Chapter 13

Recap

The guy's piercing blue eyes followed Gabriella with an unreadable smile as she turned the corner.

"How could he like me when I never even met him before?!" Gabriella thought as she continued to run to the gym where she knew Troy and the others will be.

End of Recap

Gabriella opened the gym door and saw all his friends there, staring at her, confused.

"What's wrong Gabi?" Troy said, jogging over to her.

"Some random guy came up to me and tried to give me a love letter. He somehow, kinda remind me of someone but I'm not sure yet. He creeps me out. He told me he liked me and I have never even met him yet, let alone know his name." Gabriella explained quickly, while Troy's eyes turned dark.

"Did he hurt you?" Troy asked.

"No but he always had this scary smile on his face." She said as Troy wrapped his arms around her.

"How did he look like?" Jason asked.

"He had a black hair and blue eyes. He looked one year older than us and I think he's new at this school 'cause I've never seen him here before." She explained.

"Just make sure that you'll never alone at school ok?" Troy said seriously and Gabriella nodded in response.

Troy walked Gabriella to her final class for the day. He didn't want to leave Gabriella walking alone.

"Wait for me here ok? Don't go alone in the school's entrance." Troy whispered and Gabriella smiled sweetly.

"Thanks for walking me. See you later." Gabriella, entering her Maths class.

Gabriella sat on her regular seat which was next to Mia.

"Hey Gaby!" Mia greeted with a smile.

"Hey Mia! What's up?" Gabriella smiled back.

"Nothing much but apparently, there's a new guy at school and they said that he's very handsome and could be as hot as Troy." Mia whispered, making sure that their teacher couldn't see or hear her.

"Is he in our grade?" Gabriella asked curiously.

"I think he's one year older than us." Mia informed and Gabriella's heart started pounding really fast.

"I think I have an idea who Mia's talking about." Gabriella thought and started to write the notes on the board.

A few minutes later, Gabriella heard their classroom door open. She didn't lift her head up to see who it was because she was too busy doing her work.

"Oh my gosh!" The girls mumbled as a certain guy barged in a door without knocking.

"Excuse me would---" The teacher started but the guy cut him off.

"I'll only take a minute." He said. Gabriella's head immediately shot up, hearing that voice.

"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked as the guy came face to face with her.

"I just wanted to ask you something. You just kinda ran off before." The guy chuckled.

"What do you want to ask me?" Gabriella asked, her voice cracking.

"Would you go out with me?" He smiled, genuinely while Gabriella and the other girls just stared at him, completely shocked.

"WHAT?! I don't know anything about you. I don't even know your name." Gabriella exclaimed.

"Oh right. Then I'll introduce my self. My name is Alexander Dave and I'm 17 years old. Need to know anything else?" Alexander asked Gabriella.

"No." She answered shortly.

"Would you go out with me now?" Alexander asked.

"Sorry but I can't go out with you because I like someone else." Gabriella replied and the guy's smile dropped immediately.

"Is it Troy?" He whispered so only Gabriella could hear.

"How does he know that? Is he stalking me?" Gabriella thought, not answering his question.

"If you like bad boys, ask Troy where he got his skills from." He whispered with a smile and walked off.

"What did he mean by that?" Gabriella sighed and didn't realised that practically every girl was staring at her in jealousy.

The bell went and Gabriella waited outside the classroom for Troy. Less than a minute, Troy arrived, ready to pick her up.

"Gabi are you ok?" Troy asked, nudging Gabriella.

"Oh what? Yeah I'm fine." Gabriella replied with a weak smile. Troy was totally not convinced but he decided to just leave it at that and ask her the questions later.

"Troy, remember the guy that I told you about in the gym?" Gabriella asked softly, on their way home.

"Yeah?" Troy said, without any readable expressions.

"He asked me out." Gabriella said as softly as possible. Troy immediately stomped on the break in the middle of the road.

"WHAT?! Who the hell does he think he is?" Troy yelled in anger.

