Great job, Gabriella! Once again you embarrassed yourself in front of Troy! You'll never learn how to act around him! You are so dumb! Oh, I'm sorry! I just got one of my very embarrassing moments around Troy Bolton… my all time big crush! Before I forget, my name is Gabriella Montez; I'm a girl (surprise, right?)… Well, I'm 16 years old, and I am madly in love with this guy, Troy Bolton, problems? Huh! A lot, and way too many! This is my life… and I'll try to let you know, how things work out… Everything would just be a little easier if I could get Troy, but the biggest problem… or one of the biggest problems… he is my best friend's older brother!
Well, I'm just an ordinary girl, or I guess I am… I live in Denmark, more detailed Copenhagen – the capital of Denmark. At the moment I'm sitting at a blanket in my best friend's backyard. My best friend is Sharpay Evans. And I'm crushing big time on her older brother Troy Bolton. Yeah, they have different last names, that's because Troy isn't Sharpay real brother. Troy's dad and Sharpay's mom just found each other, and then they moved in together – so Troy and Sharpay aren't really siblings, but they look at each other as siblings.
But as I said right now I'm sitting at a blanket in my best friend's backyard, I met Sharpay 8 years ago…
Flashback
It was Tuesday the 10th of July 2001 – I was 9 years old – it was around 11 am, I was in my room drawing some stupid picture, when the doorbell rang, I didn't think much over it, 'cause my mom could answer the door, but then I heard my name mentioned, and then I got curious, so I walked out my room and to the door. I look slightly confused; a man was standing in the door, with a little girl. The girl had blond hair, I hadn't seen her before. Who were they?
"Hey, you must be Gabriella, right?" the man suddenly smiled at me.
"Uh, yeah," I said nervous.
"I'm Jack, and this is my daughter Sharpay," the man smiled.
I nodded and smiled at the girl, who stood shy behind the man, but let her head out, so that I could see her, she smiled back at me.
"Could you two girls play together, and then come to our place around 3 pm for birthday for Troy, Sharpay's older brother?" Jack said more to my mom than to me.
"Yeah, of course they can," my mom smiled.
"Okay, Sharpay, just go in there and play with Gabriella, and then come back home with Gabriella around 3 pm, alright?" the man smiled at the little blond girl.
The blond girl nodded and walked into me in the hall, "I'll see you later Jack," the girl smiled as Jack walked down the driveway.
Why was she calling him "Jack", and not dad or daddy, like I did with my dad? I was confused.
"Uh, well, this way," I said nervously and leaded Sharpay to my yellow room, where my drawing was on the desk and some other stuff was just thrown at the floor.
"Nice room," the blond girl smiled nervously.
I nodded, "thanks. So, where are you from? I haven't seen you here before," I asked, maybe a little too harsh, but Sharpay smiled at me.
"I'm from a little town outside Copenhagen, I just moved her with my mom and Jack," the girl smiled.
There it was again… "Jack"… I nodded, "okay… why do you call him by his name and not "dad"?" I asked.
"Well, he's not my dad… he's my mom's boyfriend. My parents got divorced a few years ago," she smiled happily.
"So where is your dad?" I asked a little confused.
"Right now, I don't know…" the girl sighed and looked down.
I looked at her, she didn't know, where her dad was?! "But…"
She shook her head, "I haven't seen him in awhile," she sighed and smiled up at me, "but I'm fine, I live with my mom, Jack and Troy."
I smiled, "Troy?"
She nodded, "yeah, Troy, he's my older brother, or well, he's not, he's Jack's son, but I see Troy as my older brother, and he sees me as his little sister."
I nodded, "okay… how old are you anyway?"
"8, what about you?" she smiled.
"9; and what about Troy, how old is he?"
"He is turning 10 today actually, that's why you and I are going to my place around 3 pm," the little blond girl smiled.
I nodded, "Okay… so what do you want to do?" I asked hoping that she had an idea.
A few hours later it was nearly 3 pm and my mom sent Sharpay and me out of the door heading for Sharpay's house.
As we entered the door, he was standing there… Troy Bolton… Sharpay's older brother.
"Hi," he smiled shyly.
