I rolled my eyes as I watched my brother shoot hoop after hoop in our basketball court. Honestly the guy's obsessed with basketball. He's been playing for three hours straight now, on his own. Anyways, I'm Gabriella Marie Montez, they're my three main names, I have two others but that's because my parents couldn't decide on what one to give me so that gave me them all. So, that means I'm Gabriella Summer Louise Marie Montez. I have long dark brown hair which is always curly, even if a straiten it, it doesn't go perfectly straight. I'm going to get it cut later. I have chocolate brown eyes and I have five siblings. First there's my twin, Chad, he's the one who's obsessed with basketball. Then there's Tommy, he's seventeen, he's in senior year now. Lucas and Adam are twenty and Charlotte, who we call Charlie is twenty four. We all have the same brown eyes but only me and Chad have really really dark hair, the others is a lighter brown. Mines almost black. Oh and did I mention? Chad has an afro. Chad really loves his hair, he hardly ever has it cut, when he does he only has a really small trim.

I looked up as Tommy came and sat next to me "You okay?" He asked, smiling at me.

I nodded "Yep, why? Do I not look okay?" I giggled

"No you look like the happiest person alive right now" He chuckled, putting an arm around my shoulders "You know you mean the world to me, right?"

"Yeah and, you're an awesome brother" I settled my head against his arm and sighed happily. "Isn't that guy coming to stay this summer?"

"Oh yeah, I think mom said he's called Troy or something" He replied "I finally found out why he's staying yesterday. His parents are going on a business trip and they don't want him to be alone all summer."

"Oh right, I thought it seemed a bit weird that mom and dad's friends son is just coming to stay for no reason at all" I told him. I heard him chuckle. Tommy and I have always been close, he always knew when something was up or if I was having a bad day.

"Yeah, oh! I was talking to Laurie the other day" He said (A/N Pronounced Lorry) "He said he's gonna come round today. You wanna hang with us?"

I nodded and smiled "Sure, why not"

Laurie's Tommy's best guy friend. They've known each other all they're lives and have always been best friends.

I looked up as Chad walked over. He smiled and picked me up, spinning me around "Eeep, Chaddie!"

Chad laughed and put me back firmily on my feet, he kissed me cheek, sat down and pulled me onto his lap. "What ya talking 'bout?" He questioned

"That Troy guy that's gonna stay with us and Laurie" Tommy answered

"What are you talking about Laurie for?" He asked, totally confused

"Oh he's coming over later toady" I told him

Chad's mouth formed an 'O' shape. "What time?"

"Uhh, about..." Tommy looked at his watch "Now"

"Heyy peeps!" Laurie greeted, walking into the backyard, smiling. Laurie's always seems to be happy, nothing ever gets him down. He's got blonde-brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hi Laurie" Tommy smiled, doing their handshake with him. It's a really complicated handshake and they do it really quickly. I know how to do it since they taught me how to a few years ago. I'm friends with all of Tommy's friends and they're around a lot. At school Chad and I hang out with the same people. There's Sharpay, my best friend, she's a complete drama queen and loves singing, just like me. Taylor, who've I've known for ages, is a great person to talk to, she's so understanding. Kelsi loves to write music and the lyrics to go with it, also, she is an amazing piano player. Ryan, well he has a lot of hats, he is also Sharpay's twin brother and he loves acting. Zeke is one of my best guy friends, he is an amazing basketball player and an amazing chef. And then there's Jason, he's an excellent basketball player but he's also totally dumb.

"So when is that Troy dude coming?" He asked

"Uh, tomorrow I think" I told him.

He nodded "Is it alright if I come over tomorrow too, I wanna meet him. Liv and Jasmine do too"

"Yeah, course" Chad replied

We all stood up and walked into the house, it was starting to get cold and we didn't have any jackets. I smiled when I saw Charlie and her soon to be husband, Milo, standing in the hallway. "Charlie!" I ran up and hugged her.

"Heyy sis" She smiled, hugging me back.

When we pulled away Milo frowned and said "Don't I get a hug?"

I giggled and hugged him. Since the moment Milo and I met we were close. He always takes me to the movies since no one else can be bothered to go.

Milo and Charlie started dating five years ago, so when I was ten. Milo's really funny, he always knows how to make someone laugh. He has light brown hair and light brown eyes.

I pulled away from Milo and he chuckled, kissing my cheek.

I looked towards the door to see my dad walking through it "Daddy!" I ran up to him and flung my arms around him.

