"Oooh, and i'll believe that when everyone stops hurting me." She snapped. "Go find some girl to fuck with. Perhaps the girls you were holding at the meal area?" she smirked and walked away. How could she think that I already slept with someone? Maybe I was a superstar and a god at the school but I never once went past making out, no matter how many girls wanted it or how hot they were. This is not going to be easy to get her to forgive me.

Wow.. Well I sure showed Bolton. Crap. I took out my phone and saw that it's 8:56. I have 4 minutes to find the singing area. It's in the music area. I looked around in circles... and the music area is right there. I sighed in relief and started walking. I went inside the Music area just as the bell rings. Goodness. I went around the room to find the door that said Singing. As I walked I kept looking to my right, just because the room was in a circle, the doors were on the right. I either ran into someone or they hit me. I fell to the ground as my head hit something hard and everything went black...

I've never been insulted by a girl like that. And it sure didn't feel good. I groaned. I looked around to see everyone running. From or for what? Shit! I have guitar right now! I took out my phone and looked at the time right as I opened it. It was 8:58. I'm gonna be late. My blue eyes scanned the camp grounds and I saw a big building with a sign on it saying Music Area. I sprinted towards there and opened the door. I saw a girl walking around looking for her class. She had brown curly hair. Fuck. That's Gabriella. I looked around for the door to Guitar and I heard a loud thud. I looked around to see Gabriella on the ground against the wall. I ran over to her and looked at her.
"Gabriella?" I shook her. She's unconscious. I scooped her up bridal style and walked out of the music building and went straight to the nurse. (this place is like a school. But then not)
Gabriella started stirring as I got close to the nurses office. Gabriella's eyes fluttered open as she looked straight into my eyes. She struggled to get down.
"Let go of me!" she said moving around.
"No. Your going to the nurse" I said sternly.
"I'm going to my class. Let go of me!" She yelled.
"NO!" I yelled trying to keep her steady in my arms. She huffed and finally shut up.
Gabriella soon fell asleep again and I walked made to the door of the nurse. I looked at Gabriella. She looked so peaceful when she slept. I smiled and opened the door.
"Oh my, what happened Mr. Bolton?" The nurse asked. She already knew who I was. What a surprise..
"I don't know but she hit something. She was unconscious for a while but she woke up and fell asleep again" I explained.
"I'm sorry but I can't do anything. If she's woken up already she'll be fine" she said. What? She just hit her head on something! Shouldn't she be resting?
"Uh.. she's suppose to be resting isn't she?" I asked her hesitantly.
"Yes but today is the first day Mr. Bolton, she can't miss her class. Please wake her up and I will give you both a late pass." she informed me. The nurse walked behind her desk and got out a pad of notes and started filling two out.
"Gabriella" I said shaking her. She started stirring in her sleep. "Gabriella" I said louder. Gabriella shook her head. I groaned. "Get up!" I yelled but not too loudly. Gabriella opened her eyes and glared at me and got out of my grasp, stood up and walked to the nurse's front desk.
"Here you go Miss" The nurse said handing her pass and Gabriella took it and walked out. I shot up and got my pass and went out the door.
"Gabriella" I said trying to get her.
"What?" she hissed. "You should of left me there so I could die" she walked faster.
I jogged up to her. "Don't say that."
"Whatever" she said and walked off. I groaned again. I followed behind her. "Will you quit stalking me? Go stalk so blond skank" she insulted.
"First, im not stalking you, I have guitar this hour and second no I don't do that." I said sternly.
She glared at me and I gave a smile. I could tell by her eyes that she was confused. "What the fuck?"
"What?" I asked flatly.
"Stop bothering me" she said boldly.
"Why?" I asked.
I could tell I annoyed her and it was pretty funny. She huffed. "You need to stop bothering me and go do something else" she said trying to contain her anger. She had fire in her chocolate brown eyes. I put my hand up defeated and walked backwards a couple steps. She smirked and stalked off.

