Sixteen year old Troy Bolton walked into his Albuquerque home after his long day at school. He went into the kitchen and found his mother looking through a cabinet. Troy walked up to her and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Hi mom" Troy said opening the refrigerator and unscrewing a bottle of water.
"Hey Troy, how was school?" Lucille Bolton asked her son.
"The usual. The teachers try to teach and give a load of homework" Troy said.
"Troy it's called learning. Anyway, we have new neighbors that moved in next door and they are coming over for dinner tonight" Lucille told her son.
"Cool. What time are they coming?" Troy asked.
"They are coming at about 6. Go do your homework and take a shower before they get here" Lucille said.
Troy left the kitchen and started on his homework. He was a junior at East High(do not own) and on the varsity basketball team. His father, Jack Bolton was the coach. Troy and his father both shared their love of basketball which made their relationship strong. An hour later, Troy finished his homework and jumped into the shower, he came out about a half hour later. The doorbell rang as soon as he threw his clothes into the hamper in the laundry room.
"Hi, Maria" Lucille said as she welcomed the new family in.
"Hi, Lucille. This is my husband Greg and my daughter Gabriella" Maria said.
"This is my husband, Jack and my son Troy" Lucille said as they walked into the family room.
"How old are you Gabriella?" Jack asked Gabriella curiously.
"I'm sixteen" Gabriella answered shyly.
"So am I! So your a junior right?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. I'm going to start going to school at East High on Monday" Gabriella said.
"That's awesome. I hope we have a class together" Troy said smiling.
The two teenagers continued to get to know each other until they were called for dinner. They sat at the table and talked about Gabriella going to East High.
"Gabriella, what's your favorite subject?" Jack asked her.
"My favorite would have to be Chemistry. I love science. What's yours, Troy?" Gabriella asked.
"Mine would probably be basketball. I'm the team captain of the Wildcats at school" Troy said proudly.
The two families finished dinner and Troy and Gabriella exchange numbers so they could hang out sometime after school. The Montez family left a little while after and Jack started the conversation.
"So Troy, you better go to bed since you have school tomorrow" Jack said.
"Okay, Dad" Troy said as he was texting on his phone to Gabriella.
Troy put his phone in the charger, brushed his teeth and got into bed and thought about his new friend. The next morning, Troy's alarm went off at 6. He got up, dressed himself, and walked downstairs.
"Troy you better hurry, or you will be late for school" Lucille told her son.
Troy kissed his mother and left the house. Troy got into his car and drove to Gabriella's. Troy got out and knocked on the door. Gabriella answered the door.
"Need a lift to school?" Troy asked.
"Sure, thanks Troy" Gabriella said grabbing her bag and walking to his car.
"The office is the first door on the left, I will see you later" Troy said smiling at her.
Gabriella followed Troy's directions and walked into the office. A few minutes later, Gabriella walked out with her books and found her locker. She opened her locker and put all her books into it. Gabriella scanned her schedule to see what class she had. She walked to the room number, took a deep breath and walked into the room. Gabriella handed the teacher her schedule and the teacher introduced her.
This is Gabriella Montez, she's a new student here. Please make her feel welcome" Ms. Shields said.
Gabriella spotted Troy and smiled at him. He returned it and motioned her to sit next to him.
"Hey, so we have a class together" Troy said.
"Yeah, I guess we do" Gabriella said listening to Ms. Shields talk about Geometry.
"Can anyone tell me the formula for the pythagorean theorem?" Ms. Shields asked the class.
Silence filled the classroom. Gabriella raised her hand knowing the answer. She loved geometry.
"Miss Montez?" Ms. Shields called.
"A squared plus b squared equals c squared" Gabriella answered.
"Correct" Ms. Shields said.
The bell rang and all the students filed out of the classroom. Troy and Gabriella walked to the cafeteria and Troy waved to his friend.
"Come on, I want you to meet a few people" Troy said taking her hand.
Troy and Gabriella walked over to the table. They had three people staring at them.
"Guys, this Gabriella Montez, she just moved here" Troy said introducing her to his friends.
"I'm Chad. I love basketball, I'm co-captain with Troy" Chad said as he introduced himself.
"I'm Taylor. I heard you like Chemistry, you should join the decathlon team" Taylor said.
"I'm Kelsi, I hope you audition for the musical it's going to be awesome" Kelsi said.
"Whoa guys, chill. It's only her first day" Troy said.
The bell rang and everyone hurried back to class. A couple hours later, school was out. Troy drove Gabriella home.
"So first day thoughts?" Maria asked her daughter as her and Troy went into the kitchen.
"It's big" Gabriella simply said.
"Yeah, but you will get used to it, Gabriella" Maria said.
"Will you be staying for dinner, Troy?" Greg asked.
"No, thank you, Mr. Montez. I have a lot of homework and I have practice later" Troy explained.
Troy gave Gabriella a hug and left. Gabriella walked into the kitchen and saw her mother and father talking.
"Troy seems very nice" Maria said.
"Yeah, he is" Gabriella said.
Gabriella walked upstairs and started her homework. She got distracted though by thinking of her new blue eyed friend. Was she developing feelings for Troy? She just met him a couple days ago.
