Chapter 12:

Party/ wedding:

"I've always wanted to go to Tokyo!" I said.

"I know. Me too. They are so lucky. I mean Jake is a baby and I'm 27. He's been to Tokyo already." Sharpay explained with her jealousy.

"Yeah." I agreed.

2 days later. Party day!

"Oh she's so cute!" My old friend Miranda from the school I went to before East High.

"Yeah. Her names Anna." I explained.

"Oh. That name reminds me of my grandma's best friends child's pet monkey." Miranda explained.

"How?" I asked.

"Her name was Banana." Miranda told me.

"Oh." I said then turned away and rolled my eyes because she started crying.

"Kayla?" I yelled when I saw my old friend from the same school I met Miranda at. The one I went to before East High.

"Gabi!" Kayla yelled.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked as we hugged.

"Well you're mom called me. I just had to see you." Kayla explained.

"Can you believe it's been 13 years?" I explained.

"I know. It's been so long. And you look great!" Kayla complimented.

"Thank you. So do you." I said.

"Yeah well I guess for a person that has had 4 kids, I do look pretty good." Kayla explained.

"Wow. 4 kids." I said.

"I've well only had one." I said.

"Yeah. And she is so adorable!" Kayla explained. "What's her name?"

"Anna." I said.

"She's so cute." Kayla said.

"Yeah." I said.

"Hey. Guess who else is here." Kayla said.

"Who?" I asked.

"Chris." Kayla explained.

"Who's Chris?" I asked.

"Gabriella! I never thought I'd see you again!" Chris said giving me a hug. Chris is also from my old school. Oh god. Chris totally loved me back in high school before I went to East High. He is so annoying.

"Oh. Chris. What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well you're mom called me." Chris said.

"Oh, I'll have to be able to thank her later." I lied.

"Is this your sister?" Chris asked looking at Anna.

"No, this is my daughter. Anna." I explained.

"You're daughter?" Chris asked.

"You do know this is a baby shower don't you?" I asked.

"Well ya, but I thought it was for your sister." Chris said bumbed.

"Hey Gabi." Troy said coming up and wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Hey Troy. Uh Troy this is one of my old friends Kayla. And this is one of my old, old, friends Chris. They're from my old high school that I went to before East High." I explained.

"Hi." Troy said shaking Kayla's hand.

"Hi Troy." Kayla said.

"Hi." Troy said holding out a hand for Chris to shake. But he didn't shake it.

"Uh. Troy, can you take Anna for a second?" I asked.

"Oh. Sure." Troy said taking Anna.

"Thanks. And Chris can I talk to you for a second privatly?" I asked.

"Anything for you." Chris said.

"Ah huh." I said rolling my eyes. We went into a bed room.

"Chris. Don't you understand that I am engaged now! Ok, you are not my boy friend, you never were and you never will be. I am happily engaged to Troy." I explained.

"So you're not married yet?" Chris asked.

"Well no, but I am engaged and we are getting married next monthe. I have a daughter too." I said.

"Well that may be true, but that still doesn't change the way I feel about you." Chris said then walked out of the room.

"Chris!" I yelled then ran after him. But I couldn't find him so I ignored it.

"Hey Sharpay. Taylor." I said sitting next to them at a table.

"Hey Gabi." They both said. I had a worried face on.

"What's wrong?" Taylor asked.

"Oh. A lot of my old friends from the school I went to before East High came today and one of them I was hoping I would never see again." I explained.

"Who?" Sharpay asked.

"His name is Chris. He was totally in love with me in high school. And I guess he never let that go. And anyway when I saw him today he was being rude to Troy so I'm afraid he'll do something to Troy." I explained worried.

"Well I hope he doesn't." Sharpay added.

"Yeah." I said.

"Is he cute?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh yeah?" Taylor added.

"He's alright." I said. "And that's him."

I said pointing to him.

