Well here goes my first attempt at a fanfiction! I like writing for you tube but her I can write so much more details and that sounded awesome so here I go…
Next to Nothing Chapter 1
No one's POV
It is a Monday morning and everything is calm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gabriella Montez, a 17 year old junior at East High School, is fast asleep in her bed. Around 5:30 am, her mother, Annez Montez, walks into her daughters room to wake her sleeping daughter for school. "Gabriella", she whispered as she stroked her daughter's hair, "It's time to wake up sweetie."
"Huh?", she answered tiredly. "What time is it?"
"It's 5:30 honey", her mother replied.
"Mom, I usually don't get up until 6", Gabriella answered. She grabbed her teddy bear that she had gotten when she was born and rolled over and closed her eyes once again.
"Honey, I have to go away for work this morning and I wanted to say goodbye before I left", she said while continuing to stroke her daughter's hair. Annez Montez is a famous fashion designer and her job took her away from home a lot. But, on the bright side, Gabriella would always get the best and newest clothing and accessories from all the top brands like Gucci and Vera Bradley.
"Again?", Gabriella asked stunned although she knew that her mother would be leaving soon for she had been home for almost 3 weeks. "You just got home like a couple weeks ago. Where are you going this time; China, Spain, Greece?", she sat up and faced her mother waiting for her response.
"Paris", she answered knowing that it would hurt her daughter.
"You mean like Paris, France?", she asked with her jaw hanging open.
"Yes. Paris, France. But honey, it will only be for a couple of weeks and then I will be home again and we can spend a whole weekend just shopping and hanging out.", she said trying to comfort her.
"Why do you always have to leave the country? Why can't you just go to New York or somewhere close to home?", Gabriella asked knowing that she was fighting a broken cause. Although she liked having her freedom, she missed her family and it was a little creepy living in the huge house all by herself. Her mom was gone all the time for work and her father, Ricardo Montez, is a Commander in the Marines. He is overseas in the war and Gabriella misses him a lot. She has always been a daddy's girl and with him being away, it hurt her not being able to spend time with him. But hey, there was nothing that she could do to make him come home. He loves what he does and would do anything to help it out.
"I'm sorry honey", she answered apologetically, "The fashion business is a worldwide business and you know that. I have to go but know that I love you so much and can't wait until I can come home again." With that, her mother stood up and leaned over to hug her daughter one last time before she left.
Gabriella also reached over to her mother to hug her too. She whispered, "I love you too Mommy, be safe please."
"I will sweetie, I promise", she let go of Gabriella and walked towards the door. She looked back and blew a kiss to Gabriella. "I love you honey. I'll be back soon. Have fun. Bye."
Gabriella's POV
Ugggg! Why can't she just stay home! I leayed down and covered my eyes with my hands and took a few deep breathes and relaxed. I guess that I could start to get ready for school. With that, I Got up and stripped to nothing and walked into my bathroom and turned the shower on steaming hot. I love taking nice long, relaxing, and hot showers. They just make me feel so good. About a half hour later, I stopped the water and got out and wrapped a towel around my petite body. I then walked into my huge walk-in closet and searched for something to wear. Hmmm, how about this? Yeah, that will work. I laid it out on my bed and went back into the bathroom.
I dried my hair and decided to straighten it today and then I applied my make up. I went back out into my room and put on the outfit that I had picked out earlier. It was a mini strapless dress that was black on top and was light blue on the bottom and had a stripe of white on the bottom. I put it on and looked in the mirror. Wow, Mike is going to like this. I smiled and went to my closet and picked out black Prada stilettos and put them on.
Mike has been my boyfriend for about 2 ½ years now. We met when we were freshmen and had crushes on each other so we decided to go out and we have been dating ever since. He is the varsity captain for our school's hockey team and he is so HOT! Well, with all the workouts he does, it would be hard not to have a nice body. Well, I guess I am lucky to have him because every single girl in our school wants to date him.
After getting dressed, I went downstairs to get an apple for breakfast. I was never really one for breakfast, I am never really hungry in the morning but whatever. After I ate the apple, I went back up to my room and put all of my books in my bag, I grabbed my purse, put perfume on, and added my bracelets and went downstairs and looked at my phone. It was 7:00 so I went out to my little black BMW convertible and drove to school.
