Part 5

Next day at school

"Chad Danforth! If u dont get ur ass down here we're leaving without you!!!!" Sharpay screamed as the others covered their ears at her shrill voice. Grumbling could be heard as Chad went to them.

"I dun even wanna know what ur saying Danforth. Okays. Me, Ryan and Zeke will take one car and the rest of u will take the other one...And Im driving" exclaimed the blonde as she took the keys from Zeke's hands and getting into the driver's seat. Ryan shrugged as he and Zeke get in. "See you at school. If I'm still alive by then." he mumbled as the remaining three chuckled, knowing how fast Sharpay likes to drive.

Finally settling on who should drive, they finally get to school with no further incidents. Now as the six teens stood in front of the school, they wonder if they're making the right choice in coming here. Truth be told, they were kinda intimidated by how the students carry themselves which is full of confidence. Just as they were walking up the stairs, Troy was distracted by a motorcycle whizzing past with the pillion passenger looking at him. With the tinted cover of the helmet, he coulnd't see who it was but he could tell it was a girl by her hair. Shaking his head, he rush forward to catch up with the gang.

Gabriella took deep breaths as she got off her brother's bike. Seeing Troy straight in the face brought a rush of memories and try as she might, she cant stop her heart from beating wildy as she stared into his blue eyes. She had hoped it was her imagination but a call from her mom earlier in the morning had confirmed that it was indeed Troy she caught a glance off the day before. She was kinda confuse as to why they would sign up for a transfer programme when they're graduating this year. She was shaken out from her thought when Josh waved his hand in front of her.

"Come on now Gabs. Stop thinking about him and let's get to class." Gabriella glared at him before taking his hand and dragging him to school, stopping by occasionally to say hi to the people. She rolled her eyes at how students just get out of her way automatically. Stopping by her locker to get her English text, she sighed as she looked up at Josh.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Come on Josh. Ur staring. What is it?"

"Take care of yourself k. I'll meet u at lunch" he sighed as he kissed her cheek before moving off.

Gabriella rubbed her forehead in frustration before slamming her locker, smirking slightly when the girl two lockers down from hers jumped at the sound. Walking to her English class she scowled at everyone who backed off smartly. She went into her classroom nodding in acknowledgement at her teacher before stopping in her tracks as her she came face to face with her past. Or rather, pasts.

"Fuck." she swore under her breath as she saw the six people she hadnt laid eyes on in a year. She was hoping she wouldnt run into them.

Never in a million years would the gang imagined reuniting with Gabriella like this. They stared with eyes wide at her, taking in her black long sleeve top that ended midriff showing off her piercing and the butterfly tattoo on her hip with her black miniskirt and black boots. Their mouths dropped open when they saw the tattoo on her wrist when she pushed her fringe off her eyes, causing the sleeves to fall back. On any other person, the ensemble might look slutty but on Gabriella it spell 'HOT'.

"Miss Montez, language please." Mr Parker said as he stared at the petite girl. Expecting her to blush and apologize, the gang was astonished when she glared at the teacher and was even more surprised when said teacher coughed uncomfortably and cleared his throat as he avoided her glare. "Erm anyways, this are your new classmates. They transfered here from Alburqueque, New Mexico." Gabriella just smirked at the gang before walking to her seat revealing yet another tattoo to the gang as she walk past them.

Mr Parker then assigned them to their seat ignoring the groan he heard from the back as Gabriella banged her head on the table upon finding out Sharpay sat next to her.

Feeling Sharpay's stares, Gabriella glared at her startling the blonde when she saw how cold her eyes were. "Gabby.." "I dont wanna hear any words coming out from your mouth" she hissed as she continue taking notes. "Gabriella please..." Gabriella stared at Sharpay in surprise. 'Since when does she beg?' Gabby thought to herself. Sighing Gabby turned to the blonde. "Follow me after class. We'll talk then." Sharpay nodded happily. 'Please let things be ok.' she silently prayed to herself.

Gabriella spent the entire class resisting the urge to throw something when she feel the stares from the Wildcats. She knew they were studying her and its beginning to get on her nerves.

Ryan's POV

'Wow. She looks good.' I thought to myself as i look at Gabriella. I look around and just as suspected, Chad, Taylor and Troy were staring at her. Zeke was paying attention to the teacher. I look back at Gabriella and saw how she frowned, knowing the stared we're giving her is making her uncomfortable. I see my sister trying to talk to her and when she smiled happily, I know somehow she managed to convince Gabriella to talk to us. Before i know it, the bell rang and Gabby stood up indicating with her head for us to follow her.
