Gabriella looked at her yellow alarm clock; which accented her baby blue, and yellow room. She saw that the time was eight o'clock. My mom should be at work.

All I have to do is go downstairs, grab something to eat, and don't get caught by Antonio. She thought to herself.

She opened her door very slowly, and tip toed down her big staircase. She was scared and mad at the same time.

When she finally reached her white and black kitchen she took a deep breath. She went over to the counter close to the sink where boxes of pop tarts were sitting. She opened the box and grabbed the strawberry pop tart and when she turned around and there he was.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" He asked rubbing his over sized stomach.

"Its something called school. Oh, I forgot a drop out like you wouldn't know where that was." Gabriella said rolling her eyes. She stared as the stranger that was now living with her went to the refrigerator. He looked so disgusting. His hair was thinning in the middle. You could clearly see he was trying to cover it up with hair on the side of his head. He was wearing a dirty white tee, and some big gray sweat pants. His white tee was too tight on him, and it clearly showed his oversized belly.

"You know what you better stop being a smart ass." He retorted while getting a beer out of the refrigerator.

"Whatever." Gabriella said rolling her eyes again.

Just than a car beeped and she knew exactly who it was. She started to walk near the door when Antonio grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?" Gabriella asked surprised.

"Say goodbye and that you love me." He said taking a gulp of his beer.

Gabriella could smell the odor that was coming from underneath his arms. He smelled horrible. "You are not my father." Gabriella said rudely while scrunching up her nose.

"I will be in a couple of months." He said with an evil grin.

"I don't care if you and my mother do get married you will never be my father." She screamed. Another honk came from outside.

"Who the fuck is that?" Antonio asked letting go of Gabriella and going over to the door.

"Are you alright?" Troy asked when Gabriella had entered the car and put her seat belt on.

"No, because I'm pretty much sure my mother is going to marry that dumb ass. Then when they find out that I'm pregnant I'm pretty much sure he's going to convince her to ship me off somewhere." Gabriella said irritated.

"No there not. I'm going to make sure of that myself." Troy said taking one hand from the steering wheel and holding Gabriella's hands.

Gabriella looked at Troy who was cautiously looking at the road. "How are you going to make sure of that?"

"I found a place for us to stay until we can save up enough money to get an apartment, or until I can get a scholarship at a school that will pay for you, me, and the baby to stay."

"Really where?" Gabriella asked excited. She could just imagine her and Troy living together it sounded perfect.

"I'll show you when schools over." He said making a right into the parking lot of their school. "Just let me warn you that it's not the high life that you're used to living."

Gabriella leaned over and gave Troy a kiss on the cheek. "As long as I'm with you I'll be fine." She said sincerely.

Troy smiled and took his girlfriends hand. "Are you ready?" He asked looking into her brown eyes. He could feel her hands shaking which meant no, but he thought it as polite to ask.

"No, but I have no choice." She said looking into

Troy's blue eyes. Out of everything on her boyfriend's body she had to say that his eyes were the best. His nice brown hair, and handsome smile made him cute, but his blue eyes is what set him off. When she looked into them it was like she was looking at an ocean.

Just then there was a tap at both of their windows. On Gabriella's side it was Taylor, and on Troy's side it was Chad.

Gabriella looked at Troy who looked guilty. "Why do you look like that?" She asked suspiciously.

"Well, I sort of told Chad about the baby, and Chad told Taylor." Troy blurted out with out even thinking. He hated how he couldn't lie to Gabriella know matter how much he wanted to.

"Oh, that's great so does the whole school know I'm pregnant?" Gabriella asked a little irritated. She didn't want the whole school to know.

"No just the two of them I promise." Troy said crossing his heart. Gabriella knew that Troy couldn't lie so she trusted that only the two of them knew. She stepped put of the car and Taylor gave her a big hug.

