Gabriella walked into school happily the next day, she couldn't believe how everyone was talking to her now and being nice to her. They never used to, they would just walk past her, ignoring her. Sure, she knew it was because they all found out her dad owns the biggest club for teenagers in Albercerque, she knew they were all using her, but she wasn't gonna tell them to all fuck off. She liked it, she liked being popular and plus it annoyed the hell outta Troy, Sharpay, Chad and the others.
As she walked down the corridor, Kelsi caught up to her and they started their walk together. The further they got into the school, the more people would say 'hi' or 'what's up?' to them, they never usually got all this, and it was from people on the Basketball team too. Wow Troy wouldn't be happy by this, it would be quite funny actually.
Gabriella thought about this, if Troy knew that one of his team mates was going out with his ex-best friend, his enemy, the geek of the school. What would he say? Well the look on his face would be enough to kill anyone who saw it. It would only be a joke on Troy, so what would be the harm? No-one would get hurt, well maybe Troy would, but Gabriella wouldn't mind that, it wouldn't even compare to all the hurt he had put her through, the past few years.
"Kels, what would you say if I decided to date a guy on the basketball team?" Gabriella asked Kelsi, as they carried on walking to their lockers.
"I would say to be careful because Troy would go crazy and you would end up getting hurt." Kelsi replied to her.
Gabriella knew Troy would go crazy, but she wouldn't get hurt, right? Because it's not exactly gonna be like she'll be in love with the guy, it'll just be a game. A Meaningless game, to get to Troy.
"Okay, well I'm thinking of starting to date one of them, to annoy Troy." Gabriella replied and grinned.
Kelsi couldn't believe this, her best friend Gabriella was plotting revenge on Troy Bolton? She was becoming more and more like her cousin Sharpay, then she knew and Kelsi wasn't liking this one bit. None of this could end up going right, it was all gonna end horribly wrong, and she knew Gabriella would end up getting hurt in the long run, Gabriella just didn't think she would yet and Kelsi had to stop that from happening.
"Gabi.. I think you should think about it, before you go all 'revenging on Troy mode', you could end up getting hurt and I don't want that." Kelsi replied, as Gabriella smiled and nodded her head.
"No don't worry Kels, I'm not gonna fall in love with this guy and it's just to get Troy back for everything he had done to me."
"Yeah, but Just be careful.. I don't like this whole 'plotting' thing on you Gab's you sound like your Cousin." She said to Gabriella.
"What? No I don't, Sharpay is an evil manipulating Bitch!" Gabriella insisted as they reached their lockers. Gabriella got her notebook out.
"Yeah I know Sharpay is all that shit, but if your just gonna date a guy from the basketball team, just to annoy Troy, then you're acting just like her. Remember last year, you liked that guy in Science club, he was pretty cute, Sharpay found out about it and started to date him just to annoy you." Kelsi replied, as Gabriella didn't look at her, she was just in deep thought thinking.
"But it's not Like Sharpay or Troy like one of them, is it?" She asked, as Kelsi groaned. This wasn't gonna be easy, couldn't Gabriella just stick to how it all was now, without hurting anyone.
"Gabi, think about this realistically, Sharpay Could Like the guy you choose, hell Troy even could and what if the guy falls for you? You're gonna end up hurting him, how bad is that gonna make you feel?"
"Kelsi, 1. Sharpay doesn't go for the sweaty guys on the basketball team, 2. Troy isn't gay and 3. I'll just tell the guy, that I don't want it to be really serious, just like a temporary thing." Gabriella replied.
"Okay, whatever you say, but if you ask me, I think it's a bad idea, ask Robert and Ryan too, see what they think about it and I guarantee they won't like it."
Gabriella thought for a few seconds, and decided she would talk to Ryan and Robert to see what they thought about, I mean it was kinda mean to use a guy like that just to annoy one of your enemies.
"Okay, I'll ask Them what they think about it, and if they think it's a good idea I'm doing it!" She said, as Kelsi sighed, knowing they wouldn't like the idea and the pair walked to homeroom.
As They were half way to homeroom, Robert and Ryan caught up with them, Gabriella wasn't gonna ask what they thought that very moment, but she would at lunch, much more convenient. They were about a 2 minute walk away from homeroom when they passed Troy's 'gang', they all glared at Gabriella evilly, but she just ignored them as one of the players on the basketball team came over to Gabriella.
"Hey Gabriella!" The guy said, he had short brown hair, to short for her liking actually, Green eyes and was quite fit, he had muscles you could see that, but he wasn't as good looking or as fit as Troy.
"Umm Hi?" Gabriella replied, more as a question, she didn't have a clue who this guy was, but she could tell he was on the basketball team, because he had one of the hoodies on. "Do I know you?" She asked him, Kelsi and Ryan had walked on, where as Robert stayed back and waited for Gabriella.
