Hey readers. I'm still known as new on these terms but this is supposedly my second fanfic but first on HSM. I'm kind of starting this off because it's sort of based on my life and the dramas that happen to Gabriella have actually happened to me. But yeah I guess it's a way to let go of things for me. I hope you like it.

As for critics .. I will take them but only if its on something to improve my writing..the pairing is just how it is.. not changing that. Oh and also I understand that some of the things that the characters do are not of their usual natures, but this is a fanfic story so yeah I'm trying to make it go with what the characters would usually do but still try to keep with what really happened in my life. Sorry I'm making my author's note so long but I had a problem with that in my other fanfic and I don't want to open my email to like 505163 reviews saying the characters don't act like that. Hope you guys understand and thanks to whoever read and review in advance.

On with the story ..

It has been a month since the triple threat and Gabriella is now part of the 'gang'. After the auditions, Sharpay has admitted to defeat and now are absolute close friends with Gabriella and Taylor. The gang consists of Gabriella, Troy, Chad, Taylor, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, Jason, and Zeke.

Gabriella and Troy have been closer than ever but are just friends. They flirt like crazy and everyone can see it but them. Troy would skip free period practice to hang out wit Gabriella and would walk her to her classes everyday. He calls her after practice and they would talk on the phone every night. Gabriella had secretly developed a crush for him but didn't want anyone to know and vice versa for him.

One day, Gabriella was walking to the cafeteria to meet up with everyone when Susie, one of her friends from class called after her. "Gabriella!" Susie yelled.

Gabriella spun around. "Oh hey Susie" she said happily. They haven't talked for a while since they don't sit near each other in class anymore.

"Hey, how are you?" Susie asked a little out of breath.

"I'm okay, what about you? Any new guys?" Gabriella asked. Susie has always liked a different guy every time they talked to each other. Gabriella felt bad for Susie though since she annoys the guys she likes so much that they nearly stop being her friend. But then, Susie can't help it..she calls them all the time to try and get their attention.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you.. do you and Troy Bolton have a thing going ?" Susie asked.

Gabriella looked down but looked back up and straight ahead. "No, no, me and Troy? Haha..we're just friends. Why do you ask?" she said nervously but Susie didn't seem to notice.

"Oh good, because well..that's who I've been having a crush on for awhile.." Susie said blushing.

Gabriella's eyes widened. "Troy?" she asked not believing that Susie just said that.

"Yeah. He's so .. perfect. Such a sweet guy and not to mention cute. You're so lucky to be such good friends with him. I've been trying to do that forever." Susie said not seeing Gabriella's reaction.

"Yeah .. lucky me .." Gabriella said. All of a sudden, Susie stopped in her tracks with a huge smile on her face. Gabriella looked confused. "Susie why'd you stop?" Gabriella asked.

"Oh my god, you're good friends with Troy! Can you please help me get together with him?" Susie asked excitedly.

Gabriella looked as if she was about to die. "I-I don't know if I can do that Susie.." Gabriella started.

"Oh please Gabriella? I really really like him and you're such good friends with him." Susie's eyes were pleading as Gabriella looked at her.

And being the sweet Gabriella she was, she said "I guess..i'll try.."

Susie squealed and gave Gabriella a huge hug. "Oh thank you thank you thank you! You don't know how much this means to me!" Gabriella just stood there. She didn't know what else to do.

"Well I have to go Gabriella, I'll call you later and talk to you about this okay? Thank you so much again!" Susie said giving Gabriella one last hug. Gabriella smiled lightly and watched Susie walk away.

'What did I just get myself into?' Gabriella asked herself as she continued her walk to the cafeteria.
