Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and characters not appearing in the DCOM High School Musical.
Summary: Troy? Golden Boy of East High. Basketball Captain. Always gets what he wants. Gabriella? Head cheerleader. Very intelligent. Not to be crossed. Troy and Gabriella? Most notorious rivalry of East High School. Known to hate each other with a passion. Change? Coming soon, with a vengeance.
A few people were confused, so I'm putting this in as an explanation.
Troy and Gabriella got together after the auditions.
They broke up the summer after sophomore year, making them together for about 6 months.
Auditions were in January, they broke up that summer, hence, 6 months roughly.
The 'it' Gabriella brings up in Chapter 1 is different from the 'it' Troy brings up in Chapter 2.
Junior year, Troy and Sharpay casually dated. The feud between Troy and Gabriella started then in junior year, on the very first day. Sharpay was and is not the cause of the feud.
Gabriella became head cheerleader, and captain of the step team. The fight became huge, through the whole school.
Either you were for Bolton, or you were for Montez. (Think the gangs in West Side Story, or other huge rivalry gangs.)
Then there were neutrals. People who honestly didn't care.
Sharpay and Ryan, and a few of their friends were the go-betweens. They weren't neutral, but they weren't on either side. They hung out with both sides, and because they were so popular, no one disputed this.
Sharpay and Gabriella are friendly, but not quite friends. Troy takes Sharpay seriously, he listens to her. Ryan thinks both of them are making a mistake.
Taylor and Chad actually have no past together, despite what I said previously, they just hate each other because their best friends hate each other.
I hope that clears some things up! Thanks for reading!
Chapter 3
Gabriella walked into the classroom, applying gentle but steady pressure to her wrist with the ice pack.
As the door opened softly, any cheerleaders in the room looked up, expecting Gabriella.
When she entered, they smiled and waved. She waved back, smiled, and went to sit by them.
"Gabriella...what's wrong with your wrist?" Amy hissed from behind Gabriella.
"Nothing. Well, actually...I had a mini-run in with Bolton." Gabriella conceded.
"That son of a-" Julie started, but was silenced by the look Gabriella gave her.
"Just...don't bring it up. I can't stand him!" She suddenly whispered furiously.
"Gabriella...what do you think Bolton and Danforth are talking about?" Kim asked quietly.
"I don't know..." Gabriella said, shifting in her seat to get a better view.
Troy and Chad were talking quietly, and Troy had an angry expression on his face. Chad looked worried about something.
Troy whispered something, looked guilty, and Chad's jaw dropped.
Gabriella giggled. "That's not a very good look for Danforth is it girls?" She said softly.
They tittered behind their hands, stealing glances at the basketball players across the room.
As class got out, Gabriella and her clique walked to the lockers to meet Taylor.
"Hey Taylor." Gabriella greeted her best friend.
"Hey! What's wrong with your wrist." Taylor demanded, the ice pack catching her eye.
Gabriella looked uncomfortable, and said nothing.
"Gabs what happened?" She asked again.
Amy piped up loudly, "It was Bolton." Taylor's eyes widened.
"Girl what did he do to you?" Taylor asked.
"I don't want to talk about it. Not now at least." Gabriella avoided the questions.
Suddenly, looking up, something, or rather someone caught her eye.
"What is Victoria doing over there, talking to the basketball team." She said icily.
"WHAT?" The squad yelled, spinning around. Sure enough, Victoria was standing against one of the player's lockers, twirling a braid around her finger, smiling flirtatiously, and whispering something to one of the junior varsity players.
Gabriella walked over to her.
"Hey Victoria!" She said in a peppy voice, before shooting the boy a glare.
"Oh! Hi...Gabriella!" The blonde girl squeaked, glancing at the boy, who's eyes had widened in fear.
"You can go now. Tell Bolton next time I won't be so generous." Gabriella hissed at the boy.
He nodded, and stumbled off. Victoria was shaking. "Gabriella he's really nice and I really like him and..."
"And?" Gabriella asked, her eyes widening. "Your point?"
"Well if you would just give him one chance, I mean I really like him and-"
Gabriella held out one finger, and Victoria fell silent.
"Is he on the varsity or junior varsity?" She asked quietly.
"He's on the...the...junior varsity." Victoria stuttered, holding her breath.
