Gabriella stormed into East High the next morning, her anger making students scurry out of the way, as she stormed down the corridor and towards Jay. She grabbed his arm and slammed him against the lockers.
'OW!' Jay shouted, as his shoulder took the most pain. He opened his eyes and saw Gabriella brandishing her phone at him.
'WHAT is the meaning of this?' she demanded, an arm pushing against his throat, making him splutter.
'What are you on about?' he choked out, as he grabbed her arm and pulled it away from his throat.
'THIS! Read it!' Gabriella brandished the phone closer to him. Jay snatched the phone from her hand and read the text message, frowning as he did.
'I didn't send this' he told her, making Gabriella scoff and shake her head.
'Of course you didn't! Then, who sent it? Mr invisible phone hacker dude?' Gabriella asked sarcastically, aware that a small crowd of students had gathered to watch the argument.
'Oh! Don't get scar-' began Jay, but was cut off by a furious Gabriella.
'I don't want you back! I love Troy and he love me... And that's the way it's going to stay!' Gabriella told Jay, before grabbing her phone back and tucking it into her jean front pocket. 'Stay away from me and Troy! Do you hear?' SHe questioned and without waiting for an answer, she started walking down the corridor, but was spun round when Jay grabbed her arm.
'Ella, I didn't send the text. I could see yesterday that you and Troy are loved up. After what you've been through, you deserve some happiness and I wouldn't want to wreck it... I do love you, but as a friend... That's all I want to be. A friend... Just please allow me that, I don't want to loose you over a stupid text...' Jay said, honesty pouring out with his tone of his voice. Gabriella sighed and looked at him intensely, failing to see Troy and Chad rounding the corner.
'Okay. Fine... We can be friends, but you ever send a text like again... I will hurt you where the sun don't shine' she hissed, lowering her voice as Troy and Chad pushed their way to the front of the crowd and towards Gabriella and Jay.
'Brie? What's going on?' asked Troy, as he planted a fake smile on his face and slipped his arm round Gabriella's waist, pulling her closely to him.
'Nothing' said Gabriella, breaking eye contact with Jay and looking at her boyfriend. 'C'mon, let's get to class' she said, turning round and heading down the corridor, Troy and Chad following a few seconds later, glaring at Jay.
'What did he want?' Chad asked Gabriella, as he and Troy caught up to her.
'Nothing'
'Brie, he had hold of you! What happened?' Troy asked. Gabriella sighed and stopped in her tracks.
'Just a misunderstanding between us! I promise' she said, making Troy nod and let the matter drop, as Gabriella walked toward their homeroom.
'Your not gonna drop this, are you?' Chad asked
'Nope. Meet me in Gym in free period...' said Troy, ignoring the warning bells ringing in his head...
'Why would you want to meet me here?' Jay asked, as he entered the gym, seeing Troy and Chad shooting baskets.
'We need to talk. About Gabriella' Troy answered, watching as the ball swished through the net and bounced back to him. Jay frowned.
'Why do you want to talk to me about her?' Jay asked
'Well, first off... You ever touch MY girl again, I won't be so forgiving... and second, how do you know her? Because she didn't look pleased to see you yesterday' Troy asked, watching Jay closely. Jay raised an eyebrow.
'She hasn't told you?' he asked. Troy stopped bouncing the basketball and looked at him.
'What do you mean?' asked Chad, getting up from the bleachers and standing next to Troy.
'You need to talk to Gabriella. It's her place to tell you, not me... Looks like you don't know your perfect little girlfriend as well as you think you do' Jay said, before grabbing Troy's basketball and shooting the basket at the other end of the Gym, before walking out of the gym, smirking...
'Brie, can you ask you something?' Troy asked. Gabriella pulled away from the heated kiss they were sharing. They were currently on the rooftop during their lunch hour, having an hour away to be themselves.