"Oh. He is cute." Sharpay said starring at him. "Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Doubt it." I said.

"Great!" Sharpay said getting up but I stopped her.

"Rememeber Zeke?" I said facing her to Zeke.

"He's alright." Sharpay said sitting back down.

"Hello Gabriella." Chris said sitting down RIGHT next to me.

"Hello Chris. I'm Sharpay." Sharpay said holding out her hand.

"Hi." Chris said ignoring the shake.

"I'm Taylor." Taylor said not bothering to hold out a hand.

"Hi." Chris said rudely.

"So where's this Troy guy of yours?" Chris asked me.

"He's probably just chatting with guests." I said scooting away from him.

"Oh. He's not here with you unlike me." Chris said. "Take my advice. Dump him."

Chris left the table.

"Now that's what I call rude." Taylor said.

"See what I'm up against." I said wanting to kick him.

"Gabi!" Caitlyn yelled coming in with my mom. My mom got out of the hospital yesterday.

"Hey Caitlyn!" I said as she jumped on my lap. "Hi mom."

She gave me a quick kiss.

"Hi sweetie." My mom said. "Hi girls."

"Hi Mrs. Montez." They said.

"Hey Caitlyn!" Sharpay said.

"Hey!" Caitlyn said. "Hi Taylor!"

"Hey." Taylor answered.

"So did you and mom go shopping for your flower girl dress yet?" I asked.

"Yeah! It's so cute! Mommy says I look adorable in it." Caitlyn said excited.

"Good. And have you guys gone and got your brides maid dresses yet?" I asked.

"Well I thought you were gonna pick them out." Taylor said.

"No. I want you guys to go to my wedding feeling good about how you look, cause you might not like what I pick out for you." I said.

"Thanks Gabi." Sharpay said.

"Have you gotten your wedding dress yet?" Taylor asked.

"Oh yeah. I got it the day after Troy proposed." I explained.

"Well can we see it?" Sharpay asked.

"Nope. You can't see it until the wedding day." I exclaimed.

"Oh come on Gabi." Sharpay whined.

"No. Just like I don't wanna see your dresses until the big day." I explained. "And I don't wanna see your dress until that day."

I started tickling Caitlyn.

"Ok! Ok! Stop!" Caitlyn laughed. Then I stopped.

"Hey Gabi. I got to go." Miranda said giving me a hug.

"Oh bye Miranda." I said. "But first. Miranda this is my two best friends Sharpay and Taylor."

"Hi." Miranda said.

"Hi." Sharpay and Taylor both said.

"And this is my little sister Caitlyn." I said.

"Hi." Caitlyn said shyly.

"Hello there." Miranda said. "She is so cute."

"Yeah." I said. "Are you coming to my wedding?"

"I'm sorry Gabi. Justine's having her wedding that same day." Miranda explained. "But I'll call you."

Miranda left.

"Why does she always do this to me? She always blows my parties or something off for someone else. And now she's blowing my wedding off for a girl she barely even knows. And I'm her best friend." I explained up set.

"Oh. I'm sorry Gabi. But rememeber me and Taylor are still going." Sharpay said trying to cheer me up.

"I know." I said.

"And me." Caitlyn said. Then I kissed her on her forehead.

The BIG day! My wedding! And it's 1 month later.

I stayed at my mom and Caitlyn's house with Anna last night and Troy stayed at Chad and Taylor's house. People say it's bad luck to see each other before your wedding.

"Ok Sharpay and Taylor are on their way over. I have to pick up my dress at the store. And then we all have to go get our hair done." I explained rushing around.

"You already picked up your dress." My mom corrected me.

"Right." I said. I'm just so nervous.

"Now all you have to do is ask Troy's dad to walk you down the isle." My mom said.

"Right. I already did that though. And he is so excited." I explained.

"Gabi! Gabi! You need to relax! The wedding isn't for another 3 hours. You have plenty of time." My mom said calming me down.

