This oneshot isn't my best work, I'm sorry, but I'll try to make the next one better! This was requested by JennCorinthos so I hope it lives up to your expectations!

Disclaimer: I do not own the song, although I have made a couple of changes to it as you may notice. I also do not own the characters.

Gabriella Montez stood awkwardly in the huge hallway of her new school, East High. Self-assured seniors moved around, yelling, laughing, and hugging. She spotted one of her friends, Taylor McKessie, and she walked over, trying to avoid being stood on, darting in between the confident students. Taylor squeezed her arm, obviously trying to reassure her, but it didn't work.

Nerves pulled at Gabriella's stomach, and then the bell rang, and she had to separate from Taylor.

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say "hi" to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around,
Before

As she made her way to her first class, a tall boy with sandy hair and a dreamy smile glanced over at her. He nodded and raised an eyebrow, acknowledging her presence and sending tingles through her spine. She almost flew to her next class. She wanted to know who he was. He was gorgeous! He was obviously a senior, which made it even more exciting.

Gabriella sat down carefully in her next class, turning her nose up in disgust as the boys in the class through paper dart and fired spit-balls.

Some things obviously hadn't changed over the holidays, she thought to herself.

'Coz when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're
Fifteen feeling like there nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before who you're gonna be
Fifteen

Her next class was Music, and she sat next to a girl who looked friendly and dramatic. As soon as she sat down, the girl grasped her arm, introducing herself and smiling brightly. A little intimidated, but still glad, Gabriella introduced herself and managed to carry on a conversation, although the blonde, Sharpay Evans, seemed quite able to carry on the conversation by herself.

Sharpay was a good singer too, and their voices blended together well. It seemed obvious that they would get on well. Sharpay told Gabriella who the blonde boy was—Troy Bolton. School superstar.

Gabriella hoped that she would see him at lunch.

You sit in class next to a blonde named Sharpay
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
Well be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And you're mommas waiting up and you think he's the one
And you're dancing round your room when the night end
When the night ends

It took a month for Gabriella to actually talk to Troy, and even then, all she said was 'hi'. He smiled back at her and shook her hand. Gabriella felt like melting into a pile of mush at his feet. A week later, he rang her up. Gabriella asked where he had gotten her number, and he had said that he had needed to bribe her friend, Taylor.

Gabriella swooned.

He asked her out to dinner. She, of course, said yes. Why wouldn't she? He had a car!

Coz when you're fifteen and somebody tell you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss makes your head spin round
but in your life you'll do greater than dating the boy on the basketball team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

As he kissed before she went home on their second date, he told her than he loved her. Gabriella could hardly breathe as she got out of the car to go home. She felt so happy. But as she walked in to the room, she saw Sharpay in a crumbled heap crying. She stuttered out what was wrong, that her boyfriend, Jonathon Levitt, had dumped her. But not before taking something.

Her virginity.

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Sharpay gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind
And we both cried

The next day at school, both Gabriella and Sharpay were broken-hearted. Troy and broken up with Gabriella for another girl, a more experienced senior. Gabriella was furious at herself for letting herself believe that he actually loved her.

Coz when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
Fifteen

Twenty-three year old Gabriella lay back in the arms of her boyfriend, putting away the photos they had been looking over of when she was fifteen. She had been so naive and young. So much had changed since then. An engagement ring glittered on her finger, and her fiancée, Zac Everwood, kissed her on the forehead.

But she had learnt from her mistakes, and that was what counted.

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la you're very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through those doors

Okay, so please review!!

And any other requests, just let me know, they do not need to be songfics, btw.
