CHAPTER 1

Disclaimer: two words: FAN FICTION. Okay? Good.

"Gabriella Montez! Mija, you'll be late! Come down and have breakfast." shouted Elaine Montez ((A/N: her mami))

"Coming, Mami!"

Gabriella Montez was just an ordinary girl. Brown hair, brown eyes…you already know, I'm sure.

She went downstairs and kissed her mom on the cheek, then sat down on the kitchen table and ate her bacon and eggs. She was wearing a pink dress shirt with dark brown pants and brown flip-flops with orange beads on them. She picked up her backpack from where it was sitting in the corner near the door and went out the door to East High.

"Bye, mami."

"Bye, Mija. Make good choices." ((A/N: LOL, this is like what the mom in Freaky Friday said))

She passed Troy Bolton's house and saw Chad waiting outside and decided to go to him. Chad was wearing a blue button-down shirt and khaki shorts.

"Hey, Chad."

"Hey Gabi, I'm just waiting for Troy to get ready, so we can get to school. Man, he wakes up late. Darbus will kill us."

"Haha, yeah. You know Darbus…"

"You wanna walk with us?"

"Yeah, sure…"

Right after Gabi said this, Troy got out of the door. He was wearing a green shirt and jeans, he had a Wildcats jacket around his shoulder, and his backpack was slung around his other shoulder.

"Hey, Gabi!" Troy said. Troy and Gabi had been boyfriend and girlfriend for 2 months now.

'Hey…I'm walking to school with you. Is that okay?" answered Gabi

'Babe, you don't even have to ask." Said Troy and he wrapped his arm around shoulder and kissed her cheek.

"Aww, come one, guys. If we don't get going, Darbus will be breathing down our necks…" said Chad

"When has she not been breathing down our necks, man?" answered Troy

"Chad's right, we should go." Gabi said to the both of them.

"Thank you!" Chad said, as he jumped off Troy's door step.

It took 15 minutes for them to get to East High, some students were still outside, but then the bell rang and they all ran inside.

Darbus was late for once. Everyone was sitting down on their chairs and has been waiting for Darbus for about 5 minutes.Then, a door opened and some guy, looking about 3 years old came in.

"Good Morning, students." He said "I am Mr. Jacobs Vanders. I will be your substitute homeroom and drama teacher for 2 months. Ms. Darbus has gone to her family, because her niece is getting married and she will be gone for 2 months."

Most students were smiling, except for Sharpay Evans. She was Ms. Darbus' 'teacher's pet' and didn't know how this guy would react to her.

"So, I have been told that you have had a Musical last semester, am I right?"

The class nodded their heads to this.

"Ah, I see. I heard a lot about this musical. It was a great hit, right?" right after he said this, he laughed.

Gabi and Troy were blushing, Sharpay and Ryan were beaming.

"Now, I see that we have a new student, she is going to be here any second now."

As if on cue, the door opened and a girl came in. She was of average height and had black hair, brown eyes and light brown skin. She was wearing a white blouse, faded jeans, and light pink flip-flops.

" Now, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"Uhm, hey. I'm Andrea Cruz. I just moved to New Mexico two weeks ago, I used to live in the Philippines. I like art, writing, playing the guitar and piano and theatre."

"There you go. Now, be kind to Ms. Cruz here. Can I ask for volunteers to show her around?"

Taylor, Kelsie, Gabriella, and Sharpay raised their hands. Sharpay had changed, and was not an Ice Queen anymore. They were all best friends.

"That's the spirit I want to see! Now, during lunch, Andrea will sit with you guys, okay?" Mr. Vanders said, looking at the 4 girls then to Andrea.

It was soon lunch time, and the 4 girls met Andrea in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Andrea, want to sit with us?" asked Gabi

"Sure, thanks. Oh, you can call me Drea by the way."

"Sure, Drea. Our table is over there, near the Wildcats." Said Taylor

"Oh, and the cafeteria food isn't so bad, haha." Said Kelsie.

"Yeah, yeah. Now, Drea, it's time for a little East High 101." Said Sharpay.

Ooh…new student! Haha. Will Drea be a spotlight stealer or a nice girl? Will she be one of their best friends later? Will Sharpay be bitchy around her, just 'cus she loves theatre? I have no idea. Hmm…. Comment, 'cus I want to see what you guys want. Give me suggestions, okay?
