A couple of months later, well three, everything was going great. I was still dating Derek and he was still in Europe, his parents were back there one more time because he was almost done filming. He had asked me about coming to visit him but he forgot about it after a while. But I am so excited right now because we are on the way to the set of Wildfire!

"So you happy," Troy asked me. I looked at him and smiled. Unintentionally I started jumping up and down in my seat like many other times. "Okay, I get it, you're excited."

"Oh yeah. I cannot thank you enough for bringing me with you. I can't wait. And plus, now I get to see you in action," I said. We were in the limo that they had sent to pick us up.

"I'm glad to have you with me. I would be alone if you weren't here." He said.

"Mr. Bolton, Ms. Montez, we're here." The driver said turning around. He climbed out of the car and opened our door.

"Thank you," I said getting out.

"call me when you're done or if you need anything," He said before getting back in the car and leaving.

"Mr. Bolton!" A woman came running up to us holding a clip board. "I am so happy that you are here. And who is this?" She asked pleasantly.

"I'm Gabriella Montez, Troy's friend. I hope it's okay that I'm here," I said.

"It's fine. Here is the script. Read it over memorize the lines and the rest of the cast is hanging out in the lounge that we have for them. It's straight through there and to the right," She said and ran off.

"Let me see," I said wanting to know what was going to happen.

"nu-uh, there's no way I'm letting you see what's going to happen," Troy said holding the script away from me.

"Please?" I looked at him and pouted. He was slowly giving in and lowering the script. "Pwease?" He sighed and let his arm fall.

"We'll read it when we're in the lounge. Come on," He said taking my hand. We walked towards the lounge and stood outside.

"you going to open the door?" I asked.

"Yes, I am," He said and opened the door. Once the door was fully open we got a full view of everyone staring at us. "Hello." I feel like I'm going to faint.

"Hey!" Everyone said. We walked in and sat down on one of the couches.

"We've been waiting for you. Who's this?" Genevieve asked sitting down next to me.

"I'm Gabriella Montez," I said sticking out my hand.

"She's one of the show's biggest fans. She's knows everything about it," Troy said making me hit him in the chest. "It's true"

"Whatever," I mumbled.

"you're the girl who was dating Troy's brother right?" Nicole asked.

"What do you mean, I'm still dating him. Right Troy? I didn't break up with him right? He didn't break up with me?" Troy shook his head. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you haven't seen. It's all over the tabloids and in a couple of mags," She said handing me the latest issue of People. I looked at the cover. 'BOLTON CHEATING? OR DID THEY BREAK UP?' I looked at it again surprised.

"That's not Michelle Tisdale is it?" I asked trying to suppress my smile and act sad. They shook their heads. "Excuse me, I have to go and yell at my ex," I said standing up. "Do you mind if I do it in here?" They shook their heads.

"We'll just leave," Ryan said.

"No, it's fine. You can stay here. It's going to be funny," I said taking out my phone.

"Why do you sound happy?" Greg asked.

"Well, promise not to tell anyone?" The nodded. "don't judge me but I never really wanted to go out with him, but I had to say yes and I could never break up with him because I never had a reason. Until now," I said. I dialed the number and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hey baby! How are you," He asked like nothing was wrong.

"Hey! Tell me something," I said. "Do they have People in Europe?"

"Yeah, they've got most of the magazines we have plus a couple more. Why?" He asked.

"Oh well there's an article in it, and it's great. You can totally tell that they're in Europe and that it's not a movie set or something. And the picture is so clear there's no mistaking that it's someone else," I said. "Want me to read it to you?"

"Okay, Gabi is there something wrong?"

"Oh, no there's nothing wrong. Let me just read it to you. Caught in Europe where he is filming his new movie, Derek Bolton was seen kissing another European that is not part of the set. They were seen at a little café where they thought they would not be noticed. Is Bolton cheating or has his relationship with Gabriella Montez, gone down in flames already! More pictures on page 36."

