Chapter 11
Wednesday March 1, 2006
Two weeks have gone by and I've never been happier. It feels like it's been a long time since Gabriella agreed to by my girlfriend. Chris is gone for good. After Mr. Matsui heard Chris admitting to raping Gabriella, he immediately expelled him from East High. Not only that but Chris is in juvenile hall for about six years.
Gabriella seems more happier than she's ever been. That makes me happy to see her smile. I can't stand to see my angel cry.
"Morning guys" Gabriella said as she and Taylor walked up to me and Chad.
"Morning girls" Chad said and went up to Taylor. He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her into a kiss.
"Those two can't keep their hands off of each other." I said and Gabriella nodded in agreement. "So how was your night?" I asked her.
"Good. And yours?"
"Could have been better"
"How?" I grinned and pulled her closer to me.
"You could have been with me" I said and kissed her.
"Same with me" she said. "I'll talk to you later okay?" I nodded and she walked to her seat. I watched her walk away, memorizing the way her hips moved.
"Hey Troy" Sharpay said, blocking my view of my girlfriend's ass.
"Hi" I said and tried to look around her.
"I missed you at the dance"
"I was suspended"
"Ooo for what?"
"Fighting"
"Fighting? Since when do you fight?"
"Sharpay...not to be rude or anything but you've been trying to go out with me since Freshman year. It's Junior year...it's not gonna happen. Besides I have a girlfriend"
"Who?"
"Gabriella Montez"
"You picked her over me"
"I would pick anyone over you" she gave a 'hmph' and walked away from me. I looked over at Gabriella and she gave me a confused look. I just shrugged and smiled. She smiled back and I sat down.

I sat in my Chemistry class, writing a note to leave in Gabriella's locker. It was the period before free period and I wanted her to meet me on the roof. The only thing is I didn't know how to say it. I guess plain and simple will work.
Gabi
Meet me at our spot.
Troy
Yeah that'll work. I folded it up and waited for the period to end. As soon as the bell rung, I quickly went to her locker and slipped the note through the slit at the top. Then I went to my locker, threw my stuff in, and quickly ran up to the garden to wait for her.
A few mintues later, she came running up the stairs and straight into my arms. I wrapped my arms around and kissed the top of her head.
"Hey babe I missed you"
"I missed you too." she said and looked up at me "It's so hard only having one class with you"
"Yeah but hey we're together now." she smiled and nodded.
"I wish it could stay like this. No interruptions, no classes just me and you."
"So do I" I said and leaned down to cover her lips with mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. I walked backwards until I felt the bench hitting the back of my legs. I slowly sat down, not breaking the kiss. She put her legs on either side of me so she was straddling me and we continued our make out session.
I rested my right hand on her thigh while my left hand went to rest on her ass. I squeezed it and she pulled away.
"Troy"
"I couldn't help it" she smirked and hit me playfully.
"Perv" she said and we went back to making out.
A few mintues later the bell rung and she groaned. She pulled away and looked at me. Her lips were swollen and she looked like she was in a daze. I pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled at her.
"We better get going before we're late" she said and stood up. I nodded and got up of the bench. I took her hand and we walked downstairs. I walked her to her locker and told her I would see her at lunch. After kissing her one last time, I walked to my locker and took out the books I needed. I sighed and walked to class.

At lunch I noticed Gabriella acting a little different than she was earlier. She seemed more fidgety and paranoid. She kept tapping her fingers on the table and looking around.
"Gabi?" I said and put my hand over hers.
"Huh?" she said and looked at me.
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Yeah you seem a little paranoid" Taylor said
"I'm fine...just fine" she said but I knew she was lying.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'll see you guys later I gotta do something" she got up and emptied her tray of untouched food into the garbage can. She walked out of the cafeteria still looking around.
"I'm gonna go find out what's wrong with her" I told Chad and Taylor and they nodded.
"Okay see ya" Chad said and I got up. I emptied my tray and followed Gabriella's footsteps out of the cafeteria.
I walked around the hallway, trying to find Gabriella but there was no sign of her. I went to her locker but she wasn't there. I ran a hand through my hair and walked further down the hall.
"Gabi" I called out but no one answered. I walked passed one of the girls' bathrooms and heard someone crying. I cautiously opened the door and saw Gabriella crouched in the corner, in tears. "Gabriella" I said and walked up to her. She lifted her head and I knelt beside her. "What's wrong?"
"He won't leave me alone"
"Who won't?"
"Chris"
"He's behind bars Gabi. He can't hurt you" she shook her head.
"No. He can" she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to me.
I realized it was a note and I read it. Chris' neat handwriting caught my attention.
Gabriella
I know that you and Troy are together. I can see everything you do. When you sleep, when you wake up, even when you're with him. You will pay for telling him. I will make sure of it. Watch your back Gabriella cause I will strike when you least expect it.
Chris
"That bastard" I said and crumpled up the paper.
"He won't leave me alone. He's gonna kill me." I put my fingers under her chin and made her look at me.
"No he won't. I promised I wouldn't let him hurt you and, goddamn it, I'm not gonna let him. That asshole will not touch you." she lunged at me and clung to my neck. She buried her head in the crook of my neck and cried. I held her and caressed her back, trying to get her to calm down. I had to make sure Chris would not hurt her.
It was at this point in time that I realized why I was still alive. I was here for her. She was the reason why my life didn't end those three years ago. This is was what I had to do first. I had to save her.
