2005
15-year-old Gabriella Montez walked into East High for the first time. Her best friends Taylor McKessie and Sharpay Evans stood on her right, her boyfriend of the past week Troy Bolton on her left.
"I can't believe we're in high school!" Sharpay squealed as she rushed forward and looked around.
"Already I can sense we're gonna be dubbed as the losers," Gabriella whispered to Troy, who chuckled and took hold of her hand.
"You never know!" Chad Danforth exclaimed, appearing behind the two. Gabriella jumped in surprise.
"Don't do that!" she shrieked, slapping his arm.
"Not my fault you're a wimp."
Gabriella began chasing Chad around the hallway, making their friends laugh and other people stare.
Zeke Baylor and Jason Cross appeared as did Sharpay's twin brother, Ryan.
"What's going on?" Zeke asked.
"Chad something stupid. Gabi got mad. She started chasing him," Troy replied simply.
"So nothing new?"
"Not really."
The group laughed as Gabriella continued chasing Chad.
Two Months Later
Gabriella sat in her science class, taking notes off the board. Her teacher, Mr. Lynch, was walking up and down the aisles, looking over his students' notes. He stopped for a moment at Gabriella's desk, staring down at her. Gabriella looked up at him.
"Um…something wrong, Mr. Lynch?" she asked.
"No, no, everything's perfect," he replied. He walked away and Gabriella heard him say, "Just perfect."
Gabriella felt a shiver run down her spine. She shook it off and got back to work.
Once class ended, she rushed out of the room and down the hall to Troy's locker. She spotted her boyfriend putting books into his locker.
"Troy!" she called.
Troy turned and smiled when he saw her approaching. "Hey, Gabs. What's up?" he greeted.
"Does My. Lynch seem kind of odd to you?" Gabriella asked.
"That's kind of a random question," Troy chuckled.
"Troy, I'm serious."
Troy stopped laughing and looked at her. "You're really freaked, aren't you?" he questioned.
"He's scaring me!" Gabriella cried.
"Hey, calm down. There's nothing to get all worked up about," Troy said.
Gabriella sighed. "It's just…he's kinda creeping my out," she admitted.
Troy sighed and took Gabriella's hand. "Trust me. Everything's fine," he said.
Gabriella smiled and hugged Troy. He hugged back.
"You're the best boyfriend ever," she whispered.
Troy smiled and held her even tighter.
Two Months Later
Gabriella walked into her room after a long, boring day of school. She decided to unwind by heading onto Myspace. She sat at her computer and logged on. She had a few new friends invites, some comments, and new photo comments. She decided to check the friends invites first. There was only one. It was from someone she didn't even know. She checked out their page and found it rather creepy. There were no pictures. The layout was what looked like killing. The layout reminded her of blood and murder. And it scared her.
Gabriella went back to her friends invites and denied his invite. Once that was out of the way, she checked her new picture comments. There were a couple on a picture of her and Troy. They were laying on his bed and he held the camera up above them. One was from Taylor, one from Sharpay, and one from that creepy dude.
Taylor: Sexy, girlie! lol! jk! you two are SUPES cute!!
Gabriella giggled. Count on Taylor.
Sharpay: i agree with Tay Bay. you two couldn't be cuter!! luv ya babe!! and tell Troy Boy i luv him and his sexay ass!! lol! you know i'm just kidding!!
Gabriella shook her head. Only Sharpay would say that her best friend's boyfriend has a sexy ass.
Now on to the creepy man's message.
I'm much better for you than Troy is, Gabriella.
Gabriella's heart raced. That man knew her name. Her name wasn't on her profile. And neither was Troy's. Slightly scared, she deleted the comment and moved on to her page comments.
There was one from Chad, a couple from Troy, and that creeper was back.
Chad: hey Gabster!! i need my baby sis over here! homework help! call me!! PLEASE!!
Troy: hey Gabi bear! just wondering if you wanna catch a movie! call me later!! or text! whatever works for you! lol!
Troy: ok you gotta call the cell! b-ball practice and dad's freaking cuz we're already late! haha! practice ends at 6 so maybe we could catch a flick at 6:30! sound good? call me, Gabi bear!!
Gabriella smiled at the little nickname Troy had given her so many years ago when they were really little. And no one else was allowed to call her that.
Now she came to the creepy man's comment. And it scared her.
I'm coming to get you.
She straightened up and suddenly, a hand clamped over her mouth.
Gabriella let out an ear-piercing scream as a blade was placed near her throat.
"I'm coming to get you," the man whispered in her ear.
Her eyes widened. She knew that voice.
She tried screaming but it came out as a muffled noise. The man dragged her downstairs. When they reached the kitchen, Mrs. Montez looked up and screamed at the sight.
The man shoved Gabriella onto the ground and lunged at Mrs. Montez. Quickly, Gabriella called 911. When someone answered, she squeaked out, "Help," before hanging up. They'd come. She knew they would.