"Gabi it's not what it looks like. I promise. We had to do that. Michelle and I had to." He started.

"Oh, well two things. You two aren't on a movie set and isn't Michelle Tisdale blonde?" I asked.

"Well, yes but it's—please Gabi, I'm sorry give me another chance." He begged. "I love you so much!"

"No, Derek I don't want to hear it! I didn't think that you of all people would do this! God, I can't believe you," I yelled. I pretended to calm down and talked more softly. "Derek, maybe this long distance thing isn't for us."

"What are you saying. No Gabi this can work, we can make it work," He said. "Please don't say it."

"We're over Derek," I said. I hung up before he could say another word. Everyone was looking at me. "I had to make it believable." I sat back down next to Troy as my phone started ringing. "It's Derek." I pressed ignore and put my phone on silence.

"You happy?" He asked. I nodded. "Good, now let's look at this script." He pulled it out and opened it. We read it all over.

Troy was going to be playing a guy named Daniel who Pablo worked with at a different jail. He brings him to Raintree to help out with the dude ranch. And he is a natural with horses like Kris. He, Junior, and Matt become really good friends and he learns of all the drama. In the end he tries to help Junior realize who he really loves but has to leave and go back to his family.

"You're a rebel," I said smiling and hiding my laugh.

"Shut up. Do you guys know when we're going to start filming?" He asked them. Greg, Nana and James had already left while we were reading.

"Yeah we usually start whenever they get ready which could be anytime. But what about you, are you up for the part?" Genevieve asked.

"I think I can. And plus I've got my best friend here to support me," He said pulling me in tighter.

"Well then good and you do know how to ride a horse right?" She asked.

"That's what Gabi asked me when I told her. But yes I can ride a horse. Never a race horse but I'll try," He said. "We even watched all of the episodes that were on DVD. Thanks to Gabi."

"we also got sick by eating too much," I said. "It took me forever to get back to normal size." They all laughed.

"So Gabi, you're not an actress right?" Ryan asked. I shook my head. "That's too bad. We're looking for someone to play a small role but so far we haven't gotten anything."

"That's a good idea," Nicole said. "We should ask about it."

"I'm not an actress though. I wouldn't know what to do," I said shaking my head.

"No you aren't but have been in plays with Sharpay," Troy said. "you could do it and it's only a small role right?" He asked.

"Yeah just someone that visits the ranch and kind of follows us around and helps around because her parents had to leave early and she didn't want to go," Micah said. "I'll go ask really quick." He was out the door before I could say anything.

"Really you should find someone else. I was just a supporting role and it was only one play," I said.

"what about that one you told me about where Shar couldn't make it because her family was going to be in Spain and so you got the lead." Troy asked.

"Well there was that but really it's fine," I said.

"No, we need someone. No one's been able too because they're all busy and the writers changed it last minute," Ryan said. We were all sitting in a circle. "I'm sure you could do it. It would only be for this episode unless you're willing to do more"

"you would even get paid, as much and Troysie over there is getting paid," Genevieve said. "And Micah's already checking on it."

"It's fine, I've got enough money from my job," I said.

"Gabs, you're not going to work at that book store forever. Come on do it, that way you don't just have to watch. Please?" Troy asked.

"Hey guys, they said it would be awesome if she could do it. So, what do you say? But they also said they may go with the original. So we may not need her." Micah said coming back into the room.

"I guess I could try if they need me," I said. They all cheered and stood up. Troy pulled me even closer so now I was almost sitting on his lap. "So, do you have a different script. I didn't see another role in this one."

"Oh yeah, here. They also said that they were going to give you the night to memorize everything. And to be back here at eight tomorrow morning to start filming, well make up and wardrobe." He said. We grabbed the two scripts he handed us and flipped through them.

"They said we could all leave and we'll start tomorrow," Greg said popping his head in. Troy and I got up said bye to everyone before walking out.
