AN: Hey everyone! This is my first Fanfic and it is a Troyella tale. Hopefully you like and I will keep on M for future purposes. Hope you enjoy!
Summary: Gabriella is a matchmaker at East High. If you have troubles finding your one true love, she's the girl to go to. So what happens when her best friend has started taking a liking to golden boy Troy Bolton? Being a good friend, Gabriella is entitled to set them together, her reputation and friendship on the line. Will this couple end in a matchmake in heaven?
Gabriella took one last check of herself in the mirror. Turning her head to check her hair, she nodded her head and threw her jacket over her shoulder.
"Gabriella, hurry up! First day back to school and you're going to be late!" her mother called up the stairs.
"Coming!" she replied, glancing at her room with a smile before closing the door behind her.
Gabriella quickly walked down the stairs, finding her mother and little sister at the kitchen table. Picking up an apple from the island, she popped it into her mouth as she put her jacket on. Taking a bite out of it, she slung her backpack strap onto her shoulder, heading out of the kitchen.
"Hold it!" Well, she was.
Her mother got up from her seat, walking towards her daughter. Gabriella turned her around so that she was facing her. Her mother was still a few inches taller than her, probably because she was wearing heels. Their deep brown hair were identical in shades and their eyes were the same chocolate brown.
"Mom, I'm going to be late! Sharpay's going to pick me up and-"
"I know, I know," her mother interrupted. "Are you going to be alright? I mean, I'm not going to be there to watch out for you since I've transferred to a new school."
Gabriella sighed and rolled her eyes, slouching her shoulders. "Mom, I've got it. I'm a big girl now, remember?"
Her mother chuckled. She kissed Gabriella on her forehead and turned around to go sit with her little sister, Maria.
"Oh, and I want you to stop with all this matchmaking business, alright? You have one year left to get into a good college so grades first and romance later," her mother called behind her.
"Yeah, right, Mom. Gabbie can't even get a boyfriend, she can only get one for other people," Maria mocked, sticking her tongue out at Gabriella.
Gabriella scoffed and rolled her eyes again. "Eat your cereal."
Maria hmph'ed and put a spoonful of Lucky Charms into her mouth.
Gabriella walked out of the kitchen and picked up her keys before slipping her shoes on and walking out the front door. Sharpay and Taylor were already parked outside and Sharpay was furiously honking her horn.
"GABRIELLA! HURRY UP!" Sharpay called.
"CALM DOWN, BLONDIE!" she screamed back, opening the door to the passenger seat and getting in.
Sharpay quickly pulled out and started driving, shocking Gabriella a bit but managed to fasten her seat belt. Taylor was sitting behind them but leaned forward so her head was in the little space between front seats.
"So, junior year. Goals?" Taylor asked the two girls.
Sharpay scoffed. "Of course I'm going to be in the winter, fall, AND spring musical. Ugh, but my brother's probably gonna be my romance interest."
Taylor and Gabriella giggled. "I'm going to focus on my grades so that means no more matchmaking anymore," Gabriella told the girls.
"WHAT? Why! You're like, amazing, no doubt. You can make anyone fall in love and I mean ANYONE," Taylor replied.
Gabriella sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I mean I'll give advice and stuff but I won't go full out like I used to anymore, alright?"
Taylor sighed. "Fine, but as long as we win the decathlon, then I'm perfectly okay with whatever you do."
Gabriella chuckled. "You're still going to join musicals though, right Gabriella? Because you know, every great production needs supporting characters to make the leads shine" Sharpay asked, not taking her eyes off the road but smiled widely at herself.
Gabriella smiled and rolled her eyes. Before she knew it, they were already at the school, parked in Sharpay's own parking spot. As they got out and walked towards the entrance, Gabriella took in her surroundings. Students laughing and talking, guys fooling around, and girls catching up. It was surely a high school scenario.
As the trio walked inside the school, they migrated towards their lockers that were conveniently placed next to each other's. Of course, Sharpay's had been pre-decorated which meant, rhinestones, feathers, and of course lots and lots of pink.
"So looks like we have Ms. Darbus for homeroom again," Taylor stated as all three punched in their locker combinations and emptied their backpacks inside of them.
"Joy," Gabriella said sarcastically. "Is it just me or does it feel like she's going to torture us 10 times more than in sophomore year?"
"It's just you," Sharpay said, primming and primping her hair and make-up in her locker mirror.
Taylor scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease. The only reason you like her is because you're her absolute favorite student."
Gabriella laughed. She was putting magnets and pictures inside her locker. She heard Sharpay gasped loudly beside her and startled, widening her eyes at her.
