This is my new story, I'd like to think of it as my first story since I've never been on here for a year – but I'm back. So, tell me what you think.

Chapter 1

Gabriella was at home, laying upon her bed staring at the ceiling right above her. She's been thinking about the past, but a certain blue eyed boy came across, and she shook the thought of him away. Whenever she thought of him, she had to shake him out of her head. He caused her too much pain. She'd like to thank her mom for calling her downstairs for dinner. She instantly rushed down the stairs and into the dining room.

"Someone's hungry. What's the rush, sweetie?" Maria asked as her daughter quickly sat down

"Oh nothing, I just – never had lunch today." Gabriella laughed nervously

"Alright. Well I made spaghetti and I need to go back to work. They called me an hour ago, so I'll be back in a few hours. Stay safe, okay?" She kissed my forehead as she placed the plate in front of me before walking out of the house.

"Alone. Once again." I mumbled as I grabbed my phone from my pocket, "Shar?"

"What is it, Gabi? Are you alone… Again?" Sharpay asked

I giggled, "How'd you know?"

She scoffed, "It's kind of obvious. You're always alone every other day. Sometimes I think your mom is hiding something from you."

"I don't think she is. She tells me everything, I think." I bit my lip

"Okay, I won't put up an argument with you. I'll be there in 5." She hung up before I could respond.

I quickly began to eat my spaghetti, right when the doorbell rang I wiped my mouth with the napkin. I stood up and quickly ran to the door, and smiled when I saw Sharpay.

"I'm guessing you missed me." She grinned

I rolled my eyes, "Of course I missed you."

"I'll ignore the sarcasm there." She put her purse down, "So, what should we do?"

"Did you eat dinner yet? My mom has some spaghetti in the kitchen." I asked

"Spaghetti? Do you think I could eat that tomato sauce covered noodles in this outfit?" She said, dramatically

I bit my lip and shook my head, "Uhm. No? Okay fine, what can you eat in that outfit?"

"Depends on what you have. Plus, I already ate. You don't need to worry about that." She walked into the living room, and sat upon the couch

"Well you should've told me that before you almost scared me to death." I followed her and sat beside her, "So, I saw your online status. Who are you dating now?"

She smiled, "Well there's this new guy that's been at our school for a week now. I've been hanging out with him and then just yesterday when we were at the park he asked me out. I said yes."

I squealed, "Oh my god. May I ask, who is this lucky guy?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"His name's Troy Bolton" She laughed.

My smile fell. Troy Bolton, he's here – and going to the same school as me? This cannot be happening. I covered my face with my hands and laid on Sharpay's lap. I felt her playing with my hair.

"What's wrong, do you already like him cause his name is cute?" I could tell she was smiling.

I just groaned and nodded my head. He's dating, my best friend? He even knows I go to East High. I just know, when I see him again – It will not, be pretty.
