Secret Lovers
Chapter 5
"Listen geek" says a cheerleader pushing Gabriella into a locker
"Stay away from Troy. We don't care if your parents who are friends or if your friends yourself keep away from him if you know what is good for you" says the cheerleader roughly pushing Gabriella on the floor.
Gabriella gets up and tries to push though the circle of cheerleaders.
Amber grabs her by the neck, breaking the chain of the necklace Troy gave her and shoves her against the locker.
"Understand" says the cheerleader
"Go to hell" whispers Gabriella
"Excuse me" says the cheerleader
"I said go to hell. You don't scare me" says Gabriella
"Oh you should be scared you're the one going to hell" says the cheerleader before dropping Gabriella and walking off.
A cheerleader kicks Gabriella in the side and then the rest walk off.
Gabriella gets up.
"Gabriella" says Taylor
"I'm fine and not a word to Troy" says Gabriella
"Sure" says Taylor
By lunch time the whole school know about Gabriella's encounter with the cheerleaders including Troy who is not happy.
"Hey Troy" says Amber
"Leave me alone" says Troy
He spots Gabriella and goes over to her.
Gabriella spots Troy coming over to her and Amber watching glaring at Gabriella.
"Brie are you ok?" asks Troy
"I'm fine I've gotta go to class Troy" says Gabriella
"Hey what happened to your necklace?" asks Troy
"They broke it" says Gabriella pulling the necklace out of her pocket for Troy to see.
"I can get it fixed" says Troy taking the necklace off Gabriella.
"You'd better go if you want me in one piece" says Gabriella
"I will not let Amber hurt you" says Troy
"Too bad she already did" says Gabriella
"What where" says Troy
"Drop it Troy I'm ok" says Gabriella
Troy looks at Taylor who shakes her head.
"That's bull Brie" says Troy
"Ok my throat hurts a bit" says Gabriella
Troy pushes the collar of Gabriella jacket back to see bruise on her neck made by Amber's hand.
"Are you sure you ok" says Troy
"I'd be better if you hugged me but that will really annoying Amber and I'll be dead by the end of the day" says Gabriella
"Not on my watch" says Troy
Gabriella looks up at him confused.
"Brie we have the same classes together I'm walking you to and from each one. I am your personal escort home and to school" says Troy
Gabriella smiles.
"What about P.E in the locket room?" asks Taylor
"Brie you will be the first one in and out of that changing room" says Troy
"I'm really slow at getting dressed again" says Gabriella
"Now how about that hug" says Troy
The bell rings.
"I have to get to P.E" says Gabriella
"Let's go then" says Troy
Gabriella gets her P.E kit from her locker and her and Troy walk to P.E with Taylor.
Gabriella and Taylor go into the locker room to find Amber and the cheerleaders waiting for them.
Gabriella ignores them, gets changed and goes into the gym. Troy is already there with the basketball team.
"No hassle?" asks Troy
"They kept murmuring things as I got changed like she's fat" says Gabriella
"I can't say anything about that since I've never seen you but you're not fat Brie" says Troy
"I'm sorry I'm such a wimp" whispers Gabriella
Troy knows what she is talking about.
"Brie your not ready and I respect that I told you I'd wait and I will. I love you" whispers Troy
"MONTEZ BOLTON" shouts Troy's dad
Troy and Gabriella look up to find the whole gym class looking at them
"Sorry Coach" says Troy
They join the huddle.
"Today we are going to learn how to play rugby" says Coach Bolton
Gabriella inwardly groans as she sees Amber smirk.
"It involves a lot of physical strength you have to work hard to be good, you will get muddy and you may get minor injuries" says Coach Bolton
They all walk onto the field.
"For safety reasons we are go to play girls vs girls and boys vs boys" says Coach Bolton
Amber slyly trips Gabriella up but Troy catches her before she can hit the ground.
"You ok?" asks Troy
"Fine" says Gabriella
"Is there a problem Miss Turner?" asks Coach Bolton
"No Coach Bolton" says Amber
"Then why did you feel the need to trip Miss Montez up?" asks Coach Bolton
"My foot slipped in the mud it was an accident. Sorry Gabriella" says Amber
"Accident my arse" mutters Troy who then gets a jab in the stomach from Gabriella
"Right we shall begin" says Coach Bolton
Coach Bolton teaches them how to play rugby amber knocks Gabriella over a lot. As they are coming off the field.
"Lunch rooftop chocolate cake my treat" whispers Troy
Gabriella nods
On the rooftop
"You ok?" asks Troy
Gabriella nods
"You sure?" asks Troy
Gabriella nods
Troy wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.
"She's an idiot and you have me to protect me" says Troy
"You promise?" asks Gabriella
"I promise" says Troy
"I don't know why it's getting to me I've been preparing myself for the cheerleader on slaughter but I guess I never thought it would be this bad" says Gabriella
"What do you mean?" asks Troy
"I knew that when they found out that we we're friends I knew that they would do something like call me names and verbally abuse me I never thought they'd use physical violence" says Gabriella
Troy pulls her closer and starts stroking her hair.
"I just can't deal with it right now Troy not with my Gran dying yesterday and Amber having a go at me today it's too much" cries Gabriella
"You just have to be strong until the end of the day 2 more lessons and both with me" says Troy
"I can't" says Gabriella
"Do you know what?" asks Troy
"What" says Gabriella
"I believe in you and I believe that you can make it though the day" says Troy
"You always say the right things" says Gabriella
"Ready to face the world?" asks Troy
"With you?" asks Gabriella
"With me" confirms Troy
Gabriella nods.
"Come on" says Troy
They walk down the stairs and go into the halls. They walk to Gabriella's locker and then Troy's with the basketball pushing Gabriella away and into Amber.
"Watch where you going geek" says Amber pushing Gabriella away from him straight into Troy who steadies her.
"What is your problem?" asks Gabriella
"You" says Amber
"Why?" asks Gabriella
"We've been though this already Troy your friends with Troy and no one likes it not even Taylor but she doesn't have any friends and she dones't want to lose you by telling you she hates Bolton. Stay away from him or you'll get it" says Amber
"Slight problem there" says Gabriella
"What?" asks Amber
"You don't have authority over me and you can't tell me what to do I will stay friends with Troy and you can get over it" says Gabriella
"And what if I don't get over it" says Amber
"Then that is your problem not mine" says Gabriella and walks off with Troy next to her.
"I'm proud of you" says Troy
"She's not going to leave me alone is she" says Gabriella
"Not unless you ditch me" says Troy
"Not happening" says Gabriella
"I wasn't saying it was Brie" says Troy
"Come on let's go to class" says Gabriella
"Yeah class" says Troy
"Troy what's up?" asks Gabriella
"Nothing just worried about you" says Troy
"Well there is no need" says Gabriella
"Yes there is" says Troy
"Are you saying I can't protect myself Troy" says Gabriella
"You can you can I just like to protect you it's part of my job description" says Troy
"Think before you speak" says Gabriella and walks into class
"Clever Troy" thinks Troy before walking into class
Gabriella phone buzzes just before the teacher comes in.
Brie I didn't mean for it to sound like you can't fight your own battles you can stand up for yourself I know that but I still protecting you from things.
Love you
Troy
