"He's fine, Mum." She told her and, then she went upstairs to put her bag on the bed, then she heard a phone ring.

"Hi, Sarah." She said down the phone line to her friend.

"How are you?" Sarah asked her.

"I've been great." She lied.

"Gabriella, don't lie to me." She told her calmly.

"I've been fine. But Sharpay found out about the scholarship thing, that was set for New York." Gabriella replied to her.

"How did Sharpay know about the scholarship?" Sarah questioned her.

"Because I'm going there for the summer and she found out the truth about me." She told her.

"Oh, right. And I'm guessing that you are coming down for Christmas day to see us in Texas?" Sarah questioned her.

"Yes, I am, if my mother let's me visit you." Gabriella replied.

"Okay." Sarah said.

Then she put her phone down and went to ask her mum about going to Texas.

"Mum, can I go to Texas on Christmas day?" She asked questing her.

"Yes, you can go there. But only if your gonna be safe there." Her mother said to her.

"Yes, I am gonna be safe there, mum." Gabriella assured her of her safety.

"Okay. Anyway, it's gonna be time for dinner soon." Her mother told her.

But then, Gabriella heard a knock on the door.

"Hi, Troy." Gabriella said answering the door to him.

"Hi, Gabriella." Troy said, as he stepped into the house to sit in the living room.

"I've just asked my mum and she said I am going to visit my friend in Texas." She told him.

"Did your mum say that I can go with you?" Troy questioned her.

"No. My mum said I can on my own." She told him, as her mother walked into the living room.

"He can go with you, Gabriella." She said to her and went back into the kitchen to cook dinner.

"Thank you, Mum." She said, thanking her, then went to get her laptop from upstairs.

"Troy, guess what I was having a look up for?" She said, hoping that he would guess.

"You were looking up Criminal Minds, weren't you?" Troy said and she nodded yes to his question of time.

"Yes, I was and clearly they want a new police officer for the future." She told him.

"But first of all you need to go to the police Academy and before that could happen you need to know all of the basic knowledge." Troy added to her with a lot of knowledge that she needed to know about.

"Of course I need to know all of that and my mum knows it." She said sarcastically .

"Dinners ready." Her mother called out from the kitchen.

"Coming, Mum." Gabriella shouted from the living room and headed towards the kitchen for something to eat.

"Mum, ain't you know about all of the police in Los Angeles and California?" Gabriella asked her mother, whilst eating her food.

"Yes, I do. And all of them have different jobs to do and, even knowledge that they do." Her mother said, as she got up from her seat to put her plate away.

But then it was time for Troy to go home to bed.

"Goodnight, Mum." Gabriella said going up to bed.

The next day, Gabriella got up and got the bus to school, then she saw Tom walk up to her.

"Good morning, Miss. Montez." Tom said, greeting her as they both walked up to her locker.

"Good morning, Tom." She greeted him back.

"I heard that your gonna visit Sarah in Texas." Tom said to her.

"Were you eavesdropping last night?" She asked him.

"No, I didn't eavesdrop." He said with a lie.

"Why do I feel the guilt in you, Tom? You had to be eavesdropping last night. Because no-one else was there. Apart from you and Troy." She yelled at him. But then, she finally calmed herself down.

"Okay. I did eavesdrop by your house. But it was only for a minute, or two." He said with honesty to her and, then the bell rang and it was time to go to class.

"Good morning, everyone." The teacher said greeting them all.

"Good morning, Miss. Molly." All the students said, greeting her back.

"So today, I'm handing out letters for Los Angeles. Because the head teacher said this class should be able to go out more." Miss. Molly said passing the letters out to them.

'I don't think my mum would allow this. Apart from getting a coach there and back.' Gabriella thought to herself, then saw Reid putting his hand up in the air.

"Will we be getting a coach there?" Mr. Reid asked her, as she nodded her head.

"Yes, we are getting a bus there and you seem to have all the questions." She told him.

"And you seem to have all the answers." Mr. Reid added.

He had finally got back to his work.

"Psst, Gabriella." Reid shouted from his seat.

"What?" She shouted from her seat and got up to give her work in to the teacher.

"You can learn my name a bit more." He told her.

"Fine." She said and rushed of to her locker to put her books away, then she put the letter into her bag.

Then the final bell rang and it was time to go home.

"Hi, mum. My teacher told me that we are going on a trip to Los Angeles." She told her mum.

"I know. The headmistress phoned and, I told her that I don't mind you going to Los Angeles with your friends from class." Her mother told her and Gabriella went to ring up her best friend.

"Hi, Gabriella." Sarah said, answering the phone.

"Hi, Sarah. I have something to tell you." Gabriella told her.

"What is it?" Sarah asked a bit confused.

"I'm going to Los Angeles for a holiday and, I probably won't be able to visit you. Because it next week." Gabriella said with honesty.

"Well, can I come?" She asked her.

"Yes, I'm sure the teacher wouldn't mind it at all, Sarah." Gabriella assured her.

"Okay. But does the teacher know that I live in Texas with my dad and my mum?" Sarah questioned her.

"No, she doesn't know that." Gabriella replied to her question.

"Well, anyways, I've gotta go. I have homework to do." Sarah said and slammed her phone shut.

'That wasn't so nice. I have to tell my teacher about Sarah.' Gabriella thought to herself and heard a know from the balcony.

"Hi, Troy. You must have heard me." She said and turned around, then realised that it wasn't Troy. It was Reid from the FBI.

"What are you doing here, Spencer?" She called him by his first name.

"I just wanted to see you, Gabriella." He said already starting to panic.

"Why did you want to see? It's not about Troy, is it." She asked quickly.

"No. It's not about Troy and the FBI already wants you apart of our crew. But you still be going to school everyday." Reid told her, as her mother walked into her bedroom.

"And you can see Troy everyday of your life." Her mother added.

"I know, Mum." Gabriella said, hugging her new best friend.

"Well, I gotta go. Rossi needs my help with some murders back in California." He said and, then he was gone.

'In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs though intimate and psychological; resistant to generalization; a mystery of the individual's soul.' Gabriella read of the computer.

"Gabriella, what did you just read from the computer?" Her mother asked her.

"I just read a note from, or by a person named Barbra Ehrenreich." Gabriella told her.

The next day.

"Troy, guess what I got from the FBI?" She questioned him.
