Chapter 4

"So you're rooming with Troy's younger sister Casey, in our old room." Gabriella said walking with her little sister.

"You've got to be shitting me." Stella scoffed. "Who's Bella with?"

"One of Troy's cousins I think?" Gabriella said and opened the door revealing a blonde headed girl who was sitting on Stella's bed.

"She's sitting on my bed, why can't she sleep on your bed?"

"Mine is more comfortable."

"You've probably had sex with Troy in it." Stella exclaims disgusted. "Oh that's so gross!"

"Hi can I help you two." Casey said looking up. Gabriella walked away and Stella watched.

"Yeah you're in my bed so get up. So since this is my room I get the closet space and you get the dressers, or dresser." Stella said. "Cool?"

"That's not even fair, there are two closets."

"Well, I want Gabriella's old closet then." Stella said and opened it seeing it full of clothes, shoes, and accessories. "What the hell."

"Do you need to cuss?" Casey asked annoyed.

"Do you need to question my every move?" Stella smarted back.

"Whatever, you have a bad attitude."

"Yeah, and you're having a bad hair day." she mumbled then turned to the closet.

"What did you say?"

"Why doesn't your mom like my mom?"

"Cause your mom is an arrogant bitch." Casey scoffed.

"Ugh! Did you just call my mom an-an arrogant bitch?"

"She is, all of you are. Especially your sister, I don't understand what Troy sees in her. I just really don't hope her marrys her."

"How could you say that! You selfish country trash!" Stella exclaims. "My sister and your brother are happy together, so I'm happy!"

"I'm not even from the country, I'm from New Mexico."

"I didn't ask, and before you go and call people arrogant. You should check your attitude first, because it's not so pretty." Stella said then looked up seeing Juliet standing there.

"Uh, lunch is ready." she said then walked away.

"I'm coming." Stella said and turned around walking out behind Juliet.

...

Gabriella was brushing her hair then the door opened.

"Lunch is ready Gabi." Bella said smiling at her older cousin.

"I'll be down in a second."

"Okay." Bella said then ran downstairs. She went to the diningroom where everyone was sitting and sat down beside Stella. The table was split in half Montez on left, Bolton on right.

Gabriella and Troy walked into the room together and everyone looked at them.

"Did everyone find their rooms?" Gabriella asked politely.

"Is there anyway I can change rooms?" Stella mumbled to Gabriella who elbowed her.

"Yes sweetheart, thank you so much." Mrs. Montez smiled at her daughter.

"Your welcome, and I hope everyone likes their rooms. I made sure they were cleaned and-"

"Here we go with the bragging." Mrs. Bolton huffed rather loudly. Troy, Mrs. Montez along with her three kids shot daggers at Mrs. Bolton.

"Atleast she has something to brag about." Stella said and looked up from her nails. "Better something than nothing."

"You're such a bitch, what did I do too you?" Casey yelled.

"You just called me a bitch, what didn't you do." Stella said calmly and rolled her eyes.

"Stel, shut up." Gabriella said and Stella obeyed her sister.

There was an awkward silence.

"So is everyone ready to eat! Zeke just finished getting everything ready to serve!" Sharpay smiled walking into the room.

"Set the main dish in the middle and the side dishes around it." Zeke said as the cooks and butler brought plates of food from the kitchen.

"Thank you so much Zeke!" Gabriella said and smiled at him. "This is perfect and it smell delicious!"

Everyone started eating and Taylor looked up at Sharpay.

"Who made the rolls?"

"I did! It's my mo-"

"They're disgusting." Taylor said bluntly.

"Ugh! Who do you think you are! Insulting my moms receipe!" she exclaims. "How rude."

"They taste fine to me." Juliet said and smiled at Sharpay. "You're mom knows how make good rolls."

"Too bad you have more rolls than me." Jennifer mumbled. Juliet scoffed and looked at her.

"I'd rather have rolls than handles and muffin tops." Juliet said smirking.

"So how's everyone enjoying their meal?" Troy said.

"Troy, this is great." Mrs. Bolton said and smiled at her son.

"This lunch is very good, what are we doing after lunch?" Aunt Jamie asked. Gabriella looked at Troy, then Troy looked at everyone then Gabriella.

"Well, I have to meet my assistants to see what they bought for the auction and I need to buy a dress to auction at the...auction." Gabriella said unsure if she should've said that. "But maybe-"

"So you're going to let us stay here, while you go out and worry about yourself. That's sweet." Casey mumbled under her breath.

"Well the auction is for the charity to help feeding kids in other countries that live in poverty. It's like UNICEF a bit." Gabriella explained.

"When's the auction?" Stella asked.

"Not for another, 4 months. But I have to be prepared and I want to get the best stuff for the auction also!" she said smiling.

"Troy what are you doing today?" James, his older cousin, asked him.

"Well I was planning on going with Gabriella, and letting you guys just have a day to do whatever..." Troy said.

"Well I like that idea! I need to tan then maybe I can practice my surfing a bit, do you wanna come Marcos?" Stella said. "Juliet?"

"We'd love too!" Juliet smiled. "I haven't surfed since last time we came and that was a long time ago."

"Well then that's what we're doing." Stella said.

"I wanna come!" Lilianne said.

"Let's make it a Montez family trip, shall we?" Mrs. Montez spoke up smiling.

"Mom! What if everyone wanted to come?" Gabriella said.

"Please, like I'd want to waste my time with you high-class snobs." Troy's Aunt Silvia said. Gabriella's eyes widened and she looked at her mom.

"Whenever I'm around you people, I always loose my appetite!" Mrs. Montez announces and gets up walking out of the room.

"Great, here we go again." Troy said under his breath. Gabriella touched his arm then looked at him.

"I'm going to go get ready to go." she said then got up leaving the room. Troy got up and followed her.

"Ella are you okay?" he asked her as they walked up to their room.

"I'm fine, why would you ask?" she said.

"You just seem...a little fustrated." he said. Gabriella continued walking and opened the closet looking at all of her clothes.

"I'm not fustrated at all, Troy." she said.

"You are, you only say my name when you're fustrated or when we're having sex." he said. He pulled her hand and made her look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing Tr-baby." she said and fake smiled. Pulling out a white at the top and pale mint skirt high-low dress, a beach hat, and white zigzag strapy louboutin heels.

"Why are you changing your clothes?" Troy asked.

"Because, I just..." Gabriella's voice faded out as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing white shorts with a peach collar sheer shirt and a white undershirt. "I-I look a mess, and I shouldn't walk out of the house like this."

"Ugh, what's wrong with you!" he exclaims as he watched Gabriella changing. She throws her shirt and pulls her shorts down then looks at him as she takes the dress off the hanger.

"I. Am. Fine." she said annoyed. Then began putting her dress on, she looked over her shoulder at him. "Zip me up." Troy rolled his eyes and zipped her dress up. She sits down and bends over to put her shoes on but Troy gets a chair in front of her picking up her shoes and pulling her feet to him. He begins putting her shoes on and smiles at her.

"I'm sorry." he said. "If you say you're fine, then I should just stop asking."

"It's okay." she says and smiles at him. "Thanks for putting my shoes on."

"Anything for you my lady." he says and finishes putting her shoes on. She takes her feet off his lap and stands up. She puts her hat on her head and smiles at him. "I love you."

"And I love you too, but more." she says happily. She picks up her white leather Chanel messenger bag that matches her outfit and picks up her phone. "I'm ready!" she sings.
