Chapter 15: This is Chad, My Boyfriend

"Hi my favorite cousin."

Gabriella turns around in shock. "Fiona? Why are you here?"

"I thought I could see my favorite cousin earlier since my mom and your mom are upstairs looking at presents my mom brought for you and your mom."

"But aren't you supposed to be here tomorrow?"

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Answer mine first."

"No, you." Fiona always try to get what she wants. If she doesn't get it, she'll fight until she does.

"Fine. I'm not trying to get rid of you. I just didn't expect you."

"Well, I'm sorry. I thought you would be happy. Daddy went on a business trip earlier so we thought to come crash your place earlier. But don't worry. It's just by one day."

"Yeah. One whole freakin' day," Gabriella mumbled.

"Gabriella, you're home. I see you've bonded with Fiona," Mrs. Montez says, looking down from the stairs.

"Yeah. Why didn't you call me and let me know?"

"I thought I didn't want to bother you while you hanged out with your friends. So I let you in a surprise."

"It's a surprise alright," Gabriella mumbled again. Fiona pulled Gabriella to Gabriella's room and dragged her to the bed.

"Do you still have a crush on Troy?" Fiona asked.

"Who?" Gabriella pretended she didn't know Troy since her cousin still doesn't know they were going out.

"You know, the boy that you met ten years ago at my birthday party?"

"Oh yeah him." Gabriella rolled her eyes, but Fiona didn't seem to notice it.

"Well, I heard from his cousin, who lives in Florida, that he has a really beautiful girlfriend." Gabriella knew Fiona was trying to rub it in saying that she wouldn't have a chance to be with him. She thought wrong.

"Oh, how unfortunate." Gabriella pretended to feel sad.

"It's alright. Maybe he doesn't remember you anymore." Fiona laughed, then sighed, "I wish I could see his blue eyes again. He's just so cute."

"Yeah." Gabriella must of faded off to her daydream when Fiona snapped her out of it.

"You seem like you don't even care about Troy anymore. And you still have that picture of you and him next to your night stand?!" Fiona ran over to Gabriella's night stand and picks up the picture of her birthday party ten years ago.

"It's just a reminder. Gimme that." Gabriella snatched back the picture away from her cousin's hands.

"Sheesh." Gabriella felt guilty and then sat next to Fiona.

"So how long are you staying?" Gabriella asked.

"Just about a month. Your mom said I could hang out with you at school since your principal said I could be a visitor and follow you around your classes. That means we get to hang out with each other a lot," Fiona squealed.

"Oh joy." Gabriella hears her phone vibrates 'Say Okay' by Vanessa Hudgens and runs over to her phone. She looks at the caller ID and tries to hide it.

"Let me pick this up. Go downstairs and get yourself a drink," Gabriella said quickly.

"Okay. I hope you have iced tea." Fiona walked to her door and shuts behind it.

Gabriella picks up her phone. "Troy we have problems."

"Hold on, I'm trying to beat Zeke in Ninja Warp." She hears him drinking something and then stuffing his mouth with something else.

"Fiona's here already." She hears Troy spits out the drink and the food out of his mouth.

"Ew dude. You're gonna clean that up I swear," she hears Chad who sounds disgusted.

"Hold up man. I'm talking to my girlfriend. Go ahead and finish the game for me," Troy said. She hears him walking out of a door and then hears the darkness, so she knows Troy's outside.

"You're saying that Fiona's already here? I thought I heard your mom saying that she was coming tomorrow," Troy said.

"That's what I thought too. Until Sharpay took me home and I opened the door and there she was. And somehow your cousin from Florida told her you have a beautiful girlfriend. By the way, thanks babe."

"Ugh. Damn Kevin."

"She's coming to school with us tomorrow so act natural. I don't think she knows what you look like. But I hope your cousin didn't show her a current picture of you."

"I'll try to come near you tomorrow. But if she recognizes me, tell her I'm someone else who has similar features of me."