I could say singing was pretty fun today actually. I liked it a lot. The teacher was nice and everyone else just doesn't really seem to care. There were barely any guys in that class and that was a great advantage! There was nothing fun about lunch either. Just a lot of talk about Troy Bolton and his friends. Its pretty stupid, I say. I was walking to basketball when I ran into someone and fell to the ground. What is it with hitting stuff and falling?
"Uhh sorry I didn't mean for that to happen" a low voice said.
"Its fine" I smiled and stood up brushing off the dirt off my clothes. I looked up to see an African American guy. He was pretty tall and very built up. I've seen him some where but I just can't put my finger on it. He smiled at me with his white teeth as I did the same back.
"What's your name?" he asked looking both ways then at me.
"Gabriella Montez and you?" I asked holding out my hand.
"Zeke Baylor" he smiled and shook my hand.
"Wait.. you're one of the basketball players with Troy Bolton?" I asked shock. He looked at me fearfully and I knew the reason. "Don't worry.. im not a huge fan... no offense. He's a big arrogant jerk. No offense"
He chuckled and I giggled nervously. "Its fine. He can be like that at time, I hate it too."
"Try being bullied everyday by him" I mumbled. I guess he heard it because he looked straight at me with a serious face.
"He bullied you?" Zeke asked.
"Yeah.."I said barely audible. "Called me geeky gabi and other trashy names" I said shuttering at the memories.
He was pretty surprised with the look he gave me. "Wait.. you were the one that was bulled everyday by us basketball players?" My eyes widened in shock. Shit. I started walking backwards slowly. I nodded my head no. He started walking towards me. "I'm really sorry Gabriella." he said looking very sincerely.
"I don't know.." I said still in shock.
"When im sorry, I really mean it." he informed me. I stood still and cocked my head one way and looked at him weirdly. "Really"
I sighed. "You maybe but everyone else probably isn't." I said aloud.
"At least one counts right?" He asked looking straight into my eyes. I lowered my head giving my shoes and the dirt my full attention. I kept quiet. "Well im sorry Gabriella, but i've changed. Could you please forgive me? I don't think I could go on with my day knowing that I use to hurt you."
"I'll think about it okay?" I asked looking at the time on my phone. 1:15 pm.
"Yeah. Could you just tell me like at dinner or come to my cabin later tonight?" Weird. Ha ha! Go to his cabin? I dont know.
"Uhm." I said giving it a thought. "If I don't find you at dinner then i'll go to your cabin. What's your cabin room?" I asked full of uncertainty.
"CB14" He said thinking for a bit.
"Oh. Easy enough to remember..." I said storing it in my brain. "This isn't a joke right? Because if it is I swear-"
He chuckled. "Don't worry. It's not. I promise." He smiled.
"Okay. Well I gotta get going. Nice seeing you again Zeke" I smiled.
"Yeah. You too! And sorry again." he chuckled. I nodded and walked off to basketball. Now let's hope that Troy or Chad isn't in this class. Please don't let them.
"Okay, Well today we'll be just messing around and shooting some hoops." The instructor said. Shit. I shouldn't of wore a tube top! Damn it. "I want everyone to go with their groups. Head leader for group A is Troy Bolton. He named off the rest while I was in shock. Troy Bolton!? This is great. Just great. I shook my head and reluctantly walked to Troy with a couple of girls around him. Ugh. Sick Bastard! Good thing he hasn't seen me yet! I walked over to the instructor.
"Can I take of my top? I have a swim suit top on" I said quickly.
"Why?" He asked going down a list.
"I don't want it to fall?" I questioned more.
"Fine. Go put it on the bench over there." He said. I nodded and jogged over there.
"Gabriella Montez?" He shouted. He was doing roll and as I took off my top and put it on the bench he yelled my name. I shot my hand up and yelled.
"Right Here!" I yelled jogging back to my group. I could tell someones eyes were on me, and for a hint, they were blue and very electrifying. I rolled my eyes knowing he was looking at my body.
X...X Camp Destiny X...X
Woah. Gabriella doesn't look bad. I shook my head trying to keep my eyes away from her but I just couldn't stop staring.
