Hey, this is just an idea that came into my head. I have no idea how 'successful' this story will be so please bear with me and review and tell me your thoughts. Sorry for deleting my other two stories but this may be a mix of the two so, please let me know what you think!! Thanks!


"Okay, Settle Down, Settle Down!" Principle Matsui shouted in a vain attempt to make the class of juniors be quiet. It was their first day back after the excitement of summer vacation and settling down, listening and paying attention were the last things on their mind. "Seriously! Settle down!" he tried again, this time to much more success as the group of students chatter died down to a low murmur. "Thank- You, now I'd like you to meet your new math teacher, Miss Montez!" he signalled to the young woman standing to his right. Every eye in the room turned to her. Taking in her petite frame clothed in dark wash jeans, fitted purple shirt and purple heels. A few guys whistled appreciatively as the girls whispered amongst themselves about their opinion of her.

Amongst all the wolf whistling and judging whispers one teenager simply sat and looked straight ahead of him, ignoring the comments his friends were making. He wasn't surprised to see his new teacher, simply surprised that he'd ended up in one of her classes. He kept staring ahead until his blue eyes met the shining brown pair of his new teacher. He smiled widely at her, reassuring her.

"Man! She's smokin'!" Josh Kerr, a cocky guy who thought he was god's gift announced loudly.

The teenager, Luke Bolton sighed, smiling to himself. Yes she was 'smokin'' there was no denying it. However this particular teenager knew far better than to admit too loudly that he found her attractive. The reason for this? She was his brother's girlfriend, or should he say fiancé. However, he couldn't admit this fact to anyone either. Yes, some people knew who his brother was, but they, or anyone else for that matter, couldn't find out who exactly who his brothers girlfriend is.

"Okay then, I am going to leave you in the more than capable hands of Miss Montez." Principle Matsui said as he exited the room and all eyes immediately focussed solely on Miss Montez.

"Okay…" She smiled, looking around nervously. "So, I don't know any of you so I thought we would go round and tell me your name and something's about yourself. Who wants to start?"

Immediately Josh's hand shot up and Miss Montez nodded in his direction. "Hello, I'm Josh Kerr; I love sports and am on the basketball and baseball team!"

"Thank you!" she grinned as she signalled for the next person to talk.

Finally everyone in the class had gone, all except for one. "Hi. My name is Luke Bolton. I love basketball and am trying out for captain this year and unlike some of my family, I can't sing!"

Miss Montez attempted in vain to hide the smirk that was appearing on her face.

"So Miss, do we get to know anything about you?" Josh shouted out.

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything…"

"Okay, my name is Gabriella Montez. I enjoy singing, the odd bit of basketball and surprisingly math!"

"Are you single?" someone shouted out.

Gabriella blushed, choosing to ignore the question whilst both she and Luke muttered to themselves. 'Nope...not even close, though I could be for all anyone really knows'.


Toy Bolton, captain of the Lakers smiled to himself as he skipped up the garden path. It was his fiancés first day at her new job and he couldn't wait to hear all about it. He took his keys from his pocket and opened the door quietly, so as not to be heard. He was late home, his pre season training session had run late, not that that was a rare occurrence, and in fact that was generally how his training sessions worked. Setting his kit bag down in the hall he tip toes towards the kitchen where he could hear a familiar sweet voice singing and smell the aroma of food being cooked.

Careful not to make a sound, he walked into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around the brunette beauty that stood before him. He smirked as she watched her jump at his original touch before she melted into his arms.

"Troy Bolton!" she scolded as she spun herself round in his arm so she was facing him. In her hand she held a knife which she pointed dangerously close to Troy's face... "Don't you dare scare me like that ever again. You're lucky I didn't just stab this right through you!"

"Aww, but baby, you'd never do that to me!" he said pouting at her.

"Well. No, not intentionally. But you sneaked up on me. You could have been anyone!"

"Sorry Gabi!" he said, his voice muffled as he buried his face in her dark brown locks, breathing in the familiar smell of her tropical scented shampoo. He pulled away and began placing light kisses down her face, from her forehead to her chin. "Am I forgiven?"

"Well, that depends…how sorry are you?" he didn't say anything. Instead he put his arms beneath her legs and lifted her onto the counter top. Capturing her lips in a passionate kiss before pulling away and looking at her questionably, awaiting her all important verdict. "You're forgiven!" she concluded before jumping off the counter and returning her attention to the dinner she was preparing. "Oh and go have a shower before dinner please. You smell like the gym!" he rolled his eyes before placing a kiss on her cheek and going upstairs.


