Troy stood awkwardly next to Mia and Josh.
"how do you know Jeff?" Troy asked Josh
"Oh, we had to work on a floor plan together. I've only know him for about 3 months."
"oh, ok" Troy answered
Mia left to go talk to some friends of hers while Troy and Josh got to know each other.
"So, I'm heading over to the bar, you want anything?" Josh asked
"actually, I'll join you" Troy replied
As they made their way over to the bar, Troy noticed Gabriella sitting with Jeff. He and Josh made their way towards them.
"No! Jeff, you know I don't drink!" Gabriella said as she pushed away the glass of Jack Daniels.
"Come on! You know what can happen!" he said pushing the glass back towards her." You could tell he was drunk
"No! besides, I'm here with Troy!" she said, crossing her arms.
"forget about that worthless, piece of –"
"Troy's not worthless! In fact, he's the sweetest guy I know. He's more than half the man you wish you were." Gabriella exclaimed, standing up, starting to walk away.
"Get back here!" he yelled, grabbing her by the arm, knocking the glass of alcohol over, sending it crashing to the floor.
The yelling and crashing glass caused everyone to stop and stare. People who were talking stopped and looked over at the commotion.
The room fell silent as Gabriella tried to squirm her arm out of Jeff's grip, but it was too tight.
"Jeff! Let me go! You're hurting me!" she said.
This caused Jeff to squeeze harder.
Troy quickly ran to her aid.
"she said, let her go" he said in a dark voice.
Jeff staggered, trying to punch Troy, but instead stumbled and let go of Gabriella's arm.
Gabriella, startled, fell to the floor. She cried out in pain as her hands crushed the broken glass on the floor.
Troy quickly helped her up, careful not to hurt her.
"Jeff, leave before I damage you" Troy said.
Jeff looked to Josh for help.
"Man, not cool" Josh said, "get out"
Jeff stumbled out of the place, muttering violently under his breathe. As he got to the door, he turned around and yelled, "You're a worthless whore!"
Troy turned around to face Jeff. He started to stalk towards Jeff, but Gabriella called out to him.
"Troy, leave him. He's just drunk"
"Gabrie--"
"please?" she begged.
"fine."
"you're a piece of shit, just like your boyfriend there!" Jeff called.
Josh turned towards Troy and said, "Troy, I got this. You just take care of Gabriella"
Troy led Gabriella towards his old room, which was still decorated from his highschool days.
"Basketball player?" Gabriella asked, looking around at all the basketball related items and photos.
"how'd you guess?" Troy asked sarcastically.
"I'll be right back with a first aid kit" Troy said, leaving the room.
Gabriella walked around the room. He eyes scanned the pictures and landed on the one of Troy in his uniform.
"cute" she said, subconsciously
She walked back to where Troy had left her in the room.
"so how do you really know this Jeff?" Troy asked as he walked back in with the first aid kit.