"Hey coach." A familiar voice said. I looked away from Gabriella one moment and notice half the girls took off their shirts only to see their bra. And of course the guys were staring. I shook my head no, shamelessly and chuckled. Stupid. Once they see Gabriella and notice im staring at her they do the same. I looked at the coach to see Zeke.
"Yo Zeke!" I yelled getting everyones attention.
He looked up at me and nodded. Before he returned to talking to the coach he smiled at a girl. I looked directly at where he was smiling and it came up to Gabriella. What the fuck?
With Zeke
"Hey Coach" I said trying to talk to the instructor of basketball this year. I looked up and saw most of the girls with their bra's on. That's pretty funny. Either Troy saw some girl already with a bra on and stared at her and get him to stare at others but he was looking at someone specifically.
"Yo Zeke!" I heard Troy yell. I nodded and looked to his far left and saw Gabriella standing and holding a basketball, with a bikini top on. I'm sure she was the first one to take off her top. I smiled at her and she returned the smile.
"I got my schedule changed for this week. So I have basketball this hour." I informed the coach.
He nodded. "What's your group letter?"
"Uhh...C" I remembered.
"Okay, well I need you in group A for this week in basketball because it's too crowded in group C. So go to Troy" he explained. I nodded and walked off.
I walked towards Troy but then I saw Gabriella and took a different route.
What the fuck? Troy thought
X...X Camp Destiny X...X
What's funny is that everyone started taking off their shirt and showing their bra for Troy. That's just ridiculous. I heard Troy yelled Zeke's name so I looked up and saw Zeke. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I could tell Troy was looking at me again and I rolled my eyes.
I was ready to shoot some hoops. I could say im very good at basketball but not too well. I can play and its funny that no one knew.
Zeke made his way to Troy and I stared out into the blue sky. I felt a presence coming towards me and I jumped back as soon as he was right in front of me.
"Sorry to scare you" he said rubbing his neck.
"It's fine Zeke. So what did you want?" I asked playing with the basketball in my arms.
"Did you think about it yet?" He asked eagerly.
I giggled slightly. "Zeke its only been like a couple minutes! It has to take longer than that!" I said.
He huffed. "Fine. Just tell me at dinner okay?"
"Yes sir!" I joked. He started walking towards Troy.
"You better think about it!" he said yelling turning towards me again.
"Okay!" I giggled. He nodded and started talking to Troy.
X...X Camp Destiny X...X
"What sup dude?" Zeke asked turned towards me.
"What were you and Montez talking about?" I asked curiously.
Zeke raised an eyebrow. "Nothing. Don't worry about it" He said walking to get a ball.
"Well it didn't seem like nothing." I said sternly.
"Whatever dude lets play some hoops!" he said excitedly.
"All groups line up behind the 3 pointer line on the court I assigned your group!" Coach yelled.
We all went behind the three pointer line. It was me first and Zeke and who else knows the rest? I shot the ball into the net. Swishhhhh. Nothin but net. I smiled and stood next to the line.
Zeke shot the ball right into the net, just like the same drill I did. We did our guy handshake and stood next to each other again. Half the people in our group tried to shoot a basket only about 3 made it in from the three pointer line and most of the girls were just trying to show off. It was funny actually. Zeke and I were still waiting for all of them to finish. Only 2 people left and Gabriella was next. I could tell Zeke was watching her tensely and I started doing the same. She threw the ball into the basket and Swishhhhh. In it goes and Zeke and I unintentionally clapped. Gabriella's cheek erupted with pink as she was blushing and walked into the back of the line.
Basketball went by pretty fast for 3 hours. Zeke and I of course, made all the shots we needed to. As well Gabriella did the same and I was quite impressed. Our 10 minutes passing time went by quick as well. I was already in my swim trunks waiting at the pool for the rest of the people to arrive for the lesson. I was waiting at the end of the pool with my feet dangling in the pool. I heard foot steps beside me and turned. I was met with Gabriella's brown eyes. As soon as I saw her brown eyes she fixed her eyes in front of her and kept walking. What is her problem? She just needs to let it slide.
