23 year old Gabriella Montez has her dream come true after her boss promotes her. She moves in with cocky and handsome 24 year old NBA star Troy Bolton. What can go wrong there?...Everything...or atleast until new feelings are developed...
Chapter 1: Big dreams, celebrities out of control
23 year old Gabriella Montez sighed as she slowly walked down the hallway to her boss's office. About a minute ago she had been told by her boss's assistant Jaime, that she wanted to see her. Gabriella started panicking. What if she got moved to a lower category? Had she done something wrong to make her boss mad at her? Was she being fired? She took a deep breath once she stood outside her boss's office door and slowly knocked on the door before turning the handle and opening it with a million questions running through her mind. Gabriella walked into the office and saw her boss furiously typing at her computer. She cleared her throat making her boss Samara jump a little.
"Gabriella," Samara smiled, "Come in, sit down."
Gabriella sat on one of the leather chairs on the other side of the desk. "Jamie told me you wanted to see me immediately. Is anything wrong? Have I done anything to upset you? Are you-"
Gabriella was cut off by Samara, "Gabriella, you're not going to get fired or anything like that." She sighed in relief and looked down at her fiddling hands blushing. "As a matter of fact, quite the opposite." Gabriella frowned and looked up at her boss confused. "I have decided to promote you due to all your hard work, and will be giving you the chance to become the head editor for the fashion section of our magazine, Vouge. You will have to go to our Los Angeles headquarters (A/N I don't know what their offices are called so I'm just calling it headquarters) for 6 months as head editor of the fashion section. After 6 months it will be decided whether you can stay as head editor permanently, or if it just isn't your calling."
Gabriella bit her lip to stop a girlish squeal from escaping her mouth, "Oh my gosh, are you serious? I-I mean thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me! I've dreamed of this moment my whole life! Thank you so much."
"You deserve it," Samara smiled, "You will have to leave next week for your flight. I have already arranged for your tickets and flight, however you'll have to find somewhere to stay for 6 months."
Gabriella stood up and smiled, "Thank you again, this means so much to me. I won't disappoint you."
"Good, now if you will excuse me, i have a meeting to attend." Samara said before grabbing her suitcase and walking out of her office.
Gabriella finally let out that girlish squeal that she had been keeping in for 5 minutes and jumped in happiness. She was going in for one hell of a ride.
24 year old Troy Bolton groaned as he rubbed his left temple and squeezed his eyes shut. He had gone to a party the night before and had gotten drunk just half an hour after he arrived at the party. He had no memory of the night before and couldn't remember what he had done, or who he had done. Troy rubbed his eyes and read the time on his clock on his bedside table, 9:26, great he was late for basketball practice. He dropped his head back on his pillow and groaned again. His head was pounding and he felt like someone was smashing his head against a rock. A large one too.
"Yo hoops," Came the voice of his bushy haired best friend Chad Danforth, "Time to get up, got you some coffee and a bagel to wash away some of that hangover from last night. Oh and also, I got something you might want to see."
"See what?" Troy asked while blinking and trying to adjust his eyes to the light in the room
"Go have a shower and clean up then I'll show you," Chad said as he gave him a glass of water.
Troy rolled his eyes, "Fine."
He walked to his bathroom, stripped out of his clothes and stepped into the shower and opened the water, letting it fall down his naked body. 10 minutes later he got out of the shower feeling much better and wrapped a towel around his waist. Running a hand through his damp wet hair he walked to his wardrobe and took out a pair of clean boxers, red basketball shorts and a white Nike t-shirt. After getting changed, he walked down the stairs of his house and went to the kitchen where Chad was sitting on a stool reading a magazine.
"Feeling better?" Chad asked.
"Much." Troy smiled while taking a sip of his coffee. "So what was it that you wanted to show me earlier?"
"This," Chad said, throwing the magazine he was reading earlier to Troy who frowned.
"What do you want me to do to this?" Troy asks gesturing to the magazine.
"Read it. The cover page."
Troy looked at the cover page of the magazine and inwardly groaned. There was a big photo of him drinking alcohol with a blond haired girl and a ginger haired girl on either side of him and on top of the photo was written 'Bolton getting out of control?', This was probably the millionth time there was a headline like that on a magazine about him but he didn't care as long as he had his 'fun'. "I have to admit, those two girls were quite good company," Troy smirked as he remembered his activities at the party the night before.
Chad shook his head, "Dude you should be practising for our playoffs against the Celtics this season, not getting drunk with random girls and missing practice. Speaking of which, coach wasn't too happy when you missed practice today."
Troy rolled his eyes, "Chad you know I'll be more than ready for the playoffs this season and ill just shoot some hoops out at the back later on to make up for practice."
"Whatever, you just stick to your game for playoffs and I'm gonna be off your back."
"Oh don't worry; I won't just be sticking to one game."
"Dude, that's disgusting."