'Seriously?' she asked, clearly not impressed. Troy nodded and Gabriella groaned, sliding off his lap and sitting next to him on the bench. 'What's up?' she asked.
'How do you know Jay?' the expression on Gabriella's face showed that that was the last thing she expected Troy to ask.
'Excuse me? You stopped a make out session to ask that?' she asked incredulously.
'Answer the question, Gabriella' Troy said, his tone serious. Gabriella sighed and ran a head through her long, black hair.
'I knew him from when I was little... We had a little romance and then it ended when I moved here' Gabriella said. Troy narrowed his eyes slightly, but pressed on the matter.
'But he said something, that I should ask you?' he questioned
'Ask me what?' Gabriella asked, confusedly
'No, he said I should ask you about the fact that you haven't told me something?' Troy said. Gabriella stiffened slightly, but quickly relaxed before Troy noticed and sighed.
'Oh Troy! Don't you realize? He's my ex! He bound to start putting doubt in your head. All you need to know is that I love you and nothing is ever going to change that!' Gabriella said, honesty showing in her tone, body language and through her eyes, making Troy smile and nod.
'I'm sorry, baby' he said, pulling Gabriella in for hug. Gabriella smiled over his shoulder, before her face hardened...
'SETTLE DOWN!' Ms Savage shouted. The class slowly fell silent and listened to their teacher. 'Thankyou. Now, today you will be put into pairs and you will work on this project for six weeks. It's about a topic of your choosing and the affects it can have on our bodies and mind'
'Do we get to choose who we work with?' Chad shouted
'No! I've already decided whose working with who. Now, once you get your partner, I want you to sit with them and make a start. You will work on this outside of class as well as in class... Now, everybody to the front of the class with your belongings adn you will be sorted into your pairs' said Ms Savage. Everyone groaned but did as their teacher said.
'Chad Danforth, Sharpay Evans'
'WHAT!?' they both shrieked, looking at each other horrified, making the rest of the class flinch.
'Sit down!' Ms Savage ordered them. Slowly, they obeyed her and down scowling at each other.
'Thank god, I'm not Chad' Troy whispered to Gabriella, who giggled quietly.
'Ryan Evans, Joshua Cartwright'
'Ellie Bold, Danny Jackson'
'Troy Bolton, Taylor Mckessie'
'EXCUSE ME?'
'WHAT?' Gabriella and Chad's words clashing together, as they spoke at the same time. 'But, Ms Savage... You always pair me and Troy together!' Gabriella continued.
'Tough. I'm mixing it up a little bit! Now, sit down, you two!' she said to Troy and Taylor, who looked apologetically at Gabriella.
'Well, who am I with?' Gabriella asked
'Gabriella Montez, Jay Cooper' said Ms Savage, making Gabriella spin round to face Jay, before facing Ms Savage again.
'NO! I'll work with anyone but Jay!' she promised
'Tough! I decided the partners, so no swapping! Now, sit down and stop complaining or you'll receive detention' Ms Savage told her. Gabriella let out an angry growl and stormed to the back of the classroom, slamming her books down, making the table rock.
'Now... Let's begin!' said Ms Savage clapping her hands...
'I can't believe Ms Savage paired me with you!' Gabriella growled as she sat down on, Jay's sofa, after school.
'Look, I know you'd rather be with your precious Troy, but you're stuck with me! So, you'd better start respecting me! We'll work at your demands, but I promise you, I will get you a good grade' Jay promised. Gabriella sighed and nodded, taking out her laptop.
'Okay! Fine...' she sighed and took a deep breath, calming herself down, before speaking again. 'So, what are we doing our project on?' she asked, logging onto her laptop and opening up internet explorer.
'Thought it's be obvious what we're doing our on' said Jay, making Gabriella look at him, a frown on her face.
'Obvious?' she questioned him, looking at him, as he chuckled.
'Time to delve back into the past, my Ella...' Jay said, smiling at her, making Gabriella gasp quietly...
You know what to do if you want more...
