Hello! This is my first story and hope you enjoy it and you will give me some feedback!

Virginity.

noun

state or condition of being a virgin.

2. the state or condition of being pure, fresh, or unused.

3. Informal. any naive, uninitiated, or uninformed state.

That is what the dictionary defines it as. For Gabriella Montez it was a constant reminder that she was a junior in high school and still remained pure as her father would call it and he would like to make sure it stayed that way until the day she said I do to her future husband. Her father was a priest in the town of Albuquerque New Mexico and with that came a certain standard of acting and dressing when she attended school.

Gabriella looked at herself in the mirror. A pair of black ballet flats, with light washed jeans up on her long legs, a white t-shirt with a small v-neck and a beige cardigan. She was not outstanding with her clothing and she liked it that way. Her hair was long, dark and curly and rested on her back softly, her dark brown eyes framed with some mascara and eyeliner and a pink lipgloss on her lips making her look more innocent and sweet.

And right now she hated that! She wanted to be more of something. Just more.

"Gabriella! Taylor is here!" Her mother's tone sounded up the stairs. Gabriella sighs and get her shoulder bag before heading down the stairs. "Don't forget your lunch!" Her mother says and hands her the brown paper bag that contained her lunch she also handed her daughter a protein bar so she wouldn't starve before lunch and then she turns around to go out to her best friend and ride. "Bye mija!"

"Bye mom see you after school!" She shouts before heading out the door and out to her best friend's car a black audi sedan of a older model but still better than the one exciting car Gabriella had. She jumps into the passenger seat.

Taylor Mckessie. Her best friend since kindergarten. She was a afro-american with darker eye's then Gabriella and black shoulder long hair. She matched basically with her own outfit but instead of a t-shirt she wore a sweatshirt. "How are you?" She asks as she pulls out from the small lane Gabriella lived on and towards the school.

"I am fine." She answers which was true but she couldn't really explain to Taylor how she had been feeling lately because she wouldn't really understand. It wasn't that Gabriella didn't love her parents she did and they were amazing in many ways but she was more or less forbidden to date. And she wanted to experience that part of her teenage years. "How about you? Did Chad call last night?" She giggles.

Chad and Taylor had been dating for a few months but hadn't really made anything official yet but they had argued over the weekend and Chad had promised that he would call her to talk things through.

"I am good and yeah he did. We sorted things out." She explains and a smile play on her lips.

"Something more you wanna tell me?" She asks her friend that was excited about something and she could probably guess what it was.

"We made it official! He is my boyfriend!" She nearly shrieks. Jupp Gabriella could have guess, it wasn't that she wasn't happy for her friend she was but this was something she usually felt left out on. She hadn't even gotten her first kiss yet and her friends was having boyfriends, going out and living life and just did normal teenage things.

"Oh my god! That is great!" Gabriella match her friends excitement because she was happy for her and she did like Chad.

It was just that nagging feeling of her being left out, but that was soon about to change.

There was something about being the hottest guy at school. When he walked through the doors of East High on monday morning people turned around and looked at him when he came walking. Maybe he was exaggerating a bit but that was how he felt when he walked down the halls to his locker mostly the girls whispered about him when he walked past.

Troy Bolton.

Every girl wanted him and every guy wanted to be him.

He was the basketball captain of a championship winning team, senior, he was quite tall with dark blonde hair, light blue piercing eyes that made the girls weak at their knees, he was tan and fit from years of basketball. He wore a pair of black vans, dark washed jeans and red and blue checkered shirt with the arm rolled up to his elbows.

"Hey man!" His best friend greets him as he reaches his locker. Chad Danforth, tall, dark and handsome as some girls described him, was his best friend since forever, his eternal wingman even though he was of the market himself these days and probably the only one who did see through his bullshit. He had dark curly hair, a pair of matching dark brown eyes and skin. Wearing his jeans, with a blue t-shirt and grey hoodie with the arms rolled up.

"Hey dude." Troy greets his friends and opens his locker and start picking out the books he would need for the first classes. "How did it go with your girl?" He asks in a mocking tone because they were like day and night on that point, Troy didn't have girlfriends just casual sex with whomever whenever and Chad was more of girlfriend type of guy.

