Hey everyone! I'm not sure if I'm just starting to confuse you all or what with this story... Gabi, Blake, Summer, C, and Zac all resemble someone from when Troy and Gabriella went to school... Gabriella (Ms. Montez), Taylor, Sharpay, Ryan, and Chad all work at East High... Troy is not there obviously... you'll see him later... Okay, tell me if you're still confused... Here's chapter four! Enjoy!
Back at East High
Chapter four
Ms. Montez was waiting for the class to find their seats and while she waited for the final bell to ring, she wrote a few due dates on the green chalk board. A few clouds covered the sky outside but it didn't look like it would rain anytime soon so Ms. Montez decided she would still let the class work on their project outside. She led them outside and they sat on the bright green grass that tickled their legs. Gabi timidly sat down next to Blake who was getting a piece of paper out of his binder. Each group brought a few snacks to eat during the interviews with their partners; Gabi brought green grapes and Blake brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Just follow your questions on the sheet I gave you and you'll do fine." Ms. Montez said as she walked around and observed the groups.
"So you're Gabi?" Blake asked as he wrote on his paper.
"Yeah, and you're Blake Bolton." Gabi said as she wrote his name down on her paper.
"Yup." He said as he read the next question on the blue piece of paper to himself.
"Who's your hero and why?" Gabi asked him.
"My dad is my hero. When he puts his mind to something he goes out and gets it." He explained.
"Okay…" She said as she continued to write his answer on her paper.
"What's your favorite color?" Blake asked.
"Blue." Gabi answered.
"Don't tell me you like blue because of someone's eyes." Blake asked, mocking Ms. Montez.
Gabi looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"Blue is the color of the sky and water… so I like it." She explained.
"Okay, well, mine's blue too." He said with a smile.
"What is your favorite sport?" Gabi asked.
"Do you really have to ask?" Blake asked, but continued. "Basketball."
"I wonder why?" She said quietly as she wrote down his answer.
"What's your favorite sport?" He asked.
"I don't have one." She said honestly.
"Are you serious?"
"I never liked sports. I don't even know the difference between a basketball and a football."
"That's horrible." Blake said shaking his head.
"To you maybe, but I can live without sports." She answered.
Blake and Gabi continued to ask each other questions, and when they were done they started to write their essays. Gabi was lying on her stomach and Blake was leaning on his right elbow and he was facing Gabi. He took the opportunity to steal a few grapes from Gabi's bag when she was looking down at her paper and he put one in his mouth as he continued to write. When it was quiet and Gabi was almost done with her essay she felt something bounce off of her arm. A green grape fell onto her paper and she flicked it off so she could continue to write. She felt it again and she looked up to see Blake look away quickly.
"Can you not throw grapes at me?" She asked.
"Sorry, you looked so serious." He admitted.
"I'm thinking." She answered.
"Okay, sorry."
"That's fine."
"So why are you so quiet?" Blake asked as he lay down next to her.
"I'm not." She answered.
"This is the first time I've heard you talk this year." He said.
"Well, I guess you missed it when I said that speech in English yesterday."
"You said a speech? Was I sleeping?" He asked.
"No, I was joking." She said as she looked down at her paper.
"Oh." He said. "So what do you like to do?" He asked.
Gabi sighed, put her paper in her white binder, and closed it because she knew she wouldn't get anything done with Blake Bolton and his crystal blue eyes sitting next to her.
"Well, I liked being on the Scholastic Decathlon team, but, thanks to your basketball team, I can't do that anymore." She said slightly harshly.
"It's not my fault only three people signed up." He defended himself.
"I wish everything was back to how it used to be." She said.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I heard stories about East High from a long time ago. Everyone got along and everyone participated." She said.
"My dad went to East High and he was the one who changed how the status quo was." Blake informed her.
"Troy Bolton is your dad?" She asked.
"Yup." He said with a smile.
"I loved listening to the stories about this school. My friend's mom always told me about it." Gabi said with a smile.
"My dad told me about it, too. I thought he was crazy when he told me the basketball players dated the Scholastic Decathlon girls and the theatre performers dated the skaters and cooks."
"Yeah, it's surprising that Scholastic Decathlon girls date, huh?" She asked. Her voice was hard and surprised.
"I didn't mean it like that." Blake quickly added.
"Yeah…" Gabi said quietly.
"You know, my dad was in love with a girl on the Scholastic Decathlon team." He said nodding. "I forgot her name, but he used to tell me about her."
"Wasn't it Gabriella?" She asked.
"Yeah. Gabriella…" He remembered.
"Montez." They said at the same time.
They nodded and then stopped and thought about it for a minute. Gabi raised her eyebrow and Blake quickly looked at her.
"Ms. Montez!" They both whispered as they looked at each other. Their hearts were both pounding as they lay on the smooth grass.
"Yes?" They heard a voice say.
They both screamed unaware of anyone else at the time. They were in the middle of realizing the truth behind Ms. Montez and the sudden interruption by no other than her herself scared them.
"Um… nothing. We weren't talking about anything." Blake said with a quick smile.
"Okay… if you need anything you know where to find me." Ms. Montez said as she eyed them both suspiciously.
"Okay." Gabi said with a laugh that she completely faked.
As Blake and Gabi watched Ms. Montez walk off, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other again.
"She can't be." Gabi said quietly.
"I don't know. Maybe she is." Blake said back.
"I'll research her on the computer when I get home and see if I can find any information on Gabriella Montez." Gabi said as she searched her brain for anything that might give her a clue on who Ms. Montez really was.
"Okay, and I'll try to talk to my dad." Blake said nodding.
"Good idea." Gabi complemented.
"I can see why my dad fell in love with her. You know, if she is the real Gabriella Montez. She is pretty if you think about it." Blake said as he watched Ms. Montez explain something to C.
"Yeah, she is." Gabi agreed.
As Gabi looked at Blake, who was still looking at Ms. Montez, she couldn't help but want the same thing to happen between her and Blake that happened between Troy and Gabriella. Now all she needed was a karaoke machine and the courage to actually talk to Blake some other time other than in class. But for now she just watched him from the back of the classroom, wishing he would just turn around and smile at her.
Gabi's thoughts were interrupted by a huge rumble of thunder and a thin line of lightening that struck in the sky. Soft rain drops started to fall softly before getting faster and harder as the class ran back into East High. Summer was screaming because her hair was getting wet and C was mocking her as he screamed like a girl. Gabriella had her binder above her head, trying to keep the rain off of her and Blake opened the door for her as she ran inside.
Ms. Montez only laughed at the students as they came back into the class room wet and angry. She dismissed them from class and she shut the window that was open in her classroom. Small puddles of water were forming on the windowsill and they looked like clear pebbles dropped carelessly on the wooden ledge.
