Hey everyone! This is my first fan fic ever! Umm I don't know which was Gabriellas old middle school…..I just knew it was in San Diego….so I used my own…Trace Middle school….I hope you enjoy please review I promise ill update soon luv ya!

"Attention students, all students interested in attending the math counts challenge at San Diego must send their applications now," this message echoed through the halls of east high.

"Gaby, we should send our applications, I cant wait to go to the beach!" Taylor squeeled.

"Yeah me too," Gabriella sighed. Taylor looked puzzled as she saw her friend sigh. "Whats wrong Gabs" she asked. "Nothing…really im fine…its just that…" Taylor cut her off and said "You don't like leaving home behind? Gabriella looked at her and just said, "Well, that trip would mean going back to San Diego and…the bell rang and didn't lt her finish her sentence. They both rushed to class

As she was about to sit in her desk she dropped a paper, she was about to pick it up when a blonde tall guy picked it up for her. She looked up surprised since she was sure it was Ryan (Ryan wasn't so much of a gentle man). But she was wrong, an unfamiliar face handed the paper to her and smiled. Gabriella was speechless, she didn't even say thank you. The boy just sat in a chair near by and opened his book. That's weird, that boy looks so familiar…She thought. Her thoughts were disturbed as a voice called "Having fun down there?" She knew that voice immediately it was Troy. "Yeah a blast, jeje, no I was just picking up a paper I dropped" she stood right up again.

"People, people take your sits," Ms. Darbus called. Troy and Gabriella quickly sat.

Gabriella couldn't stop glancing at that blonde boy I know ive seen him some were…but were? "Miss Montez I asked you a question!" Miss Darbus barked. "Wait what?...Im sorry Miss could you repeat your question?" she pleaded. "No Miss Montez you had your chance…..Sharpay could you answer this simple question?"

"Off course Miss, that quote is from Hamlet" she answered proudly and glared at Gabriella. Gabriella just looked away.

Troy nudged Gabriella's elbow, and asked "Everything alright?" "Yeah, yeah I was just thinking about something…" she turned back to look at the boy. Troy saw this and he could feel his blood get warmer, he felt weirdly jealous about this.

The bell rang and Gabriella rushed to her locker…I hope its here…"Darn it !" she said, as she looked all over her locker.

"What you looking for," Troy asked leaning next to her locker. "oh nothing just an old book…" she said. "Oh well…I was wondering if maybe you..." "Im sorry Troy, I really have to get home now ill see you tomorrow…bye!" she disappeared into the hall. "Bye…" he sighed. I wonder whats up with her…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Its gotta be here somewere…ughh were did I leave it…" "Mami! Do you know were my old year book is? Gabriella called out. "Yes honey, its in the second shelf to the left" "oh I remember were I left it thanks mom!"

"Aja found you little sneak !" she said happily. She pulled it out of a shelf filled with old year books and started flipping the pages. She kept on flipping until something caught her eye "Alan Bruckhim, that's him" she gasped.

As she saw those blue eyes and that curly messy blonde hair she remembered just who he was…..an old middle school crush.

Flash back-----

Gabriella ran through the empty halls with a trophy in her hands. The science fair had just ended, and she had won first place. After they announced her winner, she ran out of the gym and just wanted to hide in the bathroom. This was a routine she knew by now, after winning something,a math competition, science, whatever it was, Jessica Bourke Trace Middle school's own little Ice queen followed by her army of skanks, would make Gabriella´s life miserable. So poor Gabriella instead of enjoying her victory, feared that dreadful sound she will soon hear, the bell.

Before she could open the bathroom door, the bell rang, making her hand tremble with fear. She gazed around and felt relieved to see no one was there yet, so she opened the door and when she was about to step in, she dropped her trophy and gasped. Right there standing in a pink mini skirt with a red top, was Jessica Bourke.

"What have we here," she said picking up Gabriellas trophy. Gabriella just stared at her with fear. "hmm this looks like silver, don't you think Denise?" she asked her friend. Denise nodded sheepishly; all of her friends seem to fear Jessica. She took a pink lighter out of her purse and said

"Wow, this would definitely make a good pair of earrings don't you think Gabriella?". She flicked it on and started to move it towards the trophy. "No please don't!!"Gabriella pleaded.

