Chapter 3

Gabi's P.O.V.

Here I go. I am about to ring the doorbell. Oh my gosh how about they don't like me. How about their son? What will he think of me? He will probably think I'm a geek because I like school and stuff. Then he's like going to tell there friends and the whole school. Then nobody will be my friend! Great, I will be friendless for my junior year. Great way to start school. OMG!! I'm freaking out!!! Maybe I should go tomorrow. No but it'll be the same thing. Fine I'll do it now….

"You know you can just ring the doorbell and my parents will answer." A sandy-brown haired boy said.

I turn around and saw this boy. He has big ocean blue eyes and sandy-brown hair. He was wearing red basketball shorts with EH on the sides and a regular big white t-shirt and had a basketball in his hand. My foster parents were right he was a jock who played basketball. And he is soooo cute! Oh my gosh does my hair look ok? How about my clothes? Oh no how long has he been standing there? He might have been here the whole time while I've been debating on ringing the doorbell or not. I must look like an idiot now! Great, he might think I'm weird now because I've been standing here for about 10 minutes and been doing nothing. So I am going to turn around now and say something to him before he thinks I'm weirder and label me as a geek in school.

"Hey you live here?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah that's why I was about to enter the house. Then I see this girl standing here doing nothing. So there must be a reason why you're here. And then it came to me you must be Gabriella my new next door neighbor who live with the Stacks?" he asked.

"Yeah my name is Gabriella Montez. And I'm going to start as a junior at your school next week. At East High Right?" she asked.

"Yeah that's my school. And I'm a junior too. It's cool at East High when you get to know everybody. Anyways my name is Troy Bolton. I think I'm going to show you around or someone in school will like the principal or someone." He explained.

"Yeah thanks. So are we going to enter the house or are we going to just stand here and talk while the sky gets dark?" she said.

"Ok then. So let us enter." He said.

In The House

Troy's POV

Wow. Gabriella looks like a really nice girl. And she's really pretty too. Wait Bolton get a hold of yourself, she's a new girl and everybody is going to label her "geek" or "new girl." So I can't like her. I have to stick to the status quo right? Everybody is going to bother me at school if I hang out with her. Especially Chad. He is going to annoy me to death with this "new girl." Then Sharpay is going to say "she really shouldn't be here because she's a new girl and probably a geek. She doesn't belong here Troy." Ugh. Stupid status quo. I don't think she deserves to be treated wrong. I really want to change this "status quo." I'll deal with this on Monday. Back to the tour.

End of POV

"Nice house," Gabriella complimented.

"Thanks my parents do the best that they can do. And I'll give you a tour around the house and you'll meet my parents if they're here." Troy explained.

They had the tour around the house and Gabriella met Troy's parents.

"Wow it is so nice to meet you Gabriella! Jane and Drew told us a lot about you. So how do you like Albuquerque so far? Mrs. Bolton asked.

"Well the people look nice here and looks like a great place to live in." Gabriella explained.

"That's great. I hope you are into sports or extra curriculum because we have a lot of that at East High." Mr. Bolton explained who was the East High's basketball coach and PE teacher.

"Well I hope to join a couple of sports team, but I don't know yet. I want to catch up on my work then join some sports." Gabi explained.

"Well it's almost dark outside I think you should be heading home. Troy can you walk her to her house please?" Mrs. Bolton asked.

"Sure." He said. "I should always accept an opportunity to walk with a pretty girl." He thought.

"Ok we're here." Troy said. "So do you want to go to the back and just talk. I kind of want to know you better."

"Ok then. Let's go." Gabriella said.

At the Backyard

Gabi's POV

Wow the Bolton's seem pretty nice especially Troy. He seems like a cool guy. I kind of want to get to know him better. And he kind of looked eager to walk me to my house, but that can just be my imagination. Maybe it's the jetlag. So I wonder what he wants to know about me. I hope he doesn't ask about my past because I'm just going to break down. Well back to conversation.

End of POV

"So I think we should play 20 questions to get to know each other." Gabriella suggested.

"Okay. I'll go first. So, what are you interested in Gabriella?" Troy asked.

"You can call me Gabi or Gabs if you want. Anyways my answer is…..ok this might sound a little geeky but I like school and science a lot. So I'm hoping that there is a Scholastic Decathlon Team at East High." Gabi explained.

"Ok Gabi that's cool. I don't know if there is one because I'm not a big school person. No offense" he said.

"None taken. Next question." she said.

"Ok Gabi. Um… Why did you move here?" Troy asked.

"Um……."
