Chapter 12: Ever Ever After
Gabriella went up onstage and she smiled. She was really nervous singing in front of East High and West, but if she won the talent show singing with Troy, then she could sing by herself.
Storybook endings
Fairytales coming true
Deep down inside
We want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart
It's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit
We all want to make it to
Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
Start a new fashion
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's realest
By making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up
Being glad to be you
Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you
It's not smart
Ever ever after
The world can be yours
If you let your heart
Believe in ever after
No wonder your heart
Feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's
A brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted
You just might break through
To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after
Ever ever ever after
(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)
For ever ever after

During lunch (at West High), "Gabriella, you were great today." Sharpay complimented. "Thanks." Gabriella smiled. She was glad that her friends liked it. "So, do you know what you're getting for Christmas?" Sharpay asked Gabriella. "Oh, a family dinner. It's a re-make this time. 5 years ago, Troy and I were late. It was because of this snow storm that came while we were walking to his house. So, my mom got mad and then we moved the next year. We moved every year since then right after Christmas and I don't want that to happen again. So I thought of having another dinner, but my dad's here with my mom and I. Also, my mom agreed to have the dinner at my house."
Gabriella replied. "Wow, that's a big present. I mean..besides that. What are you getting?" Sharpay wondered. "A car, a flat screen TV (36"), a laptop, and a black puppy (poodle, like Vanessa A. Hudgens dog)." Gabriella said. "I wanna know what kind of car, so I can see you every time I go somewhere." Sharpay assured. "Black mustang convertable." said Gabriella. "Who buys your clothes?" Kelsi asked. "I buy the clothes and my parents buy me the things I need." Gabriella answered.

Afterschool, Gabriella arrived at her house and headed upstairs. "Gabriella, you have to get ready for the dinner soon. It's at 7." her mom reminded Gabriella. "Okay. I'll tell Troy about it." Gabriella called from upstairs. Gabriella took out her cellphone as she speed-dialed Troy's number. "Hey." Troy knew that the caller was Gabriella, even if he didn't check the caller ID. "Hey. My mom said dinner's at 7." Gabriella said as she went through her closet. "Great. My parents already know that. You have an amazing voice. Did you know that?" Troy asked. Gabriella smiled. "Of course. You told me that many times while I was there."
Gabriella reminded. "12 times Troy." "Oh. So, what are you going to wear to the dinner at your house?" he asked her picking out a casual/formal shirt and some jeans to match. "I'm not telling Bolton." Gabriella replied strictly. "I have to go because it's like 4pm and I have 3 hours to get ready. See you at 7." "Right back at ya." Troy said and Gabriella hung up. She pulled out a red spaghetti strap dress and red heels to match (like the heels Vanessa wore in HSM 1). Gabriella took out a red headband and in 1 hour she was done. It was already 5 o'clock and she was really nervous.
It was just 5 years ago, Gabriella was wearing a white dress and white heels to the dinner.

Flashback
"Mom, does this dress look okay?" Gabriella asked her mom before the dinner.
"Yes. Now hurry up and get dressed. It was 5:30pm and Gabriella's mom didn't want the 2 of them to be late.
Gabriella got dressed and it was 6:15. There was a knock on the door and Gabriella went to answer it.
"Hi Gabs. You look beautiful today." Troy, to Gabriella, was a gentleman and he always was.
"Thank you. Mom, Troy's here." Gabriella called out to her mom.
There was a conversation between Troy and Gabby's mom. Troy promised he would bring her on time.
He never broke that promise until that night when they came late. Gabriella tried to explain, but her mom just didn't listen.
They moved after Christmas and every year.

There was a knock on the door and Gabriella, again, answered it. "Hey Troy." Gabriella greeted him. "You..." Troy paused. He looked at how pretty (beautiful) how Gabriella was and she couldn't believe it. Troy was lost for words. "You don't look too bad yourself." Gabriella smiled as she let Troy in. "Thank you." he thanked her with a bow. Gabriella giggled at the sight because she thought Troy was an amazing guy. He was funny, sweet, kind, caring, a great boyfriend, and he was still the same gentlemen he was before.
Gabriella's parents entered the living room. "Dad, I want you to meet Troy Bolton." Gabriella introduced Troy to her father. It was a Friday evening on December 24th and Troy's parents came for the dinner. Gabriella's dad and Jack (Troy's dad) sat at both ends, Lucille and her mom sat next to each other, and they placed Gabriella and Troy next to each other (on the left of Andrew 'Gabriella's dad). It was a quiet evening until a knock came at the door. Gabriella's parents stood up, but Gabriella said. "I'll answer it." Gabriella walked to the front door and Ryan was standing there.
"Ryan? Are you okay? Do you want to come in?" she asked him a series of questions. "Thanks." Ryan thanked her as he entered. "Why are you here?" Gabriella asked him again. "My parents had a big fight and they didn't want Sharpay to find out. Eventually she'll just have to find out why our Dad's leaving the country." Ryan explained. "And my parents wanted me out of the house and I had nowhere to go but here." "I'm so sorry Ry. You can stay here with us. We have 2 guest rooms upstairs, but first you have to eat dinner with us. I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind." Gabriella put Ryan's coat on the coat rack and they entered the dining room.
"Mom, um...can Ry stay here for a few days?" Gabriella asked her mom. Her mom looked at her. "Okay, 3 days tops. Until Sunday. Is that alright?" "Okay. Until Sunday and that's all." her mom said strictly. Gabriella nodded. "And..can he have dinner with us?" Her mom sighed and so did everyone else except Troy. Gabriella was 18 and still can't get her way with her parents. "No, it's fine. I'll just bring my food to my room and we can eat there." Gabriella took her plate and grabbed another fork for Ryan. They both headed upstairs.

"My mom has to be so hard-headed. She can never accept the fact that I'm not--" There was a knock at the door. It was Troy. "Hey, you want to sit down with us?" Gabriella smiled hopefully. "Sure. My parents just left and asked if I wanted to go home with them, but I told them that I would stay here with you. I have to be at 3pm tomorrow and my parents said 'Don't be late.'" Troy made Gabriella giggle. Troy sat down next to Gabriella. "So, Ry...tell me why you're here." Troy said. "My parents are having a huge fight. They're telling me that Sharpay shouldn't find out about this, but eventually she'll have to find out when our dad's leaving the country.
And my parents wanted me out of the house and I had nowhere to go. I could go to either Chad or Zeke's house or even Jason's, but their parents hate 'rich' people. So I decided to go here instead, even though Gabriella's mom wouldn't accept that." Ryan explained the 'full' story to Troy & Gabriella. Gabriella smiled. "You're not rich Ry. Shar looks like she's even richer than you, maybe she is. But I'm not sure. All I know is that you're the greatest friend that I've had in 5 years and no one can take that away from me." Gabriella replied.

January 15th
Dear Diary,
Today's the day I'm moving again. My mom (not including my dad) has decided that we're moving. I just wish that I can move out, maybe I can.
Love,
Gabriella Anne Montez

"Mom, this is the worst day ever! I'm not moving, I'm staying." I crossed my arms and pouted. "Listen to your mother." my dad said. "Never. I'm 18 and I should know what to do with my life. I know how to cook, clean, do the dishes, do the laundry, and everything else. I'm completely oraganized with myself and I'm capable of doing that." I fought back. "If you're staying, you're paying this house." my mom said. "The house is already paid and all I need is a job!" I screamed and went to my room.