After dinner the pair were relaxing on the couch, Troy sitting at one end with Gabriella curled up against his side.

"So Gabi, how was your first day at work?"

"It was amazing; everyone was so nice and welcoming, though it's strange being back at High School, especially when you're not there. But on the bright side...Luke is in one of my classes!"

"Oh joy for you, I'm sure that's great fun!"

"Troy!" she punched him lightly. "That's mean, plus you know I love Luke, he's great, and it's nice to see a friendly face around the place!"

"Well there is a plus side I suppose....at least you can tell me all the bad things Luke gets up to!"

"So you can rat him out to your mom and dad?"

"You know me all too well babe!" he replied causing her to giggle. "Oh, I have something to tell you..."

"Yeah? Well I have something to tell you too, but you go first!"

"Okay, if you're sure.... I have decided that since you know we're getting married in near enough two weeks and we're going to be together forever I'm not going to hide our relationship from the press. If they ask, I won't refuse to talk about it, I want the world to know how much I Love You Gabriella. But I mean obviously, if you want to keep it a secret you can, but I think it will be good, I mean we won't have to hide anymore...what do you think?"

"I think it's a great idea Troy! It will make things easier for you, and it might stop the females throwing themselves at you, and I can now tell anyone that admires my ring that, yes, my fiancé is brilliant, he's the gorgeous, talented, Troy Bolton!"

"I love you Gabriella!" he grinned as he pressed a kiss to her lips. "Now what did you want to tell me?"

"Well, the thing is....."


The following week was hectic. Gabriella was obviously working every day, attempting to remember all her students' names, as well as arranging the last minute preparations for her wedding. Troy was also training everyday for a large portion of the day in preparation for the first game of the season. However the weekend after Gabriella's first day at her new job the couple took time out of their busy schedule and went out for a meal with their best friends.

Chad Danforth and Taylor McKessie, were not the most obvious or conventional couple. After all Chad played for the Lakers whilst Taylor was one of the top doctors in the country. However he provided just the right amount of excitement and spontaneity to her life while she was calm and level headed enough to deal with his occasional childlike behaviour.

Sharpay Evans and Zeke Baylor, were another couple you would never have put together. Sharpay was an up and coming actress and everything an actress is said to be, extravagant, loud, and excitable but she was also a kind caring person. This and many other reasons was why Zeke, master chef and restaurant owner loved her.

The only semi predictable couple in the group was Ryan Evans, Sharpay's twin brother and Kelsi Nealson. Both loved musical theatre, Ryan loving centre stage whilst Kelsi held a passion for composing.

All six of them had attended East High with Troy and Gabriella and by complete fluke of luck all had ended out in LA with them. Troy and the others had all attended school together since kindergarten and when Gabriella joined at the beginning of their junior year she had slotted perfectly in with them, despite the age gap of three years. Gabriella was incredibly smart and had skipped a few grades enabling her to graduate early and meet the man that was to become her husband. It could be said that Gabriella was destined for bigger things than being a teacher, she could have been a lawyer, a doctor like Taylor or something much more exotic but it had always been her dream to be a teacher and she was not one to give up on a dream.

So how had they all ended up living in LA? Gabriella had gotten offered a place at Stanford and Chad and Troy had received the opportunity of a lifetime in the form of an offer to play for the Lakers, which naturally they grabbed with both hands. The others, all simply happened to do the courses they wanted to do in colleges around LA and then moved into LA when they graduated. The only person missing from the old gang as such, from Albuquerque was Gabriella's mom. She had chosen to stay in Albuquerque when Gabriella left for California, saying she knew her daughter was in safe hands with Troy. The main reason she stayed was because it was where she had met her husband and after moving around for three years after his death she didn't want to have to move around anymore, she felt closest to him there. Troy's parents on the other hand moved to LA for two reasons, they wanted to be able to go and see Troy play whenever they wanted and also for Luke. Luke was seven years Troy's junior and he worshipped his older brother, so Jack and Lucille moving seemed the easiest way to keep their family as close as possible. Also, the fact that Troy's older brother David, and his wife Emily already lived in California with their two kids Meghan who was five and two year old Chloe. David and Emily first moved to California after David was offered the chance of heading up the California offices of his company. He obviously jumped at the chance and it also gave Emily, who owned her own chain of boutiques to have the excuse of opening a new one in California.


Right, Okay so that was just a brief introduction to everyone etc. It should get more exciting in upcoming chapters. Please let me know what you think =D
