Chapter 1

17-year old Gabriella Montez was getting ready for the first day of school as a senior in her bedroom in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was wearing a light pink square neck top, light wash jeans, white ballet flats, very little makeup, and her hair was down in curls. Gabriella was naturally beautiful so there was no need for pounds of makeup. It was very quiet in her room until Gabriella's phone went off.

"Hello?" said Gabriella.

"Hey Beautiful!" said the voice.

"Hey Troy!" Gabriella said with a grin on her face.

"Are you ready for school?" said Troy.

"Yep, just about."

"Great, I'll come pick you up in 15 minutes."

"Ok, see you later Troy."

"Wait, I think you forgot to say something."

"What?"

"The three little words that I say to you many times?"

"Umm, I don't know what you're talking about." said Gabriella trying to hide her giggles.

"Gabi! I'm hurt!" said Troy.

"Troy, I'm just kidding!" Gabriella lets out a laugh.

"I know." Troy's lips curled into a smile.

"I love you Troy."

"I love you too Gabi."

The two love birds hang up and Gabriella heads downstairs to get breakfast.

"Good morning mom." Gabriella said.

"Good morning sweetie. Have some pancakes. Are you excited for school?" said Anna Montez.

"Actually mom, I am. I mean I have great friends and the teachers are awesome. I like that I don't have to go around trying to make new friends all the time." said Gabriella while eating.

Gabriella and her mom moved a lot because her mom was continuously transferred but they finally settled in Albuquerque and Anna promised that they weren't going to move for a very long time.

"Are you sure those are the only things that are making you happy about starting school again and not about a certain boy with nice blue eyes?" Anna said smirking.

When Troy and Gabriella first met, Troy's piercing blue eyes were the first thing she noticed besides his nice body and attractive smile.

"Mom!" said Gabriella blushing.

"I'm sorry sweetie but you know I'm right." Anna said with a smile on her face.

Gabriella grew silent because what she said about Troy was true. They were both deeply in love with each other. She always thought about him before she went to sleep and was missing him when they weren't together. Gabriella knew that Troy Bolton was the perfect guy for her. She never felt that way about another guy before in her life.

"I have to go to work now so have a nice day at school. Love you!" said Anna. She planted a kiss on Gabriella's cheek.

"Bye mom! Love you too!" said Gabriella.

Gabriella continued to eat breakfast until she felt that her stomach was going to burst if she ate anymore. She put away the dishes and waited for Troy to arrive. 5 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Gabriella walked over and opened up the door.

"Hey you." said Troy smiling while leaning on the door frame.

"Hi Troy." said Gabriella with a big grin on her face.

They both leaned in to share a very short but sweet kiss on the lips and gave each other a tight hug.

"You look gorgeous Gabriella." said Troy smiling. Gabriella started to blush.

"Thanks Troy, you look great too." Troy was wearing dark jeans, a blue Hollister (don't own) t-shirt, and sneakers.

"We better get going." said Troy.

"Right. Let me grab my book bag first."

Gabriella grabs her book bag and went out to the car.

"Let me get that for you Gabi." Troy being one of the most polite guys in Albuquerque did the courteous thing and opened up Gabriella's door for her.

"Thanks Troy, what a gentleman!" Gabriella said laughing.

"Your welcome, honey." said Troy. Gabriella smiled. She always loved it when he called her things like that.

10 minutes later they arrived at East High School. Troy went around to open Gabriella's door and they walked hand in hand into the school.

"Gabi!!" a blond girl shrieked.

"Hey Shar!" said Gabriella. Sharpay Evans is one of Gabriella's best friends. She is the queen of fashion and the drama club. She was the always the lead in all of East High's productions along with her twin brother Ryan Evans.

Gabriella and Troy hurried along to meet up with their other friends.

"Hey guys!" said Troy and Gabriella in sync.

"Hey captain!" said Troy's best friend Chad Danforth. Chad like Troy was on East High's basketball team with their other friends Zeke Baylor and Jason Cross. Chad was dating Gabriella's other best friend Taylor McKessie; Zeke was dating Sharpay; Jason was dating Kelsi Neilson, the music composer.

"So Gabi, are you going to join the scholastic decathlon team this year?" said Taylor.

"I don't know. I might. That is if Troy comes to watch the competitions." said Gabriella while turning her head to look at Troy.

"Of course Gabi. You know I'm always there to support you like you do for me at our basketball games." said Troy grinning.

"Yes, I know." said Gabriella and leaned in to give Troy a kiss on the lips.

"And that's why I love you." said Gabriella.

"I love you too babe." said Troy smiling. They both leaned in once again to kiss.

"Eww! Get a room you guys!" yelped Chad like a 5-year-old.

"Chad!" everyone screamed. Taylor smacked Chad on his arm.

"Ow! Sorry." Chad said while rolling his eyes.

"Aren't they so cute!" said Sharpay.

"Yea, they are." said Kelsi smiling.

"I hate to break this love fest up but I think it's about time we get to class." Zeke said.

"You're so right Zekey!" said Sharpay.

"Zekey?" Jason laughed.

"Be quiet!" said Zeke.

"Come on you guys!" said Ryan.

The gang started to walk and pushed Gabriella and Troy along into Ms. Darbus' class for homeroom. They arrived in the classroom and Gabriella froze when she saw the one person she did not expect to see.
