DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING YOU RECOGNIZE.

"Gabriella!" was hollered as soon as she made it out of the door. She looked towards the left and saw he mom, Mia Montez, waving frantically at her.

"Mom!" Gabriella exclaimed as she took off towards her. They engulfed each other into a huge hug and stood there hugging for the longest time.

"Oh Mom! I've missed you so much."

"I missed you, too, Gabriella." Ms. Montez finally noticed Gabriella's friends standing behind them. "Well hello everyone," she said while giving him or her each a hug. After making small talk, Ms. Montez helped them all load their luggage into the SUV she was renting to take them to their own houses.

Gabriella finally made it home, and she was so excited. After getting a snack and something to drink, Gabriella sat down at the kitchen table with her mom. Gabriella started to think about old time. The memory that really stood out was the water fight she had with Troy in this very kitchen a few years ago.

-Flashback-

It was a hot summer day. July 12th to be exact. The temperature outside was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead of staying by the pool, Gabriella, Troy, Chad, Taylor, Sharpay, Zeke, Jason, Kelsi, and Ryan came into Gabriella's house.

Zeke cooked them a pizza while Gabriella made them some lemonade. They were all done eating, and Gabriella was washing the dishes. Troy came over to dry the dishes for her. The rest of the gang was sitting at the kitchen table.

"You know what, Gabs?" Troy asked, using his nickname for her.

"What?"

"You look so cute washing dishes." This made Gabriella laugh, and she accidentally threw some water on Troy.

"Montez. I know you did not just wet me," Troy said trying to act mad.

"Yes, I did, but I didn't do it on purpose, Bolton."

"That's what you want me to believe." Before Gabriella could respond, Troy grabbed the sink sprayer and squirted her.

"TROY!" Gabriella shrieked. She retaliated and threw a glass of water on him. They kept going back and forth for ten minutes until finally quitting. Troy, Gabriella, and the rest of the gang began laughing hard.

"Have fun cleaning up. We're going watch TV," Taylor told the two as she led the rest o the gang into the living room.

-End Flashback-

"Gabi. Gabi!" Ms. Montez repeated finally getting her daughter's attention.

"Oh. Wh…What?"

"Spaced out?"

"Yeah," Gabriella said blushing. Ms. Montez laughed.

"So that girl Ashley. Troy's new girlfriend?"

"Yep."

"Mmmhmm. And when is Adam coming in?"

"Tomorrow."

"Are you going to answer with more than one word?"

"I don't know," Gabriella said with a smile.

"Do you want Adam to come in?"

Gabriella was quite for a few minutes. "Umm…I don't really know, Mom. He's a great guy and all, but I don't like him the way I should. He's… he's not T-T-Troy."

"Oh, Gabi. Come here," her mom said wrapping her into a hug. Five minutes later Ms. Montez started the conversation again. "Ms. Darbus called yesterday."

"Ms. Darbus? Drama teacher at East High?"

"That's the one."

"Why did she call?"

"East High's drama club needs money. Ms. Darbus is holding a music show. She called to see if you wanted to sing in it."

"Oh. Okay. I'll do it."

"Okay," Ms. Montez said as she got up to find Ms. Darbus's number. "Here's her number. She said for you to call her when you got into town."

Gabriella said she would and went into her room.

Author's Note: There is chapter two. I'm going to try to finish typing up the rest of the story this weekend, and I'll get it up once I get some reviews. So review!
