That week went pretty fast. Gabriella paid attention in school and did her homework. She avoided Troy and only talked to him when she needed to. She was starting to get used to living there and she was growing fond of Lucille and Jack. Before you know it was Friday night and everyone is getting ready to go out to the club. Gabriella already got her fake id. It looked pretty good to her.

Gabriella was in her room when she heard a knock on her door.

"I'll be out in a minute I'm getting dressed."

Gabriella had on tight faded blue jeans, a black flowing halter top it was tight all around but it dragged down by her cleavage, black strap pointed heals. Her hair was full of big curls, she had on a bit more make-up than she usually do. She had on no jewellery other than her locket.

As she put on her last shoe she went to the door and opened it to find Troy leaning up against the wall waiting. He had on a pair of black jeans and a black dress shirt his hair was had gel in it. It wasn't slicked back or anything. His black hair was tousled everywhere and one piece fell into his piercing blue eyes. He looked hot.

Troy looked up at Gabriella, a little taken back by her appearance. He wasn't expecting her looking so.. So.. So sexy. He cleared his throat as he said.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yea." She said as she walked past him and down the hallway to meet the rest of the gang.

Sharpay had on a black spaghetti strap dress that came up to her thigh with red heals to match her hair. Chad had on black jeans and a white dress shirt opened with a whit wife beater underneath it. Taylor had on a jean mini skirt with a blue tube top. And Ryan had on blue jeans with a dark blue polo.

"Wow you guy's look hot!" Gabriella said as she walked down the stairs.

Chad smiled.

"Thanks you don't look to bad yourself." Chad said stupidly.

Everyone laughed expect Troy who just rolled his eyes.

"Can we just leave now?" Troy said walking out the door and into the limo that he got because he new everyone was going to be drinking.

A hour later everyone was at the club. Troy, Taylor and Ryan were sat down at a table sipping on there drinks, and talking. As Sharpay, Chad and Gabriella were out on the dance floor. Sharpay and Chad were dancing with each other. While VGabriella found another guy to dance with. They were dancing to "Doin it well" by Jennifer Lopez. Gabriella was grinding on the guy. Moving her body in every direction, following the beat of the music.

"Man, Gabie sure is working that guy." Ryan said with his arm around Taylor.

"Who cares." Troy Mumbled.

After the song ended Gabriella came to the table beat out from dancing.

"You guy's should really get out there. It's so much fun." She said between breaths as her chest heaved up and down catching air. She picked up her beer and chucked the whole thing down.

"Thirsty?" Asked Taylor.

"Just a little." She said as she laughed.

A new song boomed through the club. "Piece of me." By Britney Spears.

"Oh I love this song! Anyone care to dance?" Gabriella asked as she looked at the two guys.

Taylor answered for Ryan.

"I think were going to dance together." She pulled Ryan up towards the dance floor. It just came to Gabriella that they were a couple. She never of thought of that before. She looked at Troy with pleading eye's.

"Wanna dance?" She asked him.

He laughed at her. "Don't hold your breath."

"Fine I'll go dance by myself."

"You do that."

She got up and walked to the dance floor.

Was she serious? Was she just going to stand up in a crowd full of people and just start dancing by her self?

Sure enough when Troy looked up at her she was in the middle of the dance floor by herself dancing. He shook his head and laughed. He knew she was going to make a complete fool of herself. But to his amazement a crowd started to clear and watch her dance. She started just to dance to the music. She twirled around and jumped planting her two legs apart from each other. Then, she did a back flip as the crowd cheered. She swayed her hips left and right as she started to sink lower to the ground. When she got down as far as she could bend down she put her to hands on the floor and stood on her hands straight up and flipped the opposite way. The crowd cheered loud for her.

