Chapter 4 – The Start of Something New

Gabriella walked into school the next day and saw Kelsi dropping all of her notes. Gabriella ran over to her and picked up the notes sheets and gave them to her. Kelsi smiled and Gabriella smiled back and said ''Hi, I am Gabriella Montez, I am new here''.

Kelsi looked at the floor and said ''I am Kelsi, I have been here forever''. Gabriella smiled and looked at the notes and said ''you write music''. Kelsi looked at the notes and said ''yeah, for the musical, Sharpay and Ryan will be singing it''.

Gabriella remembered what Taylor told her yesterday and said ''oh them''. Kelsi and Gabriella laughed.

Troy saw Kelsi and Gabriella talking and laughing and ran over to her. Gabriella stopped laughing and looked at him. Troy smiled at Gabriella and said ''Hi, I am Troy''. Gabriella looked at him and said ''Gabriella''. Troy looked at the ground and then looked at Gabriella and said ''can you help me with maths''.

Gabriella looked at the ground and said to Troy ''um, my mates say I can't talk to you''. Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled and said ''my mates said that to''. Troy looked at the floor and Gabriella and said ''so can you help me with maths''. Gabriella looked at Troy and said ''yeah, come to my house after school''.

Gabriella wrote down her address and handed it to Troy and smiled. Troy looked at the piece of paper and said ''so what time do you want me to come around''. Gabriella looked at Troy in his basketball outfit and said ''after basketball practice if you want''.

Troy looked at Kelsi and Gabriella and said ''yeah, bye''. Troy smiled at Gabriella and walked off. Chad looked around the corner and saw Troy walking away from Gabriella.

Chad walked over to Troy and said ''why were you talking to her, remember what we said''. Troy looked at Chad angry and said ''I asked her if she could help me with my school work, that's all ok''. Chad looked at Troy and smiled.

Gabriella walked home after school and walked into the front room and saw Mrs Montez on the couch writing. Gabriella sat down next to her Mom and said ''what are you doing home, your usually working''. Mrs Montez smiled at Gabriella and said ''the boss let me of early''.

Gabriella hugged her Mom and said ''this boy is coming around later, I got to help him with his work''. Mrs Montez smiled and looked at Gabriella and said ''is this boy cute''.

Gabriella smiled at her Mom and said ''yeah, I suppose he is''. Mrs Montez walked to the door and said ''I am gonna go, so when he comes you two will be left in quiet''. Mrs Montez walked out the door and saw Troy coming down the road with loads of books in his hands and smiled.

Troy walked up to Mrs Montez and said ''is Gabriella here''. Mrs Montez smiled and said ''yeah, she in the front room''. Troy smiled and walked into the house. Mrs Montez smiled and got in her car and drove away.

Troy walked into the front room and saw Gabriella reading all of her notes. ''Hi'' said Troy. Gabriella jumped back in fright and said ''how did you get in''. Troy smiled at Gabriella and said ''your Mom let me in''.

Gabriella smiled and said ''come on let's get on with the work''. Gabriella got her maths book and started to read the book and Troy wrote down the questions and answers.

After 1 hour, Troy got bored and said ''can we put some songs on, my brain is completely dead''. Gabriella smiled and put the CD player on and sat back down.

Troy listened to the song and realized that it was a karaoke CD. Gabriella smiled at Troy and said ''I am so sorry, I thought I had another CD in''. Troy smiled at Gabriella and said ''Maybe we should sing it''.

Gabriella smiled and replayed it. Troy started to sing and Gabriella smiled. Then Gabriella started to sing. And when Gabriella and Troy started to sing together and their voices together made a beautiful connection, from then it was the start of something new.
