It was Monday morning, and Gabriella just woke up.She went to take a shower then got dressed. She choose some brown and pink bermuda shorts with a pink tank top and brown vest. She went downstairs to find her mom with her head in her hands. "Mami, whats wrong?"
Isabella Montez looked up at her 13 year old daughter and smiled weekly, "Oh Gabi, come here and sit down. I need to talk to you about something." Gabriella looked at her mom with a confused expression on her face, but still sat down next to her. "Mom whats wrong?"
"Gabi, I got a new job offer in California. It pays about $700 more dollers then what i make now. It would really make our lives easier, and we could afford any colloge you want without a scholership." She took a deep breath and looked at her daughter with a hopeful face. "Gabi I know all your friends are here and you don't want to leave them but, please just consider this."
Gabriella just sat there not saying anything. 'I can't belive i'm actully considering this. But mom looks like she really wants this job and it could help me get over Troy. Oh perfect! I could give him one last chance today and if he still continues to ignore me i'll take my mom's offer.'
"I'll tell you what mom, you give me till 3:00 today and i'll tell you my answer." She got up and grabbed a peice of toast then walked out the door. She started walking to school, thinking about her current positions. 'I don't really want to leave, this is my home. I have lived here all my life, all my memories are here. My memories with Troy, Taylor, and my ... my dad.' How she missed him. Her dad died when she was six. He was out fishing, when he got hit by lightning. Because of that Gabriella was scared, no more like terrified of thunderstorms. Tears seeped out of her eyes at the memories of her dad. 'Ok Gabi, remeber we're thinking about our position.' She shook the thoughts of her dad out of her head.
She had realized she would never be with Troy, but she came to the point where she thought their friendship was at its breaking point. He was really testing their friendship by ignoring her in public. It was like he was two diffrent people. He was so sweet and caring when it was just them two, but when other people were around he completly ignored her. But what was worse that he joined in with other people teasing her. He just laughed along with them, she refused to belive her said anything bad about her. She wanted to see what Troy cared about more their life-long friendship, or popularity.
To her suprise she just came to Troy's house. She was hoping he would be in the front yard playing basketball, but he wasn't she didn't see him at all. So she kept walking, but stopped when she saw Troy's head in his backyard. She started to walk toward him but stopped abruptly when she heard other voice and a bushy head. She turned around and started walking away, across the street to be exact. She then heard a rude remark torward her.
"Hey nerd! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out studying or something" She heard them laughing at her, and turned her head a little and saw Troy lauging with them. She felt tears prick her eyes. But what made her cry even harder was when Troy yelled "Run away little nerdie" and thats excactly what Gabriella did. She ran as fast as her feet would take her, anywhere away from him.'He just blew his last chance' she thought ' He is my best friend, and i thought i was his. Well i use to be before he had to get all populer aand have new friends. I remeber when he promised me that he would take me to the prom no matter what. Well i doubt that, not just because of his new behavior.' She suddenly stopped and thought 'I think i just made my desicion.'
