I think my chapters are getting kinda boring. T
i dont know tell me what you think.

anywho, i hope you like the chapters though. I need more reviews to get me inspired. Im thinking about changing the title of this story since it barely has anything to do with The Pussycat Dolls' song Stickwitu. anyone have any suggestions?

Disclaimer: i have $60 but i need it to buy a new bathing suit. i dont think it would be enough to own HSM though.


Chapter 11

February 18, 2006; 7:02 PM

It is Saturday night and the whole gang is at Troy's house for a movie marathon consisting of many different movies for them to watch the whole day. It has been a little more then a week since the major snow storm and the arrest of Kevin Rogers. Every thing seemed to be falling back into place, there weren't any crazy things happening and everyone was glad that they could finally relax and forget about all that has happened before.

"That was a great movie." Sharpay said as she stretched her arms and then wrapped them around Zeke's waist.

"Yes I know. It was so sad that Chris Brown died in like the first 10 minutes of the movie though." Taylor replied as she smoothed out her skirt and went to turn on the lights.

"I know right!! He is so cute!!" Gabriella said as she went to grab the empty snack bowls and bring them upstairs to refill.

"Chris Brown?! What about me!!" Chad exclaimed as he took the DVD out of the DVD player. "Aren't I any cute to you Taylor?"

Taylor looked over to Chad and took a quick glance. "You're alright."

Chad put his hand over his heart and pretended to be hurt. "Ouch Taylor. That was painful."

"I'm sorry baby. I meant to say that you are the cutest, sexiest man ever." Taylor replied as she walked over and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"That's more like it." Chad then wrapped his arms around Taylor's waist and placed a kiss on her lips which she gladly accepted and deepened.

Gabriella then walked down to the basement from the kitchen holding the refilled snack bowls in her hands. "Whoa! I'm gone for like 5 minutes and there is already a make out party going on?"

"Haha Gabriella." Chad took his hands off of Taylor and they both walked back to their seats on the couch. "So Taylor, what would you like to do for our anniversary coming up?"

Everyone's one month anniversary was coming up since they all hooked up around the same time. Troy and Gabriella's was first on the 20th, Jason and Kelsi's was next on the 21st, Chad and Taylor's was next on the 22nd, and then Zeke and Sharpay was on the 23rd. Ryan and Gloria's anniversary came a few days later on the 26th.

"Hmm I don't know. Surprise me!!" Taylor shouted as she snuggled up next to Chad as he placed his arms around her shoulder. "What are all you guys doing for your anniversaries?"

"Sharpay and I are going to go ice-skating and then go to a fancy restaurant for dinner."

"Jason and I are going to a photography studio and we are going to have our pictures taken. Then dinner afterwards."

"Ryan is taking me to go see a theater show (like you know the ones on Broadway in New York) then the old traditional fancy dinner." Gloria chuckled and everyone else giggled along.

Troy walked over to Gabriella and pulled her by her waist closer to him. "Ours will be a surprise."

Gabriella looked at Troy and lightly hit his arm. "Why Troy, I want to know what you have planned for us!!"

Troy lightly kissed her forehead and then rested his forehead on Gabi's. "It's a surprise but I know you will love it." Troy then gave Gabriella a passionate kiss which made Gabriella forget all her anxiety for their anniversary.

"COUGH COUGH! How about we watch the next movie now?" Ryan said as he pulled out a DVD.

February 20, 2006; 7:00 AM

Nobody's gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever

Nobody's gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u

You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u my baby

Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

Gabriella rolled over to the other side of her bed where her phone was ringing. She already knew who it was by the ring tone. She looked at the time and saw that it was 7:01 in the morning. She then tiredly picked up her phone.

"Hey Troy."

"Hey Baby. Happy Anniversary!"

"Happy Anniversary to you too. Why are you calling me at 7 in the morning?"

"To wake you up for school and to tell you Happy Anniversary! I'll be over at your house in a half hour to pick you up and drive us to school, sound good to you?"

"Yea sounds great Troy I'll see you in a half hour."

"Okay. Love You Princess."

"Love You Prince."

Gabriella got out of bed and went to her bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then she walked over to her closet and chose a brown lace tank top and layered a blue polo on top. She then put on a pair of her skinny jeans and slipped on her navy blue flats. She applied light makeup on her face and let her hair fall gently on her shoulders. She was done and had a couple minutes to spare. She grabbed her bag, cell, wallet, and keys and walked downstairs.

"Good Morning Gabi."

"Morning Mom."

"So what are you planning on doing today after school?"

"Well today is my one month anniversary with Troy so I'm guessing he has something planned for us after school." Gabriella walked into the kitchen and sat down at one of the kitchen counters with a plate of pancakes in front of her.

"Well congrats to you and Troy. You two are so cute together, I know he is the perfect guy for you."

"Thanks Mom. I love him so much. I'm so glad I met him that day at the ski lodge."

Just then the doorbell rang. "I'll go get it mom!!" Gabriella rushed to the front door and opened it. There stood a blue eyed boy holding a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate, and a wrapped box in her door way.