When I got there, Mike was waiting by his car for me. Once he saw me pull in, he walked over to my car like he always did. I got out and was getting my stuff out of the back seat when he came up behind me and put his hands on my waist.
"Hey sexy", He said. "You look so hott today!"
I giggled and turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Oh do I now?", I asked jokingly.
"HELL YES!", He kissed me and I smiled. Then he put his arm around my waist and we walked into school together. "How was your night?", he asked when we got to my locker.
"Okay I guess, my mom is leaving for Paris this morning so I am gonna be alone again for a while.", I told him.
"Well, how about we throw a party this weekend then you won't be alone.", he suggested.
"I don't know, it probably isn't the best idea", I told him truthfully.
"Come on babe, it will be fun.", he was smiling and I didn't want to hurt him so I agreed halfheartedly to have a party. But, he could sense that I really didn't want to. "I got everything under control, I'll handle everything and you won't have to do anything but shop for a hott new outfit.", he said and kisses me quickly then walked off to class. "I'll see you at lunch." I guess this could be sort of fun.
I walked to My first period class which was Theater Arts with Ms. Darbus. She is the most insane teacher ever but I love art and performing so I sorta like this class. I sat down and started doodling in my notebook.
Lunchtime
I sat down in my normal seat and was followed a few minutes later by none other than Mike.
"Hey babe", he said and then pecked me on the cheek. "Okay, during free period, I went to the computer lab and printed these out.", he pulled out a stack of paper that were invitations to my party that I didn't even want to have.
"OMG! They are so cool!", I said trying to be excited and it fooled him.
"I'm glad you like them.", he laughed. "Anyway, it is going to be this Saturday from 9pm till like 3 am or something like that. It is gonna be like the party of the year.
"Awesome.", I said. "I can't wait.", I gave him a fake smile. And kissed him on the cheek again.
The Next Day
"OH MY GOD! Gabby! Why didn't you tell me!", squealed my best friend Sharpay Evans.
"Tell you what?", I asked really confused.
"That you were having a party! It is gonna be so fabulous!", she said. Oh right, that. The Party.
"I know it is gonna be awesome! Do I do anything but the best?", I laughed as well as she.
"Let's go shopping tonight and we can get our outfits!", she said while clapping and jumping. She is a little out there sometimes but I still love her like a sister.
"Alright, I could get something for Mike.", I said.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at like 4 and We'll go to the mall.", She skipped away happily and I sighed. Then I turned around and slammed right into someone and my books fell to the ground.
"I am so sorry.", I said and then looked up and saw Chad. "Never mind, I am so not sorry.", I laughed and he helped me pick up my books. Chad has been like my older brother for like ever. I've known him since we were in diapers and I love him like he was my own brother.
"Hey! That's no way to treat your brother!", He acted serious and put his hand over his heart and acted hurt.
"I'm sorry", I gave him my famous puppy dog pout and he laughed and hugged me and then we started walking and he put his arm over my shoulder like he always does. No one really thinks anything of it cause they know how me and Chad are.
"So, how are things on the party going?", He asked and I sighed.
"I hate it, I'm just letting Mike go free on whatever he wants.", I vented to him. "I didn't even want the party but please don't tell him", I looked over at him and he smiled and he zipped his lips like when we were two.
"Sworn to secrecy.", he replied and we both laughed.
"Your so immature", I laughed and hit him on the side of the head playfully.
"Fine Gabs, I see how it is.", He was serious for a minute and then we both started cracking up. Then, Mike walked over.
"What's so funny guys?", Mike asked.
"Nothing", I smiled and continued laughing. Chad did the same.
"Okay whatever.", He said sounding a little annoyed. "Hey, did you see that new kid? He should go back from where he came from. He doesn't fit in here at all."
"What new kid?", I asked. Mike pointed behind me and I saw him and there was a kid that was wearing a dark blue graphic tee, Black jeans and a white belt and he was wearing checkered vans. Not that I would let anyone else know, but I thought that he was hott and that style fits him. "I don't know either. Wait, why doesn't he fit in?", I asked kind of curious.
"First of all, just look at the way he dresses and then I heard from someone that he doesn't have a lot of money.", I looked at him shocked and kind of angry. How can he just judge him like that?
