every move. Gabriella was trying hard to ignore her but it was pretty hard when you know a lady is stalking you. That's when the lady starts to get up and starts walking towards Gabriella.
"Excuse me are you Gabriella Montez?" the lady asks.
"This is she. Why do you ask?" she asks nervously. "No reason." The lady asks.
The mysterious lady steps back and holds up her wand and fire starts coming out aimed right at Gabriella.
