Gabriella took it but struggled by the weight but Troy had taken it back.

"Maybe I should keep it here and then after school I could bring it to your car."

"I would like that." Gabriella had said with a smile.

"Ok then after school I would meet you at your car." Said Troy as he put the box backing the locker.

"Ok thanks. I guess I'll see you then." She said with a smile and walked away. As soon as she passed Troy her smile faded. She knew the only reason she even let him take I to her car was to get 'close' to him.

Well she had no choice she needed to protect him from his dad. Since she already got close to Lizzie all she needed was Troy.

Gabby was walking down the hall, thinking about what else Greg could have done to them or anyone else. She was also deciding about going over to the Bolton's house since Fridays is when Greg leaves the house for some period of time. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by bumping into someone and knocked his books down.

"Oh I am sorry. I wasn't paying attention." She said helping him with his books.

"It's ok I wasn't paying attention either." The boy said as he reached for a book that Gabriella was reaching for too. Their hands touched. Gabby looked up at him then immediately pulled her hand away.

"Umm, you new here?" Gabby said since their was an awkward silence.

"Yeah. I'm Jack Traven." He said putting out his hand to greet her. Gabby shook his hand then he helped her up.

"Umm these should be yours." She said handing him the books back and he gradually took them.

"Thanks."

"So do you need me to show around? What's your next class?" she asked as she took her cell out because she received a txt.

Gabby which is ur car. Last time I knew u didn't have one. –troy.

It's a black range rover. Just got it a few days ago. –gabby.

She put her cell back in her purse and looked up at Jack.

"Someone named Darbus." He said looking at his list of teachers.

"Well lucky you. She's my homeroom too. Come on." She said as she started walking in which he followed.

A/N: I really don't have any ideas so I'm gonna skip ahead.

1 Month Later.

Gabby has gotten close to Jack and they are like good friends now. Troy has gotten worried about Gabby's safety when she's around Jack because lately he has gotten this feeling that he is only friends with her to do her some harm.

Lizzie has gotten resent meetings with Gabby. They have discovered a lot from the videos. Greg has been hiding a gun in the house. On the Fridays he goes out on, he would get to the stripper club or to a random ladies house and – you know. And a whole lot more.

2 weeks ago Sharpay entered the Talent show and is still singing the song she wrote. Oddly enough so has Troy but he won't tell what the name of the song is.

After school.

"Hey Gabs want to go shopping later? " Asked Sharpay.

"No sorry, Shar. I have to do some studying. Mrs. Martinez let me stay late after school in the library as long as I lock up and she has already left."

"Sis how long are you staying?"

"I don't know 3 4 5 hours."

"No. Go lock up the library. You are not staying alone until like at eight a clock here."

"James, plea—"

"James dude I'll stay with her. I need to do things to anyways." Stated Jack. Not that I have mentioned but James also doesn't have a good feeling about Jack either.

"No. Jack thanks but n—"

"Jay let them it will be fine." Said Troy trying to convince Jay to let them stay.

"Troy are you out of you—" Troy pulled him aside from the group and told him in hushed tone.

"Dude we will stay hidden and look over Gabby. I have a feeling he wants to do something."

"Fine but you better be right with this." Jay said as they walked back.

"Fine you can stay but call me in 2 hours."

"I will. Bye." She said as she walked off with Jack.

"Shar you have your car right?"

"Yeah honey. Why?"

"I need to do things with Troy so I won't be able to hang out today."

"It's fine. I'll go shopping Tay and Kels. Bye babe." She said as she kissed him.

"Bye Troy. " she said as she hugged him and he of course hugged back and planted a kiss on her head. Sharpay had left. The boys then parked their cars out on the street so Gabs and jack won't know that they are there. Then they met at the front of the school.

"Dude I hope your not having something going on between you and Shar."

"No dude. We are just friends, well more like bro and sis but don't worry." Troy said as they went over to the library window. Troy then went over to a log and told Jay to help him with it. They dragged it over to the window and stud on it to look over Gabriella.

With Gabby and Jack… Inside

"So what are studying for, Gabs?" He said looking for a book.

