Well I want to thank all those who reviewed and added my story to their alerts and favorites. That's what makes my world go round!! Well don't want to keep you waiting any longer so here we go…….

Chapter 2: Mama say what!?

Gabriella's POV

That had to be the longest 20 minutes of my life! All these people can talk about is that damn wedding! Not that I'm not happy for my mother, I mean what kinda daughter do you take me for? Of course she'd never know it, cause I know I'd never tell her.

We pulled up to the courthouse and I couldn't wait to get out of the car. Ariana could not stop talking about her dress and how cute her shoes were and blah blah blah. I mean who really cares? I don't even know what my dress looks like, much less do I care. It's not like I'm actually going to wear it. I told my mother there ain't no way in hell.

I walked into the courthouse ignoring my mother asking me to wait. Well, she's the one who was all bent out of shape that we were going to be late.

I walked straight into the courthouse and went to the front desk. I saw who was on duty and my day most definitely got better. Officer Montoya. Mm! Damn he was cute. He had this whole Daddy Yankee thing going for him and that just made it better. He definitely made my visits with Ms. I'm-so-happy-my-life-must-be-a-Disney-movie.

He obviously wasn't paying attention. He was always on duty when I came for the monthly visits I love oh so much. And every time I came he had those damn headphones on. I sighed knowing that if I had charged my Ipod last night I could've saved 20 minutes of pain and suffering I was forced to endure.

I leaned over the desk and pulled the headphones out of his ears.

"Aren't you supposed to be guarding something? That is your job isn't it?" I said a little too sweetly.

"Well if it isn't Gabriella Montez?" He said smiling. Did I mention he had a sexy smile? Well he sure does!! "So what brings you here on this oh so lovely day? I thought you weren't supposed to be back for a couple of months." He narrowed his eyes at me. "What did you do?"

I looked at him in utter shock. "Me?? Do something?! I would never!!" He just looked at me in pure disbelief. I just sighed ……. Dramatically. "What?! I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd stop by. You know? Visit you and Mrs. Must-Save-All-Teens-From-Damnation. Just the usual torture I'm forced to go through.

"Well that's not what I heard."

"Oh really? And just what exactly did you hear? He leaned in closer and quirked an eyebrow.

"A car through a house? You know that's illegal right?" I swear I could see that annoying but sexy smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"You sure you doing the right job? I didn't know comedians worked here." He definitely was not making my day any better. He just started laughing. Damn, it was a good laugh, but still wasn't helping. I was about to tell him off before I was interrupted by Mrs. Too-Nice-For-My-Taste interrupted me.

"I was wondering when you were gonna get here Ms. Gabriella Montez!" There is nothing more annoying than a short, red headed, chubby woman with the most Annoying southern accent ever.

I groaned and gave Officer Montoya a look that screamed "SAVE ME!" but he just ignored it and smiled. If that smile wasn't so cute I'd slap it off.

"Come on now silly goose! You know I don't bite…much!!" She started cracking up at her own pathetic attempt at a joke. "Now all joking aside," joking my ass, "we have some serious business to get to!" I reluctantly followed her into her office with my mother and Nathan on my heels. Where Ariana was the last thing on my mind.

Well here goes nothing…..

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Normal POV

They walked into the office and took their usual seats with an exception of Nathan, who usually wasn't there. What is he doing here? Anyway, Mrs. Sunshine took a seat and opened a folder that Gabriella assumed was hers. Wow it was thick! Gabriella has been a bad girl.

It was silent for a couple of minutes. The only sound that you could hear was the sound of their breathing and the ticking of the clock.

"Ms. Montez, we have pulled many strings for Gabriella. Trying to set her path straight, but I'm afraid to say that there aren't many options left."

"Well," her mother started, "We would like to go with the option we discussed earlier this week. We think it would be best."

During this whole conversation, Gabriella had all her focus on taking the already chipped nail polish off her nails. When she finally started paying attention, she was extremely confused. When the hell did they "discuss" stuff and where was she?

"Um, hold up just a minute and rewind, shall we? What he hell did you discuss and uh where the hell was I?!" She asked not backing down without an answer.

Her mother looked at Nathan and he nodded his head leaving Gabriella even more confused than before.

"Well sweetie," Oh No! She is being waayy too nice. Something was definitely wrong. "Me and Nathan have been talking," that's never a good sign, "And we thought that since you were going back to school after the wedding, that," she stopped. Why the hell did she stop?!

"We thought that what? You'd kill me so I'd stop causing trouble, you'd lock me up? What!?" The suspense was killing her and it was really starting to make her nervous.

Her mother bent down in front of her and put her hands on Gabriella's knees and looked her in the eye. "Honey, you are now a member of the Bainbridge Military! You know, the one that Nathans family owns?" Gabriella was in complete shock. Mi-military Academy!?!?

"Mama Say What!? I'm sorry but I could've sworn I heard the word military come out of your mouth. That's not possible, right? You're just kidding, right?" Had she heard right? Their silence and her mother's inability to look her in the eye sure answered her question.

She jumped out of her chair, knocking it over. "Are to you freaking kidding me!? Why don't you send me to jail!? I thing I'd be better off, don't you? I mean since you see no reason to include me in on stuff that messes up my life!" She was way past her boiling point.

"Now Gabi, me an your mother have already discussed this thoroughly and you have to believe that we just want what's best for you." Nathan said putting an arm around her mothers shoulder.

"Hold the freak up!! Who do you think you are!? First of all it's GABRIELLA!! What the hell is so hard to understand!? And second of all, you are not my father and you never will be! So why don't you take your military academy and shove it up your ass?!!" She grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room, ignoring her mother. She had to get out of there. Get some fresh air or something. She knew she couldn't be around those traitors anymore.

