Gabriella Montez walked down the halls of East High trying her best to ignore the stares that she was receiving. It was her first day and it was to be accepted. Gabriella finally found her locker after a while of searching and put her books inside. It had been a long day. No one had spoken to her. She had sat alone at lunch. She had not met many people as it was her first day. She was new to the school and new to figure out which was the cool crowd and which crowd was the nerd's crowd.
Gabriella grabbed her Princess Diaries story book from her locker and walked outside. There she saw a gang of boys surrounded by cheerleaders. It was obvious that they were the jocks as a bushy haired boy held a basketball.
"Hey, who's the new kid?" a voice called.
Gabriella looked up to see a sandy haired boy with blue eyes walking over to her, followed by the boys and the cheerleaders.
"I'm Gabriella Montez," Gabriella smiled, brightly.
"Oh, I'm Troy Bolton," the boy said, not very friendlily. "And I don't talk to nerds, so, get lost!"
Gabriella felt tears form in her eyes as the crowd burst out laughing.
"Yeah, that's right," a cheerleader sneered. "Start crying, Geeky Gabriella."
Gabriella turned around and ran.
"Run, Geeky Gabi," the bushy haired boy called. "Run home to your mommy."
"I think that's enough for today," Troy said. "We'll begin the real torturing tomorrow."
"Awesome," Chad Danforth, the bushy haired boy grinned.
"A new victim," Sharpay Evans, the cheerleader who had sneered at Gabriella smiled.
"That's right, baby," Troy said as he watched Gabriella run. He pulled Sharpay towards him. "A new victim for you while you're my victim."
Sharpay giggled in a high pitched tone and Troy winced. He did not really like Sharpay, but, she was the most popular girl in school and he was the most popular guy in school and that was all that matters. He had a reputation to protect and he could not tell the others what was really on his mind: That Gabriella girl is really hot!