"Okay, I think she's coming. Bye honey. Love you."

"Love you too. Bye baby." She hears him hang up. Fiona appears at the doorway, closing the door behind her.

"Hey, do you know what Troy looks like right now?" Gabriella asked her cousin.

"Not really. Kevin didn't show me a picture of him. But I still remember what he looks like in sixth grade. As charming as ever." Gabriella fake throws up.

"What's with your face?" Fiona asked, noticing the fake throw up face.

"I just thought it's disgusting to see you crushing on a guy who already has a girlfriend."

"Well, it's not my fault I haven't gotten over him. He's just too darn hot."

"Believe me, I've heard that a lot," Gabriella said, turning away.

"So tomorrow what kind of outfit should I wear? A student uniform kind or a regular girl kind?"

"Whatever you want. I'm tired, I want to go to sleep."

"Okay, goodnight. Tootles." Fiona said before leaving.

Ew, she acts like an innocent Sharpay. But Sharpay's way better than her. Gabriella changes into her pajamas and then falls into a deep sleep.

The next day, Gabriella meets her cousin downstairs. Fiona was dressed in a white shirt with a black V neck sweater covering it most of the shirt. She has a checkered red and black skirt that was long enough to cover half of her thigh. She also has white tights and black sandals that covered her toes.

A typical school girl uniform. Gabriella walks over to her and pours Frosted Flakes into her bowl of milk.

"How you sleep?" Gabriella asked.

"Good. But I slept better in my bed at home." Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Well we have to go to school now, so I'll give you a lift." Gabriella puts her bowl in the sink when she was finished and walked out of the house with Fiona following her. They get in her car and drove to East High. They get out of the car and walk towards the school doors.

"Wow, your school looks amazing," Fiona said.

"Thanks," Gabriella said. That was the first nice thing she said this morning.

"Your school colors are red and white?"

"Yeah. You have all the school colors. Just black is out of the image. But it's alright. It's your first day."

Thanks, let's go in. I want to see your friends." Fiona ran inside while Gabriella follows her. Gabriella then took the lead and walked to her locker. Fiona looked around to see if she can find cute guys.

"Hey that guy is cute. What's his name?" Gabriella turn around to see who Fiona's pointing at. Her eyes were wide open when she sees Fiona pointing to Troy.

"Um. That guy is…" She was interrupted by Troy walking up to her.

"Hey baby." Troy kisses Gabriella's cheek without noticing Fiona standing in front of them.

"Hi." Troy looks at Fiona like he's never met her before.

"This is…" Fiona took out her hand.

"I'm Fiona, Gabriella's cousin." Troy's eyes went wide open. "Why, what's wrong being Gabriella's cousin?"

"Nothing, Fiona. This is um…" Gabriella said. Troy shook his head, "Chad." Troy's eyes were wide open again. "Yeah, this is Chad, my boyfriend."

"Oh hi Chad. You awfully look familiar," Fiona said. Troy took her hand and shook it.

"Yeah, I know I might look familiar. But I never met you before. And I know we never even saw each other before. And…" Gabriella hits the back of his head, "Ow!"

"Shut up Chad. Just calm down." She took his hand, telling him by her motion that she was there to help. He relaxed.

"Well, let's go to homeroom. Or Ms. Darbus is gonna yell at us again." Gabriella giggled at the time they missed homeroom because they were making out at Gabriella's locker.

"Are you okay Gabi?" Fiona asked.

"Yeah, I am. I just don't know about him," She said, pointing to Troy. They walk into Ms. Darbus's classroom to see the real Chad there already. They had nothing in mind to get the confusion right.

"I'll talk to you later okay Chad?" Fiona said, looking at Troy.

"Okay." The real Chad said.

"Um who are you?" Fiona said disgusted at how close Chad was close to her.

"I'm Chad. You just rang?" Chad came closer, but was pulled back by Taylor who was pulling his ear.

"What's going on Gabi?" Fiona looked serious at Gabriella. She had no choice but to confess.

