FYI: this is the next week let's say it's Tuesday. if needed i could start putting the day if you'd like.

Gonna stay in bed today
Cause I can't stand the light
Don't know why I get so down
I won't be much fun tonight
And I can't believe,
you still want to hang around,
me.

It's not so pretty all the time,
you don't mind,
to you, it's alright.

(Chorus)
As I am, is how you take me
never try to push or make me different,
when I talk you listen to me.
As I am is how you want me,
and
I know I found the piece thats missin' (missin')
I'm lookin' at him(him him him)

Monday night 11:15 p.m.

"Gabriella about time you got back. Where are the groceries?"

"Mom I have them right here." I wasn't in the mood tonight. My boss is an ass and all the guys at the resturant almost got kicked in the balls. I have a fucking headache and my stomach hurts really bad. Not in the mood is actually an understatment now that i think.

"Gabi thank you tons. You know this has been so hard since your father left." I nodded my head while going to the cabinet for an advil. I quickly took it and looked back at my mother who was putting everything away.

"I have a late meeting tomarrow so I'll need you home to make sure the babysitter gets here."

"Okay mom"

"Oh and Gaby."

"Yea mom"

"I saw your bill today. It's still high. Your credit card came too $500 for a purse Gabriella you have to save money. How will you ever learn if you don't start now?"

"Mom please dad said he'd pay this months bill, since I was with him when I bought the stuff." I said getting a little annoyed with her.

"Well why don't you go live with him and his girlfriend huh? Go live with them so you can be spoiled more."

"Mom stop it im not in the mood okay!?" I got a little too loud and Emily started to cry.

"See look what you did."

"What I did?!? I didn't do anything at all you started it!" She looked at me for a while shaking her head.

"You know what you deal with it, and let your father spoil you and hell why don't you just go and drop out of school. I try and keep you grounded but you keep getting him to do everything for you." she turned to leave but then turned back to me."I'm sorry Gaby, I'm just tired but just handle her for me I need some rest." with that she turned to leave.

and what I don't need rest?

I went upstairs and tried to quiet her but rocking and singing. i know my mom is just still recovering from my dad cheating on her and stuff. But she's just being so, so hormonal. I know she never means to get mad over little things but I think she's still confused about everything so I just leave it.

I stayed up with her for an hour then she finally went to sleep. thank god. I took a quick shower since I new tomarrow I wouldn't be able to well more like today.

I'm not the girl you think you see,
But maybe thats a lie
You almost told me better than,
Me, myself and I,
Don't know a lot of things, but I know what I got.
It's not so perfect everyday,
I don't have to try,
'cuz it all falls into place
(it all falls into place)

(chorus)
As I am, is how you take me
never try to push or make me different,
when I talk you listen to me.
As I am is how you want me,
and
I know I found the piece thats missin'
I'm lookin' at him

"Gabi! Gabi" I started to wake up to someone jumping on my bed. i opened my eyes to see John jumping on my bed fully clothed.

"What do you want?" i asked tiredly while wiping my eyes tring to wake up.

"Mom said to wake you up and since your already late for school to take me to school."

"Okay...Wait what time is it?!?" I looked around franticly for my phone or some type of clock.

"It's 8:15," He said simply getting off the bed.

"Shit!" I said while jumping out of the bed going to my closet. I grabbed some jeans a tank and a sweatshirt. I grabbed some nikes and then put my hair in a sloppy bun. I quickly applied mascara and eyelier. I grabbed my phone and bag and ran downstairs. I grabbed Johns hand and ran to the car.

I got John to school by 8: 45. I wasn't going to make it to homeroom before 9. By the time i got to school my head was like fucking pounding. It felt like someone was takeing a hammer and was just hitting my head. Actually I think that would feel better. I ran to the office and signed in. The secratary glared at me for while then finally gave me a tardy slip. I ran from there to my locker then to Darbus's room. I threw the door open, sure to everyone else it seemed dramatic.

"Well, Miss. Montez. So so nice of you to join us, late."

"I uh had to drop my brother off at school." I said avoiding her eyes.

"Oh, well take a seat pg 28." I nodded tiredly and went to my seat. I made sure I walked pass Troy on the way. When I got to my seat Mrs. Darbus started babbling about something that happend when she was our age. I started to feel my eyelids fall, and the next thing I know im out.

"Miss Montez!?!" Oh shit I did not fall asleep!

I casually lifted my head and looked at Mrs Darbus. i could feel everyones eyes on me but I didn't dare look at them.

"Yes"

"what was the year this poem was written?"

"1912"

"Correct but next time I would like it if you were actually awake the first time I asked."

"Sorry"


I was walking to lunch a little out of it. Sharpay and Taylor had to keep pinching me in class so I wouldn't fall asleep. I find it funny kind of but you know how it is-.

"Whoa!"

"Shhhhhhhh" I turned around to see Troy standing there smiling at me. I smiled back and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Hey." I said while walking to a desk and sitting on it." We have a thing for classrooms don't we?" He laughed and I soon joined.

"So what was up with sleeping today?" he said changing the subject.

"Oh I just had a weird night last night. Got into it kind of with my mom and then had to deal with Emily. Oh and I have this massive headache and my tummy hurt." i told him pouting when I said the last part.

"Awwh that sucks."

"Yea, but im good now so no need to pout." I told him walking over to where he was.

"Im not pouting because of that."

"Oh really. well what has you pouting?"

"I want a kiss." he looked down as though embarressed. i rolled my eyes and went as high as my toes would get me. he smiled and helped me the rest of the way.

After we made out a little, I felt more awake than i was this morning. My head hurt but like I care. I leaned against his strong chest and he wrapped his arms around my waist. If only he knew how the butterflies were in my stomach. i pulled away and looked at him.

"We should get to lunch,"

"Yea. One more kiss." I smiled and leaned and gave him a kiss.

"Who's going first?"

"Ladies first."

"Why thank-you dear sir." he rolled his eyes and I left the room smiling. I entered the lunchroom and headed to our table where Sharpay offered me some of her food. 7 minutes later Troy entered. when going to the table he gave me a quick wink and sat down.

God i hope we're getting obvious. I looked around at the girls but none seemed to notice.

Face to face,
eye to eye
your standin' there,
feels good on the inside

I don't mind
I don't care (care)
your standin' there (there)
seein' me for the first time(x3)

(chorus)
As I am, is how you take me
never try to push or make me different,
when I talk you listen to me.

As I am is how you want me,
and
I know I found the piece thats missin'
I'm lookin' at him

Found the peice that's missin'
take me as I am,

When I talk you listen
take me as I am,

Found the piece that's missin'
take me as I am.


Someones POV

"Did you see that?!"

"See what?"

"Troy just winked at her!"

"You have officially lost it."

"Im serious!"

"Uh huh"

"Just watch them closer."

"Ugh fine but it's a lost cause."

"It's not, i know it, I can feel it."

"Your weird."

"Maybe but I know a couple when I see them. Didn't you see her walk pass him in homeroom?"

"Yea so?"

"Her seat is nowhere near his. she went that way on purpose."

"You really don't want him to be with her."

"I just want the truth. Im sure the whole school does too."

"I think they're cute together and thats the truth. I have to get to the library see ya."

I'll figure it soon enough. Make Bolton see he should be with me, and not that Montez chick. So what if she's head cheerleader, she was a geek first. Once a geek always a geek. Besides my sisters always went with head basketball, football, and soccer players. I'm not breaking tradition just because of Montez. She gets spotlight I just hold her up in her pyramid.


okay so we know this mystery person is a cheerleader. but review review review review!!!!!
