Hey everyone! So I know it has been so long since I've updated any story, and I am so sorry. I've had writers block for pretty much all of them. This is a storyline that I created from another story and I am kinda obsessed with it right now. It kind of relates to Absolute Perfection, but it isn't all about Gabriella and Troy getting together. Anyway, I hope you like it!
An Elite Life
Chapter 1
Westside Dance Academy.
Arguably the best dance school in the country. Three months ago, if you would've told Troy Bolton that he would spend hours and hours a week there, he would've thought you were crazy. However, if you had told him that he would be the boyfriend of arguably the best dancer in the country, he wouldn't have thought of you as crazy. He would have thought you we out of your damn mind.
But there he was. Wrapped up in a world he didn't even know existed until the girl he had fallen so hard for told him about it, three months prior. He plopped down on one the couches, which were placed outside what many might call the most exclusive dance studio ever. The other couch was already occupied by another guy is age, whom he greeted with a fist pound.
"How's it goin man?" Troy asked Chad, the guy whom he'd grown to think of as a brother.
"No complaints. So did she tell you about senior ditch day?" Troy sighed, and ran his hand through his hair. He had heard about it, and he'd been dreading it.
"Yeah. You'll take…"
"Of course dude." Troy smiled, a sense of relief flowing through his veins. This was why he liked Chad so much. He had been such a good friend to his girlfriend, and had never let her down. He was the one who had taken care of her during her days that could only be described as wild. So to put it lightly, Troy was grateful for Chad. However, Chad couldn't stop guys from staring at his girlfriend in the bikini he knew she'd be wearing, and that is something that haunted him.
However, he couldn't blame them. She was perfect. Every guy who met her wanted her. When they had started dating he thought her friends would be surprised at the fact that she was dating an actor. However, the primary reaction had been 'Gabriella would get the guy millions of girls want.' It seemed to be that more people were shocked that he got her. But after one week together, he knew what all these people were talking about.
It was then that Gabriella Montez walked out of the dance studio. As usual, a wide smile came across his face. He couldn't help but look her up and down. Her hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, just the way he liked. As always, she was wearing a black leotard, that dipped down to show a perfect amount of cleavage. Falling right between her breasts was a long chain, which held her prized possession at the end. A diamond encrusted pendant that she had worked over ten years for. While the necklace meant the world to Gabriella, to everyone else it meant only one thing.
That she was an Elite dancer.
Only five other girls in all of Westside Dance Academy had one like it. And only 200 girls in the entire country wore necklaces that meant the same thing. But none were as valuable as intricate as the one that hung around the necks of Westside Dance Academy's Elite dancers.
It was her perfect and slim waist that Troy couldn't help but stare at, but if he had looked to his right, his eyes would have caught something else. A ring on her finger that could only be described as a rock. Some thought it was a class ring. Others guessed it to be engagement ring (which made Troy turn bright red). But it was neither.
It was a ring that showed the world that she and her five teammates were the best. It was a championship ring. A national championship ring, to be more specific.
The light blue stone radiated off of Gabriella's finger, and it wouldn't be removed unless she won another championship next month, which would lead it to be replaced by a new one.
It had been something that Troy complained about, for he had been longing to buy her a promise ring. She had simply replied, 'If you want me to take off this ring, get me a diamond ring.' That shut him up. Even though he loved her, he was still a typical 19-year old boy. The thought of marriage scared the shit out of him. Plus, he would have to make about 20 more movies to afford an engagement ring that would suit Gabriella.
Troy knew how lucky he was. He had the love of Gabriella Montez. But Gabriella knew she was the lucky one. Which is why a smile as big as her boyfriend's appeared on her face when she saw him.
She had a boyfriend who willingly joined what had been dubbed 'The Boyfriends Club.' Who brought food to the studio, who came to her due to the fact that she didn't have the time to drive to his house on a daily basis, and thought of her as more than an Elite dancer. He saw past the pendant that hung around her neck and the ring that rested on her finger. It wasn't the flexibility he loved, it was the passion. It was when he told her that he would love her if it was math that she was so dedicated to, did she truly know that she was the luckiest girl in the world.
Troy immediately made his way to his girlfriend, before taking her into his arms and placing a soft, chaste kiss on her lips.
"Ugh! You guys are so gross!" They pulled away to see the always blunt blonde walk out of the dance studio, and make her way to her boyfriend.
"Thanks Shar," Troy replied, narrowing his eyes at his girlfriend's best friend, as she sat down on Chad's lap.
"Seriously. Like can you guys not be the perfect couple for five minutes?" Both Gabriella and Troy rolled their eyes, not knowing how else to respond. Because it was true. Everyone knew it.
"How was rehearsal?" Troy asked his girlfriend, as they made their way out of the studio hand in hand, after saying their goodbyes to their two friends.
"Tiring," she replied, leaning into to him. Truthfully, he had known that since she walked out of the studio. He knew her that well. "And Molly's pissed at me." Troy rolled his eyes. He couldn't stand the woman who owned the studio. Yeah, she was the main reason as to why Gabriella was so successful, but he hated how much pressure he put on her.
"Why?"
"You know how she is. She was in a bad mood and took it out on me."
"Yeah. I'm sorry baby."
"It's okay. What about you?" she asked as they got in her car, Troy in the drivers seat.
"What about me?"
"How was your day?"
"The usual. Uneventful. I did have an intense game of Halo with some kid from Iowa though," he replied, leading her to shake her head and laugh.
"You're such a loser."
"No. Just unemployed. I thought dating the daughter of a studio-head…" As soon as the words came out of his mouth his arm was met with his girlfriend's fist. Yes, Gabriella's father, Greg Montez, was the head of a movie studio. Warner Brothers to be exact. In fact, Greg was the reason Gabriella and Troy had met. Troy was in a meeting with Greg about upcoming projects. Gabriella had interrupted, freaking out, because she had left her iPod in his car. As soon as he saw her run into the office in her leotard, tights, and booty shorts, he was hooked. Gabriella, on the other hand barely noticed him. It wasn't until Greg invited Troy to a Laker game, did he and Gabriella speak. They went on their first date the next day.
"Oww!" Troy exclaimed, rubbing his arm.
"You deserved it."
"Yeah, yeah," he replied. "So, what do you want to do tonight?" Gabriella just shrugged. "How about we go back to my place, order Chinese, put in a movie, and you won't hear the words 'Elite', 'Molly', or 'dance', for the entire night." A wide smile came across Gabriella's face.
"Sounds perfect."
Please Review! Next chapter will be more about Gabriella and her life as a dancer. There will be more Sharpay and you will meet her other teammates. But there will obviously be some Troyella in it to.
