Chapter 1 – White Horse (by Taylor Swift)
Best friends Gabriella and Troy are in the junkyard finding parts for Troy's truck. Gabriella is a boyish, simple girl who really doesn't care about what she looks like, what she wears and what she does. She lives with her Uncle Anton and her three cousins/brothers – Kevin, Elmer and Jake. Troy is the son of the East High Wildcats basketball coach. He is a basketball player and heartthrob. He is the total opposite of Gabriella.
GPOV:
What an afternoon! Luckily, I am with my best friend, Troy. We've been friends since birth. We saw each other grow up physically, mentally and emotionally. I don't really care if I don't look like his best friend.
"Hey Gab! I found this blue paint. Do you think it suits my truck?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, it does. Let's put it on."
We've been doing this since he got his truck. It was a white two-seater truck but is really old. I've told him a million times that he needed to replace his car but he said he is still saving for it.
"You've got to get a new car if you're going to impress Sharpay Evans." I said.
He's been crushing on Sharpay since third grade. I admit that I like my best friend but he just doesn't seem to notice. Sharpay is the head of East High's drama club. She flirts with Troy but she totally hates me.
"I can't. I need more money." He said.
The next day, we went to school and here comes the queen!!!
"Hey, what's your name again?" she asked like I am a pet dog.
"Gabriella!!" I practically yelled at her, oops!!!
"Yeah, you, may I ask about what Troy's doing today?"
"I don't know. I am not his daily planner or his assistant. Why don't you go ask him?" I said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, I was planning to do that. Okay, see you later, junk lady." She said batting her eyelashes. Ugh, I hate that woman.
Miss Darbus gave me a rough time today and I really needed to go home. I was about to ask Troy if he will give me a ride home when, "Hey Troy! Do you want to go out with us?" Sharpay asked while her brother, Ryan practically tagged alongside her. "Yeah sure, I'd love to. Gabriella, will you drive my truck home?" my best friend asked. "Yeah, sure." I replied with a nod. Around Sharpay, he acts like he doesn't know me but heck, I need to go home.
When I got home, I saw the three stooges – Kevin, Elmer and Jake – in front of the porch of our house. Kevin is the oldest of the three. He is big, strong and mischievous. Elmer is the second and he is also muscular but is kinder than Kevin. He is sensitive and even though he is funny, he understands me more than the other two. Jake is the youngest, we're of the same age and he is very playful. The three of them are overgrown kindergarteners.
Besides the three of them, I also saw two fancy Porsche cars parked in front of our house. "What's going on here?" I asked. "I don't know. Dad kicked us out when these people came." Kevin answered pointing to the cars. "Yeah, but you might need to go in. You look like you could crash anytime." Elmer said. "Gabs, what the heck happened to you anyways?" Jake asked. "Nothing, just Sharpay trouble, can I go now?" I said heading for the door and the three of them nodded. I was about to open the door when the knob turned. My Uncle Anton was there and he asked me to sit on the couch facing our visitors.
"Gab dear, remember what I said that I am not your true father?" he asked and I replied with a nod.
"Well, these people are your true family." He said introducing me to a rich looking family. "This id your older brother, Kellan, and these are your true parents, Elizabeth and Peter Montez." He said. "When you were born, my deceased wife mistakenly identified you as our daughter. They got the dead baby instead of you. I found this out right after you Aunt Isobelle died. I searched for your parents and here they are."
My ears could not believe what my uncle said. I forced the tears to not come out of my eyes but I couldn't control them. I wanted to say something but I could not force my mouth to open. I just darted out of the living room and headed to my room. I sobbed trying to put myself together. When I did, I came down with courage and faced the bitter truth laid out in front of me.
"Okay, so you are my true family." I said. "Yes and we want you to live with us in Seattle." Peter said. "Sixteen years, you've kept this from me for sixteen years." I thought through their offer and when I realized that I really should go to Seattle, I said, "Okay, I'll come with you but not today. You can come back tomorrow and after school, we'll leave. I still need to say goodbye to my friends." "Okay, I'll be the one to pick you up, little sis." Kellan offered and I nodded in reply.
The next day, I planned to see my girl best friend, Taylor first. "Taylor, I need to talk to you." I said and she followed me to the chemistry lab.
"What's up, Gabriella?" she said.
"Here's the thing, I found out about the whole truth last night…" I explained to her everything.
"Gabs, you'll go Seattle? She asked and I nodded weakly. "Oh, I'll miss you so much. You'll call right?? "Yeah, I will call. We'll leave this night. I just went to school to drop out." I said. We said our goodbyes and we shared lunch together. Okay, no, I need to find Troy Bolton.
It's nearing dismissal but I couldn't find Troy. I checked the gym and there he is. "Troy, I'd like to talk to you." I said. "There you are. You didn't bring my truck home." He said angrily. "What? Well maybe you should drive it home this time. You were the one who disregarded his best friend yesterday and you still have the nerve to be angry at me? You are such a jerk, Troy Bolton!" I screamed. I pulled myself together and told him about my family.
"Well, I was just about to tell you that the reason I went to school today to drop out. My real family showed up yesterday. It turns out that the live in Seattle. My real dad is a doctor and my real mom runs a fashion magazine there. And they asked me to live with them…in Seattle. We're leaving tonight." I said.
He still couldn't say anything. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Goodbye, Troy Bolton." I said leaving him alone.
My brother, Kellan picked me up after school when Sharpay started another drama. "Oh look, the junk lady's got a new racket!" everybody laughed. I didn't mind her but my brother stepped out of his black Porsche.
"Hey Pinky, you should stop messing around with my sister. Maybe you should stop being an ugly girl with a fake nose who messes around with the beautiful girls so she can become popular. For your information, what you're doing is so last year." Kellan said. Je really hit the jackpot right there because Sharpay walked out.
"Thanks, Kellan!"
"No prob. Are your bags ready? We've got a plane to catch. He said. "Yeah, I left them in the living room."
Our plane arrived and we were in the first class seats. As I headed off to Seattle, my fairy tale also started to begin.
There it is! I'll post the second chapter after I get reviews, alright?
Bye and I love you people!!!
