A/N: Hey guys, a few of you said you recognized this story? Well i guess it's because i found out last night AFTER i had posted the first chapter that there was a story out called 'She's Silent' - i read it and just to let you know, it's completely different to mine. The only thing we have in common is Gabriella being deaf. But the storyline is completely different other then that../x
It turned out that not only was Troy, hot, sexy and kind but he was also very clever and had EVERY class with me. This i didn't mind because we hung out for the rest of the day, having conversations (Wether they were proper or not) and making each other laugh. It seemed that we were kind of inseperable and i liked it. Also, guess what? We swapped Emails, so we can chat properly! Eeeep. Ok, i'm soo excited.
However, the thing i didn't like was EVERYONE staring at me. Seriously, i couldn't go anywhere - The halls, The cafeteria, The girls bathroom - Without someone looking at me like i was a disease. I truly couldn't understand why people were like this. Troy, Taylor and the rest of the gang had excepted me - So why couldn't the school?
I had soon figured out, that Troy's gang - Taylor, Chad, Sharpay and Zeke - were like the leaders of the school and incredibly popular. All the girls just seemed to love Troy. Which obviously wasn't what i wanted. It also turns out Troy IS on the schools basketball team with Chad and Zeke, but unlike them - he is captain (So that explains why he is always playing basketball in his backyard.)
Anyway, did you know some boys are jerks? I mean real jerks. It's hard to believe really that Troy is from the same species, but whatever. Why do i think they are jerks? Maybe because at lunch time, i had just left Troy's side to go to my own locker while he went to his, promising to meet up with him in the cafeteria. As I walked down the hall quite happily, reliving the morning i had spent with Troy (Oh and Taylor - We met up after art), feeling happy about being at East high when suddenly, i felt someone patt my butt. I stopped, looking horrified, turning to find this boy, he had black spikey haired and green eyes. Dark green eyes. I looked at his sneering face and gulped softly. I could see he was with some other guys, who were laughing at what their friend had just done.
I glared at them all before turning to walk down the hall once again, only to be forcefully pulled back. "Your the deaf kid right?" I read the spikey haired boy say. I nodded slowly. "Your hot" He said
I stood there not moving, if that was Troy saying it, i probably would of blushed. But it was this creep saying it and it did nothing for me.
"Can you talk at all?"
I shook my head.
"Well, i want you too" He said "Talk right now"
Again, i stood still, looking horrified. I couldn't reply?! Surely even this jerk could understand that.
"TALK!" He said forcefully. I looked around at the now empty hall, everyone now probably in the cafeteria - Troy and the rest of the gang waiting for me.
I moved to walk away once again, my books, heavy and aching my arms as i still had to put them in my locker. Suddenly, without being able to comprehend it, i was lieing face down on the ground having been tripped up. I felt tears gathering in my eyes as my hand was crushed under my weight and the heavy books. I moved to get up, visibly shaking. Why the hell were they being like this? Hell, i should of guessed that East High wasn't perfect.
I finally came face level with the spikey haired guy and his friends who were all howling wih laughter. "Don't you dare tell anyone about this, got it?" I read him say.
I nodded fiercely, my hand throbbing by my side. I just wanted them to let me go so i could get to my locker...
"Good" The guy said, moving closer to me so he was a few inches away from my face "Bye babe" He said and barged pass me, nearly knocking me down once again. I sighed, and walked to my locker quickly, ignoring the tears of pain and sadness that were close to falling. I put my books away and closed my locker, everything had been going soooo great for me, then this happens.
I finally decided to go get my hand looked at as it was hurting soo badly, promising to go to the cafeteria after. One thing was, where the hell was the nurses office? I looked around everywhere, for a sign, a map...something, but with no avail. I turned a corner, walking straight into something, causing me to fall to the ground for the second time that day. Oh god, please don't let it be those boys again. I suddenly felt to hands on my arms pulling me up. I came face to face with an older looking guy - obviously a teacher. By the look of his whistle around his neck and the sports shirt - a P.E teacher.
"I'm sorry" I read him say.
I nodded.
"Are you ok?"
I nodded again.
"Your Ms Montez right?"
I nodded, smiling slightly. He seemed nice.
"I'm coach Bolton"
Bolton...Bolton!! Troy's dad! Woah, never saw that coming.
I smiled gratefully up at him.
"You look lost by the way, what are you trying to find.?" He asked. I pointed to my hand, that was now bruising. "Nurses office?"
