My name is Gabriella Montez, I am 17 years old and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I just started my senior year at East High. I live with my mom and my little sister, Bianca, she's 13. After a nice long summer, it was finally time to go back to school. Sigh. But, hey, senior year.

I finally decided to get out of bed and get ready for school. I walked to my closet and picked out a pair of light colored capris with a simple black t-shirt. I slipped on my white flip flops. I went into my bathroom, that I shared with Bianca. I brushed out my hair, I put it into a single simple braid. I then brushed my teeth, and made my way downstairs.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen and noticed a note on the table, it was from my mom.

"Good Morning, girls! Sorry I missed you both this morning, I had to be in the office early. I'm not sure how late I will be home, lots of meetings today. Great way to start my Monday morning. I didn't pull anything out of the freezer for dinner, so go ahead and make whatever you girls would like. Love you both, see you later!

Xoxo- Mom.

My mom was a lawyer. She worked many hours, but was great at her job. I looked at the clock and saw that it was just about 7:00. I knew I had to be at school for 7:30. I was driving Bianca to school this morning so she would need to be up soon. I walked upstairs and knocked on her door.

"Bianca, I have to be at school for 7:30. If you want a ride, I would get up and get ready now."

Bianca answered me, with a tired voice. "Okay, okay, I'll be up in a minute."

"Well, if you're not up in 5 minutes I'm coming back upstairs."

I walked back downstairs and grabbed an apple. I'm not much of a breakfast person, but I thought I would just grab an apple to eat while I wait. Bianca finally made her way downstairs. She was wearing jeans and a short sleeved pink shirt. She had a pink headband in her long brown hair. We looked a lot alike, she was basically my mini me.

"Ready?" I asked her.

"Sure am, let's go."

I drove Bianca to her school first, she was in the 8th grade. The middle school was right next to the high school. "Have a great day, see you after school. I'll text you later." "Okay, have a great first day of your senior year." "Thanks." I gave her a big smile. "Love you lots." She smiled back and shut the door. I watched her walk into the building before I drove over to the high school. I parked my car, grabbed my bag and walked inside East High.

I walked over to my locker to put my bag inside and grab the new notebook I had bought. I looked to my left and saw my best friends, Sharpay and Taylor heading my way. I shut my locker and waved at them both. "Hey!" "Hey Gabi, ready for senior year?" "Sure am. Can't believe we are already seniors. Just seems like yesterday we were scared little freshmen." The bell rang, signaling that it was time to head to homeroom. Sharpay, Taylor and I all had homeroom together, so we made our way to the classroom. I always sat towards the back, with my two best friends next to me.

"Good Morning, class! Welcome to senior year!" Our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Darbus, always had so much energy. When I say so much, I mean like 100%. "We have a new student, he just transferred here from California. Everybody, this is Troy Bolton." I looked up from what I was writing. I saw a gorgeous boy. He was about 6'4", had brown hair, and it swooped in front of his eyes. Oh my gosh, his eyes. They were bright blue; the bluest eyes I have ever seen. He looked in my direction, our eyes met. We just looked at each other, I swear it was for hours, but it was only about 30 seconds. He gave me a small smile and sat down in a sit near the front. I blushed a bit and went back to my writing.

"Is Ms. Gabriella Montez blushing?" I looked up at my best friends, who were both staring at me with smiles on their faces. I giggled. "Maybe." In homeroom we just discussed what is coming up for senior year, if we were excited, blah blah. I wasn't really listening to be quite honest. The bell rang for us to move to our next class. We all walked out of the classroom and into the hallway to our lockers. I stopped at my locker and noticed that the new kid, Troy Bolton's locker was two down from mine. I looked at him, but when he looked back at me, I looked away really quick, shut my locker, and started speed walking down the hallway.

I met up with Sharpay and Taylor in the cafeteria for lunch later that day. "I swear, every time I see Troy Bolton, I can't help but stare." I said as I sat down at our lunch table. "Well, I can't blame you, he's hot." Sharpay replied. "It's those eyes. They just get me every time. They're gorgeous. He's gorgeous."

After the final bell of the day rang, I made my way to my car. I pulled out my phone to text Bianca to let her know I would be in my usual parking spot to pick her up. Of course, me being clumsy me, wasn't watching where I was going, and bumped right into someone. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry." I looked up at the person, and there were those blue eyes again. "It's okay." He then smiled at me. That smile, it was beautiful. "Well, I never had the chance to formally introduce myself. My name is Gabriella Montez." I stuck my hand out. "Troy Bolton." He shook my hand and I felt this spark. I gasped a bit and pulled my hand back. "Uh, I have to go pick up my sister, I'll see you around?" He smiled at me. "Definitely."

"What would you like for dinner?" I asked my sister when we had got home. "Mom didn't pull anything out for dinner so she told us to pick whatever." "I'm good with anything." "How about some pizza? We can go down to Luke's?" Bianca nodded. "Sure."