The swim instructor blew his whistle and I stood up and walked over to him. Everyone crowded around the instructor waiting for him to talk. As everyone quieted down he spoke. "Everyone knows how to swim right?" he asked scanning the crowd. There were mumbles of yes and nods from everyone. "Okay, well today we just have free swimming. So just enjoy your time for today, we'll have drills starting tomorrow" the instructor informed us. Everyone nodded and the big crowd started to disperse. Girls started coming up to me and smiling.
"Uhh...hi?" I said not knowing what to say.
"hello troy" they said batting their eyelashes. I chuckled nervously.
"Do you want to swim with us?" A blond girl asked.
I have no one else to hang with...for now. "Why not?" I said a little unsure. The girls squealed and pushed me in the pool with the girls jumping in right after.
X...X Camp Destiny X...X
Right after everyone started disappearing into the pool I walked over to the outside tables and took off my shorts and top. I slipped off my flip flops and ran and jumped into the pool excitedly. Once I resurfaced I swam out into the middle underwater and ran into someone. I struggled to get up as someone grabbed my waist and pulled me up with them. Once I came above the water I tried breathing normally. I swam to the shallow area where I could stand. After a few minutes I started breathing normally again. The person I bumped into confronted me, I didn't really notice who it was at first.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" The male voice asked frantically.
"No, im sorry I should of watched where I was going underwater." I said taking the full blame.
"G-Gabriella?" The guy i ran into asked. I looked up to meet pure green eyes.
"J-Jason?!" Please. Let it be Jason! Jason Cross(pretend he's never friends with Troy in the first place) He was my first boyfriend in 7th grade until I had to move. We were great friends before we dated and we lost touch. I was miserable with out him.
"I can't believe its you!" He exclaimed.
"I know I missed you so much!" I giggled and he pulled me into a tight embrace. I pulled back and looked at him. His green eyes were shining more than ever and he looked like he already shaves. He looks so much older from the last time I saw him but way more cuter. Ha-ha.
"You look great Gabs" he smiled.
"You look great too" I giggled.
"Do you wanna get out of the pool to talk?" He asked. He let go of my waist and I looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah" We walked out of the pool and sat on top of the outside tables facing the pool. "So I didn't know you were going to this camp"
"Same here" he said with a nervous chuckle. "So whats new?"
"Hmm" I pretended to think. "If being a bitch to Troy Bolton and his friends and being bullied in school isn't new, then I guess nothing" I said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Wait.. being bullied in school? By who?" he obviously still cared about me.
"And Why do you still care about everything?" I asked with hurt laced in my voice.
Jason sighed. "I still do. I missed you a lot Gabs. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
I gave off a small smile. "I missed you too Jase" I rested my head on his shoulder.
"So about that bullying thing...care to explain?" he asked looking down at me.
"Well, I'm the school nerd...sadly...and the jocks at my school bully me" I said looking down.
"Your not a nerd Brie and Jocks? Like basketball players and football players? What do they do to you?" he shot out questions. I giggled a little.
"Yes basketball players and football players. They push me around and shove me into lockers and push me to the ground and everything." I explained. I felt him tense up and I put my hand on his hand where they were on his knee, I felt him relax a little bit.
"Your fine right?" he asked looking down at me again.
"Yeah. One of those jocks is or used to be Troy Bolton" I said with anger. I lifted my head once I felt Jason stand up.
"Troy Bolton?" Jason asked stunned. I nodded. "Does he know your here?"
"Yeah he does, he's been trying to get me to accept his apology" I rolled my eyes.
"And you dont?" he asked.
"Nah. You don't know how much he hurt me, its not enough for crying every night and getting bruises almost everyday" I said hanging my head.
"He did that?" shocked evident in his voice. I nodded. "I'm sorry! I should of been there" he said pulling me into a hug. I smiled softly and hugged him back. It felt so good to be back in his arms and my eyes started brimming with tears, one slipped and he pulled back. "Hey, whats wrong?" he brushed a tear away.
