"Come on Gabriella we're going to be late for school" Taylor McKessie yelled to her best friend upstairs. "I'm coming Taylor geesh" Gabriella said coming down the stairs. Today was their first day at East High.

They walked into East High with all eyes on them, but they didn't care. Gabriella was known as the tough, sexy, hot girl who was always in trouble and Taylor was just the same but not in that much trouble as Gabriella. She then bumped into somebody.

"Watch were you're-" She stopped when that person picked up his face, his crystal blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair. He was known as the bad, sexy boy that always got in trouble. "I apologize" He said to her and smiled.

Gabriella's POV

"Um... It's cool I'm Gabriella"

"Troy"

"Well I guess being here won't be so bad" I winked at him before going to Taylor and walking to the principal's office not before turning around and smiling at him.

We walked to the principals office and got our schedule. we both had 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th together. They walked around looking for their first class. They walked into a classroom hoping it was the right one. "Are you Mrs. Darbus" Gabriella asked politely."Yes you must be our new students... welcome to East High. When she said that everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at her. "Well tell us about yourselves. Taylor looked at Gabi who shrugged her shoulders while popping her gum looking at Troy who was just smiling at her.

"Okay I'm Taylor McKessie I'm from NY I can fight, sing, dance, and cheer. Don't like fake people, which I can see a lot in this class, girls. I never give up on a lot of things and that's it. I've been in trouble with the police so can't get that much trouble any longer."

"Well very interesting you can sit next to Mr. Danforth in the back. And now your turn" She said pointing at me.

"Well I'm Gabriella Montez, yes the daughter of a Mob Mark Montez and Aria Montez, don't ask a lot of questions about my family. I can fight, sing, dance I was the cheer-captain at my old school. I've been in the worse trouble ever, Juvie for a month when I was 16; um I've been in court for breaking and entering. And just like my best friend said I don't like fake people, which from I can see is most of you blondes here, except you" I said pointing at a dirty blonde filing her nails and on her phone then smiling at me.

"Well that was as well as interesting you can sit in front of Mr. Bolton." said pointing at Troy, who was smiling like crazy. I said in the desk and looked at Troy and winked. While Ms. Darbus was teaching everybody was doing something else.

"We meet again, sexy" Troy whispered in my ear. I smirked at him. "I know handsome, so what's it like at EH" I asked him turning around. Just then the bell rung and I gathered my stuff and walked out with Troy waiting on Taylor. "Taylor this is Troy, Troy this is my best friend Taylor."

"Hi"

"Hey" He said just as a fluffy headed boy came and wrapped his arm around Troy's neck. "Guys this is my luckheaded friend Chad, Chad this is Gabriella and I guess you already know Taylor."

"So what's you guys next class" Chad asked

"Mine's Algebra II" Gabriella said looking over her schedule which was taken by Troy. "Good you're with me" Troy said pulling her to the class. "Ms. Henderson this is our new student Gabriella, I was wondering if she could sit next to me since I'm the only person she knows here"'

"I guess Mr. Bolton now please take your seat." I was just astonished on how the teacher said yes.

Our classes went by very fast and it was now lunch. Taylor and I got our lunch and looked around where to sit. I then saw Troy wave at us to come sit with them, so I sat next to Troy and Taylor sat next to chad. Just than the blonde that I had pointed to this morning sat between me and Taylor.

"I'm Sharpay I really like you guys you're the type of tough girls we need at this school" She told us. I laughed and we thanked her. "Gabi, Tay this is Zeke, Jason and Sharpay's twin brother Ryan. We waved at them. I was just staring at Chad.

"Dude do they not feed you at home" I laughed at Chad who was just stuffing his mouth with lasagna. Just then a blonde came to the table and literally pushed me.

"Excuse you" I told the blonde, she looked me up and down and gave me a disgusting look. "You're excused" she said and sat down in my seat. I laughed standing up in front of her.

"Is something funny" she asked standing up. I nodded

"Yep first off you and second the fact that you can control me" She folded her arms "Do you know who you're talking too?

"Actually I do a blonde bimbo" I said smirking as everybody at the table laughed. But before she could say something Troy stood up.

"Okay Jasmine what did you want" He asked her while holding my waist behind him; she glared at me then turned toward Troy. "I need some money to go to the mall after school" She asked with her hand out. I turned back around to the table and glared at Taylor who was looking at her with disgust causing me to laugh a little.

"Go ask dad" Troy said turning to eat his sandwich. "I did he said he didn't have any he would pay you back. Please. Troy sighed, reached in his pocket and gave her 40 dollars.

"Thanks Troy" Jasmine said and walked away. "Well that was very…awkward" Jason said and everybody looked at him then me.

"What a nice sister you have Troy" I told him sarcastically eating my salad

"What" I asked glaring at all of them. They just shrugged their shoulders. When lunch was over I went to the rest of my classes which were boring but I managed. After school was finished I was waiting by my car for Taylor to come. Troy then walked up to me. "What was that in the cafeteria" He asked me. I sighed and looked at him.

