"Gabi, I think we should talk." Neil told his girl friend for two years.
"Why does this feel like a bad thing?" Gabriella asked worried.
"Because it is," Neil sighed, "look, you know how much I love you and that I really care about you."
"Yeah..."
"But," Neil started, "I'm moving tomorrow Gabi, and I don't want you to go through the pain of a long distance relationship."
"So you're saying..." Gabriella stopped and wiped a tear.
Neil walked up to her, and wiped the tear with his thumb. He took one look into her wet eyes, and embraced her.
"I love you Gabi."
"I love you too." She whispered.

September 18, 2007.
Gabriella Montez got out of bed, it was the second week of school, and already she was tired of it. Shes usually looking forward to it, but ever since her break-up, everyone was talking. Even two weeks in. She walked into her closet and got out grey pleated skirt, a black polka dotted shirt, and white flats. She set it on her bed, and slowly made her way into her bathroom. Since her body was used to waking up early, even when she didn't want to, she had a lot of time to get ready. She pushed the brush in her loose curls, took a little from the front, and pinned it back. She applied her eyeliner, and lip gloss, and got dressed. She added a necklace and a bracelet. Once she did so, she made her way to her car, and drove to school.
"Hey Gabs." Her best friend Taylor McKessie greeted once Gabriella walked through the doors of East High.
"Hey Tays." Gabriella smiled.
"It's been two weeks of school, what could you possible be upset about?" Taylor asked when Gabriella gave her the most fake smile she ever seen in her life.
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and opened her locker. Taylor decided not to push it any further, and sighed.
The girls made their way to class and took their seats. There Troy Bolton and Chad Danforth walked in, loudly. Gabriella's been in this school for two years and still had yet to talk to him. She talked to Chad once, it was because he dropped something, and she had picked it up. But that was it. Then Sharpay and Ryan Evans walked in. Gabriella talked to them a couple times, but they didn't seem to like her very much. Either they didn't, or they had a werid way of showing they did. The only real friend she had was Taylor.
The day went pretty fast that day, and was now the end of the day. Since Gabriella was too lazy to go to her locker, she walked out of school, with only her binder. And Taylor walking besides her.

The basketball team were seated on a table outside in the court yard like they did everyday.
"It's so boring this year."
"Jason, we only been in school for two weeks." Zeke commented.
"Still." Jason mumbled.
"Well then," Kim, a cheerleader started, "Lets do something."
"Like what?" Troy asked.
"Truth or dare."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes Troy I am."
They played, and had to do some really weird, and random things. Like walk up to some random girl and ask for her phone number, or go up to some random class room, and ask the teacher some weird stuff. It was all pretty easy, until Troy's turn came along.
"I bet that you can't get the next girl to walk around that corner to go out with you for more then a month." Chad challenged.
"I bet other wise." Troy said.
"Well then, I dare you to go out with the next girl to walk around that corner for a month. And you have two weeks to do so." Chad said pointing to a corner.
"And if I do?"
"Twenty bucks."
"And if I don't?"
"We'll think of something."
Troy sighed and looked at who the lucky girl would be. Once he turned around he saw a girl dressed in black, with dark curly hair. He seen her before, but didn't know where.
"Well Troy, I guess you're going out with Gabriella Montez." Kim smiled.
"You know her?"
"Yeah, shes pretty cool."
Troy looked at the girl once more before headed over to her.
"Hi." He said once he reached her.
She stopped and looked at Taylor before answering.
"Uh, hi?" She said, the 'hi' coming out more in a question way.
"Troy."
"Gabriella." She said shaking his hand.
"Listen, I was you from over at my table, and wondered if you wanted to go out with this weekend."
"Umm, I don't know." Gabriella said looking down.
"Oh, well.." Troy said taking a piece of paper from a girl sitting at a table and wrote something on it, "Heres my number, call me if you change your mind."
"I will." Gabriella smiled and took it.
With one finale smile, Troy made his way back to the table.

"So?" Chad asked.
"He didn't get it." Kim laughed.
"Well so what if I didn't. I still have two weeks." Troy stated.

Two nights later Taylor was sleeping over Gabriella's house since it was the weekend. They were sitting around Gabriella's room watching tv when something caught Taylor's eye in Gabriella's binder. She walked over to it, and saw it was Troy's number. She knew it was his, because he wrote it on a orange piece of paper.
"You still haven't call him?"
"Call who?" Gabriella asked, and looked up from painting her toe nails. "Oh, him."
"Yes, him."
"Why should I, I mean it's Troy Bolton."
"Exactly!" Jennifer, who was on speaker phone, "If what you guys told me is true, then he has to be hot."
"But thats my point Jen," Gabriella started, "Why would he want to go out with me all of a sudden."
"Who cares?!"
"Well Gabi, as your best friend here," Taylor said.
"And your best friend from Washington." Jennifer stated.
"You should at lease call him." They both said.
Gabriella sighed in defeat and got up. She got her cell phone and called the number.
"He better be as cute as you guys say." Jen's voice filled the room.
"Shut up!" Gabriella hissed.
"Sorry."
"Hey Troy? Hi, it's Gabriella."
"Oh, hey. Whats up?"
"I can't believe I'm saying this but. Are you still up for this weekend?" Gabriella said closing her eyes.
"Yeah, of course. Tomorrow say five-ish?" Troy asked.
"Sounds good, I'll see you later." Gabriella said hanging up.
"You guys better not be wrong about this." Gabriella muttered.
"You guys better send me pictures." Jen laughed.
Gabriella shook her head and threw self down on her bed.
