Hey guys, another chapter, keep reading!
Falling For Your Brother's Best Friend
Chapter 3 - Problem & New Captain?
Gabriella hummed a jolly tune as she settled her hands on the steering wheel of her car that morning. She was half-way to school, half-way to the dread of being there again, half-way to her life changing - but she didn't know that yet.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket, when she pulled it out she realised she had a text, opening it, it said:
Hey Gabi,
Have a gd first day!
Luv David x
She sighed after flipping her phone back down and droping it to the bottom of her bag. David, he was a nice guy, and she liked him very much. As her mum's husband he had to be nice to her, it was like a rule. And it had been especially nice for her to have a 'fatherly' figure around, but he wasn't the real thing. Her real father, that is.
She swung her legs out the door of her car, and heard the wolf whistles come her way. She shrugged them off, grabbing her bag, and locking her car. Walking through the doors of West High, the growing crowd spread out for her as she walked. She groaned as they did this. She really didn't need them to do that, she would be just fine budging her way across the hall to her locker, but no, they were quite scared of her. She didn't let it bother her too much though, she liked the sense of authority.
Reaching her locker, she stuffed her jacket inside, got out the books she needed, and walked to homeroom.

Chad stopped at the lights, waiting for them to change. He picked up his basket ball and through it from hand to hand, glancing at the lights from time to time. Seeing that he could go, her through his basketball down to the other seat and put in the gears, speeding across Albuquerue to school.
He reached in school's student car-park and parked just in time, he was nearly always late, and Ms Darbus was like a dragon, you didn't want her detentions!
He was brought from his thoughts when a hand slapped him on the back.
"Hey man!"
Turning around he saw his friend.
"Hi Zeke?"
"You up for practice after school?"
"Sorry man, I can't but, in the gym, lunch? It might stop you from drooling over Sharpay?"
His friend laughed.
"Count me in"
They walked down the hall. Chad remembered what it was like last year. It was very different. They used to bow down to the guys in the basketball team, each player having cheerleaders off their arm, but not now. Not after Jake left. He was the old captain of the Wildcats. The one that brought them all those privileges. He was amazingly good at basketball, turned the game around for the team. But he had gone, and all they needed now was for a new player to cross their path. A guy who was smart, intelligent, hot, and excellent at the ball game. That was what they needed.
And it was coming sooner than they thought.
----------
Gabriella's eyes shot up as soon as she heard that they were doing equations in Math that day.
Great she thought.
Apart from being very beautiful, she had a large brain, filled with knowledge. Her best subjects were maths and science. Some thought her weird, they thought that since she had the looks she could throw away her intelligence. But not Gabriella, she loved academics.
The lesson went by in a flash, and by the end she was very pleased.
"Miss Montez, can I have a word?"
"Ok"
As the others left the class for lunch, she walked up to the teachers desk, and waited patiently.
"Now, Gabriella, did you have a nice holiday?"
Small talk, Greaaat!
It was the teachers way of putting off something bad they had to say, something they knew would upset the pupil.
"Yes, it was lovely thanks"
"Good, now, your are an amazing student, best in the school in fact"
She blushed at this comment, even though she knew it was true.
"Thank you" she replied politely.
"But now we have a problem..."
"Oh"
----------
Chad's feet shuffled down the corridor, quickly glancing at the clock. 12:30pm, he smiled as he realised he had half an hour of basketball.
"Good afternoon, guys!" He shouted as he entered the gym. Replys came shooting back at him. In front of him were some great basketball players.
"Lets get this game started!"
10 minutes into the game, they were really getting into it - but a whistle cut them off.
"Danforth, over now!"
Chad ran over to the door where his coach was standing. He was not a man to get in a bad mood!
"Hello coach"
"Danforth, meet Troy Bolton, new to the school, and I hear, very good a basketaball"
The two boys shook hands, smiling. Chad knew what he had to do.
"Lets see what you got then?"
"Sure"
They walked into the hall, and Chad winked at them. Jason, another of Chad's friends threw Troy the ball, which he caught with ease. Dribbling casually up to the hoop, he took a shot and watched as the ball glided through the hoop. All the guys clapped as he took a elegant bow with them all laughing with him. All on the team looked around at each other, all thinking the same thing.
New Captain?
There was another chapter. I had more to write for this one, but i'm so tired, i decided to stop. I'll put it in the next chapter. Just to let you know, it may be a couple of chapters until Gabriella and Troy really meet, and lots more before they even start the relationship!
Is anyone reading this story from the UK? And if you are, you'll know what i mean when I say 3rd Year. If anyone that is reading and reviewing this is from Britain and is in 3rd year, please tell me if im overreacting when I saw 3rd year is quite hard. Ive got loads of homework lol, but I guess it will get worse.
Anyways, read and review :)
