It was a beautiful, warm, sun drenched day in Albuequere, New Mexico and it will be a day that has a surprise in store for Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez and the classmates that surround them. Troy is a nice, kind guy who includes everyone and makes sure that no one is left out. Even though he is popular he doesn't get a big head about it or even let go to his head for that matter. That makes him his own person, an individual. He gets long with everyone and treats them as an equal. He has a girlfriend named, Lindsay, who is also popular but she has huge, not big, but huge head about it. She thinks that she's all that when in reality she's not even a half of that. Also she thinks she owns Troy, like that's her property and no one can trespass or they'll be shot.(Survivors will be shot again). His friends don't like her and they wonder why he even stays with the devil's daughter. Lately Troy's been having doubts about their relationship. But he hasn't acted upon his feeling just yet. That morning Troy walked into the school with a grin on his face, and he was greeting everyone that walked past. Then he spotted his girlfriend at her locker, staring at herself in her small mirror.
"Hey," Troy headed in for a kiss but he was rejected.
With her finger shaped as an "X" she said, "Lip-gloss." She rolled her eyes and turned back at her locker to look at herself some more. The grin that Cameron had on his face when he first walked into the school suddenly turned upside down. Sometimes, Troy couldn't even belive the way Lindsay acted .
Rrring!! As the bell sounded, Cameron and his best friend, Chad, headed to their homeroom.
Outside of the school Gabriella Montez stepped out of her mom's car and walked towards the school. Gabriella is a drop-dead gorgeous, sweet, strong person with a good heart. She's so nice to everyone and she has a funny, fun loving personality. But don't let that fool you. She don't take shit from anyone and she wasn't about to start now.
She headed for her homeroom. Room 115.When she walked into the classroom all eyes were on her except for Troy's. He was writing down something that was on the board.
"Class, this is Gabriella Montez, a transfer from Bergenfield High School." said Mrs.Walken. Once Troy heard his teacher say Gabriella's name and the town she was from, his eyes widen and focused on the front of the room.
"Gabriella?" Troy said.
"Troy!" Gabriella exclaimed. Everyone in that classroom was quite confused as Troy got up from his desk and hugged Gabriella with his arms and heart wide open.
"Dude, how do you know her?," Chad asked in very confused by the situation.
" I knew her in middle school and let's just say that we were good friends." Troy said.
"Very good friends. It's so great to see you and by the way, you look great." Gabriella said.
" I look great? How about you? You look fantastic!" Troy said as he spun Gabriella so that he could get a better look at her. Troy hugged her again and she held on to him as tight as he held onto her. They both couldn't believe that they were holding each other in their arms again.
As Troy was hugging her, he whispered "It really is great to see you again, Gabi."
"Ditto" Gabriella whispered back.
They all found their seats and listened to the teacher ramble on about something was on the newspaper today. But in that entire class period Tryo and Gabriella couldn't seem to take their eyes off each other. Troy and Gabriella lied when they said that they were just "friends". In middle school, Troy and Gabriella were dating and to be exact they were each other's first real boyfriend or girlfriend. That means that they both shared their first kiss between each other. Whether you believe it or not, they were in love. Yes, love. I know what you're thinking. Love? They were only 13. They don't even know what love means. But with Troy and Gabriella, it was love and it broke their hearts when Troy's dad got transferred to Playa Linda. On the day he left they were crying in the rain as they held onto each other and had their last kiss. When Troy drove off, she couldn't take it. She broke down onto her knees and burst into tears. But some how fate brought her back to him.
When the bell rang to signal that 1st period was over, Troy and Gabriella found each other in the hallway and started to hug and catch up on things.
"So how's life?" Gabriella said.
"Life is good and now it's even better with you here." Troy said. Gabi giggled and she tried not to show it, but she blushed.
"Hello, Troy." Lindsay said as she rounded the corner. Troy got nervous. "So, who's this?" Lindsay said in a snotty tone, that pissed off both Troy and Gabi.
"This is Gabriella, who's an old friend and it's also her first day. And Gabi this is Lindsay my girl…" he paused for a moment but let out a big sigh and said, "my girlfriend."
"Oh! Well then you have good guy on your hands." Gabi said with a grin on her face.
"Yeah, I know." Lindsay said as she put her arm under Troy's.
She did that to mark her territory. Well, in Lindsay talk that means, this is my man and if lay you a hand on him again, there will be hell to pay. That grin on Gabi's face quickly disappeared.
"I'll see you later, Troy and it was very, uh, interesting to meet you, Lindsay." Gabi said with smirk on her face.
Cameron just giggled and tried to escape before the bomb(Lindsay) went off. Lindsay just glared.
When Gabi was in her Chemistry class, a girl named Taylor said, " I saw what you did when you met Lindsay and might I add, "Bravo".
"Well, thank you. Anyways, what's her damage? Did someone shove a stick up her ass while she was sleeping, because she doesn't seem like the kind of person Troy would date." Gabi said.
"No one knows but people have been talking about you." Taylor said.
"Why?" Gabi said concerned.
"Well friends don't give hugs, like the one you and Troy shared this morning." Taylor said with a raised eyebrow.
"Trust me, Troy and I are just friends. We just haven't seen or heard from each other in the last 5 years." Gabi said.
It tore Gabriella up inside when she said the word "friends", because she still loved him with all of her heart and she wanted to be much more than friends. She wanted to be his girl, his world and most importantly his love.
