The response to the trailer was great! Thank you everyone for reviewing, and encouraging me to go on. Reading all of the reviews really made my day. Come on 12 reviews for a trailer? I LOVE you guys! Lol. Anyway, this is my first time actually posting a Fanfic. I looked at the trailer, and saw tons of mistakes in my first post. Anyone else see them? Haha. Don't worry; I'll try to be more careful next time. :) But hey, it was 1 o'clock in the morning. You can't blame me. :P No more typing, onto the first chapter!
Who's That Girl
Chapter 1- Pancake Ritual
Gabi's POV-
It was a regular day for me. I woke up and did my normal morning routine, and I walked downstairs, to see such a familiar sight in front of me. My parents were making breakfast, but with their twist of course. Dad was playing around with the pancake mixer, and my mom was telling him to stop, and of course, he spilt some on my mom, and a pancake batter war was started. The house was soon filled with sounds of pancake batter dripping, and my parents' laughter. I would've have joined in like I normally do, but I'm wearing a new shirt, plus I'm going to be late if I have to get ready again.
"Gabi… Gabriella?" I was brought out of my thoughts when I suddenly felt something felt tugging on my jeans. I looked down to see my little 5 year old sister, Isabella. I kneeled down to her eye level to see her. She looks exactly like me when I was younger. A little short, curly brown hair, deep brown eyes, and an exotic complexion.
"Yes Izzy?"
"Where's mama 'n daddy?" she made a puppy pout.
"They're in the kitchen. But I wouldn't go in there unless you want pancake batter in your hair."
Isabella started to giggle lightly. "So? It's still okay."
"I think mom already made some eggs. Come on. I'll take you there."
I smiled and picked up Isabella with one arm and we made our way into the kitchen.
"Gabby, sit Bella, over here." My mom said, and she pulled out a chair. I let Isabella down, and she ran over to her chair. My dad was already seated at the table, along with my mother. They were both covered in pancake mix, but that didn't bother them. They just sat there like nothing was wrong. They were both talking to Isabella for a while, until they noticed that I didn't sit down. My dad turned around, and they both focused their attention on me.
"Gabriella, aren't you going to join us?"
"Actually, I would love to, but Taylor arranged another Scholastic Decathlon meeting this morning." I looked down at my watch, "By the looks of it, I'm gonna be late. Sorry guys, but I really have to go. " I grabbed a piece of toast, and kissed my parents and Isabella good-bye. "Love you." "Bye Gabby."And with that, I grabbed my backpack, and left.
I really wish that she didn't make these meeting so early in the morning. They were rescheduled for me. Since I have cheerleading practice in the afternoons, and I always had to miss the meetings. So then, Taylor got the "brilliant" idea to switch the times so now have the meetings in the morning. I'm really glad that the school's close to my house. I started to think about school and life in general for me. I smiled. My life's perfect. I just need to work on the Troy issue. I was about to sigh, but then I saw Taylor standing there in front of the school in a daze. Typical. She's been hanging out with Chad and Jason too much. I silently giggled.
Taylor's POV (5 minutes earlier)
Here I am, standing outside of the school, and Gabriella still hasn't shown up yet. Maybe her parents made the pancake batter explode again. That happens way too much. I remember the first time we slept over at her house; it was when I first saw the "pancake ritual".
Flashback (10 years ago)-
"Hey Gabs, what was that explody sound?" I asked her as abrupt laughter started downstairs.
"Yeah Gabby, I'm kinda scared." Sharpay replied.
"That was just my mommy and daddy. It happens like every morning. I got used to it. It's kinda funny. Wanna see?" She asked us as she got out of her sleeping bag, and opened the door. She walked out, and we hesitantly went after her.
"Come on guys, down here." She said as she pointed downstairs. We went with her, and saw her parents laughing loudly. The kitchen was covered in batter, the windows above the sink, the cabinets, the draws, the refrigerator, and even the eggs and pancakes that were cooked already
Sharpay, ran in front of us because we left her behind, but she accidentally slipped on the floor, and ended up with tons of batter in her hair. Gabriella and I started laughing so hard. It was really funny, until she threw some at us, then it was war. Everyone was throwing, and dodging the batter. It must've seemed fun, because after the three of us were throwing, Gabriella's parents joined in. And let's just say Gabby's mom has a good arm.
15 minutes later, everyone, and everything was covered, we were still throwing, even when my, and Sharpay's parents came in. They didn't see it coming, but when they stepped into the kitchen, they were immediately blasted with the batter by, yours truly. It was an accident, I was aiming for Sharpay, but she ducked. I really regretted it, when I first saw their reactions, but then they suddenly joined into the fight. Later, it was Parents, against kids. They beat the kids so badly. I guessed that they've done this before?
"I can't believe that you two still do the pancake ritual in the morning. And now, you bring our children into it." My dad said to Gabby's parents.