Sharpay held onto Gabriella's arm, squeezing it tightly. "Oh my god, PINCH ME! It's Troy Bolton!" she screamed.
"Wait, what?" Gabriella mumbled to herself, holding onto her locker door as she turned her head to where Sharpay was staring at, Taylor doing the same.
There he was, the Troy Bolton: basketball star and East High's own heartthrob. His glistening brown hair fell perfectly on his head, the way his eyes peeked out from behind his bangs was adorable. His aqua orbs would enter your body and make your whole body feel like a hot mess. His smile, oh his smile: it was gorgeous. His teeth were pearly white and perfectly aligned. The way his lips curled and the small laugh he did beforehand would send you off the edge.
As Troy walked down the halls, greeting everyone who talked to him, his two best friends, Chad and Zeke, walked alongside him. They both were on the basketball team as essential players although Zeke did spend as much time in the kitchen as on the court. Gabriella snapped back from her gazing as she heard Taylor scoff.
"Sharpay, are you freaking serious? He's just a typical playboy who egotistical and narcissistic, just like every other guy at this lame-ass school," Taylor said, rolling her eyes and turning around, putting her attention back to his locker.
Sharpay glared at Taylor, taking her eyes off of Troy for a moment. Gabriella did the same.
"Tay, you must be blind. He is drop-dead GORGEOUS! God, I'm just screaming 'Fuck me!' in my head," she retorted. Taylor fake vomited.
Sharpay glanced at Troy again, doing a double take. She squealed, shaking Gabriella's arm furiously.
"Ow, ow, OW! Sharpay, what the hell?" Gabriella exclaimed, pulling herself away from Sharpay's death grip and rubbing her arm.
"He's coming this way, OH MY GOD! How do I look? Hot? Hot. Good," Sharpay quickly said.
Gabriella inhaled sharply and turned around to see blue orbs looking down at her. "Sharpay, Taylor," Troy said, his voice melting Gabriella's insides. He nodded his head at both of them, sending Sharpay to go completely insane. Troy paused as he looked down at Gabriella, smiling at her. "Gabriella," he greeted, winking at her.
Gabriella jumped, a little startled at his gesture, but she kept her cool. "Troy," she greeted.
Chad put his hand on Troy's shoulder, looking at the girls. "So, you girls coming to the homecoming game? With Hoops here, we're going to definitely win. And there's gonna be a huge-ass party afterwards."
"We'll be there!" Sharpay quickly answered. Gabriella and Taylor slowly turned their heads to glare at her. "Heheh, Sharpay. Me and Gabriella have practice that day," Taylor said.
"Psh," Sharpay replied. "Just skip it. You'll have other practices," she shooed Taylor, putting her attention back to Troy.
"We can't just skip, it's a mandatory pra-!" Taylor tried to argue, but Gabriella pinched her, making her shut up.
"Of course we can go. We wouldn't want to leave our best friend alone now, would we?" she said, making it super obvious to Taylor. Taylor sighed but decided to just listen to Gabriella. There was no use going against Sharpay once her mind is set on something.
"Great, we'll see you there," Zeke said. He high-fived Chad as they walked away with Troy, without taking a couple glances at the girls.
Once the boys were out of earshot, Sharpay practically screamed. "Gabriella, you HAVE to set me up with him. He is my fucking soulmate for God's sake!"
Gabriella widened her eyes. Wait, did she just say what I think she said? "Sharpay, were you NOT listening to me in the car? No more matchmaking for me! No, none, NADA! Got it?" she said very loudly and clearly.
Sharpay frowned. "Come on! Please. It'll be your last matchmaking. I won't let you join the musical. I'll.. pay you! Come on, it's Sharpay - one of your best friends here! It's only one tiny favor. Besides, I've done a lot for you!" she pleaded.
"Actually-," Gabriella started but Sharpay stopped her to glare at her. Gabriella sighed and turned to look at Taylor who just shrugged. "Why not?" Taylor said.
Gabriella turned to look at Sharpay and bit her lip. She heavily sighed and slowly nodded her head. "Alright, fine. But you'll listen to exactly EVERYTHING I say and OBEY ME, got it?" she instructed. Sharpay nodded her head like a puppy dog.
Sharpay closed her locker and grabbed Gabriella in a huge bear hug. Gabriella grunted but managed to close her locker as the bell rung, walking to homeroom with Taylor giggling behind them.
AN: Okay, that's the first chapter! I hope you liked it. Don't worry, I'll make a chapter for how Gabriella got started in the matchmaking business and all that. Still unknown if I'll write in Troy's perspective (well, I kind of have to), but we'll see where we go. Don't forget to review! xoxo