I nodded, wiping away a few tears that were staining my cheeks with my free hand.
"I'll take you?"
I smiled up at him gratefully. We walked down a few halls, turning corners now and again before we came to a sign that read, nurses office. I turned to Coach Bolton Thankyou I signed the best i could with a sore hand - hoping that he might understand.
"I guess that means Thankyou?"
I nodded, entering the office.
So, it turns out it was just bruising...Thankgod However, after going to the nurses office, where she made a HUGE fuss out of me (I lied and said i fell over by mysefl). I had to practically BEGG her not to call my mom. I decided going to lunch wasn't what i wanted right now. So, i went to homeroom and sat there, thinking. Not like about huge things, just about Troy and that jerk in the hall. Things like that. I wanted so badly to be with Troy, but i knew - deep down it wouldn't work, ok, we were communicating alright now. But what about in the future, i won't be able to hear him say 'I love You' or anything like that. Being deaf was a certain bummer. I doodled on my notebook, wishing i could just go home and relax in the pool. I certainly, loved our pool. I could just lay there, soaking up the sun and be alone. What could be more pefect?
I suddenly noticed none other then Troy and the rest of the 'gang' walk in. All looking concerned. Where have you been, we have been looking for you everywhere Taylor signed quickly, as everyone gathered around me. I hurt my hand and had to find the nurses office I signed the best i could. Seriously, my hand was completely painful, so i found it hard. Great! Another bad thing to add to my long list...
I noticed everyone gasp as they spotted my hand i was having difficulty signing with. I noticed Troy quickly talk to Taylor, not being able to catch what was said until Taylor relayed it onto me. How did you hurt yourself?
Accident I winced, shrugging, looking down. I felt a hand move to my shoulder, rubbing it softly. I looked up to see Troy looking concerned. "Are you telling the truth?"
I nodded - obviously lieing. I think Troy could tell this, but couldn't persue it any further as other people began to file in, taking a seat. I felt my heart break as very pretty girl walked up to Troy, wrapping her arms around his waist. She had long blonde hair, and very slim figure. I watched Troy smile and wrap his arms around her too, kissing her gently on the lips. Why didn't i see this coming!? Of course HE has a girlfriend. How naiive could i be? Actually thinking someone like him...That he was single!? Damn i am so stupid.
I turned away quickly, feeling Troy's eyes on me. I knew if i had looked at him just then, he would of probably noticed the tear, sliding down my cheek.
How stupid could i be?
For the rest of the day i ignored Troy's various attempts to capture my attention. Wether he was standing right infront of me, or nudging me. I ignored him. Don't get me wrong, i wasn't Upset with him...I had no right to be really. I was just disappointed in myself more then anything. I put it down to the huge change in my life. I mean, when i was in my old school, i was used to that enviroment...The boys and their ways - Everything. But now i was in a new place. With new people and new boys - allowing myself to be so naiive and hope for things that were obviously never going to happen.
I sat in English - my last lesson of the day, answering the question off the board - That, will you believe it, is about Romeo and Juliet! Pfftt! 'Compare the characters of Romeo and Juliet. How do they develop throughout the play? What makes them fall in love with one another?'
Ergh, this sucks. Plus you know what? I can practically feel Troy's eyes burning into the back of my head. I glanced at the clock. 15 minutes to go! I was beyond ready for this day to end. I felt someone patt me on back, i turned around, being given a note from Troy. I sighed softly, opening it and reading.
Gabriella,
Are you ok? Since lunch you haven't really Written to me. Are thought we were friends?
By the way, the gang is going out tonight. You should come? We are only going to a nearby diner for some food.
Please Write back!
Troy.
x
Ok, so i gave in and wrote back. How could i not? Wow, thats a start. (Jeez i sound desperate huh?)
Troy,
I'm fine - My hand just hurts that's all. And yes we are friends...Well i like to think so anyway.
So far you and the gang seem to be the only ones who even attempt to like me.
However, i don't think it's a good idea for me to come out tonight. Not being able to hear you guys, kinda puts a downer on things.
Maybe another time.
Gabriella (Or Gabi, Gabs, Brie...etc)
x
I folded the letter and passed it back to Troy, turning around before i could watch him read it. "Ok, everyone. You can go" I read the teacher say. I jumped up - grabbing my books and leaving the classroom quickly. I swear, i practicaly ran out of East High and into my moms car.
Gabi, are you ok? My mom signed alarmed.
I'm fine mom, first days are never good I winced.
Gabi! Your hand?"
