Hey guys, I know I haven't updated at all. It's horrible. I decided to wait a week or so, just to see if I get anymore. I sadly didn't, I was a bit disappointed. I won't give up though. I just hope I don't get picky about the reviews, if I do I'm sorry but it really does motivate the writer to continue!

Stand In The Rain, Chapter 2: Who Knew?

Gabriella stared out the window of ' classroom. It's not that she was bored, or anything, but Gabriella was just plain out thinking. People can do that, right? Let's go see what she's thinking!

Okay, so if I got to Stanford, just like my mom wants me too, I could get a good education…but it won't be for me? But if I go to UCLA I could follow my dreams.

I soon started to drift off to my dreams. I rested my chin, slightly, on the palm of my hand. "," called out.

I shook my head, "Yes, ?"

She sighed, "I was asking if you had English class next?" I nodded, "Why do you ask?" I was confused, she wasn't going to follow me there...right? "No reason, just checking. I'm just going to let you know that there is a new teacher that goes to all of you." The class nodded and went on to their 'duties.' While I just stared outside, wondering how ever could I tell my mother I do not want to go Stanford?

I suddenly felt something hit me at the back of my head. I turned slightly to see Sharpay pointing to a neatly folded paper, pink I must add. I slowly picked it up and opened it.

Heyy Chica. Off thinking about UCLA? Gosh, girl you need to get your pants on and go tell your mom. It's simple, 'Yo mama, I wanna go to UCLA...toodles!' See. Anyways, who do you think the new English teacher is? I hope it's a guy…a hot guy. Yummy. Xoxo, Shar.

I silently giggled and shook my head, that girl is a maniac! I quickly took my pen and neatly replied. I folded the paper quickly and sent it back to her, unnoticed by the Darbus.

Sharpay opened it and began to read:

Hey to you too Chica. Yes I was thinking about UCLA, and in fact I actually will tell my mother about me going to UCLA. Just not now, maybe soon, whenever the time is right. However I will not, I repeat not, go to my mother and say 'Yo mama,' and 'toodles.' A, I don't want to get killed. B, that's just weird of me to say that, it's always been your thing: P. Anyways, as for the English teacher...I have no idea, but I do know that I don't care if it's a male or female...as long as they are a good teacher. Xoxo, Gabi.

Sharpay giggled loudly, and everyone just looked at her, including . Just in time, the bell rang, saving Sharpay from a lecture from the Darbus. "Smooth Shar, very smooth." I told her once we had gotten out of class. Just as Sharpay was going to reply, Zeke, her loving boyfriend and one of the basketball team's valuable player, slung his arm around Sharpays shoulders. "Sup babe, hey Gabi. How are you?" I smiled, "Im good thanks."

You know, Sharpay and Zeke are so cute together but once they make out you gotta run for your life. This was exactly what I was doing. Rushing inside my English classroom I took a seat and put my bag down. Taylor came in and sat down by me. "Hey Gabs, can't wait to see who the new teacher is. Can you?" I shook my head, "can't wait either, but I really don't care." Taylor nodded in agreement.

Students began to fill the classroom. One by one, but no sign of the teacher. I sighed and relaxed back into my chair. Suddenly, a boy walked in. Wait a second that was him! The guy that was standing in the middle of the road. Wow, so he is in our school. Wait, what...why is he walking to the front of the class? Why is he putting his bag on the d-?

"Welcome everybody, please take your seats." His husky voice filled the room, whatever his name is, ill just call him unknown, since he won't take off his hoddie. He lifted his bag to the ground and went to the board. Delicately, he lifts up the board marker and starts writing on the board. He soon turned around and looked at the class. I gasped, quietly of course. His eyes were just so blue and piercing. He lifted his hands and pulled down the hooddie. Oh my, I couldn't help but stare at the 'Adonis' standing in front of me. I wasn't ashamed...at all, heck Sharpay and Taylor are also staring, and they have boyfriends.

He opened his mouth, and again his husky voice came out. "My name is Troy Bolton; you guys can call me Mr. Bolton, or Mr. or whatever you like." One girl whispered, "Can we call you sexy?" Apparently Mr. Bolton heard it and replied to the girl, "No you may not, but thank you for the compliment." People started laughing, and the girl just blushed and sat up in her chair.

I'd usually not stare and obsess over boys but he is totally gorgeous. I've seen nothing like, this wonder before in my life! He reminded me a little bit of Zac Efron (Authors Note; hmm, wonder why?P) I soon shrugged it off; I had no time for boys or men in my life. I had to focus on my academics.

"Now that you guys know my name, its time I learn yours. My rows I want everyone to tell me their name and favorite color, car, sport, whatever I don't care, you pick." Sharpay was to go first, "Sharpay Evans, my favorite color is sparkly pink." Mr. Bolton nodded, and chuckled a bit. Wow, Sharpay didn't do anything? If any guy laughed about how she liked pink she'd whoop their butts right there…oh no she's mesmerized, he's taken down one of our toughies soldiers! Whoa, whats wrong with me? Focus Gabs, focus!

"Excuse me, are you there?" Oh no, not his husky voice again. I looked at him; oh gosh his eyes are so mesmerizing. For a second there, I thought our eyes locked. Then I soon realized I should probably answer, "Uhm, my name is uh Gabriella Montez. Um, my favorite flower is uh roses?" I asked it more as a question then a statement, I was confused as to why I was telling him that my favorite flower are roses...smooth Gabriella. He smirked and winked at me, or at least I think he did, he nodded and moved on to the next person.

I sighed; this was going to be a difficult day. This guy is making crazy, and I don't even know him! Worst of it, HES MY TEACHER!

Authors Note:
Didn't see that coming? Hehe, yup Troy is the teacher. Ouch! Well there you go; you learned some things about Gabi. Hopefully I'll explain more about her and her past, and Troy and such. Please guys, review! If I don't get at least 4 reviews, I don't think ill update. I don't really want to picky, it's a horrible thing to do, but I think it's pointless for any writer on , to write a story and not have reviews. How do we know it's good? How do we know it's bad, how do we know it should be continued. Please review, it only takes 10 seconds of your time to write your thoughts. A simple 'UPDATE' will be okay...well not okay but still it encourages the writer. Thank you.
