It was the beginning of a brand new school year for Gabriella. Well for Gabriella at least,for the other kids it will be the last day. There she was standing in the campus grounds of east high. She looked around to see many cliques. There were the popular girls,the goth,the skaters,the band geeks,computer nerds,normal people like Gabriella,and the one clique Gabriella hated the most the basketball team. The basketball team was filled with athletic guys who only care about them selves and basketball. There was also the cheer leaders,in there short skirts and tops. Gabriella knows every single player on the east high team because her guidance counselor told her every thing about this school. There was many players but she only remembered a couple. There was Zeke the baker,chad with the big curly afro,and the cutest guy to ever come into Gabby's life Troy Bolton. Troy Bolton is the leader of the team. His dad is the coach here. All of a sudden someone hits her arm and she drops all her books. It was the cheer leaders.

"Get out of the way nerd."they said laughing

Troy watched the cheer leaders walk away and got up to go help Gabriella.

"Want some help."troy said kneeling down

She knew that voice. She looked up to see two blue eyes.

Stuttering "A...ar...are you Troy Bolton?"

"Yes,why"troy said

"Oh nothing."Gabriella said smiling

Troy finally gave the last book back to Gabriella.

"Well,i got to go so see you around."troy said

"Yeah,ok."

He was about to turn and walk away before.

"What is your name?"troy ask

"Gabriella Montez."

"Well,since you know my name I guess I will just go,bye"troy said before walking away to his teammates

The school day passed by very slowly for Gabriella. Now it was the end of the day and gabby was walking home.

A car drove up to the side of Gabriella,it was troy.

"Hey,come on I will drive you home,it is about to rain any minute."troy says

"No,that's ok,I'm fine"Gabriella said still walking

"Come on,i won't bite."troy said stopping the car

Sighs "Ok,fine."

She walks over to the other side of the car and gets in. He begins to drive the car again.

"Ok,so where do you live?"troy asks

"Umm,136 Dewy Ave."gabby said looking down at a piece of paper

"Hey,You live next to me."troy said shocked

"Cool."gabby said still looking at her piece of paper

"Whats this?"troy said pulling over and taking the piece of paper from Gabby's hands

"Hey,give me that back."

He looks at the piece of paper that said "Go back home,you nerd. No one wants you here".He looked over at Gabriella with tears in her eyes.

Taking her hand "Don't cry,is any body at your house now cause I want to talk about this?"troy asks

"No."

Troy starts the car,drives to Gabby's house,parks the car at his house,gets out of the car and walk to Gabby's house. She follows him.

IN HER HOUSE

"Gabby come sit on the couch with me,we need to talk about this note."troy said walking over to the couch and sitting down and gabby does the same

"Do you know who sent this to you?"troy asks

"No,but I am scared."gabby said getting teary again

Wiping her tears away "Come here."troy said pulling her on to his lap and giving her a hug

They pull apart and stare into each others eyes. They get closer and closer before they begin to kiss. But before they knew it,it was all interrupted from someone coming through the door.

"Gabriella Montez."Inez Gabby's mom says

She pulls apart from troy,gets off his lap and stands up.

"Yes mom."gabby says

"What do I always tell you about boys in the house when no one is home,do you want a repeat of what happened last time between you and a boy alone."Inez say

"Then can I spend time with troy at his house,his parents are home."gabby asks

"Ok,but be home for dinner."

"Ok,thank you mom."Gabriella said before grabbing Troy's hand and leading him to the door.

OUTSIDE

"Wait,i don't have any body at my house,why did you tell your mom that?"troy asks

"Because I don't want to follow my mom's rules any more."gabby says

"What did she mean when she said do you want a repeat of what happened last time between you and a boy alone?"troy asks

"Well,before I moved here I lived in Florida and I had a boy over my house once and we were hanging out laughing,talking it was fun. But while we were sitting there by ourself,just the two of us,he decided to rape me,but he didn't get close to doing that because my mom walked in and kicked him out. So we put a restraining order on him and moved away so he could never talk or hurt me again."gabby said with tears in her eyes just talking about it

"Oh,well I would never do any thing like that to you well besides the kiss we had in there."troy said taking his keys out of his pocket and unlocking the door to his house

"Well,what do you want to do?"troy asks

But before Gabriella could answer Troy's phone started ringing. It was his dad.

