Gabriella Montez awoke screaming again. Her mom runs in her room. "Mom?" asked Gabriella scaredly. Her mom ran over and took her in her arms.

"Another nightmare?" her mom asked. Gabriella nodded and cried into her mother's shoulder. Cassidy, Gabriella's mother, rocked her baby girl back and forth. "We are leaving town tomorrow, we need to get away from here!" Gabriella shook her head.

"But, what about you work?" Gabriella asked.

"Baby, we can't stay here, all of the nightmares, hopefully they go away." Cassidy said. Gabriella sighed and nodded.

"Where?" Gabriella asked.

"Alberquerque, New Mexico!" Cassidy said, softly kissing Gabriella's forehead, "Come on, you can sleep with me." Gabriella and Cassidy walked to Cassidy's room and fell asleep. The next morning, Gabriella woke up to see her mother not in bed anymore, she got up, took a shower then walked downstairs. She found her mother in the kitchen, she kissed her mothers cheek.

"Have you packed yet, Mami?" asked Gabriella.

"Yes!" said Cassidy, "You may go pack after breakfast!" Cassidy put a plate of pancakes in front of Gabriella. Gabriella said thank you and started eating. Later that day, Cassidy and Gabriella were packing Gabriella's stuff.

"Have you ever lived in Alberquerque?" asked Gabriella.

"Yes, we're going to be living with some friends from High School." said Cassidy, putting a skirt in Gabriella's suitcase.

"Really, who?" asked Gabriella.

"Chelsea (I don't really like the name Lucille) and Jack Bolton." said Cassidy.

Gabriella nodded. "Do they have any kids?" she asked hopefully.

Cassidy shrugged, putting a T-shirt in the suitcase. "Not that I know of, I haven't seen them since High School."

Gabriella nodded and they finished packing then headed off. Gabriella listened to her Ipod the whole ride. Finally, when they got to Alberquerque, they stopped to grab a late lunch then went to the Bolton's house. Gabriella and Cassidy carried their suitcases up the driveway and Cassidy knocked on the door. A few minutes later, a blue-eyed boy with brown shaggy hair opened the door.

"Hello, we're here to see Chelsea and Jack Bolton." said Cassidy. Gabriella just kept staring.

"Sure. Come in." said the blue-eyed boy. Cassidy and Gabriella walked in as the boy closed the door, "Mom, dad?!" Cheslea and Jack walked down the stairs.

"What is it?" asked Jack.

"Their here to seen you." said the boy, pointing at Gabriella and Cassidy.

Chelsea gasped. "Cassidy?! Is that you?!"

"Yep, in the flesh!" Cassidy said, smiling. They hugged and squealed, "It's so good to see you!"

"You too. I'm so sorry about Greg." Chelsea said. Cassidy nodded and sighed.

"It's been so hard!"

"I bet it has." Chelsea said, looking at Gabriella, "You must be Gabriella?" Gabriella nodded shyly. "Nice to meet you."

Gabriella smiled. "You too."

Jack looked at the boy. "Troy, show Gabriella to her room." Troy nodded anf took Gabriella's suitcase.

"This way." Gabriella followed Troy as the adults caught up. Troy put Gabriella's suitcases down.

"Thanks." said Gabriella shyly. Troy smiled and nodded.

"I'll let you unpack, but some of my friends are coming over this weekend, you could hang out with us if you want?" Gabriella nodded. "Great, they'll be her in a few minutes." Troy walked out. Gabriella smiled and thought as she was unpacking 'He is so cute!' Later that night, Gabriella was walking downstairs to answer the door, but she saw Troy walk to it and open it, he hugged all his friends then told Gabriella come over. "Gang, this is Gabriella, she's living with us." The gang nodded.

"Nice to meet you." they said in unison.

"You too." said Gabriella.

The blonde girl smiled. "Do you like shopping?" The boys groaned and rolled their eyes.

"Is that all you think about, Sharpay?" asked a boy with an afro. The blonde glared.

"Shut up, Chad!"

"Ignore them!" said a dark skinned girl. "I'm Taylor." Gabriella shook her hand.

"What's her name?" asked Gabriella, pointing at a girl with glasses.

"That's Kelsi, that's Zeke, and that's Sharpay's brother, Ryan." said Taylor. Gabriella nodded. After about three minutes, Chad finally said sorry to Sharpay and they started to watch a movie. In the middle of the movie, Ryan asked.

"So, where did you move from?"

"New Jersey." said Gabriella.

"I used to live there, but that was a long time ago." said Taylor.

"Why did you move here?" asked Zeke.

"Well, when I was three, I had to watch my dad get killed. My mom wasn't home and me and him were watching a movie when a guy broke in our house and told us that if we did or said anything, we would die, well my dad didn't listen, so he got shot in the head." Gabriella said in tears. The gang gasped. Zeke looked guilty.

"I shouldn't have asked you that." Gabriella smiled and patted his shoulder.

"It's okay, you didn't know." Zeke smiled and patted her hand. Troy spoke up.

"Who wants to go swimming?" he asked. Everyone raised their hands then the got ready and went outside. When they got outside, Chad pushed Sharpay in the pool. She screamed and looked like she was about to kill someone. Chad started running with Sharpay behind him, Zeke was running after Sharpay, trying to stop her from killing his best friend. While Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Ryan and Kelsi were laughing. Ten minutes later, Sharpay had Chad pushed in the pool.

"That was so funny!" said Ryan. The gang minues Chad nodded and laughed. Chad started whining.

"No, it wasn't!" The all started laughing even Chad. Gabriella stopped laughing and smiled. 'I can get used to this!" she thought. Troy looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back and blushed alittle, Troy looked away at Chad. 'And I can get used to that.' she thought while watching Troy.