"Okay, his real name isn't Chad, it's Troy. Troy Bolton." She mumbled the last name so Fiona couldn't hear, but she did. Fiona squealed and hugged Troy. Troy was in shock.

"Troy, I didn't know I was going to see you again." She hugged Troy again, but Gabriella coughed.

"So Troy, who's your real girlfriend? I know it isn't Gabi here. Although it was a surprise Gabriella didn't tell you about ten years ago when you guys met at my birthday party." Gabriella rolled her eyes. Troy raised his eyebrows.

"It is Gabi. She's my girlfriend," Troy said, pulling Gabriella's waist closer to him.

"What?!" Fiona was shocked that it was true.

"Yeah, sorry Fiona. Like you said, Kevin told you I have a beautiful girlfriend." Troy kissed Gabriella's cheek, who giggled.

"How he know I said that?" Fiona said, furious. She did look furious.

"I called him when you went downstairs to get a drink."

"That was him?! And you didn't tell me?!" Fiona was partly screaming for the whole class to hear. Good thing class hasn't started yet. There was still five more minutes and Ms. Darbus didn't mind about anything until the bell rings.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you, but you were all gushing about him being so damn hot." Troy chucked a little.

"You're saying this when he's right there?!"

"Fiona, you need to calm down. It was too fast. You were suppose to come to Albuquerque today, not yesterday."

"Well, I'm SORRY that I came earlier and came to see that my cousin is dating my ALL TIME CRUSH!" Fiona had tears down her face. Gabriella felt sorry for her. Troy just frowned at her face.

"Fiona, I--"

"Shut up. Shut the hell up. I don't want to hear your voice again." Fiona ran out of the classroom just as the bell rings.

"Well, I guess you all saw our visitor today. She's going to be with us for a month," Ms. Darbus said. Everyone was silent after what they saw. Troy and Gabriella returned to their seats.

Gabriella couldn't concentrate to the announcements when she was thinking how she treated her cousin. But she hated her, she made her life miserable when Fiona could see Troy everyday at elementary school and she had to go to San Diego. It was dream come true when Gabriella moved to a school that Troy went to after moving from Florida. The bell rings and Gabriella just leaves without waiting for Troy. She rushes to the bathroom, finding Fiona crying. She had mascara running down her face and was holding a paper towel in her hands.

"Fiona, I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you."

"Gabi, why did you do this? I thought I was your favorite cousin."

"To be honest, you aren't. You always bragged about seeing Troy everyday at your elementary school when I went to San Diego."

"I thought you wanted to hear about Troy since he was your first love."

"But he's your first crush."

"And you got to him first. You got his heart and now you can't give it to anyone else to steal."

"But I can't see you like this. If you're crying over me having Troy, you shouldn't. He's just a guy and you have a whole world of boys to look for. Troy isn't the only one."

"I know, but it's just so hard to see him with you. He's just so perfect. He was the first guy to be nice to me."

"Well, I know. I am his girlfriend." Fiona glares at her. "What I'm trying to say is I'm your cousin. You're supposed to support me."

"Fine, as long as you don't lie to me again."

"I won't. You don't deserve it. Now c'mon before I'm late for my first period." Gabriella walks away and leaves the girls bathroom.

"Gabi, you don't know who you're messing with. You steal my man, and now I'm stealing him back. I'm going to win his heart and crush your damn pride. You watch and see." Fiona wipes her last tear and the mascara that was on her face. She reapplies mascara and walks out with her eyes still puffy.

"C'mon Fiona. Let's go." Gabriella dragged her to her first period.

You just watch and see Montez. I may be related to you, but I'm going to treat you like a girl you deserve to be. Crushed. Fiona thought evilly.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Love them. But just so you know, I am going to Taiwan for a summer vacation, so I won't be updating as much as right now. But I'll be back on the 16 of August, but then I might not be updating as usual since school's about to start when I get back. Tear. Ahaha. So enjoy what you have right now and I'll try to update.
