Chapter 3
Months Later...
Gabriella walked around the cottage and smiled. "I can never forget this place!" she said to Troy. "So who's coming when?" "Well Taylor and Chad are going to be here sometime soon." Troy said. "That's great, so they can meet Sharpay and Zeke!" Gabriella said excited. "I'm actually a little excited for this." Troy said.
They heard someone open the door and saw Sharpay walking in with Zeke behind her holding her and his suitcases.
"Zeke, I can ask the butler and housekeeper to get those don't worry about it." Gabriella said.
"BELLLA!" Sharpay shrieked and ran over to her bestfriend and hugged her tightly. "Oh my gosh! I missed you so much! I'm never leaving the country without you again. And I have so much to tell you. Oh hey Troy!" She said then pulled Gabriella out of the room giggling loudly like a high school girl.
"Troy man! How are you?" Zeke asked smiling.
"I'm good." Troy said calming.
"The wedding stress hasn't kicked in yet or anything?" Zeke asked.
"Well...it started to when I had an arguement with Gabriella over napkins, and silverware last week." he said. "But now it's okay. I'm just letting her do all the planning because I have no clue what I want and she said it's going to look like a circus if I keep trying to help her plan it."
"That sounds about right." Zeke laughed.
Zeke and Sharpay have been Gabriella's friends since high school. The three of them went to private school together and they've been friends ever since. Zeke's parents were famous cooks his mom had a show on Food Network while his dad was an Iron Chef and now Zeke owned his own resturants in New York, California, and in other countries. Sharpay was a actress she acted in movies all around the world, her dad was publicist and her mother was famous actress and singer. So Sharpay was going in her footsteps.
Taylor Mckessie and Chad Danforth were Troy's friends from high school, they were on the exact same boat as him. Not as rich, as Gabriella and her friends but they always had good times together. Chad's parents worked multiple jobs while Taylor's mom was a nurse and her dad had left when she was born. Taylor was trying to make it as a lawyer and was working for a small local attorney, while Chad was trying to become a NBA player which he realized is a lot harder than it looks.
They heard squealing from the other room. The doorbell rang and Troy went to open it.
"Aye man!" Chad said walking into the house.
"Hi Troy!" Taylor smiled walking inside.
"So where is the bride-to-be, and why haven't I met her yet?" Chad asked.
"If you weren't training all the time you may have met her." Taylor mumbled.
"You haven't met her either." Chad argued back.
"She's in the kitchen with some friends." Troy said. Chad and Taylor followed Troy to the kitchen to see Sharpay and Gabriella sitting on the counter laughing eating ice cream.
"Why are you two acting like high schoolers?" Troy asked laughing.
"Just being here, brings back...memories?" Sharpay said unsure and looked at Troy.
"Where's Zeke?" Troy asked.
"Oh. He went upstairs to unpack." Sharpay said. "I'll you guys a minute or two." she jumped off the counter then went upstairs taking the ice cream with her. Gabriella hopped off the counter and walked over to Troy.
"So Gabriella these are my friends Taylor Mckessie and Chad Danforth, guys this is my fiance' Gabriella Montez." Troy said smiling.
"It's nice to finally meet you guys!" Gabriella smiled. "I've heard so many good things about you guys."
"Well I've heard nothing about you since Troy has been so...what's the word secretive these days." Taylor teases him. Gabriella fake laughs and looks at the three people laughing.
"We're back!" Sharpay sang walking over to the four people.
"These are Gabriella's friends Zeke Baylor a-"
"Oh my gosh! It's you." Taylor scoffed.
"Yep! Sharpay Evans that's me!" Sharpay smiled big.
"Chad, this is the bitch I was telling you about at the shoe store!" Taylor snapped.
"The shoe store, yeah well you should've watched where you were going or else I wouldn't have done that." Sharpay said shrugging. "Don't bump into me, that's all I'm saying. And you didn't even say sorry. That was my new Chanel blouse, and now it's stained with Strawberry slushie."
"You got me kicked out of the store!" Taylor exclaimed. "You're an arrogant bitch!" "Guys, calm down. I bet it was all just a misunderstanding. Maybe we can talk it out? Michael Kors just sent me a new blouse, maybe you can have that one?" Gabriella said nervously.
"I want the Chanel one!" Sharpay snapped. "We don't even wear the same size!"
"Guys come on!" Troy said. "Can we just get along?" "I'm not talking to this-this bitch!" she says and glares at Sharpay.
"Fine, I didn't wanna talk to you anyway!"