"Ok." I said sitting down. "Who's gonna carry Anna down the isle?"

"Anna's going down the isle?" My mom asked.

"Of corse. I'm not gonna get married without my daughter in the wedding. Can you walk her down the isle?" I asked.

"Sure I can." My mom said sitting next to me.

"Thanks." I said.

2 hours later. We all have our hair done and we're all in our dresses.

"You look so beautiful." Sharpay said.

"Thanks. I feel beutiful." I said.

"Yeah." Taylor added.

"I love your guys dresses." I said. Sharpay is wearing a beautiful hot pink dress with sequences on the top and on the waist and the bottom. Taylor is wearing a black dress with little laces everywhere.

"Thanks. So do I." Sharpay said.

"Yeah." Taylor said.

"Ok. Let's do this thing." I said.

45 minutes later. At the church.

"So is everyone here?" I asked.

"Yes. The church is packed." Sharpay said.

"Good. Is Troy here?" I asked.

"Yes Gabriella. The groom is here." Taylor said.

"And is my mom?" I asked.

"Yes." Taylor said.

"Is Anna?" I asked.

"Yes. Anna came with you here." Sharpay said.

"Is Caitlyn here?" I asked.

"Yes. Caitlyn is here. Everyone is here!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"Ok. I just wanted to make sure. Do you think Troy really does love me?" I asked.

"Gabi!" Taylor and Sharpay both said.

"Ok. Sorry." I said. "Is my father here?"

"Gabi!" They both said.

"Sorry." I said.

"And anyways. You're father is in jail." Sharpay said.

"But there is someone here that you wish wasn't." Taylor said.

"Who?" I asked. Taylor turned me to face Chris.

"Chris! What are you doing here?" I yelled at him.

"What is it so bad that I came to your wedding?" Chris asked.

"Well yes. I mean you hate my future husband. And you love me. I don't want you at my wedding." I said.

"I hope he doesn't call an objection." Sharpay said then her and Taylor walked away.

"Oh come on Gabi. I'm sorry about that. I don't love you." Chris cofessed. Then I gave him a look that says 'Really?'. "Ok maybe I do. But I love you as a sister. You were one of my best friends in high school. I know I wasn't one of yours but you were mine. And If you love Troy, then I guess I better like him too."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm sorry." Chris said. "Truce?"

"Yeah." I said.

"And Chris, you were actually one of my best friends." I said.

"Really? Cool." Chris said. Then I hugged him.

"Now go get a seat." I said.

"Right." Chris said. "Good luck."

"Thanks." I said. Then he went into the wedding room or whatever you call it. I went in the back room.

"Oh. Caitlyn you look so cute!" I said giving her a hug.

"Thanks. You look beutiful." Caitlyn said.

"Thanks." I said picking her up and giving her a kiss. "I love you."

"Love you too." Caitlyn said.

5 minutes later! Wedding time!

Sharpay and Zeke go down the isle with Taylor and Chad following then Kelsi and Jason go down then Caitlyn goes down throwing flowers then my mom goes down with Anna in her arms. Now it's my turn. I wrap my arm around Troy's dad's and we start walking at the special music starts.

Dah-dah-dah-dah...dah-dah-dah-dah...dah-dah...yeah yeah etc.

Oh Troy looks hot in the tuex. There's Chris. He looks pretty cute too. He better not make an objection. Now we at the aulter and Troy took my arm.

"Do you Troy Bolton, take Gabriella Montez to be your wife?" The priest asked.

"I do." Troy said with a smile.

"And do you Gabriella Montez, take Troy Bolton to be your husband?" The priest asked.

"I do." I said returning a smile.

"Now you will share you feelings of love for each other. The rings please." The priest said. Then we put the rings on each other.

"Now are there any objections?" The priest asked the crowd. I'll kill him if he does it. But he just sat there. Oh thank god.

