Chapter 15

Gabriella & Troy met up with the rest of the gang about a block away from the school. They knew it would be like the first day back after their school trip. Everyone would be whispering and staring once again confused as to why they were all together because before the holidays they all hated each other and people liked that. this time they were all mentally prepared for people coming up to them and saying things unlike last time.

"So we ready to do this?" Jason asked as they approached the school.

"Let's go." Kelsi confidently said as she pulled Jason with her and the others following. They were ready. As predicted as they walked in the doors everyone looked at them, their jaws dropping that the people who hated each other were all back together. One person was furious.

"How the hell can they all be back together? I thought my plan had succeeded," Aaron angrily said as Connor stood behind him knowing Aaron would now be formulating a new idea. He hated this.

"Why is it such a bad thing that they are all back together?" Connor bravely asked. Aaron turned and sent an frightening stare to him

"Because we can't let those stupid oh-so-perfect players have everything." Aaron said, "and obviously and little friends at West High didn't do a very good job in scaring their girls because they haven't dumped them yet and probably don't care about the championship." Aaron finished and Aaron looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean our friends at West High?"

"I sent part of their basketball team to scare the girls so that they would either dump their boyfriends or the boys would dump them because they didn't want them to get hurt." Aaron explained. Connor just stood there in shock not knowing what to do.

The rest of the day went pretty much the same for the gang. After school, Gabriella had arranged to meet up with the boys because Sharpay, Kelsi and Ryan had to help Ms Darbus out and Taylor had got to help some students study in the library. Gabriella was waiting in the park opposite waiting for them to come. She suddenly felt someone come up behind her and grab her waist. They pushed her forcefully up against a tree. She saw that it was Aaron. He had a smug look on his face.

"You know I always thought you were very sexy." He whispered in her ear making her shudder. She tried to wriggle out form his grasp.

"Let go Aaron." She pleaded as she held back her tears.

"I don't think so." He suddenly leaned forward putting his lips to hers as she tried to get him off her. She felt his right hand going up her left leg and under her skirt. She was struggling to break free.

With Troy and the other boys

Troy was walking out with the other guys as he saw Gabriella. He smiled as he saw her waiting.

"I'm guessing he noticed his girl." Chad said as the others laughed. They followed his trance to where Gabriella was standing. They noticed someone sneak up behind her grabbing her forcefully by the waist.

"What the hell is he doing?" Troy angrily asked as they pickled up their pace. They saw Aaron then put his lips to Gabriella's and move his hand up her skirt as she tried to wiggle free. "I'm gonna kill him!" Troy exclaimed as he ran to Gabriella knowing the others would be right behind him.

"He is dead." Jason said as they followed Troy ready to beat the crap out of Aaron.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING TO MY GIRLFRIEND?" Troy yelled as he pulled Aaron off Gabriella and punched him causing him to fall to the ground. Zeke was holding a crying Gabriella rubbing her back trying to calm her down.

"Hey I wasn't the one who started it." Aaron cheekily said with a smile on his face as he got back up.

"Oh really, Well then why did I see you force her up against a tree and then kiss her as she tried to push you off?" Troy asked as Aaron went to punch him. He ducked as Chad then punched Aaron in the face again as Troy punched him in the stomach causing him to groan and fall to the ground. Jason kicked him a couple of times in the stomach before they all turned back to Gabriella.

"Hey come here." Troy said softly as Gabriella moved from Zeke to him holding him tighter. He let her cry into his chest not caring how wet his t – shirt was getting. When her cries subsided he spoke again. "Come on let's get back to my house." He held her close to him as they walked towards Troy's.

When they got there they went straight to his room after telling his mom not to interrupt them. She had just nodded when she saw how upset Gabriella looked. Gabriella and Troy lay on his bed, Jason and Chad on the beanbags on the floor and Zeke on his computer chair.

"Are you ok?" Troy asked as Gabriella had her head in his chest.

"Yeah. Thanks to all of you." She smiled at the other boys.

" Did he hurt you?" Jason asked.

"No." She answered simply. She felt a few tears run down her face once again.

"Hey come on its ok." Troy rubbed her back trying to calm her back down.

"I was just so scared of what he might do and I felt like I couldn't do anything and I was worried about how you would react." She told them as they all looked at her felling sorry for her.

"I promise I won't let him hurt you again." He kissed the top of her forehead as she smiled feeling a little better.

"Yeah and you will all of us too." Jason added.

"Yeah and I'm sure Sharpay could scare him of easily too." Chad said causing them all to laugh.

"Thanks what would I do without my big brothers." She said as they all got up and shared a hug.

"Am I one of your big brother?" Troy asked with a smile on his face.

"Nope because if you were then I wouldn't be able to do this." She leaned up and kissed him passionately on the lips. They got so wrapped up in one another that the other 3 left. Gabriella stayed at Troy's a bit longer before he eventually walked her home.
