"Gabriella, Gabriella."

Gabriella turned around to see her ex boyfriend, Troy, and it was only the two of them in that corridor. Troy had gotten a pass to go to the toilet and Gabriella was getting something for her teacher.

"What is it, Troy?" Gabriella growled. "Sharpay and I are still together, FYI." She turned to walk back to her class and tell the teacher that she couldn't get it for her, but Troy was quick and pulled her back by her shoulder.

"Ow!" Gabriella cried and rubbed her shoulder. "Troy, what do you want?!"

"You are going to stay away from Sharpay, got that? She's mine, all mine. I saw her first," Troy said.

"Troy, you're being like a five-year old. Firstly, Sharpay is not yours, you do not own her and secondly, what does seeing her first matter?" Gabriella replied. "Now, please, just let me go through!"

"NO!" Troy shouted. Then he pulled Gabriella away from the corridor, where teachers where appearing to see what was going on.

"No," Troy said, softer. "If you do not back the fuck off, I will make your life a living hell."

"Troy, you will make my life a living hell? That sounds so stupid coming from you, Troy Bolton. What are you going to do, huh? Call me names? You know I don't care what you do, Troy. I actually like Sharpay more than you and there's nothing you can do about that now f off," Gabriella said and shoved past Troy before he replied. This time, she made sure to run, so Troy couldn't stop her.

"I am capable of doing much worse than that, Gabriella Montez. Much worse," Troy muttered and walked back to his class.

"Troy Bolton! Where in the world have you been?! I sent you out with a pass ten minutes ago! Ten minutes ago, Troy! What were you doing in the bathroom?!" Ms Darbus demanded.

Troy licked his lips. "Um, well, to tell you the truth, Ms Darbus, I had an annoynymous text telling me to meet them in the boys' bathroom, 10 minutes ago. So, I'm afraid my curiosity took over me, Ms Darbus and I had to find out what it was so I went. And there was Gabriella Montez, my ex girlfriend, naked!" he said loudly, making sure everybody in the room heard

The school gossipers, Jane Brown, Loretta Cummings, Kate McIntosh and Penny Hire whipped out their cell phones immediately to text everyone in the whole school.

"Um.. well... take your seat, Troy," Ms Darbus said. Troy walked over to his seat in front of Sharpay, and just before he took his seat, he smirked at Sharpay.

"You effing son of a bitch!" Sharpay hissed into Troy's ears. "Gabriella and I are still going to be together, and you can't change that at all!"

"We'll see, Sharpay Evans. We'll see," Troy said and sat back in his chair.

"OMG, Gabriella Montez! I heard she and Troy did 'it' in the boys' bathroom!" Jenny Treestap whispered to her group as Gabriella Montez walked past their table with her lunch in her hands.

"No way, I heard she fucked up every male person that came in there. Even the janitor, I think. I heard she wants to become a prostitute when she grows up," gay guy, Ben Howard whispered.

The girls around him gasped. "No way!"

"What are they all saying, Tay? Why are they all looking at me like that?" Gabriella asked as she set her tray down.

"Today at Drama with Darbus, Troy said that when he went to the bathroom, you were standing there naked and that you two... did 'it'," Taylor said. "But, I didn't believe it of course. It's so stupid anyway."

"What?! Troy said that?!" Gabriella cried.

"What..? Is it true?" Taylor asked, shocked at the possibility.

"No it's not! I just can't believe he'd pass around such a dirty rumour about me!" Gabriella fumed.

"Calm down, Gabriella," Taylor said. "What I don't get is why he's the one spreading the rumours. He broke up with you, didn't he?"

"Um, right."
