Heyy everybody!! The first chapter went over great! Thanks to autumnamberleaves, penny, Heaven and Earth, and xxxPrincessJololaxx for the awesome reviews! But more would be appreciated!! This next one is Gabriella's chapter, and I've drawn some inspiration from my life right now, such as Homecoming (tomorrow for me! Go Orioles!!) and our wonderful Wisconsin weather!! Enjoy!

1)

Gabriella hated moving.

Eight schools in eleven and a half years.

It wasn't much of a secret, but she tried not to complain about it. Everyone knew she moved a lot, and she didn't like to bother them with pointless complaints.

But she hated it.

Whenever her mom got promoted, she tried to act happy for her, but she was already mentally saying her goodbye's, and packing up her room.
When she moved to East High, she actually didn't believe her mom, when she said they wouldn't move, until she actually graduated.

2)

Gabriella had never made friends faster or closer than she did at East High.

She got to meet Troy before she even started, and Taylor pretty much just appointed herself best friend to Gabriella.

She didn't mind at all; it was actually a nice change from what she was used to. People were nice to her because she was new, or they just were bored with everyone else at their school. She rarely met people who were really and truly her friends. She was even closer with Sharpay and Ryan at the end of the school year than she was with some people who called her "friend" at her old school.

3)

Gabriella had never had a boyfriend, or her first kiss before she met Troy.

She was shy, which didn't help, and her being smarter than most of the boys, didn't make her very popular. And she just didn't understand boys, so she didn't spend much time thinking about or losing sleep over them.

So she really didn't know what to expect or what to do when she and Troy started going out. But he made it seem simple, and she barely worried at all when she was around him.

4)

The main reason she didn't have much experience with boys was because the lack of males in her life.

Her dad had died when she was only 4 years old, and she barely remembered him. Because of this, she was sometimes mystified by the behaviors of boys, even more than the other girls. (Because boys always did weird things.)

She didn't have an older sister like Taylor did, to give her tips. She didn't have a lot of male cousins near her age, like Kelsi did. She didn't have a brother like Sharpay did.

So most things that boys did were just weird, and not understandable.

5)

Gabriella didn't always like school.

Before her mom started moving all the time, she was content with just playing with friends, and didn't really care about school.

But when they were constantly moving, friends weren't always definite, and she didn't join any sports or clubs, she threw herself into her homework. Then she realized that she was pretty smart, and started to focus more on her studies than really anything else.

It ended up giving her a really high GPA, but not many friends.

6)

Gabriella was jealous of Kelsi.

Everyone always admired Gabriella's voice, and said it was a beautiful instrument. But it was just singing. What Kelsi was able to do was amazing. Playing the piano seemed as easy as breathing to the smaller girl, and she did it with complete ease. Gabriella had taken lessons, and knew the basics, but never had really mastered playing. Whenever she did, it took a lot of concentration, and it wasn't much fun.

What Gabriella wanted more than anything was to be able to play an instrument like Kelsi did.

7)

Gabriella didn't really like reading fiction.

For school, obviously she had to read a lot, and she didn't mind that. But to just sit down and read a novel didn't appeal to her. She didn't like fantasy and fiction, because it painted such a lovely picture that never came true. Always a happy ending. Completely opposite of what happened in real life.

She enjoyed biographies, and books about historical events. When she went to the kareoke party, she was reading about Amelia Earhart.

When she put the book down though, she entered a world that she thought was only in fantasy books. After that, she read those books more often.

8)

Gabriella had never gone to a homecoming.

She always was moving, obviously, and she always seemed to miss it.

When she went to East High's she was blown away.

She had never seen so much red and white in her life. Or school spirit.

She hadn't taken the dress-up days seriously, and felt very out of place when everyone else came dressed full out.

She swore that when senior year came around, she would get into it a lot more.

9)

The one thing Gabriella hated about being at East High, or rather living in New Mexico was the lack of snow.

She loved snow, and it didn't feel like winter when there wasn't snow on the ground. And Christmas? Forget about it! That's why she was glad that she got to go to the ski lodge for the holidays, with one last chance to be in a snowy winter.

Her favorite place to live had been Wisconsin, because they had plenty of snow for the winter. They actually had two snow days that winter, and three days off because it was too cold out!

Now that was what she called a winter.

10)

Gabriella hated the color pink.

She knew it was a girly color, but she always associated it with the popular, airheaded girls. She decided that that wasn't always the case, and didn't judge girls just because they wore a lot of pink.

Then she met Sharpay.

Haha! I personally liked the last one! Did you? R&R and tell me please!

Sharpay is up next, I think!
