A/N: I decided to try and write both this story and A Sister's Love. Thank you BostonSk8er9 for giving me the great tip. I kept thinking about it while I was writing this chapter. This is the longest chapter I have ever written!!!

Disclaimer for the entire story: I don't own High School Musical!!!

It was now Monday morning and Gabriella was starting to get ready for school. Gabriella was still upset about the whole Troy thing but she decided that he wasn't going to ruin her life. She was going to try to move on.

She met up with Taylor and Sharpay and began walking to school in silence.

"Gabi, are you sure you're okay?" Taylor asked carefully, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I'm fine" she answered calmly.

Taylor and Sharpay gave her a look.

"Okay, maybe I'm not," she began, "but that doesn't mean I will be. Now, let's hurry up before we're late." And with that said, Gabriella began to walk faster to school.

Once she entered the school, it all became silent and the entire student body started to stare.

"What are you all staring at?!" Sharpay screamed. The students jumped in fright and returned to what they were doing but kept making quick glances to get a good look at Gabriella.

Gabriella ignored all the whispers and stares she was getting and kept walking to her locker, like nothing had happened even though she felt like she was dying inside.

She started to get her books out of her locker when she noticed a certain boy with shaggy hair and electric blue eyes starting to walk towards her.

Oh no! she thought.

Taylor and Sharpay were nowhere insight so Gabriella would have to face him alone. How was she going to handle this, she wasn't ready to face him yet.

Troy was about to open his mouth when Principle Matsui walked in front of him.

"Miss Montez, can I talk to you for a quick moment?" the principle asked.

"Sure" she answered in relief. She would rather talk to the principle instead of Troy.

"We have a new student at East High," he began "and I was wondering if you could show him around. He has the same classes as you and I thought it would be a great idea if you could show him the entire campus since you know what it is like to be a new student at this school. Both of you will be able to skip any if not all your classes so you can show him the entire school. So what do you say, will you do it?"

"Well… Okay." she responded.

"Thank you so much Miss Montez. Please follow me into my office so you guys can properly meet."

Gabriella did what she was told and followed the principle to his office.

Once she entered the room, her eyes landed on the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen. He had dirty blonde hair and had a well built body. But one of his most marvelous features were his eyes. They were light blue but they were green too. She wouldn't mind getting lost in those eyes which looked so innocent. She snapped out of her gaze when she heard him speak.

"Hi, I'm Ben" he said sticking out his hand which she took.

"I'm Gabriella" she said while feeling sparks go through her body at his touch.

"Well I see that you two are getting along great so why don't you start the tour. He is all yours Miss Montez." and with that said, they left the room.

"So what has Principle Matsui told you?" she asked

"Well, he told me that you would tell me what I needed to know so instead he told me a few things about you. What he didn't tell me was how beautiful you are." He replied and then realized what he said so he started to turn red.

Gabriella blushed at the comment and said "Your pretty handsome yourself, Ben."

They didn't realize that they were flirting in the middle of the hallway.

While they were flirting, two girls were looking for their best friend.

"Where is she?" asked Taylor.

"How the hell am I supposed to know? You think she saw troy and made a run for it?" Sharpay said in a worried tone.

"I'm going to kill Troy if-"

"Are you guys looking for Gabi?" Chad asked as he and Troy appeared out of no where, "Because if you are I think I found her." and he pointed his index finger at the couple who were too busy talking that they didn't notice anyone around them.

"Damn! That boy is fine. I guess she has started to move on. Who is he anyway?" said Sharpay still staring at Ben.

Troy wanted to know that himself. His face turned red with anger and walked up to Gabriella and Ben.

"Gabriella, can I talk to you for a second?" Troy asked

"No" she said harshly, "I would to anyone but you." Then she took Ben's hand left, taking Ben with her.

The bell had rung and all the students went to their first class. Ben and Gabriella were now the only ones left in the halls were in an awkward silence. Ben's curiosity got the best of him.

"You were kind of hard on that guy." He said cautiously.

"No, I wasn't. I actually think I wasn't hard enough. Look, I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay, if you say so. So were do we begin?"

"Well it's a big school so lets not waste anymore time," Gabriella said, "lets go to your locker first."

For the rest of the day Troy tried to talk to talk to Gabriella and she kept ignoring him with the help of Ben. By the end of the day, Ben and Gabriella said their goodbyes and went to home.

Gabriella went to sleep, dreaming about a boy with blue green eyes and blonde hair. While Ben went to sleep, dreaming about a brunette with chocolate eyes.
