So how was your first day Gabi? My mother signed. We were having another one of our 'conversations' that i told you about. I was curled up on the sofa in the living room.

Good, but painful I signed back slowly. Stupid bruising!

Did you meet any new friends?

A few, our next door neighbour is one of them

The Boltons? They are very nice and the son is very cute

Eww, mom how old are you? I cringed, making my mom laugh.

So you are ok with your new school?

would you move us if i said no?

no.

Then im ok I signed, standing up. Going to bed, night mom.

Night sweetheart.

I nooded, climbing the stairs to my room, this day had just been sooo tiring. Hot neighbours, new friends and bullies...Looking back on it. It was hectic. I lounged onto my bed, opening my laptop my mom had just bought me as 'Sorry to move you from all that you know' present. Ok, maybe i hadn't thought about how difficult this was going to be - typing; one handed. But whatever, i soon signed onto MSN. A pop up showing up immedietly. BBallBoyTroy Is requesting to be your friend.

I giggled and clicked accept. Not expecting him to be online - However, no sooner had i though this a box flashed up.

BBallBoyTroy- Hey Brie..

GabiGeek - Brie?...

BBallBoyTroy - Yeah, is that ok? In your letter today you said i could...

GabiGeek - Oh yeah!! Sorry about that.

BBallBoyTroy - It's ok, so how are you?

GabiGeek - I'm fine thanks, you? Have fun tonight?

BBallBoyTroy - Yeah, i'm great and yeah i did. Pitty you didn't come.

I smiled happily.

GabiGeek - Sorry but, i wouldn't of felt comfortable.

BBallBoyTroy - It's ok, i just really wanted you to meet Melodie...

Melodie? Who the hell is Melodie..??

BBallBoyTroy - You know...My girlfriend.

Shit Shit Shit...God what the hell is wrong with me today! Did i take a stupid pill or something? Of course it's his girlfriend. Chill, Gabi act cool.

GabiGeek - Oh yeah, the one in homeroom. I didn't know you had a girlfriend?

BBallBoyTroy - Yeah, we have been together for 1 year.

Damn! That's a long time...

GabiGeek - Great...

BBallBoyTroy - You know, i was thinking Brie...Because we live next to each other, i could take you to school. Save your mom the trip.

GabiGeek - No, it's ok. I don't want to cause you trouble :S

BBallBoyTroy - No! I have my own car...it just makes sense. How about you come around mine in the morning and I'll take you.

GabiGeek - Well, sure...If you don't mind.

BBallBoyTroy - No! It's cool.

GabiGeek - Ok then, well i better go. Bye Troy.

BBallBoyTroy - Bye brie.

GabiGeek Signed off

I closed my laptop and my eyes, laying back on my bed, before i knew it, i was asleep.

The next day, you could say being nervous was an understatement for me. Hell, i was petrified. I guess it was because i was allowing the hottest guy i had ever met to take me to school. This was a big deal to me though. Troy Bolton, is officially my first ever crush. Honestly, i have never fell for someone like i have and still am doing for Troy. See, having a crush is kind of new to me. I have NEVER had a boyfriend before. Due to the fact at my old school they were all ugly, stupid and the fact no ordinary boy wants a 'deaf' girl to date.

I checked my reflection in my full length mirror before i headed downstairs. I was wearing a white smock boobtube, square pocket slouch jeans, Silver glitter flexi flats with a white plaited oversized shoulder bag and black Dior sunglasses. I smiled as i entered the kitchen, the smell of pancakes hitting my nostrils. Morning sweety, eat and then i will give you a ride to school. My mom signed.

No thanks mom, Troy Bolton from next door said he will give me a ride I signed back. I have to go now, sorry i haven't got time for breakfast

It's ok, have a good day I nodded, before turning around and leaving our house, the sun hitting my eyes. I squinted pulling down my sunglasses that were previously resting in the top of my straight brown hair. I obviously didn't have to walk long before i made it to Troy's. His house was alot like mine. Big and amazing. I walked up the drive towards their solid wood door and knocked.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the door swung open to reveal a pretty looking woman, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. Troy's mom. "Hey can i help you?" I read her say. I gulped, how the hell was i meant to answer? I took a chance and signed Hey, i don't know if you understand me but i'm Gabriella Montez, i live next door.She looked at me confusedly, but seemed to understand that i was deaf. Suddenly, Troy came into view. I couldn't help but stare at what Troy was wearing - or what he wasn't. What i mean is, he had jeans on, but nothing what so ever covering his tanned, toned, ripped chest and torso. I finally looked up at Troy who was smirking smugly. "Come in?" He asked. I nodded and entered his house with him and his mother.

I was led into the kitchen where i saw Coach Bolton from yesterday sitting, a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other. "Hello Gabriella" He nodded curtly. I waved to signal Hello.

"Wait, here. I'll be right back" Troy told me. I nodded as he left the room, leaving me in his kitchen with his mom and dad. Awkward much?

15 minutes later, Troy and i were sat in his car, about to pull away from his house. "You look really great today Gabriella, hows your hand?" Troy asked before pulling away. I sighed softly, before reached into my bag an pulling out a pad and pen. Thanks and it's ok I wrote. Troy nodded and we continued to drive. I was seriously beginning to love Alberqueqe. Ok, Albuerqueqe's scenery. I hadn't had a chance to check out the mall quite yet but it was definetly on my top 10 things to do. Overall, except from a few jerkish people, Alberqueqe seemed...Ok.