"Look I'm sorry I didn't know that that was your sister, but I don't let anyone control who I am or what I should do"

"I'm sorry too on her behalf I know she can be very-"

"Bitchy" I interrupted making Troy laugh. Taylor came out and winked at me then got into the car.

"Just promise to try to like her" Troy pleaded. I looked at him and rolled my eyes.

"I'll try"

"Good let's exchange numbers" Troy said taking out his phone. We exchanged numbers and I got in the car and drove off.

"So what's up with you and Troy boy" Taylor asked putting her ray bans on her face. I laughed at her

"I don't know we'll see how we are about a month" I told her truthfully stopping at a red light, putting on my ray bans. We decided to go to the mall since there was nothing else to do. We walked around the mall going in different stores. Looking around we went into Body Central, Hot Topic, and Spencer's.

"So what how was sitting next to Chad, he looks cocky." I asked her as we sat down in the food court eating ice cream. "Oh he is VERY, but he's cool you know I kind of like him" Taylor said sitting back a bit and giggled.

"Ooo Taylor and Chad you guys make a cute couple" I told her smiling at her she laughed at how I was looking at her

"Whatever"

No one's POV

Gabriella and Taylor left the mall and went home. Their mom was gone on a business trip and dad was well rather not say.

"How about we-" Gabriella was about to suggest but was cut off from her cell phone.

"Hello"

Hey sexy

Hi

So what you doing

Actually trying to figure out what Taylor and I could do.

How about the rest of us come to your house

Umm. I guess so yeah

Do you guys have a pool?

Yeah why

That's probably what we're going to be doing

Gabriella explained where they lived to the gang which was really hard the Chad but he managed. She saw a pink car pull up first, and instantly knew it was Sharpay next were two Bugatti's and then a Lamborghini.

"Wow this house is huge" Zeke said walking into the house with Jason. "So we're all here now what" Jason asked sitting on the white sofa looking around the living room. "Let's start off with the pool" Chad said slapping hands with Troy who was standing with his arm around Gabriella's neck pulling her close to him.

"Fine we'll get dressed in my room you boys figure out your situation" Taylor said pulling Gabriella from Troy and Sharpay from Zeke. "Wait I don't have a bikini" Sharpay said walking into Taylor's room behind them. Taylor pulled out a bikini from her drawer while Gabriella went to get hers from her room. Once they were dressed they got their towels and some for the boys then walked toward the back door.

The boys were already in the pool messing around waiting for the girls. "Dude I swear if I don't get with Taylor I just might burst." Chad said floating in the pool upwards. "I feel the same way with Gabi she's just so tempting" Troy said drinking his bottle of water sitting by the pool, which quickly went dry when he saw his soon to be girl come out. As for Chad drowned but then came back up quickly. They were both admiring the girls they didn't know the girls were looking at them like they were weird. They shook their heads and went to the girls. Chad ran up to Taylor and picked her up.

"Chad I swear…. Please don't-" She couldn't finish before throwing her in the pool. He laughed then jumped in the pool. Troy just went over to Gabriella since she was the last one left. Sharpay went to Zeke.

"What do you want handsome" Gabriella said looking Troy in his blue orbs. He flashed his famous smile and sat next to her. 'Oh nothing just wondering when I can take you on a date' Gabriella smiled and blushed looking in her lap.

Gabriella's POV

"Look Troy I really want to get to know you first, so give it a month and we'll see how everything goes okay" I told him intertwining our hands together. He nodded his head and I kissed his cheek. He stood up and was about to walk away before giving me a grin. Next thing I knew I was in the water soaking wet from head to toe. Troy jumped in the water with us and just laughed, I then came up with something. I went underwater swimming to Troy pulling down his swim trunks a little. He turned around quickly and looked down. I arose from the water and smiled at him.

No one's POV

They played in the pool for a little while longer until it was near dark then they had to get out. They all walked in the house to get dried. So they each took a shower and threw their clothes back on.

"Okay now what" Sharpay asked sitting in Zeke's lap on the couch.

"Well we all don't know a lot about you, Gabriella, so share every little detail."

"Okay I'll go first I'm 17, 18 on December 24 I have an older sister and brother and um… a little brother. My sister was kicked out of the house when she was 15 because she was pregnant. I haven't heard from her since then, my brother is stationed overseas has been for about 2 years. My little brother was 1 when my parents died I was 12 and we were both sent to the foster care, but before Taylor's mom came to get us a family wanted to adopt him. I tried my hardest to keep them from getting him, but they did. I used to cry myself to sleep because he was the only blood family I had left. As of right now I know they live in NY and are very wealthy." Gabriella said on the verge of tears but they wouldn't come. Sharpay hugged her from the side and smiled a little.

"Do you ever think of what your life would be like if your brother never got adopted by that family' Chad asked her and she nodded her head leaning on Taylor.

"Okay how about something else this is too sad" Sharpay said

After hours of just talking, laughing and getting to know each other, it was already around 9 o'clock. Once everybody left the house Taylor and Gabriella ordered pizza and went to take another shower.