"Nothing" I sniffed. "Its just great to see you again and I missed you so much Jase" He pulled me into a hug again. I can get pretty emotional like this. He was the greatest friend I ever had and he was my first boyfriend, how could I ever forget about this guy? He's like the greatest thing that's ever came into my life.
"I missed you too Brie. I never thought i'd ever see you again" he whispered into my ear. My lips grew into a small smile. Do I still like him? I sighed.
"Maybe we should go back into the pool?" I asked.
"Are you sure? Or do you just wanna stay up here and catch up on everything?" he asked unsure.
"I think we should go back to the pool, then maybe after our groups we can go to your or my cabin?"i suggested.
"Yeah that sounds good, we can go to mine. What's your group letter?"
"A yours?" I replied to his question.
He grinned his bright white smile. "Same, lets head back to the pool." He grabbed my hand and we interlaced our fingers and walked into the pool. What was weird was that I felt a pair of eyes on me the whole time, but that was the least of my worries at the moment.

Well swimming with the girls was quite fun. I headed over to the basketball hoop at the edge of the pool. I've never played basketball in the pool. Its still basketball. Whats the difference? As I swam I saw two figures go out of the pool. Once they sat down I noticed it was Gabriella and some other guy with black hair. I couldn't make out who it was and I shrugged it off.
I tried to play water basketball(Don't know what its called) It wasn't as easy as it looks or as easy on land. But I couldn't concentrate still noticing that Gabriella was still with that guy. Maybe it's an old friend or boyfriend? She put her hands on his and rested her head on his shoulder. Yup its her boyfriend. They kept hugging a lot though. Why do I keep staring? Why am I asking my self so many questions? This is just too funny. Not. I just kept my eyes on Gabriella and her 'boyfriend' while I was leaning against the edge of the pool.

Dinner
I am so glad I found Jason again. It's just im so confused if I like him again or not. Probably not but im not so sure. Ahh. This is too complicated.
I sat down and started picking at my food while a couple basketball players headed my way and for once, it wasn't Troy leading. It was Zeke. I sat back and looked up at him. I could tell Troy was confused and trying to listen on everything we were gonna say. Ha-ha yeah right.
"Hey Gabriella." Zeke greeted me while sitting down. The two others were just standing and watching. I'm glad Sharpay wasn't here yet or else she'd scream..
"Hey Zeke" I smiled. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see Troy's face scrunch up in confusion. It was the funniest thing ever!
"So have you thought about it yet?" he asked impatiently.
I leaned up next to him and whispered into his ear. I knew Troy was getting mad.
"No" I giggled softly.
He sighed. "You've gotta be kidding Gabi."
"Since when did you start calling me 'Gabi'?" I asked.
"Since now" He smiled.
I giggled. "Okay. Well I haven't thought because I met up with my old friend.."
"Oh. Well how about you come by my cabin tonight and we can hang and you can make your decision then?" he asked.
"Sure" I smiled forgetting a small detail.
"Okay. My Cabins CB14 if you don't remember." he reminded me.
"I remember." I giggled. "Its the same as mine but its CG."
"Oh interesting. Well we'll continue this conversation later" he flashed his teeth.
"Okay.. bye" I said.
"Later" he smiled.
After a few minutes I realized something. I just made plans with a guy that's rooming with Troy! That means when I go to his cabin, Troy's gonna be there. Oh great. Just great! I put my head in my hands and I felt someone next to me.
"Hey Gabs" he greeted.
"Hey Jase." I greeted back.
"Whats wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Nothing" I pulled my head out of my hands. "Whats up?"
He kinked an eyebrow at me. "Nothing.. im just wondering if your still on with swinging by my cabin to talk later?"
I pretended to think. The side of my lip curled into a a sly grin. "Yeah"
"Great." he smiled. "my cabins CB15." Oh. Easy enough. I'll just go to Zeke's cabin then his cabin.
"Okay, great. So after I do a couple things i'll be by your cabin" I smiled.
"Can I have your number?" he asked slightly nervous.
I giggled. "Sure" we swapped numbers and we said goodbye. I turned back to my food and ate. I wonder where Tay and Sharpay are? Well tonight, I knew it was gonna be one hell of a night.
