After running out from the cafeteria Jeremiah ran straight to the empty band room. He slumps behind the piano to his knees and breaks down crying. He felt so lonely and hurt. 'Noone is bound to find me here, it's not like anyone misses me or wants me here anyway'. He thought to himself as he cried.
After seeing Jeremiah run away Hannah tells Ryan to wait with Gabriella. Following the sauce droplets Hannah found out where Jeremiah was and slowly walked into the empty band room.
"Jer?" She called sounding caring and compassionate. "Are you okay"
Jer did not respond, all he could do was cry from the embarrassment.
Following the sounds of Jer crying Hannah walked to to him and slumped down beside him.
"What's a matter?" she asked trying to sound funny as she wrapped an arm around him "They were jerks, no they were mean jerks to you Jer and Troy will pay." She said angrily. "Me and Ryan will make sure of that!"
""Why cant i find someone thats not taken am always going to be alone?" Jeremiah asked crying looking up at Hannah.
"Nope, your not always going to be alone." Hannah replies picking the spaghetti out of his hair. "I believe its going to be your lucky day sometime soon." She smiled at him.
"You sure?" Jer asked sounding very vulnerable and in a child-like state.
"I'm sure I'm sure" Hannah replies as she heard the door open and Ryan and Gabriella come in to see if Jer is okay.
Gabriella sat down by Jeremiah and smiled at him. "Jer.. I'm sorry for how Troy treated you, could you ever forgive me for not sticking up for you back there?" She asked compassionately.
"I guess so.." Jer said sounding depressed looking down at the floor.
"You know how Troy treated you for who you are was disgusting. I'm sorry I really am and I was thinking about your request for a date, and if it's okay with you ill take you up on it." Gabriella smiled.
"R-really?" Jer asked looking at Hannah not knowing how she knew this would happen.
"Yes Jeremiah, Really" She said looking at him picking some spaghetti off his shoulder.
"Okay.. then… sure…" He said smiling in a very big way.
Gabriella wrapped her arms around Jeremiah as much as she could as in to comfort him and apologise for what he had to go through.
On seeing the good news Ryan and Hannah walked out together, but before doing so Ryan and Hannnah signed up for the Battle of the bands as a duo but not inly sign their selves as a duo they signed up Jeremiah and Gabriella as a duo just to spite Troy.
Hannah linked arm in arm with Ryan and walked down and out of the school building.
"Okay, since we are a duet what are we going to sing?" Ryan asked.
"I thought I'd play guitar and you'd dance and we both sing?" She smiled at Ryan, "Jer told me you were an awesome dancer."
"Oh did he now, and yeah people have said that. " Ryan smiled big. "I like your idea, You write the song too then hun"
"Okay" Hannah smiled and they both walked home.
Meanwhile…
"I cannot believe she chose that fat assed buffoon over me!" Troy yells as he throws the basketball into the hoop. "How the hell could she do this to me!?" Troy yelled even more angrily.
Zeke walked up to Troy.
"You do realize you had this coming to you right if you didn't treat the big guy like that maybe Gab wouldn't have went off with him. You know?" Zeke said angrily to the captain. "He's our mascot and my good mate so you dare give him a hard time and I'll quite and join the cook-off instead." Zeke said angrily.
"Why don't you sissy boy, I don't need women like you on my squad now do I?" Troy said in a mocking tone.
"FINE! I will, and by the way we are not friends anymore." Zeke said ripping his vest off chucking it on the ground. "I QUIT!" He yelled as he walked out.
Chad looked at Troy and walked up to him "Don't worry that Girlfriend stealing Fat Ass won't get away with what he's done and we don't need sissies like Zeke on the team now do we?" He said egging Troy on.
"I know Chad, Zeke and that Fatass are done for!" He said angrily tossing another Basketball into the hoop and walking to the changing rooms changing with the rest of the squad.
