Author's Note: Okay, this site was not working yesterday and it really pissed me off. But now that it's working, I'm happy. Lol. And, since this site was on the fritz forever, I am so sorry that I didn't update yesterday. But anyway, here you go.

Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical. If I did, I would be writing another great screenplay instead of writing on fanfiction and making a couple of more millions. Anywho, here's chapter two.

'Beep Beep Beep' rang Gabriella's alarm clock. Gabriella rolled over and hit her clock forcefully. She sighed and looked up at her ceiling, not wanting to get out of bed. 'Great, here's another fascinating day in the life of Gabriella Montez, She thought as she crawled out of bed. Gabriella stumbled over to her bathroom, undressed and got into the shower.

Gabriella lived in a small apartment, ten minutes from her office. It had two bedrooms, a conjoining bathroom to her room, a kitchen, and a living room. It was fairly small, but she liked it that way. It was just right for her, and she didn't have to share it with anyone.

She got out of the shower, and got dressed in simple attire. She had on a black skirt, with a blue blouse. She put on her heels, brushed her teeth, put her hair up in a pony tail and bolted out the door.

When she arrived at her office, she found her co-worker, Cindy waiting beside her door. Cindy had dirty blonde hair, and blue eyes. She was nice, and was usually helping Gabriella with weddings that she couldn't handle herself.

"Hey Gabs," she greeted with a smile.

Gabriella took out her keys and smiled back. "Hey Cindy. What's up?" she asked as she unlocked her door.

Cindy sighed. "Not much, except Jamie's been hounding me with weddings," she said as they both walked into Gabriella's office.

Gabriella put down her keys and purse on a table beside her door. "She's pestering you too, huh?" Gabriella asked.

Cindy nodded gravely. "Yeah, and I already have three I have to plan in the next three weeks."

Gabriella chuckled as she sat behind her desk. "You're lucky. I have five before next month, and now Jamie said she might be giving me one today," Gabriella said while she started checking her mail.

Cindy sat up at this. "The California wedding? She's giving it to you?" she asked excitedly.

Gabriella looked at Cindy suspiciously. "Yes," she answered slowly.

Cindy's smile grew, so she was now grinning ear to ear. She then looked at the picture of Gabriella and Troy, and then looked back at Gabriella. "Do you know whose wedding it is?" she asked.

Gabriella raised an eyebrow, not understanding the point Cindy was trying to make. "No, I don't," she responded.

Cindy just sat there, grinning. "Well then, I wouldn't want to spoil it. I'll be in my office if you need anything," she said as she got up quickly and ran out of the room before Gabriella had a chance to ask anything.

Gabriella sat there, looking at the place where Cindy was just sitting and furrowed her brow. She then shook her head and started to work at her computer.

"Gabriella!" Jamie exclaimed as she threw open the door to her office.

Gabriella jumped a little at her voice, but looked up.

Jamie strolled over to her desk, and dropped another manila folder on it. Jamie looked at Gabriella and smiled.

"Another wedding. They'll be here tomorrow," she said.

Gabriella looked at the folder. It was chocked full; it looked as if though someone had already planned it. The papers weren't organized; they were sticking out at different places. Gabriella felt her mouth drop open as she tried to lift it. She let it plop down to her desk as she looked up.

"Jamie, I already have five weddings to plan before next month! You can't possibly expect me to do this one!" Gabriella proclaimed as she once again tried to pick up the folder.

Jamie smirked. "Remember what I said last night? You're one of the best, Gabriella. They'll be here tomorrow," she said as she turned and started to walk out of her office.

Gabriella's eyes widened as she watched her walk towards the door. "Wait! Jamie! I…but…no," Gabriella stuttered as Jamie slammed the door closed. Gabriella sighed and slumped down in her chair.

She once again looked at the folder, and saw that it was barely even able to close. Gabriella opened the folder, and looked at the application.

Name: Melanie Dashsend

Age: 24

Address: 124 Peckerwood Lane, Las Angeles, CA. 90201

Preferred date of Marriage: June 4th, 2014

Preferred Theme: Cream colors, oranges, whites…

Gabriella stopped reading, shoved the application back in the messy folder and pushed it aside. She was about to go get a cup of coffee, but suddenly her phone rang.

Gabriella sat back in her chair and picked it up, "West Side Wedding Agency, Gabriella Montez speaking, how may I help you?" she asked.

"By trying to make me not as nervous," the other voice replied.

Gabriella smiled; it was her friend Jackie. Jackie was getting married tomorrow, and Gabriella helped plan their wedding. She met her and her fiancé, John in college at a party. She was happy they were getting married; they were perfect for each other.

"Relax, Jackie. You'll be fine. John isn't going anywhere, he loves you, trust me. And you will be great. The dress we picked is breathtaking; you'll look fantastic," Gabriella said into the phone.