"So, It doesn't matter how much money someone has or how they dress. Wait, Is that why you like me!? IS IT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND HAVE A HOTT BODY?", I asked and I was really pissed off! Everyone was staring but I didn't care.
"Gabby, Shut the fuck up! People are starting to stare.", I can't believe that he would say that to me!
"BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT! AM I JUST YOUR ARM CANDY FOR YOUR PATHETIC LIFE?", I screamed at him and Chad had to hold me back cause I was so pissed off at Mike.
"GABBY! SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!", he yelled back at me. That was the final straw, he was going to get it now.
"DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP!", I moved out of Chad's grip and started to back away.
"Baby, I'm didn't mean it like that.", he said calmly and then he grabbed my wrist.
""LET GO!", I screamed and started to cry while trying to pull my arm away.
"No, we are gonna work this out", Mike told me and I couldn't believe that he could be so thick skulled.
"I want a break from you now let me go dammit!", I said a little quieter and was still crying.
Mike pulled me towards him and tried to hug me. "I'm so sorry babe.", he said.
"Please let me go.", I said still crying and he didn't so I screamed at him again. "I SAID LET ME GO DAMMIT! I NEED TO THINK THIS OVER!"
"No.", Mike said while still holding me and I pushed against him and he wouldn't let go.
"Just let her go already. It's obvious that she's pissed at you.", said an unfamiliar voice. I looked over and it was the new kid that Mike had been talking about. Now that he was close I could see that he had gorgeous blue eyes that were crystal clear and he was tall probably about 5'10 and had a medium build. Just then Mike let go of me and I fell back into Chad's arms and Mike turned to the new kid and started to talk to him.
"And who the HELL do you think you are?", Mike asked and I could tell that he was pissed.
"By the looks of it, she doesn't want to be near you right now.", He said.
"And that gives you the right to just walk up and butt into our conversation?", Mike was really getting mad now.
"Yeah, it does. If she wants to be left alone, leave her alone.", the new kid said. Why is he defending me, he doesn't even know me and he is doing this.
Mike walks up and is about a foot away from the other kid and he says, "You better watch yourself!"
I immediately struggled out of Chad's grip and rushed over and put a hand on each of their chests and pushed them apart. "Settle down you two!", I said trying to break up the fight. Then Mike grabbed my hand and he pulled me towards him again.
"MIKE! STOP IT! LET GO OF ME!", I yelled not caring what anyone thought.
He let go and was more pissed than I have ever seen him. "Fine Gabriella.", he walked away and glared at the new kid as he walked past.
Everyone went back to what they were doing and then I noticed that the new kid was walking away so I went over to him and taped him on the back smiling. "Hey", I said and he turned around and I was staring into his amazing blue eyes and forgot what I was gonna tell him. "Uhh…, Thanks for that, Mike can be an ass sometimes.", I smiled at him.
"I'm glad I could help.", he smiled and held out his hand for me to shake it. "I'm Troy." I took his hand and shook it.
"I'm Gabriella", I smiled. Then I asked, "Do you need help getting anywhere?"
He pulled out his schedule and said, "Umm.. Theater Arts with Darbus.", He looked up at me and I smiled and laughed.
"OMG! That's my class too! I'll show you. Come on.", We started walking to class. When we got there all the girls heads turned and they stared at Troy in awe. I mean who wouldn't, he is hott. I told him to go and check in with Darbus and I took my seat.
"Ahh, Mr. Bolton. We've been expecting you. Please take a seat next to Ms. Montez.", Darbus said and he turned around and smiled and came back and sat next to me.
I whispered to him, "A little outrageous isn't she?", I said and we both laughed quietly.
"Just a tiny bit, I barely even noticed", he answered back and then smiled. Then we were torn out of our little conversation By Ms. Darbus.
"Ahh, Mr. Bolton and Ms. Montez, since you two are so talkative, you can do your project together.", she said.
I blushed and said, "Okay Ms. Darbus."
She went back to the lecture that she was giving and Troy leaned over to me and said, "Sorry." I looked at him and smiled also.
"I don't mind.", and we both smiled and sat through the rest of class.
The Bell rang and Troy got up and was about to leave. "Troy, wait!", I called out and he turned around and looked at me.
