CHAPTER 2
Same deal as chapter 1
As they walked into their classroom, they saw a girl with bruises everywhere on her arms, legs and face.
"Who is she?" Sharpay whispered to them.
"I don't know…" Ryan started until their teacher Mrs. Hard interrupted.
"Alright class. Take your seats" as the class did what they were told, everyone listened accept one, "Gabriella, could you tell me what the capital on Ontario is?"
"Toronto?" Gabriella whispered but loud enough for Mrs. Hard to hear as she saw bruises everywhere on Gabriella.
"That's right" Mrs. Hard gave her a bag of candy. 'What happened to her? She's a sweet heart" Mrs. Hard thought.

As recess arrived, Gabriella sat under a tree in the dress she wore for 2 days in a row. As she read "The Hollow by Jessica Varday", 8 people walked over to her.
"Hi" Gabriella looked up to see a girl with brown hair and glasses, "my name is Kelsi Nielson. What's yours?" Gabriella looked at her book.
"Gabriella Montez. Why?" Gabriella looked up and saw Mrs. Hard behind them. Mrs. Hard sat down next to Gabriella.
"Sweetie, what happened to you? You have bruises everywhere" Mrs. Hard asked as tears filled Gabriella's brown eyes
"I fell this morning" Gabriella lied as she got up and left with her book.

As Gabriella left, Kelsi started to get worried.
"Mrs. Hard, she didn't fall. I heard screaming and she was crying this morning" Kelsi confessed
"I know. I live right behind her house. None of the teachers wanted her in their classes, so I asked the principal if she could be in ours, since she is 2 years younger than the 8 of you" Mrs. Hard confessed
"She's only 6 years old?" Chad asked shocked
"Yes. That's why she does different work than you guys once in a while and she reads a lot of the time" Mrs. Hard told them
"Wow, but she does some of the work we do"
"She's really smart for a 6 year old. Knowing her she is in the classroom right now"
"Oh… why did you give her candy?"
"She doesn't really eat. She sometimes has a sandwich, a cookie, a drink and an apple, but that's it"
"Why is she wearing the same dress 2 days in a row?" Sharpay asked
"I don't know, but I want you guys to be nice to her. Walk home with her, since I know that the 8 of you live on the same street as her and a few of you live next door"
"Ok" all 8 of them agreed.

As lunch arrived, the 8 kids watched Gabriella carefully. They saw her eat a sandwich and a cookie. As she finished her drink, an apple and the candy, she read her book.

Mrs. Hard watched Gabriella and she saw Gabriella's eyes fill with tears. She saw a tear fall, but she quickly wiped it away and started to fight them back. As Mrs. Hard got up, she walked over to her.
"Hey Gabi. Are you ok?" Mrs. Hard asked as she knelt next to her.
"Y…ya. I'm ok" Gabriella told her as she looked at her book again.
"May I talk to you after school?"
"Uhm…" Gabriella thought. She knew if she did, she would get hurt but it might be important, "ok" Gabriella looked down, so Mrs. Hard got scared when she took so long to answer.
"Ok then" as Mrs. Hard sat back at her desk, she began to think. 'She's scared. I hear screaming and crying at her house all the time. When I get to the bottom of this I hope it's not too late' Mrs. Hard said in her mind as she watched everyone eat and for Gabriella… read.
Please review. I'm almost done writing chapter 3. I'm hoping for 20 or more chapters. Like I said, my story is different than the song. In the song, the teacher doesn't help, but in my story, she does help. There may be a sequel, but I'll tell you guys that later. Please tell me what you think
