Troy's POV
I tossed the ball to Chad "Dude, who's that" we both looked across the street, to the neighbors, there was a moving truck there.
"I don't know, new neighbors?" He made a shot at the hoop
I watched as a girl with brown hair came out of the van, she was amazing.
"Whoa" I said starring
Chad chuckled "Go say hi dumbass"
I sighed and walked across the street to the neighbors house
"Hi, are you new here" I extended my hand
she turned around nervously "Oh, uh, yeah, I'm Gabriella Montez"
I smiled and shaked her hand "Troy Bolton"
A man came out of the van, "Oh, sorry Troy, I have to go" she rushed nervously to what seemed to be her Father.
I nodded my head watching her leave, then made my way back to Chad.
Gabriella's POV
I followed Luke inside, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"Uhm, Luke?" I said quietly
"What is it, brat?" he turned around and looked at me
"I was wondering, if I could go out, and walk around the neighborhood" I closed my eyes afraid of what he would say.
Luke is my older brother, but people mistake him for my Father. Our parents died a year after I was born, and Luke blamed me for it. Since I was the one they had to go to the store for.
"Go ahead, I'm having friends over anyway." he spit out the last part
I sighed in releif "Thanks" I rushed out of the house.
No one's POV
Gabriella looked around for that boy she had met earlier, he was across the street playing basketball. She made her way across the street and watched from the front of the house as he played.
The dark skinned boy coughed, and Troy turned around, meeting Gabriella's eyes.
"Gabriella, hey" he smiled at her
She giggled nervously "Hey Troy and.." she paused
"I'm Chad" the dark-skinned boy said extending his hand
"Oh, hi Chad" she shaked his hand and smiled.
Chad's phone went off and he picked up "Chad speaking"
"Shutupp, I know it's you Chad" the girl laughed
"So what's up, Tay?" Chad smiled
"Well I'm at Shar's and Ryan's place, we were talking and we thought we should have one of our movie sleepovers today, so can you and Troy make it?" Taylor said the last part hopefully
"I'm in" he paused and looked at Gabriella "Can me and Troy bring a friend?" he smiled
"Sure" Taylor laughed "See ya in a bit"
They hung up the phone
Troy raised his eyebrow's at Chad "What was that about?"
Chad grinned "Well you and Gabriella are invited to the movie sleepover"
Gabriella's eyes widened "I don't want to intrude.." she trailed off
Troy laughed "No you're not, come on, please?"
Gabriella bit her bottom lip "I have to ask my older brother, Luke"
Troy nodded "Okay, so we'll wait for you here"
Gabriella's POV
I ran across the street and into the house, being stopped by Luke
"Watch it, brat"
"You bumped into me Luke.."
he smacked me across the face, his friend's were watching from the living room, grinning.
I held my cheek, and looked at him.
"What do you want?" he said coldly
"I met some people..and they want me to spend the night--"
"Good. get out of here, and tomarrow I could deal with you"
I nodded my head, a little scared of what "dealing with you" meant to him. I went through some of the boxes and grabbed pajamas, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, and clothes for tomarrow. I sighed.
No one's POV
Gabriella went back to Troy's house, and Troy smiled in pleasure that she had a bookbag with stuff.
"So he said it was ok?" Troy examined her, and looked at her right cheek, it was red.
"Oh, uh, yeah" she gave him a weak smile
Chad grinned "Ok, so let's go"
"What about your stuff?" Gabriella looked at Troy and Chad who were empty handed.
"It's at Sharpay's house" they both said in unison
She nodded her head and got in the car "Thank's for inviting me, Chad"
Chad looked at her "Hey it's cool, you seem cool anyways, and you're new here"
"and fitting in at East High could be hard" Troy added and gazed at Gabriella.
