Review please!

It was a bright, sunny Friday morning and Gabriella Montez was getting ready for school. Everyone in her school, West High, referred to her as the 'math freak'. Gabriella was sixteen and she'd never dated or done IT with anyone before. She didn't have any friends because of those two reasons. Gabriella hated West High and always whined about changing to a new school to her mother, Ms Montez. The reason why Gabriella wasn't very comfortable with dating is because her mother always told her that all guys are bad. Gabriella's parents separated when she was just 7 because her father was cheating on her mother with another woman. She was left heartbroken ever since then.

After Gabriella brushed her hair and put on some blusher, she grabbed her bag and ran downstairs because her bus was here. "Bye, mom." She said quickly and ran to her bus. The moment she stepped in, a boy threw a paper ball at her. She frowned and sat down where she sat everyday, at the back of the bus where no one can see her. She started reading her new book, 'The Da Vinci Code' and tried to ignore the students who were making fun of her.

School went by normally. Everyone made fun of her hair, how she dressed and how much of a freak she was. But everything was about to change when she got back from school. "So, how was school today?" Ms Montez asked her daughter, grinning.

"Terrible. As always." Gabriella replied, sighing.

"Well, I've got a surprise for you." Ms Montez said.

"Please tell me I'm changing to a new school." Gabriella said.

"You're changing to a new school."

"Mom, please stop joking."

"No, really. We're moving to Albuquerque and you're going to a new school next Monday! I've already signed you up. We're moving because I got a new job there."

"No way! This is great news, mom!" Gabriella jumped up and down and hugged her mother. And then suddenly she frowned. "But what if nothing changes there, mom?"

"Honey, I promise everything will change. This is what you wanted and now you got it!"

"Alright… so what's the school's name?" Gabriella asked.

"Just change the 'West' to 'East'" Ms Montez said.

"East High? Really? That's like the school that's competing with West High in everything!"

Next Monday, Gabriella and her mom were all set go to Albuquerque. They arrived in Albuquerque at 4 pm and some men helped them to move all their stuff with a big truck.

"Mom, this house is awesome! I can't wait to see my new school…" Gabriella said.

"Don't worry, you'll go there tomorrow." Ms Montez replied.

The next morning, Gabriella's stomach was aching. She always has stomach aches when she's nervous. But she got ready for her new school and hoped for the best. "I'm gonna try to fit in." She mumbled to herself and went downstairs to the living room. "Mom, I'm so nervous…" She said.

"Gabby, you're gonna be fine. Just try to talk to people more; I'm sure East High's much better." She kissed Gabriella's forehead. "Now off you go, the bus is here."

"Okay. Wish me luck…" Gabriella said as she headed for the school bus.

Gabriella's POV

Alright, Gabby. You can do this. Step in the bus. This isn't West High! I stepped in the bus and saw lots of students. Everyone stared at me. I froze. What was I doing?! Get a seat, Gabriella! I walked along and tried to find a seat. There was one beside an African-American girl who was looking out the window. Should I ask her if I could sit here? What if she says no? Wait. Remember what mom said. "Excuse me, can I sit here?" I asked.

"Oh sure. Seat's not taken." She replied, smiling. I sat beside her. "You're new, huh? You'll like East High. What's your name?" She asked.

"I'm Gabriella Montez. What about you?"

"Taylor McKessie." She replied.

"Awesome to meet you." I said. We chatted the whole way.

When we arrived, Taylor showed me around the school and warned me about Sharpay Evans. Taylor said she was the most popular and the meanest girl in school. She said I should keep away from her and her boyfriend Troy Bolton. She said he was also really popular and all the girls wanted him. I haven't seen him yet but I've seen Sharpay and she gave me a cold stare. So when the school bell rang, Taylor and I went to our class. And that's when I saw Troy Bolton. He was really cute. No wonder all the girls are after him. Then behind him came Sharpay. She hugged Troy and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Then she walked towards me. "Who are you and why are you always staring at me?" She asked. I didn't know what to say! If I just keep quiet, everyone's just going to treat me like the people back in West High.

"Why would I want to stare at you?" I said. Then I froze. Everyone in the class stared at me. I've never stood up for myself before. "I told you to keep away from her…" Taylor whispered. "Well, maybe because you're lesbian or something." Sharpay said and waited for the class to laugh. And they did.

"Believe me, if I were lesbian, you're the last thing I would want to stare at." I told her. And the whole class burst out laughing.

Sharpay frowned and walked off to her seat. "Chill, babe." Troy told her. He was laughing too. "Wow, I can't believe you said that to Sharpay! No one's ever done that." Taylor told me. "You've got real guts." Then one of the girls from the 'popular table' invited me to a party that night. "So are you coming?" She asked.

"I'll be there." I smiled. This was going great!

End of POV

But little did she know that the party was going to be at a nightclub!
