GABRIELLA
gabriella watched out the big bay window as her mother instructed the movers where to put each of the boxes. when she told her parents the only way she wouldn't quit was to allow her to go to public school, she didn't expect for them to up and move. yet, now here she was in albuquerque new mexico which is a long way from her home in new york city. her father, the lucky bastard, was still in new york closing up some business deals. he was due to be at their new home by friday. she wasn't looking forward to his arrival either, but she didn't want to think about that. the house was huge, with plenty of rooms to spare. her parents' room was on the left side of the house while hers was on the right. that was something she was grateful for. her room was lavishly decorated by her mother's decorator. she had just wanted a regular teenage room, but her mother thought that that was too common. gabriella didn't know why she bothered; it would end up with blood stains everywhere eventually. still her mother was determined to make everything be picturesque of a new york townhouse, even if they were in new mexico now. her mother desperately wanted to keep up with her new york lifestyle which made gabi wonder why they even moved in the first place.
to tell you the truth gabi was a little nervous about starting school and making friends on monday. the school part she wasn't so worried about because she was always naturally smart. she got that from her father who graduated valedictorian from Harvard. other than that she wouldn't consider her father very smart, not that she'd ever say that. really what was bothering her was the making friends part. half of her told her to just stay away from people, and the other half told her she needed friends. the problem was, since her music had begun to be popular people seemed to want to be her friends. she was a traditional girl who cherished her friendships. the last thing she wanted was fake friends. her mother was the exact opposite she only wanted friends who would push her status or gabi's career up the ladder. sometimes she wondered how a girl like herself could come from parents like hers. then again, she wasn't perfect. she was reminded of this fact every day, even though she already knew it to be true.
the brunette continued to watch her mother, and think about school on monday. her mother had signed her up for all advanced classes, except for drama and choir. her mother had also made it clear that she was not allowed to sign up for any after school activities until after they finished producing her cd which wouldn't be until december. not that gabriella would have time anyway between her ap classes and producing the new cd, SILENCE. her attempt at a normal senior year was quickly being shot down by her parents. it was mostly her mother, but she knew her father was behind it one hundred percent. hell, she was surprised they even considered, let alone agreed, to her desire to attend a public school. then again it might have something to do with her threatening to quit singing. of course, they had to move half way across the country for her to go public school for a reason unknown to the teenager. right now though she really didn't care. things were going her way more than usual so she wasn't going to complain. she couldn't help the small but genuine smile that graced her lips as she continued to watch the movers.
as she was about to get up she noticed a boy directly across the street shooting baskets. if that was her neighbor she lucked out. she watched him intently as he took a shot. his bare (very sculpted) chest tensed as he prepared for the shot. his strong muscular-looking legs easily pushed him off the ground as his most likely calloused fingers pushed the ball into the air. it went in with a swish. as he came back down from the shot, his gorgeous dark brown hair fell into his eyes. he really was exquisite. he probably has a girlfriend, gabi thought to herself. it didn't relaly matter anyway because her parents would never allow her to date someone whose name wasn't plastered all over the billboards or movie posters. too bad too. that didn't mean she couldn't at least befriend him. anyway, she always wanted to learn how to play sports, and right now basketball seemed like the perfect place to start. getting up she adjusted her plaid shorts and went out the front door. the young woman wasn't shy like she used to be when she was younger so approaching strange people didn't un-nerve her like it used to. she had just made it past
her mother, the movers, and the moving truck when she heard her mother's shrill voice, "Gabriella Montez!" the teenager stopped short and squinted her eyes together at her mother's tone. "come here!" opening her eyes, they connected with two ocean blue ones. even the mystery boy's eyes were perfect. slowly she turned back, and began to walk back to her mother. gabi couldn't help but wonder if he was still looking at her. she couldn't help but sneak a glance over her shoulder. yep, he was still looking, and she automatically bit her lower lip and ducked her head. there was that shy little gabriella again. that side of her didn't stay apparent for long because her mother shoved her ipod into her hand and pointed towards the door. sighing, the brunette walked into the house.
