"Why don't you go to East High anymore?" Gabriella asked Matthew as she sat on the sofa in the lounge area.
"We all go to West High." he replied flicking through the channels on the TV.
"Haha, I still go to East High." Gabriella boasted happily in a sing song voice.
"No you don't." Matthew laughed.
"Uhh yeah i do, my mom said so." Gabriella corrected him.
"Your mom has nothing to do with you anymore that's why your here." Matthew told her.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"This place only takes people that aren't wanted, they don't take people in and take special actions for them."
"Wait, so this is like for people that want re homed like adopted?" She asked back sadly.
"Yeah, i thought you knew."
Gabriella looked shocked then stormed out the room and strutted past the front door stopping when it opened, with non other than Pauline entering.
"YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Gabriella screamed as Pauline had barely shut the door.
"Gabriella i think we have more important things to talk about like this." she said holding up the skirt Gabriella was wearing the night before.
"You don't know that's mine." she protested against it.
Pauline pulled out a fake ID from the pocket of the skirt, the card had a picture of Gabriella on with the date up birth on it adding up to now make her 22.
"Now is it yours?" Pauline asked her glaring at her and with no response from Gabriella she continued "You are grounded for one week and it will increase."
"You have no right to tell me what to do." she complained.
"Yes i do, you are here therefore, me Troy, Kieran and Anna are your guardians."
"I don't need a guardian, i proved that, i lived by myself for 6 month."
"And look where you ended up."
That was it. That was above a joke no one spoke to Gabriella that way, it was offensive. So the young girl barged past Pauline in her tracksuit bottoms and vest top. Once out the door she ran straight out of sight. She didn't know where she was going but it was far away from there. She felt like nobody wanted her, her sister left, her mom left and her dad left the same way. She was walking like a young child that was left in a park alone, unwanted, unnoticed, unlucky. All she wanted to do was lie in Troy's arms, cry into his chest, feel like the world was never going to end. But at this moment in time she was walking down a alley way, she didn't know where she went, her eyes were filled with tears as she was walking so god knows where she would turn next.
Surprisingly that next turn was into none other than Miss Sharpay Evans.
"Gabriella?" She asked as the person she was talking to had her head facing downwards "Honey what's wrong?" she asked once she realised it was indeed Gabriella and she was crying.
"She basically called me useless." she sobbed hugging herself as she was only wearing a vest top and was extremely cold.
"C'mon we'll go back the other way and go all the way to my house, I'm wearing two coats you can have one. Be a nice walk." Sharpay comforted her kindly.
At the Care Home...
"I shouldn't have said that, oh my god i hate myself for that." Pauline cursed herself.
"Hey its Gabriella Montez, she'll be back." Troy reassured the three worried figures in the office.
"How do you know that?" Anna asked him. Anna was quite young, about twenty-five. She took care of herself a lot and was very pretty. She was just a normal size, she wasn't skinny or fat, she was normal. With shimmering black hair and great fashion sense.
"I know Gabriella Montez, she can't live without her phone and considering she ran out in what she was wearing her phone is on the kitchen table." he smirked letting them know Gabriella was fine.
"But god knows what could happen to her out there, she ran out in a vest top and tracksuit pants with just sandals. She'll freeze to death."
"Well you can either send a search party that will take four to find her which means leaving the others by there selves or you can wait for her to come back." Troy said giving them options.
"You seem to know a lot about her." Kieran queried, he was around the same age as Pauline early thirties at least. He was quite chubby but not too much and he was a great cook.
"She was a student at East High when i helped out there, i took a detention with her and Chad and the guys came in and she hit Chad."
"She hit Chad, no one hits Chad, especially a teenage girl." Anna said surprised
"I know that's what i said, it was amusing though." he laughed to himself
"I bet it was..." Anna carried on.
"Hello can we stay on subject please." Pauline croaked anxiously.
"Hey, if it makes you feel better I will go myself and look for her, there's no guarantee I'll find her but I'll try." he offered
"Okay, you go we'll stay." Pauline finished.
An hour later Troy was driving around the corner from East High, he'd been everywhere and still no sign of her until now.
There she was. All by herself walking towards the Care Home which was a staggering 2-3 hours walk away from East High. She had Sharpay's black cat hoodie on and the sandals she was wearing when she left were replaced with white converse sneakers that Troy assumed were also Sharpays.
"Hey Lulu." he smirked driving at the pace she walked.
"Go away!" She snarled and walked faster which Troy caught up to.
"Hey, if you get in now I won't take you back, we'll go somewhere first."
She stopped her feet from going any further and Troy had to do an emergency break to keep up with the stop. Then without a work she ran into the passenger seat of the car fastening her seatbelt quickly and folding her arms, looking out the window.
"Where you wanna go?" Troy asked wanting to please her.
"The field behind the mall where the shed is." she stated clearly and Troy started to move.
Eventually they arrived at the field and Gabriella climbed onto the window sell of the Shed and pushed herself up on top of the shed then from the shed to the roof of the mall.(I do it I climb from my room out my window on to my shed and onto my roof, its fun lol P)
Troy followed her and they sat on top of the mall.
They had only been there a matter of seconds and Gabriella leant her head on Troy's shoulder then scooted closer and cuddled him, her head snuggling into his chest.
"Kiss me." she breathed unbuttoning his shirt.
"No, babe, not here." he moaned and buttoned his top back up.
"You refuse me again. Yet you call me babe?" she asked confused.
