Chapter 1

Gabriella Montez groaned as the sunlight peeked through her closed eyelids, disturbing her sleep. She blindly reached for another pillow and brought it down on her head, blocking the sunlight. It was officially two weeks till the end of summer vacation and so far it had been crappy, due her boyfriend of four years, Troy been led astray by the Country Club Ice Queen, Sharpay Evans. She groaned as she knew she wouldn't go back to sleep, so she flung the pillow across her room and sat up, rubbing the sleep away from her eyes and yawned.

'Room service!' a voice shouted from outside her bedroom. She frowned and tugged her satin dressing gown over her pyjama short and cami t-shirt and opened her door, seeing her best friend of thirteen years carrying a tray of toast with a glass of fresh orange, with two lilies unopened in a vase. She laughed and stood back, allowing Gary Preston into her room.

'Since you've being having a crappy summer holiday and I've been away for most of it, thought this might cheer you up' Gary said as he set the tray down on Gabriella's white bedside table, handing her the glass of fresh orange juice.

'How did you know I was having a crappy summer?' she asked him, as she sat down on her bed, a small frown on her face. Gary turned and gave her a pointed look.

'Who do you think?' he asked her, as he sat next to her. The answer hit Gabriella and she chuckled lightly.

'Of course the little munchkin would figure it out' she said, shaking her head, as she heard footsteps running up the stairs. Gabriella just had time to hand Gary the glass of orange juice, before a little person barrelled into her, knocking her backwards.

'Do you like my breakfast?' the little boy asked, as he sat up and sat on Gabriella toned stomach, as he sat up.

'I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it will taste great!' she said, with a bright smile. The little boy clapped his hands and turned to Gary.

'We did well, Uncle Gary!' the little boy squealed and held up his hand. Gary laughed and gave him a gentle high five. Gabriella watched the interaction and smiled.

'Can mama have a good morning kiss, Olly?' Gabriella asked. Olly giggled and leant down to kiss his mothers cheek, before scrambling away from her when he felt her tickle him.

'No, mommy!' he shrieked with laughter, as he rushed from the room and hid in his own room, thinking his mom was chasing after him. Gabriella giggled, turning and walking back into her room and closing the door, sitting back down on the bed.

'Can't believe he's six, this year' Gary commented.

'Me neither. He's growing up too fast!' Gabriella said, sadly. While it had been a terrifying shock to everyone that she was pregnant at thirteen, when Olly came along, he quickly melted everyone's hearts. With his mother's hair, olive skin tone and nose and his father bright blue eyes and mouth, he was the perfect mix of both of them. Even though he was inexperienced and still young, Troy still helped out as much as he could, giving his pocket money to Inez so he could pay his way for his child, which was a proud moment for Lucille, seeing her son take responsibility for half of his actions at a young age.

'Before you know it, he'll be a little terror' Gary joked, earning a smack from Gabriella. He laughed and pulled her to him, kissing the top of her head.

'I'm dreading the teenage years!' Gabriella groaned, burying her face in Gary's shoulder, in slight despair. Suddenly, she burst out laughing as Gary's fingers danced at her sides, tickling her. She fell back against her bed, the laughter trickling out of her loudly.

'Mercy, Mercy!' she squealed, through her laughter. She felt Gary straddle her and the tickling got worse. She brought her hands up and tried to bat his hands away from her side, her body thrashing on the bed, hurting with laughter.

'Well, this looks cosy' like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him, Gary froze and Gabriella sucked in air, her chest heaving. He climbed from Gabriella's body and allowed her to sit up. Her eyes lit up as she spotted her boyfriend. She leapt from the bed and skipped over to Troy, meeting him halfway for a morning kiss.

'How is my favorite girl this morning?' Troy asked, once they came up for air. Gabriella smiled and pressed her body against his.

'She's good, now that you saved her from dying' she told him, shooting a glare at Gary, who smirked at her.

'Is Olly up?' Troy asked, turning Gabriella's attention back to him.

'Yeah, he's in his room' Gabriella told Troy, who nodded and dropped another kiss to her lips, before heading see his son...


Half an hour later, Troy came out of his son's room, resting him on his hip as he headed to Gabriella's room. He opened the door to find Gabriella typing furiously away on her laptop, while Gary lay next to her, his sketch book open as he drew furiously.

'Ella?' Troy waited until Gabriella looked at him, before continuing. 'Can I take Olly to work with me? Chad said that they're trying out the new kiddie center in the Club and they need some kids. I'll be with him at all times, I promise' he continued and reassured her.

'It's up to Olly' Gabriella simply said, smiling at him, before turning her attention to Olly, who frowned and looked at Troy.

'Want to come to work and see Uncle Chad?' Troy asked Olly, whose eyes lit up and he nodded frantically.

'Can I, mommy? Can I?' he asked excitedly. Gabriella laughed and nodded.

'If that's what you want, honey. Have a good day, yeah?' Gabriella said to Olly, climbing off the bed and pressing a soft kiss to his cheek and tucked his collar under. Gabriella smiled at him, before reaching up for a kiss from Troy.

'Eww' Olly squealed and covered his eyes with his hands, ruining the sweet moment. Gabriella smiled and broke the kiss, stroking her son's cheek with her knuckle.

'Go on, go and have fun!' she told them, smiling when Olly clapped his hands. Once she had waved them off, she locked the front door and headed back upstairs to her room, where Gary was taking a break from drawing and reading her latest unfinished blog post.

