Falling For Your Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 12 - New Friendships Made

People where still talking about what Gabriella had said, and it seemed to her, like the words had rolled off her toungue ages ago. She ignored the comments, mostly good, some bad, and continued the search for her locker.

"378...379...380...381!" She smiled, and got out her key.

She heard the bustle start to move, and was partly thankful that no-one had confronted her about the fight.

She turned the key, and sighed.

"Finally"

"-someone has stood up to Troy Bolton!" she heard a female voice say from behind her. She jumped at the sound, and turned around quickly.

In fron of her where two girls,who looked like they were the same age as her. The first one had dark skin, and an excellent figure. Dressed in a baby blue tee and jeans, she looked gorgeous! Blue eyeshadow and black eyliner outlining her eyes, she looked mysterious, yet fabulous.

The girl beside her was slightly taller. Blonde locks, which were curled slightly in some places fell from her head. Her body was covered in pink, with her lightly shaded jean mini skirt showing off her well made pins. Her smile was enchanting,, her teeth dazzled, her make-up not really needed as she was already beautiful.

As Gabriella looked at them, giving them a 'once-over', as they say, she realised that they were the same girls she had followed. The best thing is they were friendly.

She shook out of her trance, and focused on the conversation.

"Thanks...I guess" she chuckled.

"No, seriously, we should be thanking you!" The blonde piped in.

"Yeah,' the other said, 'we've been waiting for weeks to put him in his place, and its good your new, and if you don't mind me saying, pretty hot, because Troy Bolton, doesn't usually do that!"

"Doesn't do what?" Gabriella was confused.

"Talk fairly nicely. Sometimes he just shouts at them, to get out the way. Some of the younger kids are quite scared of him"

Gabriella laughed again as she put her coat in her locker, and locked it with the key again. "Well, I'm not scared"

They laughed again.

"I'm Gabriella, be the way, but people call me either Gabi or Gabs" She said.

"Well, Gabi, I'm Taylor" The baby blue girl said.

"And I'm Sharpay" The pink princess said.

They greeted each other for a little while longer.

As they were talking Troy walked passed, and stared at Gabriella. The girls noticied this, and rolled their eyes. Gabriella took no notice, he wasn't worth it.

"Well anyways,' Taylor directed the conversation away from the boys, ' do you know anyone else here?"

"Eh, well, I know my brother!" Gabriella lagughed, and Sharpay and Taylor giggled with her.

"He's Chad Danforth"

Sharpay glanced at those words, over at Taylor, who was becoming red. She looked away, trying to hide, but nothing fooled Gabriella.

"Ok, so I've known you', she looked at her invisible watch, '15 minutes, and I already know you like my brother"

Taylor laughed nervously. Gabriella patted her shoulder, "I'll see what I can do" Taylor smiled wide. They laughed again, then the bell rang.

"Can you guys tell me where Ms Darbus's homeroom is?"

"We're going there too!" Sharpay squealed as she grabbed Gabriella's and Taylor's arms and headed for homeroom.

----------

They sat in homeroom, waiting for Ms Darbus to arrive.

"Word of warning" Sharpay whispered, "She's quite excentric!"

Just then a woman wearing very bright clashing colours walked in. She started reading the register. Then she came to Gabriella's name.

"Gabriella Montez-Danforth?"

"That's me" Gabriella put up her hand, to signal she was here.

"Are you new?"

"Yes, Ms"

"Well, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Gabriella rose from her seat, and walked over to the front of the class. She watched as everyone put their eyes on her. One particular pair landed on her and fixed for a while. Her stomach churned slightly. However, she looked away, and shrugged it off.

"Well, I'm Gabriella. I used to go to West High, your rival school, but I'm not really into the whole rival thingy. I dance, sing, and cheerlead. Em, and I'm Chad's sister"

She returned to her seat, as Ms Darbus prosumed the register, and Sharpay and Taylor started talking again.

"You dance, and cheerlead?"

"Yeah"

"Great" They both said, "You can join the teams, we need new people!"

They started chatting again. The loudspeaker sounded and someone's voice could be heard.

"Ok, this is Coach Henderson speaking, to all Juniors! You will all be taking part in a dance workshop tomorrow, which will last 4 hours. Please all bring clothes you will be comfortable in"

It went off, and Gabriella looked around.

She saw the girls smiling, the boys groaning. She laughed. Tomorrow should be fun!

But would it be?
