(Gabriella's POV)

I'm moving back, back to Albuquerque. My childhood town. I've missed this place so much. My friends, my house, my school. I sighed nervously. What if they all forgot about me? I shook my head. No, I still e-mail with Chad. Call with Taylor. Sent letters to Ryan and Sharpay. But.. my looks really have changed. Well you all are wondering what happened. Let me just begin at the beginning.. shall we..

…

Gabriella Andrea Montez is the name. I'm now in freshman year. Everyone describes me as sweet, shy and quiet. I have a really light skin, brown curls that come to my shoulders, chestnut-colored eyes, and a height of five feet. I hate my height, it's too short. Worse, I have bracelets. But anyway, enough about me. Let's move on to my boyfriend.

Troy Bolton. Yes, THE Troy Bolton. The team captain of East High's basketball team, also known as the east high's "biggest star" and "sex god" He's fairly tall unlike me, and has usually messy light brown hair which is constantly falling into his bright blue eyes. Now he seems perfect, right? Well he's not, he doesn't even act like a boyfriend but somehow I still like him.

…

It was 3rd Period and me and Sharpay are walking to our lockers.

…

"So Gabi, how are things with you and Troy-boy?" Sharpay asked.

Sharpay is one of my best-friend, we've known each other since elementary school. we used to resent each other but it all end well, gladly. I wouldn't know what I would do without her.

I let out a deep sigh. "we've been going out for weeks and he has still not kissed me on the lips or done something nice.. and he's bein63 `1``g a jerk lately."

"oh, honey.. maybe he has bad days.. don't give up." Sharpay comforted me.

I smiled. "who said about giving up?"ED

Sharpay let out a small giggle. "oh, boyfriend-alert!" Sharpay giggled before sneaking away.

I couldn't help but giggle and looked up to meet a tall guy with the most beautiful blue eyes staring at me.

…

"what was that all about?" he asked confused, looking where Sharpay went off.

"you mean Sharpay?" he nodded. "she's just being silly, so how was your day so far?"

"boring.." he sighed as we walk to my locker.

I opened my locker to reveal a little envelope falling down, I dropped on my knees and was reaching for the letter but Troy was me too fast. I stood back up.

"from who is it?" I asked confused.

Troy started to open the envelope to reveal a letter, he opened the letter and start to read. I waited patiently for him to talk. he was sending mixed impressions.. I couldn't tell what it was about.

"Troy! From who is it?"

"it's anonymous." He replied dryly.

"and, what does it says?" I asked impatiently.

"are you seeing anybody else?" he asked hastily.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "hell no! Why would you think that?"

He shove the letter, I mentioned earlier in my bare little tiny hands, I looked at Troy before reading it.

Dear Gabriella,

I know you are dating that Troy guy..

But you could dump him and be with me.

You know, I could be a much better boyfriend than Troy is.

If you wish to see me, then show up at the starbucks. 5 PM.

I'll be waiting for you.

Sincerely..

Secret lover.

I shook my head frankly and turned the letter into a prop. I looked at Troy and he just glared at me. I was taken aback. This the first time that Troy looked at me like that. I felt like hiding behind something to avoid that look.

"I swear Troy, I really don't know this person! I'm not cheating on you! I really wouldn't do that you. you're the only one for me." I explained.

Troy scoffed.. he was standing there for a second and then he just walked away from me! I slammed my locker shut. Great! Things are so smooth, I shook my head again.. who is this guy? why the hell did he just do that. I sighed.

…

I knocked at a certain door. it was his, Troy Bolton. His mom let me him happily. She'd always been so nice to me. nicer than Troy I must admit. There was no answer at first but then I knocked again. After waiting literally 2 minutes the door opened. It revealed Troy with a towel wrapped around his torso. Oh gosh, he is so hot. I mean look at him! And his six-pack no wait I mean eight-pack. I looked him up and down. Soon he saw who it was, his facial expression changed, he knew I was staring at his body so he cleared is throat rudely.

"what the fuck are you doing here?" he snapped.

I looked down, not wanting to make eye-contact. "I swear, I never met this guy. you have to believe me Troy! There's really NO ONE!" I claimed.

He sighed in annoyance. "fine, I believe you."

I couldn't help but smile. "thank you, thank you." I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his cheek. "what about if we hang out right after you've changed?" I asked.

"um.. okay, fine." he hesitated.

I squealed. "I'll be downstairs while you get ready." I kissed his cheek again before going downstairs.

…

Me and Troy were taking a walk in the park. Things went back to normal. Troy wasn't being a fed up ass.

"so, want to get something to drink?" I asked. He nodded.

We made our way to Starbucks, I was making my way to the cashier but someone called out my name. I looked at the direction where the noise came from. I saw my science lab partner Asher.

"hey Asher." I waved at him.

He walked up all smiling big and he hugged me for some reason. Oh god no.. don't he know that Troy is here? I looked behind me and didn't spot Troy. Oh, yeah.. he was getting something at the candy store.

" so.. what's up?" I asked.

He smiled widely. "Asher, you're creeping me out with that smile."