'What do you reckon?' Gabriella asked, as she climbed back onto the bed next to him. Gary nodded, though he was making some adjustments, correcting her grammar and spelling, making Gabriella smile.

'You're going to be a great blogger/fashion designer one day' Gary told her, as he handed her laptop back to her, making her smile brightly.

'And you're going to be my co designer/artist. You can do the drawings, I'll do the making' she told him. Gary chuckled, his striking green eyes lighting up.

'Sounds like a good plan' he told her, watching as she went back to finishing her latest blog post...


'Hey, TayTay' Gabriella greeted as she walked through the gates of Lava Springs, later that evening. Taylor looked up from collecting the towels and her eyebrows rose in surprise.

'Hey girl, what are you doing here?' Taylor asked, after giving her a light hug.

'I was missing my boys, so I thought I'd surprise them' said Gabriella, with a smile. Taylor beckoned her to follow her and led Gabriella to the kids room. She scanned the room and saw Olly quietly playing with some building brick, intent on building a big fort.

'Where's Troy?' Gabriella, not seeing her boyfriend in the room, after his promise that morning.

'Ice Queen wanted him, don't know what for' Taylor answered, smiling at Olly. Gabriella frowned.

'Keep an eye on him' she instructed, as she headed back outside, heading towards the kitchens, where Chad and Zeke currently were currently hanging out, on a break.

'Hi boys' she greeted. She was greeted with smiles and hugs from both boys, making her smile.

'What brings you here?' Chad asked, throwing a peanut in his mouth.

'Do you know where Troy is?' Gabriella asked. Chad nodded and pointed to the trophy room, through the kitchen window. 'Thank you' she told Chad gratefully. She headed through the doors, when Taylor and Olly rushed after her, calling her gently.

'Hey, there's my little man' Gabriella greeted her son, picking him up and kissing his cheek. She rested him against her hip, as she continued towards the room.

'I missed you, mommy' Olly said, nuzzling his mom's neck, making Gabriella smile.

'I missed you too, darling' she replied. She pushed the door open and froze at the sight before her.

'What the hell is going on?' Taylor shouted, seeing Gabriella was too in shock to speak. Troy shoved Sharpay away from him, wiping his mouth furiously with the back of his hand, staining it with bright pink lipstick.

'Nothing. She just shoved me-'his voice stopped and his eyes widened as he saw Gabriella and Olly in the room.

'Mommy, why was Daddy kissing another girl?' Olly asked, looking at his Mom, who looked close to tears.

'I didn't do anything, I swear. She came onto me just as you opened the door, I swear!' Troy told Gabriella, as he remembered the promise he had made her at the start of their relationship. Gabriella turned on her heel and rushed from the room, rushing past Chad, who looked confused.

'Gabriella!' Taylor shouted, but Chad grabbed her arm and stopped her.

'What's going on?' Chad asked, worriedly. Taylor didn't need to answer when Troy stepped from the room and began to run in the direction Gabriella had gone, while Sharpay stepped out of the room, straightening her clothes out.

'Does that answer your question?' Taylor snapped, before grabbing her arm free and running later Troy and Gabriella, Chad following closely behind...


Gabriella screeched her car to a stop on her empty driveway, glad that her mother was away on a business course for the week. She climbed from her car, just as Troy climbed from his rushed towards her.

'Ella, I swear! It was her!' Troy shouted, grabbing her by the shoulders, so she had to look at him.

'Get off me!' she said, trying to keep her voice down. Troy shook his head, knowing she would bolt if he let her go.

'Not until you listen to me' Troy said, his voice panicked. Gabriella breathed heavily through her nose.

'I don't need to listen to you! I know I took most of your early teenager's years away, but if you didn't want me any more, all you had to do was say!' she shouted, her eyes stinging with tears.

'IT WASN'T MY FAULT!' Troy screamed at her, watching as she flinched.

'YOU HAD YOUR TONGUE DOWN HER THROAT!' Gabriella screamed back. She head the door next door bang open and Gary came rushing out, while she saw Lucille and Jack headed across the street.

'Brie, what's wrong? What's happened?' Gary asked, as he stood next to them both. He noticed Gabriella's tear stained face and knew it was Troy who was the cause of it. 'What have you done?' Gary asked Troy, who glared darkly at him.

'I haven't done anything! It was Sharpay, I swear!' Troy said, seeing his parents stand behind Gabriella.

'Take Olly inside' Gabriella told Gary, who did as she asked. He walked round to the other side of the car and opened the door, lifting him out.

'Uncle Gary, why are Mommy and Daddy shouting?' Olly asked, his big blue eyes filling with tears. Gary caught the car/door keys as Gabriella chucked them to him.

'It'll be okay, buddy' Gary said, as he headed to the front door, as Gabriella turned her attention back to Troy.

'Don't ever step foot on this property again!' she snapped angrily. She turned to go inside, when Troy grabbed her wrist roughly, by accident.

'Don't even think of using our son against me!' he growled. Gabriella ripped her wrist free of his hold and glared darkly.

'I see you remember your promise. Well, you've broken that now haven't you? You can still see your son; just send your Mom or Dad round for him!' Gabriela told him, before turning on her heel and storming up steps to her house and stepping inside, slamming the front door shut. She let the tears fall and rested her forehead against the cool surface of the door.

'Brie?' Gary said gently, from the top of the stairs. Gabriella sniffled and turned round, her face and body heartbroken. Gary rushed down the stairs and gathered her in his arms, allowing her to soak his pyjama shirt with her tears...
