Previous:
Troy walks over to Gabriella and puts his arm around her.
'Are you okay?' He asked looking down in her eyes, but she just looked to the ground.
'Troy!!' Tia said, so jealous.
'Come on, let's get out of this place.' Troy said, ignoring Tia.
Troy leads Gabriella away from the staring, evil eyes into the schoolgarden. He takes her to a bench and puts her down. His hand stroked her hair out of her face, trying to see if she was crying. She just looked down, trying to avoid eyecontact to hide the fact that she's crying.
He puts two fingers under her chin and lifts it up slowly. She closed her eyes, giving in. Troy saw her tears stained cheeks.
'Hey, hey, don't listen to Tia! She's just jealous… Don't listen to her, like me. I never do…' He said comforting.
Gabriella giggled so quiet that you could barely hear it.
'That's it… That's better…' Troy smiled hearing her little giggle. He bend down to catch her eyes. She looks up to him and is shocked about their beautiful, light color. He looks in her deep, warm, chocolate eyes.
T: Well, I was wrong…. She does have eyes… And such beautiful ones…
'Promise me that you will not listen to Tia ever again….' He said.
Gabriella was so lost in his eyes, she couldn't really understand what he just said to her.
'You promise?' He just asked again when he didn't get any answer.
'Promise…' she quietly said when she snapped out of her little trance.
'Good. How come I never saw you before? Are you new here?' Troy asked.
Gabriella just nodded not daring to look in his eyes again.
'Okay, well, I can show you to the office to sign in, then I'll head off to class, ok?' Troy offered.
'Thank you.' Gabriella said nodding her head.
They stood up and made their way to the office. Troy still had his arms wrapped around her to keep the eyes of all the students away from her, but he couldn't stop the voices.
'OMG, is that Troy Bolton?'
'No way, He would never hold a girl like that.'
'Come on guys! Like you don't know that he's just using her for a good fuck. Not any feelings go with that.'
'Yeah, maybe. But why her? He could have any girl he wants.'
They got at the office soon enough and Troy let go of her.
'Okay, I'm off to class, don't forget the promise you made me…' He said rubbing her shoulder.
'I won't.' Gabriella said softly.
'See you later, okay?' Troy said, giving her a wink and walked away.
T: What the hell was that, Troy?!
Gabriella turned around and watched how Troy walked away.
G: Did that just happen? Maybe… Things will be different here.
Gabriella just smiled at the thought and walked up to the secretary and introduced herself.
'Hi, I'm Gabriella Montez and I'm new here.' Gabriella said still smiling but her smile faded.
G: Wait… He didn't even ask my name…
At lunch.
Gabriella wandered around, looking for the boy who helped her that morning. She finally found him at the fontains with a few guys and girls… and Tia…
G: Should I?
Gabriella slowly walks up to them and takes a deep breath.
'Uhmm… Hi.' She said softly and shy.
No one took the effort to look up at her… They all ignored her.
'Hello?' Gabriella asked after clearing her throat.
Finally, Troy looks up but so does Tia. From the moment Tia sees Gabriella, she goes and sits on Troy's lap, leaning into his chest and looks up and down to Gabriella.
'And, who were you again?' She asked meanly.
'Mary… The saint!!!' A guy yelled and everybody laughed.
Gabriella took a deep breath and turned around, ready to step away but changed her mind. She turned back and glared at Tia…
'Actually… My name's Gabriella Montez…' Gabriella looked at Troy. 'Do you remember?' she asked when he didn't react. 'The promise?' A little smile came across her face.
Troy just looks around to his friends who were waiting for him to make fun of this little, helpless girl.
T: I can't stand up for her when my friend are all here… Not again.
Troy looked back at her. She was looking so lost, still waiting for him to recognize her.
'What promise?' He said shrugging.
G: Why doesn't he recognize me?
'Don't you remember? This morning? You helped me?' She tried again.
'I helped something like you?' He looked up and down her body. 'I don't think so.'
G: Oh… okay, I see. He's not what I thought he was. I was sooo wrong. Nothing will be different.
'Okay, thanks I guess.' She said softly and ran away.
The girls all start laughing and giggling. Troy just watched how Gabriella ran away and feels his heart tears in two because what he did to her. He looked at Sienna, Tia and the rest of the girls and think they're digusting.
'Just shut up will you?' He murmured.
Tia just smiled
and hugged Troy.
'Good job, babe.' She kissed his cheek.
'Just fuck off Tia! You're horrible!' He said pushing her away and walks away.
'She already changed him… And the worst is, he doesn't even know it.' Tyson said looking at Tia.
'Who the hell is she?! She's here for just one day and she's already ruining our group!' Victoria said upset.
