Gabriella Montez.
She is a tomboy with a girly heart. She is friends with every guy in her high school but was best friends with 3 guys and two girls. The guys are Zeke Baylor, Chad Danforth and Troy Bolton captain of the basketball team, the girls Taylor McKessie, Chad's girlfriend, and Sharpay Evans, Zeke's girlfriend.
Why is Gabriella a tomboy? Well simply it's how she was raised. Her father raised her all of her life since her mother left them when she was young.
Gabriella's father Alex Montez is the Coach of the U of A Redhawks. He went to East high with Troy's dad Jack Bolton. They went to college together, were roommates, were each other's best men and are the godfathers of each other's children. When Jack and Lucille had Troy Alex prayed for a boy that could go through the same experiences he went through with Jack with Troy. He got Gabriella instead. But when he saw her he loved her and raised her the best way he knew.
Like one of the guys.

"Goooood Morning Albuquerque!!! It is currently 6 on the dot and the sun has hit its spot. Yes ladies and germs summer is over and September has come. Kidos it's time to get back to the…sweet thought of learning. So let's start this morning off with my all time favorite We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister…"
As the song started to play loudly on Gabriella's night stand she groaned slowly coming out of her sleep. She grabbed her pillow and placed it over her face before screaming into it kicking her legs up and down. Once she'd released her anger she settled and sighed against her pillow.
After laying there a while she pushed the pillow off her face and slowly pulled the covers off of her like that would make the time move any slower. Once the covers were successfully off of her she felt the early morning breeze come over her body. She groaned once again before moving her body into a sitting position her feet barely touching the ground from her queen bed. She let her head hang forward her chin resting in the area above her breast, hair falling in her face. She let out a short sigh before looking at her door and hopping off her bed.
"I love sports, I love school, I love Troy, and he loves me. I love sports, I love school, I love Troy, and he loves me." Gabriella repeated to herself as she headed for the bathroom that was connected to her bedroom.
Once inside she closed the door and looked in the mirror at her flattened curls, white tank top and pink bra underneath, along with her green Soffe shorts. She noticed how her hips were larger than they had been the year before and her butt is firmer than before. She sighed again before stripping to her birthday suit and getting into the shower. When she got inside she started washing herself and quickly shaved before grabbing her toothbrush and paste from the holder on her shower wall and brushing her teeth. When she finished she grabbed her Disney Princesses beach towel and wrapped it around her body getting out of the shower. She opened the door to her bathroom and walked out heading for her closet. She looked inside and pulled out a pair of short shorts and a U of A gray tank top. She pulled the clothes off their hangers and was walking to her bed to place them down but screamed dropping the clothes and thankfully not her towel.
"Bugs what are you doing here at-"Gabriella glanced at her clock, "6:18 in the morning?" Gabriella said bending over to get the clothes off the floor and placed them on the back of her desk chair.
"Come on Ria it's not like I haven't seen you naked before so stop acting like you have a stick up your ass, it's not your time of the month yet." Troy said grinning teasingly at Gabriella while getting off the bed and walking over to her,
"Troy my dad's in the other room." Gabriella said smirking up at her 6 foot 5 boyfriend as he approached her 5 foot 5 frame.
"Your radios on," Troy said wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her close. Gabriella smirked up at him as he played with her wet hair wrapping it around his finger.
"I love this shirt," Gabriella said not even looking at it.
"I know this sexy girl bought it for me."
"So I'm sexy?"
"Hell yea,"
"That's good to hear,"
"So Ria since I wore this for you, what are you going to wear for me?" Troy asked playing with her towel.
"I was thinking…cheetah," Gabriella said grinning as Troy's eyes got large.
"Like my favorite cheetah with the easy clasp?" Troy said looking heated just from the thought.
"Uh huh," Gabriella said wrapping her right arm around Troy's neck pulling him down towards her.
"Well I think that should get a kiss of approval," Troy whispered against her lips before pulling her into a kiss. When they pulled apart Troy rested his forehead against hers their breaths becoming one. Gabriella leaned up and kissed him before pulling away.
"I have to get dressed Bugs," Gabriella said heading over to her drawer and pulled out her cheetah bra and pink VS boyfriend undies.
