Chapter One- A Familiar Face and Name
I looked out the window, and my eyes grew wide.
We are high.
I took another look down, but then time turned around and clutched on to the guy beside me.
"Sorry," I said meekly, letting go of him.
"You okay?" he asked me.
"Never been better," I mumbled.
"Just take a deep breath," he instructed.
I took a deep breath, but before I knew what I was doing, my mouth was open and was blabbing anything that went through my mind.
". . . I'm twenty-six years old. I've never married. My life is a complete joke. I owe my dad a few thousand dollars. My step-mother treats me really nice, but sometimes a little too nice. My cousin from my mom's side, Gina, she boasts way to much, and everyone loves her except me. She makes me feel like a nobody."
"That's not true," the guy said.
"It's true, alright. Hillary got this really nice desk, and gave me this crappy small one. Ugh, I so hate her. She bosses me around like I'm a little kid!...Just like Gina."
". . . My friend, Maggie and I have this secret code, 'Can I check something over with you?' but we always just go out and head over to Starbucks, since the coffee totally sucks. Anyways, we go to Starbucks then talk about gossip for about twenty minutes or so."
". . . My flatmate never does the laundry so I always end up doing it, and it's so annoying."
". . . Throughout high school, I faked being smart on math, I couldn't help it."
". . . My high school sweet heart broke up with me cause of some stupid reason, he's such an idiot."
". . .always have a glass of sweet sherry before a date."
". . .My boyfriend, Tyler. He's really sweet, sometimes a little bit too much. He kinda looks like Ken, Barbie's husband or whatever."
". . . He thinks I like classical music, but classical music bores me out."
a/n: There will be other secrets throughout the story that won't be here.
Ten minutes later, I have nothing left to say.
"Sorry," I say sheepishly.
"It's alright," he nods with a smile.
Few days later, I sit at my desk at work.
After I sit there and stare at my computer screen in boredom, I finally get out of my seat, and get a cup of coffee.
At least it'll waste my time.
I head over to the entrance of the department where the coffee machine is.
As I'm getting my cup of coffee, Richard, the department manager starts to hiss at everyone to get back to their office.
Strange.
"Everyone," Richard says, and I turn around, and my eyes widen.
Shit.
It's the guy from the plane.
Oh my freakin' god.
"I'm thrilled to introduce you to the founder of the company...Troy Bolton."
I freeze.
Excuse me, can you repeat that?
I lean over to Hillary, "Who's he?"
"Troy Bolton. Isn't he just the hottest guy on earth?" Hillary gushes.
This cannot be happening.
I walk over to my desk quickly, avoiding Richard and Paul, then shrink into my seat, my cup of coffee on my desk.
"He's coming!" Hillary hisses, and our end of the office stiffens.
I bit my lip, and sit up straight.
Maybe he won't recongize me, yeah. Probably not from high school. But from the plane? Hope for the----
Aw man. He's looking at me, I see a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he rasies his eyebrow.
He slowly walks toward me with Richard in tow.
"And who would this be?" he asks politely to Richard.
"This is Gabriella Montez," Richard begins.
I see Troy's eyes widen with shock, and I shrink into my seat.
". . . one of our junior marketing assistants."
Troy nods.
"Hello."
"Hello, Tr-Mr. Bolton," I say meekly.
He gives me a smile, and glances at my cup, "How's the coffee?"
"Great. The best I've even tasted!"
He grins, then went on to Hillary's office
I grab a stack of folders and hit my head with it as soon as Richard starts talking about Hillary.
Both men turn to look at me, Richard's glaring, and Troy has an amused look on him face.
I give them a 'sorry' smile, and pretend to read my stacks of paper.
As soon as Troy had left the room, chatters broke out.
I let out a sigh of relief, but then Richard appears at my desk.
"Mr. Bolton wants to see you in his office."
He has a office? I didn't know that, considering I've never seen him for the past two years.
I clutch on to the sheets of paper so hard, my nails digging through the paper.
"Now?" I squeak.
"Yes, now, Gabriella," Richard says with annoyance.
"Where is his office?"
Richard continued to answer my question with frustration.
The guy by his office lets me in.
As I walk into the room, Troy's writing something on a sheet of paper.
"Hi, can you close the door, and take a seat," he instructs.
I sit in one of the two chairs in front of his desk.
"Few things," he says, "One, I would prefer that you won't tell anyone I had been in London last week."
"Okay," I say after a pause.
"You haven't told anyone, right?" he says suspiciously.
"No."
I didn't even know he went to London, excuse-a-moi.
"Second thing, about high school..." Troy trails off.
I look up at him, "You're not an idiot," I say quickly, remembering what I had told him on the plane.
He chuckles, "No hard feelings?"
"No hard feel---"
I was cut off by someone bursting into the room.
"Tr---" the guy starts, then says slowly, "Gabriella."
"Hi," I said looking on the ground.
"Um, I'll leave you two alone," the guy says slowly walking back towards the door.
"No," I say quickly, getting up, "I'll go. We were just about finished."
He looks at Troy.
"Well it was nice seeing you again, Chad," I say with a small smile.
As I walk out of the room, I can hear Chad whispering to Troy.
As I close the door, I lean against it, that is until the door guarder starts to stare.
