When Troy Bolton loses his mum & dad in a car accident, he has to move in with his godmother. Only problem is he bullies his god mother's daughter at school, Gabriella Montez. Life just got a whole lot crazier for the two and when you throw in deep feelings it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Chapter 1
Today was Troy Bolton's day, in fact he would go as far to say it was his week. He was captain of the East High wildcats, they had won their last ten games. He had three quarters of the female population of East High ready and willing to jump into bed with him and he had fun doing one of his favourite things - tormenting other students and in particular his favourite victim: Gabriella Montez.
What was even better he had made her cry. Now you would probably think that's mean, but to Troy it was the most hilarious thing in the world.
However, to Gabriella it was of course no joke to have to go and change her clothes after being slushied for the second time that day.
Ah and there she was again, the geek. Ah, he was going to have fun.
He stuck his foot out and when he did Gabriella went tumbling to the floor, her books, papers and mobile fluttering to the floor.
Her phone clatters to the floor as she scrambles up onto her knees to gather her fallen papers. But as she reaches for her phone a strong tanned hand scoops it up. She looks up into the eyes her tormentor, Troy Bolton, his blue eyes shining with fury as his eyes flicker over the screen taking in the words. With a cry of fury he hurls the phone down the hall and storms off. A few minutes later almost the whole of East High could hear him shouting down the phone at someone.
"THERE IS NO WAY I AM GOING THERE AND STAYING WITH THEM NO WAY IN HELL!" He hollers into his phone.
There is silence as the person on the other end answers.
"BUT MUM," he protests.
His mum says something and he hangs up. Gabriella has been watching this and since Troy is in a hallway on his own goes up to him.
"Sucks doesn't it," she says.
"You're telling me," replies Troy, holding his phone out to her.
She quickly dials her mum's number and explains that her phone died and she's fine and her mum reminds her Troy is coming to stay that night for the week. She replies that she knows and she has to go and hangs up.
"Rule 1 Bolton: if your going to stay in my house even for a week no breaking my phone and while I'm on the subject you owe me a new phone," she says.
"Fine," replies Troy. "We'll go tonight."
"Oh and if you hear screaming it's-"
"You having a nightmare and the gate's at the stairs because of your sleep walking, I know," says Troy. "Don't get used to this Montez I still rule the roost," he adds.
"Not in my house you don't," she replies. "Oh and tea is 5 sharp. If you're late you're on dish duty and if you're not in by 6 it goes in the bin," says Gabriella.
"What's for tea?" asks Troy
"I was going to cook lasagne but if mum isn't in I'll order a Chinese," says Gabriella and she walks off as the bell goes.
"I like Kung Pao Chicken," calls Troy
"Got it," shouts Gabriella laughing
Later that night Troy gets to Gabriella's just before 6 to find warm Kung Pao Chicken on the table but sobs coming from upstairs.
Cautiously so as not to startle Gabriella he creeps upstairs and peeps round her doorway to find her throwing things and ripped pictures on the floor.
"What's up?" asks Troy
"David broke up with me," cries Gabriella
"David from nerd crew?" asks Troy
Gabriella nods.
"You were going out with him," says Troy
Gabriella nods.
"You could do so much better than him," says Troy wrapping her in a hug
"You're gorgeous, smart and funny," he adds
"You're bipolar," mutters Gabriella into his chest
"I'm going to ignore that," says Troy
"And you stink," she adds
"That I cannot ignore," says Troy hands letting go of Gabriella to go to her sides for a tickle.
However Gabriella knows what is to come and slips out of his grasps as he moves his hands darting out of the room and down the stairs before Troy can blink.
And so the tone for the night is set light and fun free without the pressure of peers just two teens who as semi friends chasing each other around a house giggles and laughter admitting from their lips.
