Gabriella's Pov:

"Beep beep beep" the alarm clock blares through my room

I wake up and sluggishly walk into my bathroom turning my alarm clock off in the process

After taking a shower I dressed into blue vigoss jeans, a Taylor swift t-shirt and red coca cola hoodie buddie.

Today was yet another first day of school for me, seeing as this is the 13th time I have moved because of my mom's job and this is the 11th we have moved since my dad passed away.

Moving so much gets on my nerves having to make new friends again and again. I just wish that I could at least finish up high school here.

Now my mom and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and my mom told me that we aren't moving till I graduate.

I'm glad I was able to have a tour of the school East High last week so I would get completely lost

At East High:

As I walked into school people stopped and stared at me knowing that I'm the new kid.

While walking to my homeroom because I wasn't looking where I was going and I knocked into a group of people.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said

"It's ok, Are you new here to East High and Albuquerque?" said an African American boy with an afro

"Yes, I am new to East High and Albuquerque" I said

"That's cool, I'm Chad Danforth" said the boy with the afro

"And this is my girlfriend Taylor McKessie" Chad said pointing to an African American girl

"This is Sharpay Evans" Taylor said pointing to a blonde girl wearing all pink

"This is my boyfriend Zeke Baylor" said Sharpay pointing to another African American boy with a smaller afro then Chad's

"This is Sharpay's Twin brother Ryan Evans" said Zeke pointing to a blonde boy that had similar features as Sharpay

"And this is my girlfriend Kelsi Neilson" said Ryan pointing to a shorter girl with glasses

'And finally this is….." Kelsi said but stopped when she saw that I was staring into his eyes and he was staring back at me the same way "Troy Bolton." Kelsi added

"Damn he's really cute." I said to myself mesmerize by his ocean blue eyes

"Damn she's really cute" he said to himself

"Hi" I said

"Hi! And what's your name?" Troy said

"Oh my name is Gabriella Montez and I just transferred here from California" I said

"Cool, nice to meet you Gabriella" they all said together

"Well, Gabriella you are now officially part of the gang" Troy said

"Well, Troy here is the captain of the variety basketball team with Chad, and Zeke as part of the team" Taylor said as she and Sharpay hugged me

"Gabriella, who do you have as your homeroom teacher?" Chad asked

"Mrs. Darbus, Why?" I said

So we can help you get to class on time. We all have Miss Darbus." Said Sharpay

"Let's go before we get a detention from Darbus" Troy said

"Yah, man I can't take her talking about "The Arts" in homeroom and I won't take that again for another hour for detention." Chad said

"Let's go then" Taylor said as we rushed to homeroom as the bell rings

At Lunch:

The bell rings signaling that its lunch time

"Hey Gabi you're going to sit with us at lunch. Right? " Taylor asks knowingly that she already knew the answer.

"Of course." Gabi said excitedly! She closed her locker and put her books for the second half of the day in her bag and linking arms with Taylor as they walk to the Student Center.

In the Student Center:

Everybody is murmuring and whispering as they watch Gabriella and Taylor enter the Student center and walk to the table that the gang occupies every lunch time.

Gabriella bluntly asks the gang once she and Taylor reached the table "why is everyone staring at me and whispering?"

"Most likely because your new , and your hanging with us instead of sitting by yourself like everyone thinks a new student does at lunch." Kelsi replied

"Oh and probably because lunk head basketball superstar over here likes you and everybody can tell he likes you and the cheerleaders are raging with jealousy." Taylor added while pointing to Troy

Gabriella's eyes follow where Taylor was pointing and land on Troy's crystal clear ocean blue eyes as their faces grow ruby red with embarrassment and shyness.
