According To Gabriella: Rewrite Version Chapter 8: Ordinary Girl, a high school musical fanfic

Uhoo oh yeah,
La da a da

Don't get me wrong,
I love who I am
I don't wanna be ungrateful
It probably sounds strange
I really love the role I play
The songs I sing
But with all the fame
The things that seem so simple,
suddenly, so far out of reach
Wish that they could see that underneath...
I'm just an ordinary girl!

Sometimes I'm lazy
I get bored
I get scared
I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have Dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world,
For an ordinary girl
(Like you, Like me)
For an ordinary girl
(Like you, Like me)

How are you?
Hello, Good-bye
One day here, One day there
And again it's time to go
Miss popular always on the road
Put my best foot forward
Gotta get on with the show
Strike a pose for the front cover of a magazine
Every where I arrive, I get high-5's
They pay me larger than life
(Yeaheaaaa)
I'm just an ordinary girl!

Sometimes I'm lazy
I get bored
I get scared
I feel ignored (Yeah)
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have Dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world,
For an ordinary girl

So give it everything or nothin' at all
Get back on your feet when
You stumble and fall
A little luck can go a long way
So don't you worry about what people say
Who knows when the wind may blow
For an ordinary girl..(Mmmm)
I'm just an ordinary girl

Ordinary Girl- Miley Cyrus

"I just wanted to know something, Do you have feelings for Troy"

"Ummm"

"Its totally okay, if you do. I just wanted to know because I been wanting to tell Troy that I miss being with him. I been planning on doing it. You see Troy and I used to date when we were in middle school but as soon as she started becoming the basketball star and a player, we broke up. We decided they were better off as friends"

"Um. I don't like Troy, in that way"

"Really?"

"Trust Me"

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I rinsed my face off and walked out of the restroom then I spotted Troy running out the water and towards me.

"Hey, Whats Wrong?" He said shaking his wet hair, and looking at my, he grabbed my hand and held it, with eyes filled of concern

"Nothing, Why Do You Ask" I said and looked down at my sand covered feet and he used his other hand to lift up my chin to make me look up

"Because It looks like been crying"

"I haven't been crying" LIES

"Yes, you have Gabriella. Your eyes are Pink and Puffy. Don't Lie To Me. Did Something happen? Did Tenley say something to you?"

"No, I was just thinking about my Dad, okay. But Im fine?

"Gabriella" He said softly

"Im fine, Im fine. Just perfect"

"Really"

"Yes, Troy"

"Well, Okay then because everyone hungry and were about to go leave"

"Okay"

XOXOXOXOXXOXOXOX

I hopped out of Sharpay's Pink Limo and I shook my head. Too Much Pink For Me. It Gave Me A Major Headache.

"Sharpay's obsession with Pink is something else, huh" I heard someone say from behind me and turned around and came face to face with Taylor. She was now wearing a pair of gray shorts and white a tank top covering her yellow bikini but was still visible. I giggled and said

"You Can Say That Again" She laughed and started the entrance of Rico's when I felt someone watching me and I looked over to see Troy standing right next to me. His ultramarine blue orbs burned into mine.

"You were quiet the whole ride here! Are you sure you're okay?" That's Because The Whole Time You Were Talking To Tenley

"How many times do I have to tell you! I'm fine! Now, come on I'm starving" I grabbed his hand and lead him to the door

"Welcome To Rico's Pizzeria" We all greeted

"How Many" The Lady asked Zeke

"11 please" He replied and the Lady nodded then smiled and grabbed 10 menus from the slot

"Right this way please" She politely said and lead us to this large round table.

Sharpay sat right next to Zeke, Martha sat right next to Jason, Taylor and Chad sat right next each other and Kelsi and Ryan sat down, leaving only Me, Tenley and Troy. I rolled my eyes when I realized that It looked like there wasn't enough room left. Just Fucking Great

"Um, Tenley you can sit down next to Troy if you want. Ill just pull up a seat of something"

"Um, Okay. Thanks" She said in her sweet voice

"Oh Come On Ten, let Gabriella sit next to Troy this time. You always sit next to Troy"

"No, Its okay. I'm fine with sitting in the chair" I said and looked up at Troy who just kept staring at me. STOP FUCKING STARING!

"No, Its Gabriella, you can sit next to Troy! Ill sit down in the chair"

"Here, Gabriella you can just right next to me. I bet you squeeze In their" Taylor said moving over leaving place. It was the opposite side of Troy and Tenley!

"Can I start you guys off with drinks"

"Oh, were all have original lemonades" Sharpay said

"Oh Gabriella did, you want anything other than Lemonade because that's we always get"

"Oh No Lemonade, Thanks" I said and continued staring back down at the silver ware. I just wished he would stop staring

I looked up to see Troy staring at me and when he saw that I caught his glance, he smiled but I couldn't help to smile back. He made me feel different, he made me feel happy for some reason! But I should know not to get close to anyone , knowing that I wont be alive for very long. I still wanted to die, I always would. I still want to be with my father

"So, Are you guys ready to order" The waiter said snapping me out of my thoughts and I looked up at her, and saw that she had looked very familiar. Her thick black hair was tied into a bun, with a few strand curls falling out in front of her face, she about to be around her mid 40's. She looked at me, and frowned.

