Summary: Troy and Gabriella are juniors that go to two different schools, which means they don't know each other. Well at least not yet. When Gabriella's school burns down the West High School students are forced to go to there rivals school. With basketball season coming up we don't know who's going to make the team.
"Troy Jack Bolton! Get your head in the game!" Jack yelled to his son, "I told you left son, not right. How do you plan on making captain again if you don't get this play right? Not only that but how do you plan on beating West High again playing like you don't know what your doing?"
"Sorry, dad it's just I don't think this play is going to work." Troy said trying to explain his horrible playing.
"Well you don't know that." Jack said, "I hear West High got a tough team this year. They started tryouts early so they could practice more before basketball season starts. They got a new player and the kids father is a NBA star and he plays just like him!"
"MOM!" Gabriella yelled
"Yes?" Mrs. Montez responded
"Alec wants to know if I can go out to dinner with him tonight. Cant I?" Gabriella pleaded.
"Gabby, you know today is Friday and Friday's we have Friday night dinners. So the answer is no." Mrs. Montez said
"But there will be other Friday night dinners."
"There will be other Alec dinners too!"
"See mom that's where you're wrong, Alec is like a once in a blue moon chance. He's so cute that when the prettiest girls wait to give him an answer because their playing "hard to get" he doesn't wait he moves on just like that," Gabriella said as she snapped her fingers.
"Gabby, I doubt that." Mrs. Montez said while walking to the kitchen as Gabriella followed her.
"But mom its true! Larissa, the prettiest girl at West high, cheerleading captain, junior class president, waited to give Alec an answer but instead he moved on, and guess who he moved on to? ME! So can I please with a cherry on top PLEASE go?" Gabriella begged
Mrs. Montez thought long and hard, " Well… I guess you can," Mrs. Montez said as Gabriella jumped and screamed, "BUT!"
"Oh no, there's a but." Gabriella said as her moment of success of persuading her mom cam to a downfall
"Your dinner will be here that way me and your father will get to meet him and get to know him." Mrs. Montez said with a smile
Gabriella sighed, "Fine. But no weird personal questions."
"Deal."
"Thank you so much!" Gabriella said and hugged her mom and ran upstairs.
"You two better get inside or your dinner will get cold!" Mrs. Bolton yelled towards her husband and Troy.
"One more shot." Mr. Bolton pleaded
"Maybe we should just turn in." Troy said
"Common son, you know you wanna play." Jack said as he winked toward his son, as a signal of 'lie to your mom so she'll let us play'
Troy sighed, "Common mom one more and we'll be in right away."
Mrs. Bolton sighed, "Fine."
"Thanks hun." Jack said and winked toward his wife as she rolled her eyes and walks insides
"GABRIELLA! Could you come downstairs and set the table before your father gets home?" Mrs. Montez asked as Gabriella walked down the stairs.
"Mom does this look ok?" Gabriella asked her mother. Mrs. Montez looked at Gabriella's outfit
"You look beautiful!" Mrs. Montez said
"Oh great I gotta go change!" Gabriella said and runs upstairs.
-Doorbell rings-
"GABRIELLA!"
"Mom! You get it!"
"That girl." Mrs. Montez said with a smile as she answered the door, "Hello you must be Alec." In front of Mrs. Montez stood a tall, dirty blonde, blue-eyed boy who looked like he had just got done taking pictures for some model agency.
Alec let out a smile, "Hello, yes I am Alec and you must be Mrs. Montez."
Mrs. Montez laughed, "Yes, I am." Mrs. Montez moved aside from the door leaving space for Alec to walk in, "Gabriella will be down in a sec."
"Mom, may I be excused?" Troy asked while poking at his cold dinner.
"Son, if its cold then go warm it up." Mrs. Bolton said
"No, it's not the food I'm just not feeling good." Troy said
"Fine make sure you throw your food away before you head upstairs." Mrs. Bolton said
"Make sure you get a good sleep, I've got some drills for you to do tomorrow morning." Jack said with a grin.
"Jack." Mrs. Bolton said with a little upset look.
"What?" Jack asked
"Yeah, got it dad." Troy said and went to throw his food away.
"Jack Michael Bolton. When will you realize that basketball is not the boys life?" Mrs. Bolton questioned her husband
"See it's that kind-of talk that makes him think that he can't succeed as a professional basketball player." Jack said while taking a bite out of his dinner.
"So Alec, how are your grades in school?" Mr. Montez asked the very nervous guest at the dinner table.
"Dad!" Gabriella said with her teeth clenched together
"Oh, no it's ok Gabriella," Alec said with a little more volume to his nervous shaky voice, "I'm an honors student, I'm actually trying to get my GPA higher or at least closer to Gabriella's." Alec said with a smile
"Play any sports?" Mrs. Montez asked
"Yes, I do. I'm actually going to tryout for the basketball team. I previously played varsity football, but since my dad is an NBA player I figured I'd try out for basketball." Alec explained
"Gabriella here tells me you're quite the ladies man at school." Mrs. Montez said
"MOM!" Gabriella said as she buried her face into her hands.
Alec laughed, "Well, not exactly. I'm not sure how I got this popular with girls. I guess it's a trait from my dad." Alec joked as Mr. and Mrs. Montez laughed. While Gabriella's head was still buried in her hands.
"Troy?" Mrs. Bolton said as she knocked on her son's door.
"Yeah?" Troy said
"How are you feeling?" Mrs. Bolton asked walking into Troy's room
"Yeah, just a little tired nothing big." Troy said
Mrs. Bolton sighed, "Ok, well did you get your homework done?"
"I just have English."
"Oh ok. Well night." Mrs. Bolton said and kissed her son on the forehead and left. As Mrs. Bolton left the room, Troy walked over to his computer and checked his myspace (hehehe). As he entered his blog he found that he had 10 messages from Sharpay, 5 from different girls. He shook his head and deleted the messages.
"Well, nice meeting you Alec hope you come to more Friday night dinners." Mrs. Montez as she left Alec and Gabriella alone
"That was nice." Alec said with a smile
Gabriella sighed, "Yeah more like embarrassing."
Alec laughed, "Tell you what you can make it up to me by going out with me Wednesday." Alec said with a smile.
Gabriella's face lit up, "Of course!"
"Haha great." Alec said and kissed Gabriella on the forehead and left.
