AN: Okay. Yeah. I totally would put this story before my homework. I wrote this chapter during science today and after a math test. I was inspired. Okay but I'm done being Miss. Nice girl. I don't know how much I'm going to update now. But it will be soon. I just need ideas for CHAPTER 7. anyways. I got to start homework so that means I gotta stop typing.
Chapter 6
No way in hell Gabriella was going to do this project by herself. This Troy Bolton kid hasn't been at school for 7 days and the project was due in two weeks. It wasn't really all that fair to her. She couldn't and wouldn't let this boy make her do all the 209 points worth of work. Never. Never in a million years, would she let this boy she never met ride on her. Never.
" Gabi! Gabi! The bell rang come on or you'll be late!" Shouted Taylor.
" Sorry. I was thinking about how I'm going to do my science project." Gabriella said as she and Taylor walked out of the math room.
" Who's your partner?" Taylor asked as they made there way down the busy hallway.
"Troy Bolton. I don't even think he goes here anymore and I can't do this all by myself. I'll fail and that would be the first "F" in my life and --"
" Gabi! CHILL OUT! I'll help you with your project. Just go and tell Mrs. Hughes that your partner hasn't been here. She'll understand." Taylor said trying to calm her friend down.
"I'll try, but then you'll have to do two projects. Ones hard enough." Gabriella stated.
"I'll live. And hey. What are friends for? I got to get to class but I'll see you after school." Taylor said before she walked away.
" 'Kay see ya!"
Gabriella really didn't want to have to do everything in the project. Sure she's done it before but that was because she was afraid of what the kids might do to her. She didn't even know this boy. It's not like he'll shove her in a closet. He wasn't even here. He never was. And from how everyone acted here. She knew he wouldn't do anything. This school wasn't like any other. It was different. The jocks hung out with the nerds. And the skaters hung out with the preps. It was just odd. It's nothing she's ever seen in her life. It was special. It was……
BAM!
Gabriella fell to the floor with a thud. Her books flew all over the hallway and careless teenagers kicked them around while they tried to get to class on time. She looked in front of her and saw the most beautiful eyes. They were so blue. Almost too good to be true.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going."
" Just get out of my way." Said the boy.
"I'm Gabriella Montez." Gabriella stuck her hand out.
" What do you want me to do? Help you up?" the boy asked rudely.
" No. I was just saying hi." Gabriella said timidly.
" Whatever. Just get out of my way." He said as he pushed past her.
"And that would be Troy Bolton." Said a voice.
Gabriella turned around and found Chad staring at her like she was a lost dog.
"You okay? He can be pretty harsh." Chad said as he helped her get off the floor.
"I'm great. I just can't believe he's my science partner." Gabriella said as she continued walking down the hallway.
"He's not that bad. Just don't get on his bad side. Here's your class. I'm gonna go. Text me if you need anything." Chad said before he walked away.
Gabriella walked to her lab table and sat down. There he was. Her partner for the next two weeks. The boy who she already hated. The boy that made her late to her first class on the first day. The boy that would become more than just the boy. But she didn't know that yet.
"You're my partner?" Troy asked as she set her things down on the table.
"Yes I am. Now I've already got the outline for the project down. All you have to do is work on the poster board and we're done." Gabriella said as she pulled what looked like a million papers out of her folder.
" Ha. No. Sorry. I'm not doing anything. I haven't learned any of this yet. I wasn't here. Remember?"
" No I don't remember because I didn't know you."
" Well then that's going to be a problem then isn't it? I'm not doing anything. Your doing all the work and I'm getting an "A". End of story."
"Good afternoon scientist! Lets not waste anytime talking today. Go ahead and start working on your projects." Said Mrs. Hughes.
"I'm not doing anything for you. You monkey." Gabriella said.
Troy just shook his head, " That the best you got?"
" Fine. Leave me alone you stupid druggie! This is due in two weeks. I don't have time to fight with you!" Gabriella said.
" What you just say to me bitch?" Troy asked.
It's that word. The word the ruined her life. The thing that breaks her heart when she hears it. A word that should be banned from everyone. The word that brought tears to her eyes.
Flashback
Gabriella was sitting in her play room at her house. She was currently 7 and was playing with some Barbies. Her parents haven't always gotten along so she didn't think that the fight that was going on between the two meant anything important.
Just as she was about to make Barbie put the cake in the oven she heard a crash. A loud crash. A crash like glass being thrown at a wall.
"WHATEVER YOUR PROBLEM IS, I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Shouted her mother.
"YOUR HOUSE! YOUR HOUSE! HAHA, I BELIEVE I PAID FOR THIS DAMN THING. YOU GET OUT!" Shouted her father.
" NO! I'M SICK OF YOU! GET OUT. NOW!" SCREAMED HER MOTHER.
Gabriella heard someone coming up the stairs who she assumed was her mother so she ran out to hug her. She hated when they fought like this. She rounded the corner expecting to see her mother. But instead it was her dad.
"Daddy. Where are you going?" Gabriella asked as she hung onto his leg.
"Gabriella get off my leg. NOW!" her father shouted in her face.
"But daddy. Where are you going?" Gabriella asked with tears in her eyes.
"You little bitch. I said GET OFF OF ME!" he said as he shoved the little girl off his leg. Making her slam into the wall.
That was the last time she ever saw that man who she used to call her father.
End FlashbackGabriella felt tears roll down her face. This was the last thing she wanted to do. Cry in front of everyone.
"Dude. Calm down. No need to cry." Troy said once he saw her crying.
But that only made her cry harder. No one understood the meaning that word had on her. Every time this happened she couldn't tell anyone about it. She couldn't control her feelings towards this word. It didn't matter if it was used against her or used against someone else. It killed her.
"BOLTON! What did you do to the poor girl?" The teacher screamed across the room causing everyone to stare at the pair sitting at the lab table.
Troy's hands shot up in the arm as if says don't shoot," Nothing I swear!"
" Out of here now!"
Troy got up and walked toward the door. But before stepping out of the room he turned around and said," I'm sorry Gabriella." And walked out.
No ones every heard him say sorry before. Not even when he was a good kid. He never felt bad for the things he did. But just seeing that girl cry broke the cold heart of Troy Bolton.
Facts about I'll cover you:
I got the idea of how Troy and Gabriella meet from something that has happened to me.
I got the idea of Troy saying "what do you want me to do? Help You up?" from my friend.
This chapter took me 30 minutes to write.
I got the idea of "the cold heart of Troy Bolton" from my favorite song Ice box.
Peace and Chicken :)
