Gabriella looked out the window of her car, hurry up hurry up hurry up! She said in her mind to the go girl as she saw Troy running towards her car. Fucking say GO!!
"Go!" the go girl said and Gabriella moved the gear stick and slammed her foot down on the accelerator and saw Troy's concerned face disappear.
Gabriella came up to a sharp corner and her vision all of a sudden came blurry. She blinked and she could see a bit better but saw she was headed straight for a building. She gasped and slammed on the brake and yanked up the handbrake, turned the wheel and skidded around the corner just missing the fence, but she felt the back of her car clip the fence. Sammy won't be pleased she said considering she wasn't driving her own car. The race was neck and neck pretty much the whole time.
Troy and Sammy ran to the finish lane on the other side of the car park. Troy waited anxiously, he felt ill and his heart was racing a thousand miles an hour, go I hope she's okay he thought. No one saw the cars for another 5 minutes at least. But Troy stood upright as he heard an engine, he saw Gabriella skid around the corner in front of her opposition and he relaxed. His heart pace slowed down and a smile formed on his face. But all of a sudden that smile disappeared. "No" he whispered.
Gabriella began to feel light headed again. "Holy shit" she said when her vision became even more blurry and she swore when she was seeing double. She felt the car hit the wall on the side and looked over and saw sparks flying next to her, she gasped and turned the wheel away from the wall only to realize she turned the wheel to sharp. She couldn't move her hands or her feet, she couldn't breath or see properly as she felt the car fly in the air. She let go of the wheel when she felt the blood rushing to her head. Gabriella felt as if her stomach dropped when she realized the car flipping and hitting the ground each flip. She felt her head hit the roof and the liquid dripped down her face, the feeling of everything disappeared when Gabriella's eyes closed and her body went limp.
Troy bolted to Sammy's car which was still skidding and now lying on the road, banged up, upside down.
"We have to get her out of there! Get her out!!" Sammy yelled. Troy ran up to the car and dropped down to the window to see an unconscious Gabriella held upside down by the sturdy seatbelt. He clicked the two buttons of the seatbelt and grabbed Gabriella as she slid out of the seat. He grabbed her upper body and got her out of the car. He carried her to the other side of the road, away from the car which could still be dangerous. He cradled her head in his hands and put his hand on her cheek moving her hair away from the nasty gash that was on her forehead.
"Gabriella" he said shaking her body slightly. He felt her pulse which was still going making him relax, but still, she was unconscious god dammit! "C'mon baby wake up" he whispered as he put his head down level with hers. "Wake up" he said louder. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Gabriella can you hear me? Gabriella if you can hear me squeeze my hand" he said. He couldn't feel anything on his hand, she couldn't hear him. He picked her up under her back and under her knees and quickly carried her to the underground car park. "Is there anywhere in there? Seats? Couches? Anything!?" he yelled.
"Yeah give her to me" Sammy said and Troy was reluctant. "Troy give her to me!" he said and Troy obliged and gave her to Sammy who took her to a room which was like an office where stuff was organized. He lay her down on the coach with Troy following her close behind. "Thought you didn't care boy" Sammy said looking at Troy who was also kneeling down next to Sammy.
"I fucking like her. A lot" he said. "C'mon Gabriella" he said stroking her cheek.
"Stay here with her" he said.
"Man what are we going to do dude? We can't get any medical shit down here" Troy said.
"No need to worry we have a paramedic racer down here" Sammy said as he went to go and get him. Troy waited for a few minutes and saw a man come in with some equipment to see what was going on with Gabriella. He fixed up her gash with a gauze and worked on some other few things.
"This girl needs to stay here, she's just unconscious, she won't be racing for a while. Make sure she doesn't race you got it?" he said and Troy nodded and thanked him for helping her. "You or Sammy can stay with her" he said.
It was decided that Troy stay with Gabriella because Sammy had some other things to take care of but would pop in every now and then to see how she would be going.
Troy was looking at the floor with his arms resting on his knees waiting for Gabriella to wake up. Troy heard Gabriella move and his head shot up looking at her. He moved from his seat down to his knees and stroked her face. "Gabriella?" he whispered. He saw her eyes slowly flutter open and see him. She screamed and put her hand to her head where she hit it and had a quick flashback of smacking her head on the window breaking it and flying through the air. She began panicking and shaking. "Gabriella, calm down" Troy said putting his hands on her arms trying to settle her down.
"Sammy's going to kill me" she said. "I wrecked his car!" she said, tears seeping through her eyes.
"Gabriella, don't worry about Sammy. He's fine with it. He just cares about you…and so do I" Troy added.
"I have to get up" she said trying to get off the couch.
"No, you're staying here"
"Tr-"
"Gabriella you were in a horrifying car accident for god's sake"
"Thank god for that" she said.
"Thank god?" Troy asked confused.
"Yeah, if I lost without getting in an accident I would have lost 1000 bucks but since I got knocked unconscious in an accident the race doesn't count for anything"
"What if you get in a crash and don't get knocked out"
"You lose your money, or your car, depending on what kind of race and what you're racing for" Gabriella replied and Troy nodded. "Looks like I'm going to be going to school with a massive scar on my face" she said slouching her shoulders.
"Just say you got in a heated…fight with Bolton" Troy said smirking.
"Okay. And I'll just say you hit me, that will give you a great reputation" Gabriella said smiling back at him.
"Ok no don't say that then"
"Don't worry I won't. I'll come up with something" she said back.

