Chapter 1

Meeting

Gabriella Montez, skater and the star when she is on the ice. She is different than most of the skaters that do competitions. She doesn't have a coach or a choreographer. Gabriella learned how to skate from her brother who played hockey. She was one of the skaters that everytone wasn't so sure that she had a chance to make it to the olympics, but that wasn't going to stop her. She practices all the time but she does hang out with her friends but she never was able to have a boyfriend because of her schedule but then one day something changed.

Gabriella was practicing around the rink her moves and choreography when the hockey team started coming on the ice.

"Hey Gabs." Most of the hockey players waved at her and went down to other half of the ice.

She smiled as she continued practicing. They always share the ice. Her brother used to be on the hockey team and all the guys on the team knew not to get on his bad side. When he used to be on the team, he was the captain and always let Gabriella have one side of the rink and the team have the other side. They kept it that way even after he quit because they all became like her brothers.

There was a new guy on the team today and he was just standing on the ice looking at Gabriella confused until an afro dude walked over to him.

"That's Gabriella Montez." He looked at him. "She's a figure skater. By the way, I'm Chad…Chad Danforth."

"Troy…Troy Bolton." He smiled but was still confused. "But why is she on the ice when we're on the ice. Isn't it a little dangerous for her?"

Chad chuckled, "Ever heard of Nate Montez? The former captain of our hockey team?"

Troy nodded.

"That's his sister and we used to split the rink in half. Hockey team on this side and her on the other side." Chad explained. "We kept it that way ever since because we all know how much she wants to make it to the winter olympics."

"Cool," watches her amazed. "Does she have a chance?"

"We think so but not a lot of people do because she has no coach and choreographer." Chad smiled. "But little do they know that she has a trick up her sleeve that normally only the men can do."

Troy looks at him and nods as he kept watching Gabriella. He was thinking that he had to meet her.

"You want to meet her?" Troy nodded. "YO GABS!"

Gabriella stopped her twirl and looked at Chad confused until she saw him motioning over to him. She skated over to him and stopped sideways on her skates in front of them.

"Yes Chadster?" she looked at him confused. "I'm kinda busy trying to perfect my quad."

"I know but I wanted to introduce you to someone." He looked at Troy and back at her. "Gabriella, this is Troy, he's new to the team. Troy, this is the soon to be famous Gabriella Montez."

"Chad." She gave him a look before looking at Troy. "It's nice to meet you."

Troy nodded, "You too. So you're looking good out there."

"Thanks." Gabriella smiled. "Well I better let you to it because if I know my brother, he's gonna come by and make sure his old team is keeping up their stats. See you later Chad."

With that she skated away and started practicing again. This time, she was going to do her whole program, but of course it is only going to be half the rink but it was good enough. The music started playing and all the guys stopped what they were doing and stood in a line to watch their girl do her stuff.

She was ready to do her quad that she has never done before and neither as any female figure skater. She's practiced it but always fallen when she was in the air. All the guys saw that she was going to do it and they all held their breath except Troy who was just watching her.

Gabriella was getting ready to do her jump. She took a breath and then was ready to do the biggest trick that would set her career and give her a chance to head to the olympics which she's always wanted. She jumped and twirled and counted fast, 1…2…3…4 and she landed the quad perfectly and she had a big smile on her face as she continued. All the guys started cheering knowing how hard she worked for that.

Troy was surprised, he knew that no girl has done that trick and he was amazed at how she did it and made it look effortless. She is amazing. Is all he good think about.

Gabriella finished her program and once she was, she started jumping around excitedly until she heard someone call her name. She stopped jumping around when she saw her brother in the hocky bench area calling her over. She skated over to him. He hugged her, he was proud of his little sister, he knew that she was going to do anything she could do to make it to the olympics and he tried helping her in any way he could. You see, their parents died 2 years ago in a car crash but Gabriella knew her mom wouldn't want her to stop skating.

"That was amazing Gabi." Nate smiled. "But I think we should go."

"Nate, I wanna stay." Gabriella smiled. "You can go, I'll get a ride from Chad or one of the guys."

"Alright, I'll see you at home." He hugged her and kissed her forehead before waving to the guys and walking out of the rink.

"Thank God he left." She smiled and took off her skates and put her hockey skates on and skated over to the boys. "So since I landed my quad, I was thinking it was time to have some fun."

"You heard her boys." Chad nudged her shoulder. "She was to have some fun. Get her a stick and lets see what this figure skater has in her."

Gabriella giggled. After she was done with practice, she always liked playing hockey with the guys. They never had a problem with it because she was pretty good at that as well. Let's just say if skates had anything to do with anything, she would be good with it.

"Alright Chad, you taking me home right?"

Chad looked at her and smiled, "Well I was thinking Troy would because I have to go meet up with Taylor and Sharpay. You wouldn't mind right Troy?"

Troy looked at Chad then at Gabriella, "No I wouldn't mind."

"Alright good. Later Gabster." Chad hugged Gabriella and ran off.

"So, you ready?" Troy looked at Gabriella.

Gabriella smiled, "Yeah lets go."

They left for Troy's car. He opened the passenger seat for Gabriella and she got in as he got in on the other side. He started the car and headed out of the parking lot. Gabriella told him where she lived and he headed to her house. They car ride was silence since neither of them knew what to say to the other since they just met and all.

Gabriella glanced at him. She did have to say he was cute but she had to focus on her skating. She didn't have time for boys even though she is 18 years old. She did go on a couple dates but they didn't want to deal with working around her schedule so she decided to worry about dating right now.

"So, how much do you practice?" Troy finally said breaking the silence.

Gabriella looked at him, "Everyday 9 in the morning until whenever unless I have plans."

"What about school?" he glanced at her.

"Oh I don't go to school." Gabriella smiled. "I graduated last year from high school"

Troy nodded, "I graduated 2 years ago."

"So you want to be a hockey player?"

"Yeah that has been my dream since I was able to walk and skate." Troy smiled. "I joined the team since I know there is a bigger chance that scouts would look at me because the team has a reputation and it is mostly because of your brother."

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, it kinda hurt Nate to stop playing for the team to go to another team because he enjoyed working with the guys. He didn't care if he was going to make pro, he just wanted to help other people but it seems to me that he might make pro."

"Yeah, he's a pretty sweet player."

"Yeah." she giggled and they pulled up to her house. "Well this is my stop. Thanks for driving me home. I guess I'll see you tomorrow at your practice."

"Yeah." Troy nodded and didn't think of what he was doing but he kissed her cheek which shocked her. "See you tomorrow."

She nodded and was still shocked of the kiss on her cheek as she got out of the car and watched Troy drive off. She didn't want to admit it but she felt sparks when his lips made contact to her cheek. I can't fall for him. I just can't. I have the nationals and the olympics to think he has hockey to worry about. He wouldn't have time for me like I won't have for him. It just won't work. I know it won't.

She just sighed and went in her side. She did want to feel love at least once in her life but she was afraid of getting heartbroken and not able to skate with her heart. She just had to stop these feelings that she is already feeling for him before it gets too far.
