Chapter 4
It was no December. The semester was almost over and report cards were coming out. The students were supposed to get their report cards during eighth period.
"Hey, Gabi," Haley said. "Report cards are comin' out. I'm so freaking out."
Gabriella laughed. Partly because what Haley said was funny and partly because Haley was her friend.
That's right. Ever since Troy had come to East High, Gabriella wasn't so admired anymore. So she had gotten a few friends out of that situation.
And Haley Thompson was one of them.
"I just knew I got a bad grade in math," Haley said as they walked to eighth period class together. "It's almost impossible pass that subject."
"Just like gym," Gabriella said. "That subject is almost impossible to pass."
The girls laughed as they walked into the classroom. Unfortunately, Haley's seat was all the way in the back and Gabriella's was near the front.
Kids scrambled to their seats as the teacher told everyone ot hush up and SIT!
The loudspeaker came on.
"All teachers please pass the report cards to your eighth period class students at this time. Thank you."
Gabriella waited for the teacher to call up her name. She knew she probably got an A in science and history. She probably got an A or a B in English. Those were her best subjects. And history and math maybe a B. And she knew she got A's in her electives (Tech Tools and Woodshop).
Now for gym...
Well, it would be a miracle if she got a C.
"Gabriella Montez," the teacher called out.
Gabriella walked up to the teacher to recieve her report card. She sat down at her desk, took a deep breath, and opened the report card.
Here's what it said:
English-A
Math-B
Science-A
History-A
Tech Tools-A
Woodshop-A
Then Gabriella breathed a sigh of relief. On the bottom of the report card it said:
Gym-C
She had passed gym for the semester.
Whew!
"So how'd you do?" Janine Ericson asked as the girls walked home together. Janine was also another one of Gabriella's friends. And she lived in Gabriella's neighborhood, too.
"Not so bad," Gabriella said. "I got an A in English, History, Science, Tech Tools, and Woodshop. Then I got a B in Math."
"And what about gym?" Janine asked cautiously.
"I actually got a C," Gabriella said. "It's a miracle."
"God, our gym teachers are so mean," Janine said. "The least they could do is give you a B for being a team player. All Coach Wu cares about is how good you are."
This was true. Coach Wu never seemed to notice if you cooperated or not. All she seemed to care about was how good you were.
"It's so not fair," Janine continued. "Bolton doesn't even talk to anyone and he got an A!"
This made Gabriella's jaw dropped. "Troy Bolton, the dancer, got an A in gym class?"
Janine nodded. "I guess all that dancing and stuff gives him an athletes' ability."
"Well, I have to do is just pass through gym next semester and then I'm free." Then Gabriella quickly added, "For two months, anyway."
"And weekends," Janine added.
"And weekends," Gabriella repeated.
Soon the girls departed and Janine went one way and Gabriella went another.
"Oh, how I wish that we never had to say good-bye," Janine said dramatically.
Gabriella giggled and played along, "Shall we ever pass this way again?"
"Yeah, on Monday," Janine said. "Oh, hey, I went to the mall last week and I saw these really cool skirts. They're still on sale. Why don't you, Haley, and I go tomorrow?"
Gabriella nodded. "Okay. Tootles till tomorrow!"
"Love ya!" Janine said, blowing kisses.
The girls headed toward their houses, laughing the whole time.
They were so busy laughing that they didn't see a tall male figure walking in the third direction.
Troy Bolton also lived in their neighborhood.
Bum-Bum-BUM!
Some of u guys are probably REALLY impatient for some Troyella action but just be patient. If I go too fast, this story won't be long enough. And I want this sotry to be at least 15 chapters long!
So b patient.
Or else.
POLL!
1) Okay, so should the school of Fine Arts be called:
The School of Fine Arts
Or Johnson's School of Fine Arts (Troy's aunt's last name is Johnson)
2) And when Gabriella goes into the school, should she see Troy:
doing a sort of jazzy ballet type thing (u know, those dances with those really cool tuxedo outfits)
Or practicing the tango with another girl
And when Troy sees Gabriella watching him should he:
be nice or rude?
Oh, and 1 more thing.
I'm putting up the link on my profile for the Firefly video Zac was in when he was like 13 or something. check it out!
And the next chapter will be longer.
I promise.
Pinky swear.
Actually...virtual pinky swear since I can't really pinky swear.
And (as iCarly would do it) Ankle shake:)
