Troy looked at Gabriella who was fiddling with a strand of her hair. "What's wrong?" "I'm so nervous." she said to him. Gabriella and Troy were having dinner with their parents to tell them about the marriage and so they could all meet eachother, for the first time. "What if your mom hates me, will you still marry me?" Gabriella asked nervous.
The two of them sat in Troy's limo as his driver drove them to the 5-star resturant. Troy being a CEO of a record company and Gabriella since her parents were millionaires she lived the easy life, she was an heiress and all she had to do was make special appearances at events.
"Of course, I'll still marry you. You know how much I love you? To much to let you go." he said then Gabriella laughed. The limo stopped and the door opened. Troy got out then put his hand out for Gabriella. She got out of the limo and walked into the resturant with her hands on Troy's arm. "I'm so nervous." she mumbled as the hostess escorted them to their table.
They sat down. Gabriella was wearing a yellow floor length formal summer dress that was strapless with yellow, pink, green, purple, and white floral heels her hair was up in an updo with a white rose in it. Troy was wearing a tuxedo with a yellow tie to match Gabriella's dress. "Hi baby, you look beautiful!" Gabriella heard her mom say. She looked up and smiled happily.
"Mom, dad! You're on time!" she laughed.
"When have ever been early or late?" her mom said and smiled.
"We're always late." her dad said laughing. Gabriella smiled and put her hand out for Troy.
"Mom, dad this is Troy Bolton my fiance'." she smiled. "Troy this is my mom Felicia Montez, and my dad Daniel Montez."
"Fiance', Gabriella...you're getting married. T-That's great!" her mother smiled big. "It's nice to finally meet you Troy!"
"It's nice to meet you too." he said to Felicia Montez. Who had sat down across from Gabriella.
"Nice to finally meet the man who's been stealing my daughter from us." Daniel Montez laughed and then sat down beside Gabriella.
"I really missed you guys, how is everything?" Gabriella asked her parents.
"It's stressful, you know how rude some French business people are?" her mother complained.
Gabriella never really understood what her parents did for a living besides traveling the world and creating a line of clothes. She knew they did something more spectacular than that but never could understand what it was.
"Tell us some about your fiance'?" her dad asked.
"Well he owns his own record company." Gabriella said.
"Wow, that's great!" Mrs. Montez smiled big. "Who is under you?" she looked at Troy.
"I'm mainly working for artists trying to get noticed, but I have worked with Usher, Rihanna, Florence and the Machine, and David Guetta." he explained. Mrs. Montez started talking until a women and a man came over to the table.
"Troy hunny, you look mighty handsome!" his mother cooed at him.
"Mom! Dad! You're here!" he smiled at them and stood up to greet them.
"It's nice to finally see you son." his dad smiled.
"I have someone I want you to meet." Troy said and Gabriella stood up smiling. "This is my...fiance' Gabriella Montez. Gabriella these are my parents my mom, Laurel Bolton and my dad John Bolton."
"Hi, it's nice to you meet you guys." Gabriella smiled.
"Fiance', Troy what are you talking about?" his mother ask him.
"I'm marrying her?" he said and laughed.
"Okay." his mother let out a breath. They sat down and looked across the table at Gabriella's parents.
"I'm Felicia Montez and this is my husband Daniel Montez, we're Gabriella's parents." Mrs. Montez said smiling brightly.
Troy's parents weren't the richest, they weren't in the high class they were in the lower middle class. His father being a high school basketball coach, and his mother being a art teacher.
There was an awkward silence as the waiter set down their drinks. Gabriella kicked Troy under the table and he looked at her.
"Sweetheart, your ring is beautiful!" Felicia Montez smiled big. "I've never seen anything like it? Troy did you choose it or did someone help you?"
"I had someone help, but she was no help at all and I choose this on my own." he smiled.
"Who helped you?" His mother asked him.
"Sharpay, Gabriella's bestfriend." he said.
"Ahh, Sharpay. She's one of those girls you can't forget because she's so unique." Daniel Montez smiled. "I remember first meeting her Gabriella's senior year and she was wearing nothing but pink."
"She hasn't changed a bit, Dad." Gabriella said.
"So, um, Gabriella." John Bolton said. Gabriella turned to look at him. "How long have you known Troy."
"Well, I've known him since..." Gabriella thought she was 25 and Troy was 26. She had met him about two years after her graduation from high school. "I've known for like 5 years now."
"How long have you two been together?" Her mom asked her soon to be son-in-law.
"We've been together for like a year and a half almost two years." he said smiling at Gabriella. He loved her so much.
"Well we know what my son does for living what do you do Gabriella?" Laurel Bolton asked looking at Gabriella.
"I'm an heiress, so I really don't work. I make special appearances at events and help out with charity fundraisers and stuff." Gabriella explained.
"So you're telling that since you're parents are rich it makes you rich too?" Mrs. Bolton asked rudely.
"Mom, honestly-"
"My daughter has no reason to work, if she's already in line for billions of dollars." Mrs. Montez said snobish rolling her eyes.
"I just-I work-I work with charities and help out with a lot of events." Gabriella said nervously looking down.
"I thought you just made appearances." Mrs. Bolton said sarcastically. "You act like you're a Kardashian or something."
"Why are you being so rude?" Troy asked
"She mine as well be one." Mrs. Montez hissed ignoring what Troy said.
"Mom!" Gabriella snapped at her mom.
The table went silent and the waiter placed their food on the table.
"Who's paying for this meal, it's obvious we can't afford it." Laurel said glaring at Felicia.
"We know the owner, he's our friend." Troy said. "It's free."
"Even better." she said.
"This is a disaster." Gabriella whispered to Troy, but not quiet enough.
"How long have you guys been engaged?" Mrs. Montez asked smiling.
"About a...month?" Gabriella said unsure to what was going to happen next.
"A MONTH!" Mrs. Bolton exclaimed. Mrs. Montez just smiled at her daughter.
"That's great baby." she said to her daughter.
"So you date this girl for almost two years and we hear nothing about her, then you just decide to marry her. Besides that fact that she's an heiress. What happened to wanting a girl exactly like you!" Mrs. Bolton exclaimed.
"She's everything I want in a woman mom." Troy said rubbing Gabriella's thigh. She scoffed.
"Troy, she's nothing you want in a woman. She's living off your paychec-"
"My daughter isn't a gold digger, if that's what you're implying.
"Of course she isn't!" she hissed.
"I'm hungry anymore." Mrs. Montez said and threw her silverware on her plate.
"Me either!" Mrs. Bolton snapped.
"Mom can you please stop!" Troy snapped at his mom.
Gabriella looked at her dad begging for help.
"We should just support their decision, they obviously love each other." he said looking at his wife and the Bolton's then the kids.
"Or they love what the other has." Mrs. Bolton hissed.
"I'm ready to leave!" Mrs. Montez said. "I'll see you later Gabriella and Troy. I love you both!" she started stomping away.
"Mom where are you going!" Gabriella said getting up and running after her mother.
