"Why? Why do I have to go?"
"Because I am not having you staying here by yourself anymore. Not after what happened last time."
"Well ... Nothing bad happened last time."
"NOTHING BAD!!! Then how do you explain what happened to my trophy case or the achievement room?"
"I don't know."
"Of course you don't. This isn't the first time that has happened. You know what; just get out of my sight." Troy said very pissed and angry.

Flashback

Two days before, Troy had come home from being away on a so-called business trip. When he came home, he found that his house, his two hundred-thousand dollar house, was being swarmed by raging teenagers and party-goers. He then yelled "Okay Everybody out. NOW!!" . He spotted Brooke the out of the corner of his eye.

"So this is why you wanted me on a lot of business trips."
"I thought you were going to be gone for 3 more days."
"Just go to your room."

End of flashback

Troy had finally calmed down and went to his only friend that he had in Albuquerque.

"Hey Troy."
"Hey Zeke."
"Okay what happened now?"
"Let's just say that my house is ruined."
"How?"
"Brooke threw a party."
"Ok so what are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Everything is going to cost at least $500 to fix. I don't know what to do anymore. This is the 2nd time I caught her doing this."
"Well it's not only her fault Troy."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well look at it. She's at a different school, knows like maybe a few people. How else would she fit in? And then there's you Troy."
"Me?"
"Yes. Your only home almost every four months, maybe less. Sometimes for a couple of weeks here and there."
"Oh."
"Yeah. Anyways you'll never guess who's teaching at East now."
"Who?"
"Gabriella, Jason, Chad, & Ryan."
"Wow almost everyone is back."
"Look there is an open night at the school in 3 weeks. Maybe you should go to this one."
"Yeah I think I will."

3 weeks past and Brooke was in Biology working on a lab with her boyfriend, John.

"So what are you doing later on tonight?" he asked.
"I don't know. Nothing I guess."
"Do you want to do something?"
"Sure. Oh and my house can't be the party house for a couple of months."
"Why?"
"If there is one more party. I think I'm going to be sent to military school. The day after the party, he was so pissed I thought that I was going to be grounded for life."
"Wow that mad?"
"Yeah so tell your friends to stop throwing them at my place."
"Okay."

The bell then rang and everyone started to leave. Brooke was at her locker when John had come up and gave her a kiss on the lips.

"So whose house is it tonight? Mine or yours?" He asked
"Without a doubt yours."
"So around 4:30 -5 tonight?"
"Can't. Just remember that I got practice after school from 4 to 6. After that is fine."
"So 8 o'clock?"
"How about you pick me up at 6 and then we go do something after. The maybe back to my place." She asked him in a flirty tone. Also knowing what he would want to do.
"But what about your dad?"
"He won't be home. He's going to the open house tonight. So he won't be home until probably 9 or 10."
"Ahh well then sure thing sexy." He said giving her a kiss and started walking towards his next class. Brooke then went to her class. When she got there, her regular teacher wasn't there. But someone that she had seen/heard about before. She walked in, knowing that she was late but didn't care. The teacher then saw her.

"Yeah sorry I'm late. I was talking to a teacher."
"Ok name?"
"Brooke Bolton."
"Ok." She said while updating the attendance. "Ok. So my name is Mrs. Forte and I am going to be here for the rest of the year. So is there any questions?"
"What happened to Mr. Power?"
"He has taken an early retirement. Anymore questions?" She asked. No one answered and she went on to teach. The rest of the class went by slow. Mostly because they had to write an essay about themselves. The bell rang and everyone was relieved. Brooke then received a text saying that practice at The Rock was cancelled and was she ever to glad that it was. She then went to John's locker.

At John's locker

John was just getting the locker open. He then put his books in and got everything that he needed to take home. Brooke then came up and covers his eyes.

"Guess who."
"Hmm ... is it my super hot girlfriend? Oh I was right." He said turning around. "Why are you here? I thought that you had practice?"
"Nope. It got cancelled. So this afternoon, I'm all yours."
"Oh really? Well all I got to do is drop some stuff off at my house so do you want a ride?"
"Sure. Crap. I forgot something back in English. Meet you at your car?"
"Ok."

Brooke went back to the room she was just in. When she got there, she had seen that her new teacher hadn't left yet. She knocked on the door.

"Hi."
"Hey, umm I left something here. Can I get it?"
"Yeah sure."

She then went to her seat in the back and tries to find her phone. She looked and looked and still couldn't find it. She then asked Mrs. Forte.

"Have you seen a phone that was left here last period?"
"Is this it?"
"Yes, yes. Thank you. I would been so dead if I had last that."
"Your welcome."
"You look familiar. Did you go to East High like almost 20 years ago?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"No reason. Just that my dad talks about you a lot."
"Oh who is your dad?"
"Troy. Troy Bolton."

Mrs. Forte then started to think about what he was saying about her.

"What does he say about me?"
"He used to say things like so pretty and had dark brown chocolate eyes like chocolate chips. It was all he uses to talk about, one night all he would do was that he looks at old pictures and cry all night. It was sad really." She said. She checked the time and realized that she was there for ten minutes.

"I have to go."
"So is he coming tonight?"
"Yeah he is."

SO who is Mrs. Forte? I'll give you a hint. It's either Gabriella, Sharpay, or Amy .
