Her eyes slowly opened and she quickly shut them again 'what the… ughhh' she thought as she threw a pillow over her head. The bright sun was blinding her when she opened her eyes. She heard her mom and dad moving around the kitchen. She looked at the clock. 9:45 A.M. Gabriella shook her head and tried to go back to sleep when she heard her name being called.

"Gabriella, Sweetheart, get up we have to go to the store and I have a hair appointment we have to go to first! We're leaving at 9:50 so get your butt up!" Gabriella sighed

"Im not going mom, go without me!" Gabriella said falling back into her warm, inviting blankets

"your going or your not going anywhere tonight!" that was her mom basically saying I don't want to go alone. Gabriella rolled out of bed and looked at the clock. 9:46. 'crap' She ran into her bathroom and got read in 4 minutes. She came out of the bathroom in jeans and a tee shirt, her hair pulled up in a messy bun and only a little bit of eye liner on, she obviously wasn't happy about being up.

"good morning hunny" her mom said as she kissed her forehead and smiled

"yeah,yeah,yeah im going to the car" Gabriella mumbled as she grabbed her book and walked to the car. The only reason she was up was because she had a part to go to that night and she was really excited. She had been stuck on one guy, her best friends older brother, for at least a year, and she finally told him she was over him. By no means was it true but she continued telling herself that she didn't like him, that she liked Cole, a guy on her bus, only because he liked her. She was trying so hard to move on, so hard to make things un-weird that she was lying to everyone around her. Truth was she was completely in love with him. She was excited about this party because she hoped to meet someone new, someone that was just as good, if not better than, Troy Bolton….

She laughed softly knowing it was impossible but she shrugged it off anyway. Troy would be at the party tonight because Taylor, the birthday girl, had an older brother that was good friends with Troy. She sighed, last week she would have been bouncing around SO happy at an opportunity to spend Saturday night with the infamous Troy Alexander Bolton, now she was just sad because she finnaly realized he would be too busy flirting with any and every girl around his age to pretend like she existed… It would just be one of those days where jealousy would flow through her like fire, and she'd have to sit by and watch, wishing she was that girl so.incredably.bad