"Listen, I wanna be with you Ella, but not for sex, yes eventually but not now. We need to figure it all out before we go there, one your underage to be with me, two I'm your care worker, three I used to be your teacher. You get it? Illegal."
"I bet you say different to Erin." she stated jealously clearly showing.
"Erin?" he said confused "I only speak to Erin when I'm fully on duty, Anna's her care worker, not me." he told her.
"She told me-" Gabriella started but was rudely cut of, but in a good way.
"She's a compulsive liar." Troy informed her "She did get adopted once but they brought her back because she was lying to much."
"Wow. Why lie?"
"You can talk." Troy chuckled.
"I don't lie about someone wanting to have sex with me."
"But do you lie to someone wanting to have sex with you?"
"But you said eventually but not know." Gabriella rein formed him.
"I wasn't in my right mind when i said that."
"You changed your mind in 3 minutes?" she asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, pretty much." he smirked.
"I love your smirk." Gabriella giggled
"I love your giggle." he replied back.
"I love you." they whispered in unison, both looking shocked afterwards. But obviously it blew over because they both leant in towards each other and there lips just barely touched. That little connection made everlasting sparks fly through there veins and pop them. Those sparks made it even better, so they leaned in further and kissed, you wouldn't call it passionately or tenderly or lovingly. It was more hungry at that point. Well it's to be expected isn't it? I mean after so long of being apart, they finally kiss.
Gabriella pulled back first, obviously her little lungs couldn't take no air for much longer. She broke away slowly and smirked to herself before jumping down onto the shed and off of it, then speeding off before Troy's eyes.
"Come and catch me!" she shouted as she ran away.
Troy smiled to himself and jumped down after her not running just walking round the corner at a steady pace. There she was leaning up against the wall waiting for him to come for her. Eventually he did and she blushed at the smile on his face.
"What's wrong Ella?" Troy smirked knowing she would blush harder.
She turned her whole body around so she was facing the wall as she was blushing beetroot red. That still didn't stop Troy Bolton from holding her, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and gently placed a kiss on her neck.
"You need to come back with me miss moody." Troy told her.
"Hard." she replied simply
"I know it is but you need to do it, and don't be sending signals to me back there or we'll get in really big trouble." he told her drawing shapes on her stomach lightly.
"Harder."
"C'mon Gabs it's alright just carry on as you were, ignore me, don't listen to me and go in strops all the time."
"Easy." she giggled but her face soon turned back to upset mode "Hardest, acting normal around you, i love you i can't."
"You have to now c'mon." he told her and took her hand and pulled her along to the car.
It took 45 minutes to get from the East of Albuquerque to the West and the drive was silent. Not one word was spoken between the two. When they pulled up outside the care home Gabriella took in mind what Troy had said about acting normal and she strutted in in a mood. Part of it was real part wasn't. The real part was because she had to attend West High and while she'd attended East High she'd made a lot of enemies in West High.
"There you are Gabriella, thank goodness." Pauline said as Gabriella walked in the door followed a few seconds later by Troy.
"Get lost." she hissed and went up the stairs to her room.
Once Gabriella was well out of sight Pauline spoke again "Do you think i should leave the party thing until tomorrow?" she asked Troy.
"Yeah i think so." he advised her.
"Thank you." she replied to his advice.
A few hours later Gabriella emerged from her room. She was listening to her ipod as she danced her way down the stairs in her Betty Boop short legged pyjamas and slippers. She was listening to Up by The Saturdays, she was addicted to that song in this very moment in time. She didn't know why, it was just catchy to say the least.
This Is The Crossing At The Main Intersection,
Up Is Where We Go From Here,
Finest Selection,
This Could Take Us Anywhere,
I Don't Want Protection,
Life Is Better Off The Line
And to be completely honest it described her thoughts a little. She did think Life was better off the line, where you could be free and wild instead of obedient and ruley.
Cuz I'm Ready For The Big Jump, Keep Up With Me,
If You Lose Me Then You Know, You're Just A Bit Too Slow
That was defiantly her. If a guy couldn't keep up with her then they were gone, but it seemed to her only Troy could keep up with her expectations. He always knew what to say and do to make her smile.
She twirled and carried on dancing her way to the lounge where everyone seemed to be located watching a program about an 8 year old anorexic. (Ok I'm in England and totally watched that, i though it was shocking how an 8 year old can hate them selves that much to become anorexic i mean I'm 14 and don't think like that it was shocking.) She tip toed in and saw a whole load of people watching it, silently. How can they do that? Don't they ever talk during a TV show.
"Hi Gabs, come and sit here." Matthew said not taking his eyes away from the television while patting a space beside him which was also beside Troy. She happily but cautiously sat down, the show was only 8 minutes in and everyone was glued to it. That was the perfect opportunity for Gabriella and Troy.
They sneakily laced hands in between there bodies, Gabriella's hand searched Troy's and played with his fingers softly in slow motion.
Eventually the show finished and /troy and Gabriella were acting normal again. Troy was watching the TV still at the advertisements and Gabriella's head was leaning on Matthews shoulder, they were like best friends so it was acceptable.
"Okay, everyone to bed now." Pauline ordered everyone, some let out moans because they didn't want to go to bed. But some did as they were told and went up to bed.
"Goodnight." Gabriella said and walked out, her hips shaking as she went. Troy stared at her as she swayed out, it made him go soft. All he could think of was her and her great personality, kisses, cuddles, voice, and so much more. She was just so indescribable.
Ok hope you like it lol...
