Gosh. It's like I completely forgot about this story. And it was one of my favorite's. I just had writer's block, but lemme tell you. I don't any more. Hope you forgive me for not updating for like NINE EFFIN MONTHS! Sheesh I'm sooo terribly sorry guys. I'll try and make it long, or update 2 chapters! Enjoy! (oh and sorry i updated last time it said chapter 1...man im stupid! sorry!)

Chapter 4

I woke up the next morning, with my alarm clock blaring and with a new attitude. I was going to try and forget Troy. He was a jerk. Why? Because a) he forgot my name b) he ditched me to make out with his girlfriend and c) he ditched me while I was at his house so he could talk to his girlfriend.

I stretched and rubbed my eyes trying to wake up. I turned off my alarm clock then made my bed. I got up and went into my bathroom to take a nice hot shower, to see if that would make me up anymore. I walked out and put on a pair of old faded blue jeans and a long black shirt that hung to my thighs.

I put on some lip gloss, and some mascara. I decided that I didn't want to put on my contacts, so I just put on my glasses. I looked sophisticated. I may not have looked like the nerd I was about 1 year ago with jeans and just some old t-shirt.

I walked downstairs and grabbed a protein bar. "Hey sweetie." my mom said filling her coffee mug.

"Hey mom." I said as I chewed on my protein bar. I never really ate breakfast.

"So, how was the Boltons'. I asked you last night, but you rushed upstairs so quickly I guess you didn't hear me. Then I went upstairs and you were fast asleep." she said looking at me, to sit down at the table.

"Oh. It was....boring." I said honestly, "Really...I think I'm just going to do the project on my own. Or just...figure something else out." I told her honestly. I normally don't lie to my mom, and really she cares about my grades so I might as well tell her the truth.

"I see..." she said, "Well why don't I call Troy's mother and see if we can work things out?" she asked.

"No. It's fine...I think I'm gonna stop by Troy's today after school if he's still willing to work and see where it goes from there." I explained and my mom nodded.

"Okay honey. Sounds good." she said, "Well I'm off. I have an important case to work on today." she said kissing my forehead quickly and walked out the door in a flash.

I finished up my protein bar and threw away the wrapper. I applied a light amount of lip gloss and I walked off to school. Even though I had my own truck that my daddy had gotten me 3 years ago (even though I couldn't drive)...I didn't want to drive it. He had died about 1 and half years ago in a car accident. I never really told that to anyone except for Taylor.

I walked on and a car slowed down. "Hey..." a guy said.

"Uhm...hi?" I said and I looked at the boy. He went to my school, and I never really did know him.

He was a skater at East High. Maybe not with the skater clothes...but he sure did have the hair. I looked at him. He had long, dark brown hair, with an angular face. He had deep green eyes. He was cute.

"You're...Gabriella Montez right?" he asked and I nodded.

How did he know who I was? Oh well...I didn't care. He was...well...as any girl would say....HOT! "I'm Adin." he said. I liked it. It was unique.

"Uh...nice meeting you." I smiled at him.

"So what are you doing walking to school?" he asked slowly driving as I walked.

"Uhm...I felt like it." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well...hop in. I don't see why I can't drive you." he winked at me and I giggled as I walked around the car as he stopped and got into the passenger seat.

"Thanks." I said as I buckled up.

"No problem." he smiled at me and we drove off.

We arrived in the parking lot and he parked as I got out getting my bag from the backseat.

"Thanks Adin." I smiled at him and he nodded.

"Hey no problem. I wouldn't want to let a cute girl walk all by herself now would I?" he laughed and I nodded, blushing a deep red. He was adorable.

"Check ya later?" he said and I nodded as he walked off.

I smiled to myself and Sharpay looked at me and I smiled. She narrowed her eyes at that and waited as I walked toward her. "What?" I said innocently already knowing what she was going to say.

"Who was that...???" she gave me a cheeky smile and I blushed.

"His name was...Adin." I smiled and she nudged me.

Third P.O.V-

With Troy-

Troy watched as Gabriella talked to Sharpay. Who was she just with? Did she have a boyfriend? Why was she in his car? What was she doing with him? Maybe they were going out....

All these thoughts ran through Troy's head. He clenched his jaw. He didn't like it. He felt bad for forgetting Gabriella's name last night. He was just...truly sorry. For some reason his mind went blank, trying to remember her name.

He watched the guy who dropped her off walk off. Who was this guy? He walked up, needing and wanting to talk to Gabriella.

He walked up........

GABRIELLA'S P.O.V

"Hey." I heard behind me. Troy. Fantastic.

"Hi." I said and Sharpay looked at me and I gave her a look that said he was not in my interest, and I actually think she believed me.

"Look...I'm really sorry..." Troy said and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I am too." I said sarcastically.

"I was wondering if you'd like to actually work on the project at my house....tonight. And my brother...Dylan wanted you to come over. Apparently you did something to get him to love you. Every girl I bring home...he absolutely despises. But you...I don't know." he shrugged and I looked at him. Did he mean this? Yeah...uh rightt..

"Fine. I'll see you later." I shrugged.

Quick update. I'll upate either tomorrow or like in a couple of hours. Review. Enjoy!
