Ryan, Hannah, Zeke, Gabriella, and Jeremiah all sat around the lunch table swapping stories of there summers away from East High. Jeremiah was telling them how he tried to be a wrestler while he went to school when they all looked up to see the one and only Troy Bolton.
Looking over at the group of friends Troy let out a growl when he noticed how close the fat ass and his Girlfriend were siting, Marching over to them with a purpose Troy got right up behind Jeremiah. "So redneck looser what are you doing siting with my girlfriend and my friends?" He said with a cold tone that he thought scared Jeremiah.
Jeremiah turned to Zeke ignoring Troy asked. "Zeke would you like to go to walk to Home Economics class together and talk about the homework for today?"
"Sure Jeremiah." Zeke smiling thinking it was cool he wasn't almost the only guy who he knew how to cook with out the microwave.
"Hey looser don't ignore me." Troy growled pushing Jeremiah in the back making him spill his Apple juice all over Gabriella's Midriff shirt.
Troy started laughing but he fail to notice the pale white complexion of Jeremiah as he stood up to be nose to nose with the Captain of the basketball team. Troy's laughter died down as they both stared at each other.
Not seeing it coming Jeremiah felt a stinging sensation in his jaw as Troy's right fist collided with him sending him over the table and to the floor. "Looser you are not even a good fighter what makes you think you will be a good mascot."
Ryan, Zeke, Hannah, and Gabriella all stood up to make a dash for Jeremiah but was intercepted by Chad, Jason, Taylor and Sharpay,
"Like where you losers going! This is Troy's right for Jeremiah going on that date with Gabriella." Sharpay said in her holier then thou attitude which earned her and uppercut from the fiesta female known as Gabriella, "God you give me a damn headache princess!" Gabriella groaned out as she rubbed her hand.
"Hey you cant do that Troy has every right to beat that no talent fat ass girlfriend stealer loose..." Chad didn't have time to finnsh his statement for the balls of his feet came off the ground from the well place kick of Hannah to his family jewels "Sorry about that Jimmy Hendrix off spring. Trick Knee and all that." Hannah said with laughter in her voice as he rolled around
Every one turned to Troy, Jeremiah who by now had a busted lip and a deep cut on his forhead. "When im done with you burger boy you will need to wear that mask full time to hide your shame." Troy growled as he charged at Jeremiah who placed his feet down and grabbed Troy by the waist throwing him over his shoulder and through the window behind him.
Turning around to follow him outside Jeremiah jumped through the window to receive a mule kick to the stomach almost knocking the wind out of him. Jeremiah Stumbled a little and fell to one knee in front of Troy's soft top convertible. "See that car fatty." Troy snarled grabbing Jeremiah by the face and forcing him to look up a that the candy red sportster "Thats what Gabriella is used to not your piece of shit truck." Troy growled slamming Jeremiah head first in to the bumper.
Jeremiah was on his hands and knees. Jeremiah now was wearing a crimson mask all over his face as he looked up at Troy by this time was now 5 feet away from him smirking. "So after i beat you down a peg or to i take Gabriella back and make her forget you even existed." Troy smirked as the fire that laid dormant in side Jeremiah was lit and he got to one knee breathing hard.
"You wont touch her again Twiggie she with me." Jeremiah said in between breaths as he held his bruised ribs.
In side the lunch room Hannah marched up on Sharpay siting over her chest holding her down as Gabriella got on top of Chad. "Ok you two time for a make overs!" Hannah and Gabriella said at the same time as two girl screams echoed through the building. 1 being Sharpay and the other being a guy.
Taking the scissors from a art student Gabriella started to give Chad a hair cut. Cutting it all way in to topknot on his head and put it in to a french braid and sealing it a little super glued locked it in place. On the other side Hannah was going to work on her ultimate master piece.
"I got the perfect name for you Sharpay! Bimbo the Clown!" Hannah said as she cut and died sharpay's hair in the shape of a 3d rainbow. Taking the clown make up from the drama club she began to paint and add stuff to her life's work of 15 minutes. "There all done" She and Gabriella said at the same time taking pictures with there camera phone as 100s of camera's went off at the same time. Every student had a new wall paper by the tomorrow of Sharpay and Chad's after make overs.
"Sweet Gabs we just got the covers for the year book!" Hannah said as she told Gabriella that she was the editor of the Year Book Committee
Back out side in the parking lot Troy now was sporting a bloody nose and a black eye. Jeremiah was no better he had a deep gash in his shoulder and his shirt was ripped up showing his blue undershirt as his now red button up shirt was in tatters. Panting both teens looked at each other. "We end this little scuffle of ours blubber butt!" Troy yelled as he let out a high battle cry and charged at Jeremiah.
