Author's Note: Here's a new chapter. Not the best…but I couldn't think of what else to write for their next class. You can expect better for their PE class. R&R please…I haven't been receiving much lately… :) Always, schoolgirl101
Chapter 38- Supposed World Geography
The gang walked into the World Geography classroom expecting to see the old haired teacher Mrs. Harris. They saw the exact opposite.
"Do we have a sub?" Sharpay asked as they filed into the classroom.
"Afternoon students. I'm Ms. Sharon." a brown haired and brown eyed young teacher said.
The gang nodded at Ms. Sharon.
"From what I heard from your principal...your teacher thought that there was no classes today. I'm guessing because of the long field trip your grade took today. None the less, there are no assignments to give out today, I couldn't find any.
Chad smiled widely. "So...what does that mean we can do?"
"Well, I guess you guys have a free period." Ms. Sharon said smiling.
The gang exchanged grins.
"Let me just take attendance first. I need to make sure everyone is accounted for." she said taking out the attendance sheet.
Taylor nodded as everyone began to recite their names to the substitute.
"Jason Cross."
"Zeke Baylor."
This continued until the last name came up. "Gabriella Montez."
The substitute teacher looked up. "So you're Gabriella Montez."
Gabriella nodded.
"Well, I got a note from your principal saying since this is a free period, Gabriella Montez and friends meet in his office."
"Oh." Gabriella said knowing why Mr. Matsui wanted to talk to them about.
"Yeah...sorry. I guess you're not going to be getting a free period."
The gang nodded understandingly and began walking towards the principal's office.
"For a second there...I thought we were actually going to be getting a free period." Chad remarked sadly.
"I'm sorry Chad...I didn't mean to ruin your day." Gabriella said softly.
"Nah...don't worry about it. If this means getting Jake Davis here expelled, then I'm all for it." Chad said.
"Thanks Chad."
"No problem Gabriella."
The eight students began walking over to Mr. Matsui's office and stopped when they reached the door.
"You going in first Gabi?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella intently.
"Yeah...I guess." Gabriella said softly opening up the door.
"Ah...Ms. Montez. And friends. Wonderful seeing you all again. I just finished my run in with Mr. Davis. You can all come in." Mr. Matsui said welcoming them in.
The gang walked in slowly taking seats in the plastic chairs found in the room.
"Sorry for the inconvenience. I know I scheduled after school, but I was worried you all had plans." Mr. Matsui announced.
"No...no...this is perfect." Gabriella smiled.
"Okay...well...Ms. Montez...let's start with you." Mr. Matsui said getting up from his seat and walking over to Gabriella. "I want you to tell the truth, and in much detail as possible." Mr. Matsui said slowly. "Understand?"
Gabriella nodded. "Crystal."
"Okay...good. Now...can you tell me exactly if Mr. Davis ever hurt you in any way...and how?"
Gabriella looked up and nodded slowly.
Troy looked at Gabriella and squeezed her hand.
Gabriella smiled at Troy. "Um…..he did hurt me. I was going to the gym...to find Troy...and I saw Jake in the hallway. I noticed he was checking out our cheerleading practice before the run in...once I saw him...he came up and started talking to me for a bit...um..."
"Go on."
"Well, he called me a hottie, and I guess I spoke out of line to him telling him not to call me that. I decided to walk home...turning in the other direction. Jake...said he would take me home. I told him not on my life." Gabriella said softly.
"You're doing great Ms. Montez. Please continue."
"Well, he touched my arm, and I was surprised and threw myself into the locker by mistake. I was in pain, and he then wanted to see my arm because it was hurting me. He grabbed my arm...and I screamed in pain loudly. Then he slapped me. I guess it was because I was loud….. "
Mr. Matsui nodded. "Is that all Ms. Montez? Do you have anything else worth of importance to share?"
"He threatened to hurt my friends." Gabriella spoke in a voice barely audible.
Sharpay, Kelsi, and Taylor looked wide-eyed at Gabriella
"What do you mean Ms. Montez?" Mr. Matsui said leaning forward.
"I wouldn't give in to his names and rides home, so he said I better behave...or else things could happen to my friends. He knew what they looked like, and said that they would just be...just be..."
"Yes, Ms. Montez?" Mr. Matsui said softly.
Gabriella looked at Troy who squeezed her hand for support. "More virgins to add to his collection." she whispered.
"I see Ms. Montez." Mr. Matsui said softly once more. "And the second run in with Mr. Davis I presume was in the hallway today?"
Gabriella nodded.
"Well, that is all I need from you. I'm guessing you ended up in the hospital because of pain and shock?"
Gabriella nodded once more.
"That is fine Ms. Montez. I can speak to your friends now."
"Thank you Principal Matsui." Gabriella said softly.
"No Ms. Montez. Thank you."
The period had ended right before Jason had finished speaking.
"Well, you are all free to go. Thank you...once I get through this with administrators, I assure you Mr. Davis will be facing serious consequences." Mr. Matsui said. "This wasn't his first infraction."
Gabriella eyes widened. "Thank you Principal Matsui."
"Anything for our students here at East High. You may all leave now."
The gang nodded and walked out of the principal's office.
"Gabriella," Taylor said softly looking at Gabriella.
"Yeah Tay?" Gabriella said looking at Taylor.
"You didn't have to...you know...defend us or anything. Why didn't you tell us this at lunch?" Taylor asked softly.
"I didn't want you guys to get all worked up about it. Please don't." Gabriella said softly.
"We won't." Kelsi replied gently.
"And Gabriella..." Sharpay said taking her friend's hand.
"Yeah?"
"You know we love you right?" Sharpay said coming up to Gabriella and pulling her in a hug.
"I know. I love all of you guys." Gabriella softly smiled pulling everyone into a group hug.
East High has never seen a better friendship.