"I'm sorry but do I know you or something because you very familiar"

"Um, No! But you do look familiar"

"What is your name sweetheart?" She asked

"Gabriella Montez"

"Oh My. Look at you're so grown up" I frowned and looked at to see her name tag and It read Marianna

"Oh My God, Aunt Marianna. How have you been" I sat up from my seat and hugged her

"Oh My God, Darling look at you. You're a beautiful young lady now"

Aunt Marianna was my Dad's sister. I remember she used to be my favorite people when I was little and used to live in Albuquerque. I haven't seen her since, my Dad's funeral, the day we moved away. My Mom had cut off everyone from this place but except for Aunt Lucy and Uncle Jack.

"Last Time, I seen you was at David's funeral" She said the last part slowly and she smiled

"Yeah, I'm out here visiting for the summer. I'm staying with Aunt Lucy and Uncle Jack"

"Is Maria, here too?"

"Nope, she's still back home in California"

"Oh My, Really I live close by them. I have to give you my number. We have to hang out or something or I'm sorry but I have to get your friends order here"

"I'm so sorry dears, What cant I get for you guys"

"Its okay. We'll have two olive pizzas, one pepperoni and one Hawaiian style" Sharpay smiled and said Marianna nodded then smiled

"Okay, Ill be right back"

"Who was that?" Troy asked

"My Aunt" I said before taking a sip of my lemonade.

He didn't say anything back that, I'm guessing he had nothing else to say

"So Gabriella, how old are you" Jason asked and I looked up at him and smiled

"I'm 17 turning 18 December 14" I replied

"Oh, Cool. So How is California, Is It any different Albuquerque"

"I don't know really?. I guess I was really too young to really know how Albuquerque really was. I guess Its more quiet, less Jackasses I guess. I guess Albuquerque is more quiet while the California is more badass."

"Do you play any sports?" Taylor asked

"Unfortunately No but I always secret wanted to become a cheerleader but I didn't want to be one of part of team of sluts in California"

"Trust Me, You wouldn't want to be apart of East High's Barbie Plastic Cheer Team"

"Wow, thanks Pay" Tenley said sarcastically and Sharpay laughed

"I wasn't referring to you, you're not plastic, your boobs are real babe"

"Thanks Shar, That really makes me feel better"

"But I always was referring to that Bitch Bianca"

Tenley? A Cheerleader, Why Am I not surprised?

"Here Is You Guys Food" Marianna came back placing the pizzas in front of us

"And here is my number, Gabriella call me and give your mother my number too. I'll see you soon, I have to go home and check on your little cousins and your uncle""Tell Uncle Will, I said Hi" I said before hugging her

"It was nice seeing you again"

"You Too"

"I love you" She said and I smiled

"You Too?"

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I said You Too? The Last Person, I told someone I loved them to was my father and I lost him. So I'll never say it again. I just couldn't. I don't think I can love anyone again? I love my mother, Maria but I just cant say it?

"I'm full" Chad said before leaning back in his chair and snapping me out my thoughts

"Me too" Jason said

"Me Three but they should have added a little more seasoning to the sauce""Guys" Taylor mumbled

"Okay, you guys were all exhausted" Sharpay said

"Hey, guys who's up for a sleepover and movie night at my house" Troy said

"We do It every time, which I why I brought extra clothes" Sharpay said

"Okay, you guys lets pay for the check"

I reached out into my pocket and reached for money before Sharpay stop me.

"Oh, Gabriella you don't have to do that. I'm paying for everyone, I'm the one who invited everyone out"

"Oh No, No No! Its fine, Ill pay for my part"

"But Babe, you hardly even chewed the pizza on your plate, you only had one slice"

"Oh I'm not very hungry anymore but I insist"

"No, Gabriella Its okay"

"Okay!" I mumbled softly before stuffing the cash back into my wallet and into my pocket.

"But Thanks anyways" She smiled

"Welcome"

XOXOXOXOXO

After Sharpay's driver dropped all at Troy's house, we all sat in the family room in our sleeping bags and stuff. Lucille and Jack agreed to the sleepover but they said they would check on us once in a while and that they would be listening. We sitting in the middle of watching "A Walk To Remember" which the boys continued to moan and groan then complain about. I looked over to see Troy had been gone for a while when he went to go get more popcorn and I got up to go find him. When I walked the door, I opened It to go upstairs and walk to his room.

And I knocked on the door softly no answer but I decided to turn the knob and I gasped when I saw Troy and Tenley kissing on his bed.

XOXOXOXOXO