"Troy don't worry I said no. But he does know that I like you. I think he's stalking me." Gabriella said, as she looked around the place.

"How could he know that? Only the gang knows about it." Troy said, confused.

"I don't know but he told me something…." She said, not sure if she should continue.

"What did he say?" He asked impatiently.

"He told me that if I like bad boys, ask you where you got your skills from." Gabriella explained, waiting for Troy's response.

Troy continued to drive without responding to Gabriella.

"It couldn't be him. Could it?" Troy thought. Gabriella knew that Troy was thinking about what she said so she didn't interrupt him or anything.

They finally arrived at their house and the first thing they saw when they entered was Troy's grandmother.

"Grandma?" Troy asked, confused.

"How's my grandson doing?" The grandma stood up slowly and hugged Troy.

"You must be Gabriella. A beautiful girl." The grandma smiled and hugged Gabriella too, who was a little surprised.

"What are you doing here grandma?" Troy asked, as they all sat on the couch.

"I just wanted to visit you. I haven't seen you in months." The grandma replied and Troy just shrugged.

"So Gabriella, I heard from Jack that you and Troy are pretty close. That really surprised me." Grandma Lyn said, looking at Troy who was rolling his eyes.

"Well, Troy isn't that bad." Gabriella giggled while Troy just glared at them.

"So, Gabriella do you have a boyfriend? Troy had never had a steady relationship with a girl and the way I see it, boy's are probably chasing you." Grandma Lyn said, catching both Troy and Gabriella off guard.

"Ummm…." Gabriella didn't know what to say. She turned her head to look at Troy who was also slightly shocked.

Grandma Lyn stared at Troy and Gabriella curiously.

"There's definitely something up with this two." She thought.

"I don't have a boyfriend." Gabriella answered softly and saw Troy sighed.

"Oh alright." Grandma Lyn said, obviously not convinced.

"How about you Troy?" Grandma Lyn asked but Troy just stood up and headed to the kitchen.

--------------------------------

The next day, Troy wouldn't leave Gabriella's side afraid that the guy she was talking about will hurt Gabriella.

"Do you know the name of the guy who's stalking you?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. His name is Alexander Dave." Gabriella answered and Troy practically stopped when he heard his name.

"That idiot!" Troy thought as his eyes turned darker than before.

"Do you know him?" She asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, I do." He answered angrily.

"Who is he?" She asked but didn't get any response. Troy was looking right at someone and it looked like he wanted to murder him.

"How you doing Troy?" Alexander smirked, walking towards them.

"Alex what are you doing here?" Troy asked, trying to stay calm.

"I'm trying to ask Gabriella out. You have a problem with that?" Alexander said while Troy just curved his hand in a ball.

"Yes I do." He answered. Gabriella on the other hand was so confused that all she could do was watch the two talk as if they know each other very well.

"You're being a very protective brother." Alex chuckled, keeping his cool.

"Yeah nothing like you ever did to your little brother!!" Troy spat angrily.

"Chill Troy! You don't need to bring that up and it wasn't my fault I wasn't a protective brother. My brother is a pure devil and he's the reason that my parents divorced." Alex said, also getting angry.

"Don't talk crap Alex. You're the reason they divorced." Troy yelled. He was turning red in anger.

"Then tell me why mom left dad huh?!" Alex shouted.

"Because you were a pain in the ass and mom couldn't handle the pressure. Dad was always at work and it made it more worse. Its nothing to do with me!" Troy yelled and suddenly, it all clicked to Gabriella. She gasped and couldn't move.

"No Troy! It was all your fault. Mom died because of you! She got sick because she was missing you badly. Every attention is on you Troy! Since we were small, mom and dad liked you already. You're the reason I turned into a devil. Mom took me with her instead of you because I always fight with you and she doesn't want you to get hurt!!" Alex explained, anger spilling in every word. Troy couldn't say anything to argue with this. He knew that Alex was right.

"I wished you weren't my little brother Troy!!!!" Alex yelled, punching Troy right on the cheek.
