Thanks for all the reviews everyone! I tried to update ASAP. Well… here's chapter 2.
Chap. 2. Cat Fight
Troy was looking out the window in English class. It was his second week in school and Ashley hadn't gotten any better. She kept sending him suggestive looks that he tried to ignore but it was kind of hard when she sat in front of him in almost every class. She would put notes on his desk, which he wouldn't read, wink at him, and through her hair over her shoulder so that it hit his face. He couldn't take it!
Gabriella's life was not much easier. Everywhere she would go Katie would be there, making her life a living hell. Always bringing up experiences they had in grade school, none of them ever good on Gabriella's behalf. She even found her own little posse now. The cheerleaders. They weren't too fond of Gabriella to begin with, but now it was horrible.
HSMHSMHSMHSMHSM
"Okay that's good for today. Hit the showers!" Troy and Chad were in the gym for basketball practice, which just ended.
A bunch of cheerleaders walked into the gym. Chad looked scared. "Oh no! Cheerleading try-outs!"
Among the bunch of cheerleaders Troy saw Ashley and Katie. He tried to get out of the gym, but to late, she spotted him. "Troysie!" Troy turned around and saw, much to his dislike, Ashley coming towards him. "Oh my God! I so forgot you had practice today! Will you watch me try-out for the squad? You know, be my good luck charm?"
"Well I was supposed to meet-"
"Great!" she grabbed his hand and started dragging him towards the stands.
Christy, head cheerleader, stood up in front of everyone and blew her whistle for their attention. "Okay people! We only have a few spots for the team and we have about thirty people trying out, so good luck to all!" she went back to her seat and looked at her clip board. "Gina Pansinara!" Troy sighed. This was going to take forever and he had to meet Gabriella in about five minutes. Troy looked at Ashley and saw her head turned the other way. Quickly and quietly he slipped out of the stands and into the boy's locker room. He showered and changed as quickly as possible. He ran to the café he was meeting Gabriella at.
"Hey Troy! Why are you so late?"
"Hey Gabby. Sorry. Ran into Ashley at cheerleading try-outs"
"You were at cheerleading try-outs?"
Troy blushed. "Well no… I mean yes… I was at basketball practice but when it ended there were cheerleading try-out's and in that bunch was Ashley and she tried to make me stay but I snuck out." Gabriella nodded her head understandingly.
They ordered their drinks to go. They walked around the park a few times finally stopping at the side of the lake. Troy sat down on the grass with his back leaning against a tree. Gabriella sat down and put her head on his shoulder. They sat in silence for a few minutes. Gabriella sighed. "The last two weeks have been hell. Good thing it's Friday."
Troy chuckled. "Yeah. Ashley won't leave me alone and won't get the hints that I don't like her."
"Well everywhere I go Katie's there and she always bringing up stuff from the past. I'm just so sick of it! She makes me so angry!"
Troy chuckled. "Maybe I should get her to hang around more often cause you look so cute when you're angry." Gabriella blushed.
They were lying peacefully under the tree when Chad and Taylor came up to them. Troy looked up at them and smiled. "Hey guys."
"Man I'd watch out. Ashley is telling everyone that you told her you would stay and cheer her on in cheerleading try-outs and than left her."
Forgetting Gabriella was on him, Troy sat up. "Ow! Troy!"
"Oh! Sorry Gab's." he helped her up and helped dust off her back and then turned back to Chad and Taylor. " I did NOT tell her that! She told me I was her good luck charm and dragged me over to the stands and told me to watch but I had to meet Gabby so I left."
Chad held his hands up as though someone was pointing a gun at him. "Hey man I'm just telling you what I heard."
Taylor looked at her watch and tugged Chad's hand. "Come on. We have to go."
Gabriella raised an eyebrow. "Have to go where?"
Chad smiled. "We've got a date."
Gabriella smiled. "Ooooooh! Where are you going?"
"Movies, dinner, my house for a little fun." Taylor slapped him on the arm. Chad threw his hands up in the air. "Why does everyone hit me? Do you guy's just like abusing me? Is that what entertains you?"
Taylor smiled. "It's not like you don't deserve it."
"Verbal abuse too! You people really know how to make a guy feel loved."
Troy smiled. "We'll leave that up to Taylor."
"Yeah well she's not giving me any love right now either." Taylor stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" he put his arm around Taylor's waist. "If you guys need one of us don't call until about twelve tomorrow. By that time I'll have an excuse for why I was trying to sneak a girl out my room." Taylor whacked his arm again. "And maybe even one for all the bruise's I've acquired." And with that they turned and left.
Gabriella sighed and leaned against Troy "I remember when those two hated each other. If you look at them now you would never know."
Troy chuckled. "Yeah. Hey, we should probably be getting home. It's getting late."
Gabriella looked out at the lake at the setting sun. "Yeah."