"It went well thank you!" He spats back at his friend. "We are officially boyfriend and girlfriend now!" He sees someone coming through the hallway making Troy turn around and sees the Taylor the girl that stole his friend's heart and her latina friend his eye narrow slightly like a hunter marking his prey. "No! Don't you even dare Bolton!" Chad starts mumbling as the girls come closer. Troy wanted a challenge and she seemed like one.

"Hey Chad!" The female voice sounds bringing them back to the hallway. Troy smiles his crooked smile to the friend who smiles shyly back to him. Taylor had wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck kissing him softly, the friend looked down on the floor.

Shy and uncomfortable he notes in his mind.

"I am Troy." He introduces himself and puts out his hand for her to shake.

"Gabriella." She replies and shakes his hand very awkwardly.

This would be fun!

Monday's was usually long and boring for Troy. But not when you have a project and that project was getting to know Gabriella Montez and get into her pants, which in afterthought might be harder than had originally had thought during the day he had found out she was the daughter of a priest and a teacher and with having a father as a priest she was basically forbidden to date and not allowed to have sex before her wedding night she had made a promise to god apparently.

He was the son of two doctors and was raised atheist. His parents was known doctors and was traveling the world to give speeches and had patients from all the world's corner come to them. So he didn't really believe in god which maybe could be hard for him to get a foot in.

But then he shakes his head. He was Troy Bolton and she would probably do anything to be close to him.

The bonfire was coming this weekend maybe he should take her there. Make her believe that she was special in his eyes.

"Hey Bolton! Its math class not daydreaming class!" He was brought back to the classroom by Mr. Walker who usually liked Troy because he was also the coach of the basketball team where Troy was the rising star. "As I was saying..." He turns back to his white board and continues on the equation he was teaching them. Troy starts scribbling down in book trying to focus on the class instead of how to get into Gabriella Montez pants!

"You can't go to the bonfire!?" Taylor almost screams throughout the cafeteria. The bonfire was tradition after the first basketball game of the season and usually Gabriella could go to it if she made it home before midnight and that was fine at least she was there!

"No dad want me to help out with the youth group." She sigh. She knows it was just bullshit he just didn't want her to go because there would be a ton a hormone filled teenage boys there who would take advantage of his sweet innocent daughter at least that what was she had overheard when her parents had discussed it last night. She sighs again because she really wanted to go because that made her feel more normal and that she blended in with the rest of the school. "I am going to talk to my mom she is usually easier to convince." She explains.

"Yeah you should! Everyone goes to this!" Taylor continues still being very upset that her best friend maybe wouldn't come to the bonfire that everyone attended.

"Tay I know! But you know how my dad is! He is a priest and very much irrational when it comes to me." She was hurt and upset about this situation just as much as Taylor was if not more. She was the one missing out on life and wouldn't have a story to tell when she got old! She couldn't wait until college and she could do whatever she wanted without her father's permission.

"Your dad sucks right now." Taylor mutters and take a bit of her apple she had in her hand.

"Trust me I know Tay. I live with the man!" Gabriella mutters back. The two friends was interrupted by a blonde girl.

Sharpay Evans. A blonde with soft brown eyes and slim body. She was wearing a bedazzled jeans skirt that was quite short and a matching pink tank top she was planning on seeing her name in the lights as soon as she had graduated from high school. She was also a good friend of Taylor and Gabriella.

"What's going on?" She asks and sits down next to Gabriella while taking out the food of her lunchbox.

"Gabriella can't come to the bonfire on friday." Taylor says before even giving Gabriella a chance to explain the situation.

"What?! Everyone goes to that!" The blonde shrieks and look at the latina girl. "Is it your dad again?" She asks knowing her father was quite hard on these kind of things.

"I know! I will talk to my mom about it and hopefully she will convince him to let me go." She explains once again glaring at her darker friend. They knew her father was different from the rest but he was a good a father to Gabriella and he was a good priest she knew that but when she had to bash him several times she felt like a bad daughter. "Can we drop this now and talk about your boyfriends or math or anything really!" She says hoping her friends will change the topic to something that wasn't her dad.

"Troy apparently thinks you are cute." Taylor informs her friend.

"Yeah because I am allowed to date so that helps me how?" She says sarcastically Gabriella was shy and timid when she met new people but when she was with her closest friend she was quite mean and talking about Troy Bolton didn't really make her any nicer.