I saw Troy glance over to me, flashing a bright, white, winning smile. I blushed slightly smiling back. I gasped gently, feeling as Troys hand brushed accidently over my clothed thigh when he changed gears. He however, didn't seem to notice he did anything as he continued to drive. When East High came into view i smiled. I know, smiling when you see school? Dorkish. But whatever.

Troy pulled into a parking space, his face changing from a smile to a frown. I turned to where he was looking to see the girl from homeroom yesterday. His girlfriend. Melodie, and boy oh boy did she look pissed. I chuckled softly at what she was wearing. She looked like she had bought everything from sluts 'r' us - she was wearing a short black denim miniskirt with a tight fitting pink tank top that had 'Look but don't touch' written on it and some killer heels.

We got out of his car and i allowed Troy to lead me over to her, i really just wanted to run the other way. I watched confusedly as Melodie's expression changed when we were within distance. She suddenly became smiley and up-beat. "Hey Troysie!!" I read her say as she pulled him into a hug and kissed him, probably longer then she would have normally. I watched Troy push her away gently and say "Mel, this is Gabriella Montez"

She looked at me up and down, smiling obviously fakely. "Nice to meet you, I'm Melodie, Troy's girlfriend...Wait can you understand me?" She said bitchiness evident in her facial expressions.

I nodded like it hadn't affected me as the three of us noticed Chad, Taylor, Sharpay and Zeke walk up to us. The girls linking arms with their boyfriends. "Hey All" Chad said

I smiled while Melodie and Troy said hello. "Gabriella, hows your hand?" Taylor asked sincerely.

It's good thanks I signed to her - Taylor relaying the message.

"Oh by the way, Taylor and I are going shopping after school, then meet up with the guys, want to come?" Sharpay asked. Won't it be awkward? I signed to Taylor.

"No" The girls shook their heads.

Then yeah, it will be fun.

"Wait, i want to come shopping too!" I read Melodie say, picking up on our conversation although she couldn't understand me.

"You can't remember, you have a family dinner" Troy said to Melodie, his arm wrapped around her.

"Oh, right yeah" Melodie said, seemingly angry. I lost sight of the what was said next as i saw the guys from yesterday. The bullies walking into school, sneering in my direction. I jumped when i felt the spikey haired ring-leader pat my butt gently. I spun around glaring angrily, slowly turning back to the gang who obviously hadn't notcied anything.

I sighed softly, trying to pick up what was being said, as the gang and i began to walk down the hallway of East High to homeroom. The only thing i was happy about was that i was walking beside Troy who looked over at me now and again.

Troy's P.O.V

So, i officially have the best group of friends ever; i couldn't help but notice that morning that they were trying to make Gabriella feel more welcome, well everyone apart from Melodie. Maybe i'm being stupid but when she greeted Gabriella, she seemed - slightly fake. However, i pushed the thought from my head as Gabriella didn't seem to mind. I had to admit, that morning when i saw her at my front door. She looked hot, sexy, but yet casual. Yet Melodie looked kind of over dressed. Of course, i wasn't against the short skirt and tight top. What guy would be?? But overall she looked like she had tried too hard where Gabriella looked more of a natural beauty.

The day had spun by pretty quickly and yet again for the second day i spent most of it with Gabriella and Taylor as we all had the same lessons together (A/N: Except P.E - I mean, they share the same P.E lesson but it's Girls and Boys seperately...urgh you get me?). Sure, we had some with the others - Chad, Sharpay, Zeke...even Melodie. Admittedly, it seemed kind of awkward with Melodie now and again but other then that it was ok.

I am slgihtly worried about Gabriella, because, like yesterday. We seperated for her to go to her locker at lunch but she never met up with me. Causing The gang and i to go look for her. Only to find her sitting in homeroom once again - Looking like she had been crying. She brushed us all off though and told Taylor to tell us not to worry. I know something is up, just what?

"Gabriella, Come on Sharpay is giving us a lift to the mall" Taylor said to Gabriella at the end of the day. We had just had art, which was fun. It seemed to have cheered her up anyway.

I watched her sign something to Tay, then pull out a cool looking mobile. So she has a mobile? She began txting something before putting her phone away once again and looking up at me. "You have a mobile?"

She nodded smiling before signing to Taylor. Sign language looked extremely complicated. This sounds stupid but when i got home last night after being out with Melodie and the gang, i went on my laptop and read up about it. It looked pretty hard.

"She said yes, she uses it to txt her mom and just sets it too vibrate" Taylor recited.

I chuckled and nodded. "Dude, come on, we have basketball practice" Chad said to me.

"Alright, well see you later girls? Come meet us here?" I asked. Sharpay, Taylor and Gabriella nodded and walked away. I watched as they left, Gabriella laughing at something Tay had signed to her.

I shook my head and walked to the changing room with Chad and Zeke - My thoughts flickering between Melodie and Gabriella.

Sorry guys for the lack of updates...this past week i have been and still am very sick and have been off school. So i just haven't had the chance or energy to update. Luckily i'm feeling a little bit better - so here you go.

Sorry if it sucks too!