We both climbed into my car and drove the 10-minute drive into town to the best pizza place around. I parked the car and we both got out and walked into Luke's. "What kind of pizza do you want?" I asked looking at my little sister. She looked over the menu. "How about pepperoni?" "Sounds great." We ordered and then sat down and began to eat. We talked about our days and other pointless things. I heard the bell ding at the door, to tell the workers that someone had come in. I turned around to look who it was. My eyes met those blue eyes that made me smile every time. He smiled at me and waved a small wave. I smiled back and turned back to Bianca. "So, um, do you know him?" I smiled a bit. "Yeah, he's new. I just met him today." "He's really cute." I blushed. "Yeah, he is." "We just happen to bump into each other everywhere we go, don't we?" I looked up at Troy. I laughed a little. "I guess so. Oh, Troy, this is my sister Bianca. Bianca, this is Troy." She smiled at him. "Hi, nice to meet you." He nodded. "You too."

My first week of my senior year flew by. I was at my locker and started to grab the stuff I would need to go home. Sharpay and Taylor came up to my locker. "Hey, Gabi." "Hey, guys, what's up?" "Well, I was thinking we should have a movie night tonight. My house?" I thought about it for a minute, hoping my mom wasn't working late. I didn't want Bianca to home alone too long. I know she's 13, but still, she's my little sister. "Yeah, sounds good. Are we inviting the boys too?" When I say the boys, I mean two of our good guy friends. There was Chad, you wouldn't miss him if he was in a crowd. He has really bushy hair, and I mean REALLY bushy. Then there is Zeke, him and Sharpay are constantly flirting, but still won't admit to each other, or themselves, that they like each other. I glanced to my left and saw Troy at his locker. I turned back to the girls. "Hey, um, do think we should invite Troy? He doesn't seem to have many friends, maybe this could be a way he could meet some new people." The girls shrugged. "I don't see why not." "Alright, so, I'll meet you at your house around like 7:00?" Sharpay nodded. "Sounds great. See ya, later, Gabs." I took a deep breath and walked over to Troy. "Hey." He smiled at me. "Hey, what's up?" He shut his locker and leaned against it. He was wearing jeans with a light blue polo shirt on. The blue shirt made his blue eyes pop even more. "Well, tonight me and a few of my friends are getting together at Sharpay's house for a movie night. Would you like to join? I thought it would be a good way for you to meet some new people." He looked at me and smiled. "Sure, sounds great." I was a little shocked that he said yes, but deep down I was happy. "Awesome! I can text you the directions. I just need your number, I mean, if you want to give it to me." He laughed. "Let me see your phone." I pulled it out of my back pocket, and gave it to him. He typed his number in and gave it back to me. "We are meeting up around 7. I'll text you the directions. See ya later, Troy." I gave him a smile and walked out to my car.

I left my house around 6:45 to make it to Sharpay's by 7. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Sharpay. "Hey Gabs! Everyone is in the movie room, go ahead and head down there." I smiled at her and stepped inside. "Is Troy here yet?" "Yeah, he got here about 5 minutes ago." I smiled and walked to the movie room. I walked in and saw Taylor sitting on one of couches, playing on her phone. Chad and Zeke were talking to Troy. This was good. "Hey guys." I came in and sat down on one of the other many couches in the room. Troy smiled at me. "Hey Gabs." Oh my gosh, he called me Gabs. Only the group called me Gabs. But I guess this was the beginning of him becoming part of our group. I smiled, "Hey." Sharpay then came back in. "Now that everyone is here, let's pick a movie!" We all decided on The Conjuring. I wasn't the biggest fan of horror movies, but oh well. Taylor and Chad sat together on one couch and Sharpay cuddled up with Zeke on another couch. Troy and I shared a look and we both sat down on the other couch. Troy looked over at me. "So, are you a fan of horror movies?" I looked back at him. "Well, to be honest, not really. You?" "I don't mind them." All of a sudden we hear a scream come from Sharpay. "Well, apparently she's not a fan of them." Troy laughed. I laughed, shaking my head, "I guess not." After we had finished that The Conjuring, of course Chad just had to pick another horror movie. This time it was Insidious. I got nice and comfy on the couch. I tucked my legs underneath me and curled up a bit. It got kinda chilly in the movie room sometimes. "You cold?" I heard Troy ask. I nodded. "Just a little." "Well, there's a blanket right here if you want it." "Um, sure. Thanks." I smiled at him. He handed me the blanket and I wrapped up in it. I opened my eyes to see the end credits rolling up on the screen. Apparently I had fallen asleep and during a horror movie. That's new for me. I then felt something move from underneath me. I had fallen asleep with my head on Troy's shoulder. I sat up really quick. "I am so sorry. I must have been really tired and…" Troy laughed a little. "It's okay, Gabs. No need to be sorry." We all decided it was time to wrap up our movie night and head home. As I was walking out to my car, I heard footsteps behind me. "Thanks for inviting me, Gabi. I had a good time." I smiled. "I'm glad, Troy, I had fun too." "So, see you tomorrow at school?" I nodded. "See you tomorrow."

So, this was my first story ever on FanFiction. I hope people still actually read stories on here. I don't have a title for this story, but maybe you guys could help me out? I'm a huge fan of High School Musical, and I've always been a fan of their relationship (even though they aren't together anymore). But let me know what you guys think! Suggestions and comments are appreciated!