"Shut up lab rat you are next" she said with a grin on her face. Gabriella watched as the silver trophy started melting like a lit candle. She couldn't hold back her tears, but then she realized how stupid Jessica had been, all the melting silver would soon reach her hands.

"Holy shiit!, ouch!" Jessica screamed dropping the melted trophy to the floor. "You knew this would happen didn't you?, ughh look at my fresh manicured hand, you are going to pay for this Montez!" she screamed.

Gabriella quickly got up the floor and ran out the door. Her heart was pounding like a drum, she could hear Jessica's heels clicking behind her. She didn't know where to run; the school was pretty much empty since the bell had rung minutes ago. Suddenly she felt her head bump against something and she fell to the ground. She opened her eyes to see a blonde boy looking down at her.

"Im so sorry, I didn't see you, are you ok?" he asked. She blushed when their eyes met, he was Alan, her crush. He always stood up for her, even though Jessica had a big crush on him as well. Another reason why Jessica hated Gabriella. He helped her up, and said "You look like you just seen a ghost, what where you running from?" "Oh well…" He cut her off "Jessica giving you problems again?" "Well, …she…we were…yeah I guess" she sighed.

"Gabriella, you gotta put a stop to this" he said putting his arm around her. Gabriella could feel her cheeks burning and her hands starting to sweat. Just as she was going to say something to him, she heard a scream and clicking heels approaching. "Its her!" she whimpered.

"Don't worry he said she wont hurt you, im here with you" he whispered.

"Eww Alan what do you think you are doing? Let go of the lab rat plzzz!" she squealed and laughed. Gabriella and Alan just stared. Jessica looked desperate and did something out of the blue, so unexpected. She grabbed Alan's head, leaned in and forcefully kissed him.

Gabriella gasped at the sight, she was as surprised as Alan, but then when the kiss didn't stop, Gabriella burst into tears and ran away.

Why did he kiss her back? Why? She thought as she ran to find her parked blue bike. She rode all the way crying home tears flying down her cheeks.

I don't ever want to see him again, how could he do this to me? As she got home she ran to her room and locked the door. "Gaby, honey is everything allright?" her concerned mother asked.

"I don't want to talk about it, please go away mom" Gabriella moaned. Miss Montez concerned just walked away from her door. It was 3:45pm, and Gabriella stayed there locked in her room for the rest of the day.

Her eyes were puffy and red from all the crying. Im never going to talk to him again, im never even going to look at him ever! She thought angrily. She kept on sobbing until she cried herself to sleep.

The next day she got up, went into the shower, got a black sweatshirt and some jeans. Put her hair into a side ponytail and went down. Her mother stared at her worried and said "Good morning honey." She didn't want to bring up whatever was that had upset her daughter so much. "Hey mom, listen Im not really hungry, besides Im late for school, love you bye!" she ran out and got her bike.

She never took the bus like other kids; Jessica rode the same bus she did. So she just took her bike it wasn't that far anyway.

As she got to school, she went to her locker got a book and just sat reading it. She was reading the Lovely Bones. She was really into her reading so she didn't hear someone sit next to her.

"Hey Gabriella…"the voice said. Gabriella immediately knew that voice, it was Alan. "Listen Gabriella about yesterday…"

"You don't have to explain anything, she kissed you, you kissed her back I can do the math" she said coldly not looking at him.

"But, you don't…."he started. " Hey honey bun, eww talking to the lab rat again are we?" Jessica said in her whiney voice. Gabriella looked puzzle Why is she calling Alan "honey bun" and why isn't he reacting?

"Going baby," he replied. Gabriella froze, she felt as if she'd just been punched in the stomach, she couldn't breath her world just froze.

"Well bye Gabriella" he said trying to make eye contact, but she looked away. He sighed and muttered something to himself.

As she heard him walk away, she turned to look at him and was devastated by the sight. Jessica had her fresh manicured hand holding his. Both of them disappearing into the hall.

Gabriella thought she would cry, but she held her tears in and just walked to her class.

She never talked to him again, or looked at him, she always avoided him. The word had spread about Jessica and Alan deep down it was killing Gabriella but she let the feeling fade away slowly.

She moved to Albuquerque and met Troy, no more Alan, until this day.
