Chapter 11 - I Don't Think So!
The room was silent. No-one moved a muscle. It was almost if anything stirred the hall would break in two.Troy and Gabriella were still looking at each other, unable to break gaze. The crowd had very mixed reactions...
"What's he gonna do?"
"Does he like her?"
"He's gonna yell, I know it!"
"She is cute!"
"He never acts like this with newbies"
"I never knew Chad had a sister!"
Troy heard all of these and more, but Gabriella heard none. She was too lost in his eyes, and to think she had never met him before, with him being Chad's best friend and all. Remember, she had met him, but she didn't know.
Troy could feel the stares bounce off him. He was use to people staring, but not like this. Everyone was curious, and he didn't like it. But he couldn't take his eyes away. For so long, so long, he had waited to see them, her eyes, and now he was staring into them, it was unbelievable.
His hair shimmered in the light, and she found herself want to touch it, to feel the locks run throught her fingertips. Without knowing what she was doing, she found herself moving towards him, almost in a trance.
Chad looked on from behind. He was completely confused. Troy was never like this. East High's halls had never been this quiet. It freaked him. As soon as he saw his sister starting to approach him, he knew she shouldn't be. His brotherly instincts told him to run and grab Gabirella, taking her to safety. But she had to find things out on her own. And if that meant his best friend shouting at her furiously, so be it.
What do I do, he thought. He saw her move gracefully, almost like she was an angel, towards him. The whispers kept coming, each getting louder, circling his head. He didn't like it. Every moment, his school status seemed to be slipping away. Everyone in the hall knew this wasn't the way he acted. He always shouted at them, made them angry, sometimes scared, but never flirt. And that was what he was on the edge of doing. Because of her eyes, and her.
She moved closer, then suddenly stopped. What am I doing? she asked herself. Feeling her cheeks go red with embarassment, she looked up to his eyes, and started introducing herself.
"Hey, I'm Gabriella"
She said, taking out a hand, for him to shake. She saw from the corner of her eye, her brother was shaking his head. Why? she didn't know.
Her voice was so sweet, angelic, and mesmerising. He could listen to it everyday. All he wanted to do was smile, and shake hands. But he couldn't. He needed to remain 'East High's King', the bad boy - who wasn't really bad. The act of who he really wasn't started now.
He scoffed, "What are you doing?!"
His eyes instictively clouded over, turning from their turquiose light shade, to midnight blue. Gabriella noticied this.
"Nothing, I was jus-"
"- just standing in my way" Troy finished the sentence.
How rude could he be? Gabriella was appalled. All she was doing was being friendly.
"Excuse me?!" Her hands turned to her hips, and she looked at him, with a glare.
This girl knew how to work her eyes, he saw.
"Sweetheart, you see-"
"-don't you 'sweetheart' me!" She replied, her voice rising, her glare continuing.
The crowd filled with 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs', and it was clear to Gabriella that no-one, probably not even the teachers, had talked to Troy like this before.
Troy was amazed. He had this look, which looked like he was angry, but really was just surprised. No-one knew it, but Gabriella picked up on this.
She clicked her tongue, and gave him a 'did i surprise you?' look. This girl is good, he thought.
"Let me finish!" The act for Troy continued.
"Ha! Why? Because your the 'King'?" She quoted with her fingers.
Chad shook his head, and this didn't go unnoticied by Gabriella, she smirked at her brother.
Chads hand flew to his head, grabbing his forehead in frusration.
"Yes, Chad" The attention went to Chad, and she copied his actions, "Your sister, is talking to you best friend like this!"
"As a matter of fact, newbie, I am the King" He looked around the hall, glaring. Everyone started to nod in agreement.
"And it looks like you, 'West Highs Princess', has her head up her ass!"
She gasped, how could he be so rude.
She looked him in the eye, and saw something. Sadness. She would make him pay for his last comment, but mocking the one thing she knew he had. Body.
"You know, "She continued walked up to him, she was up to his shoulder, but he didn't turn to her. She touched his shoudler, and they both felt sparks, she shook it off. "My girfriends at West High," She conitued running her hand over and around to his other shoulder, on his other side. Damn, she's sexy, he thought, "When they heard about you, and saw you," She swung her hips as she tuned around to face him again, about an arms length away, "the thought you were hot, but now I look at you," She checked him out, up and down, "I don't think so!"
And with that she turned away, again swinging her hips. The whole of East High's Student Body looking back at her. No-one had ever talked to him like that, and for once, he didn't have anything to saw. He was gobsmacked, and he loved it.
Knowing Gabriella was the start of a pretty big adventure!