"well, you came! Remember that letter I sent you?"

I thought for a minute. I raised an eyebrow.. then I looked at my cell phone, checking the time and it was 5PM sharp. I looked at Asher and gave him a disappointed expression.

"oh, Asher.. I really didn't came here for that reason.. honestly, I was planning on not coming. I'm sorry but I don't feel that way about you. I really like Troy."

Asher facial expression turned really sad. I couldn't help but to feel sorry for him. Asher is cute and funny and all but he's just not my type.

"yeah.. at least I tried. You know, I would've been a better boyfriend than Troy. Did you know he's flirting with that girl right now?" he said pointing at Troy talking with a girl before walking away.

I sighed and made my way to Troy, what's wrong with him talking to a girl. It's a normal thing. I smiled and introduced myself to the girl.

"hey, I'm Gabriella."

"hey, I'm Casey.. you must be.." Casey thought for a moment. "the sister of Troy, yeah.. he told me."

I was confused, I looked at Troy. He was in a sort of panic, maybe this girl confused me with Troy's sister.. but wait. Troy doesn't has a sister.. has he? "uhm, no.. I'm his girlfriend." I turned to Troy. "didn't knew you had a sister, how've come you'd never told me?"

"are you his girlfriend?" Casey asked hastily.

"uhm, yeah.. is there something wrong with that?" I asked worried.

"okay..nice to see you again. We gotta go now." Troy started to drag me away from Casey.

"but.. our drinks.." I brought out.

"we can go get it another time and somewhere else."

"no, no!" Casey walked up to me. "I don't know what's wrong with you but I'm hisgirlfriend." Casey exclaimed.

I stared at her with shock. "me and Troy have been going out for weeks!"

"and me and Troy were going out for months! Troy! How could you do this to me?" Casey spat.

Troy rubbed the back of his neck. "you see.."

Casey rolled her eyes and splashed her drink on Troy. "we're done." She said before storming off.

"fuck, now I'm all wet. Gabriella.. get me a tissue or something.."

He asked me something but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I was so fed up with my thoughts.. the girl was his girlfriend.. they had been going out with for months. so practically we were cheating on Casey but worse.. he still went out with her while going out with me. he was cheating on me too!

"Gabriella? Earth to Gabriella?"

Troy snapped me out my thoughts. "you.. you were cheating on me.." I sobbed.

"no, she was really nothing. You mean the world to me Gabriella." He stuttered.

"then why didn't you broke up with her Troy?" my eyes were getting filled with tears.

"I.. I.. I don't know." He sighed.

I wiped away my tears. "how could you do this to me Troy? I thought you really liked me."

"look, what me and Casey had was nothing compare to what we had."

I shook my head. "please don't talk to me." I said walking away.

…

"come on Sweetie, Troy is a jerk." Taylor comforted me.

Taylor is my other best friend, she's really good at comforting other people. She always put her dear ones first. After the 'thing' that happened between me and Troy. I went directly home. Sobbing on my bed and called Sharpay and Taylor to come over.

"so, he was dating a girl before he was dating you? why's that wrong?" Sharpay asked confused. Totally being dumb.

"because he still had another girlfriend while going out with me?"

"maybe he wanted to break up with her but didn't had the courage." Sharpay suggested.

"well, he could've told me at least!"

"who in their right mind would tell their girlfriend that he's cheating with her on another girl.. want to break up with her but don't have the courage."

"Sharpay's got a point."

"what should I do?" I asked desperately.

"just give him another chance." They said in Unison.

I nodded. "thanks, you girls are the best!"

"we know." Sharpay giggled.

…

"so you and Gabi broke-up?" Chad asked shocked.

Troy shook his head. "no, just a little argument."

"WTF? Why the hell didn't she broke up with you?"

Troy raised his right eye-brow. "why would she?"

"you had another girlfriend?"Chad replied.

"but I dated Casey before Gabriella, so what's the problem?"

"that's not the problem! You had another Girlfriend while going out with Gabriella! And how come I didn't know this?"

"you have a big mouth, Danforth." Chad growled offended at his best-friend reply.

"so whatcha gonna do about Gabriella?"

"what should I do?" Troy asked confused.

"Apologize! Win her trust back or something." Chad replied. "dude, what's wrong with you? I'm the one that's supposed to be a idiot and dumbfounded, not the other way round."

Troy sighed. his phone beeped. He looked to his right to look at his desk. 'you got a message' was flashing on his phone. He grabbed the phone and opened it. he started to read.

"from who is it?" Chad asked curiously.

"Gabriella, she says she's sorry." Troy chuckled. "what should I text back?

"saying it's really your fault!" Chad suggested irritated.

"okay, chillax dude." Troy Smirked. "done, I told her.. it's okay. I was the one at fault. I hope you will forgive me."

"good job, now I know who you are again!" Chad told proudly.

Troy's phone beeped again. Troy chuckled and read the message. "she said, she'll forgive me."

"that was easy." Chad mumbled.

Troy chuckled. "sorry, what did you say? Talk louder."

"nothing." Chad added quickly.

Gabi is easily forgiven.. but will it always be like that?