Meanwhile with Gabriella.
Gabriella sat under the tree, fiddling with her sandwich.
G: I'm not good enough…. I'm never good enough… What the fuck is wrong with me? I'm here for just one day and already everybody hates me. I just made a fool out of myself, AGAIN. Maybe my dad's right… Yeah, I'm worthless.
Gabriella shoved the sandwich in her mouth and swallowed it without chewing and runs to the bathroom about to throw up.
Troy walks from the other side of the tree and sighed, shocked.
T: That the fuck did I do to her?! Troy, you stupid, stupid, stupiddd fool!
During Math, after lunch.
Gabriella sits at the other side of the classroom, as far of Troy as she could. The whole hour she didn't lift her head, avoiding Troy's staring eyes.
T: Gabriella…Why won't she look at me… Damn… What should I say when I see her after class? Hi, How are you? Nonono… Uhm… Ughh, I blew it. I blew it! I just want to be there. Next to her. Comforting her. Near her. Just make sure she's-- Dude, What happened to me?!
'Who's completed their work? No one of course.' The teacher asked.
Gabriella slowly lifted her hand and walks up to the teacher to show her work.
After the teacher checked her work, she just shook her head in disbelieve.
G: Ohno… What did I do wrong? Maybe the second exercise… I knew it wasn't like that! Damn…
'Well, well, well… We have a new genius on campus! This is the first time that a student finished her work in just one hour, but with all correct anwsers? I've never seen something like this before! Good job, Miss. Montez!' The teacher said proudly.
Gabriella walks up to the teacher to get her work and walks back to her seat. She saw Troy's eyes following every move she made. She just turned away her head, ashamed.
After class, Gabriella quickly ran out of the room, hoping nobody would see her.
Troy's eyes looked around after he picked up his backpack, searching. Looking for HER.
T: She must've left. Where did she go?
Troy started running through the hallways, making his way through the crowds.
T: I'm never going to find her… She's long gone. I'm a loser… God, I'm more then a loser, I'm a jerk! I'm an idiot! I can't believe what I saw during lunch… I've got to stop her before it gets worse. But, when she gets home, what do you think she'll do? Damnit.
Troy gave up and started walking towards the parckinglot when he saw someone of the corner of his eyes. He smiled and walked up to—Yes, Gabriella.
She was waiting for her bus, shuffling her feet. He stood next to where she sat.
She looked up and didn't say a thing.
'Gabriella…' Troy said with his eyes full with sorrow.
'Don't worry about it, Troy.' She said and got up because her bus arrived.
'Wait… I'll take you home, I just want to talk.' Troy said, gently grabbing her arm.
'My parents always said that I couldn't take rides from strangers.' Gabriella said.
'Stranger? Come on… I'm not a stranger. I'm Troy Bolton and a real idiot.' Troy said.
Gabriella looked at him with confused eyes.
'I know I never should've done that to you…' Troy said.
She just looked away.
G: Don't do this. Shut up. Leave me alone.
The bus leaves and Gabriella sighed.
'Great…' Gabriella mumbled.
'Don't worry about it, I'm taking you home. Okay?' Troy suggested.
G: Shit, what if he can hear my heart pumping harder? Okay, calm down… Breath in aaand out… In aaaand--- crap crap crap. I should get rid of him.
'I'm so sorry, Gabriella. I didn't know what I was doing.' Troy said again.
'Don't apologize. I forgive you.' Gabriella said stepping away but was stopped by Troy who grabbed her arm again.
'Will you just stop running away from me for just one second?' He asked.
Gabriella just looked away, blushing.
'I'm stupid. I never should've treated you like that, it's just my friends—.'
'I get it. You did this for your friends.' Gabriella answered.
'Exactly!' Troy said smiling, glad she understood.
'Well, I'm not int—.' Her voice faded.
G: Gabriella, leave it. Just let him apologize and leave.
'What? What were you going to say?' Troy asked.
'Never mind.' Gabriella said softly.
'No,' He said, lifting up her chin so she was looking in his eyes. ' Gabriella, Tell me what you were going to say' He demanded gently.
'Don't worry about it, okay?' She said and was about to walk away.
'Would you stop doing that?' He asked grabbing her wrist gently.
'I—I just can't remember.' She lied.
'Yes, you can.' He said immediately.
'Okay, I'm not interested in someone who acts different around their friends just to be cool. It's not what I'm about.' She said knowing he wouldn't give up.
'Really?' Troy asked.
Gabriella just nodded confused.
'Then why did I see you running to the toilets durin—.' Troy was interrupted by Gabriella.
'You were spying on me?!' Gabriella said shocked.
'No.. Not spying, admiring.' Troy said grinning.
