Ellie turned to Gabriella and Kelsi who had goofy looks on their faces.

"What?"

"You like him." Gabriella teased in a sing song voice, "I do not." Ellie retorted turning her head watching Ryan and Sharpay walk out of the theatre.

"She does, Ellie, you like the other Evans, the nicer one that is." Kelsi said handing her the sheet music back. Ellie shook her head, "Keep it you wrote it remember?" Ellie asked winking.

Kelsi smiled, "Thanks." "No problem, anyway I think I'm gonna leave your friends are starting to bug me."

Ellie's cell phone rang, "Hello, yes, really, thank you, ok bye." Ellie hung up her black berry curve.

"Who was that?" Gabriella asked as Kelsi picked up her stuff and followed the 2 out of the theatre.

"The judge, he said that our statement of my father being drunk and a little demanding were true." Ellie said putting her hands in her jean pockets.

"What? How did he find out?" Gabriella asked poking Ellie.

"Stop poking me and you'll find out." Ellie said as Gabriella stopped poking her, "He found out that his bailiff, aka uncle max staked out the house yesterday and found out that he well you know what'd last night." Kelsi looked at them skeptically.

"What do you mean by you know what'd?" Kelsi asked

"It's nothing Kelsi, her father has a bad drinking problem and is only sober for 3 days at the longest." Gabriella said.

"Fine, don't tell me." Kelsi pouted, "Tell you what?"

They turned around and found Chad and Taylor walking up to them.

"Hey Tay, Hey Chad." Kelsi greeted, Taylor and Chad both smiled.

"Who's this she looks a lot like Gabi, you have a sister we don't know about?" Taylor asked, as Kelsi, Gabriella and Ellie laughed.

"I'm Gabriella's cousin Ellie Marie Fillion soon to be Montez." She extended her hand and shook both Taylor's and Chad's hands.

"Nice to meet you Ellie Marie." Taylor said.

"Yeah just call me Ellie please." Ellie said as Gabriella laughed.

"All right, but isn't Marie Gabi's middle name?" Chad asked as Gabriella glared at him.

"Yeah, but that's not the reason I was named Ellie Marie." Ellie said as they walked down the hall over to Gabriella's locker.

"Why were named Ellie Marie?" Chad asked as Gabriella elbowed him. "What I'm curious."

"It's all right , I was named after our mother's best friend who died 3 days before I was born, her name was Elizabeth Marie Spencer, but they called her Ellie Marie." Ellie explained.

"Oh, sorry about it." Chad said

"You didn't know," Ellie said as they stopped at Gabriella's locker.

"But Chad had no right." Taylor said smacking him over the back of his head.

Just then a boy with sapphire blue eyes and brown hair walked up and hugged Gabriella. "Hey wildcat." Gabriella said kissing him on the cheek and Ellie cleared herthroat.

"Sorry Troy, this is my very over protective cousin Ellie." Gabriella said blushing.

"Hey nice meeting you."

"Back at you and warning no kissing till I actually know you better." Ellie said.

"Ellie, we all have Ms. Darbus first period, so cell phone is a no – no." Gabriella said as Ellie took out her cell phone and checked her messages.

"Just like Mr. Jackson, then huh, but don't worry, this phone is gonna be off, friends from school were texting and calling non stop last night it got on my nerves." Ellie said turning off her phone. "And Gabs, don't fall asleep on your phone you called me like 5 times last night." The gang laughed and walked into 1st period
