Gabriella walked into school happily the next week, her face was covered in make-up and she was wearing a short denim skirt, a tight fitting bright pink tube top, with peep toed heels. She had her hair down, straightened. She looked rather slutty, this wasn't the real Gabriella Montez, anyone could see that, but all the guys at school liked it so what the hell??? She had changed, she had changed so much, she now hung around with the sluts and whores of the school AKA the cheerleaders, everyone else thought she seemed happy with them, but under all that make-up and done up hair lied a broken girl, who needed help. She needed someone to love her, as much as she would love them, but only one person could ever do that for her.
"Whore over here!" Gabriella heard her new friend Amy shout over to her.
Gabriella smiled and walked over to the group of cheerleaders who were stood outside the girls toilets chatting away happily. Not all of them were slutty whores, but they were all complete bitches, Gabriella knew she was only hanging around with them because she could get them into the club, but its better to have some friends, then none at all.
Gabriella didn't think it was her fault that Kelsi, Robert and Ryan aren't friends with her anymore, she just thought it was because they were jealous that so many people were talking to her now and that she was getting more and more popular. She must admit she did like all this popular stuff, but she did like being able to do what she wants, and not have to worry about dressing best or making sure your hair was perfect.
"Hey Guys, what's up???" Gabriella asked her new group of 'friends'.
They all looked at each other with the same look and then looked at Gabriella smiling. She knew what this meant, they wanted something, probably to get into her dad's club again.
"You singing at the club again???" Emma a less slutty cheerleader asked her.
"Yeah I'm singing again, you wanna come??" She asked them all as they grinned and nodded their heads excitedly. "Okay, I guess I can get you in, be there at 8pm." She said as they all squealed happily and hugged Gabriella.
A Few minutes later they were stood in the same place, watching as everyone walked into school, only wanting to make fun of what they were wearing or how their hair was done. Soon enough Kelsi, Ryan And Robert walked through the doors. The Cheerleaders all looked at Gabriella and smirked.
"Look at That Ryan Guy, I swear he's gay, all he wears is pink!" Zoe the head cheerleader said and pointed at Ryan, while they all laughed, even Gabriella.
"And Oh emm gee what is that geek kelsi wearing?! It's so s years ago!!" Jamie, another cheerleader exclaimed loudly and everyone looked at Kelsi and laughed.
Gabriella couldn't help but feel a little bad, Kelsi had helped her when everyone was being a bitch to her, and if she hadn't then she would have still been popular and hanging around with Troy, Sharpay and the others. Soon enough Kelsi had run off and Ryan had followed her while Robert just glared at Gabriella as if to say 'what the hell are you doing hanging around with them?' Gabriella just ignored it and turned back to her friends, as Robert walked off.
A few more moments later, Troy, Sharpay, Chad, Taylor, Zeke and Jason walked through the doors. Gabriella smirked this was what she was gonna do to be treated like royalty around here from now on. The cheerleaders had said she needed to do something to the head group of the school if she wanted to be at the top, so this was her chance.
As Sharpay was walking past her, she quickly spat her gum and put it in her hair and then tripped her over. Sharpay screamed and fell on the floor, as everyone in the corridor laughed except form her 'group' of friends AKA Troy, Chad, Taylor, ect.
"Sharpay I think you have something in your hair!!" Gabriella exclaimed and laughed as everyone else did.
Sharpay sat up and glared at gabriella evilly, She stood up and got up into Gabriella's face. "You think your so awesome now, by getting to the cool people?? But you know gabriella your still just a tiny piece of trash!! You can't just get everyone knowing your dad owns an awesome club and think that your so popular!! It takes hard work!!" Sharpay yelled at her cousin fiercely, as Gabriella kept her guard up.
"Well If you think about it 'Shaneise' I already am popular, people are talking to me, people are wanting to hang around with me. You remember when that was you?? Yeah you do, its not you anymore! So step back, it's not your spot as queen anymore!!" Gabriella yelled at her.
Sharpay just smirked at her, Gabriella can't be queen after a few weeks, and she knew it. "Okay, you wanna play? We can play Gabriella!!" She yelled.
"Fine, war." Gabriella said and walked back to her friends, as Sharpay stood there smirking.
"Shar what the hell are you playing at??" Taylor exclaimed as she walked over to her.
"Winning this war and teaching her a lesson!" Sharpay exclaimed as she got her phone out, and dialling her hair stylists number, so she could get her extensions taken out where the gum was. "Now if you will excuse me I'm taking the morning out to get this gum out of my hair!" She added and strutted out of school.
----------------------------------
"Right so we need to think of a plan, we need to knock her out of the game! She can't just come waltzing in to school, and claim to be queen!!" Sharpay exclaimed dramatically.
"Well she hasn't just come waltzing in, she's been going here for 3 years Sharpay." Taylor said as they sat in Sharpay's bedroom thinking of a plan.
"Yeah whatever, but she was hardly ever noticed before." Sharpay replied and looked into her full length mirror.
"Okay, well you and Jess already tried filming her in the club and showing everybody, what else could we do??" Taylor asked as the guys came in with food.
"Oh my god I know what to do!!" Sharpay exclaimed and smirked evilly.
"What are you talking about??" Chad asked as he but into his burger.
"Is Ryan downstairs?" Sharpay asked the guys.
"No, your cook person thing said he was out with friends." Jason said thinking of the right word.
