Chapter 1 - I have always loved you

My name is Gabriella Montez and I am sixteen years old. I live with my mom, she is the best mom anyone could ask for, and she will do anything for me.

I have two of the best friends I could ever want, I have known Troy my whole life, our moms became friends when they met in the hospital. They are still friends today, Troy and mine's birthday is like a week apart so we used to have a big party together.

Then there is Taylor who I have known since I was four, we met on the first day of pre-school and we have been friends ever since. It has always been me, Troy and Taylor then when I was fourteen, two new people arrived, Sharpay and Ryan Evans. They had blonde hair and dreams of being famous. After a couple of months I started to date Ryan, I still am today.

I walked downstairs and saw my mom making breakfast. I sat down at the table, my house is beautiful, elegant and homing, like any home is. My mom gave me some breakfast and said ''there you go, baby doll. Oh here your money for your school trip''.

I smiled as my mom gave me the money. My mom looks a lot like me; she has the same facial expressions, the same dark skin color and brown curly hair. I ate my breakfast, hugged my mom and left the house. I saw Ryan standing outside and I kissed him.

Ryan looked at me, smiled and told me ''you look really pretty''. I smiled grabbed hold of his hand and walked to school. My school is like any other school, the same kind of people, the same kind of teachers and the same friends that you go to school to see. There is a beautiful fountain outside my school; it is special because it is where I had my first kiss with Ryan.

I walked into homeroom and saw Taylor and Troy. Troy is the most amazing friend I have ever known, he has the bluest eyes I have ever seen and his floppy sandy hair makes him the catch with all the ladies. But he never dates any of them; he has a careful heart like me.

I sat down next to Troy and asked ''did you watch the new episode of heroes?''. Troy smiled, opened his book and told me ''yeah, it was amazing, like it always is''. I smiled; saw Ryan and Sharpay walk in followed by Ms Darbus.

Ms Darbus is the kind of a mad teacher; she loves her job and believes in everyone, including me. She says I have a beautiful singing voice but I don't. Ryan walked over to me and said ''I will meet you at free period''.

I smiled and watched Ryan walk away. Troy looked at me and asked ''so everything is ok in lovers paradise?''. I smiled at Troy and nodded my head.

Troy smiled at me, I love the way Troy smiles, it makes me feel happy. Taylor looked over to me and said ''have you done your homework, Gab''. I smiled and nodded my head.

I walked into the hall, saw Ryan standing by my locker and I asked ''why are you always out before me?''. I stood by my locker; Ryan put his arm on my locker and kissed me. Ryan looked at me and said ''so I can do that''.

I smiled and kissed him. Troy and Taylor walked out the lesson and Troy said ''I will catch you later, Brie-Brie''. I smiled as they walked off. I got my books out my locked, put them in my bag and grabbed hold of Ryan hand.

The end of the day finally came. I was walking home with Ryan. We sat on the couch watching TV. We were watching an interview and Ryan said ''that could be me one day, well I would be in the back while Sharpay is talking''.

I laughed, Ryan put his around me and I kissed him. A couple of hours flew by and Ryan had to leave. I walked upstairs to my bedroom; my bedroom is green with a huge double bed and little signs saying things like peace hope and love.

I laid down on my bed and heard tapping on my window. I looked outside and saw Troy standing on my balcony. I let him in and he said ''I called round earlier but you were with Ryan''.

I smiled and heard him say under his breath ''like you always are''. I looked at him confused and asked ''what's the matter Troy?''. Troy walked away, turned around and he told me ''it doesn't matter''.

I looked at him, walked over to him and I said ''it does''. Troy put his hand on my face, grabbed hold my hand and he told me ''I am in love with you Brie, I always have been but I never told you. Tay said I should''.

He took his hand away from my face, walked out the door and climbed down a tree. I looked at him walking away, why did he have to tell me. He doesn't love me; I am his friend, nothing else.
