D.I.S.C.L.A.I.M.E.R. If I owned High School Musical I would have to be super rich. I'm not super rich so no I don't own HSM. I do own the plot, any original characters and/or places i made up.
When your mom has had 7 failed marriages, love seems like something impossible to get, thats why I Gabriella Elizabeth Montez don't believe in love. I believe people fall in lust, they go and say 'I love you' to get into someone's pants then break up like nothing happened. Guys always seem to think that girls need them to pay the bills, carry the big heavy boxes, and whatever else but the reality is us girl can pay our own bills and move all the heavy stuff, adn we don't need a guy always there. I've never been in this so called 'love' and don't plan to, especially when most of of the guys around me claim they love me for me, when all they want is my body, use me as a trophy, and for my money. Oh did I mention my mom is the designer of Meri(made up) one of the hottest brands out there, its as big as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Versace and others, so yeah I'm pretty wealthy...well my mom is but since I'm her daughter I guess I am. You may be thinking I'm some rich, spoiled brat but I'm not. Sure I have alot of designer stuff, tons of sunglasses since I guess you could say I'm obsessed with them but anyways I'm very down to earth, and I don't go around having people put me on TV for being some heiress. My friends? Well lets just say they're amazing, Sharpay is my best friend and has been ever since I moved to Albuquerque which is the middle of sophomore year of high school. The rest of my friend or as I like to say 'the gang' are Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Kelsi, Jason, and Ryan. Oh and extra curricular stuff at school, well I'm on the schoslatic decathalon team and the dram club. You may think besides my mom's marriage problems my life's perfect, but its far from it. Welcome to my life.
Mondays, my least favorite day of the week, why? Because after a weekend who wants to wake up early to go to school. After my morning shower I went to my huge closet and grabbed some light washed jeans, a light blue Hollister tee, a white jacket and some white flip flops. Yeah it wasn't a flashy outfit but whatever. After I got dressed and put on some lotion called Love Spell, applied a tiny bit of make-up and straighten my normally curly hair, I grabbed my school stuff, and a pair of white Chanel sunglasses before going downstairs. There was a smell coming from the kitchen...chocolate pancakes, great that means mom probably met some guy who she'll be engaged to 6 months from now, get maried a few months after that, divorce after 5 months, swear off love, then repeat the whole thing again 2 years later.
"Ma I'm heading to school! I'll be back late today since I have basketball try-outs!" I called heading toward the front door.
"Ok sweetie good luck!" Mom called back. I walked to my black Mercedes CLK350 coupe, throwing my stuff in theassenger seat before driving off to school. When I reached school, I grabbed my stuff after parking my car and walked through the front doors of East High, something seemed different today, instead of a quiet Monday morning, the halls seemed full of energy and even more whispers then usual.
"Can you believe he's coming back?" I heard someone whispered sounding really excited.
"Wonder if he'll be as hot as before" I heard a cheeleader squeal, who are they talking about? As I reached my locker and put my stuff away and got out stuff for my morning classes Sharpay came up looking more perky then she'd usually be on Mondays.
"Hey Ella!" Shar said.
"Hey Shar, you seem happy today, whats up?" I asked.
"Troy's moved back to Albuquerque today is supposed to be his first day!" Sharpay said excitedly, Troy...he must be the guy I've been hearing about.
"Um Shar, one who the heck is Troy and two aren't you dating Zeke?" I asked.
"Of course I'm dating Zeke but Troy was like my brother. And what do you mean who- oh yeah he moved right before you came here, well he was like the golden boy at East High, captain of the basketball team, everygirl loved him and-"
"In other words some egotistical jock head, who'll hook up with someone the first week they're here" I finished for her, Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"Ella he's not that bad, you'll love-" Sharpay stopped at that when I give her a look, she sighed, "you'll like him when you meet him" She said.
"Yeah whatever, I doubt that." I said as we walked to homeroom, on the way alot of guys were staring and giving me winks, I would say giving sharpay winks but she's dating Zeke and everyone knows that, anyways guys always try to hit on me but I never give them the time of day. As we reached homeroom Sharpay left my side and practically ran over to where a little crowd was gathered...Troy, if he was gonna get that much attention then I'm right he's probalby got the biggest ego in the world. I walked past the crowd and to my seat in the back by Taylor who was actually instead of all over Troy, she was talking to her boyfriend Chad.
"Hey Gabster!" Chad said I gave him a friendly hug before sitting in my seat.
"Hi Tay! Hey Chad" I said.
"So I see you're not hanging over my buddy Troy." Chad said poiting to the guy infront of him, while Taylor and I gave him a 'did you really just ask that'.
"No Chad, if you haven't noticed, I haven't giving any guy the chance," I saw Troy turn around and look at me but kept talking and ignored him "And I'm not gonna change just because some guy comes here who seems to have every girl worship the ground he walks on." I said.
"Just asking" Chad said turning and started to Troy, while the rest of the gang came over and Sharpay took her seat in front of me, just as Darbus came in wearing one of her ridiulously colorful outfits.
"Quiet down!" She said sternly and cleared her throat before continuing, "Now we have a new student today Troy Bolton, if you don't know him then get to know him anyways today..." Darbus went on with teh announcent for the rest of homeroom. After the the bell rang the I was the last to leave since I had gym and the teacher doesn't mind if you're a few minutes late. I grabbed my stuff and walked out noticing Troy was leaning against the wall, 3...2...1..
"Hey Gabriella right?" He asked walking up behind me as if on cue, I could basically predict evey guy's moves bacause they're all the same.
"Not interested." I said walking alittle bit faster and turning into the gym noticing Troy still behind me.
"Miss! Why are you late!?" Some guy yeled, great a new gym teacher this day keeps getting better.
"I was-"
"She was helping me with something dad" Troy said standing next to me, wait did he just say dad?
"Ok well don't be late again neither one of you now have a seat." Troy's dad said.
"Now for those of you who don't know or remember, I'm coach Bolton, I'll be the gym teacher and guy's basketball coach. Today Well be starting some basketball" He went on and on about what we were gonna do for the day. After the whole basketball talk Coach Bolton asked if there were any volenteer and picked Troy, he asked if anyone wanted to play one on one against him and all the hands dropped. What is up with that everyone is acting like Mr. Ego is god or something, I rolled my eyes and raised my hand.
"Ah Miss..."
"Gabriella Montez" I finished for coach.
"Right Miss Montez come over here." Coach said handing the basketball over, everyone in the gym watched us.
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Troy asked, typical every guy thinks just because I'm a girl or I'm smart it means I can't dribble a basketball. I grabbed the ball from Troy and made a easy 3-pointer.
"Just make sure your ready" I said and he raised an eye brow and we started our game. It ended up in a tie and both of us out of breath.
"Ok! Everybody grab a baskteball and start practicing. Troy, Gabriella go get something to drink." Coach said, I headed for the gym door with Troy behind me.
"Good game, I've never been that out of breath before." Troy said.
"Later Bolton" I said going back into the gym.
Question: Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave
Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own car note, I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships
The shoes on my feet
I bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I bought it
The house I live in
I bought it
The car I'm driving
I bought it
I depend on me (I depend on me)
