New Town, New place, New friends, New boy?
One thing I hate about my life is that I always move my mom is always moving me and my older brothers. Sometimes I wish she just make our life easier and stay in one place, but she never seemed to care. She's that kind of person who puts work before family and she's told us before that we all sometimes have to take care of our selves and that's what we did for awhile. My older brothers, Alex, Ky, Justin, and Jacob, were there for me and I, Gabriella, was there for them so we're real close.
I have a dad if your wondering, but my mom said he wanted nothing to do with me, which of course, I knew wasn't true. I wanted to know what life was like with him, but I thought I'd never know. That was until during the Summer my mom came to me and my brothers saying our dad was going to have us for the rest of my years at school. We, of course, were excited, but then we were also curious. She said that she was planning on going to live a boyfriend and that he didn't want us there so she just gave us up. And so we went to live him and that is where my story begins.
Gabriella's POV (In Los Angeles, California)
I groaned as I heard my alarm clock go off. It was the first day at my new school here in California. I heard nothing, but my idiot brother's snore who was a room away from me. I got up and got my clothes and towel then went into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready. As I got out and got dressed I heard some movement and knew my dad was up and mostly likely Alex, the eldest of us, was up as well.
I went downstairs and into the kitchen where I saw my brother Alex and my dad. We moved in about two days ago so we don't know anybody here. "Hey Gabi!"Alex said as he was setting the table. All I said was "Hey" and then I went to get some orange juice. "You ready for your first day?" My dad asked. "Not really...I don't know anyone here." I mumbled. All he did was sigh and went back to cooking. I felt bad because he was trying to be a dad to me and I kept pushing him away. I sighed and said "Can you take me school Dad?" It's the first time I called him dad since we've been here. He smiled from ear to ear when I said that. "I love to Gabi." He answered and went back cooking.
We all started talking about random things and what we liked and all that stuff. My dad is cool guy I figured out. They rest of the family came down eventually and we took seats at the table and started eating and talking like a normal family. We then all cleaned up and got ready to go to school or work. My dad took Jacob and I to school. During the ride he asked why Ky doesn't go to school. "He never fit into school is what he said, but he really just wanted help pay for things at the house because mom never really did pay the bills so he took jobs here and there while the rest of us went to school." I said while biting my lip.
My dad just nodded and as if he understood what Ky was going through. All I did was look out the window and watched all houses and buildings went by.
We were finally at the school. I saw a big wildcat statue in the front of the school. I honestly just just rolled my eyes and got out of the car. Great. It's one of those schools...I thought. "Welcome to East High, Home of the champion Wildcats." My dad said. Again I rolled my eyes and we walked to the office to get our schedules and our dad left.
Jacob had to leave so I was on my own and so I went to my locker and opened it then put my stuff in it and took out a notebook, pencil and a book. I was a bookworm and not afraid to admit it. I closed my locker and went to find my homeroom class, Mrs. Darbus. When I found it I walked in and saw a few heads turn, but not much. I went up to Mrs. Darbus and handed her my slip. "Ahh...A knew mind to teach about the arts! Welcome Ms. Montez!" She said. The bell rung and that is where I knew I was going to be introduced.
I stood as she talked the class. "Everyone this is Ms. Gabriella Montez and she will be going here for the rest of high school so I expect everyone to be nice. Ms. Montez please tell us about yourself." She said. I just nodded and said "Umm...My names Gabriella or Gabi and I have four older brothers and one younger and I love to read and write. I sorta like Basketball and Football and I'm really smart and I'm sorta shy." "Very nice Montez you can sit by Ms. McKenesse." I went and sat by her.
"Hi I'm Taylor!" The girl said. "Hi" I said. "Can I see your schedule?" I nodded and gave it to her. "We have all the same classes except P.E." "That's great" I said and went back to look at the teacher. Instead I looked to see the brightest blue eyes like the color of the sky. I looked at him more and noticed he had dark brown hair, almost black, that looked smooth as silk and his body I could tell was all muscle and built like a body. I couldn't look away and then he smirked at me and winked. At me! He was wearing a black leather jacket and and dark skinnys and a black t-shirt with aviators hanging from it.
Then I felt a nudge in my rib I looked to see Taylor looking at me with disapproval. She gave me a note and I looked to see the words Don't you think about it. That is Troy Bolton and he is the player of the school and slept with almost every girl at the school. He is also captain of the Varsity Basketball Team and he is trouble with the capital TROUBLE. I wrote back saying Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to keep clear of him. I gave the note to her and then the bell rang and we went to our next class which was chemistry. Smart remember? Anyway I talked to the teacher and then assigned me to Taylor as a lab partner. That class went by fast and soon enough the bell rang.
Next class we went to was Parenting and Child Development. Taylor had to leave for a Decathlon thing so I was left alone. "Ok class for the rest of the year we will being a project with partners. You will get a fake marriage license and fake rings and you will become married and will take a baby home and you will figure out who is going to live where. I have let all the parents and teachers know. I will assign your partners." Then she started listing them off until she came to my name. "Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton...Taylor Mckennse and Chad Danforth..." Then she finally finished. "There will be no changes to the partners so you have the rest of the period to get everything settled with your partner." I groan the one time I try to avoid someone and I get stuck with them for the rest of the year.
Troy came over and smirked at me. I just hit my head on the desk repeatedly. "Now, Now lets not damage that pretty face of yours." He said. I just gave him the finger. "Let's just get to work..." I said. All he did was shrug. "We'll take turns staying at houses and no trying to pull anything on me got it or I'll make my brothers cut of your balls. What do want to name the baby." I said. "Troy" was all he said. "No it's getting your last name so come up with something better." "Fine. Kevin." This was gonna be a long day...