She started to follow the beat again. A guy jumped in next to her and started following her. She started to grind on him and do sluty moves on him that made the crowd roar. She whispered something in his ear as he nodded. They backed away from each other and she ran and slid to her knees. She went right underneath his legs, he turned and pulled her up. Then, he stuck out his two knee's, as she jumped on his two legs. She was now standing on his legs as she did another back flip. And as she landed she did the splits just as the song ended. The crowd clapped and cheered for her. She smiled and stood up and hugged the guy she was dancing with and made her way back to Troy and everyone else who was now sitting .

Troy just sat there with his beer in his hand's and mouth wide open. She smiled at him.

"Better close your mouth. A fly might get in there." She said as she placed her hand under his chin and lightly pushed his mouth closed.

He finally snapped out of it.

"That wasn't that great." He said as he rolled his eye's. "So what you can dance, whop di do. If you ask me you just looked like a little slut out there."

Gabriella's face fell.

"I'm going to get something to drink." she said as she ran over to the bar.

"What the hell was that!?" Screamed Sharpay.

"What?" Troy said looking all innocent.

"What do you mean 'What?' you were totally just rude to her for no damn reason." Sharpay said ticked off.

Sharpay just shrugged.

"She pisses me off. So what?" Troy said with a swig of his beer.

Sharpay rolled her eye's but stopped when she looked over at the bar. Where Gabriella was drinking down shots.

"Look what you've done now." Taylor said pointing over to Gabriella who just downed a few shot's. Then, had two guy's help her up onto the bar.

Troy turned his head and laughed. "She's fucking wasted! Look at her go!"

Gabriella slid across the bar as more guy's started to surround the bar. "He thinks I'm a slut? Then I'll give him a damn slut!" Gabriella thought as she started to shake her ass on the bar. The next thing she knew two guy's were pulling on her leg's trying to pull her off the bar. She tried to shake them off but the just gripped harder.

"Get the fuck off of me!" She yelled.

She was just about to kick one of them when she fell into the crowd of guy's. When she looked up at the person that caught her she saw the guy that had been pulling on her legs. He was now looking down at her with a devil and lust look in his eyes. She struggled to get away from him but she was weak from the alcohol, and he was much stronger than her. He bent his head down to her and whispered in her ear.

"How about we have a little bit of fun, Sexy." He said as he growled.

Gabriella stomach turned as she shook with fear.

--

"Oh my god, where is she?!" Taylor asked. Moments after Gabriella fell into the crowd.

"I don't see her." Ryan said moving his head around to see if he could find her.

"See this all your fault Bolton!" Sharpay said pissed as hell.

"Was not, I had nothing to do with this. She went over there all on her own." Troy said.

"Guy's whatever, we just need to find her. You know what guy's are like around here." Chad said worriedly.

--

Gabriella was struggling as the guy kissed her neck. She was still up at the bar. Some of the guy's were still surrounding her waiting to see if they could get with her too. Gabriella was starting to get nervous she clawed at him to get off of her. She looked at the drunk men surrounding her realizing no one was coming to save her. She took all of her strength she had and kicked the guy that was kissing her, hard in between the leg's. He let go of her to grab his injured spot. She started to run, he grabbed her shirt and it ripped as she kept running, looking for her friend's. She didn't notice she was crying until she tasted the salty water in her mouth.

She ran through the crowd when she seen her friend's she screamed to them and they all turned there head's to look at her as she ran to them.

"Oh my god Gabriella!" Sharpay was shocked by her appearance. She hugged Gabriella when she came running over to them. "Are you ok?" She shook her head meaning no. All of a sudden Sharpay felt Gabriella being pulled from her. As she heard Gabriella Whimper.

"Hey baby where did you go I wasn't finished yet." Said the drunken guy as he put his lip to her neck.

"Hey get off of her." Troy pushed the guy off of her.

"Aw come on man. Where just having a little fun."

Troy didn't even think of it, as he punched the guy square in the jaw.

"Come on let's get out of here." Troy said while walking towards the door.

The ride home was silent, except for a few sniffles from Gabriella. After everyone was dropped off it was just Troy and Gabriella. She had on his jacket to hide her ripped shirt. She looked up at him to see him looking out the window.

"Thank you."

Troy turned his head and stared at her.

