Fight to Finish
Chapter 11

Gabriella got out of the limo and smiled at her great grandmother's classic italian mansion. This italian house was in the Montez family for ages, every few years it'd be passed down to someone else. As a kid when Gabriella would come, she'd always bring Marcy and they'd always play in the manmade river, or the garden since there wasn't a playground.

"Oh my gosh! It feels like ages since I've been here!" Marcy said smiling big. "I wonder if they changed anything?"

"Probably not." Gabriella smiled. They walked up to the door as the butler and his assistant helped him gather the suitcases to take them inside. They walked up to a door and maid dressed in the usual maid suit opened the door smiling widely at them.

"Hi Gabriella, and Marcy." she greeted them.

"Hey Claudia!" they smiled. Claudia was the maid who's been working for the family since she was sixteen and since Gabriella was born. Whenever Gabriella would visit as a kid she'd always play with Claudia.

"Welcome, everyone is in the family room right now, would you two like some tea?"

"Um, yes please." Gabriella smiled.

"I'm fine, but thank you." Marcy said. The two girls walked into the family room to see their parents already in there smiling talking to everyone.

"Yes, my baby has a boyfriend. You all would love him! He's such a nice guy!" Gabriella said her mom speaking. "Speaking of Gabriella, here she is!"

"Oh my gosh! Elle! You look great!" said Jenna who was Gabriella oldest cousin at 22 years old. Felisa looked at her mom and hit her. "She looks like me!"

"Oh shush, Felisa she doesn't look anything like you." Gabriella's Aunt Eloisa said smiling. Gabriella had two aunts, Eloisa and Giovanna, and two uncles, Alfonso and Fedele, her mother was the youngest and Eloisa was the oldest, Alfonso was the second oldest, and Giovanna was in the middle, and Fedele was the second youngest. Eloisa had two kids a girl and a boy, Felisa and Julio and is divorced. Alfonso had two twin boys Ramondo, and Orlando he was married to a french women named Camille. Giovanna being the middle was only married to a man named Carlos. Fedele was the second and was married to a women named Angelica and had three kids two girls and a boy Adele, Geniva, and Christiano.

Felisa was the oldest out of all of them being 22, then the twins Ramondo and Orlando where 20, then Geniva who's 19, then Julio who's 18, then Gabriella who's 16, then Adele who's 14, and the youngest being Christiano at 12 years old. They were all pretty close considering their ages where so close to eachother.

"So, I heard my baby cousin has a boyfriend." Ramonda says smirking.

"Oh my gosh! She does, and trust me, he is such a charmer! Y-" Marcy started talking excited.

"Marce!" Gabriella hit her bestfriend.

"We were really looking forward to meeting him." Uncle Alfonso says smiling brightly. "We haven't met your boyfriends since...well ever!"

"That's because they were all jerks!" Geniva exclaims. "Especially Jordan, I'm glad you dumped him!"

"Well thanks, Geni." Gabriella said sarcastically.

"What? I was being honset. He was worthless."

"He was a generally nice guy."

"What bullshit." Marcy mumbled after Gabriella spoke.

"So what's the theme for the Ball?" Gabriella asked changing the subject. "I brought so many gowns!"

"Um, it's obviously New Years?" Julio smarted back to Gabriella.

"Obviously it's New Years." Gabriella mocked him and rollled her eyes. "I was asking about the decorations your moron."

"Oh, the theme this year is like falling in love or something?" Adele spoke and Orlando rolled his eyes.

"No! Adele shut the hell up! It's a masquerade this year." Orlando said and Gabriella smiled bigger. The Marcy squealed.

"Look like we're going mask shopping!" Marcy jumped up and ran up the stairs to her room.

"She's too excited about this." Felisa said squinching.

"You know what I do not understand?" Ramondo asks confused.

"What don't you understand?" Felisa asked.

"How Gabriella and Marcy are bestfriends. They're complete opposites." he says confused.

"Opposites Attract." Adele smiled.

"Dude! Shut up Adele!" Orlando said.

...

Troy was sitting on the couch between Zeke and Chad who were playing Call of Duty. Sharpay was sitting on the floor watching them laughing. Jason was outside playing basketball against some other guys from the basketball team. He sighed and Sharpay looked at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Daniel is in Colorado with Becca, and I feel like I should be in Italy with Gabi." he said and looked down.

"Let's go talk someplace else." she said, and he followed his little sister to the front of the house on the porch. "You really like her don't you."

"Yeah, I do. What happened between you, and Marcy, and Elena?"

"Well, I said some things, I should'nt have said." she replied honest. "Now they're both really mad at me, and I bet money Gabriella is too. She's was like my only friend besides Taylor. Now I'm on her bad side."

"Why do you think she's mad at you?"

"Because of the stuff I said, I don't know...this past school year has changed me for the worst. I wish I could just go back and just...change it."

"I'm pretty sure everyone will forgive you. The second semester, is going to be great I promise." Troy said and smiled at his little sister. They heard car doors slam and looked seeing Elena running over to them.