Gabriella and Troy started dating 2nd semester of their freshman year. They kept it a secret ever since then, though they figured that their friends were catching on since Troy and Gabriella always need some form of contact to make it. They weren't going to just come out and admit it though. It's not that they're ashamed of their relationship it's just that they like to keep some things private.
"Why are your shorts so short?" Troy asked watching as Gabriella sat in her desk chair and pulled on her socks.
"What do you mean?" Gabriella said pushing her bangs out of her face though it fell down again anyways.
"I mean you're sitting down and I can't even see them," Troy said frowning.
"Troy no worries, none of the guys are going to try anything. But you know the seniors this year are looking a little untamed since it's their last year. And you know how seniors love juniors."Gabriella said winking at Troy,
"I'm your boyfriend I think I should have a say in what you wear." Gabriella gave Troy a look before grabbing her Nikes and sliding them on.
"I'm a big girl Troy and you raised me to know how to kick any guy's ass. I mean if I can take you I can take anyone."
"Hey you cannot take me."
"Do we need to go through this again?" Gabriella said standing up and looking at Troy.
"No," Troy said looking away. Gabriella gave him a satisfied smile before walking over to her dresser mirror and looking at her outfit making sure that her bra wasn't showing or anything.
"You should go now, we don't need my dad knowing that you come in my room before school." Gabriella said while putting some Nivea on her lips and a thin layer of eye liner and mascara. She ran a hand through her bangs before turning back to Troy.
"How do I look?" she asked as Troy was heading for her balcony.
"Gorgeous." He said simply before heading for the tree. Gabriella smiled before grabbing her U of A baseball cap and her iphone before turning off her radio and heading for her door and down the stairs and to the kitchen.
"Hey sport, ready for your first day of junior year?" Alex said looking up at his daughter as her ate his Cinnamon Toast Crunch and read the sports section.
"Yea dad I'm ready for gym,"
"Did you get Jack again this year?" Alex asked watching his daughter grab a glass and get the orange juice out and pour it in the glass.
"I always get Jack as a gym teacher dad." Gabriella said with a slight laugh as she hopped on the counter before taking a sip of the orange juice.
"Right silly question, what sports are you doing this year sport?"
"Volleyball, track, and swim."
"Volleyball what sparked that one?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well me Shar and Tay went to the beach and well we played beach volleyball. It was fun so I decided why not." Alex frowned and placed his paper down.
"What about basketball?" Gabriella sighed and placed her glass in the sink before jumping off the counter.
"What about it?" Gabriella asked while pulling her hair together and spinning it in a bun while grabbing her hat and pulling it over her head keeping her hair up with a few fly away.
"I thought you'd be going for basketball again this year. That's all,"
"Well maybe I want to try more of a girl sport," Gabriella said looking at her dad.
"Girls play basketball."
"But dad I've been playing basketball all of my life and-"
"Hey people!" Troy said coming into the kitchen straight into the tension which made him drop his smile and look from Alex to Gabriella his eyes resting on her as she pulled her cap lower on her face.
"Let's go, bye dad." Gabriella said before sprinting out the door and around the corner before anyone could say another word.
East High
"Scabs where's the fire?!" Chad said from his spot leaning against the wall next to the trophy case in the front entrance of the school with the gang.
"Oh nothing I just want an early morning sprints." Gabriella said lifting her cap out of her eyes.
"Gabs I hate how every time I see you, you get hotter." Jason said throwing his arm over her shoulder.
"Well thanks Jas, I think."
"So did you guys take baking this year?" Zeke asked as they started walking down the hall his arms around Sharpay's waist.
"Yes Zeke, but I hope you know we all only take the class for the free food." Chad said grabbing Taylor's rolling back pack and her hand.
"Where's Troy?" Sharpay said poking Gabriella in the back.
"Oh shit, I kind of ran out of the house…I'm sure he'll be here soon." Gabriella said blushing a little.
"So scabs for free period we're going out to the track you want to join?" Jason said looking down at Gabriella.
"Yea sure," Gabriella said as they all got to Darbus's room.