"Are we in junior high! Can you guys please act you age and talk it out!" Gabriella exclaims stomping her feet.
"You think you can just get whatever you want by stomping your feet? Well your wrong!" Taylor snaps at Gabriella. Gabriella looked at Troy then Zeke.
"Baby, you need to calm down. I can buy you another Chanel blouse. It's fine." Zeke said in Sharpay's ear.
"I'd like that, with a new pair of pumps?" she asked smiling.
"Sure." he said. She squealed and hugged him. They walked away to another room.
The doorbell rang and Gabriella went to open it. She saw the Bolton's standing there.
"H-Hi, welcome!" she said nervously and opened the door wider. walked past her along with everyone else and walked into the house.
"Troysie! My brother!" Casey laughed and hugged Troy tightly.
"Hi Troy!" his aunts said smiling as they greeted him.
"Chad what are you doing here?" Jennifer said and smiled. "Taylor, I haven't seen you guys in years!" she hugged them both. Gabriella watched everyone greet Troy, Taylor, and Chad. She stood in the room awkward and looked around unsure of what too do. She walked down the hallway to her and Stella's old room in the house.
"So where's this soon-to-be wife?" Jennifer asked smiling.
"She's over, Gabriella!" Troy yelled.
"Yes." Gabriella said walking into the room.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presents, princess." Mrs. Bolton scoffs.
"Um, your welcome?" Gabriella said unsure.
"Guys, this is my fiance' Gabriella Montez." Troy said and kissed Gabriella's cheek. "Gabriella this is my older sister Jennifer, my younger sister Casey, my aunts Silivia, Allison, and Jamie, my uncles George, Jake, and Chris, my older cousin James and my younger cousin Hailey."
"It's nice to meet all of you." Gabriella smiled politely.
"Thanks for inviting us all here, it's very beautiful." One Troy's aunts said smiling.
"You're welcome! It's one of my favorite places to be." Gabriella said honestly.
"So Gabriella, have you gotten a job recently?" Mrs. Bolton asked and Troy shot daggers at his mom.
"Um, well, I-"
"I'm happy with what Gabriella does now." Troy says annoyed.
"So you haven't gotten a job-"
"She earns money for making guest appearances and she helps with charity functions, mom." Troy says to his mom. Gabriella sighs and looks around.
"Um, your name is on the door of the room your staying in, so um yeah." Gabriella said and walked out of the room embarrassed. Troy waits until everyone leaves the room and looks at his mom.
"Do you have to be so rude to her!" he exclaims. "Did you need to humiliate her?"
"I didn't even notice what I was doing." Mrs. Bolton shrugged and walked away. Troy heard the door open and saw the Montez's walking in.
"Mom, I don't even understand why I had to fly coach!" Stella cried.
"You should've bought your ticket when I told you too, you're lucky we even got a you ticket at the last minute."
"But on coach!" she said disgusted. "While you guys were flying first class on private jet, I was flying no class on public plane."
"Hi Mrs. Montez!" Troy says and smiles. Mrs. Montez hugs him tightly.
"Guys this is Gabriella's fiance' Troy Bolton."
"Wow, you're a lot cuter in person." Juliet said. "Why does Gabriella get all of the cute guys."
"She's the prettiest sister." Stella said then smiled at Troy. "I'm Stella, Gabriella's younger sister. These two idiots are Juliet and Marcos me and Gabi's older siblings."
"We're not idiots." Marcos spoke up.
"I beg to differ." Juliet said rolling her eyes.
"And this Aunt Felisa, Uncle Paul and my oldest cousin Lilianne. Aunt Aubrey, Uncle Matt, and my younger cousin Bella." Stella said.
"Hi it's nice to meet you all." Troy smiled.
"So Bella we're rooming in me and Gabi's room come on." Stella said and pulled Bella who was 15.
"Hey guys!" Gabriella said happily coming into the room.
"Gabi!" Stella shrieked and ran over to her sister hugging her tightly. "I missed you so much!"
"That's enough my turn!" Juliet said and hugged Gabriella. "I missed you more, and your fiance' is a total hottie." she whispered in her younger sister's ear.
"Hi mom, hi dad." Gabriella said and hugged her parents.
"Is everyone here?" Mrs. Montez asked.
"Yep the Bolton's are here too." Sharpay said walking into the room with Zeke. "Oh my gosh, Lilianne!" she squealed.
"I missed you!"
"Well lunch should be ready in a few minutes and the table is getting set up now." Gabriella smiled at everyone.