"Ok. Well I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest said then Troy flipped my vail and we kissed, and everyone cheered. Then we broke apart, and ran down the isle and into the limo.

"Oh that was so fun!" I said right before Troy could kiss me, but then he did. "Can you believe we're married?"

"I know. I am the happiest man alive!" Troy said giving me another kiss.

"And I am the happies woman alive!" I said returning his kiss.

"I don't wanna go into that reception." I said.

"I don't either." Troy said giving me another kiss.

10 minutes later. At the party.

"Attention! Attention! I would like to propose a toast to the newly-weds. Troy And Gabriella Bolton. To the bride and groom!" Sharpay said.

"To the bride and groom." Everyone said.

"Gabi!" Caitlyn said running up to me and jumping on my lap.

"Hey Caitlyn!" I said.

"You look so adorable!" Troy said.

"Thank you." Caitlyn said. Then I whispered something in her ear. "You look very handsome."

That's what I told her to say.

"Thank you." Troy said smiling.

"Hey guys!" My mom said.

"Hey mom." I said. "Hey Anna."

I took Anna in my arms when Caitlyn got off.

15 minutes later. They started to play us singing Start of Something New. Kelsi recorded it the last time we sang it for her. We started to dance.

"I remember the first time we sang this together." I said.

"Yeah. We were forced to sing it at a karaoke contest at that ski lodge that we both went to." Troy explained.

"Yeah. And then we exchanged phone numbers and then we ended up going to the same school." I said.

"Yeah. And I don't know how I could ever not thank that guy for making us sing." Troy said.

"Yeah. And I remember when I almost fell off the stage cause you were getting too close." I said laughing.

"Yeah. But luckily that guy caught you." Troy said.

"And you almost walked off the stage because you thought that I wouldn't sing with you." I said.

"Well you did." Troy said.

"I guess I did. But I was so nervous." I said.

"Yeah. So was I." Troy said. Then the song ended.

"I'm gonna go talk with Chris." I said.

"Why?" Troy asked.

"Don't worry. I just want to thank him for something." I said. Then I kissed him and left.

"Hey Chris." I said.

"Hey. Congradulation." Chris said giving me a hug.

"Thanks. Look I just wanted to thank you for not making that objection. I was afraid you would." I cofessed.

"Me make an objection. I would never do that to you Gabi." Chris said.

"Thanks." I said. "But I just want you to know that you will always be my friend. Even if you are the most annoying pest in the world."

"Thanks. And you'll always be my friend. Even if you are the most beutiful girl in the world who loves someone else and totally can sometimes hate my guts." Chris said.

"Thanks." I said then I hugged him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Miranda!" I yelled noticing her walking in the door.

"Gabi!" Miranda said as we ran and hugged. "I am so sorry I missed your wedding. I felt so bad. I mean I barely even know Justine, and I realized the only reason I went there was because of the things she'll be giving out. Please forgive me?"

"I forgive you. I guess Justine is a rich spoiled bratt." I said. "I understand. Thanks for coming."

"Chris is here?" Miranda asked.

"Yeah." I said. "But we worked things out."

"Good for you. What is he doing to that banana?" Miranda asked. He was twisting it and trying to make it look like a noodle. We laughed and walked away.

"Hey Troy." I said as I sat down next to him. This is my friend Miranda." I explained. "Miranda, Troy."

"Hi." Miranda said.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Troy said.

"Where's Anna?" I asked.

"She's with Caitlyn and your mom." Troy explained.

"Ok." I said.

"Um. Excuse me. Would you mind if I got a picture?" The photographer asked us.

"Oh. No. Sure. But wait a minute." I said. "Sharpay! Taylor! Chad! Zeke! Jason! Kelsi! Caitlyn! And Anna! Get over here!"

I needed them in the picture. The all came over.

"Ok. Now I'm ready." I said. "Wait! Kayla!"

Then she jumped in the picture.

"You ready now?" He asked.

"Yep." I said. Then he took the picture.