"I knew something was up by the way you talked on the phone." She said hugging her tightly. When she was done everybody was staring in the parking lot. "Could we not talk about this here everyone is staring." Gabriella whispered into Taylor's ear.

Taylor nodded kind of embarrassed at her sudden out burst. She just couldn't believe that Gabriella out of all people was pregnant.

Gabriella walked into school trying to act as if nothing was wrong. As if it was just another November day. She had a fake smile on her face and held her head up high.

In the near corner at her pink locker was Sharpay looking at Gabriella jealously. "Why does she always get all of the attention?" Sharpay asked her brother.

Ryan who was at the locker next to hers. "Sharpay you know that Gabriella isn't trying to get all the attention." Ryan said getting tired of how much She talked about Gabriella.

"If she didn't want all of the attention she should've never gone out with Troy." Sharpay pouted while

crossing her arms.

Ryan just rolled his eyes at his sister. He was getting tired of Sharpay always bitching and moaning. He looked over to the left and saw Chelsea struggling with her books. He went over to her and politely asked if she needed any help.

"Wow, you actually left your sisters side to help me out?" She asked while handing him her books.

"Yeah, well you looked like you needed help so I thought that I might come over here and…"

"Wait are you flirting with me?" Chelsea asked surprised. She pushed her glasses back up her nose.

"That depends do you like it?" Ryan asked with a grin on his face.

"No, I don't." She said sternly. She took her books

from out of his hands and headed off to her next

class. She looked back to take a glance at Ryan who

"I can't believe you got Gabriella pregnant." Chad whispered while Troy and him entered the school.

"I know it still freaks me out every time I see her stomach." He whispered back.

"What are you going to do?" Chad stopped and looked around to see if anybody was listening. "I mean did you guys tell your parents yet, what about college, and money?"

"I we still have many things to do before this baby comes." Troy said holding up his hands innocently. "But I believe that Gabriella and I can do this as long as we have one another."

"How long did it take you to rehearse that line?" Chad asked unimpressed.

Sharpay watched as the man of her dreams was walking past her locker. She wondered what him and Chad could be talking about that was so secretive.

After a while she decided to go and find out herself.

She left her locker and went up the stairs near the cafeteria to where Troy's locker was. As usual him and Chad were talking about something.

"Hi, Troy!" Sharpay said enthusiastically.

"Hi." Troy said without even looking her way.

"Hi." Chad said waving to Sharpay.

Sharpay didn't even pay Chad any mind. "So Troy word on the street is that you are going to bring the East High wildcats to another school championship?"

"I'm going to try." He said still not looking at her.

"Well, one of daddy's friends said that they are looking forward to seeing you play." Sharpay said trying to get some emotion out of Troy.

Gabriella walked up to her boyfriend's locker.

"Sharpay what are you doing here?" She asked nicely.

"Gabriella." She said looking her up and down. She immediately noticed that she had gained a few pounds. "You're looking a little chubby." She said with an evil smile on her face.

That got Troy's complete and full attention. "I think you should leave." Troy said stepping in between the two ladies.

"Are you talking to me?" Sharpay asked pointing at herself like she was innocent.

"Yes." He said stepping back and putting his left arm around Gabriella.

Sharpay smiled evily and went up to Troy's right side. "If you ever get tired of playing around with that little girl call me." She whispered seductively in his ear and slipped her number in his back pocket. Then she walked away.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "I can't believe you just stood there and let her do that." She said taking Troy's arm from around her shoulder.

"What did you want me to do?" Troy asked defensively.

The warning bell rang which told them to head to there next period class. Gabriella glared at Troy and without another word left his locker.

Troy looked down at his feet. Nothing is going right. He thought to himself.

"It made no since for her to do that." Chad said looking at how down his best friend was.

"Why?" Troy asked surprised. He had totally forgotten that chad was even there.

"Because we have first period together, Ms. Darbus."

Troy laughed at his best friends joke. At least somebody was on his side. He thought to himself.
