Recap

Holy crap I thought. I was at the Bolton manor party with a guy I thought was hot and he turns about to be THE Troy Bolton. AKA the richest kid in New Mexico. I had a feeling the day was just gonna start to be interesting for me.

Gabriella's pov

I continued to stare in awe like an idiot when I noticed my mum nudge me in the rubs. Ouch I thought that woman can sure pack a power punch.

" Hello Maria" I heard Troy's dad say. He flashed her a smile and she smiled back "Hello jack" She said warmly. "Why don't you two kids get to know each other?" Mari said as she started to walk away.

I noticed Troy's dad eye him with a look but I couldn't quite make it out. Just as my mum was walking away she pushed me gently towards Troy.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. "So you're the mystery girl?" He said as she eyed me with obvious satisfaction in his voice.

"Apparently" I said as I shrugged. "Don't worry" He said as he eyed me up and down. I inwardly shivered in disgust at the way he was looking at me.

" You obviously recognized me and wanted to get your change" He said as he edged closer.

"Excuse me?" I said as I glared. "Oh it's ok I won't tell anyone" He said as he winked at me. I scoffed in disgust.

What the heck just happened? One minute he was a sweet shy guy the next he just turns into this arrogant flirty pig.

" You know your legs must be tired you've been running through my mind all day" He said as he flashed me a smile.

I laughed slightly. "You" I said pausing as I got closer. "Are" I said pausing for effect "An excellent flirt" I said smiling as I saw his reaction.

"I am aren't?" He asked cockily. " Wow does that line actually work on all the girls?" I asked smirking as I crossed my arms over my chest. " Well of course I am the Troy Bolton any girl would want me" He said confidently.

"New flash Bolton" I said as I put my hands on my hips. "Not every girl would want you" I said as I scoffed.

"Oh yeah name one girl" He said challengingly. "Me" I said as I angrily stomped off.

The nerve of that guy. Who the hell does he think he is? And to think I was actually gonna start liking him.

"Gabriella wait" I heard someone say as I stopped in my tracks. "What do you want Bolton?" I asked warily.

" I just want you to know that I'm not giving up" He said as he stood beside me. "I'm sorry what?" I asked incredulously. "There's nothing I like more than a good challenge and you Montez are just the challenge I need" He said as he raised his eyebrows up suggestively. He smirked at me as he watched my face fell.

" You Bolton are a el cerdo estpudio dirigio tiron" I said fuming. He looked at me like I was half insane. It was then I realized that I swore at him in Spanish. I was so happy that he didn't understand.

I snickered as I watched him trying to figure out what he just said. " Trouble Bolton?" I asked innocently. "What you just said what does it mean?" He asked confusedly. I shrugged and walked off.

Man that felt good. Better than it should have. I got to the car and waited patiently for my mum to come.

I turned up the radio to my favorite channel and started humming along quietly. I leaned back against the seat and closed my eyes letting the moment of peace engulf me.

I heard the car door open and slam. I kept my eyes closed as I waited for my mum to start the engine. I opened my eyes and almost screamed when I saw Troy there in front of me. "Jesus" I said as I put my hands to my heart "You scared me" I said as I took a deep breath. "Can I have your number?" He asked curiously.

I stared at him like he was insane. "Troy in case you thought I was being gibberish or not clear I really meant what I said and I was not kidding" I said firmly. "It's only a matter of time" He warned me. "Don't hold your breath" I said nonchalantly. He ran his hands through his hair took on last look at me then got out of the car.

I saw my mum come up and breathed a sigh of relief as I realized I would finally get away from that player. She got in and started the engine and I thought the ride home couldn't possibly be longer.

When I got home I ran upstairs and changed into a pair of shorts and t-shirt. I realized I needed to talk to someone.

So I dialed Taylor's number. "Hey Ella what's up?" She said as she answered the phone. "Omg Tay you wouldn't believe what happened to me" I said as I ran my hands through my hair.

" I thought you were supposed to be at the party" She asked as I heard her munch on something. "Yeah but I got home early" I said as I sighed. "You'll never believe who I just met at the party" I said as I took a sip of my water.
"Who?" She asked curiously. "Troy Bolton" I said normally as I flipped through a magazine. I pulled the phone away from my ears as I heard her squeal.

