Chapter 4: Speak for Myself
Gabriella's POV
Unfortunately the weekend flew by and before I knew it I was sitting in my Volvo on Monday morning on my way to school. I turned on the radio and just listened to it the whole way to the gas station. As soon as I stopped I hopped out of my car and began my walk to school. As soon as I stepped on campus Kelsi came up to me.
"Hey Kels, what's up?"
"No much…sooo…" She stretched out the word and she had a curios face on. This can not be good.
"What?"
"Please please please do the talent show!" She begged.
"You really want me to do it don't you?"
"Yes…I know how much you love to sing! And you are really good!"
I let out a huge sigh. "Alright Kels…I'll write a song and then we can work on it together for the show."
"YAY!!" She jumped up and down and then hugged me tightly and then Taylor walked up to us and gave us a really weird look.
"Hey Tay." I said.
"Are you alright Gabs?" She asked with concern in her voice.
I let out a huge sigh, "Yeah I'm fine."
"What happened?" Kelsi asked just as we walked up the steps to East High and inside the door.
"EWW here comes the trash girl!" Mandy said then I looked up and there was a big picture of me lying down with the trash and covered in it. I sent Mandy a glare and then set off in a dead sprint towards the auditorium.
"GABS WAIT!" I heard Taylor call after me but I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. I needed to get away from this hell hole.
Troy's POV
The next morning I walked into East High and I saw Gabriella running away in a dead sprint. Man can she run fast and she looks good while she's doing it. Then I looked around and saw the whole school pointing and laughing at her. I looked up front again and saw Gabriella's two best friends. I walked towards them and they both sent me a death glare and the phrase if looks could kill…came to my mind.
I looked behind me and noticed all of the team following me. Typical. I stopped in front of Taylor and chuckled at her glare. "What happened here?" I asked and then the whole team started to laugh at a picture.
"I DON'T KNOW TROY! ASK MANDY!!" The African-American yelled and stormed off with the petite Caucasian brunette following her. I looked over towards where my team was looking and I saw a picture of Gabriella lying on the ground with sunglasses over her face and garbage all over her and she was lying next to the dumpsters. Whoa this has gone way too far…
LATER on I was sitting in drama class when the bell rang and I noticed Gabriella wasn't sitting in front of me. I raised my hand and Mrs. Darbus called on me. "Yes Mr. Bolton."
"Umm Mrs. Darbus I have to use the restroom." I stated sitting up straight in my seat.
"Go ahead Mr. Bolton." She motion and I stood up and walked out of the classroom into the quiet hallways and started to roam around. I walked past the auditorium and heard faint cries coming from inside. I walked into the auditorium and sat in the back row observing her. She was just sitting at the piano with her head on the keys. She then straightened up and put her fingers on the keys. She started to play a soft melody and then she began to sing.
(A/N: Again Pretend Gabriella wrote this.)
sha la la la la,
sha la la la la
you used to call me your angel,
said I was sent straight down from heaven
you'd hold me close in your arms
I love the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
I miss you,
I miss your smile
and I still shed a tear
every once in a while
and even though it's different now
you're still here somehow
my heart won't let you go
and I need you to know
I miss you
sha la la la la
I miss you
you used to call me your dreamer
and now I'm living out my dream
oh, how I wish you could see
everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
it's true that time is flying by too fast
I miss you,
I miss your smile
and I still shed a tear
every once in a while
and even though it's different now
you're still here somehow
my heart won't let you go
and I need you to know
I miss you
sha la la la la
I miss you
I know your in a better place, yeah
but I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know that your'e where you need to be
even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
and I still shed a tear
every once in a while
and even though it's different now

my heart won't let you go
and I need you to know
I miss you

I miss you
sha la la la la
I miss you
She finished the song and then she put her arm on the keys and put her head on her arm and began to cry again. What's that feeling in my stomach? Could it be guilt? She let out a loud sob. Yepp it's guilt. How could we all be so cruel to her?
