DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!

Troy's Point of View

I was sitting in Chemistry class, which I had with Chad, Zeke, and Jason. They were all talking, but I was too caught up in my own thoughts to listen. All I could think about was how upset Gabriella was, and how I was the partial cause of it. Why didn't I just stop them? I knew how important that necklace was to her, and I just stood there watching!

Chad, Zeke, and Jason all continued to talk to me, thinking I was listening. In reality, I didn't hear a word they said. I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts when the bell rang, singling for 6th period, which was gym. I loved gym. It was one of the only classes I'm good at.

Chad, Zeke, Jason, and I all started walking towards the gym. It was another class we all had together. We went into the locker rooms, got changed, and quickly made our way into the gym. I looked around when something caught my eye. Gabriella was in my gym class!

REGULAR POV

She was standing there in a pair of red gym shorts, and a white shirt that had Wildcats written in red. Standing next to her was Taylor McKessie, her new friend. They were laughing about something, but Troy could tell Gabriella was just putting on an act. He knew that wasn't her real laugh. He knew she was upset.

"Class!" a voice called, pulling Troy out of his thoughts. "We'll be playing soccer today. I'm going to be splitting you into two teams. Will you please all line up on the black line!" The gym teacher, Mr. Kline said.

The class scurried onto the black line, following the instructions

"Ok, on the first team we will have Zeke, Chad, Taylor, Caitlyn, Bridgette, and Brian. On the second team we will have Troy, Jason, Gabriella, Sharpay, Sam, and Mike." Mr. Kline announced.

The teenagers quickly got onto their sides of the fields, and waited for the coach to blow the whistle.

"Ready for the plan?" Jason asked with a sheepish smile.

"What pla-" Troy started, but was cut off when the teacher blew the whistle.

The class continued to play for another 10 minutes, and the score was 1-2 with Troy's team in the lead. He looked over at Chad who nodded his head and mouthed "you ready?"

Ready? Ready for what? Troy thought to himself.

Taylor was running down the field with the ball. Seeing that Chad was open, she passed the ball to him. He dribbled up so he was closer to Gabriella and stopped. Then, he stepped back an inch and swung his foot, kicking it with all his might.

"Hey Gabriella!" he screamed, making her look at him for a brief second before-

BAM. The ball hit her in the face. She stood there for a moment, not realizing what was going on. She went to take a step forward, but fell to the ground.

Jason, Zeke, and Chad all started cracking up, but Troy just stood here in pure amazement. He knew his friends hated West High, and everyone from it, but how could the stoop so low? She didn't do anything to them.

"Troy man, wasn't that great!" Chad exclaimed coming up to him.

"NO it wasn't great you dumbass! I can't believe you'd do that!" he said, running up to the circle that was now surrounding Gabriella, with Jason, Zeke, and Chad hot on his tail.

There she was, just laying on the ground not moving.

"Ok everyone back up!" The teacher yelled, gently shaking Gabriella to try to get her up.

"Mr. Danforth, since you are the one who hit Ms.Montez with the ball, will you carry her to the nurse please?" Mr. Kline asked.

"Are you kidding me? She's from West High. No way" Chad replied.

"MR. DANFORTH. I RECOMMEND YOU PICK MS.MOTEZ UP RIGHT NOW OR ELSE-" Mr.Kline started, but was cut off by a sudden voice

"I'll take her" Troy said.

"Dude. Troy. Montez is from West High, why the hell would you wanna help her?!" Jason exclaimed.

"Because unlike you guys, I'm gonna do the right thing." he simply stated.

"Well Thank you Mr. Bolton. " the teacher said. " Class, go ahead and get changed. Class will end early today due to the circumstances"

The rest of the class scurried into the locker rooms, leaving Troy and an unconscious Gabriella behind. He bent down the pick her up when she started to stir.

"Brie? Gabriella?" He gently said, trying to wake her up. After a moment, her eyes fluttered open.

"T-Troy?" she quietly asked. Troy nodded in reply.

"What happened?" she asked.

"You got hit with a soccer ball during gym. I was just about to carry you to the nurse" she said with a small smile.

"THE HELL YOU ARE!" she exclaimed, jumping off the ground but stumbling back down due the massive headache she had.

Troy put a hand on her back, trying to steady her, but she just smacked it off.

"Brie what's wrong?" he asked, even though he already knew.

"First of all, don't call me Brie anymore! You lost that privilege the moment you changed. And second of all, how dare you ask me what's wrong. First you tell me you'll always be there for me, and then you just ditch me! I had to eat lunch alone because of you and your lies! Then you let your jackass friends take my locket." She said. "You knew how much that locket meant to me Troy." she added, this time her voice was a bit quieter. "It was the only part of him I had left."

"Br-Gabriella. I-I'm sorry. Can't you just forgive me?" he asked, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Forgive you?! You actually want me to forgive you? I can't believe you ! When it's just you and me, you're so nice and sweet and caring, but then your friends come around and you turn into this huge asshole who thinks he can get whatever the hell his little heart desires! Well newsflash Bolton. I'm not the kind of girl who's going to forgive you just because you ask me to. And you know what? I'm not gonna be afraid of you and your basketball friends anymore because I'm tired of people like you thinking you can control and scare anyone you want!" She screamed, releasing all her anger. And boy did it feel good. "And you know what Troy. I don't even care anymore. I know your popularity is important to you, so go ahead and keep on torturing me. See if I give a damn"

Troy, taken aback from the sudden outburst, stood silent for a moment before recollecting his thoughts

"Gabriella! I said I was sorry." Troy said, mentally kicking himself for saying that. Unfortunately, it was the only thing he could think of.

"Yeah, Well sorry isn't good enough." She said, turning around and making her way to the door.

"W-Wait I'm s-supposed to take you to the nurse!" he exclaimed, running to catch up to her.

"I can find it myself" she said sharply, exiting through the door and leaving Troy alone in the gym.

A/N: So there you go! Pretty much a filler. I just wanted you guys to see it's not gonna be too easy for Gabriella to forgive Troy, and I wanted Gabriella to come out of her shell and speak her mind.