"Hi," I smiled even more shyly, damn, he was cute!
"Troy, this is Gabriella," Sharpay pointed to me, and I shook Troy's hand.
"Kids, the juice and the cake are ready," Sharpay's mom called from the living room.
We walked in and sat down and ate and talked for a while. Every now and then I glanced over at Troy, and I noticed that he was glancing back at me… oh, how those beautiful electric blue eyes made me want to look at him for even longer.
End of flashback
"Gabriella?" Sharpay waved her hand in front of me.
"Huh?" I snapped out of thinking of the day I met Troy for the first time.
"What's wrong?" my best friend from ever since I met her asked me.
"Nothing," I sighed, "I'm just a little freaked out… again…"
"Because you practically fell for my brother?" she teased.
Yeah, I fell for her brother! We were playing soccer in the backyard, and then he accidently tripped me, so that I ended in the grass, with him on the top of me! Great job! Really great job! Not!
"I did not fall for him!" I exclaimed, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing, "I tripped over the god damn ball!"
Sharpay giggled, "Whatever you say, girl!"
I glared at her, "I did not fall for him, Shar!"
Sharpay shrugged, "no, you didn't do that today, you did it 8 years ago, at his 10 years-birthday," she giggled.
I rolled my eyes, yeah, she was right, I have always been crushing big time on Troy, from the moment I saw him standing there in the door at his 10 years-birthday until now, a few days after his 17 years-birthday.
"Whatever," I sighed and stood up from the blanket we were lying at in the backyard after playing soccer with Troy, who had just left for taking a shower and then headed off to work.
"Where are you going?" Sharpay smiled as she followed me.
"To take some water," I smiled at my best friend.
"Do you want soda instead?" she smiled at me.
"Well, that depends on…"
"We have Coca-cola," Sharpay giggled, "you know that's all Troy ever drink, when he isn't drinking water or milk," she smiled at me.
"I know," I blushed a little looking away.
She pulled out two Coca-colas from the fridge and then we made our way out to the backyard again.
"So you never got over Troy?" Sharpay smirked.
"What?!" I exclaimed as we sat down.
"You are still in love with him, right?" she smiled at me.
"Shar, he is still hot, but in love… I don't know," I sighed, "it's not like anything is ever going to happen between us, he never really liked me."
I looked away, trying to hide the fact that it actually hurt me, that he never really liked me. We could talk, and he was greeting me, when we met each other downtown and such, but there wasn't anything else in it, and there wouldn't be anything else in it…
"But you like him…" Sharpay started.
I sighed deeply, "Shar, please, stop."
Sharpay nodded, in some way she was glad that Troy didn't like Gabriella as more than a friend, or what he would call her, but then again… it actually hurt her to see the face of her best friend, when they talked about it.
A few hours later, I was at home in my room, sitting at my laptop just listening to some music and chatting with my best male friend, Chad Danforth. I sighed as I saw my screen-name which Sharpay had changed.
The Champ, Chad: Hey Gabs q:
Gabriella is in love – Sharpay: Hey Chad (:
The Champ, Chad: What's up with the name? ;p
I changed my name with a sigh.
Just Gabriella: It was Shar..
The Champ, Chad: But are you in love? (:
I sighed, why couldn't people just let it go?!
Just Gabriella: Chad, I'm not in the mood of talking about it. /: sorry…
The Champ, Chad: Oh, I know, what's wrong… Troy, right?
I sighed deeply again, "he knows me too well," I muttered to myself before answering.
Just Gabriella: Yeah :/ but could we please change the subject, I don't really feel like talking about him right now…
The Champ, Chad: Yeah, sure d: what's up, little sis? (;
Chad had been my best friend pretty much since I met him for the first time at some kind of camp, where we were playing handball all week. You know, a sport, where you are two teams on one court, there's 7 players at each team, and then you play around with the ball and then the team, which have the most goals in the end of the match is the winner, it's simple. Well, to me. Well, Chad and I met at this camp, and at once we had a connection, and ever since we've been friends. Chad is 16 just like me; he's great friend, or the best friend I have ever had! He is like the brother I never had; he is the one, who just knows how to make me feel better no matter what! And his parents and his sister; gosh, they are the best! I just simply love to be at their place!
