Author's Note: Hmm, the summery…Gabriella Montez gets hit by lightning and feels fine. That is, until she develops a power that changes her life, for better or for worse. This is similar to the 1-800-WHERE-R-U books by Meg Cabot, so if you think it's too similar or that I'm plagiarizing, tell me and I will delete this story pronto.

1-800-GONEChapter 1: A Simple Walk Home
By musiclover94
It was a lovely summer night, and Gabriella Montez was walking from the movie theatre with her boyfriend, Troy Bolton. Gabriella and Troy only lived about tow blocks from the theatre, and it was a perfect night, so they were walking home.
"Oh, no." Troy said, looking up into the sky and seeing approaching clouds threatening rain.
"What?" Gabriella asked.
"A storm's coming. And it looks pretty big." he commented.
"We're only a block away. We're fine!" Gabriella smiled.
But Gabriella's prediction was wrong. A minute later, they heard a giant roll of thunder, a flash of lightning, and hailstones started to rain down.
"I told you!" Troy said.
"Ok, ok, you were right. Let's just find shelter." Gabriella said bitterly. She didn't take defeat well.
The only shelter they saw were a row of metal bleachers by the local middle school. They knew that you were never supposed to go under metal during a lightning storm, but they had no other shelter.
"You know, this isn't the best place to be right now." Troy said, eyeing another flash of lightning coming closer to them.
"These kind of storms always pass quickly. It probably won't even come near us." Gabriella said, leaning up against one of the metal poles that held up the stands.
"Gabriella, that isn't a good idea…" Troy said, but he was too late.
A huge bolt of lightning hit the bleachers and the current traveled down the pole and connected with Gabriella's spinal cord. Gabriella felt a tingle running up her spine and then everything went black.
Author's Note: HAHAHA! A cliffy! I am being so evil today! Please review! And, again, if this is too similar to the 1-800-WHERE-R-U books, tell me and I will remove this story immediately.