She walked straight past Officer Montoya and straight out of the courthouse. She put her hood on and started walking. Where's she going? Not even she knew.

Gabriella's Thoughts

This is such bullcrap!! I can't believe my own…. You know what? I can believe it! Not that the dysfunctional daughter is gone they can have the perfect family! Whet the hell do they need me for? They got perfect, prissy Ariana. Urgh!! They can all go to hell!!!

Normal POV

She reached into her bag and took out her phone. She hit speed dial 2 and put the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" A groggy voice answered.

"You, it's G. Look I need you to come get me."

"Gabi? You aight? What's wrong?"

She sighed. "Can you just get your lazy butt out of bed and freaking pick me up!?" She really didn't need this crap.

"Aight!! Chillax a little! Damn! I'll be right there?" Silence. "Where am I going again?"

As much as she loved him he was so slow sometimes. "I'm sitting my ass on a bench in front of City Hall. You know the one with the park across the street?"

"Yeah I know where that's at. I'll be there in 10 aight?"

"Yeah. Whatever. Just hurry the freak up." She hung up her phone and lied down on the bench, waiting or the one person she knew she could trust.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

15 minutes later and a red '07 Camry parked in front of City Hall. A tall dark-skinned man got out of the car. He walked into the park and immediately saw Gabriella laid out on a bench. Figuring her should take advantage of this situation; he slowly creeps up on her.

"Chad, I am in no freaking mood."

"Man, how do you do that!?"

She sighed and sat up making room on the bench for him to sit. He sat down and put his arm around Gabriella's shoulder.

"So what was so important that you had to wake me from my beauty sleep?" Gabriella sighed deeply.

"Freaking military school is what was so damn important." She said in a harsh whisper.
My so-called mother and soon to be army-husband decided that I should join the "yes-sir, no-sir" zombies of Bainbridge Military Academy."

"Yo ain't that the toughest M.A. in the state? I'd hate to have to go there." That earned him a punch in the gut.

"Thanks ass. That's very helpful. I can't believe his crap. Of all the things they could've done, they just had to choose this!" She slouched lower on the bench.

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad."

"You see?!" She said standing up. "That's where you are dead wrong! When have I ever been one to follow orders or even simple requests?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "Go ahead! Tell me one, just one freaking time!"

"Aight! You got a point! God, but come on, you're making it bigger than it is.

"You have got to be freaking kidding me! Whose side are you on!?"

"Now come on that ain't fair. I mean your mastermind Gabi. I'm sure you'll figure something out. I mean you were the only one who was able to get out of Ms. Harrison's lecture on sex and how it is normal what you feel about it." Chad said imitating their 9th grade health teacher. "Who woulda thought she was gullible enough to believe that you had, give me a second. Just thinking bout it…hoo. I mean, Rooney? I didn't even know what the hell that was."

Gabriella grinned evilly. " Well you aren't exactly Dr. Know-it-all. I can still remember the look on her face when she saw "the scabs.""

Flashback

It was 6th period and Gabriella was already late (as usual). She heard some rumor going around that Ms. Harrison was giving a lecture about sex to all her health classes. Gee wouldn't that be loads of fun. Sarcasm in case you didn't notice.

Gabriella knew that there was no way in hell that she would listen to 45 minutes of her teacher talking about the birds and the bees. She didn't have much time but she had to think of something. Ah Huh! She remembered that she had her health book in her bag. (To doodle in of course. Like she'd read a text book.) She looked in the back of the book and found the solution to her problem.

She had to think quick. Yeah, she was already late but she didn't want to be extra late, if that was possible.

Just as she thought of a miracle solution to that problem, Missy Binkings walked down the hall. Missy was queen of cosmetics in East High. Now to get Missy willing to just go with the flow would be a piece of cake.

Missy stepped into the bathroom and Gabriella followed her in. She went to the sink and pretended to wash her hands as she looked in the mirror waiting for Missy to come out. When she finally did and went to wash her hands, Gabriella went to get a paper towel and "accidentally" dropped Missy's purse on the floor.

"Oops! I am so sorry!" She said in the fakest voice she could muster.

"Its all right." As Gabriella helped her pick up the make up she found what she needed and slipped it into her pants pocket. She smiled at Missy before leaving the bathroom.

"Sucker…."

She didn't have much time to get this done. She turned to the page in her health book that she needed and began to copy the "marks" on her skin with the make up she cough borrowed.

Once she was done she threw the make up over her shoulder and proceeded to walk to her class. She stopped at the door and prepared for the greatest performance of her life, probably the greatest. She's had so many.

"This class is the male reproductive organ also known as…." Gabriella walked into the class. "Ms. Montez! Late again?" She looked at Gabriella with annoyance and then with worry. "Ms. Montez what is that on your arm?" Gabriella looked at her arm and looked at her teachers face with fake fear on her face. Got her eating right out of my palm.

"I-I don't know… I don't feel so…" Then she fainted. Or pretended to faint anyways. That got her sent home and helped her miss that stupid lecture. It would have been a sweet success if they hadn't called her mother.

End of Flashback

"Yeah that was pretty genius wasn't it?" Gabriella smiled despite the anger deep inside her.

"Just a little bit. How bout we get some Chinese food? I'm starving!"

"You're always hungry Chad."

"So? Man's gotta eat!"

"Yeah yeah yeah.."

Chad was right. All she had to do was figure out what she could conjure up to get out of this military bullcrap. But what, was the question? I'm sure she'll think of something….