Gabriella's eyes were wet from tears who were almost falling.
Troy immediately reached out to wipe her tears but Gabriella hits his hand away, picks up her backpack and starts running.
T: Shit… Blew it again.
Troy just let her run, he knew he stepped over the line. He knew he deserved this. He went home thinking about what he's done.
Next day during math.
'PSST!! Gabriella!!!' Troy whispered yelling across the classroom.
Gabriella heard him, sighed and ignored him.
'Gabriella!' He whispered again.
Gabriella looked to the blackboard.
'Gabriella Montez! Turn around! Now!' He whispered.
Gabriella is sick of him and turned around looking annoyed.
'Yes?' She asked.
'I need to talk to you!' He said.
The teacher turned around and saw Troy and Gabriella.
'Troy! And Gabriella? I'm disappointed in you, Gabriella! I would think Troy would do this but you? You're disturbing my other students learning, so that's a detention! For both of you!' She said.
T: Can't I do anything right?
Gabriella turned around and get back to work.
Detention.
'Okay, sit down and think about the student who are behind in my class and you disturbed them even more! Think about how disrespectful it was of you!' The teacher said.
A student ran in.
'Ms. Lutin! Ms. Lutin! There's a fight in the cafeteria!' He said out of breath.
'You stay here!' The teacher said and ran off with the student.
Troy immediately sat on the desk next to Gabriella's.
'Gabriella…' He said.
'I don't want to hear it.' She said.
'But I—.' He tried again.
'I don't want to hear what you think of me! You think I'm bulimic? Think I'm strange? Think I'm ugly? Think I have Issues? Think I have problems? Well, I don't care!' She said trembling all over her body.
G: Did that just came out of MY mouth?!
'Gabriella, I won't judge you if you're bulimic. I don't think you need to lose weight at all. I can't see under those baggy clothes but you seem slim to me. And I'm sorry about what I said to you yesterday. That was totally out of line. And no, I don't think you're strange, just a little lost and misunderstood.' He said. 'And ugly? Are you kidding?' He said putting her hair behind her ear and brushed his hand against her cheek softly. 'You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, because you're naturally pretty, Gabriella. Not like Victoria, Sienna and defiantly not like Tia who put tons make up on. Don't compare yourself with them. You're different to other girls and I like that. And who cares if you have some issues. Who doesn't have issues?' He said smiling slightly.
Gabriella's eyes were wide open and her mouth was hanging open. She never though Troy could be like this.
Troy smiled at her expression and turned serious again.
'Before you came, I always looked at the girl ass and chest. But now, I realize the most important thing is in here.' He said putting his hand on her heart.
From the second Gabriella felt Troy's hand she jerked away. It was a reflex.
Troy looked shocked and cupped her face in his warm hands.
'Don't be scared Gabriella, I like you and I want to spend time with you to get to know you.' He said.
'You don't want to get to know someone like me.' She murmured.
'Of course I want to! You learned me more in just a few days then anyone else in my whole life…' He said confused.
'That's not a reason to like me, you know?' She said.
'I know, but I like just… Like… Everything about you. You're just soo… Perfect.' He said.
'You're so blind.' She said snorting.
' Why are you rejecting me like this?' He asked hurt.
'You don't want to do anything with me okay? I'm the most screwed up person you'll ever meet!' She said.
'I don't believe you.' He simply said.
'It's the truth.' She said.
'Let me decide this for myself. Let me get to know you and we'll see from there?' He said.
'No.' She answered.
'Yes.' He said taking her hand.
Gabriella just pulled her hand away and turned her back to him.
'What's wrong Gabby?' He asked.
Gabriella turned around with a shocked look on her face.
'What did you just call me?!' She asked.
'Ella.' He smiled.
'Don't call me that! And don't come near me! I'm no good for you or anybody else.' Gabriella stood up and walked out off the classroom.
The next day Troy walks up to the tree where Gabriella sits.
'Hey Ella.' He said jokingly.
'Didn't you hear me yesterday?' Gabriella asked getting annoyed.
'Sorry… Hey Gabriella…' He said and sat next to her.
'I told you to stay away from me!' She said.
'I'm blind… And deaf.' Troy said smiling.
'Whatever. I'm not interested. Will you just leave me alone?' She asked looking away.
'Not a chance.' He said moving closer. 'So-.'
'Are you always this annoying?' She asked looking at him with her head leaning to the side a little.
'Are you always this rude?' He asked back.
'Is it so much to ask to be left alone?' She asked.
'I can't leave you alone… That's the problem.' He said leaning over getting so close that she could feel his breath on her bare skin.
This is it, I guess. Hope you liked it. Please leave comments.
