Jealousy

Gabi's POV

Last week, my cousin Jenny came to live with us in Albuquerque and of course, I was happy since she was my only cousin and she was like my best friend. But I was also sad at the same time since her parents died in a car accident. I was excited since she gets to meet or probably be one of the gang and she will get to meet my boyfriend of year and a half, Kevin Miller. He is such a great guy and I love him for that.

I even told the gang to be nice to her even if they won't like her since I am pretty sure she is still devastated about her parents' death.

So, her first day in East High, she was asking me like a whole bunch of questions about Kevin and the gang, which consists of Taylor, Sharpay, Kelsi, Chad, Zeke, Ryan, Kevin, and me. She spent time with us during lunch time and almost all day.

What I didn't notice was how she always glares at me whenever Kevin kisses me or some people will just say hi. I was the most popular girl since I am the cheerleader captain and plus, I am dating Kevin, the basketball team captain.

Everyone got to like her and I am so happy for her. But what I didn't know was that one day, she would change my life forever.

Flashback

I came to school still wondering why Jenny didn't come with me. Every morning, she always comes with me in going to school. I entered East High and I immediately spotted the gang except for Kevin and Jenny.

"Hey Guys! Have you seen Jenny?"

The gang just glared at me and I looked at them confused.

"Hey cuz! What are you doing here?" Jenny said from behind and I turned around smiling. My smile immediately turned into a frown when I saw that Kevin's arm was around her waist.

"What's going on?" I asked angrily while looking at Kevin's messy hair and his lips smeared with lip gloss.

When Jenny whispered to me what happened, I was going to slap her but Sharpay held me back.

"Sharpay, let me go!"

"Whatever, backstabbing loser." Sharpay told me in response.

"What?" I turned around confusingly.

"Don't act like you never knew! You were talking bad things about us behind our backs!" Taylor said. Everyone else in the gang nodded in agreement.

"Good thing Jenny told us or else we would still be friends with a loser like you!" Chad said.

I was surprised and shocked. I never said anything like that before.

"What? She's lying!"

"As if we will believe you!" Kevin glared at me.

I was going to respond when Mr. Matsui spoke into the intercom, "Students, our school will be cancelled today because of a meeting. Thank you."

The gang left me and I can't help but to cry. I got into my Silver Infinity and drove to the park. I stayed there crying for half an hour and decided to drive home to tell my parents what happened. When I got into the driveway, I saw the gang's cars and their parents' cars there. I got out confused. You see, the gang and their parents including my parents are very rich. We have mansions and we live in the same neighborhood. When I opened the door, I saw everyone in the living room. I saw my dad glaring at me and my mom with tears in her eyes.

"What happened?" I asked basically everyone who was glaring at me.

My dad suddenly held up something. A pregnancy test?

I then saw my mom got up, went up to me, and slapped me in my cheek so hard that I backed away and held my stinging face.

"YOU ARE A DISGRACE!" my mom yelled.

"But that's not mine!" I told her also raising my voice.

"DON'T YELL AT YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT. IT WAS IN YOUR BATHROOM!" my dad roared.

"What?" I asked and then I suddenly looked at Jenny who had this innocent expression in her face.

I was going to attack her but Kevin held me back.

"I WANT YOU OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND THIS FAMILY!! FROM NOW ON JENNY IS OUR DAUGHTER!" my mom shouted at me and I saw everyone nodding in agreement.

I sobbed uncontrollably and went up to my room.

I got out my luggage and threw all my clothes in. When I realized I was done packing, I went downstairs crying and pulling my luggage. When I reached the door, everyone was glaring at me.

"GET OUT!" my dad yelled.

I went out of the door and put my luggage in the back of my car. I went to the driver's seat and put my head in the wheel sobbing uncontrollably.

I backed out my car in the driveway and remembered that I needed money. I went straight to the bank and withdrew all my money before my dad cancelled it.

All in all, I got $5,000. It's enough for me to travel to California.

I got a full scholarship to UCLA. I was supposed to be going to U of A with the others but then I guess they won't want me there. So that was my decision. Here I come, California.

End of Flashback

I am still driving and realized that I am almost there. I wiped the remaining tears and realized I can't cry anymore. I stopped by a near gas station and was filling up when my phone vibrated indicating there was a message. I narrowed my eyes when I saw it was from Jenny.

I read the message and gasped,

Gabriella,

I will admit. I was jealous. Jealous that you get to have wonderful family and friends but remember, you don't always get what you want. As you can see, I am now the new girlfriend of Kevin, and the new daughter of Andres and Marie Montez. Have a nice life!

Jenny

I felt so mad! How could she do that to me? I did everything for her. I went back into my car after I paid. I felt like I was going to blow up! I was still thinking about why Jenny would do that to me but then I realized a sign in my right side.

'WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA'
