Chapter one

I looked at my brother next to me while he drives towards the mall. We were suppose to meet our parents at P.F. Chang to talk about 'important' things. I watched as he got off the freeway at the wrong exit.

"Matt! What are you doing!? The mall is that way!" I pointed and he smiled.

"I told you I have to pick up my jersey and schedule at the Lakers Gym." He said and I groaned I forgot all about that. It's not that I'm proud of my brother, I'm very proud, but every time we go to the gym, people who come out of the gym are stuck up. When he parked he turned to me and smiled," I won't take long I promise." He stared at me and then I rolled my eyes. He got out of the car and ran inside.

10 minutes passed, then another. I looked at my watch at the third time and then took the keys out of the car and got out. I walked inside and heard music so I followed it. There was a table and a lady who looked like she was in her fifties.

I was about to walk in the gym until I got stopped.

"Excuse me you can't go in there…" she said.

"Umm, but my bro-"I was rudely interrupted.

"you need a number to try out, whats your name?"

"Gabriella Montez?" I said confused she handed me number 48 and I was pushed in line. I was confused. I watched how the girls had their numbers on their shirt.

"Take out the sticker and put it on your shirt. Do you have shoes? What shoes size are you?" the lady kept asking me questions she put the sticker on my shirt and looked at my feet," size 8 n half" she grabbed a pair and looked at me," quickly put them on your next."

"Your mist-"

"Hurry!" she said and I jumped on the floor and quickly took off my converse and put on the jazz shoes.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!" a girl yelled and 5 girls followed. One slipped and fell and she groaned and got up and left. "Okay fabulous!! Numbers 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49…. You're up next!" the girl screamed.

Again I was pushed and we all five stood there watching the dance move… I knew I wasn't getting out anytime soon so I watched the moves and I followed. I did it exactly like her and she counted.

"GREAT!!! Now please do this!" she did another 8 count followed with another, then she wanted us to do the whole thing with the music. I did it. I never knew I could dance, well I only danced at special occasions but I never danced like this. When the music stopped and the other 50 was dancing with another girl, I saw 4 judges in front of us. "Okay that was it!! The list will be out in 10 minutes, so take a break." I sighed and went to go look for my stupid brother, now I can just get away. I ran towards the other gym but not before bumping into a blonde girl.

"I'm sorry!" I said and grabbed her water bottle off the floor. "Here, I'm sorry again…"

"Its okay… your number 48? You were amazing your defiantly going to make the Laker's dance team, I'm Sharpay Evans…" she extended her hand and smiled.

"Gabriella Montez…" I shook her hand.

"I'm Taylor McKessie," the African American next to her said and smiled," where did you learn to dance like that?"

"Honestly, I don't have dancing experience, I'm here to look for my brother, and they made me try out…" I smiled honestly.

"YOU NEVER HAD DANCING EXPERIENCE?!" Sharpay said well yelled and I shook my head. "You are a liar! You're so good." She smiled.

We then heard girls screaming and we turn our heads towards the bulletin board, dang they were fast posting that list up. "Hey I'll go see if our names are up there," Taylor said as she ran to the big crowd to look for our names.

"I love to stay and chat, but I really have to look for my brother, we are already late for lunch with our parents!" I said and about to turn around and I collide with a sandy brown hair boy. "Shit! I'm sorry!" whats with me bumping into everybody.

"Its cool!" the boy said and then I saw my brother behind him trying to hide from me.

"You are sooo dead!" I glared at Matt but it looks like I'm glaring at the boy.

"Wait me?" the boy said.

"No, no, no! I meant that ass behind you…" I said crossing my arms.

"You know him?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah he's my brother… Matt." I said smiling at Sharpay and her eyes went wide and so did the boy.

"This is your sister?" the boy with the big afro said.

"Yeah!" Matt said afraid what I will say.

"She doesn't look like a monster when she is mad, dude," the blue eye boy said smiling at me.

"A monster?" I said looking at Matt," Matt come on I don't feel like getting in trouble by the rents so can we please go?" I pleaded and pleaded.

"Later Man, I'll see you boys tomorrow!" he did his little handshake with them.

"Shar! Gabriella!" Taylor yelled and we both turned around."We made the team!" Sharpay and Taylor hugged each other.

I widen my eyes," Congrats guys! I go to go!" I grabbed Matt's arm and about to walk off.

"Wait Gabriella! You made the team too!" I turned to Taylor and bite my lip.

"ha Ha funny Taylor, I don't have dancing experience…" The boys were called inside for more practice.

"Wait you tried out of the Lakers dance team?" Matt said staring at me and then laughed. "She made the team?" he looked at the girls and laughed more. "Gabriella is clumsy, she sucks at everything…"

I looked at him in shock and I punched his arm," hey!"

"Wait? Your for real, you tried out?" he turned to me.

"It's the only way to get inside this gym…" I whined.

"Hey my mom's here, Gabriella I see you at practice tomorrow at 5 in the morning." Taylor said running out the door.

"I-" I started then Matt laughed.

"Come on sis, we have to go."

"Nice meeting you Sharpay, but I'm not coming tomorrow…"

"You have to come! Please! You have a gift!" She pleaded.

"She will think about, Later!" Matt said and we both ran out of the gym.

"you won't take long my ass," I mumbled to Matt.

"Sorry, Troy and I played one on one and none of us made a point." He said. "I can't believe you made the dance team… Gabs this will make mom and dad so happy!"

I sighed," should I do it?"

"Yeah, mom was a dancer…"

"No wonder I can dance…"

"She is going to scream when she hears about this…"

"I'll do it! But really 5 in the morning?!"
