Okay, so I hope you like this chapter. My parents are leaving me to go on a trip so I will not be able to update for around six days, maybe less. Not sure though.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

"How many do you have," I asked.

"I have five," She said pulling out different papers. "What about you and what did she mean by you got lucky?"

"I've only got one," I said.

"that's weird let's go and ask her about it," Taylor said. "Excuse me, why does Gabriella only have one?"

"Well we lost the folder and when we found it we only had one left so now anyone who signs up will be going to you," She said.

"Okay," I said. "Well then lets look at who this one is." I pulled out the sheet just as the principal's door opened.

"He's cute," Taylor said looking over my shoulder.

"That's Drew's brother, Daniel Taylor," I said.

"Serious?" I nodded. "Well that's luck." We laughed.

"girls, I see you have your assignments, I can't tell you how glad I am to have you two helping," He said. "And this is Daniel, he's just starting here. And I believe that he's your Gabi."

"Yep! Hey Daniel," I said.

"Well Gabriella I'm very busy but do you mind giving him the grand tour, he's in your homeroom and it's extra long because of the news and something or other," Matsui said.

"Sure," I said. "I'll see you later Taylor," I said walking out of the office.

"So you're a tutor?" He asked.

"So you need one?" I asked.

"No, my parents thought it would be good because we were behind at my old school," He said. "I don't normally need a tutor."

"Okay but yeah I'm a tutor, well actually Taylor signed me up without me knowing but you're the only one I have right now," I said. "Do you want to sit with my friends and I at lunch?"

"Sure that sounds good, now where is this?" He asked handing me his schedule and pointing to the locker number.

"Follow me, my lockers down this hallway and your's is right here," I said stopping in front of the right locker.

"Gabriella?" I turned around at the voice. "What are you doing over here?" Troy asked closing his locker.

"It turns out that I'm Daniel's tutor and so Matsui asked me to show him around. His locker's next to yours," I said. "Shouldn't you be in calculus?"

"Oh, that's cool. Yeah I was just heading there now but I still have enough time," Troy said looking at an imaginary watch.

"I would hurry," Daniel said looking at his real watch. "The bell's going to ring in around 30 seconds."

"Okay thanks," Troy said walking past us and towards the classroom. He was about halfway down the hall when the bell rang and he started sprinting.

"Okay did you already get your books?" I asked. He shook his head. "Back to the office!"

"So how long have you lived here?"

"I've lived here pretty much my whole life," I said. "I mean once my dad died my mom moved us here and we've been here ever since."

"I'm sorry," He said.

"It's okay. I got over it, and I didn't have to deal with the usual mom questions because she buried herself in work and still is. She's gone for most of the month but I don't care. The way I think of it, the easier it will be to leave home for college," I said.

"That stinks but hey we live like a block down so come visit us anytime, bring Hannah," He joked. I laughed as we kept on walking.

"We need a calculus, chemistry, grammar, literature, and world history book please, oh and a Spanish book, please" I said.

"Okay," Ms. Flagstaff said going in the back to get the books.

"Why do I need so many books?"

"Don't worry you'll have room, you can take home the Calculus, history, and English books," I said. "But have fun lugging them home today."

"I'll have Drew help me," He said. Ms. Flagstaff came out carrying all of those books. I took the first three off the top and carried them out of the library.

"Are you trying out for anything?"

"Maybe football and golf, and the decathlon team," He said.

"Cool, I know Taylor will be happy that you going for the decathlon team, she's president," I said. "And Troy's on the golf team and one of my other friends Nick is on the football team. What about basketball?"

"I don't really play basketball," He said. "Is that a bad thing? Will I get beaten up for it?" I laughed and shook my head.

"Basketball is the main sport around here but it's refreshing having someone that doesn't play basketball."

"What about you, what teams are you on?" He asked opening his locker.

"I'm on the basketball and decathlon team," I said. "But now it's time for the grand tour and do you have your binders already?"

"Nope all of mine were falling apart so my mom made me get rid of them," he said.

"Okay well I'm making a list for you, never get the sizes of the binders that the teachers ask for, it's totally useless," I said. "You will need paper or a bunch of spirals." We walked through the whole school, all three floors. I told him every single classroom even the ones that are never used.

"this is a big school, how man kids go here?"

"Around 12,500," I said. "But that's all of the grades combined. I'm not sure on how many in each grade but Taylor should know." We stopped for a minute and I started hearing this clicking getting louder and louder.

"Do you hear that?" I nodded and turned around. Sharpay Evans was back and heading right for us.

"Montez," She said.

"What do you want Sharpay," I asked. "you ready for detention?"

"haha, very funny. But I was just wondering who your friend was," She asked looking him over. "Looks new, but before you even ask me out I already have a boyfriend."

"Who?" I asked. "Oh and this is Daniel yeah he's new."

"Troy of course, are you stupid. Most popular and prettiest/hottest girl always goes with most popular and hottest/cutest guy. And look at me," She said. "And then at you."

"Okay well I would really like to stay and hear you blabber on about how horrible I am when everyone actually hates you but we've got to go. Bye Sharpay," I said grabbing Daniel and dragging him over to the next hallway.

"Who was that?"

"That's Sharpay Evans. She think's that she's the best of the best when in reality everyone hates her. But Troy went out with her for about I don't know a week maybe a week and a half before he broke up with her." I said.

"Where has she been then. Drew never said anything about a pink sparkly monster," Daniel said. I laughed at the name.

"She's been suspended, I'll tell you the story later but for now the bell's about to ring so we should just get our stuff together. What class do you have next?" He pulled out his schedule from his back pocket.

"I've got chemistry and then calculus," He said.

"Cool, I've got those but they're switched around. I'll see you later!" I said just as the bell rang. I walked in and sat next to Troy.

"Hey," He said. I just nodded.

"Wait, Sharpay is sadly back but that means I'm partnered with Taylor again. Bye Troy," I said picking up my stuff again and walking over to Taylor.

"bye," He said looking down.

"Hey, we're partners again," Taylor said.

"Yeah I went and sat next to Troy at first," I said. We both laughed. Sharpay pranced in and sat down next to Will who grimaced.

"Okay everyone, today we are taking the test! And yes Ms. Evans you still have to take it because you knew about it and we covered everything while you were still here," He said holding a large stack of tests.

"Is it hard?" chad asked.

"I would say if you paid attention and studied then you will do fine." Taylor nudged me when he said studied looking over at Troy. "Good luck." Mr. Kently said handing out the tests.

One by one people finished and handed them to him for him to grade quickly. I sat back down in my seat and watched Sharpay go up to the front and hand him her test which he sat aside after looking at it.

I really hope you like it. Please review!

Amanda!
