Almost Paradise

Chapter 1: The Dream Role

"Welcome to The Ivy Ms. Montez." Gabriella Montez stepped out of her Porsche, and every person surrounding the Beverly Hills restaurant did everything they could not to stare at the Hollywood starlet. However, most of them miserably failed and watched the brunette beauty, who was clad in a red off the shoulder shirt, skin tight jeans, high heeled knee high boots, walk into the restaurant with all the confidence in the world. As soon as she stepped in the hostess greeted her.

"Welcome Ms. Montez, Mr. Stagler has already arrived, come with me," the woman said.

"Thank you," Gabriella replied politely before following the hostess to a table where a middle-aged man clad in an expensive suit was sitting. As soon as he noticed Gabriella, he stood up.

"Hello beautiful," he said and she smiled and hugged him.

"Hello Robert," she replied.

"Enjoy," the hostess said and they thanked her before sitting down. Gabriella took off her Gucci sunglasses and placed them in her Louis Vuitton bag before turning to Robert.

"So what's the big news?" Gabriella asked.

"I have a part for you that you are going to love," he replied.

"How do you know?" she smirked

"I'm your agent Gabriella, I know what you like," he shot back and she laughed.

"Ok, so who is she?"

"The preacher's daughter…"

"The preacher's daughter?" she asked with her eyebrows raised, looking at him like he was out of his mind. If you knew Gabriella, you knew that she hated playing good, little innocent girls.

"Will you let me finish?" Robert asked and she rolled her eyes. "She's rebelling against him…"

"Ok that's more like it, how?" Gabriella asked seriously.

"By dancing," he answered and she looked at him confused. Ever heard of Footloose, Gabriella?" Her jaw dropped.

"Is that a serious question," she said in shock and he laughed.

"New Line is doing a remake. They're looking at a summer release, Adam Shankman's directing, and they want you to play Ariel," he said with a smile on his face.

"I'm being offered to play the female lead of Footloose," she said in shock.

"Well they need to see if you have chemistry with the guy who's playing Ren first, but yeah," he replied.

"Oh my god! Who's playing Ren?"

"That is something I am not telling you," he smirked.

"What?! Why not?" she asked, looking at him like he was crazy.

"Cause I want it to be a surprise," he replied with a smile on his face.

"You want it to be surprise or you don't want me to know?" she asked suspiciously.

"I want it to be a surprise. Trust me, you'll be happy," he replied confidently.

"I hate you, you know that."

"Hey, without me you'd still be a Disney Channel star."

"Yeah, yeah," she replied rolling her eyes.

About an hour later, Gabriella got back into her car, and immediately whipped out her phone, before dialing her best friend's number.

"Hey," a female voice answered.

"So I just talked to my agent, oh my god Tay you will never guess what part I'm being offered," she said immediately.

"Well hello to you too Gabriella," Taylor replied and Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Ok, what's the part?"

"Ariel in Footloose!" she exclaimed and Taylor froze.

"Oh my god," she said in shock, but not for the reason that Gabriella thought.

"I know!" Gabriella exclaimed proudly.

"Umm, do you know who's playing Ren?"

"No, Robert wants it to be a surprise," she replied and he let out a silent sigh of relief.

"Do you have to test with him?"

"Yeah, and if it goes well I have the part!" she exclaimed excited.

"Well…I'm sure it will go great," Taylor lied nervously.

"Thanks!"

"Of course…umm look Gabriella, I gotta go. Talk to you later."

"Ok," she replied and they said their goodbyes. As soon as Taylor hung up the phone she dialed another number.

"Hello," Chad answered.

"Hey Chad, it's me."

"Hey babe, what's up?" he asked is girlfriend.

"We have a problem. A big problem," she replied in an extremely stressed out tone.

"What's wrong?" he asked worried.

"World War 3 is about to begin," she replied.

"What? Why?" he asked confused.

"I just got off the phone with Gabriella, she just talked with her agent," Taylor started frantically.

"Ok…" Chad said, still confused and a little weirded out.

"She's just been offered the part of Ariel," Taylor said seriously and Chad froze.

"Ariel as in…" Chad said in shock.

"The female lead of Footloose, Ren's love interest, yeah," Taylor replied.

"Holy shit this is bad," Chad said, now getting stressed out as well. "Does she know?"

"What do you think? Of course not! You really think she'd be excited if she knew," Taylor replied, talking to him like he was insane.

"Good point. God Sharpay is gonna flip too," Chad sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"You think?!" she exclaimed sarcastically.

"What are we going to do?" Chad asked distraught.

"I say we leave the country."