"Okay, well.. All we have to do, is make Gabriella think that we wanna be friends with her again, and let her join our group, we be nice to her and actually act as though we ant to be friends with her and this is just so we can get popular again and then we will just drop her and make everyone think she's a geek again, oh and I'll convince her to get her dad to sell the club to my dad." Sharpay said and smirked evilly at them.
"Shar, that is really mean and devilish!" Taylor exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's Sharpay, what do you expect?" Chad joked.
"Yeah, so what do you say, we go to the club tonight and get this plan in action?" Sharpay asked them, as they all looked at each other, really not knowing what would be the best idea. Should they hurt Gabriella all over again just so they could get their popularity back? They knew it would be a very risky move, if this did work out the way Sharpay wanted it to, they had no hope of Gabriella ever talking to them again. They had to work this right and if not it would go the wrong way like Sharpay's last try.
"I'm in." Troy said, as Sharpay smiled widely and looked at the others. They all finally agreed and were going t the club that night, to put the plan into action.
-------
Gabriella sighed as she brushed through her black straightened hair, she looked into the mirror in her dressing room back stage and saw a girl she didn't recognise. She was wearing so much make-up to cover up the fact she had been crying. Her hair was straightened down again, wearing little black shorts, a bright pink tube top, black heels and bright pink legwarmers. She eyed herself, in the full length mirror, and sighed. She knew this wasn't the real her, but she needed to dress like this, she had to if she wanted friends, even if they were stuck up cheerleaders.
"Hey Gab's, you ready? Your on in about 3 minutes." Her brother, Daniel said. (Okay I can't remember what I called him before lol, so he's now Daniel).
"Yeah, I'll be out in a minute." She replied as she looked back at him quickly.
She saw, that he was staring at her, and had a disappointed look on his face. She sighed, great he was gonna have a talk with her about something.
"Gab's, what are you doing??" He asked her as she turned and looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why are you hanging around with the stuck up cheerleaders, falling out with your friends and dressing like a slut!" He said to her, as she just gave him a dirty look.
"What so you don't want me to have friends?! Is that what your saying Daniel!?!? You want me to be a loner, like I was a month ago!!!!" She yelled at her older brother.
"No I want you to have friends, but the right sort of friends Gabriella.." He replied, as she still glared at him fiercely.
"Well news flash! Not everyone can be perfect Daniel! Not all of my friends are going to be up to your perfect expectations! And it's not up to you, how I dress or who I am friends with! This is my life and I'm sick of everyone else trying to run it for me! I don't need you doing it! I'm 17!!!" She yelled at him, clearly pissed off at him. Well she really didn't want to take this all out on Daniel, but she needed to do it on someone and he was there and just tipped the iceberg. So here she was yelling at him, for just trying to get her to see some sense, but she wasn't gonna have any of it.
"Gabriella.." He started but was cut off.
"No, Daniel, just leave me alone! I need to go on stage!" She said and walked out of the dressing room onto the stage. She slowly set up her, microphone and started to sing, she had wrote this song when they had all gone up to High School and when everything started changing.
----
With Troy and the others
They walked into the club and sat down at the front next to the stage, so they had a perfect view of Gabriella and so that they could catch her when she got off the stage. They had to talk to her they needed to. They needed their popularity back, well that's all Sharpay, Chad, Taylor, Jason and Zeke cared about. They didn't care about Gabriella's feelings, Well Troy never thought he did, but in actual fact he did, he really did, and he was going to show her that he did.
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened, there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own
(Sorry the person who gave me the song idea, i think it was kiegharbra or something, but i couldn't find that song lol)
As Troy stared up at Gabriella, liek they had been during the whole performance, he knew that all of her heart was put into that song, and her voice just sounded extremely amazing aswell. She put all thoguht and heart into that song and Troy knew it was about him god even jason knew it was about him!
As he looked into her gorgeous brown eyes, he felt something, he didn't knwo what it was, but he had felt it before. A long time ago actually. And He was just starting to feel it again, as he looked into her gorgeous brown eyes. What was it? Was it, the feeling of guilt or Love? He knew he had loved Gabriella in Junior High, but he hadn't felt it since they got pulled apart in high school. Well didn't get pulled apart, it was Troy's choice to leave her, even when Gabriella put up a hige fight to keep them all together. Sadly her hopes weren't enough to keep them together, High School was too much of a jungle for her. He sighed, as she turned away, he was inlove with the amazing and beautiful Gabriella Anne Montez again. He just hoped this time he would have the ourage to do something about it.
---------------------------------------
Gabriella finished the song, she looked at Troy and only Troy, she knew he was there and the other people she hated at the minute. She had been staring at Troy the whole was through the performance, it was supposed to be dirrected at him. She just wanted him to listen back when they were 14 or 15, if he had of then, they might have still of been best friends, or maybe even more.
She sighed as she turned around, she couldn't get close to Troy Bolton again, it would just break her heart again. She went backstage to change and then 10 minutes later, as she was walking out of her dressing room she saw 6 people she never thought she'd see backstage at her dad's club in her life.
Sharpay, Troy, Taylor, Chad, Jason and Zeke. They were all stood there, staring at her, they obviously wnated something. But what could the most popular group in school possibly want with Gabriella Montez, the ex geek, who was rising in popularity?
Okay guysm thanks so much for all the amazing reviews you all give me! I'm soooo sooo sorry i don't update much anymore, it's just i'm busy with other things, but im going to be VERY dedicated to this story from now on, because i've gone on break from my Youtube so i can concentrate on my fanfiction.
