There she was on her bed, crying herself to sleep. Gabriella Montez was in her cold apartment in Chicago, after being abandoned by her mother, friends and boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend. Gabriella's mother, Maria Montez kicked Gabriella out of their house when she found Gabriella was pregnant. Gabriella was ashamed of herself. She lost the only person she had left in her family. Her friends have ditched her the same day. A new girl came to East High (their high school), they all knew she was trouble, but her friends seemed to believe the new girl, Jessica. Jessica had spread tales of Gabriella talking behind her former friends' back and Gabriella cheating on Troy Bolton. This broke Gabriella to pieces. She never had cheated on Troy and never will. She was so in love with him, and he was the father of her baby. Gabriella never got the opportunity to tell him the truth and that she was pregnant. Jessica had beaten her, by saying those nasty rumours. But, what she hated the most was she had lost the only thing that she had left, her baby, the baby her and Troy had made.

"I wish there was a way to turn back time," Gabriella wished.


Gabriella woke up from the brightness of the sun coming from her broken window. Gabriella was practically a squatter. She didn't even have enough money to pay her utilities. She earned money from doing babysitting, which wasn't enough to survive. Gabriella wished she had finished her schooling, but since she was kicked out by her mom, she never went back to school. She loved going to school, if truth be told she was always an honour student. Her dream was to become a teacher; she loved kids and was determined to help them to become successful, which was ironic compared to her situation. Gabriella got up and went to the washroom to freshen up.

Gabriella was out for a walk, which was a routine she did every morning. She was passing by a park and a pink paper that was flying had landed on her face. She read the flyer:

Come audition for Kelsi Neilsen's first musical, "Within A Dream" at St. Therese High. Auditions are starting at 12 o'clock noon till 4 PM.

See you there!

Gabriella's heart started to beat rapidly. Her friends were here in Chicago, was Troy with them? Will they give her a chance to explain? Or did they already forgot about her? All these questions were flowing through her mind. Gabriella ran as fast as she could to her apartment to change and make it in time for the auditions.
