Chapter 7: New Kid, New Game.

The weekend ended just as it came. Before I knew it, it was Monday yet again. Meaning I'd had to see Troy today. The Twins tried to hang out with Troy all weekend, but he always had some type of excuse as to why he couldn't do something. If that's just the way he wants to play this game that's just fine with me. Two can certainly play this game.

Mondays, are the worst. You're mourning the loss of your weekend. So can we all take a moment of silence for the loss of our weekends? Okay I'm good. No, not really, but I have to go to school. Shar and Tay are still convinced that I can't just brush Troy off, but I would have to disagree. Troy is not the only attractive person in that school; hell he isn't even the only attractive person in the city. I can forget about all about that stupid kiss.

I quickly got dressed in the usual Mournday attire. Mostly black. I put on my tight black jeans, a red lacey tank top and a black blazer. I dug in my closet and found my cheetah high heels and I grabbed my black Chanel shoulder bag. I decided to put my hair in a high ponytail, with my hair up you could see my face, I did a light smoky eye not too dark and heavy, but just enough for school. Once I decided I was ready for school, I descended downstairs for breakfast.

"Happy Mournday, Gabi." Daddy said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, looks like princess is yet again the last one to come down today." Lucas said.

"Can it, Mourndays are just not my thing." I said as I took a seat at the table.

"Yeah we see." Marc said.

"Leave your sister alone boys." Daddy said as he fixed my plate.

"GABI!" James screeched.

"Hi Jamesy." I said to my little brother.

"Where's mom?" I asked.

"Oh she had a meeting early this morning so she left a while ago. Gabi eat up Gabe left earlier saying something about practice." Daddy answered.

"I will. I don't have practice today, so I should be home earlier than normal." I said as I grabbed my backpack.

"Gabi, no go." James said from his seat.

"Gabi has to go, but I'll be home after school." I said to him.

"Really?" the little boy questioned.

"Really." I said replied as I kissed his forehead.

"Bye Daddy, love you." I said as I hugged my father.

"Bye sweetie, have a nice day at school." He replied.

"BYE GABI!" The twins said in unison.

"Good bye boys." I said as I walked out to my car.

Hopefully everything would go extremely smoothly today. It's a Mournday; it has too, no surprises nothing bad could go wrong. Could it? Nobody does anything bad on a Mournday right? Who am I kidding; Mourndays are the hardest day of the week. I finally made my way into the school parking lot and parking right in between Shar and Tay. I got out and made my way into the school building finding my way to my locker.

"Looking good today Gabriella." Mitchell said as I began opening my locker.

"Uh, thanks Mitchell." I said as I put my stuff inside.

"So I'll see you around." He said as he threw a wink my way.

"Happy Mournday Gabs." Taylor said as she made her way to her own locker.

"GABI HAPPY MOURNDAY DARLING!" Sharpay said.

"How are you two so happy on a Mournday?" I asked.

"It's only you who have a hard time on Monday." Taylor said.

"It's Mournday." I stated quickly.

"Let's get to homeroom before Darbus goes nuts." Sharpay said and we all headed down to homeroom.

"Gabi, you look awful cute for this Mournday." Taylor said.

"What are you talking about Tay? I always wear black stuff on Mourndays." I said.

"Yeah, but your hair if pulled back and you just look very dressed up." She replied.

"Tay are you implying that I'm dressed up for a certain somebody?" I asked.

"Maybe." She replied.

"Well I'm not. Like I told you before, a kiss is just a kiss. I'm over it. Besides you're acting like Troy is the only attractive male in this city." I said.

"Ladies are you finished because I have important matters to discuss." Ms. Darbus said as she walked in.

"You just got in here, besides the bell hasn't even rang yet." I said.

"Ms. Montez what did you say?" Darbus asked.

"You got upset because we're talking, but we're in class early, you weren't even in the room yet and you want us to be quiet before the bell rings." I said again.

"Do you want to go speak with Mr. Mautsi?" Darbus asked.

"Do you really want me to go down there because I will and when I explain to him what happened, I'm sure he'll see things my way?" I said as I began to get up.

"Sit back down Ms. Montez that won't be necessary." Darbus said.

"Excuse me teachers, sorry for the interruption, but will Gabriella Montez please report to the main office please."

"Well that's my cue. I'll see you lovely ladies later, I have to go, I've been summoned." I said as I got up. "You have a lovely day Darbus."

"You as well Ms. Montez." Darbus said

I walked slowly down the halls on my way to the principal's office. It's Mournday, what could he possibly want? I haven't done a single thing. I'm Gabi, what could I do? I finally made it to the office and my mind stopped racing.

"Ms. Montez, I'm glad you could make it. I'd like for you to give a tour of the building to our new student. He's in all of your classes, so I thought who better to give him a tour than Ms. Gabrielle Montez herself." Mr. Mautsi said.

"Sure, I have no problem with that, so who's the new student?" I asked.

"Aiden Johnson. Aiden, can you come out here please?" Mr. Mautsi asked.

That's when my heart stopped for a second time, Aiden was beyond gorgeous. Piercing green eyes, dark brown hair he looked like he was from some type of island. He was tall extremely tall. Gabi, get ahold of yourself, you're drooling.

"Hi, I'm Gabriella, but everyone pretty much calls me Gabi." I said as I stuck my hand out to Aiden.

"Aiden, it's nice to meet you Gabi." Aiden said with a smile, he even has dimples I'm going to melt.

"Likewise, so since you're in all of my classes I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other." I said returning the smile.

"Oh I think I'm going to like it here." Aiden said as we walked the halls.

"I hope you do." I said just then I laid eyes on Troy and I could have sworn he gave Aiden and I the dirtiest look ever.

Well forgetting Troy just got easier. Aiden is a mega hottie I could have some fun with this. Thank God for the new kid, now everything is a new game.

A/N: I know, I know. No Troyella action, but I promise you I'm building it all up. I have huge plans for this story and this is just the beginning. Thanks for the reviews they mean a lot to me and all the alerts. I'm glad you all are enjoying my story.
