Hi! So this is my first story and I'm really excited and really nervous at the same time. I was going to wait to post this until I had more chapters written, but I decided it couldn't wait anymore. So this is the prologue, and there might be a second part to it too. Not sure yet. I'm still in the middle of planning out this story, and I want to finish that before I start writing anymore chapters, so it might be 2 or 3 weeks before I update this again. Just letting you know.
This story is based off of the movie John Tucker Must Die. If you haven't seen it yet, what's wrong with you?! Go check it out now, please! I'm warning you now, this might not be what you expect out of a story based off of John Tucker Must Die if you have seen the movie. Troy is not the John Tucker of this story. I just couldn't turn my Troy into that! Sorry, but that's just not the way I see it. It might not make sense now, but you'll see how it all plays out. Like I said, this story is based off of the movie, so some of it might be extremely different and some of it might be extremely similar. It varies. Also letting you know, the chapters will all probably be different lengths. It depends on how much I feel needs to go into each chapter. Some might be around 10,000 words, and others might be around 3000. I know that might get annoying, but I'm going to do what I feel is best for the story. I hope you all stick with it anyway.
Here's a character list of who's supposed to be who for those of you who have seen the movie:
John Tucker- John Bolton (obvious, huh?) This character is played by Chace Crawford because I personally think he looks a lot like Zac Efron. At least enough to believe their brothers anyway. If this really bothers you though, you can keep John as Jesse Metcalfe. It doesn't really matter. But the descriptions might not always fit him if you decide to do that.
Kate Spencer- Gabriella Montez
Carrie- Taylor McKessie
Heather- Sharpay Evans
Beth- Kelsi Neilson (I know this character is nothing like Kelsi, but just go with me on this one ok?)
Scott Tucker (John's Brother)- Troy Bolton (you'll see.....)
Mrs. Spencer (Kate's mom)- Eva Mendez (I think she can pull off the same vibe as the mom in the movie, so yeah, it fits)
Tommy (John's best friend)- the same guy
Chad is Chad. He has the same role that he has in HSM3, Troy's best friend. I know there isn't really one in John Tucker Must Die, but there is in this story
So now that I'm done with this gimongous author's note, here it is! I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing from High School Musical or John Tucker Must Die. Wish I did though......
Summary: Gabriella Montez was invisible.... until she moved to East High. With the help of 3 revenge-driven girls, she plotted to break hotshot John Bolton's heart for playing girls. But she never planned on falling for his brother, Troy, along the way....
Gabriella Montez was invisible. She couldn't help it, it was just some sort of twisted curse life had placed upon her. She began to realize it in the seventh grade after moving to yet another school. Her third period gym class had been picking teams for dodge ball. She had been new for about a week now and really wasn't expecting to be picked right away considering she hadn't made any real friends yet. But as the selection pile dwindled further and further, her confidence plummeted in the same direction. And when the captains completely forgot to pick her and the teacher had to remind them there was still one person left, Gabriella knew she would never fit in.
From then on, Gabriella realized that her life pretty much sucked ass.
When it came to love, yeah, that pretty much sucked too. It's not that she didn't try. She always dressed nicely and put a little makeup on in the mornings. You would think with her long flowing curls and fit body boys would pay more attention, but no. Guys didn't seem to notice at all… just like everyone else in her life.
And to make things worse, there was another thing working against her too. Her mother, Eva Montez. You see, Gabriella's mom wasn't like most mothers. She didn't bake homemade chocolate chip cookies or volunteer for the PTA. She hated to admit it, but there was no denying that she had a smokin' hot mom. Once, when they had just moved into a new neighborhood, a boy around her age had come by the house to bring them welcome brownies his mother had baked fresh. The second he Gabriella's mother came down the stairs in a tube top and short shorts, he yanked the plate right out of her hands and practically dashed across the room to hand them top her mother instead. She swore she had never seen a teenage boy drool so much in her entire life.
Due to her mother's flawless face and, um, other assets, she never had any trouble landing men. She just had trouble keeping them. Where as guys didn't pay any attention to Gabriella, they would hoard after Eva. She'd dated every type of guy imaginable, from the burnt out alcoholic cowboy to the stern Russian trainer. But it was always just another hump and dump. She used to keep track of them all but soon there was no point, because they would all inevitably wind up doing the same thing. They would start off claiming they were going to be her new father, but after a few more rolls in the hay they would skip out on Eva and move on to the next thing they saw with big breasts. Gabriella was never surprised or hurt when they would leave. It was always the same.
The only thing that upset Gabriella when a new Skip would leave was the state they left her heartbroken mother in. Fortunately, Eva had formed a very mature way of dealing with a broken heart: gorging out on chocolate frosting. After a quick therapy session or two, okay, maybe three…Eva would break through her empty shell and decide a change was needed to fully get over Skip. So whenever that need for a change would arise, they would pack up all their belongings and flee to the next town in New Mexico.
In this way, Gabriella told herself that being invisible wasn't a bad thing. Without any friends, she never had to deal with the whole awkward goodbye thing. Plus, it meant she would never have to miss anybody or get hurt when friendships were lost. But deep down, Gabriella knew this was just a façade so that it would never get to her that no one wanted her. If she faced it with that attitude, she wouldn't have to admit the truth to herself. That was what would really hurt.
After the latest heart break from the newest Skip, Gabriella found herself seated on the bleachers of the crowded gym of East High in the middle of Albuquerque watching the Friday night basketball game. In the past two months, Gabriella had fully settled into her new home. All the boxes were unpacked, she had caught up with the school curriculum, and had even found herself a job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. She had also gone from being invisible to being somewhat noticed, even if it was just to ask her to move or to pass a note on to the next person. But that counted, right?
And in Gabriella's short time at East High, she had observed the biggest Skip ever known to women. She had met HIM. The one slam dunking the ball right now. The one who had all the girls swooning after him and all the guys lining up to be his best friend to gain some major rep points. The one who had those dreamy eyes and the sculpted body that was somewhere in between an Abercrombie model and a Greek god.
Who was this perfect specimen? John Bolton. The J-dog, the man, East High's king. As he ran up and down the court, playing the sport he was best at with perfected and flawless skill, there was no way Gabriella could have foreseen the upcoming events of the next few months. Neither she, nor John, or anybody else at East High knew what was coming for them.
Yes, this story was about John Bolton. And what he helped Gabriella find. It was about what and who he made her realize were really important. She helped him reevaluate his life. And in turn, he helped her gain confidence. Because of him, she had found friendship, happiness, and love.
But there was someone else too. Someone even more unexpected than John. Someone who would completely change her life forever.
He was the one who made her see that no one is ever really invisible.