The next thing she knew, the man was running the blade over her mother's throat. Gabriella screamed.
The man's head snapped up and he looked at her. He pushed off of Mrs. Montez and began walking towards Gabriella.
"No, no, no…please don't," she begged quietly, crawling backwards away from him. Tears poured down her face at the sight of her mother's dead body.
"Please! Don't!"
The man stood above her.
"I'm begging you!"
He raised the knife above his head.
"NO!"
"FREEZE!"
The knife came down. Gabriella screamed. A gunshot went off. Something heavy fell. Shouting rang in the young girl's ears. Then everything went black.
One Week Later
Gabriella stirred awake and her eyes were met by blinding white. She squinted and looked around. She was in a hospital room. Troy, Chad, Taylor, Sharpay, Ryan, Zeke, Jason, and Kelsi were all asleep in chairs around her bed. She giggled at how some of them were sleeping.
Sharpay was on the floor, leaning against Troy's legs. Taylor had her head on Sharpay's lap. Kelsi and Jason's heads were leaning against each other's, which, to Gabriella, looked incredibly uncomfortable. Chad had his head on Troy's shoulder and Troy's head was buried in Chad's puff of hair. They all just looked really funny.
"Guys," Gabriella choked out. When they didn't wake up, she looked around and found a pen sitting on the bedside table. She picked it up and threw it. It hit Troy square in the forehead. He jolted awake and rubbed his forehead.
"Gabi!"
Troy stood up, not even caring that Sharpay and Chad had been leaning against him. Sharpay woke up, jumping forward, causing Taylor to wake up and Chad woke up as well. The three saw Gabriella awake and they all yelled, "Gabi!" causing the others to wake up. They all rushed over and stood around her bed. Troy took her hand and gently stroked it with his thumb. Everyone else fired one question after another at her.
"GUYS!"
Everyone immediately shut up. But their eyes didn't leave Gabriella.
"Gabs, you ok?" Chad asked, stroking her hair gently.
Gabriella blinked a few times, trying to think back. Suddenly, everything came crashing back to her. Her mother was dead. She was murdered. And she knew who the murderer was. He tried to kill her. That's why she was here.
"No, no, no…NO!"
Everyone jumped back.
"Gabi, sweetie, what's wrong?" Taylor asked worryingly.
"My mom…she's…I could've saved her…but…no!"
"Gabi, no. It wasn't your fault. You did nothing wrong. There wasn't anything you could do," Troy stated.
Gabriella wiped her eyes. "I need my Mama," she whimpered.
Troy pulled her into a tight hug. She sobbed onto his shoulder.
"It's ok, Gabi. He's gone now. Everything's fine," Troy soothed.
"I'm scared," Gabriella admitted.
"Why?"
Gabriella glanced down at the bandaged that was wrapped tightly around her upper arm. "He's coming to get me."
"What are you talking about? He's locked away," Chad stated.
Gabriella didn't answer. She simply looked around the hospital room. "Where's my daddy?" she asked.
The group didn't respond. They glanced at each other but remained silence.
Gabriella looked up at Troy. "Troy…where's my daddy?"
Troy looked down at her, a sad expression on his face.
"Troy! Answer me!"
"They found his body stuffed in the hallway closet," Troy replied. "I'm sorry, Gabi Bear. He's gone."
-
A police officer led Gabriella along with Mr. Bolton into a small, concrete room. There was a separate room where Mr. Lynch sat. Gabriella looked at him through a window.
"Is that him?" the officer asked, gently placing a hand on Gabriella's back.
"Gabriella, you came back to me," Lynch said rather hoarsely.
"That's him," Gabriella choked.
"Don't do this, Gabriella," Lynch stated.
Tears came to Gabriella's eyes and she looked away from him.
Detective James Samuels sat in the room with Lynch. "Lynch, stop," he warned.
"No! I won't leave her. I'm all she has now," Lynch whispered.
"Is that why you killed her family? Because you thought we'd give her to you?" Detective Samuels asked.
"We love each other," Lynch said firmly.
Gabriella began sobbing. "Can I go now?" she asked. It seemed like people were ignoring her. No one said anything.
Mr. Bolton began talking to the officer, asking if he could take Gabriella home now.
"We'll always be together," Lynch continued.
"Please. I want to go now." Gabriella began sobbing even harder.
"Don't cry, Gabi. I won't be gone for long."
"PLEASE!"
"Oh you'll be gone for a long time, Lynch," Detective Samuels stated as he handcuffed Lynch.
Hearing Gabriella scream, Mr. Bolton immediately wrapped his arms around Gabriella.
"I wanna go home," Gabriella cried.
Mr. Bolton rubbed her back. "I know. We're going," he whispered.
Gabriella looked back at Lynch. He was staring at her.
Mr. Bolton placed his hand behind her head and gently turned her head around. "Come on, sweetie. Let's get you home," he said and he led her away.
"We'll be together soon enough, Gabriella!"
"Ok, would you shut up!?"
