Gabriella's pov
My mom stopped the car on front of East High. No one was outside. It was 10 o'clock so everyone was in class. It was my first day at East High. I was so nervous. I have moved schools a few times when I was younger I was never nervous but this time I have a reason to be. My mom told me not to be nervous but like I said I have a reason. My best friend Sharpay goes to this to this school. Me and Sharpay have been friends since we were five. We were in the same school then I moved to New York when I was seven. My mom and Sharpays mom stayed friends. Me, my mom and my dad lived in New York, Boston and California. Then we moved back to Albuquerque when I was ten but me and Sharpay went to different schools. We went to the movies and stuff over the weekends but that was it.
"Gabby are you ready?" My mom asked me.
I looked at the school I was so nervous. I was breathing really heavy.
"Mom. I can't do this!" I had a really nervous tone in my voice.
My mom reached out and put her arm on my shoulder.
"Sweetie, I know your scared but you have to be strong." She said.
"But what about.." I couldn't even finish the the sentence. Instead I just pulled up the sleeves on my bright pink blouse. Now the deep burns on my arms were visible.
My arms were badly burnt in a accident last year. I hate talking about it. Thats why I'm going to East High. So I can be with Sharpay. Sharpay is the only student at East High who knows what happened to me. My new teachers know about it but they promised that they wouldn't say anything.
My mom pulled me into a hug.
"I know it's hard" She said. "It's hard for both of us but we have to try this."
I looked down at the burns.
"They look more real then ever!" I signed.
"Thats what you said when you saw Sharpay for the first time after the accident." She said while rubbing my shoulder. "And when you saw our family after the accident, You even said that when we came to see the principal of this school. So theres no need to be worried. So Lets Go!"
I could tell my mom was trying to be strong. We got out of the car and started to walk towards the building.

Gabriella and her mom, Maria, walked into the school. The inside of the school was decorated red and white. They were greeted by the principal. Gabriella looked around the school until she saw someone down the coridor. That put a smile on her face.
Sharpay's pov
I was walking down the corridor as normal. I was waiting for my best friend Gabriella to arrive. I was allowed skip three of my classes so I could give Gabriella a tour. Sadly I have to go to back to class after lunch. I have Miss Darbus then. I hate that woman so much! As I was moving towards the office a saw a girl with long dark curly hair looking around then she caught sight of me.
"GABBY!" I screamed while running towards her.
Gabby was one of the many nicknames I have for her.
I ran up to her and gave her a hug. Of course I was careful cause I didn't want to hurt her.
After a minute we let go. I talk to Gabbys mom for a few minutes I could tell said was worried about Gabby.
"So are you ready for your tour?" I asked her.
She smiled and nodded. She hugged her mom then we started the tour of the school.

Meanwhile Chad Danforth and Troy Bolton were in the school gym playing basketball.
"So what did you think of the science homework?" Asked Troy.
"Since when did I start doing homework?" Yelled Chad while throwing the ball into the basket.
"We have that new girl starting today!" Said Troy, grabbing the ball.
"Great!" Said Chad "A sob story!"
"What are you talking about?" Asked a confused Troy.
"The teachers told us that she was badly burnt in a accident." Said Chad. "They told us not to talk about it unless she brought it up!"
"And your point is?" Asked Troy, Still confused.
"She's gonna use them burns to whatever she wants" Said Chad. "Just you wait and see!"
"Chad she might not be that type of girl!" Said Troy, throwing the ball into the basket.
Chad looked at me.
"But she might"
Troy throught about what Chad was saying. The bell rang and both boys ran out of the gym.