It's doesn't matter mom, i tripped over. I lied. My mom eyeing me suspiciously. I turned away, noticing the gang and the blonde from homeroom, getting into their seperate cars. One thing was for sure I had soooo much more to learn about East High...I suddenly remembered the boys from lunch. It was wierd, i had seemed to be more caught up in Troy rather then thinking about the potential bully problem that was arrising. I just hoped it wouldn't come to anything.
Troy's P.O.V
Ok, it's official - I met the most amazing girl today. Yeah, she is deaf but she is incredible. I knew she was my new next door neighbour and had noticed her for awhile now, sunbathing in her white bikini, showing off her tanned body. Wow! I think we totally hit it off and have become good friends. And i know, having already got a girlfriend, it was kind of wrong of me to think of Gabriella Montez as anything other then a friend. But i couldn't help it. She was perfect, Beautiful brown hair, brown eyes, stunning smile. Slim figure and amazing curves...She was everything you could want. Which kind of made me think it was such a HUGE pity i had a girlfriend.
My girlfriends name is Melodie and she is hot...in her own way. We have been together for around a year now. Yeah, a long time right? ...Maybe too long. Many times i have thought about breaking up with her. But it just felt wrong, everyone liked her. My parents, my friends and yeah, me. Thing was I liked her, admittedly...alot. But it had just never got to the point where i was in love with her. So i guess you could say i was going out with her because i wanted to play it safe. Keep everyone happy. Don't get the wrong idea though, she did make me happy and i did enjoy having her as a girlfriend. But just maybe that wasn't enough anymore? Urgh this is stupid. I'm trying to contemplated my future with Melodie before it's even begun and that's all down to this mysterious Gabriella.
Oh boy was she mysterious and i'm not just talking about the deaf aspect. I mean in general - She was just sooo enticing. Honestly, from being joined to her, practicly all day, all i had learnt was she had moved here because of her moms job and the fact she had email and used to go to a hearing impared school, oh and not forgetting she could talk...but wouldn't (A/N: That doesn't make sense right?). Of course, it was kind of hard to have a proper conversation with her becuase of her not being able to hear me but she was pretty impressive when it came to lip reading.
I had invited her to come out with the gang, melodie and I but she turned me down. I could understand though, she would kind of feel like a fish out of water because she wouldn't be able to hear us. I did want to introduce her to Melodie though...
The gang and i sat in a diner booth, Melodie sitting on my lap. Attempting to feed me fries, when out of the blue Gabriella came up in the conversation.
"Gabriella seems nice" Sharpay said randomly.
"Yeah" Zeke agreed "She seems cool"
"Yeah but did anyone else find it extremely hard to communicate with her?" Chad asked.
"Well i didn't" Taylor smiled
"Duh, miss 'I can sign language' " Sharpay rolled her eyes playfully.
"Well, Troy spent practically all day with her, he seemed to communicate ok"
"Wait, Troy you spent all day with her? I though you were busy during free period?" Melodie asked suspiciously.
"I was, i was showing Gabriella around" I told her
"What? You picked her over me?"
"Ooooh, Mel are you getting jealous...Gabriella is very pretty" Sharpay teased
"I'm soo not getting jealous! Troysie, tell Sharpay" Melodie whined
"Shar stop" I said half-heartedly. Melodie acted like a little kid at times.
"Seriously Troy, what did you find out about her?" Chad asked
"Not alot really" I said "She keeps herself to herself."
"Come on...something?" Zeke wondered
"Umm well, i guess she moved here because of her moms job, oh and she can talk...she just seems to choose not too"
"Wow, but i mean, if she can talk why doesn't she?" Sharpay asked
"Because guys, when Gabriella talks it may not come out the same as our words do..." Taylor said matter-of-factly.
"Oh" Everyone nodded.
"She just needs friends right now guys" I said.
"Oh and i'm guessing your right there for her?" Melodie said sarcastically.
"Yeah, i am" I nodded, ignoring her raised eyebrow.
"And so are we" Taylor said grinning.
"Are you?" I asked Melodie.
"I guess i have no choice" Melodie shrugged.
Melodie could really be a bitch sometimes. I sighed, my mind drifting off, wondering what Gabriella was doing. Like i said, something about her was just soo...enticing.
And i was determined to find out more about her.
Yo,Yo,Yo!! Hows it going guys? Thanks for your reviews, muchly appreciated!! What ya reckon to this chapter? I know i drabble on sometimes, but i really want you guys to understand how people are feeling.
