Gabriella, you aren't giving me your all today. Get focused." Annie Leibovitz, her photographer, snapped in irritation.

Gabriella sighed, "Sorry. I'm just a little tired."

"Why don't we take a five minute break?" Gabriella's manager, Julia suggested.

Gabriella shot her a grateful look and walked away from the camera. She grabbed a bottle of water. "Thank God."

"Gabriella what's wrong with you?" Julia asked. "You come in here like a zombie and you aren't giving Annie 110%."

"Sorry." Gabriella apologized. "You know I'm not a morning person and I had to get here a five in the morning, sit in hair and makeup for two hours and put on these ridiculously heavy wings." She pointed to the pair of white wings on her back. "Excuse me if I'm not as chipper as the barista at Starbuck's was." She saw a buffet table and started walking towards it.

"Well being an angel comes with a down side." Julia said, taking the chocolate donut Gabriella picked up out of her hands.

"Hey. Do you know how long it's been since I've had a donut?"

Julia shook her head, "No and all the sugar and calories in this thing will go straight to your thighs."

Gabriella groaned, "You hate me don't you?"

"I love you. You're like a daughter to me."

"Whatever."

"Anyway, how was your date last night?" Julia asked, changing the subject.

"He was not very fun at all." Gabriella replied. "I'm never going on a date with him again. And I think he had an alcohol problem."

"You should let me set you up on a date." Julia said. "You need a guy. You're such a workaholic."

Gabriella shook her head, "If it's another one of your cousins, the answer is no. I'd rather be single."

"Nevermind then."

Troy Bolton walked into his condo and let out a sigh of relief. He was done filming his movie and couldn't be happier. He finally got a break. Until they started touring for the movie, that is.

He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out and looked at it before answering. "Hey mom."

"Hi honey." Lucille greeted. "How are you?"

"Good." Troy replied. "We just got done filming the movie today."

"Cat Woman?"

Troy rolled his eyes, "No, mom. Its called The Nine Lives of Chloe King."

"Same difference." Lucille said. "I'm just so glad you're done shooting. I was worried sick."

"Why?" Troy questioned.

"You could've gotten hurt. I don't know why you did your own stunts."

"I had a stunt double just in case."

"That doesn't help my nerves at all."

"Sorry, mom. But I'm safe."

"And how's your apartment?" Lucille asked.

"It's been the same since I moved in 3 years ago."

"Have you met any new girls lately?"

"No."

"Why not? You need someone in that big apartment of yours to keep you company."

"Marcus spends the night regularly. I'm never alone." He see's his older brother enter the kitchen. "In fact he's here right now. And if I need more companionship, I'll get a dog or a goldfish."

Lucille huffed in irritation, "I meant a girl. A nice girl that you can bring out here. Thats another thing I want to talk about. When are you going to come back out here? Your father and I miss you boys."

Troy chuckled at his mom, "Bye mom. I'll talk to you later. I love you." He hangs up.

"What did mom want?" Marcus asked, looking through the refrigerator.

Troy shrugged, "Same old, same old. Just checking in. She told me I need a girlfriend...again."

Marcus shook his head,"No. No no no no. No. You keep dating hot blondes with friends that I can hook up with."

"I mean, a girlfriend would be nice, I guess." Troy admitted.

"Really?"

Troy nodded, "I don't know. Maybe. I haven't had a girlfriend in a few years."

"My friend, Lola, from school says her sister is single." Marcus said. "Maybe you could go on a date with her."

"Oh?" Troy said, suddenly interested.

"Yeah. She said she's your age and she has to be really pretty because Lola is super hot."

"What's her name?" Troy asked.

Marcus shrugged, "I forgot. Somethig with a g. Gloria. Gayle. Gia. We can set you guys up if you want."

"I don't know. It seems weird. Like a blind date, almost."

"Well, blind dates are an adventure. She could either be a psychopath or a teacher, or an heiress, or a supermodel. You never know."

Troy thought about it for a minute. This girl might be nice and funny and everything he would want in a girl. "Ok."

"Are you sure you dont want to stick to your Playboy Playmates? We don't have to do this."

"Nah, I'm cool."

"Great I'll call Lola and see if her sister is available." He pulled his phone out of his pocket. "I'm Cupid for the day."

"This girl better not be a pyscho."

"I doubt it."

"Do we have any donuts?" Gabriella asked, searching through her pantry. "I've been craving one all day."

Lola laughed, "You won't find any in there. Mark bans you from junk food." She said, referring to Gabriella's trainer. "But you mind find some in my room."

"I am so tired. Morning phototshoots are not fun at all."

"I bet. I'm glad I'm not a model."

"Be very glad."

Lola heard her phone ring. She clicked the answer button. "Hello?"

"Hey, it's me. Marcus."

"Hi Marcus." Lola greeted.

"Ooh Marcus." Gabriella teased. "A new boyfriend?"

Lola shook her head, "What's up?"

"Remember you were telling about your sister? The single one?"

"Well I only have one so I remember which one you're talking about." Lola said laughing.

"Well I have a brother, who is single. Maybe we can set them up."

"My sister would love that."

Gabriella turned around, "What would I love?"

Lola ignored her sister and kept talking. "Well, how about coffee?"

"My brother loves coffee. How about tomorrow at 10?" Marcus suggested.

