Chapter 2

Five periods later Trop walked out to his car. After being kicked out of three classes on his first day. Troy was proud of himself. When troy was a freshman he did all oh his homework, studied for test, and was playing basketball.

All that has changed though, since last summer when she started smoking weed. When he arrived back at East High for his junior year Troy didn't go out for basketball. He was afraid that it would interfere with him smoking pot. The day that he told his dad he wasn't trying out for basketball was a dark cold day.

Flashback

"What do you mean your not trying out for basketball!" His own father the famous Jack Bolton screamed at Troy.

"I mean what I said, I'm not playing basketball anymore!" Troy said just as loud as Jack.

"No son of mine is going to have a bad reason for not playing basketball. What happened? You've played since you could walk." Jack said more calmly now.

"People change" was the only thing Troy said.

"Well, if you don't come up with a good reason then you can get the hell out of my house."

"Jack! Maybe he is tired of playing. You push him so hard at times. Troy, don't listen to your father." Said Lucile Bolton Troy's loving mother.

"No! He's right. I'm out." Troy said as he walked out the door.

End of flashback

That was the second time in his life he had been kicked out of his house. The first time Troy stayed with Chad for a week. The second time he stayed with Ricky. If it happens again, Troy doesn't know if his parents will let him back in.

After stopping by her locker Gabriella was on her way to the student parking lot. Today had been a long day. She was late to six out of seven of her classes. She sat by herself at lunch, got her locker shut in her face and got all her books thrown down the stairs.

At her old school, Gabriella was never bullied. She had a lot of friends and was well liked. Never had she had her books thrown down the stairs. She never had her locker slammed shut for no reason. She felt so lonely she wished she had her friends to talk to.

Flashback

Gabriella just heard that she will be moving to some town called Albuquerque, New Mexico during her senior year. Her and her mother have been arguing for the past half hour about how she had promised that they wouldn't move until Gabriella graduated High School.

"But mom you promised me!"

"I know Gabi, but my job. I'm sorry sweetie so so sorry." Anna her mother said

"Then let me stay with Jenny! I really don't want to start a new school for my senior year."

"Sweetie I know, but you have to. That wouldn't be fair for Jenny. Now that's final!."

"When are we leaving?" Gabriella asked with tears daring to fall.

"Two weeks." Anna said simply before heading upstairs, leaving Gabriella all alone.

"Okay." Gabriella said to herself and went outside.

End Flashback

Gabriella felt tears brimming her eyes as she thought of that day. The day where she had to say goodbye to all of her friends.

Gabriella unlocked her car and got in. As she was pulling out of the parking lot, she stopped at the stop sign only to have something thrown through her window.