"No, but I just was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime? You know on a date?" He asked her, as gabriella heard a laugh coming from Troy's direction, she squinted her eyes in his direction and then turned back to the guy stood infront of her and smiled sweetly at him.
"Hmm, I'm kinda busy at the moment…" She started, and then heard Troy and Sharpay laugh so she decided differently, so what if she hadn't talked to Robert or Ryan yet? She could date a guy without asking for her friends opinion, it wasn't a crime was it? And This would prove to the Whore and Dick over there laughing, that she could score a date with a guy, and not a guy on the science club. This guy was a popular hottie on the basketball team and Sharpay and Troy will literally die when they hear, the conversation. "Well I guess, you could come to my dad's club, Friday night with me and then we can do something." She added, as she saw Sharpay glare at her, Why Was she glaring?? Did Sharpay like this guy?? But he was a sweaty basketball player, maybe she did like him?? Well that would just make this all the more interesting.
"Seriously?? You're Dad's Club???" The guy asked shocked. Why was he so shocked?? It was just a club, sure a very awesome club for teens but don't get a boner of it people.
"Uh huh, is that a problem??" She asked, and looked at him sceptically.
"Well, of course not, I've always wanted to get in there do you mind if some of my friends and their girl friends come too? We can make this a group date" He asked getting excited. God she said don't get a boner over it.
"Good, and sure that's fine, I'd like to get to know some more people around here.." She replied, and glanced at Sharpay and Troy who were still staring at her and then she looked at Robert who didn't look very impressed at all, who probably knew about her plan, just by how she was acting.. He was good at reading people like that.
"Great, oh by the way I'm Dylan." He told her, as she smiled and stuck her hand out.
"Nice to meet you Dylan, I'm looking forward to Friday night." She replied and shook his hand smiling at him.
"Yeah, so I'll meet you at the club, at 7:30, okay?" He asked, walking backwards.
"Yeah sure!" She called after him, as he ran off smiling.
Gabriella looked over at Troy and Sharpay who were both glaring at her, she smirked at them and was about to turn to Robert when Sharpay said something.
"Whore." Gabriella heard her mumble.
"What was that Shaneise?" She asked, emphasizing 'Shaneise'.
Sharpay glared at her even more harshly then she was already. "I said you're a whore, I mean c'mon going out with that guy, he so obviously only wants you for the club and you only want him so you can finally get your first time over and done with." She snapped at Gabriella, who looked over at Troy.
Troy just shifted on his heels, not even wanting to get involved with this part of the girls fight, he knew it would only end in hair pulling and slapping.
"For your information Sharpay, I already have had my first time!" Gabriella said, as Sharpay looked at her shocked. No way has she had her first time!!
"No fucking way, have you!!! You're a liar!!" She bellowed at her shocked, not really knowing what to believe.
"Yeah and I lost it.. Hmm like last year, yeah I was a Sophomore, 16 years of age!!!" Gabriella said back, as she saw Sharpay's eyes grow wide in shock, and Gabriella just smirked at her.
"Yeah right.." Sharpay mumbled under her breath.
"Is the most popular girl in school jealous of a geek?? I'm shocked!!" Gabriella said, making sure the whole corridor heard.
"Why would I be jealous of you???" Sharpay asked, even though she actually was.
"Because.. Because, I lost my V before you, I'm rising in popularity, grandma treats me better than you AND I used to Be Troy's best Friend!" She said, as sharpay glared at her already having a come back.
"Okay.. 1. So what?!?! Is that something to be proud of??? It just makes you sound like a slut, 2. People are only talking to you because they wanna get into that club!! They don't really like you gabriella, they're using you, get that into your skull already! 3. She only treats you better because she feels sorry for you, you never had any friends and got bullied, who wouldn't she?? And last of all, You USED to be his Best friend, news flash bitch, he hates you now, he frickin bullies you!!!!" She yelled at her cousin, who was now looking up at the blonde in 4 inch heels. "So why the hell would I be Jealous of a pathetic geek like you???" She asked glaring down at her, making her feel worthless.
Gabriella was almost crying, the tears were starting to pierce through her eyes and she knew she was gonna crack soon. "Anything you wanna say??" Gabriella asked Troy, as he looked at her sadly, he knew she was gonna cry, even Sharpay did it wasn't hard to tell.
"Not really." he mumbled quietly, as Gabriella stared at him blankly.
"Just Go Gabriella, go and cry, we know you all want too!!" Sharpay yelled at her, as Robert stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Gabriella and tried to pull her away.
"I will and leave me the fuck alone Robert!!" She yelled at him and turned around walking off, tears flooding down her cheeks. She ran into the toilets, locking the cubicle door she went in and sat on the toilet seat, letting the tears fall down freely. She pulled her knees up to her chest and cried, she hated her life. She hated everyone in it! Robert would probably tell Kelsi and Ryan about what happened and then they would hate her again and go back to Troy's gang.