That night, Troy drove Gabriella home in his car. "Geez it seems like we're going 5 kilometers an hour after you race"
"Yeah pretty much"

The next day, Gabriella got some looks obviously from people with a bandage on her forehead. It was slightly embarrassing.
"Oh my god Gabriella! What on earth happened?!" Taylor said running towards Gabriella.
"Oh, I uh fell down the stairs and hit my head on the banister. Hurt pretty bad" Gabriella said laughing.
"Geez is it going to be okay??" Taylor asked, worry still evident in her eyes.
"yeah I just have to change the bandage once a day" Gabriella replied and Taylor nodded.
The two girls walked to homeroom and Gabriella wasn't looking forward to explaining the deal of the bandage on her head to Troy's friends.
"Geez Montez what happened there?" Chad asked, "knocked yourself out somehow? If I were you I certainly would want to" Chad added. Gabriella just looked at the floor then back at Troy.
"I fell down the stairs" Gabriella said and Chad rolled his eyes.
"Of course you did" he said and went back to talking with his friends. Gabriella sat in homeroom with her head in her hands the whole time, with Troy Bolton watching her every move and trying to refrain from running up and crashing his lips down on hers.

Gabriella looked at her watch and noticed the time (obviously) and decided she should go and change her bandage. It was probably wise to do it now because everyone was at lunch. She walked in a classroom which had some random mirror in it to change her bandage. She dumped her bag on the desk and sighed as she pulled out the new guaze.
"I new I had to see you some time today"
"AHH!!" Gabriella screamed and dropped the bandages and tape as she turned around coming face to face with Troy. "You scared the shit out of me!!" she said.
"I seem to be good at that" he said smirking and Gabriella rolled her eyes as she bent down to pick up the stuff for her head. She put it all down on the desk getting everything out of packet furiously wanting to get it over with, but Troy put his hands on her wrists and stopped her. "Let me do it" he said and Gabriella shook her head. "You know I will not stop bugging you until you let me do it" he said.
"Fine" Gabriella replied and sat down on the desk. She jumped when she felt Troy's fingers touch her forehead. They were so gentle and so calm and Gabriella didn't want him to stop. She closed her eyes and moved her head slightly under his touch and Troy smiled at her. Gabriella winced when Troy slowly pulled off the bandage.
"Sorry" he whispered. He took the bandage out of Gabriella's hand and their fingers brushed not going unnoticed by either of them. Gabriella closed her eyes again as Troy finished with the bandage. "All done" he said and Gabriella didn't' want it to be over. She kept her eyes closed and sighed in disappointment. But that disappointment diminished when she felt Troy run his fingers down her cheeks. She moved her face so it was basically resting in Troy's palm. Troy softly put his hands on her cheeks and leaned down and gave her a small kiss on the lips. He moved his fingers and ran them through her hair as he barely kissed her neck. He ran his hands down her back and ran them back up but under her shirt. "Not wearing your sexy midriff top today?" he said looking in her eyes grinning.
"Not today" she said. "But look at this" Gabriella said as she rummaged through her bag pulling out some clothes and heels. "I have to get changed here at East High into these clothes and make my way to the club, don't ask me why" she said dropping the clothes on the table.
"Well well well Montez" Troy said holding up the outfit.
"Back to the last name basis are we Bolton?" Gabriella replied.
"Sorry Gabriella" he replied and they both chuckled.
"Do you like me Troy?" Gabriella asked. Troy almost stepped back from shock of the question.
"Do I like you?" he asked as if saying 'are you crazy??'
"Yeah. I mean, do you like me or are you just using me for like…kissing and action or whatever" Gabriella said looking at the ground. Troy stepped towards her and took her face in his hands again.
"Gabriella. I like you a lot, I'm not using you at all. I've kissed you because I like you. A lot. Very much" he said bending down to her level. He saw Gabriella give a small smile.
"Good" she said. "Because I like you a lot too" she added and they shared a sweet kiss and made their way to class after the bell rang. "Wish me luck with the clothes"
"Good luck with the clothes" Troy said and they both went off to their separate classes.

It was 5.30pm and Gabriella was certain that she could get out the front to meet Sammy without being seen. He said he would be at East High at 5.45pm sharp and he always stuck to his word so Gabriella would rush out there and get in the car without being seen, no worries.
She slipped on a cardigan over her tiny top and unfortunately didn't have any pants to put over her tiny skirt so she had to hurry.

Meanwhile, the boys were at basketball practice about to finish in about I'd say 34 seconds. They made their ways to their lockers to get their books for homework that almost never gets done. Eventually everyone quietened down because they could all hear tapping on the floor, it sounded like…high heels. Troy's heart stopped, oh shit. He knew it would have to be Gabriella.
Gabriella was walking as fast as she could in the heels (which wasn't very fast at all) to meet Sammy out the front. She was trying to find some lipstick in her bag but dropped it and her cardigan which wasn't on properly fell off. "Shoot" she said and picked it up off the ground.
Before Troy could do or say anything to get them to turn around or stop or something, they turned the corner and came face to face with Gabriella wearing…almost nothing. Chad's jaw dropped to the ground, followed by everyone else's jaws dropping and Troy pulling at the collar of his shirt.
I'm fucked.
There you have it. I know this chapter was a bit boring but it's going to get better and more drama too!
