Here's the next chapter guys, enjoy!
Troy walked into Darbus' classroom, his hands in his jean pockets, his shoulders hunched creating his white t-shirt to wrinkle over his muscular body. He hadn't slept well last night, and it clearly showed, what with the dark circles under his eyes and the drowsy look his blue orbs carried around.
Cheerleaders and jocks surrounded him, and the girls started jabbering about the usual gossip.
"Have you heard about that new girl?" one gushed.
"Yeah! She had dark curly hair and-" another said.
"And not blue eyes!" a blonde cheerleader shrieked, causing the rest of them to nod in disgust.
Troy listened intently, for once forgetting about his sister. He was always on the look out for a new girlfriend, since he broke up with his latest one last Friday.
"Well, I heard she's… smart!" Another girl whispered in horror.
"And, like, she's not even wearing Abercrombie & Fitch™ clothes! Or Hollister™!" An airhead brunette complained, pouting slightly.
Troy watched the cheerleaders argue and agree for the next few minutes, each girl having their own opinion about her.
The talk got as far to, "I heard she's got a little boy locked in her closet for… purposes."
That made Troy burst out laughing, and Chad was so relieved to see a smile on Troy's face, he almost said, "Looks like you're getting over her." But he knew if he had said that, then Troy would have gone back into his totally-not-like-him shell.
And Chad had to keep Troy out of that shell, or else people would ask what was the matter, and then rumors would fly, and it would be possible that Troy never got better.
"What's her name?" Troy asked the girls, who looked at him and started talking all at once.
"I think her first name starts with a V-"
"No, a G-"
"Ga, I think!"
"No, it's Va-"
"Isn't that her last name?"
"No, her last name is Mu-something-"
"Ho-something?"
"No, I think is was-"
"I get it, girls." Troy said, cutting them all off.
Chad started snickering at the cheerleaders faces. They were screwed up, as if in pain, probably because they were thinking.
"I think this is the most thinking they've done all week." Chad laughed to Jason and Zeke, Troy's other friends as well as other members of the Basketball team. The guys all chuckled.
Troy, who was no closer to knowing this new girl's name, turned back to talking with this blonde that he was thinking about asking out.
"Hey, Claire, yeah?" He asked, after the tugged at the corner of his shirt.
She shot his a flirtatious smile. "What d'you think of my new outfit?" She asked, referring to the red tube top that showed off her cleavage and tight, low jeans.
Troy raised his eyebrows and grinned like some stupid guy who would go out with just about every girl. This was probably the best description for him.
"Great," he said, leaning in and giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"Dinner later tonight? I'll pick you at-" he started saying to her. Claire was smiling widely, batting her eyelashes, her mind speeding away as she thought of how she would brag to all her friends that she was Troy's girlfriend.
But Troy never finished his sentence, because Ms. Darbus entered with the new student, saying, "Class, in your seats! And please welcome our new student, Ms. Gabriella Montez."
All Troy had done was glance up, but once he had, he couldn't look away. It was her.
Those long brown curls, chocolate eyes that were, at the moment, filled with fear. Gabriella was wearing a low front, long-sleeved pink shirt, as well as jeans that weren't low, but they weren't normal, either.
She became very fidgety under the harsh gazes of the others, but one she mistook as a stare of disgust was really a stare of disbelief.
Troy's mouth hung open for a moment before Chad punched him. Chad as well could see the resemblance, and he was very shocked as well.
But Troy just couldn't look away. "Sarah," he whispered.