Just Gabriella: Well, the ceiling was up last time I checked ;)
The Champ, Chad: lol d: yeah, same here, I guess d: so what are you doing? {:
Just Gabriella: I'm just listening to some music and thinking about going to bed. (: what about you? [:
The Champ, Chad: I'm not really doing anything d: just chatting with you q:
Just Gabriella: Right d: lol
The Champ, Chad: Well, I'll see ya' around, little sis :p I gotta go help sis with something :p
And with that he was signed out, and I sighed and signed out too, and went to the bathroom to change into my pajamas, or well, the pair of shorts and the T-shirt I use as pajamas. I looked into the mirror.
"Gosh, Gabriella, you are stupid enough to keep thinking about him! He's not into you anyway! Just forget about him!" the voice inside my head kept telling me that, but I wouldn't listen to it.
I sighed deeply and went into my room and sat laid down at the bed and listened to the music. I looked at my phone, it was already 11 pm, maybe I should just try to go to sleep, and then hope that everything would be better tomorrow. I sighed deeply again and closed my eyes and listened to the music… my laptop was once again playing "Eh eh (nothing else I can say)" by Lady Gaga… I slowly started to sing along.

I sighed, the beginning of the song reminded me so much of my ex… Mike… I broke up with him… we had a real good time, it just didn't work out, and I really wish him the best on his way further without me… Yeah, now you are probably thinking, but you were crushing on Troy for 6 years, but you have an ex called Mike? Confused? – Well, let me explain;
I have been crushing on Troy for those 8 years, but it has been on/off. I have had my times, where I wasn't really crushing on him… I don't know if you understand, it's kind of hard to explain, I guess you have to experience it to understand… But I have had a few boyfriends…
First: Matthew; who broke my heart after a month. He had cheated on me all the time, it hurt me. Matthew was two years older than me, he was 15 back then, and I was only 13… I was completely in love with him… or no, I wasn't in love with him, I was just fascinated by him… and he used me. It took a while to get over him.
Second: Benjamin; I was with him for almost two years… from I was 13½ until I was 15… I loved him, and he loved me… or so I thought. But just like Matthew, he was cheating on me, but only worse, because we were together for this long. I was stupid enough to forgive Benjamin every time… and now, I don't really know why! Well, I loved him, but he hurt me like hell…and then, one day, when we got into an argument, he raised his hand and hit me… and then it was over between us… and I was all broken for a year…
When Troy heard about the things that Benjamin had done, he was like "what?! He hit you!?" and then I told him, that Benjamin had hit me, but he had also cheated on me. And for the first time in the (at the time) 6 years I had known Troy, he was looking caring at me. But he got the whole story about Benjamin and me from his girlfriend at that time… and then when we were at their place for some dinner thing, one of his friends looked at me and asked if I still was dating Benjamin, and then I just shook my head and looked down. And Troy looked worried at me and then looked at his friend.
"He was stupid enough to cheat on her…" Troy sighed and looked over at me, and I just nodded telling him, that it was okay, that he told him.
But then after the year I was down because of Benjamin, I met Mike… well, I had met him before… actually a few years before, and we got pretty good friends, but then I started to get feelings for him, and so did he to me, and we decided to give it a try. But it didn't work, so we broke up… I was crying for a long time, and it was hard to move on, but now I have moved on, and I'm here now, even more madly in love with Troy than I was before Mike.
Well, I sighed deeply again as my laptop started playing "You can't break a broken heart". In some way my heart was broken, because I couldn't get Troy… so no one could actually break my heart, right? I looked at my laptop and stopped the music and closed down the laptop. I should really get some sleep now, even though its summer break and I don't have to do anything else than go to work at 5 pm… I sighed deeply,
"Gabriella, go to bed!" the voice inside my head told me. It was right, I should go to bed. I sighed once again deeply and lay down on my bed and closed my eyes, slowly drifting away into sleep.
Now you know me… this will be my story of my life, will I get Troy? Or will I forever stay madly in love with him, but never get him? Follow me, and find out…