"For what?"

"For saving me back there."

"Don't mention it. And I really mean don't mention it." He said coolly.

She just nodded and continued to look at the floor of the car.

The next morning Gabriella woke up with a major headache and memories of her throwing up came to mind. She got up to wash all the filth off of herself from last night. She shivered from the thought of it. That guy was in her dreams last night. She woke up at least 4 times in a cold sweat, or either to barf her guts up. After getting ready, deciding to try and eat something she put on her pyjama pants and a t-shirt with her wet hair hanging on her shoulders. She yawned as she walked to the end of the stairs.

She walked in the kitchen to find Chad and Troy sitting at the table eating food.

"Hey guy's." She waved at them as she went in search for food.

"About time you got up its 2:30." Chad said while stuffing a cookie in his mouth.

"Well sorry, I'm a little hung over."

Chad laughs at this.

"Well I'd say so."

Gabriella cracks a smile as she grab's a bottle of water and some aspirin and walks over to the guy's and sits next to Chad and takes the pills.

"So where's Ryan?"

"Out with Taylor." Chad said with a eye roll.

"Ohhh." Gabriella says as she grabs a cookie from the jar in front of them and takes a bite. Then got up and went searching threw the cupboards.

"What are you looking for?" Troy asked a little annoyed.

"Umm .. Aha!" She pulled out a tub of vanilla frosting grabbed a spoon and sat back down.

The two guy's looked at her confused. And watched her as she spooned up some frosting and put it on her cookie and ate it. She looked at the two guy's.

"What?"

Troy just shrugged and dunked his cookie in the frosting and ate it.

"Uh Gabriella?" Troy said in a aggravated tone.

"Yes Troy?"

"Who said you could sit down here with us?"

"Oh umm.." Gabriella put down the cookies and icing and mumbled "No one." She than got up and left.

"Dude. Don't you think that was a little mean?"

"So what? I don't care."

Chad just shook his head and went back to eating his cookies.

Later that night the whole gang was in the Boltons livening room watching a movie.

"I can't believe I can say I watched high school musical." Chad shook his head in shame.

"Oh shut up Drama King." Gabriella said as she threw a pillow at him.

"But he's my Drama King" Said Sharpay as she sat on his lap.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Drama king and Queen." Everyone laughed except Troy who looked mad.

"Troy dude what's up with you?" Ryan asked.

"Nothing."

"Hey Gabriella" Chad said.

"Yea?"

"I bet I could beat you in 'Dance Dance revolution.'"

"OHH Chad I'd watch it. She's a damn good dancer." Laughed Taylore

Gabriella cocked up a eye brow. "Come on then, let's go."

Before you know it the two of them were in a intense game of DDR. And no surprise that Gabriella was winning.

Gabriella had a great time that night. And she had made some amazing friend's expect Troy who always seemed cold around her.

--

That next day Gabriella went downstairs about to go into the dance studio but decided to say "Hi" to Lucille and Jack. She was walking to the living room when she heard Troy yelling.

"She's ruining my life!!"

"Troy don't you think your exaggerating just a tad bit." His mother said calmly.

"No I don't! First she moves into the house and is annoying me all the time. NOW she's in with my friend's!! What she going to do next take basketball from me!?"

"Troy just calm down a little bit." His father told him.

"Just because her life is shit doesn't mean she has to come here and take over mine and turn mine into shit!" Troy stopped to take a breath. "Can't you just get rid of her?"

"Oh and what do you suggest we do?" Asked his mother with annoyance in her voice.

"Send her back to her family, send her to boarding school, I don't care I just want her out of here!" Troy turned and stormed out of the room and came face to face with Gabriella. His eyes went wide realizing she heard everything.

"Troy come back here" Order her mother as she and his father came out of the room and saw Gabriella standing there with her head down.

A.N Hey guys what did you think? Please comment!! I really need them. Thanks!

No one knew what to do. Gabriella dropped her dance bag that she was holding and turned from them and walked out the back door. Everyone just stood there silently.