"Hah, we don't. Until Jake over here, spilt everything, and Sharpay fell into the mess. Then, it was college all over again, but our kids' style." Gabby's mom replied as she pointed to us.
Gabriella and I were laughing really hard over her mom's last comment. That didn't go so well to Sharpay, because after we were laughing, she threw the pancake covered eggs at us, and another war was started. Everything was thrown, everything from milk, eggs, to even plain water. It was really fun, until we had to clean it up 30 minutes later. And that was not fun at all. Cleaning up the mess was basically tort--
End Flashback.
"Tay, Taylor!?" she was waving her hand in front of my face.
"Huh, what? Oh hey Gab. Ready to go?" Gabriella laughed slightly.
"What were you thinking about earlier? Before I brought you back to earth?" Gabriella was not giggling.
"Ha-ha. Very funny. But I was thinking about our first sleepover at your house when we were six, remember the pancake ritual?"
Gabriella started laughing really hard that she was clutching her side. "How could I forget? That's when we first discovered my mom's good arm, and Shar's evil side."
I laughed at her comment. "Yeah, and we also discovered that that was our parents college ritual."
"Right, but I still don't get it though. How could a food fight be considered as a ritual?"
"I have no clue. But remember when Shar fell down because we left her?"
"Yeah, she was so scared. It's hard to believe how mean she turned out to be nowadays."
"I know! But at least her anger is directed to the guys and not us."
"Oh! Remember when she cut off a piece of Chad's afro off?"
"Oh my god. That was super funny!" We were laughing really hard. But then, I gasped as I look down at my watch.
"Come on Gabs, we're almost late to the meeting." I grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the school, we were both giggling.
Troy's POV (30 minutes later)
I was practicing in the gym, with Chad, Jason, and Zeke. I looked up at the clock, and it read 7:30. Gabriella and Taylor should be done now with the meeting now.
"Come on guys it's time to go get the girls." I said and I made another free throw.
"Okay Cap, Jason and Zeke, go get the drama queens, and you and I will go get the brainiacs." Chad said as he pointed at me, and started laughing.
"Dude, the girls are going to kill you if they ever find out that you call them those names." Zeke reminded him. I patted Chad on the back. As I said, "You better watch it man. I heard Sharpay has some anger issues that she really needs to get out." Chad cringed. "Those nicknames never leave the gym. Remember that guys." He said. "Aw, Don't worry man. I'll try to find time to go to your funeral." Jason said as all of us laughed. "Yeah, yeah. Tease the guy with the beautiful afro."
"Okay. That's enough you guys. We'll tease Afro Man later, with the girls. Maybe Sharpay will cut off another piece of it." Everyone was chucking when I said that. But Chad was almost in tears. "That was not funny! It took me forever to grow that piece back." I threw my hands up in defeat. "It's okay Chad, chill." I looked up at the clock again, "It's time. Let's go get the girls before we're late." I threw the basketball into the basket with the rest of them and went to the locker room.
Jason and Zeke left. Chad and I were the only ones left. I went back to the court to gather up the rest of the basketballs, as for Chad, I had no idea what he was doing. After I was done, I felt someone tapping on my back. I turned around to a scary sight. It was a Hyper Chad.
"Troyhurryup." Chad said really fast as he was jumping up and down. "Did you eat the candy that was in my bag?" he laughed. "Duh. It tasted good, and now it feels good! Dun, dun. So good! Oh! Like a sugar and spice. Whooo!" I backed away from him a little. "That was for the whole gang. Uhh, whatever. Just go ahead man without me. I gotta get my stuff from my locker."
"Kaybuttohurryupthough!" I winced, and he left.
15 minutes later, I showered, and I had on clean clothes. I went to my locker and threw my gym bag inside. Then, I got my books for the next two periods. The moment I looked up, I saw a mysterious looking blonde in front of me.
Wow. I wonder who the blonde is.
I'm not really proud of this chapter, but it's okay. I'll try for a better one next time.How did I do on my first post? I didn't really know how to write it out. I did it this way, and other way, but I finally decided to use this version. Please read and review. I want your opinions. So I'll know how you want the story to be like. I'll try my best to make the story more interesting. I don't want to lose any readers already.
I have another story idea, I'll make a trailer for it soon, and I'll get it up. Hopefully you guys will like it just like you liked this story. And I'm going to make a list of all of the characters and their backgrounds, like boyfriends, relationships to Gabriella, etc. See? You have those two to look forward to, and chapter two for Who's That Girl.
I'll probably get the next chapter up in a couple of days Depending on how much you want me to continue and school's starting next week for me, and I have to get ready. I didn't do what authors normally do. I didn't write out the whole story. I'm writing as I go.But I do have the storylineSo, yeah.Okay. No more rambling. Thanks again, and review!
P.S. I didn't really have time to check it over. Sorry if there are lots of mistakes or anything. ;)