"What are you doing here?" Troy asked confused.

"E-East High is on fire!" she yelled.

"What?" Sharpay asked.

"Our school is on fire!" she said again but louder.

The basketball team had heard her and walked over to them.

"Come on!" Elena said as she ran to her limo.

Once they arrive at the school everyone's jaws dropped at the school. Half of it was already gone, the fire was huge and everything was burning except for the wildcat statue.

Everyone was devestated, people were crying, the fire was getting bigger by the second and out of control.

"I-I bet it was those Knights." Chad hissed angrily.

"No, it's wasn't West High. Jordan told me none of his friends would do this." Elena said.

"Then who did it?" Beverly yelled as she walked over to them.

"I don't know who would go this far?" Sharpay said quietly.

"This is entirely to far." Taylor exclaimed. "This isn't funny anymore."

"It was Marcos High School, their football team. That's what Jordan thinks." Elena said sighing. "I can't believe this is happening right now."

" , where are going for school now that East High is gone?" a reporter asked the principal. He looked at everyone then sighed.

"I guess everyone will have to go to West High, now." he said sadly then walked away.

...

Gabriella went into her room and opened up her tote bag. She saw a small box in pink wrapping paper in there. She frowned confused. Then saw a tag on it.

To Brie
From Troy

She smiled and looked at it, she put it down then her door opened.

"What's taking you so long?" Geniva asked impatient. "We're ready to go!"

"Okay, just one second. I'll be there." she smiled and waited until Geniva was out of the room and put her phone on her ear and called Troy. It rang for a second then went straight to voicemail. She sent him a text message then got up and grabbing her purse and went downstairs.

"Let's go shopping, then I want to go see the Vatican!" Ramondo said smiling big.

"You see the Vatican every year." Orlando complained. "It's still the same."

"I just want to see if they changed the art, or see if I missed any art?" Ramondo said confused.

"We've gone to see the Vatican for the past 6 years Ramon." Marcy said. "You say the same thing every year and yet it still looks exactly the same."
"You guys just don't appreciate it for what it is." he rolled his eyes.

"We appreciate it, we just don't appreciate going to see it every year because you want to look at the same thing." Felisa said rolling her eyes.

"Fine then no Vatican, but lets go to Sicily."

"Sicily is for New Years." Gabriella corrected. "That's where the ball is."

"Speaking of ball, who's your escort Elle?" Geniva asked smirking. "Anyone? How about that Troy Boy Marcy's been telling me about?"

"I'm going to cut your tongue off!" Gabriella joked annoyed.

"Is he coming?" Julio asked.

"He's staying with his sisters and friends for Christmas." Gabriella huffed.

"You guys would love him, he plays basket-"

"Marcy!" Gabriella covered her mouth.

"He plays basketball?" Orlando asked. "I like him already."

"Yeah, and he's on Varsity and he's co-captain behind his brother." Gabriella explained to them. "He's a point guard, number 14."

"Wow, you know what position he plays?" Julio said. "Sounds like you two are pretty serious."

"Oh my gosh, this is why I neved talk about my boyfriends to you guys." Gabriella said embarrassed.

"When's the baby coming?" Geniva asked smirking.

"Hey!" Ramondo said. "No sex, Gabriella, stay a virgin."

"Why it's not like your one." Felisa said looking at him from the corner of her eye. He choked and turned around his face getting red.

"I-I j-j-"

"Don't explain yourself." Orlando joked. "Everyone knows you lost your virginity to over there." he teased. "Or hoped too."

Marcy got red in the face then pushed Orlando. "Shut up!"

They walked down the sidewalk of Rome laughing.

"So what'd you get Troy for Christmas?" Geniva asked nosey.

"I got him a Kevin Durant signed basketball and Kobe Byrant signed Jersey." she said smiling.

"What the!?" Orlando exclaimed. "Did I get something like that?"

"I think my mom got you a pair of Jordan's or something?" Gabriella shrugged.
"Was it free?"

"Then I also got him a picture of me in my Sweet 17 dress." Gabriella smiled. "And an infinity necklace so we'll be together forever."

"Awww how cute you're such a saaaaaap!" Julio joked then poked Gabriella. "How sweet of you Elle, together foreverrr!"

"Oh shut up Julio." she pushed him. He bumped into Orlando.

"Watch out!" he snapped.

"She pushed me!" Julio snapped back.

"I wouldn't have pushed you if you weren't touching me!" Gabriella snapped.

"Can you two just act civilized we're in public!" Geniva yelled.

"You guys are so obnoxious!" Ramondo said.

"Ramon what the heck you're just like them!" Marcy said.

They all started bickering with eachother for no reason. Felisa watched them smiling remembering when she'd bickering with them.

"Merry Christmas everyone, these crazy kids over here are my family.." Felisa said laughing.


Okay, I'm so sorry I've taking so long to update this story! I really am! I feel horrible. This chapter was kinda just a filler chapter. Just there. And I have an announcement there will not be another sequel after this one is over. The way the story ends doesn't call for a sequel...? So I'm sorry guys!