"Troy get your butt down here quick,we have a practice now."Dave said

"Ok coach."troy said before hanging up

"Gabby,i am sorry but I have a practice to get to so,do you want to come?"troy asks

"Sure,i have nothing else to do today."gabby said

TROY AND GABBY JUMP IN HIS CAR AND ARE IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT IN FIVE MINUTES

IN THE GYM

Gabby sits on the bleachers and watches the practice.

Troy walks over to his dad.

"Ok dad i'm here."troy said

Troy's dad turns around and the first thing he notices is Gabriella.

"Hello,miss you are not allowed in this gym during practices."

"Dad,it's fine she is just my friend."troy says

"Ok,fine I will let it pass for now but you are not allowed at any more practice,even if you are Troy's friend. Come on guys I need you to do fifty laps around this gym. GO"coach Bolton says

The boys begin to run and Mr. Bolton walks over to were gabby is sitting.

"So your Troy's friend."he asks

"Well,i would not call us friends. I only met him today."gabby sayed with a smile on her face at the thought of being Troy's friend and then soon his girl friend

"Oh,so did your family just move here because I never seen you around before."coach Bolton asks

"Yes,we moved here from Florida but it is just me and my mom."

"Oh,well I have to get back to the boys so come over and hang out with troy when ever you get a chance,he needs a girl in his life."Mr. Bolton says before walking away

"Wait,when you mean girl,troy never had a girl friend?"gabby said shocked

"Nope,you will be his first girl friend,he is more of girls just being friends,but I think troy is starting to like you. Well bye"coach Bolton says before walking away

An hour later.

Troy is done with practice and is now in the locker room changing alone. He hears the locker room doors slam and turns around to find Gabriella standing in the door way of the lockers.

"Hi troy."gabby said walking over to the bench and sitting down on it.

"Hey."troy says facing his locker

"You were really good at basket ball,i have never seen a practice before."she walks up in front of troy stopping him from looking through his locker "thanks for inviting me troy."gabby said laying a soft kiss on Troy's cheek. Troy puts his arms around her waist,pushes her against the locker and kisses her with passion.

Coach Bolton walks into the locker room to hear a girls giggling. He walks over to were he heard the sound to see gabby and troy making out.

"Umm excuse me guys." Coach Bolton said interrupting gabby and Troy's make out seen and causing them to pull apart.

"Sorry."troy and Gabriella said at the same time

"Come on you guys you two need to get home school is closing for today and it is almost dinner."Mr. Bolton says before walking to his office

"Come on gabby let's go."Troy said putting his shirt on and walking out of the locker room.

TWO HOURS LATER WITH GABRIELLA in her room

Gabby looked out her window that faced troys room to see him and chad playing video games. She was bord at her house so she decided to go see them. She took her house keys from her night stand and ran out side to Troy's house. She knocked on his front door a couple times but no one answered.

"Maybe he can't hear me." gabby says to her self

She got up and was about to walk home when someone opened the door. It was troy.

"Hi troy."gabby said

"But I am still hungry."

"Well than eat some thing at your house for a chance. Chad said before being pushed out the door of Troy's house

Turning back to Gabriella,to see her crying her eyes out.

"Gabby stop and let me explain."troy sayed chasing her

"NO WHY SHOULD I SO YOU CAN BREAK MY HEART MORE."gabby said opening her front door and slamming it in Troy's face

Troy was to tired to fight with Gabriella now so he decided to just go home.

WITH GABRIELLA

She walked up to her room still crying and sat on her bed. Her phone was beeping because she had a message.

"You have one message."the voice mail lady said on her phone

"Hi hunny it's mommy, I just have to say one thing,i wont be home for a couple of days because my boss asked me to go on a business trip so I wont be home for like a week. I guess you are out so I will call you later. Love you bye." Inez said

"Hey you reached Gabriella Montez,i can't get to the phone right now,sorry."Gabby's answering message said

Hanging up "Fine if you are not picking up then I will have to just go over there and tell you strait to your face."troy said

Troy looked through his window to see Gabriella sleeping. He crossed over to her house by a tree in the middle of both there window. When he got there he tapped on her window causing her to wake up. When She noticed troy she got up from her bed,opened her window and troy went in.

"What do you want?"gabby said crossing her arms