"Thank you Tay I really need that" I said sarcastically as I put the phone back to my ears.

"You met Troy THE Troy Bolton as in the hottest and richest teenager in new Mexico?" She asked excitedly. "Yeah so?" I asked as I flipped onto the couch. "What was he like?" She asked dreamily. "Believe me you don't wanna know" I said as I scoffed. "Wait a minute" she said suspiciously. "You sound like you regret meeting him" She said with a hint of surprise in his voice. "Oh you have no idea he is like the biggest play boy/jerk I've ever met he kept hitting on me" I said disgustedly.

"But was he hot?" She asked as she giggled. "hello you are missing the point here" I said as I smiled a little remembering his ocean blue eyes and his shaggy brown hair.

" he was wasn't he?" She asked knowingly. " Yeah Tay he was there you happy" I said in defeat.

I heard her squeal as I once again pulled the phone away from my ear.

" Jeez Tay if you're trying to make me deaf you are well on your way" I said half seriously half jokingly. I looked at the clock and fell off the couch in surprise. "Oh shoot I gotta go Tay" I said hurridley. "Why?" She asked confused.

"I gotta get up bright and early tomorrow" I said obviously. "We have a test remember? so I can have enough time to study" I said in a quick explanation as I started searching for my backpack. "I already studied" She said and I could almost see her shrug. " I studied too Tay but I need to revise you see while some of us were studying others were getting hit on by the world's biggest jerk" I said already hating Troy for making me late for my studies. "Uh huh yeah sure he is" She said in that voice. "Yeah he is" I said as I found my text book. "Uh huh sure whatever you say gabs" She said and I could hear her laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked suspiciously. "Nothing" She said "Night Ella" She said in a sing song voice.

"Night Tay" I said suspiciously. I looked at the phone wondering what was going on through that girl's head.

An hour later I was done studying so I turned off the lights and crawled into bed.

I heard my alarm clock ringing and I groaned as I rolled over and hit the button. I saw on the bed and rubbed my eyes as I got to the bathroom and took a long shower.

I got dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and top. I left my curls loose and brushed them quickly. "Morning mum" I said as I smiled at my mum. "Morning dear" She said as she went back to reading her newspaper.

I grabbed some buttered toast and at it quickly and drank my orange juice. "See you after school" I yelled as I closed the door behind me.

I started my walk to school enjoying the fresh air and the sun. The weather was just perfect and there was nothing I'd rather do than be outside.

I got to school and entered and was immediately met with the morning chatter as everyone talked about their weekend.

" Hey Tay" I said as I spotted her. She smiled at me "Hey Ella" She said as she put something in her locker. Luckily my locker was right next to hers so we started chatting aimlessly as I rearranged my locker.

"Have you heard? We have new student" She said as she shut her locker. I shut mine and we walked together. "No I haven't" I said curiously. "Apparently he's some hotshot" She said as she giggled. "Tay don't be such a hypocrite" I said as I giggled along with her. "It's the gossip" She said as she shrugged. "Since when do you listen to gossip?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows at her. "Since I started getting bored" She said as she smiled at me.

I shook my head and walked into class after her. Two minutes after we were seated the bell rang. Miss Darbus droned on and on about musicals as I sat there in the back and tuned her out.

The door opened and someone came in hurridley. I couldn't see his face because of the back of some guy's head but it was obvious he was the new kid.

"Ah Troy Bolton an honor to have you" Miss Darbus said. My eyes widened in surprise as I saw him smile he looked at me and his gaze lingered longer. I narrowed my eyes at him and turned away. "Now if we can just find you a seat" Miss Darbus trailed off looking for somewhere.

Not the empty seat beside me not the empty seat beside me I kept chanting. "Ah yes the seat beside Gabriella Montez" She said as she smiled at him.

Oh crud what luck. "Raise your hands please" I raised my hands while muttering to myself "Stupid fate off all the schools and all the places" I mumbled annyedley as Troy came and took his seat. He leaned into my ear "Told you it was a matter of time Gabi" He said as he smirked.

I resisted the impulse of sticking my tongue out and him and simply rolled my eyes at him. This was gonna be a really long day.
