"MOM!" a 17 year old girl said as she ran into the kitchen where she found her mother.

"Mom, there you are." The girl said as she stood in front of her mother excited.

"Kaylee Alexis Bolton what in the world are you so happy for." Gabriella Bolton said as she laughed at her daughter.

"Mom, mom it came." Kaylee said as she started to jump up and down.

"What came sweetheart?" Gabriella said as she looked at her confused.

"The letter; I got in. I'm a finalist for the Spring Ball at Lava Springs." Kaylee said as she started to scream.

"Oh My God sweetie that's great." Gabriella said as she hugged her excited daughter.

"They said that I'm a finalist and have to go against 9 other girls." Kaylee explained.

"I have to bring a date with me."

"You could take Michael. I know that he would want to go." Gabriella said talking about her boyfriend Michael Baylor, the son of Gabriella best friends Zeke and Sharpay Baylor.

"Yeah but mom look at all the events; what if we don't win?" Kaylee said as sat on the couch.

"Sweetie what are you talking about? Of course you will win." Gabriella said as she looked at her confused.

"Mom I'm going against 9 other girls 5 of which are from East High and the other 4 from West High. I mean I might not win." Kaylee said in a sad tone.

"Kaylee of course you will win. I know you and this competition and you are defiantly going to win." Gabriella said as she smiled at her daughter.

"Mom, how do you know about this competition?" Kaylee said as she looked at her mother confused.

"Honey let me tell you about the time when I was in the Spring Ball." Gabriella said with a smile as her daughter looked at her.

"You were in it?" Kaylee said as she looked at her mother shocked.

"Yep now listen." Gabriella said as she started the story.

Gabriella Montez was in the living room with her best friends; Sharpay and Ryan Evans, Chad Danforth, Taylor McKessie, Zeke Baylor, Kelsi Nelson and her boyfriend of a year Troy Bolton all watching TV.

"Gabriella you have mail." Inez Montez said as she walked in the living room full of teens.

"Really from who?" Gabriella said as she got up from her spot on her boyfriend to get the letter.

"I don't know open it and see." The whole gang looks on with the same confused face as she opens the letter and reads:

Dear Ms. Montez, We are happy to inform you that you and 6 other young ladies have been chosen to be in the Albuquerque, New Mexico's Spring Ball. The Ball will be held on May 20, 2010 at The Lava Springs Resort. Congratulations and good luck.

"Oh My God." Was all Gabriella could say as she finished reading the letter.

"Oh My God Gabriella congrats." Her best friends Taylor, Kelsi and Sharpay said all at the same time.

"Congrats babe." Troy said as he hugged her.

"ThanksBut what is the ball?" Gabriella said confused.

"That's right you weren't here when we had one." Taylor said.

"Well, Brie-Ella, the Spring Ball is the big event that we have that selects 6 girls to compete for Ms. Albuquerque." Sharpay said informing her friends.

"And usually there are 4 East High girls and 2 West High." Kelsi added.

"Well it looks like Gab is one of those 4." Chad said as he looked at her with a smile.

"Yeah it sounds fun. Shar did you do it." Gabriella said as she asked her best friend.

"Yeah when I was 15 but I didn't win. I won one of the other events." Sharpay said with a smile.

"Well Gabs are you going to do it?" Kelsi said as she looked at her.

"Of course I am, that is if Mr. Bolton will be my date." Gabriella said as she looked at her boyfriend.

"Is that an invite Ms. Montez?" Troy said with a smirk.

"Maybe that depends. Are you going with me?" Gabriella said with the same smirk.

"Of course I am. I'll be honored to." Troy said as he kissed her.

"Well it looks like we are going to be doing a lot of shopping." Inez said as the girls cheered and the boys groaned.

The next day everyone knew that Gabriella was one of the six girls that was in the ball and seeing as she was one of the most popular girls in school other than Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi every guy wanted to be her date. When you go into the hallways you see a huge banner that say; Congrats to our 4 girls! And it had a picture of each of the girls that was in the event. Two of the girls were friends of Gabriella's; Kelly Thomson and Celena Jonas and the other was Katie Johnson; someone that hated Gabriella down to the guts. Gabriella and the girls were all at her locker talking when Landon Smith, caption of the football came up to Gabriella.

"Hey Gabriella." Landon said in a flirty tone.

"Landon what do you want?" Gabriella said looking annoyed.

"I just wanted to say congrats on getting into the ball." Landon said putting up his hands in defense.

"Thanks Landon." Gabriella said with a fake smile knowing he was up to something.

"And I wanted to know if you needed a date." Gabriella and the girls rolled their eyes and look at him like he is stupid.

"Yes Landon I have a date; Troy. You know my boyfriend." Gabriella said.

"Oh well you know I figured you wanted to win but you know since he's your date you might as well not go." Landon said as Gabriella rolled her eyes.

Landon had been trying to get with Gabriella every since her and Troy started to date; not to mention she was the most popular girl in school, the girls basketball and volleyball caption. Most guys would back off since she was Troy's girl but some of them like Landon just wanted to piss Troy off.

"First, eww. Second, Troy's my boyfriend and we will win. Third, there is no way in HELL that you will ever be my date. I'll choose any other guy before I choose you." Gabriella said as the girls started to laugh.

"You heard her Smith, get the fuck away from my girl." A voice said and Landon turned around to see that it was Troy with the rest of the guys.

"Well look who it is Troy Bolton and his crew." Landon said with a smirk as they all glared at him.

"Like I said before get the hell away from my girl before I kick your ass." Troy said as his eyes changed from blue to navy which means he is mad as hell.

"Gabriella let me know when you need a real date." Landon said to Gabriella as she faked a smile and he winked at her which caused Troy to almost jump on him but Jason and Zeke grabbed him before her could.

"Man Landon is an ass." Chad said.

"Yeah and he was only doing that to piss me off as always." Troy said as he hugged Gabriella from the back.

"Well it doesn't matter if he was I still wasn't going to let him be my date." Gabriella said.

"Yeah that's because I'm the best one ever." Troy said as the girls rolled their eyes.

"Cocky much Superstar." Sharpay said with a smirk.

"So are you." Troy said.

"True." Sharpay said as the gang laughed.

"You know Gabs that's like the 9th guys that has asked you already." Kelsi said as Troy looked at her.

"Really; who were they." Troy said as he raised his eyebrow.

"Nobody just a some people form the baseball team and drama club." Gabriella said as she looked at Kelsi with the I-thought-I- said- not-to-say-anything look and Kelsi mouthed "Sorry" to her.

"Yeah okay." Troy said as everyone laughed.

"Aww come on babe you know you're the only guy for me." Gabriella said with a smile.

"Yeah I know." Troy said as he kissed her while the guys said eww and the girls awed.

"Not to break this love moment up, but lets get to class before Ms. Darbus explodes." Zeke said as everyone walks off to homeroom.

There's the first one; how was it? Please review.