I got up from my seat quietly and walked back down the hallway to Mrs. Darbus' classroom.
Gabriella's POV
I picked my head up from my arm and noticed it was free period. I heard footsteps on the stage and whipped around to see Kelsi walking towards me. "Gabs are you okay?" she asked quietly and then sat next to me on the piano bench.
"I'm the same everyday Kels, but I did start on my new song! Do you want to help me?" I asked hopefully so I wouldn't have to face the school just quite yet.
"Of course! Lets go!"
Troy's POV
I pulled into Gabriella's driveway again today at 6:55 and sat there thinking to myself. OK today Troy you are going to apologize to her. After seeing her this morning how can you not? Now go inside! I got out of my Hummer and my stomach started to churn. This may be harder than I thought. I walked up the pathway to her front door and ran the doorbell. Andrea opened the door with a smile on her face. "Hi Troy! Gabi's in her room, go on up."
"Thanks Andrea," I ran up to Gabriella's room and opened up her door. I saw her sitting on her bed in the same outfit as the one she wore after her shower on Friday except different colors. Is she trying to tempt me…especially since we are all alone in her room…
She was very concentrated on her guitar. She was strumming it and humming a sweet tune, but I have a feeling she wouldn't like me watching her, "Umm hi Gabriella."
Gabriella's POV
I looked up at the mention of my name and saw Troy standing there with his backpack on his shoulder, "How long have you been standing there?" I asked nervously. Please say he just go there.
Flashback-5 minutes earlier
I was thinking out loud, "Am I falling for Troy? How can I? When I saw him after school today we locked eyes and I think I felt something? Or did I? I can't fall for him! He is an insensitive jerk!
"Gabi you are freaking crazy"
I pulled out my guitar and started to play the chords for my song and began to hum along.
End Flashback…
"I just got here…" He said.
"Ok well let's get started."
He groaned, "Math?"
"Yepp let's go!"
ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER
"Man I hate math!" Troy whined.
"Like you hate me…" I mumbled hopefully quite for him not to hear.
"What'd you say?" Troy asked suddenly alert.
"umm noth-nothing…"I stuttered.
"Did you say like I hate you?"
"No I di-did-didn-didn't," I stuttered once again.
He let out a huge sigh and ran his had through his bronze hair. "Gabriella I don't hate you," he took in a huge breath. "Actually I would like to apologize."
"Huh?!" Is Troy Bolton really apologizing to me?
"I'm sorry…I've been a jerk to you." He said running his hand on the back of his neck now not meeting my eyes.
"You know what Troy! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!" He instantly met my eyes as I continued. "I DON'T WANT YOUR PITY! You won't stop! NO ONE WILL! This is another Trick! LEAVE! I'll see you tomorrow at seven!" I yelled at him and then turned away so I couldn't look in his blue eyes.
"Gabriella…" He started but I cut him off.
"LEAVE!!" I pointed to the door and he got up and gathered his stuff in his bag and then zipped it up and went to the door, but he stopped and turned around.
He held on to the door way with the other hand that wasn't holding onto his backpack. "I am truly sorry Gabriella." He said and then he disappeared from the doorway.
He's not sorry. None of them will ever be. They always pity me. No matter if he is sorry his friends would still treat me like dirt they walk on and they would pressure him to treat me like dirt too!! I HATE HIGH SCHOOL!!
Troy's POV
I walked out of Gabriella's house and walked down to my car. I hoped in the driver's seat and started the engine. I pulled out of her driveway and headed for my house.
No matter how sorry I am I think she's right…my friends would always pressure me to tease her and I would end up doing it. Why am I so peer pressured? Why am I stressing so much? It is Geeky Gabi! I sighed. NO she isn't Geeky Gabi. She is so beautiful and kind and everything in the world. She is perfect. WAIT TROY JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!!
I need to get rid of this stress. Maybe I will 'Talk' to a cheerleader tomorrow during free period.
