DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!
"Gabi, we need to talk"
"Um okay. What's going on?" Gabriella asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
"Well you see hunny Richard and I…." she started, but her voice drifted. "…We separated today."
"FINALLY!" Gabriella screamed. She didn't mean to, but it just sort of slipped out. She looked at her mom and mumbled "sorry"
"Well there's a little bit more sweetheart" Her mom continued, taking Gabi's hands in hers.
"Okay…" Gabi answered.
"Well we decided Richard was going to keep the house." Her mom explained.
"But mom! We're going to be out on the streets! How are we going to survive out there? There's no way we-" Gabi started, but was soon cut off by her mom.
"Don't worry sweetie! I found us a little home on the other side of town. It's perfect for just the two of us!" Her mom stated.
Relief immediately washed over Gabi's face. Then she thought about it-
"Wait. The other side of town? That means that-" Once again, she was cut off by her mom.
"You're going to have to transfer to East High" Mrs. Montez said, unsure of what her daughters reaction was going to be. "You start on Monday" she continued.
"R-Really? Mom, this is great! That's where Troy goes!" Gabi exclaimed as she ran upstairs, and began packing her items into boxes.
"This is the best day of my life!" Gabriella exclaimed to no one in particular. One she was finished packing her clothes into boxes, she decided to call Troy and tell him the good news. She went over to her cell phone, went through her contacts until she got to one that said Troy, and hit call.
The phone rung about two times before someone answered/
"Hello?" He questioned. He sounded like he just woke up.
"Troy it's Gabi!" she said, with obvious excitement.
"Hey Brie! What's going on?" He questioned.
"You're never going to believe what happened! My mom finally left Richard!" she exclaimed. Troy chuckled, because he could just imagine her jumping up and down in joy.
"Brie that's amazing!" he said, with just as much excitement.
"Well that's not even the best part! We're moving! I'm starting at East High on Monday!" she said.
Troy's smile turned into a frown. He knew that if the kids at his school found out she was from West High, they'd make her life miserable. Even worse, since he was a jock, they would expect him to make her life miserable too. ECSPECIALLY if she was a nerd.
"Um that's great" he said with fake enthusiasm.
"What's wrong Troy? D-Don't you want me to go there?" she questioned with sadness present in her voice. Hearing her sound so sad broke his heart.
"No Brie, It's not that. It's just that…since you came from West High kids may not treat you so well, and since I'm…well…me…they may expect me to..you know." He said. He knew what he just said didn't come out right. "I'm really glad you're coming! It's just..I'm trying to protect you" he added.
"I don't need you to protect me Troy. I can take care of myself." She said.
Troy could tell she was crying , considering the fact her voice was muffled and a little shaky.
"I know you can Brie." He said. "But you know what! People don't have to find out you're from West High. Just say you came from China or something!" He exclaimed.
Gabriella let out a laugh. "China?" she questioned.
"Well it was the first thing I could think of!" Troy said. "Anyways, why don't you sit with my friends and I at lunch on Monday?"
Gabriella sighed. "I don't know if that's really a good idea Troy"
"Of course it is! You're sitting there, even if I have to find you, pick you up, and drag you into the cafeteria! And I'll tell you what. Monday morning, I'll pick you up and drive you to school so I can give you one of my world famous Troy Bolton tours!"
Gabriella chuckled. "Okay. I'll text you later with my new address." She said, finally giving in in defeat.
"Great. So be ready at 6:45" He said.
"Mkay. Bye Troy" she said. He said goodbye and they both hung up.
Gabriella put her phone on her dresser, and started packing all her books.
"This may take a while" she mumbled to herself.
A/N: Sorry for the wait! This is practically a filler, so that's why it's not very long. I'll try to update very soon! Like by tomorrow. I've just been really busy because I start school on Monday. Anyways review please!