"Troy!! They are beautiful, but you didn't have to get them for me." Gabriella went and took the flowers out of his hands and interlocked her fingers with his while leading him into the kitchen.

"Yes I did. You are my girl and you deserve them."

Gabriella pulled out a vase from the cabinets and filled it up with water. Then she placed the flowers in the vase and placed them on the counter.

Gabi then walked over to Troy and took her seat next him by the kitchen island. "Well they are beautiful. Thank you Troy." She then leaned in and gave him a light kiss that he gladly accepted.

"Why hello Troy." Anna walked into the room and noticed the flowers. "Wow those are beautiful Gabi. Did Troy get them for you?"

"Hello Anna, and yes I did." Troy replied while puffing out his chest.

Gabriella then lightly smacked his chest. "Stop being so cocky Troy."

"Haha sorry." Troy then gave Gabriella a hug as she was about to take a bite out of her pancakes.

"Would you like some pancakes Troy?" Anna asked as she placed a couple of pancakes on a plate.

"Yes I would. Thank you Anna." Troy replied while gladly accepting the plate. He drizzled syrup all over the pancakes and then stuffed one whole pancake in his mouth.

"Troy!! You want to choke to death?!" Gabriella shouted as she stared wide eyed at Troy who was hastily chewing his pancakes.

"No I don't Montez. I just wanted to see your reaction."

7:55 AM

Gabriella and Troy were now in Troy's car. Gabriella took one of Troy's chocolates from before and popped it in her mouth. Troy was about to back the car out of the driveway when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh before I forget!" Troy then pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Gabriella. "Open it."

Gabriella took the box and quickly tore off the wrapping paper. She then lifted the cover and saw a gold heart shaped locket. She opened it and saw a picture of her and Troy together smiling on a nice sunny day.

"Turn it over." Gabriella took the locket out and turned it over.

There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.

Troy Loves Gabriella

01.20.06

A tear then slid down Gabriella's face.

"Gabi are you crying?" Troy lifted Gabi's chin so he was looking at her face and she was looking back to him.

"Oh Troy! Its beautiful!! Thank you so much!!" Gabriella then leapt into Troy's arm and gave him a warm hug and a passionate kiss that Troy deepened. They finally broke apart and Gabriella wiped away her tears.

"Put it on for me?" Gabriella held the necklace up for Troy to see.

"Of course." Troy took the necklace and placed it around her neck. Gabriella then looked at it and smiled at Troy.

"I don't know what I would do without you. How did I become so lucky?"

"If anything, I would have to say I'm the lucky one. You are smart, beautiful, kind, sweet, and so much more. I don't know how I'd manage if I never met you. You complete me Gabriella Montez."

Gabriella was now about to cry again but she held back the tears and smiled at Troy. "So I guess we were both lucky to find each other."

"Yes we were. I'm telling you we should really, and I mean REALLY thank that emcee at the New Years Eve party."

Gabriella chuckled. "Yes we should but right now we would be really lucky if we got to school on time. We've been sitting in his car for almost 20 minutes already!!"

"Ok let's go then."

8:27 AM

Gabriella and Troy ran to their homeroom just in time before the late bell rang. Gabriella walked to her desk trying to catch her breath while Troy looked like he was about to faint.

"Since when did this school get so big?!" Troy said as a couple of huffs and puffs escaped his mouth.

"Troy, out of all people you are telling me that you are tired?" Chad exclaimed as he walked over to Troy and did their hand shake. "Please your dad makes us run way more then that."

"Hey! I didn't warm up. We were afraid we were going to be late and then have to endure minutes of Ms. Darbus lecture about punctuality."

Gabriella was at her desk admiring her locket when Taylor and Sharpay came over.

"Congrats Gabi!!" Sharpay screamed as she gave Gabriella a big hug followed by Taylor and her hugs. "You and Troy have been going out for 1 month already!!"

"Thanks Sharpay. Thanks Taylor. Yes I know, it's so strange how its already been one month and that so much has happened in this 1 particular month." Gabriella replied as she looked down at her locket again.

"Oh my goodness Gabriella!! Did Troy give that to you?!!" Taylor shouted as she leaned in closer to have a better look at the gold locket.

"Yes he did Taylor, and if you guys were any louder I bet the whole world could have heard you." Gabriella whispered as she let out a chuckle while staring at her overly excited friends. "Hey where is Kelsi?"

"I don-" As Sharpay was about to finish her sentence Kelsi walked in the room and headed towards the girls.

"Hey guys!! Congratulations on your one month Gabi." Kelsi said as she was holding a stack of what looked like books.

"Thanks Kelsi!! What are those you holding?" Gabriella asked as she eyed the papers in her hand.

"Oh they are the scripts for Twinkle Towne. Rehearsals are starting next week." Kelsi replied as she handed a script to Gabi and one to Sharpay. "Oh here is your music script also."

"Thanks Kelsi." Gabriella replied with a loving smile and then looked at Sharpay. "Sharpay did you take up another role in the musical?"