"Just thought you would like to know.." Taylor says slowly and yeah sure it was nice to be notice but with her father being so against her dating she didn't even try asking.

She was about to tell her rebuttal but was interrupted by the bell.

She just didn't notice that the dark blonde boy had heard every word she had said. He was getting her to that bonfire.

"I will get into her pants!" He says to his best friend who just sighs wishing he would do any other girl that wasn't his new girlfriend's best friend. She would hate him if she found out he had just been standing by as his plan was unfolding in front of him.

"Troy please! She is Taylor's best friend can't you do any other girl in the school! I don't want Taylor to hate me!" He begs. But the thing with Troy is that when he has set his mind on something he was set on it. And she was the challenge he needed to get through his final year of high school.

"Look I will asks her parents very nicely about taking her to the bonfire on friday night and she will be so grateful she just have to thank me!" He explains his, according to him, genious plan that would make her fall at her knees and he would get his way.

"You are stupid if you for real that she will sleep with you just because you maybe can get her to the bonfire!" Chad shatters his plan. "She has a brain and she has a father who is a priest and probably have bought her a chastity belt." He informs his friend. "So maybe you should go after a cheerleader instead." He suggests trying to get him away from Gabriella because he will probably loose his girlfriend over it.

"You have a point." Troy agrees. "I should probably extend my time limit." He ads after a moment. "I will get her in bed before the new year! That's 3 months! Plenty off time!" He smiles to his best friend who just shakes his head again. "Then what do you suggest?!" Because he was out of ideas,

"Just leave her alone!" Chad begs again.

"Guys! Practice is starting!" Their coach shouts from the gym.

"We are not done here!" Troy informs before they run into the gym.

Because Troy always got his way!

Always.

She had stayed at school doing her homework in the library she needed some books to finish up a project that was due on wednesday. This also made her ride home was gone. But she didn't mind walking home if it wasn't for the fact that the rain had started pouring down. It was rare it happened but of course it happens when she have to walk home and it showed no sign of stopping anytime soon.

She sighs and pack up her things because she couldn't wait any longer for it to stop raining. She walks out to the hallway and towards the entrance. God she didn't want to go home in the rain but her phone was dead so she couldn't call her parents. She takes a deep breath as she opens the door but stops when she hears footsteps coming her way. She turns around and sees Troy Bolton.

"Hey! Gabriella right?" He asks her to make sure he was right even though he was sure of it but didn't want to come off as stalkerish.

"Yeah that's me." She smiles softly and turns around to go out in the rain.

"Are you walking home?" He questions.

"Yeah. My ride was Taylor and I had some things to do and my phone died so yeah I am walking." She explains to him the smile still soft and very kind.

"I am giving you are ride home." It wasn't a question it was a demand and she opens her mouth to argue on it. "Look if you go in the rain you will get sick and how will I then asks you to come to the bonfire with me?" He asks her. She looked shocked that he even had a plan to ask her. She didn't trust him though. He was well known for his way with girls.

"Well I can't go anyway so it doesn't matter." She admits.

"Yeah I heard that so I was thinking I could ask your parents and if I am driving you home I can ask when I am there." He explains. She was shocked. Could he really care about her? Was he changing? The questions was running in her head and there seemed like there was no answers to at the moment.

"Uhm… yeah okay." She answers not fully comprehending her own answer.

"Come on then." He smiles and takes her to his car.

He had taken her home and now they were sitting outside her house.

"Are you sure you want to meet my dad? He is one of a kind." She warns him before they open the doors to his car and starts the short walk that they more like ran up to her door to avoid the rain..

"How bad can the guy be?" He jokes and when Gabriella opens the door her father is already there ready to beat down Troy that stood by her side.

"Dad he just drove me home." She sighs and walks inside her house and watch over her shoulder as Troy opens his mouth to asks the dreaded question.

"Mr. Montez I wanted to ask you if Gabriella could come with me and some of our friends to the bonfire on friday night after the basketball game. She said she couldn't go and we would be really upset if she wasn't there." He explains the situation to her father and she sees that his body tenses.

"You think I will my daughter go to a bonfire with boys like you? Then you are stupid for real!" And then slams the door in Troy's face and Gabriella let out a heavy sigh.

Why did she even think it would work?
