Hey guys! This is my first story so I'm really hoping you like it! I'm new to the FanFiction thing but I have a passion to write! So here goes nothing...

Disclaimer~ I don't own High School Musical!

Gabriella's POV

My eyes flipped open at the sound of my blaring alarm clock around 5:30 am. And then...it hit me. Oh gosh! Here we go again! I'm starting a new school today and trust me; I sure don't want to! At my last school, West High, I was THE prima donna except the whole conceited and opera singer part. So basically, I was the most popular and I was always in-demand. I expect to keep my role as I transfer to my new school in Albuquerque, East High, but I understand it's a whole other playing field. I'm not trying to sound cocky it's just my personality. I'm outgoing and to be honest, quite blunt. I mean I'll blatantly tell you what I think about you and your attitude but I won't a complete bit-...well you see where I'm coming from!

I finally lugged myself out of bed at around 6 am. I have absolute no idea why on God's green earth I set my alarm clock so early! It takes me literally twenty minutes to get ready in the morning and be out the door. I know you must be thinking, "How in the world does a 16-year-old girl get ready in twenty minutes?! That's crazy!" And yes, I kind of agree. I'm not super conscious about my clothes though. Yes, I have nice things but I set out my clothes the night before so they're ready for the next morning. Plus, I don't waste 45 minutes trying to straighten my extremely curly hair! Getting extra sleep is way more important to me because my hair is going to be all curly again within a matter or two or three hours; so what's the point!

I grabbed my clothes and quickly threw them on. I brushed my teeth, did my makeup, and tried to tame my mane of craziness; also known as my hair. I grabbed my new backpack and headed downstairs to the sight of my mother cooking breakfast, which is something I haven't seen in years. She works from home so she usually doesn't even wake up until around 10. So I had absolutely no clue why she was up this early.

"Hi, Mom. Why are you up so early?" I asked as I walked over to the kitchen wall to unplug my phone.

"Oh! I just wanted to make sure I saw you before you left for your first day! And I was bored so I thought I might as well make breakfast!" said my mother enthusiastically.

"Um...ok." I stated as I slipped my phone in my back pocket and took a seat at the counter. "So are you going to start waking up this early like, every morning?"

"Eh...I don't think so. I think this was just a one time thing. I don't have enough energy to be waking up like this every morning. I hope you don't mind." She said while flopping two pancakes on my plate.

"Oh it's no problem! Hey these pancakes are really good, by the way!" I said after taking a couple bites of my pancakes. "Well I need to go. I'll see you this afternoon ok!" I said while getting up and picking up my bag and car keys.

"Ok hun! See you then." She said while blowing me a kiss as I hopped into my silver Hyundai Elantra. I just giggled at her and pulled out of the driveway. East High was a good ten minutes away; unlike my other school that was literally across the street. I pulled up at my new school wondering what my future there might hold. I grabbed my things and made my way inside to the school's front office.

"Welcome to East High. Home of the wildcats! I'm Ms. Sawyer. How may I help you?" said a blonde woman with lots of enthusiasm.

"Hi! My name is Gabriella Montez. I just transferred here and it's my first day. I was told to come to the front office to pick up my schedule?" I said with a tiny smile. "Oh yes! Gabriella! You've been the talk of our school recently! Your grades are absolutely fantastic! You'll be an amazing asset to our school population! Here's your schedule and if you need anything, feel free to come by the front office or the counseling center down the hall at anytime! You've only missed about a week of school so you shouldn't be too far behind! Have a great day!" She said while handing my schedule and locker number. I'm surprised at her reaction to when she heard my name. Really, the talk of the school? I mean I guess I make good grades but that doesn't mean I'm smart. Just because I make 98's and higher in all of my AP classes doesn't mean I'm an "amazing asset." I guess I just understand things quicker and easier. I let the subject go as I made my way to my home room, Ms. Darbus' class. I walked in and everyone gasped, both guys and girls. I ignored their reaction because I'm used to getting it everywhere I go. Usually guys are doodling over me and girls are jealous of me, no big deal. I'm trying to sound like a stuck-up snob, but when it happens literally all the time; you start to just not really care anymore.

I took my seat in the back of the room and an older woman made a dramatic entrance into our classroom. I'm guessing this is Ms. Darbus, she is a drama teacher after all.

"Welcome juniors of our beloved East High!" Ms. Darbus stated with dramatic pauses and elongations between everything. Oh god. I hope she doesn't say everything like this. There's no way anyone could be THAT dramatic. She started moving her arms in these crazy and frantic circulations and took an overly dramatic bow. Well I stand corrected, maybe someone can be THAT dramatic!

"Now students of my home room..." Ms. Darbus started to talk but I soon zoned out. This woman could not be anymore boring! I perked up once I heard the bell. I grabbed my nits and was ready to head out of the classroom but I ran into someone. A kind of cute someone. He turned around and had a grin on his face. I soon became mesmerized in his eyes then saw his muscles. My god he was h-o-t hot! I finally got it together and was able to speak.

"Hi. My name is Gabriella." I said with a flirtatious smile.

"Hey Gabriella. So I hear you're the new girl?" He said winking at me. "My name is..." I was so fascinated at his muscles that I missed his name! Shoot! Pay more attention girl! So I just gave him a quick smile. "What class do you have next?" The mysteriously, gorgeous boy asked as he saw my schedule in my hand.

"Oh. I have...AP World History. What about you?" I asked him in return.

"I have the same class. We can walk there together." He said with a small grin. I nodded in agreement and we walked right down the hallway to Ms. Harper's class. As we walked past people in the hallway, I received the same reaction as I did earlier but it was almost opposite. They guys seemed jealous that I was walking with whoever this guy was and he girls seemed to be swooning over him. Boy, do I really need to find out his name! I'm pretty sure, if he's as popular as he seems, I'll find out in History. I can't wait until we get into this class!

So I'm hoping you guys like this story! Please constructively criticize my writing and tell me how I can make it better! Don't forget to review your opinion on whether or not I should keep on going! I'll probably update once or twice a week it just depends! See ya guys next time!
