Chapter 1

"Gabriella?"

Her eyelids slowly fluttered open. The blinding lights hit her eyes like sharp knives and her head started to spin. She looked around and found the familiar cyan orbs looking down at her. All of a sudden, her heart was filled with warmth.

With all of her might, she tried to lift up her hand, reaching out for his. She was already out of breath when her hand finally reached out. He quickly grabbed hers in his and held it tight. As soon as the familiar fingers touched hers, she felt like she was about to fly. The memories of all the years that they'd went through were flashing inside her mind, as if she was watching her entire life in fast forward.

"Don't leave me, Troy," she whispered softly, closing her eyes again, too tired now to keep them open. She didn't remember why she became this weak. Did she do it again? But why?

No. 'Why?' is a wrong question, she thought. She has a thousand reasons why. The right question is; 'why not?'

"Don't. Leave." Her voice slurred out this time as hot tears streamed down on her cheeks.

"Never, Gabi," she could hear his sweet voice ringing through her ears.

"Never."

"Soooo? You enjoy the flight?" asked the blonde with a high-pitch voice as she walked down to the airport door. Her pink heels hitting the marble floor making a click-clack sound that echoed softly throughout LAX. Her platinum blonde curls bounced lightly with each step she took. Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked back to her friend.

"It was fine, Shar," her friend replied. Her hair was a darker shade of blonde and shorter than her friend's, and instead of heels, she wore a pair of comfortable ballet flats. But that didn't make her look shorter.

"Oh right. You took the economy class didn't you? I bet it was horrid!" Sharpay said. Her eyes flickered in disgust. "But I'm glad you're here, Liv," she said again with a sincere smile.

"Me too," Olivia smiled back and look around the crowded airport.

It was the first time for Olivia Schuss to be in Los Angeles. Hell, it was the first time she actually took a step out of her hometown in Texas ever since she was born! She met Sharpay in a college party during her freshman year and they soon became friends. Even when Sharpay decided to go back to LA to pursue her career as an actress, they still try to keep in touch with each other. Now that Olivia had finally graduated from her university, she decided to take a little 'break' by moving to LA and try her luck as a freelance writer. As soon as she told her plan to Sharpay, the blonde was more than happy to invite her to move in to her huge apartment.

"I can't wait to meet your flatmates. They sound pretty amazing from the stories you'd told me," Olivia said.

Before Olivia, Sharpay had lived in the apartment with two other girls for almost a year now. The girls were also her old friends in college and are working in LA too. And to add the excitement, there are also three boys who live in the apartment right next door to Sharpay's and from the stories that Sharpay had told her over and over again, the six of them had gone through a lot of wild nights of partying and skinny dipping in the beach right behind the apartment. A life that, for Olivia―a girl who was born and grew up in Texas―, sounds so strange and alien.

"I bet you'll love them! They can't wait to meet you too. In fact, we have arranged a little welcoming party for you tonight. You're gonna love it!" Sharpay squealed in excitement.

Olivia just smiled awkwardly. She had no idea what her best friend got under her sleeve. It's going to be crazy, she thought to herself as the both of them made their way out of LAX and into the scorching light of California sun.