"Um world history. I have a test and I know it's gonna be supper hard." She said taking notes from a book.

"Oh yeah but I have that class for 3 period. Tell me how it went." He said as he sat down across the table from her and opened the book.

"Yeah I have it for 2 period. Lucky." She said resting her head on the table.

"Ahh you'll do fine. You are a very smart girl." He said placing his hand on her head.

"You think so?" she said bringing her head up.

"I know so." He said hold her hand with a smile. She took his hand with a smile.

"Thanks. You're a good friend."

With Sharpay and Taylor…At the mall.

"Tay, I don't think Jay had to do some bonding stuff with Troy." She said looking at a clothing rack.

"What do you mean?" She said on the other side of the same clothing rack.

"Like Gabby wanted to stay but Jay didn't let her. Then Troy pulls him aside and all of a sudden he says yes. I think – no I know they are up to something."

"Yeah and also it wouldn't be like James to just leave her alone with some stranger. I mean he isn't a stranger and all but James will trust a girl or a guy for this matter in at least a year. But James doesn't really like Jack – well for my prospective he doesn't." she said and started looking back the rack.

"I don't know let me call him." She said pulling her cell out and dialed a familiar number.

With Troy and James out side the library.

James cell suddenly started ringing.

"Oh shit."

"Dude answer it before they hear it." He said as he watched James get his phone.

"Hey, Honey." He has said in a whisper. Troy just had rolled his eyes to that comment.

"Hon, make sure Gab is ok?" she asked worried.

"Shar, what are you talking about?" he asked worried by the way she is talking. This made Troy turn around worried and curious.

"I know that you and Troy are looking over Gabi and I have the same feeling you do right now." James quickly looked back in the window to see Gabi writing in her notebook and Jack on the other side.

"So you don't trust Jack either huh?" he said sitting back down.

"Not one bit. He never really seemed nice. He always had that one smirk on his face when he hugs Gabriella good- bye or hello." She said crossing her arms on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah I see that too."

"Ok just be careful because who knows what he can do."

"Yeah no worries, babe. I'll be fine besides I have Troy with me. I won't be alone."

"Oh speaking of Troy. Let me speak with him. I need to tell him something."

"Sure. Hold on." He said as he passed to him. "Sharpay wants to talk to you."

"Ok, thanks." He said taking it from his best guy friend. James went up to the window as Troy stepped away so he can't be heard from the people inside.

"Hey Pay."

"Troy I know this is a hard thing for you to see Gabi in danger but trust me she will be ok."

"Yeah I know Pay but I don't trust this guy. Sometimes I know he is up to something, something bad."

"Yeah I have the same feeling. Ok I won't take to much time off you guys. Tell James that I will be checking up on you guys so put the phone on vibrate."

"Yeah I will bye Shar."

"Bye Troy" They both hanged up and Troy gave Jay his phone back.

"She said that she will be checking up so to put the phone on vibrate." He said with his eyes pasted on a beautiful Latina.

--

It' been almost 2 hours since Gabriella called James like she promised she would.

"Dude I think we should leave. Nothing happened and it's almost 15 minutes to when Gabi leaves. I don't want her to catch us." He said hopping of the log.

"Yeah your right." Troy said still looking at Gabi but didn't take long for them to leave.

With Sharpay and Taylor driving back home…

"Ok so like he was like she totally kissed him in the – " Taylor was just tell Sharpay a story when Shar got a phone call from a brunette Latina.

"Hello? Sharpay speaking." She said picking up the phone and driving with her free hand. Gabi didn't answer but you can here her in the background hysterically crying and begging for someone to stop and let her go.

Sharpay suddenly heard….

"Jack please don't hurt me. Just let me go, please!!" Said a crying Gabriella.

"No I want you for myself." A quick pause was made. "And only for myself."

"Oh god." Sharpay hung up the phone knowing her recent nightmare is coming true. "Tay call the boys to get their asses in the library."

"Which boy? What's going on?" she asked worriedly

"Which ever boy. I don't care. Just call one of them and no questions right now Gabriella is getting raped by that crazy bustard." She said as she sped up.