Troy walked into school on Monday morning to everybody staring at him and whispering behind his back. He walked over to Chad. "This has gone way to far."
"You're telling me. Now everyone thinks all basketball players are cruel, heart-less people."
"Troy Bolton!" Troy turned around to see a bunch of angry cheerleader's. Among them were Ashley and Katie. Katie had her arm around Ashley who was pretending to cry. Christy looked furious. "How could you do this to one of my cheerleader's! We're supposed to have Wildcat spirit! You can't tell Ashley that you're going to watch her try-out and then let that Gabriella girl talk you into leaving! Stand up to her! Be a man!" Troy opened his mouth to speak but Christy cut him off. "Now we'll forgive you this time, but next time think about the person you're hurting." Ashley gave a fake Sob and in an instant had everybody around her. They lead her away telling her it would be all right and to cheer up.
"I can't believe she would make a lie this big! She has taken this way to far! If she thinks she's gonna win me back this way then she is sadly mistaking!"
"Calm down man. You're only going to make this worse."
Just then everyone's gaze turned towards the door that had just opened. Gabriella came through with Taylor by her side looking furious. "What? Can't keep your eyes off two beautiful girls?" She walked over to Troy and Chad looking ready to kill. "I can't believe this! They blame Gabriella! They said she manipulated youinto leaving! You better keep that girl away from me otherwise I just might murder her!"
Chad put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. "Calm down before the steam starts rising out of your ears." Taylor sent him such a glare that he took his arm off her and backed off slowly. "Only trying to lighten the mood."
Just then Kelsi and Jason walked up. Kelsi looked like she was scared. "Watch out. Sharpay-"
"I can NOT believe her, and she's making us all suffer!" they saw Sharpay stomping towards them, Zeke and Ryan not far behind looking ready to grab her incase she did anything. Anyone who was in her path cleared it immediately. "Anyone who is associated with you guy's everyone else considers bad. Wait until I get my hand's on her." She made to leave but Ryan and Zeke were to fast and grabbed her. "Let me go! She deserves it!"
Troy almost laughed at the sight. Almost, but didn't. "Listen, I'll fix this, I promise. She thinks she can mess with me? Well she's wrong." Right at that moment the bell rang, so they all hurried off to class.

Troy was sitting in class thinking, 'geometry is so boring'. He didn't understand how Gabriella got this kind of stuff. All it did was make his brain hurt.
"Okay class. For homework you have pages 312 and 313 in your textbooks. Class dismissed."
Troy was heading to his locker when he saw a group of girls standing around the bulletin board and giggling. When they saw him they quickly left. He saw a flyer saying that homecoming was next Friday. He smiled from ear to ear and raced off to find Gabriella. He found her at her locker. He stopped and lent on the lockers while he gasped for air. "Homecoming… next Friday… you…me."
Gabriella smiled and kissed him. "Yes I'll go with you. Now come on. Let's go home."
As they were leaving they saw Sharpay and Ashley being escorted to the principals office with Zeke and Ryan not far behind. Sharpay had a bloody lip, various scratches on her arms, and was limping. Ashley had various cuts and bruises across her arms and legs, a black eye, and was crrying and holding her nose which you could see blood dripping from..
Troy walked up to Zeke and Ryan and stopped them. "What happened!"
Ryan launched into story. "Well we were leaving but when we got outside Ashley was there and she said something to Sharpay and before Zeke and I could grab her she attacked Ashley. Someone went and got the principal and now he's taking them to his office."
Gabriella and Troy just stood there, to stunned to move or talk. Finally Gabriella stuttered out, "S-she attacked her?"
Zeke nodded. "We were going to wait until she came out. Wanna come?" they nodded and headed off towards the principals office.
HSMHSMHSMHSMHSM
They had been waiting for two hours and in that time Sharpay's mom had come, Ashley's parents came, and they had heard a lot of yelling. Finally the door opened and Sharpay walked out with Mrs. Evens right behind her looking furious. She looked over at them. "Come on Ryan." Ryan, looking scared, got up and left, leaving Zeke, Gabriella, and Troy alone. Slowly they got up and left too.

Troy smiled as he closed the chat-room and signed off. He went over to his bed and flopped down on it letting out a sigh. At least Ashley got suspended along with Sharpay. He just didn't want to know what everybody was going to do to him and the rest of the group tomorrow. He had no idea.