"Well...what do I care. Go ahead. I don't give a damn about junior varsity shrimps." Gabriella moaned, falling in a slump against the lockers.
Victoria smiled and ran off. The other girls looked at each other in shock, before saying softly "Gabriella, we're going...we'll see you at lunch?"
She nodded, her eyes closed.
They walked away. Gabriella's eyes were still closed, so she didn't see Chad walk up.
"Gabriella." He whispered, looking around.
"That's Montez to you Danforth." She hissed, keeping her eyes shut.
"No. Gabriella, did Troy hurt you?" He asked, sinking down next to her.
She opened one eye, then shut it again.
"Fine...Chad...yes he hurt me. My wrist is sprained, and I've got some nasty bruises in the shape of his hand on my waist." She admitted, willing herself not to cry.
"He feels bad about it." Chad tried to convince her.
"No he doesn't. Now get out of here before Bolton sees us talking." Gabriella pleaded, her eyes firmly shut.
"Fine. Are you sure you're OK?"
"I never said I was OK to begin with." Gabriella whispered, as Chad walked off.
Troy came down the hall 2 minutes after Chad disappeared.
Seeing Gabriella, he kept quiet.
She groaned, and slid down the lockers.
"That was actually pretty sexy Montez." He commented, looking down at her.
"Bolton. What the hell do you want? To sprain my other wrist?" She spat, not opening her eyes.
"It's sprained? Gosh, I'm sorry Montez. Maybe if you hadn't provoked me." Troy commented, sliding down the lockers as well.
"Provoked you? I was walking!" Gabriella exclaimed, opening one eye to glare at him.
"Exactly. It was a very sexy walk Miss Montez. I suggest you tone it down, or some freshmen might start passing out." He muttered.
"Well if my walking provokes you...I think we have some things to discuss."
"First of all. Please stop terrifying my junior varsity players. Albert ran into me, practically crying." Troy added, grinning.
"He deserved it. He was flirting with MY junior varsity cheerleader." Gabriella muttered.
"But what do we have to talk about exactly?" Troy asked, confused.
"How exactly do you feel about me?" Gabriella asked, closing her eyes again, sort of afraid of the answer.
"Well Montez, I sort of kind of despise you!" Troy answered in a cheerful voice.
Gabriella laughed. "Seriously."
"Honestly? I'm used to getting what ever I want. And currently, I want you." Troy said.
"Currently, you want me?" Gabriella said in disbelief. "I cannot believe you just said that."
"Let me finish Montez. You're hot. Really hot. And I love everything about you. But at the same time, I hate you. I hate everything I love about you. I can't stand it." Troy said honestly.
"So I was right. Bolton has a thing for the head cheerleader." Gabriella sighed.
"Sort of yes. I mean, I love the head cheerleader. But at the same time, she pushes me and pushes me and I hate her."
"Interesting. Well Bolton, as nice as this conversation has been, I'm going to lunch. Don't follow me."
"Don't forget Montez. What Troy wants, Troy gets. Troy always gets what he wants." Troy called after her.
"Too bad. This girl's not interested." Gabriella called, not turning around, but only swinging her hips.
Troy groaned and stood up.
"I told you not to follow me." She said, still walking away, not looking back.
"And you thought I would listen?" Troy asked dubiously.
"Yes..."
" You were wrong. You also said that I wouldn't get you." Troy said, enjoying this.
"Your point Bolton?" Gabriella snapped, turning around to face him.
"You were wrong about that too." Troy said, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her into him.
"I...want...you...to...let...me...go!" She whispered, struggling against him.
"Tough." He replied, kissing her forcefully.
Her eyes slid shut, and her hands wrapped around his neck as she kissed him back.
After a few moments, she pulled away sharply.
"I told you I would win you over, Montez." Troy murmured, brushing away a strand of hair from her face.
"Ah, but you see, that is what it would have been like, if you had won me over." Gabriella said with a grin, walking away down the hall, leaving Troy standing there.
"You play dirty Montez!" He called after her, grinning slightly.
"If I play dirty, then you better get ready to get pretty damn muddy yourself Bolton." She shot back, smirking as she walked away, her hips swaying.
LONGEST CHAPTER SO FAR! YAY! Please review. Slight Troyella, only to be broken up by Gabriella's sarcastic and cruel remarks. Haha. Hope you enjoyed, please tell me what you thought!
