Previously –

I had a new girlfriend. Gabriella.

I didn't care that she wanted to keep it a secret. In fact, I understood entirely.

I couldn't take the smile off my face as Gabriella lay in my arms for the rest of the night till I had to go. Both of us holding hands, our fingers entwined.

Although, UN-be known to Gabriella, I was far from done with Melodie. She couldn't just go around hurting Gabriella like that, leaving terrible bruises - Causing my Gabriella pain. She didn't deserve it - So I knew it was about time I spoke to Melodie and got a few things settled.

Thing was, Melodie wasn't the most understanding person ever.

Gabriella's P.O.V

I sat on the desk, Troy in-between my legs, entrapping me as our lips met. To us, it didn't matter that they were in a deserted classroom - All that mattered was that we were together, sharing a cherished moment like all of our kisses. Troy's hands slipped to my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck, our lips never leaving one another's.

It had been a week since Troy and I had decided to keep our 'relationship' a secret. It had been a bumpy week - After only 2 days of dating it had become apparent to me and Troy that hiding our relationship was hard. We had every lesson together and continuously had trouble hiding stares and lust filled moments.

Melodie was not adding to the easiness of our secret keeping. In fact she was becoming a right pain in the...derriere. She NEVER left Troy alone and took every opportunity to flirt with him. Of course, Troy tried to keep well away from her but it was like the girl could read minds or something - She knew exactly where he would be at a certain time.

According to Troy he had spoken to Melodie about my bruised arms, surprisingly causing Melodie to stay away from me. I have no clue what he said to her but she had stepped down from physically hurting me to just sending me evil stares which were actually quite impressive as far as evil stares go. To Troy's and mine surprise the gang who we hanged around with the most did not suspect a thing...not an ounce. It was weird considering, but I let it slide because I was getting on with them all so well. They had all adapted to my hearing disability quite well and were getting the hang of how to 'handle' it.

All in all though, I had stayed away from kissing and being with Troy in a boyfriend/girlfriend way when in public but when it was behind closed doors - This class rooms for instance - we didn't try to hide our affection. I smiled into the kiss before Troy pulled away and attached his lips to my neck, sucking on the soft spot that he knew would send me reeling. It was weird how after such a short time Troy knew things about me...and what I liked. Soon, Troy pulled away "The bell just went, we have to get to Maths" I read Troy say. I frowned annoyed, but jumped off the desk none the less.

"Come on" Troy smiled, taking my hand and leading me into the hall, having to drop it quickly. We walked down the east high hallway, sneaking quick glances at each other and smiling.

Troy made me feel special. There was no denying it. I felt incredible around him - Confident, happy, on top of the world....The best I have ever felt before. I didn't know I could get such strong feelings for someone, so quickly. But it was happening and I had nothing against it at this point; I doubt I ever would.

We both walked into Maths and took a seat next to each other - Things just seemed...perfect.

I spent the whole morning with Troy, up until the period before lunch as it was P.E and the girls and boys were separated. We both walked out of art, after an extremely good lesson where the teacher had left us to get on with our on going project and Troy had taken the opportunity to send rather cute, Troyish notes to me that made me smile the instant I read them. When he signaled that the bell had gone and that we needed to get going I felt kind of sad. - We had to go our separate ways for P.E - I hated P.E.

I could never understand what Ms Caswell - The female P.E teacher was instructing to us to do and she was never very patient with me so she would point for me to sit out then set the other girls going on their task before coming over and suggesting I just watch for the lesson. I very rarely did anything and it sucked. I hated being told that because of my disability, I couldn't do certain things. Such things - I could understand, like the fact I couldn't talk on the phone with someone. But it wasn't like it was impossible for me to do P.E at all. The P.E teacher just couldn't be bothered.

Troy and I walked along the corridor, side by side, arms touching to form some kind of contact between us as we couldn't hold hands. It was surprising how close Troy and I had gotten in a matter of a week... I loved having any such contact and the minute the contact was broken I felt...Torn and in-complete. Now that was a feeling I hated.

I looked at him smiling, as I ignored the many students who were passing us. To me - Especially to me, it felt like Troy and I were the only two people alive at that moment. I couldn't hear the yelling of people in the hall, I couldn't see their faces either as my eyes were only focused on my boyfriend. My Boyfriend. Because he was the only important person there.

