Chapter One
(Nodody's POV)
The chequered white flag came down, she hit the accelerator and slammed the car into gear. " Yes " she silently screamed to herself. " for once a good start, now lets win this thing" She steered the car with complete control, never leaving first place. As soon as the other racers knew who they were racing against, the panicked, and they panicked big time. They knew they were in for a hard race.
The tyres squealed as she came round the corner almost at the finishing line. She hit the accelerator hard one more time and came over the line first. She slowly stopped her car, jumped out and waved to the crowd, who were screaming loudly. Yet again she had held on to her championship.
(Gabriella's POV)
Now before I start, you might need to know a few details about me.
Name: Gabriella Montez
Age: 17
Date of birth: 4th of February
Status: Single
School: East High
I have long hair, it's a lovely dark brown colour and is always curly. I have big brown chocolate eyes. I am petite and I look like a Latina. That's from my mum's side. I don't have a boy-friend.
I have three best friends, Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi. Taylor is the most trustful of all three of them, she is sensible and always reliable. Sharpay is obsessed by pink. If it doesn't have pink on, she won't buy it. G--, she even dresses her dog up in pink. Kelsi is the best friend anyone could ask for, kind considerate and quiet. Wait till you see her at a sleep over though. These are my besties and with out them I couldn't live. Also there is one secret that we all have and it's about me. I am a racer. As in car racer and I'm ok at it. I belong to an street racer club, it's called Midnight racers. It's completely secret so shhhhhh. I go every Satuday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even though they aren't racers, Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi always come with me. I mean us girls need our support don't we.
At the club we have rankings. I'm the youngest there and I'm ranked top. I don't think that means anything but all the girls think it does, so does everyone else actually. Nobody at school even knows I race or that the club even exsists. One of my best guy friends goes there. Pete. He spoils me rotten always "buying" new stuff for my car.
Another thing that happens we have to dress up. Not like sluts or anything. But you have to have your mid-riff shown at all times, also a lot of leg and some cleavage. (Parents know I race, they don't know how I dress when I go there though) When we go there the boys don't see us as sluts but racers who come here to race and nothing else. I keep my car there seeing as I don't have a big enough garage at home for it. My parents know I race and belong to a club and they don't mind. Let's just say we are rich so it isn't as though we can't afford a garage, I just like to be like everybody else. Nobody at school knows we are rich but still.
I go to East high and I love it. It has all the cliques of a normal high school but everyone stays out of each others way. You had the nerds, me and my friend's category. The jocks; Troy Bolton and all his cronies. The cheerleaders; Stacey and her spastics (No offense to anyone who is a cheer-leader. This is purely for the sake of the story. I actually really like cheer-leaders) the Goths, the skaters and the drama freaks.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"No, not now, it's too early" Gabriella mumbled to herself burying her face into her pillow even more.
"Gabriella Montez, get your ass out of that bed now or the buckets coming up" yelled a female voice with a Spanish accent up the stairs
"Alright, alright. I'm up, happy now." She shouted back
"Off course, darling" her mum Maria laughed
(Nobody's POV)
Gabriella rolled out of bed hitting her head on the bed-side table as she went. She walked slowly into the bathroom rubbing her head as she did so. She pulled of her tank-top and her short shorts of and stepped into the shower. The hot water pummelled down her spine as she reached out for her shampoo. She put a small dollop on her hand and gently began massaging it into her hair. After she did this, she lent back and rinsed all of the foam out of her hair. She then proceeded onto conditioner. Soon she turned of the shower and stepped out of the shower and grabbed a white fluffy towel and wrapped it round her petite frame. She went to her drawer and got out clean lace under-ware and put it on. She then walked to her walk-in wardrobe and took out a knee length grey skirt and a crisp, white fresh blouse, she pulled the blouse over her head and then went to find a pair of shoes to complete the outfit. She then reached over and got her school bag of her desk chair and went down stairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs she heard the honking of a horn outside. She ran into the kitchen, grabbed an apple, kissed her mum bye and ran out of the front door into the awaiting car.
"Bye babes, see you tonight" her mum called through the door.
(Gabriella's POV)
Does she have to say that out loud all the time, I mean come on, I am 16. She ran to the car and opened the door muttering to herself as she did so.
"Hey girl, what's up" yelled Sharpay struggling to be heard over the loud classical music playing in the car.
"Nothing, what about you and Taylor" I yelled back
(Nobody's POV)
Taylor didn't reply concentrating on pulling out on to the road safely. She looked left and right and as she was pulling out slowly, she heard a loud horn honking behind her car. She turned around and looked as a sports car with a young teenage boy driving raced past, the wheels squealing as they turned the corner.
"Jerks" muttered Taylor under her breath
"I know right" Gabriella replied "I could totally take that corner better than he just did"
"Gabs, we know you could, that's why you race remember" replied Taylor and Sharpay
"Apparently we have a new guy joining us in 2 weeks" said Gabriella turning down the radio as she did so
"Really" shrieked Sharpay "I hope he's dead hot"
"Well, we'll find out soon" the Latina girl replied
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The car pulled up suddenly outside a fountain with a giant E on top of a pillar in it. (Just imagine the front of East High in HSM) Taylor manoeuvred the car into a parking space. She then put the hand-brake on, removed the keys and stepped out of the car grabbing her school bag which was on the passenger seat floor as she went. As she did this the other two girls stepped out of the back seat. One of the girls grey skirt rising up showing a very tanned upper leg. As this happened, suddenly a jock walked past and shrieked
"Hey, nerd, you might wanna put your leg away, it's to fat to be seen with other peoples eyes" he began laughing as he walked away
As he did so tears came to Gabriella's eyes as she questioned her friends
"Am I really fat"
Her friends replied with horror "G—no, you are like the skinniest in our school, but in a good way, I mean you still have curves and have normal sized boobs. You should be glad"
"really" Gabriella answered
"really, really" (Shrek LOL) her friends replied
The three of them linked arms and began the walk that seemed to take forever to get to the front doors of East High School.
