Gabriella was cleaning around her house, while her two year old daughter was sitting at her small spider-man table eating some tator tots with ketchup. Gabriella smiled softly, "Baby, you should get dressed, Uncle Adam will be here soon to pick us up." Chloe smiled, and ran upstairs to get dressed. Gabriella sighed and there was a knock on the door and rushed over to the door and opened it to reveal Adam. "Adam!" she hugged him as he spend her around, "There's my best girl! what's going on? how are you!" he asked. Gabriella smiled, "I'm fine... I'm just so happy to get away from Drew." Adam nodded, "Don't worry, Drew won't be able to come near you or chloe."

The flight from New Jersey to Alberquerque was long and tiring. the summer was very short, and school was starting back up. Gabriella held Chloe on her hip as Adam opened the door for her. "Welcome to my home.. make yourselves at home." Gabriella smiled, "Thanks so much again for letting me stay here adam, especially with me having chloe-" "Hey, Chloe is my goddaughter.. I wouldn't have it any other way." Gabriella smiled, Adam bit his lip, "hey, and we're going out to eat with a couple friends, so make sure Chloe looks beautiful." Gabriella smiled, "okay.." she hugged Adam, "Thanks so much Adam, I just need to be away from Drew.. he threatened me again, to take chloe away from me.. "
"Hey," Adam said gently, pulling her in close for a hug, "Drew is not going to hurt you, even come near you." Gabriella bit her lip, "Adam-" "Zzt," he shushed, "Gabster, we aren't going to worry about Drew tonight..." "but-" "No 'buts'...Gabs, he isn't going to hurt you; if he comes with in 100 feet, he'll be the one getting hurt. From me." Gabriella's eyes widened, "No! Adam! I don't want you to get hurt-" "Gabs, chill...okay? Now, let's go...hope you and Chloe likes pizza." Gabriella giggled, "she loves pizza, I tolerate it." "why is that?" she shrugs, "well...it's her junk food for the week."

At Pizza Hut, Sharpay and Her Boyfriend of the week Derek, and her gay brother Ryan who is obsessed with puppies and the color pink, and Chad with his girlfriend Taylor. and Troy Bolton who was waiting for Adam to show up with his friend. "What's taking Adam so long?" Chad groaned. Sharpay was giggling with her boyfriend Derek. Ryan was filing his nails, "Maybe he went to the gym first, you know how he has to keep that rock bod of his looking good." All of them stared at him, and he smiled. Chad shook his head, and looked over, "Hey, look there they are." Troy's head snapped towards Adam and a beautiful young girl with brunette long locks, and hersey brown eyes with a 2 year old child on her hip. Troy sighed, Beautiful Girl So Beautiful...but Taken probably. He thought. Adam smiled, "Guys, this is Gabriella, my friend from when I was little, and her daughter Chloe."
Gabriella's eyes went wide, he smiled, "Don't worry.. they don't care." Gabriella nodded, smiling softly "It's nice to meet you all." Taylor smiled, "Hey, are you going to be attending East High?" Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, I..I'm very excited for it." her eyes locked with the blue eyed hottie who was looking at her, she smiled softly, and cleared her throat, "umm" she grabbed a menu and looked down at Chloe who was in the seat next to her, "Chloe, do you want some pizza?" Chloe nodded. Gabriella smiled, "Can you watch her adam while I go get a pizza?" Adam nodded. Gabriella slipped out of her seat walking to the counter. Troy cleared his throat, "I'll go help her."
Gabriella leaned against the counter, and smiled, "Yes, one large Cheese Pizza." Troy walked over to her, "Hey." she smiled warmly, "Hi." he bit his lip, "I'm Troy... we didn't formally meet.." she giggled shaking his hand, "No We didn't.. and I'm of course Gabriella." Troy smiled, this girl was so beautiful. "So umm, Adam is a nice guy." She nodded, "he is.. his the best.. his such a sweet guy for letting me stay here." Troy bit his lip, "So Chloe is your daughter?" Gabriella gulped, "Umm yeah.. she's..she's mine.." she looked down at her feet. please don't let him judge me. she thought.
Troy nodded slowly, "So uh...she uh, she premature?" he only asked cause she was so small looking. Gabriella snapped her head up and her eyes narrowed, "what?" crap. Troy shook his head, "uhm, that wasn't what I meant-" "So you meant premature as in stupid?" "NO!" Troy said quickly, his voice raising, Gabriella crossed her arms over her chest; waiting for the response. "I uh meant that...well, I-" she put up a hand to silence him, "save it all right, if your hitting on me; I don't date. I'm focusing on my daughter, my school...my future. So...back. off."
"Gabriella-" The pizza came and she grabbed it, "nice meeting you." and she turned from him walking back to the table. Troy sighed going back after her, and sitting down. Gabriella let the pizza on her plate, "Chloe, let mommy cool it for you." Chloe shook her head, "Momma.. me hungry." Gabriella giggled, and cut pieces of the pizza so she won't get burnt easily. "So Gabs.." Adam started, "did you know Chad, Me, and Troy are all on the basketball team?" "and me?" Ryan chimed in. Adam looked at him for a moment, "The Waterboy doesn't count." Ryan sighed and sat back down in his seat. Gabriella looked at Adam, and at Troy. "Yeah, that's cool." and her phone rang, she looked at the caller ID, she gulped, "A-Adam..It's drew..it's drew.." she began to panic.
Adam took her phone from her, "Whose Drew?" everyone seemed to ask at the same time, Gabriella looked down; shaking her head slowly. Chloe was watching steam rise from her pizza, "Go steam! Go! Me no want you! Me want only pizza!" Adam bit his inner cheek as Ryan grabbed Gabriella's phone. "Seriously, is this a bone head stalker or something?" "Or something..." Gabriella muttered, "Uh...Adam, me and Chloe, we'll see you at home"-she bent down with Chloe-"sweetheart, if you can take your pizza home-" "NO!" Chloe yelled, crossing her tiny arms. "Chlo-" "No! No! No! No!"
Gabriella sighed, taking her phone from Ryan and slipping it in her bag. "It was nice meeting...all of you.. but me and chloe really have to go.." she lifted up chloe struggling to get lose. and leaving with her. Adam sighed, "Will one of you go with her? to make sure she's okay?" he looked at Troy. Troy gulped, "Yeah, I guess." he muttered slipping from his seat and following Gabriella. he watched Gabriella strape Chloe in her carseat and shutting the door and getting in. Troy got into his car and drove after her.
