Chapter 4- Jealousy

Gabriella sat there, thinking of what Troy warned her about.

Does Ryan still like me? Gabriella thought out loud. She covered up her mouth. Did I just say that?

Gabriella shook her head, clearing her thoughts. It cannot be. She thought again.

There was really nothing you can do in the morning. Gabriella had classes in the afternoon and Troy had his Algebra class at 10:15 in the morning. And yet, it's 10:15am, the clock reads.

Gabriella got out of bad and walked to the bathroom. She saw her reflection in the mirror and shook her head.

God, Troy always told me that I look beautiful even in the morning when his breath would stink. Gabriella took a closer look at herself. Was she the beautiful girl Troy talked about? Gabriella giggled.

She went in the shower and came out 10 minutes after that. Just then she heard a knock on the door…


Troy laid his head down. Algebra had always been his worse subject. He wasn't as skilled as Gabriella, but he wasn't bad at it. He just didn't like it.

The girl that that sat beside him was very quiet. She never asked questions or answer questions. The weirdest thing is, her dark hair is always in front of her face and the dark make-up around her eyes made her look gothic.

Troy looked over at her. She was taking notes furiously. What her name was, Troy never knew. All he knew was that she has delicate handwriting like Gabriella's.

The neat handwriting kind of surprised Troy. It was amazing how a gothic girl that was in love with skeletons to have such delicate handwriting.

Troy tapped on the girl's shoulder and decided maybe they could be friends.

"What do you want?" The gothic girl shot a pissed look over at Troy.

"Nothing. What's your name?" Troy looked closer at her.

"We're not in Kindergarten making new friends." The gothic girl said coolly. "I'll talk to you after class." She sighed. Well, maybe it will be nice to have a friend. She thought. He's quite attractive.

Two hours had passed. Class, was finally over!

The girl got up from her seat and looked at Troy. Sexy. The girl thoughtShe blinked hard. What was I thinking?

Troy got up from his seat and walked over to her. "What's up?"

"Yeah, whatever." The girl said.

"Hey, wait. You said you'd talk to me. What's your name?" Troy touched her arm.

"Fine, Nicola Hawthorne."

"That's a cool name. So it's like nickel as in money, Nickel-a?" Troy confirmed jokingly.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Nicola rolled her eyes.

"Nice to meet you, Nicola. I'm Troy Bolton."

"Cool." Nicola brightened the mood. After all, he seems nice.

"Do you mind having lunch with me? I'm usually alone." Troy smiled.

"Of course." Nicola walked out the classroom with Troy.

"What's your favorite class so far?" Troy asked.

Nicola said, "None. College sucks. My parents made me take it."

"I took it because it was my choice."

"Well, lucky. I dropped out of high school two years ago and my mom got so mad she made me go to college. I almost got a record deal with for my rock music career."

Troy looked at Nicola. Wow, a record deal?

Troy and Nicola walked to McDonalds'. Well, Troy didn't want to make it a "date".

"McDonalds'? You're taking me to McD's?" Nicola eyed Troy with confusion.

"Yeah…" Troy chuckled nervously.

"Whatever. Let's eat something." Nicola walked to the font where they order.

After they got their food, Troy and Nicola sat down at a table and talked. When Nicola got to the point about their own love life. Troy paused.

"I asked you, do you have a girlfriend?" Nicola said, trying to break Troy from his trance.

Troy was surely in a trance. Whenever someone mentions girlfriend. He visualized Gabriella kissing her passionately.

"Troy, yo?" Nicola snapped her fingers in front of his face.

"Oh! Umm… Yeah." Troy blushed.

Nicola wanted to know more. He had a girlfriend? "What's her name?"

"Gabriella Montez. I've been dating her ever since 7th grade. And she was the girl that stole my first kiss." Troy blushed more.

Nicola faked a laugh. "She sounds great." Nicola forced a fake smile. She really didn't want to smile. She was jealous. Why? I can't be jealous. Oh my god! I'm falling on love with Troy Bolton. This can't be happening!