When we reached the doors that led to the different changing rooms of FEMALE & MALE, I sighed sadly. Troy looked down at me, his gym bag in his hand. He smiled encouragingly at me. "Have fun Brie, I'll see you soon"

I rolled my eyes. Troy didn't know just how much I had come to hate P.E; in fact he thought I enjoyed it as he did. But that was not the case. He looked around the now, barely busy hallway and quickly and sneakily planted a kiss on my lips before winking and walking into the guys changing rooms - Before I could even blink or register what was happening.

I sighed once again before pushing open the door marked "Female" and walked into the changing room. I walked straight over to my normal spot, next to Taylor and Sharpay, ignoring the glare off Melodie as I walked past.

"Gabi, did you get told? Ms Caswell and Mr. Bolton are mixing the P.E groups today" Sharpay told me after she had got my attention.

I looked at Taylor Why? I signed to her.

"I don't know, I think because Coach Bolton has to do an assessment of Ms Caswells teaching or something..." Sharpay said off handedly.

I nodded before smiling. That meant Troy would be in my P.E group today. That would mean I was with him. I found myself practically beaming as I opened my gym bag and began getting changed.

Taylor, Sharpay and I walked out of the female changing rooms, dressed and ready for the lesson - Much like the rest of the girls. Part of me was looking forward to it - I was with Troy. But another part (A much bigger part) felt worried - because like I have already said, my P.E lessons never went well and I would probably make an idiot of myself, this time in front of Troy.

I saw Troy instantly, standing with Chad and Zeke, a basketball in his hand, smiling and chatting away. His eyes flickered up as I stared at him and our eyes caught each others. I smiled at him weakly.

Are you ok? Troy signed to me after dropping the basketball.

Yes I signed back to him.

He looked unconvinced and immediately began to walk over to me. He reached me within 5 seconds. "You sure you're ok?"

I nodded.

"Its cool we have a lesson together today isn't it" he smiled softly.

I nodded, smiling. Very cool I signed lamely, my heart obviously not in it.

I noticed Troy was about to question me, but was stopped by Coach Bolton and Ms Caswell entering the gym. He turned away from me slightly, listening to what was being said. I was too far away from either of the teachers to understand any of it. It was a horrible feeling. Then, everyone seemed to move suddenly. Everyone knew what they were meant to do and I had no clue. I noticed that Troy was quickly surrounded by his buddies but thankfully that didn't stop him ignoring them and turning to look at me. "We have to get into groups; do you want to come with me?"

I smiled gratefully at him and nodded. I followed Troy with Taylor, who had joined us and Troy's buddies over to an empty space of the gym. We stood there waiting for instructions when suddenly, Ms Caswell walked over to me. Everyone in my group watched as she spoke to me, while Coach Bolton spoke to the rest of the group, obviously not noticing that Ms Caswell was no longer at his side.

"Ms Montez, I think it's probably best you just sit out for today's lesson and just watch okay?" I read her say.

I sighed, I knew that was coming. Not wanting to make a scene or anything though, I decided to do as I was told and went to turn away, only for someone to grab my hand and pull me back. It was Troy, he released my hand and I now saw him talking to Ms Caswell. I read his and her lips carefully.

"Why does Gabriella have to sit out?" he asked her pointedly.

"I just thought it would be easier on everyone if she was to sit out." Ms Caswell replied.

"Well I think that's unfair. I didn't know east high discriminated against people with certain disabilities." Troy said now, I could tell by his features and the way that his eyes fired up that he was not happy, in fact he seemed borderline angry.

"Mr. Bolton, I am not discriminating against her"

"You could have fooled me. Gabriella maybe deaf but she can do a lot more then your giving her credit for." He said "She may not be able to do most things, but a simple warm up she is capable of. Have you even let her try?!"

Ms Caswell seemed shocked now that Troy was defending me so much. Everyone in the gym was now watching and by the looks of Chad, Taylor and all my other friends, they seemed to be agreeing. I gulped when I realized Coach Bolton was now near the group of us and he didn't look all to pleased either.

"What is going on here?" he asked his son and Ms Caswell, waiting for someone to answer, Troy was first.

"I'm just merely asking why Ms Caswell has decided that Gabriella is not capable of doing P.E" Troy told his father.

"You told her she couldn't do P.E?" Coach Bolton looked astonished as he stared at Ms Caswell.