Jeremiah started doing something Troy never seen. Jeremiah bent down low and put him self on guard as he got near and near Jeremiah had positon him self in front of Troy's car he would have rolled around to the underside of it. But something kept him to this spot as Troy neared Jeremiah braced him self "Prepare for the dark cold ground Girlfriend stealer!" Troy bellowed.
Jeremiah hooked Troy's leg and put his hand on his chest and carried Troy's momentum over his head and through the soft top of Troy's own convertible. Troy laid there not moving knocked out. Jeremiah was breathing really hard as he turned back to the school and walked a few steps and fell face first in to the grass as the faint cries of his friends could be heard.
Rushing to his side Hannah and Gabriella was there first Hannah checked for a pulse as a distrught Gabriella placed Jer's bloody head in her lap stroking his black hair. "Please be allright my Prince i need you." Gabriella said in a pleading tone as the tears fell.
Hannah saw Gabriella was no help so she assumed the roll as the General of the battlefield. "Ryan you and Zeke go check on dingus. Jason go get the principal and i swear to all that is scared you better tell him who really started this or your ass is grass and I'm the fucking blender got it!" she commanded them as she looked back to her friend.
Ryan and Zeke carried the limp body of Troy Bolton over to lay beside Jeremiah. Troy was still out as Hannah turned to him and said in a serious tone "Rub some dirt on it champ you will be alright." everyone around the teens laughed as Jason came back to them with the principal.
"The medics are on there ways Hannah how are they?" Principal Pennysworth said in his brittsh accent that comforted Hannah a tad bit.
"Ok sir. Troy here started it. Jeremiah was defending him self." Jason said as he finally saw the damage of the two teens who led not moving.
The medics finally arrived and loaded both teens into two seperate vans but Gabriella refused to leave her boyfriend's side so she road up front so the paramedics could work on Jeremiah
"Hannah come on lets go and meet them at the hospital!" Ryan said as he Zeke and Jason got in to the car followed quickly by Hannah who could feel her walls breaking down as the tears she held in fought them selves to be released.
The waiting room was a somber moment for the group. Troy was already released from the Hospital soon after arrival. The main concern was the out come for Jeremiah who did what most teenagers wouldn't have and thats stand up for a girl he just met and most recently started dating.
Looking up they notice the Doctor walking toward them was covered in blood. Gabriella turned pale as her hand went up to her mouth as Hannah hugged her. Ryan put both arms around them as the Doctor stopped in front of them.
"I am Doctor Adams. I are you the friends of Jeremiah Evans?" he asked to them which they all nodded. "Well he is resting fine we had to reset some bones and stop some bleeding. We had to drain the fluid from his head. he has a mild concusion 2 broke ribs and 3 bruised ones." Adams continued and he hated this part. "Finally he is in a coma. He may wake up tonight or tomorrow we don't know." the Doctor finished and left to tell the others about the other one.
After informing Chad of Troy injuries which included a strain neck a dislocated shoulder pulled quad muscle and numerous cuts. Damn you Jeremiah you ruined our shot at the season you will pay for this!!!! Chad thought as he marched out followed by the Principal who decided to suspend Troy from the team and tempoarily from school starting from the new term and give Jeremiah a special punishment he had to repair the window that Mr. Bolton broke.
A few hours had gone by since Gabriella Hannah Ryan and Jason had found out about Jeremiah so here they stood as they waited to enter the room. Putting a shaky hand Gabriella opened the door and everyone lost there breath. There laid Jeremiah who looked to be hooked up to all kinds of machines.
Gabriella ran toward him siting her self in the chair beside taking his hand in hers. "Jeremiah you wake up i command you." Hannah said as her voiced cracked a little and everyone looked at her.
"Damn it Jer! I said wake up you cant leave us here!" Hannah said again as she fell to her knees with the tears falling freely with out noticing Gabriella get up and came over and wrapped the girl in her arms. Hannah clung to her as she cried. "Jer please wake up please please..."Hannah said as her voice faded as the pain and heartache of loosing her dearest friend consumed her and she passed out.
In the morning Hannah and Gabriella along with Ryan Zeke and Jason sat in Jeremiah's room talking about the battle of the bands and what they were going to do. When something happen no one could believe. Jeremiah's hand moved and covered Hannah's and Gabriella's hands as he open his eyes.
"Hi Guys whats going on." Jeremiah said as he was literally dog-piled on laughing.
Hannah and Gabriella were in tears and said at the same time "Ever do this to me again and I will kill you." Everone looked at the to girls as Jeremiah spoke "Jinx you two owe me an asprin" everyone laughed and joked in to the early morning as the doctors came in to see if he was doing all right.
