Previously on "The New Girl"
Troy mouthed 'What?' to Gabby.
"If you don't like Samantha, who do you like?" She asked as quietly as she could.
Troy was about to respond, when the teacher caught them again.
"Troy! Gabriella! If I have to call you out one more time, you will both get detention!"
Gabriella bit her lip. She had never received detention in her whole life! Why start now?
Troy turned to her one last time before whispering a few words.
"The new girl."
The teacher slapped his pencil on the desk before yelling that one word they hated to hear.
"DETENTION!"
The New Girl Chapter Four
Sharpay made her way to what she thought was the English classroom on her first day. It seemed like someone just added extra hallways and doorways to confuse the students. She glanced down at her schedule to look at the room number. 204. She looked at the door numbers as she passed them.
"198….200…202…" Sharpay mumbled to herself. Of course she wasn't looking where she was going, which can't be good. BAM! Sharpay felt herself fall to the ground.
"Oww…" She rubbed her head. "What the-" Her gaze looked toward a boy in front of her.
"Oh man, I'm sorry." The boy lent her a hand.
Sharpay slowly reached for it and he pulled her up.
"It's okay." She looked the boy over. He looked to be about 5'11ish, with dark hair and eyes.
"I'm Zeke." He smiled.
"Sharpay." They shook hands.
"Are you new?" Zeke wondered.
"Is it that obvious?" Sharpay laughed a little.
"Not really…" He trailed off. "Okay maybe it was a little." He joined her in laughing.
Sharpay smiled. "Yeah well, this school has about 50 hallways!"
"Yeah you'll figure it out sooner or later though."
"Hopefully." She
smiled and clutched her books. "Well…I better get to class before
I get detention on my first day."
"Yeah, that probably
wouldn't be good." Zeke grinned back. "I guess I'll talk to
you later then." He looked at her one last time before walking off.
Sharpay stood there for a second. 'He was really nice' she thought. 'And he didn't act totally disinterested either.'
She finally entered her first block classroom and took a random seat. The teacher entered and started calling roll.
"Oh and we have a new student today. Her name is Sharpay Evans. Sharpay?" The teacher's eyes scanned the room over.
"Um…right here." Sharpay nervously raised her hand slightly.
Everyone turned to look at the unfamiliar face.
"Ah Sharpay. Welcome to East High then." The teacher gave her a warm smile and continued with the roll. A student sitting next to Sharpay smoothly leaned toward her.
"Hi, I'm Kelsi." The brunette smiled.
"Hey Kelsi. Nice to meet you." Sharpay returned the gesture.
"So I saw you talking to Troy Bolton earlier." Kelsi raised an eyebrow.
"Troy?" Sharpay questioned. Then she remembered the cute boy from earlier. "Oh right, Troy."
"Yeah." Kelsi
nodded. "He looked interested in you."
"Really?" She got
more into the conversation. I mean, hello? An extremely good-looking
guy likes you?
"Yeah, your lucky. He is like the most popular guy in school. Everybody likes him."
"Wow, he seemed so nice." Sharpay thought about Troy.
"Well, he is. It's just…he doesn't really date girls for that long." She tried to think of an interesting way to say it.
"What do you mean?"
"Well…he is kind-of a player."
"Oh." Sharpay felt disappointed.
"Yeah, but maybe he will be different." Kelsi tried to make her feel better.
"Yeah." Sharpay slid back into her seat. "Maybe."
The bell rang an hour later and Sharpay made her way out of the classroom.
"Thanks Kelsi." Sharpay smiled. "I'll talk to you later!"
"Bye Sharpay!" She waved and they went their separate ways. Sharpay lazily walked to her locker and looked at her schedule. So far she had met a lot of people and hadn't made a fool of herself. That had to be a new record!
"Hey Sharpay!" Someone called her name. She turned toward the direction of the voice.
"Hi Troy." She couldn't help but smile, even though she had just heard some interesting news about him.
"How's it going?" He wondered. Sharpay noticed a dark-haired girl behind him.
"Oh, it's actually been pretty good." She eyed the girl.
"This is Gabriella." Troy introduced the girl.
"Oh, your girlfriend?"
"Oh god no." Troy and Gabriella gave each other gross looks. They had tried that once and realized it wasn't for them.
Sharpay giggled. "Oh…got ya."
"Yeah, were just good friends." Gabriella stepped in.
"Cool." Sharpay smiled at Gabby. "I'm Sharpay."
"Nice to meet you." They shook hands. "Troy told me about you…well that was before we got detention." She emphasized the word as she glared at Troy.
"Ooo Detention? Sorry to hear that."
"Yeah, someone doesn't know when to shut up." Gabriella nudged Troy.
"Hey you're the one who kept asking questions!" Troy argued back.
Before they could start going at it, Sharpay stepped in.
"Okay guys, before someone gets hurt." She joked.
"Sorry." They both muttered.
"Anyways…welcome to East High Sharpay and if you need any help just ask." Gabby mentioned and walked off.
Sharpay smiled and looked at Troy. "I like her."
Troy felt a rush of
relief go through him. "Whew, I was afraid you guys wouldn't be
friends or something. That would be tough."
"Hey, I can get
along with pretty much anybody."
Just then, three girls made there way through the hall, pretty much pushing everyone on the way.
"I wouldn't say that just yet…." Troy commented seeing the girls.