"Well…I…Urm…Well yes. It's easier…"

"Well Ms Caswell I don't care if it's 'easier'. Last time I checked, Gabriella is a student at this school and deserves to be treated like anyone else. She should be allowed to do all she is capable of and if you don't agree, I suggest you leave this gym right now" Coach Bolton stated firmly, there was certainly no messing with him.

Ms Caswell didn't move however, or make any attempt to leave. In fact she just stood there, her face white and obviously surprised at what was happening.

When Coach Bolton realized she wasn't going to leave he spoke again "Now, I think you owe Ms Montez an apology"

I was blushing profusely now. Had this all really happened? It would have been so much easier for me to have just gone and sat out…

Ms Caswell nodded and turned to me. "I'm sorry" I read her say.

I nodded in acceptance and watched as Ms Caswell and Coach Bolton walked over to the rest of the group, trying to get their warm-ups going once again. I turned to Troy now, who had nudged me for my attention. Are you okay? He signed to me.

I nodded Thank you.

The rest of the P.E lesson was really not bad. It was difficult and challenging, but that was the way I liked it. Coach Bolton was really understanding and asked Troy and Taylor to help me understand what to do and didn't mind if he, himself had to explain things over and over again. I didn't manage to do everything, but it would only be a matter of time before I could, it was all a matter of practice and getting used to everything.

Troy had been a star and I owed him so much for helping me with Ms Caswell, who had now stayed away from me whenever it was possible; which I didn't really mind.

After I had gotten changed I went to leave the changing room with Taylor and Sharpay, who had both told me that everyone had thoroughly enjoyed Troy and Coach Bolton's confrontation with Ms Caswell and that apparently it was the only thing people were going to talk about for the rest of the day.

As I entered the hallway from the changing room, I noticed that it was packed full of students, going to their locker before going off to lunch. I smiled as I noticed Troy, Chad and Zeke waiting outside for us. Zeke and Chad quickly took hold of their girlfriend hands and kissed their lips briefly while Troy said Hi to me. "Gabriella you were really good today. You can play pretty well" Chad commented after gaining my attention.

Thanks I signed and noticed that this time, it was Troy who translated.

"Dude, you're seriously learning that sign language stuff aren't you?" I read Chad say to Troy who just smiled sheepishly as we began to walk down the hallway. My locker was the first stop. I reeled in the combination and dropped my Gym bag off before I closed it again and turned back around to the group to see that they weren't there any longer, well not all of them. In fact, only Troy stood there.

I looked confused. Where had they gone? I wondered.

"I told them to go ahead and that we would meet them in the cafeteria" Troy told me. "Come with me?" He asked.

Without a second thought I agreed and I followed him down the hallway and through a plain door that had a sign on it that said ROOFTOP. It was in a secluded part of the school so I doubted anyone was allowed up there, but I trusted Troy and continued to follow him. He took my hand once we were through the door and led me up 3 flights of stairs and through one more door and then I gasped. We were on the roof and it was incredible. It wasn't just a plain roof, with nothing on it. This roof was special, there were so many different kinds of flowers all over it so it look and smelt beautiful. So strong and so amazingly lovely.

Troy smiled at the bright, surprised expression on my face. "You like?" He asked me.

I nodded enthusiastically.

"This place is a secret. No one knows about it. Well no one apart from me and you." He winked and walked me out so we were on the centre of the roof, then to my delight; he rested his hands on either side of my waist and pulled me close to him. "You're so beautiful" he told me

I blushed deeply and reached my hand up so my fingers tangled in his gorgeous hair and I gently pushed his head down to mine and planted a kiss onto his lips. We kissed for a matter of moments before Troy pulled away. "Gabriella?"

I nodded for him to continue.

"Talk to me? I want to hear your voice"

I shook my head. No. He couldn't hear my voice, it probably sounded horrible.

"Please baby" he begged, leaning down and kissing along my neck and up to the soft spot, just under my ear. I could feel myself melting at the touch of his lips and his hands massaging my waist. He moved back into my eye line and rested his forehead against mine and looked me directly in the eyes, in the most lovely and romantic way. His eyes were so blue, so amazingly blue. How could I say no? I never let anyone hear me talk but I felt safe with Troy; I doubted he would make me feel bad if it sounded terrible would he? One time couldn't hurt…

I moved my head, so my chin rested on his shoulder and I wrapped my arms around him as if we were hugging, making sure my lips were right next to his ear. Slowly and to the best of my ability, focusing hard on what I was trying to do; I pronounced the first words that came to my mind.