After what seemed like hours, but was actually 30 minutes, the bell had rang about 25 minutes ago, but she had stayed put, just crying. She finally stopped and lifted her head up, she looked in the mirror, which was on the back of the toilet door, and saw her eyes puffy and mascara stained cheeks. She could feel the pain running through her veins, she just needed to let it all out. She had seen in movies that people cut there selves to relieve the pain, but had always thought it was stupid, maybe this could help her a little.
She reached into her school bag and pulled out the sharpener blade from her pencil case, she held it in her right hand, looking at it sceptically like it was gonna say something to her. She didn't know if she should do this or not, but it seemed that it would help, so she slowly pressed it lightly on to the inside of her left wrist. It hadn't pierced the skin yet, but she was gonna make it.
Slowly she pressed down on the blade harder, as she felt it pierce the skin, the blood started to flow out, as she moved it up slowly, only about 2 inches, the blood rushed out quickly, as she quickly let go of the blade, letting it fall to the floor, and quickly held the wound wit her hand trying to stop the blood. She grabbed some tissues and held them on the slit carefully, trying not to hurt it to much.

"Where the hell have you been?!" James exclaimed (I think I named her brother James anyway lol), as Gabriella walked through the front door slowly, with her head down. She just ignored him and walked up the stairs. "Gabriella! Did you hear me?!" he yelled at her as she still didn't reply. "Gabriella, The School rang, they said you weren't in any of your lessons!!" He yelled as she finally turned around, half way up the stairs.
"SO WHAT JAMMES?!?! IT'S MY LIFE I CAN DO THE FUCK I WANT!!!" Gabriella yelled at him angrily.
"I just wanna know where you were, when you were meant to be at school!! Did Troy do anything to you?!" He asked her. He had always been protective of her, and when it came to troy eh would do anything to protect her.
"No he fucking didn't can't you just stop protecting me!! I have dad to do that for me!!!" She yelled and walked up the stairs annoyed.
Gabriella slammed her door shut and fell forward onto her bed, she cried. She had been out at a club that night and while she was supposed to be in classes, she had spent like 2 hours crying in the bathrooms and then went walking around Albercerque.
Soon enough James came up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"GO AWAY!!!" Gabriella yelled at him.
"Kelsi, Ryan and Robert are here to see you." James said as he slowly opened the door.
Gabriella lifted her head up, showing her tear stained face to the four standing in the door way.
James left the room, closing the door behind him, as Kelsi slowly walked over to Gabriella's bed.
"Hey, you okay?" Kelsi asked softly.
"Do I seriously look okay to you?!" Gabriella said rudely, and turned away from her.
"Why weren't you in any of your classes today??" Robert asked.
Gabriella frowned, why was everyone asking that??? Why did they all care so much about where she was?? She wasn't worth anything to anyone anyway, so why should they be asking???
"CAN YOU ALL JUST STOP, I DON'T NEED YOU QUESTIONING ME!!!" She yelled at them, as she stood up and looked at her wall, covered in pictures, of family and her and Kelsi, her and Ryan and Robert. She even saw some of her and Sharpay when they were younger.
"Gabi, we're worried.." Ryan said softly.
"WELL YOU DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT ME, OKAY?!?!" She yelled at them, turning towards them. "I CAN LOOK AFTER MY SELF AND I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOU 3 BY MY SIDE!!!"
"But we wanna be there Gabriella!!" Kelsi exclaimed and stood up.
"WELL I DON'T WANT YOU THERE, I CAN MAKE NEW FRIENDS, I WANT YOU OUTTA MY LIFE!!!" She yelled at them angrily as they all looked at each other.
"Fine. We won't bother you anymore. We'll leave you alone and you can get on with your life by yourself, but don't expect us to take you back when you can't handle anything." Kelsi said as the 3 of them walked out leaving Gabriella alone.
Alone. She would Be Alone, for the next few years now. She looked over at her wall full of pictures, she stared at them hard, as if trying to intimidate them and suddenly grabbed them all, pulling them off the wall with all her strength, pulling them apart, until little pieces of paper were all over the floor. She looked down at them and cried, she fell onto her bed, falling asleep crying.
But what she didn't notice one picture was still up on the wall, one she may have on purpose or by accident left up there. It was a picture of Her, Troy, Sharpay, Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, Ryan, Zeke and Jason when they were in middle school. Did she mean to leave it up there?? Or was it accidental??
Okay I hated how this chapter turned out, I wanted it to be better, and I know you're all gonna be like 'Cutting??? What no way!! Don't make her cut herself!!!' Well it's all put of the storyline, I have now been given ideas form other people and have thought of some myself aswell. So give me, 20 reviews, so I have, 157 reviews now.
