Chapter one

After her mother's death Gabriella descides to go live with her grandmother Ruth in Albuquerque, Mexico. Since her father died when she was three years old.She had been living with her devilish aunt Linda for about two mnths already and she didnt feel any better about her mothers death with the fact that her aunt always brought the that her mother is dead up in almost all of their conversation. And it seem as if her aunt thought she was the one who killed her mother , which made Gabriella always cry herself to sleep.

soo when it came up for her to choose between her devilish aunt Linda or her sweet old grandmother Ruth she decided to go with her sweet old grandmother who wont always blem her for her mothers death.Which is really sad the fact that now her aunt would hate her even more than before when she was living with her.

She got ready to go catah her flight to Albuquerque, she was releafed to the fact she didnt have to live with witch she called aunt. And she a little happy to start over and live a new life.
When she got to Albuquerque her grandmother was waiting for her at the airport. but she didnt see her right away soo she went to get her stuff then started to look for her sweet old grandmother. she finally saw her and she ran up to her and gave her a huge hug.

"well hello dear " said her grandmother. " hi grandma "she said as tears ran down her face. "Are you ok dear"her grandmother asked "yes im ok its just that im really happy to see you."she answered.

"well thats ok dear , lets head home then ok" said her granma Ruth

"Ok "said Gabriella. So her grandmother drove her to where she will living .

She showed her the room she'll be living in. "Omg, this room is amazing "she said.

"Yes I know I just want you to be happy"answered Ruth. "Thanks" said Gabriella."Ok the next thing we'll do is get you some new clothes" said Ruth.

She felt a little better with her grandmother said that and how nice she was being to her ,even though she reminded her alot of her mother. she really missed her mother but she new it wasnt her fault that she died like her aunt Linda thinks. Her mother died of cancer and her father died in a car acident. How much can one teenage girl take its just really horrible.

So they got Gabriella some new clothes at the mall.
The next day she stepped her foot in the huge high school also known as East High.

Wow this is a huge school she thought to herself. She looked for her home room class which was with a teacher named Darbus. She found her class went ahead to take a seat.

"Class we have a new student her name is Gabriella Montez" said Ms Darbus. She went on and on about the spring musical and how the theatre is for cleansing your soul and how the theatre was for everyone.

Finally the bell rang in the back of her mind she wasn't thinking about what Ms Darbus said. She was too busy gushing over the star basketball player Troy Bolton. She didn't even know his name and she had already fallen all over him.

But she wasn't alone. "Hi im Taylor McKenzie"said a voice." Um hi im " she cut her off Gabriella "your Gabriella Montez"said Taylor.

"Yea" said Gabriella .

"So I've heard that you're an excellent mathematician". said Taylor.

"Yea at my old school"said Gabriella.

"Hi" interupted a voice behind them. She turned around and couldn't believe who it was.

"Um hi"said Gabriella. "My name is Troy Bolton". He said. His short kinda of blonde hair and blue eyes were the first things she noticed.

"Hi Troy"said a loud and annoying . Taylor whispered to Gabriella "that's Sharpay Evans i wouldnt mess with her if i were you" "oh hi Sharpay "said Tory .

"So how have you been Troy" said Sharpay."I' ve been good" said Troy ."yea so you gonna come see me in the musical right"asked Sharpay .

"Look Sharpay im kind of in the middle of something here so can you please leave me alone"said Troy as nicely as possible. "Uh" shreked Sharpay and she worked away.

"Im really sorry about that " said Troy with a smile . "It's ok um but I kind of have to go to my next class"said Gabriella.

"k I'll see you later"said troy and he walked off.

"wow your first day here at east high and you've already got troy all over you "said Taylor.

"Um I don't know what your talking about" said Gabriella

"yea right"said Taylor

During fourth period which was lunch , Taylor invited her to sit with them. So during lunch she sat with Taylor and her friends .

"So Gabriella if you dont mind me asking why did you to Albuquerque" ask Taylor

" well i moved her to be closer to my grandmother " she lied.

"oh thats great" Taylor said with a smile.

But before she could say another word one of Troy's friend came over to their table.