"Great. I'll tell my sister." Lola said before hanging up.

"Tell me what?" Gabriella asked.

Lola smiled, "I just set you up on a date."

Gabriella laughed, "Don't joke with me. I am not in the mood."

"I'm not joking." Lola insisted. "Tomorrow at Starbucks."

"With who?"

"My friend's younger brother." Lola answered, walking into the kitchen with her sister.

"Well, what's his name?"

Lola shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't ask."

Gabriella glared at her sister, "I'm not going."

Lola frowned, "Why not?"

"You just set me up with a complete stranger." Gabriella said. "You don't find that dangerous? He could be a serial killer. Or a rapist."

"You are just like mom. You worry about every little thing."

"Sometimes its good to worry."

Lola looked at her sister with pleading eyes, "Come on. You might like this guy. He might be "the one"."

"No. I don't even know his name, or what he looks like."

Lola huffed, "If you want me to, I can wait outside the Starbuck's like your chaperone."

"Or I could just not go."

"Please. Do this one thing for me. I never ask for anything."

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Yes you do."

"Ok well I'll never ask for anything again. I promise you."

Gabriella sighed, "Fine. I'll go on the stupid date."

Lola smiled, "Great."

The next morning Gabriella and Lola walked into a crowded Starbuck's. Gabriella still couldn't believe her sister roped her into this. It had to be the most ridiculous thing she's ever done.

"Can you stop bitching about it and relax?" Lola asked.

"Well I'm just thinking of ways to torture you if this doesn't go well." Gabriella explained.

"It will go fine, drama mama. Trust me." Lola turned around. "Oh I see Mar..holy shit."

"Whats wrong with you?"

"Marcus' brother."

Gabriella frowned, "Something's wrong with him? Is he ugly."

Lola shook her head, "No. He's..." She was cut off by Marcus and Troy walking up to them.

"Hi Lola." Marcus greeted.

"Hey Marcus." Lola greeted back. She turned to Gabriella. "This is my little sister Gabriella Montez."

"Oh my God." Marcus said, looking at Gabriella. "You never told me your sister was a Victoria Secret model."

"You never told me your brother was an actor." Lola shot back.

Troy smiled, "Hi. Nice to meet you."

"You too." Gabriella replied.

Lola looked at the pair, "Well Marcus, we should leave these kids alone."

Marcus dismissed Lola's comment and stared at Gabriella, "You're super hot."

Gabriella smiled, "Thank you."

"If things don't work out with my brother, feel free to call me."

Lola grabbed Marcus' hand, "Bye guys." She pulled him out of the coffee shop.

Gabriella sat down, "He seems...friendly."

"Too friendly at times. I'm sorry about that."

"Don't be. I don't mind."

"My brother failed to mention that you were a model." Troy said.

Gabriella nodded, "My sister didn't even tell me your name. Let alone the fact that you're an actor."

"Well aren't you going to get any coffee?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head, "No. I'm trying to cut down before I get addicted."

Troy laughed, "I'm way past addicted. I can't start my day without coffee."

"We should have went to somewhere with sweets. Like cupcakes."

"Cupcakes?"

"Yeah. I really want a cupcake right now. A red velvet one."

"Those are my favorite."

Gabriella smiled, "We have something in common. I wonder what else we have in common."

"What's your favorite food?"

"Pasta." Gabriella replied.

"What kind of pasta?"

Gabriella shrugged, "I don't even care. Top ramen, chow mein, spaghetti, it doesn't matter. Just don't tell my trainer. He would kill me for eating too much startch."

"I won't."

"You're lucky. Your job doesn't depend on your body."

Troy chuckled, "I beg to differ. Women buy tickets to my movies to see me with no shirt. Its like icing on top of the cake."

"I guess you're right."

They settled into a comfortable silence for a few minutes until Troy broke the silence. "You want to play 20 questions?"

"Sure. You start."

"Whats your favorite color?"

"Purple. The color of royality."

"Favorite movie?"

"Mean Girls."

"Favorite singer?"

"Adele."

"Favorite song?"

"Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine."

Troy nodded, "I like that song."

"Another thing we have in common."

"Favorite ice cream."

"Chocolate chip cookie dough. The Ben & Jerry's kind only."

After playing the game for almost an hour, Troy and Gabriella almost found it freaky how much they were alike.

"Where have you been all my life?" Troy asked. "We are one in the same."

"We might be long lost siblings."

"Then me liking you would be gross." Troy said, winking."

Gabriella smiled, "Yes that would be a shame because I like you too." She looked at her watch. "Shit I have to go. I didn't realize we talked for this long."

"Well this was fun."

"Yeah." Gabriella agreed. She grabbed his phone and quickly added her number to his contact list. "Call me. We should hang out again."

"Most definately." He reached over the table and gave her a hug. "Next time, we'll get red velvet cupcakes."

"Bye." Gabriella said, waving at him. As soon as she stepped outside, she was greeted by paparazzi and a text message from Lola.

Lola: how was it?

Gabriella smiled and sent her sister a simple reply.

Gabriella: :)

Well hello! I decided to come up with this new story because I'm the type of person where when I get a thought, my brain runs with it until I let it out. This has just been sitting in my computer for a while. Let me know what you think! :D
