Gabriella walked straight to her homeroom. She took her usual seat, which was in the back. She just took out some extra credit worksheet from her algebra class. It wasn't like she needed it, she was just bored. She started doing her homework, not expecting anything. But then surprisingly Troy walked over to a desk right next to hers and sat down.

She looked up from her paper with a confused expression on her face. "Troy, what are you doing here?"

He looked at her with big hopeful blue eyes. "Well, umm since you left on Saturday I never got a chance to finish my math, so I was ugh wondering if I could copy yours?" He was begging her with his eyes. "Oh, please Gabriella! Come on, just this once."

'Gabriella? Since when did he call me Gabriella it's always Gabi, Ella, or even Brie. "Okay Troy, but make sure to give it back to me before lunch." She got out her blue and green binder and gave him her math homework. As expected it was neat, with perfect handwriting with swirls on all the ends.

"Thanks Gabriella!" Troy said as he snatched the paper out of her hand and ran over to his "friends" before the bell rang.

'Why does he keep calling me Gabriella?' 'Did I do something?' Then the bell rang and Mrs. Ekberg walked in. 'Dang! You can hear that woman from the office,' she thought.

Homeroom passed on, boring as usual, and now it was 12:03 and Gabriella was waiting outside the lunchroom waiting for Troy. 'Where the hell is Troy?!?!?!' she thought all while being pissed that she was losing the contest between Troy's new buddies over Troy.

It was now 6 minutes before math and Troy was nowhere to be seen. 'Ugh, he better get me my homework before class' she thought as she ran to locker to get what she needed.
She looked around for Troy once more, but unfortunately did not see him.

She made her way into the class and sat down. Just two minutes before the bell rang Troy walked in with his friends. She was about to go up to him and demand for her homework, but then Mrs. Slogget walked in and realizing she was defeated sulked down into her seat.

She desperately tried to get his attention, but nothing seemed to work. She was getting really annoyed now, she was even going to throw a paper airplane at his head but Mrs. Slogget turned away from the board.

"Okay class; get you homework out so I can collect it." Gabriella couldn't believe Troy! This was defiantly not the little boy she use to know who would share cookies and lollipops with, and chased away the monsters under her bed.

Her mouth dropped open when she saw Troy hand in HER work! She couldn't believe her eyes. 'You must be kidding me! Did he just use me?'

Mrs. Slogget made her way to Gabriella and stood in front of Gabriella's desk. "Ms. Montez, where is your homework?" she demanded.

"I umm don't have it." Gabriella said looking down at her desk, while at the same time fumbling with her hands.

"Well I must say I am very disappointed in you Ms. Montez. I expected more from you, being one of my top and I must say favorite students. I would have never thought that you would act so intolerant and irresponsible, maybe so from Mr. Danforth but never from you! I'm sorry but I'll have to give you detention. Tonight 3-4," She replied shaking her head while walking away.

Gabriella wanted to cry, she had just gotten lectured by a teacher in front of the WHOLE class. 'Its one fricking assignment. What do you expect me to be perfect??? I shouldn't have even gotten in trouble, if I just said no to Troy's stupid big blue eyes. Ugh! It's not fair, I shouldn't get detention! I worked hard on that paper, while Bolton was watching porn!'

Gabriella didn't know if that was true or not, she was just incredibly upset. She wanted to go melt away and cry, what made the matter worse was that she saw Troy and his friends laughing their hands off.

'Nice to know you think of me as a joke Troy.' Now Gabriella truly did want to cry. She took out her phone and texted her mom "Mom, I've made a decision. I want to go to California." With that she closed her phone and stared blankly at the wall not paying attention at all to the teacher.

She just waited and waited for the bell to ring, to come and give her a chance to run. Then the bell rang and Troy and his friends ran out.

Gabriella ran gathered her stuff and ran straight out after Troy. She didn't care who was around them, she just needed to talk to him.

She grabbed his arm and yanked him into an empty classroom.

Whhhhhhhhooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

Troy yelled as he was yanked into the empty room. Gabriella pushed him against the wall as hard as she could as glared at him and said……