"I still can't believe we have her as a homeroom." Chad groaned as they headed into the room,
Chad went to his seat in the second row, Taylor going right behind him Jason after her. Zeke went in the third row across from Taylor in front of Gabriella, and Sharpay took her spot in the second row. Troy walked in and looked at Gabriella but couldn't make eye contact since her cap was down and she was talking with Jason. Troy sighed before sitting down in front of Chad.
"Yo captain we're going to the track during free. Scabs said she'd come,"
"That's gr-"
"Hello young thespians …"
Free Period
"I don't get how you hang with these guys all the time." Taylor said as her and Gabriella headed for the track.
"It's all I know, besides everyone sees me as a guy so-"
"But you're not, you clearly have boobs and an ass and feelings."
"Tay, I know I have a girly side I mean I'm trying to get comfortable with it. But I just can't let go."
"Gabriella," Taylor said grabbing her arm and pulling her behind the bleachers. "I know about you and Troy," She whispered, Gabriella's jaw dropped and she pulled her hat up a little.
"How long?" Gabriella asked not bothering to deny it.
"Sophomore year, homecoming, I was coming to your house to get ready and your door was open and I peeked in and saw you kissing."
"I thought I heard someone." Gabriella said shaking her head.
"I think it's cute, but why Troy? I thought you guys were just best friends?"
"I could lie and say it's because he's hot…well that's somewhat true." Gabriella said laughing a little. "But he sees me as a girl and not one of the guys."
"As long as you're happy." Taylor said pulling Gabriella into a hug.
"You won't tell anyone," Gabriella said pointing at Taylor once they pulled apart.
"I promise." Gabriella nodded and pulled her cap over her eyes again.
"Yo Scabs, Tay come on!!" Jason yelled waving to them.
"Come on," Gabriella said pulling Taylor from behind the bleachers, Gabriella handed Taylor her phone before running out to the football field a bunch of guys were play flag football.
"Alright we have shirts over here and skins there." Tommy said as everyone got in a line as he sent people to skins or shirts.
"Skin," he said winking at me once he came to me.
"Gabriella can't be a skin!" Troy yelled when he saw me coming over to their side.
"And why can't I?" Gabriella said looking up at all of the guys shaking their heads.
"Because…you're a girl." Chad said looking at Gabriella's boobs to make a point.
"Oh fuck that, I've been seen as a boy half my life why see me as a girl now," Gabriella said running back to Taylor and pulling her tank off and fixing her cap on her head. She tossed her tank to Taylor and ignored her scolding and headed back over to the guys.
"Can we just play?" Gabriella said and everyone shrugged though glancing at her cheetah bra.
"That was supposed to be for me." Troy said walking over to her.
"Well it still is, it's not like they'll be taking it off." Gabriella said looking up at Troy.
"Yea I guess, but what was with you this morning?" Troy asked placing his hand on her arm trying to look in her eyes.
"Nothing I want to talk about now," Gabriella said pulling away from him,
Bolton's house
"Hey kids, how was everyone's first day?" Lucille said coming into the basement smiling at the teenagers spread around.
"It was good mom," Chad said grinning at Lucille from his spot on the couch his arm around Taylor.
"It was great Lucille," Taylor confirmed.
"That's great," She glanced around the room and her eyes landed on the girl on the love seat with a U of A baseball cap on,
"Gabriella can you come up here for a sec," Lucille waited for Gabriella to stand before heading back upstairs.
On Gabriella came upstairs they headed to the kitchen where Lucille had bags spread on the kitchen table.
"I know I haven't done this in years but I thought I'd go and get you your month worth of things. I know you can get it yourself but I just felt like doing it." Lucille said handing Gabriella a bag full of girl things. Gabriella smiled.
"Thanks Lucille this means a lot." Lucille smiled and placed her hands on her hips.
"I remember when you were 11 and your dad came running to me begging me to talk to you about girl things. You're like the girl I always wanted. And now-" Lucille walked over to Gabriella and placed her hand on her cheek. "You're turning into a beautiful woman, if only people could see it-" Gabriella moved her face out of Lucille's grasp.