"Thanks, Gabi. So how's work going? Last I heard from you, you said that your boss was really riding you with more and more weddings," Jackie said.

Gabriella sat up and looked at the untidy folder next to her. "Yeah, she still is. She gave me another huge wedding today; the folder with all the information in it is massive! The bride must be rich. Apparently these people are from California," Gabriella answered.

Jackie's voice now became animated and thrilled. "From California? Your boss gave you the wedding from California? As in Las Angeles, California?" she asked eagerly.

Gabriella made a confused look. "Yes, she did. Why is that such a surprise to everyone?" she inquired.

Jackie started to laugh quietly. "Ahh, Gabi. Good luck with this one, that's all I am going to say."

Gabriella's face became indifferent. "Okay, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Jackie."

Jackie chuckled. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye," her voice rang in the phone.

Gabriella shook her head and hung up. 'What does everyone know that I don't?' she asked.

"The people here have gone completely nutters," she mumbled before she stood up and started to walk out of the office. She turned and walked down the hallways, passing Jamie's office. Unfortunately, while she was passing, Jamie was coming out, causing them to bump into each other and fall to the ground.

"Watch it!" Jamie yelled as she bumped her head, but then her expression softened when she saw it was Gabriella. "Oh, sorry, it's you. Just the person I was looking for," she said as she held a hand down to help Gabriella up.

Gabriella mentally sighed and groaned; whenever Jamie said that it meant more work. But, she took her hand nonetheless and stood up.

"Yes, Jamie?" she asked, praying that she didn't sound irritated.

Jamie plastered a grin on her face. "Good news. I forgot that you had the Greens' wedding tomorrow, so it would be impossible to meet with the new clients. So, I moved their meeting to today, and that way, they can come to the Greens' wedding tomorrow with you to see your work," Jamie finished, still with the grin on her face.

Gabriella's eyes widened. "Today? When? Jamie, I have a lot of work to do, can you please run these things by me first before you change anything?" she asked.

Jamie's smile faltered. "Fine. From now on, I run everything by you. Okay?" she asked in a mock tone.

Gabriella grimaced, but nodded.

Jamie's smile returned. "Good, we have a deal then. Go back to your office; they should be here in about ten to twenty minutes," she said before walking back into her own office.

When she turned around, Gabriella stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes at Jamie's retreating back. Once she was inside, Gabriella grunted and slid down the wall. It wasn't that she didn't like new clients, she did. It was just at the moment, she had a lot of work on her hands, and this wedding seemed like a huge deal. Apparently it was, because Jamie, Cindy and Jackie new about it and were excited.

Gabriella sighed, got up, and started to retreat back to her office. Before she opened her door, she examined it. It was clear and intangible, and had her name on it in white, bold letters. She smiled a little, and then walked in. Gabriella then tried to tidy up her workplace a little more, filing papers in their proper place. Once she thought it was presentable, she sat back at her desk.

'Better read more on these people before they come in,' she thought. She pulled the folder towards her, (it took two hands and a little force to do so) and opened it once again. Automatically, a stack of papers slid out of the folder and onto the floor. Gabriella sighed, and then muttered a curse word you would usually not hear from her. She bent down to pick them up, stuffed them all into one huge pile, and then slammed them down on her desk, not caring how cluttered and chaotic they looked.

She started to read through the first paper, which was about where they wanted to wedding to be. Gabriella took a sip of her water, but then almost spit it out when she read where they wanted the reception. They wanted it to be at Zeke's restaurant, because 'they knew the owner by an old friendship in high school'. Gabriella looked at the bride's name again; Melanie Dashsend. 'We didn't have a Dashsend in our school…' she thought. But then it hit her like a ton of bricks. She swiftly tried to find the application through out the stack of papers, but was failing miserably. She was so determined and distracted to find out the groom's name, that she didn't hear her door open.

"Gabriella?" a surprised voice asked.

Upon hearing her name, Gabriella's head snapped up, and then froze when she saw the person standing in her doorway.

In her doorway, was an older, leaner, and taller version of Troy Bolton. He seemed to be frozen also, because when she looked up, his eyes widened and stared at her in shock.

Gabriella's heart started to speed up, and knots were arriving in her stomach. "Troy?" she asked quietly.

This seemed to snap him out of his trance, because she slightly smiled and nodded. Gabriella began to smile, walked around her desk and wrapped him in a giant hug. Her arms were around his neck, while his were around her waist.

She broke away, a huge smile on her face. "How have you been? I haven't seen you in years!" she exclaimed.

Troy's smile began to falter, and he chuckled nervously. "I've been good..." he answered as his hand flew up to the back of his neck.

"What brings you here?" Gabriella asked, now excited.

Troy was going to answer, but then suddenly the door opened and a girl with red hair and blue eyes walked in, smiling. She then pecked Troy's cheek and turned to Gabriella.

"Hi, I'm Melanie. Are you our wedding planner?"