"Well yes. Acting has always been a thing for me and since I couldn't get the lead role this time I guess why not just land another role. I know I was suppose to be the under study but I thought why not try something new. At least I'm still in the production." Sharpay replied as she smiled as flipped through the script. "Ryan also decided to play another part in the musical."

"Oh yea! Sharpay can you give this to Ryan when you see him." Kelsi handed another script to Sharpay and then one to Gabriella. "Gabriella can you give this to Troy also. I have to run right now so I'll see you guys later ok?"

Kelsi then turned around and left the room but not before she went over to say hi to her boyfriend Jason and give him a kiss.

"So Gabriella. Did Troy tell you where he was going to bring you tonight?" Taylor asked as she eyed Gabriella suspiciously.

"No he didn't. He kept telling me that it was a surprise and that I would find out when I do." Gabriella then looked at Troy who was across the room talking to the guys when Ms. Darbus walked in.

"Ok everyone!! Enough chitter chatter and go take your seats, I have a few announcements to make."

Everyone ran around to room scurrying to get to there seats. Taylor took her seat next to Gabriella while Sharpay took her seat in front of Ryan.

"Now all of you who are performing in Twinkle Towne, rehearsals start next week. Make sure you listen to the announcements to know exactly what time."

Troy turned around to look at Gabriella. Gabriella caught Troy's glance and smiled back at him. Troy smiled back and then turned around to face Ms. Darbus again.

"Next, our school will be holding a carnival to raise money for things for our school like books, programs and more. The carnival will be held this weekend the 24th, 25th, and 26th. Now I need people to volunteer to work in the carnival at various stations. The list will be on my desk at the end of class if any of you would like to volunteer."

Gabriella looked at Taylor who looked back at Gabi with a grin on their faces. They thought that a carnival was going to be a great idea and they wanted to volunteer with all their friends.

Suddenly the bell rang and Gabriella went up to Ms. Darbus' desk to sign her name on the list.

"Come on you guys!! Volunteering at the carnival will be a whole lot of fun!!" Gabriella shouted to the gang they walked over to her. Gabriella handed the pen to Taylor for her to sign as she look at everyone else. "Think about it. We get to spend the whole day together and its for a good cause."

Everyone just looked at each other while Gabriella and Taylor had a pleading look on their faces.

Sharpay then had a grin on her face. "It sounds like fun. I have nothing to do this weekend anyways!!" She then took the pen and signed her name. "Come on you guys."

Everyone else then just agreed. They had a happy look on their face after thinking about it. It's a carnival, who doesn't have fun at carnivals?! Also it was for a good cause.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4:00 PM

The rest of the school day was a total blur. Gabriella just went to her classes and then it was the end of the day. Troy drove her home and told her to get ready by 6:30. That was when he was going to pick her up. Gabriella could not wait till tonight. Troy wouldn't tell her where he was taking her so she was really anxious. Gabriella was in the middle of doing her homework but all the thoughts of Troy's surprise and the carnival dragged her mind away from all her algebraic equations. Gabriella just walked over to her bed and collapsed on her purple lilac bedding. She rested her head on her head board as she took her iPod out of her bed and plugged it into her Bose sound dock. She pressed shuffle and got up to get ready for her outing.

If I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

Gabriella walked towards to her closet while humming the song as it played. She looked through and saw this baby blue knee length dress that she bought a week ago when she went shopping with Taylor and Sharpay. She remembered that Sharpay spotted it and thought that it would be perfect for Gabriella. 'I guess it's a good thing I bought this'

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

Gabriella slipped on the dress. If laid right above Gabriella's knee and had a bow that Gabriella tied on the back. She went over to her vanity table to apply some light make up.

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these wispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right

Oh if I never knew you
If i never knew you
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...

It was already 5:55. Gabriella let her hair fall loosely on her shoulders. She looked at herself in the mirror as she listened to the song play.

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love wuold be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right
we were right

And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
If I never knew you (oh)
If I never knew you

Gabriella sang along with the song and thought about how much the song related to Gabriella's thoughts about Troy. What would Gabriella be doing right now if she never met Troy. If they never sang together on that faithful night in the ski lodge, if her mom didn't get transferred to Albuquerque she would have defiantly not of heard from Troy again. She thought about it over and over. If she never met Troy she would still be the freaky math girl at some other school right now who no one got to know because they all just thought of her as some brainiac; but Troy looked past that and saw Gabriella for who she really was. For that, Gabriella was thankful.

Gabriella walked out to her balcony and rested her arms on the railing looking up at the stars. She then saw Troy park his car in front of Gabriella's house. It must have been 6:30 already but Troy did not notice that Gabriella was standing on her balcony. Gabriella looked at Troy walk to her door and ring the doorbell. She heard her mom open the door for Troy and call Gabriella down. Gabriella turned around and closed the door to her balcony. She grabbed her purse and looked at a picture of her and Troy singing together at the Twinkle Towne call backs. Gabriella then started to sing as she put the picture back down on her desk.

"I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you…"
