Over the years I have gained many, many friends. Some have always been there and some just faded away, but there always felt like something is missing. Like my heart wasn't complete, like there was something out there for me that I need. Now I know what it was and I'm here to tell my story of how, I Gabriella Montez, found what I was missing. So let the story begin...
It started on the first day of June after my last day of school. I was talking to one of my best friends, Taylor.
"Gabriella, my boyfriend from Albuquerque is coming to town tonight and he is bringing his best friend. I was wondering if maybe you could ask your parents if he could stay with you?" Taylor asked me.
"Alright but he better be cute if they say yes." I laughed as we headed to her house.
"I'm sure he is." Taylor added as we walked into my house and into my parent's room.
"Mom dad, can I ask you a question…" I started.
"What is it hun?" my mom asked.
"Well Taylor's boyfriend is coming to town tonight and I was just wondering if his friend could stay in the guest room." I asked, using the puppy dog face my parents can't deny.
"Alright, but he has to sleep in the guest room." My dad said.
"Daddy!" I yelled.
"Alright baby doll go get him so we can meet him." My dad told me.
"Thanks daddy bye!" I said to them and pulled Taylor out the door.
"Ok so Chad is going to be here at seven…" Taylor said.
"Sorry I cant come I have to go shopping tonight but send him over at eight." I said.
"Ok bye then." Taylor yelled half way down the street.
"Ok bye!" I yelled back.
Then I started to grab some stuff together and took off to the mall to buy a dress for my cousin's wedding. The dress I chose is beautiful. I got home and put it on to try it out. It fit perfect. Then I realized it was five to eight. I was about to take the dress off when the doorbell rang. I ran down and opened it to reveal a tall, brown-haired boy my age standing nervously outside looking at his feet.
"hi." I spoke quietly, but he quickly shot his head up and I saw the most beautiful, shocking blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Hey… um, I'm Chad's friend, you must be Gabriella." He said.
"Yes… I'm Gabriella, Gabriella Montez, nice to meet you." I said.
"Pleasure is mine. I'm Troy, Troy Bolton." He said it in a way that made me laugh.
"I didn't think my name was that funny." He said and grinned.
"Troy, it was just the way you said it." I told him.
"Oh yea ok I gotcha…" He said smirking.
"Well are you going to stand out here all day or are you going to come in and take a seat so I can get to know you a little more?" I asked him and he walked in behind me and sat down across from me on the couch. That was when I realized I was still in my dress.
"Um… excuse me. I was trying on a dress for my cousin's wedding I should go change." I said a bit shyly.
"Alright but let me just say, it looks lovely on you." Troy said making me blush. Thank god I was turned around. I headed up to my room and change into sweats and a T-shirt. Then I put my hair in a messy bun and headed back down.
"So Troy, what do you like to do?" I asked and we started a long conversation. Neither of us seemed uncomfortable with each other… It was natural.
