A/N I DO NOT OWN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT!

I'm sorry in advance but this is a really short chapter. I need you guys to help me decide Hunter's fate. Once I know that much I'll be able to continue with this story. Until then I'm not sure where to go. My ideas for Huner were either he goes to live with his mom full time and sees his dad like once every other month or something, or the other idea is jail. But he is only 17 I'm not sure what that would mean in terms of him going to jail. I don't want Hunter dead, as much as we would all like him to be lol ;) anyway please help me decide what to do with Hunter. On with the story.

Monday came faster than Gabriella would have liked. Before she knew it she was standing outside her school. Her hands were up behind her head, like she was preparing to be searched by a cop.

"Baby, relax, I'm here." Troy said.

"I know everyone is going to laugh at me."

"I'll deal with anyone who hurts you."

Gabriella sighed.

"Come on, lower your arms baby girl."

"Everyone is going to see my scar."

"You can't have your arms like that all day."

"Yes, I can, there is no rule against it."

Troy sighed, then he got an idea and smirked. "Fine, you leave me with no other choice. Lower your arms or the tickle monster is going to get you."

Groaning Gabriella dropped her hands. Troy chuckled. "I promise baby girl, I'm right here. You're going to be ok."

"Just please promise me you won't leave me." She said softly.

"I promise, I'm not going anywhere."

The two walked hand and hand inside. The second the door closed behind them Gabriella felt trapped and people started whisper and point at them.

"Tr-Troy…" Gabriella whimpered.

"Shhh, Baby. It's ok. I'm here." Troy soothed

He pulled her into his arms. She buried her face in his chest.

"I want to go home, Troy please."

"Hang in there, Baby. I'm right here. If you still want to go home at lunch I'll take you but at least try to make it through 1st and 2nd period."

"I want you to stay with me."

"I'll be with you till after homeroom then you'll have Taylor with you until lunch. Then you'll see me again. It's just an hour."

"Ok…."

They continued to walk to their locker and get their books. The ignored the whispers and stares they were getting. Homeroom went by quickly and easily. After homeroom Troy went with Gabriella to her room.

"I'll be right out here when you get done. If you get out early just come wait for me outside the gym."

"Ok."

Troy kissed her and headed to the gym. Gabriella went inside to her class.

After practice Troy left the gym but he noticed two figures sitting against the wall right outside the gym. He turned to look at them. "Taylor, what's going on?"

Gabriella was sitting up in a fetal position with her face buried in her knees and her hands up covering the back of her head. Troy was instantly down by her side holding her close in his arms.

"Everything was going fine in math, Gabby and I sat in the back this time, but then the teacher called Gabriella up to solve a math problem on the board. At first it was just some harmless questions, you know, like 'are you ok' 'what happen' 'can I help you in anyway' harmless stuff like that. Then the Ice Queen opened her mouth."

Troy sighed. "Sharpay, said something?"

Taylor nodded. "She started saying Gabriella was really a boy, saying she had been lying to everyone. telling everyone she was going to be completely bold and just all this really mean and nasty and then just when I though Sharpay couldn't get any meaner she did the number one worst thing."

Troy sighed. "She brought up Carlos?"

Taylor nodded. "She was saying that Carlos knew the truth and he couldn't handle it so he we out drinking and got drunk, crashed his car, and killed himself. She told Gabriella she was so ugly that her own father would be ashamed of her and that he wouldn't even want to consider her his daughter anymore."

Troy held Gabriella tighter. She was shaking and Troy knew it meant she had started to cry.

"So, what happen?"

"Well, the teacher told Gabriella she could go sit down but Gabriella was too upset to so she just stood there, I think a part of her was in shock, He allowed me to take Gabriella out. We've been sitting out here ever since, Gabriella pulled herself into this ball and I haven't been able to get her out of it."

"Bringing Carlos into this was the worst thing Sharpay could have said." Troy sighed. He looked to Gabriella. "Hey, Baby Girl, everything is ok now. It's just Taylor and I. We're not going to judge you or laugh at you. Can you please look at me?"

Gabriella just continued to cry.

"Baby, what Sharpay said about your father was mean and not true. You're father loves you, no matter what you look like. Plus from the stories I've heard I'm sure he'd be giving your cut so many kisses you'd feel all better."

Gabriella slowly started to calm down. So Troy continued. "He'd hold you in his arms, he whisper sweet words to you then he'd kiss your head over and over again. Then he'd sing your favorite lullaby. He'd kiss your head a few more times and he'd tell you how beautiful you were and how lucky he was to have you as a daughter."

Gabriella sniffed and finally looked up at Troy. He smiled and used his thumb to wipe away her tears.

"Then, he'd finish things off with a nice big tickle attack in your secret ticklish spot."

Gabriella smiled softly, "You only knew him for a short time before he died but you know him so well."

"You've told me so much about him I feel like I've known him my whole life, plus it's what I would do."

His hands went to her sides lightly tickling her, making her giggle and bring her arms back down.

"I told you, the tickle monster was going to get you." He teased as she stopped and just held her. She cuddled into him and let out a content sigh.

"Are you ok to finish out the day?" Troy asked as he kissed her forehead.

She shook her head. "Can you take me home, please? I hate being her."

"Ok, can you stand?"

She nodded and they both stood up.

"Thank for keeping an eye on her Tay, but I'm just going to take her home."

Taylor nodded. "I understand."

Troy lifted Gabriella and carried her bridal style out of the school. It was official this was the worst school day ever. Everyone on the team, minus his friends, told him to break up with Gabriella before his reputation was ruined and he refused they got angry and started to get angry with him. He knew Gabriella had worse but it was still a horrible day.

A/N bad ending I know I'm sorry but I don't know where to go from here. Not until I know what to do with Hunter. So please let me know, should he go to his moms or should he go to jail? I'm also open to any new ideas if you want to pm with any ideas that's fine too, but I need some helps. Other wise this story won't be finished.