"I'm sorry, you just look so much like your mother." Lucille's eyes slowly started to water
"Thanks Lucille," Gabriella said before turning towards the basement door.
"Oh and Gabriella," Lucille called out making Gabriella turn around.
"Yea?"
"No hats in the house." Gabriella clenched her jaw a little before nodding and pulling her hat off her head her long brown locks cascading down her back. Gabriella glanced at Lucille before heading down.
Tree house – 9:30 pm
"I remember when I was the only girl allowed to come up here." Gabriella said sitting on a Troy's lap who was sitting on a bucket looking at the pirates' wheel in front of her.
"That's only because I had a crush on you." Troy said kissing Gabriella's shoulder.
"That was back when I was 5 and my hair was short and you thought I was a boy with a girls name."
"Well I was 5 what was I supposed to think I'd never seen you in a dress. But lord what you were hiding in those boy clothes." Gabriella jabbed Troy in the stomach with her elbow making him cough a little.
"Sorry," Troy mumbled clearing his throat.
"It's okay Bugs," Gabriella said rubbing Troy's hand that was around her waist
"Gosh remember when you started calling me Bugs?" Gabriella giggled a little.
"Yea, because you were six and for Christmas your aunt sent you Bugs bunny everything. Underwear, bedspread, sheets, socks, pajamas, curtains, towels, pillowcases, and a backpack. I mean the woman must have hit a bargain," Gabriella said looking back at Troy who was blushing a little.
"It wasn't that bad,"
"Yes it was babe," Gabriella said trying to hold back a laugh.
"Well maybe it was,"
"Do you not like the name? Cause I could stop-"
"No!" Troy said alarmed and Gabriella turned to him raising an eyebrow. "I mean I like that you call me Bugs."
"And only I can call you that?"
"Of course," Troy said as Gabriella shifted so it'd be easier to kiss Troy on the lips. When Gabriella pulled away from Troy she noticed a frown on his flawless face.
"What's wrong?" Gabriella asked letting her finger touch the lines on Troy's forehead smoothing them out until they were gone.
"What were you and your dad talking about earlier?" Troy asked watching Gabriella as she pushed her hair out of her face.
"He was a little mad that I'm not doing basketball this year," Gabriella said avoiding Troy's eyes looking up at the stars.
"Don't listen to him, you can do anything you want," Troy said
"I know and that's why I love you. You support me with every choice I make," Gabriella said turning back to Troy and kissing him on the lips.
"You need to talk to him though," Troy said as Gabriella sighed and got off his lap and headed inside the tree house.
"I know I just, now is not the time," Troy walked in and leaned against the frame of the door as Gabriella turned back to face him. "Can we change the subject?" Gabriella asked fiddling with her hands.
"Sure. So can we play now?" Troy asked with a innocent smile.
"Yes Troy," Gabriella said laughing a little as Troy approached her.
"There's that smile," Troy said grinning and wrapping his arms around Gabriella's waist playing with her tank a little before pulling it over her head. Gabriella looked up at Troy and smile before grabbing the hem of Troy t-shirt and pulling it over his head throwing it off to the side.
Troy slowly brought his hands down and places them on Gabriella's lower back sending shivers down her spin like he had ice cubes for hands. Gabriella placed her hands gently on Troy's chest and felt how fast Troy's heart was beating.
"Your hearts beating so fast." Gabriella said as they got to their knees and moved into the laying position.
"It's beating for you," Troy whispered before leaning forward and planting his lips on hers. Slowly they opened their mouths and let each other's tongues explore. When they pulled apart for air Gabriella pushed Troy on his back and straddled him as he unclasped her bra. Gabriella placed her hands on his chest and let her fingers run over his abs.
"You make me feel beautiful Troy," Gabriella said laying on top of Troy as he rubbed soothing circles on her back.
"You are beautiful, everyone else is just missing out." Troy kissed her forehead as she nodded against his chest.
"School tomorrow," Gabriella whispered.
"Ugh, that's right, I don't want to move,"
"Then let's just stay here and hold each other."
"I love you Ria" Troy said as Gabriella moved her head to look at him.
"I love you more Bugs," Gabriella said before kissing Troy on the lips