"Heyy sweetheart" He hugged me back and when we pulled away Mom walked through the same door.

"Heyy mom" Chad greeted, sitting down on the first step of the stairs.

I jumped as I heard my cell ring.

Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

"Hello?" I greeted

"Gabi!" Sharpays voice rang through the phone "Guess what!"

I giggled at her excited voice "Well you know you have that guy coming to stay with you?"

"Yeah" I answered

"Well me and Ry are coming to stay with you too! My parents just worked it out with your parents, I'm gonna stay in your room and Ry's gonna stay in Chad's!" She exclaimed

"Shar this is awesome!" I shrieked "This is gonna be an awesome summer"

"I know, I can't wait" Sharpay spoke "We can do all sorts, we can watch all the hot guys roaming around your house with their tops off.."

I stopped her in her tracks "Shar my brothers are not hot!"

"They may no be to you Gabi but they are to others" She argued

I rolled my eyes and then stayed silent for a few seconds. It was only then I realised she couldn't see me "Shar thats discusting"

She laughed "Anyways, we're coming tomorrow"

"Okay" I agreed. "I'll see ya then"

"Yeah, bye Ella, love ya"

"Love ya too chica"

When we hung up I noticed everyone staring at me "What?" I questioned

"I guess you heard that Sharpay and Ryan are also staying for the summer" Dad chuckled

I grinned and nodded "This is gonna be the best summer ever!" I screeched before running up the stairs to my room.

My room is pretty big, it's my favorite colour, purple. My bed is in the middle of the back wall, I have a white dressing table, purple curtains, a big purple rug and a television.

I switched on my laptop and signed on to msn. There were fifteen friends online. I looked through who they were and clicked on Zeke's name.

BrieElla: Heyy

B-Ball Boy: Heyy Ella, u ok?

BrieElla: Yh, u?

B-Ball Boy: Yh, aint dat boy coming to stay with u 2morrow?

BrieElla: Yh, u coming over 2moz?

B-Ball Boy: Yep, I heard Shar and Ry are gonna stay with u

BrieElla: Yh, their rents are going away on business

Zeke and I talked for a little while longer. After an hour he had to go because his mom wanted him to do his chores.

I signed out of msn and onto facebook. 30 notifications. UGH! I looked on my profile to see loads of messages from people. Most of them being from school. Lets just say, I'm popular. I'm head cheerleader. Our school team is called the Wildcats. Everyone at our school is really competative. We don't like losing. Our main rival is West High, there people from there are such jerks! All the West High cheerleaders are sluts.

I read some of the things people had said, most of the things were like 'Have a good holiday' or 'See you after summer vacation'. I sighed and turned off my computer all together. I closed the lid of it and stood up.

I looked at myself in the mirror before walking downstairs. As my weight shifted from one foot to the other I thought about what this guy was going to be like. Was he going to be nice? Was he gonna like me? Would he be hot? Okay well now I'm sounding like Shar. I shook the thought out of my head and reached the bottom of the stairs.

Mom and Dad said that this Troy dude is about nine months older than me which means he was born in October. Oh god, I hope he's nice.

I walked into the living room where everyone was sitting, talking and laughing. I smiled and went over and sat on my dads lap. "You alright sweetheart?" He questioned

I nodded into his shirt. "Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you" I smiled

"I love you too lil girl" He replied

"So baby sis, how's cheerleading going?" Charlie asked, turning to me.

I looked at her "It's going great!"

"Good" She grinned

The Next Day

I yawned as I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and slowly stood up. I looked at the time 12:00. Oh god. I ran into my en suite, grabbing a towel on the way. I locked the door, turned on the shower, got out of my night clothes and jumped into the hot water. When I was done I wrapped the towel around my body, turned off the water, unlocked the door and ran into my bedroom. Running over to my closet I sighed, I opened the doors and looked through all me clothes deciding on what to wear. I picked out some short jean shorts, a white tank top and a light pink hoodie. I grabbed some underwear from my draws and ran back into my bathroom. When I was dressed I dried my hair and put it into a messy bun. I brushed my teeth and ran down the stairs. "Gabi, we're gonna be late!" My mom exclaimed

"I woke up late, sorry" I apoligised, running out of the door and climbed into the car.

When we were all in the car Dad drove us down to the airport.

"Ugh, I'm bored" Chad moaned, after waiting around for fifteen minutes

"Me too" I agreed, laying my head on his shoulder.

"Oh there he is!" Mon exclaimed

I looked up.

Oh my god.
