I'm really sorry it took so long for me to update I got sick and I couldn't think straight anyway I think I feel better. So here's the next chapter for 'Back Home'

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I was not paid for anything I wrote nor do I want to be paid.

In the quad at East High

"So you're here for good?"Jason asked for what seemed to be like the 30th time. Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Yes, Jason. YES!"Gabriella said. "Gee! I was just asking."Jason said in defense. Nate and Shane snickered. "Okay. Why don't we get you to class? Do you know your home room already?"Shane asked as he wrapped an arm around his little sister's shoulders. Instead of answering Gabriella reached into her bag and got her schedule and waved it in front of Shane's face.

"Who do you have?"Nate asked. Gabriella read her schedule. "Uhm… Ms. Darbus."Gabriella answered. "Awesome!"Shane said as he high-fived his 2 other brothers. "We got same."Nate said. "Oh! I think I need to switch I wouldn't like to be in the same home room as my older brothers! That's just… yuck!"Gabriella joked. Her brothers gave her a 'that hurt' look. "I'm kidding. Of course I'm happy to be in the same home room as my bros. I don't want to be apart from you guys now… I missed you guys too much!" Gabriella said with a giggle then they all laughed along.

"OMG. Is that your library?! It's huge! If I only knew you had a library this big I should've moved her ages ago! How come you never told me?! Oh my gosh! I need to check this out! I'll meet you in home room. Bye!"Gabriella said then ran into the library in front of her leaving her brothers staring at the place where she was. "So much for not being apart."Shane said. "Dude, it's cool. We all know that no one can take away Ella from books."Nate said. "Yes. Unlike us… I'd do anything to get away from a text book nowadays."Jason said with a laugh. "Same."Shane and Nate said as the 3 of them walked to home room.

With Gabriella in the library:

Gabriella walked through the section of books and was thrilled not even 'Brooke wood' had as many books as East High has. She was definitely going to enjoy being at East High. She started walked backwards to see all the books but, then hit someone accidentally making him drop all the books he was carrying on the floor. "I'm so sorry. It was very stupid of me to— Hey… I know you!"Gabriella said as she helped the guy pick up the books then looked up and saw his familiar face. The guy laughed. "I bet you do because I know who you are."He said politely. "You do?"I asked with a giggle. "Wait I'm flirting?"Gabriella mentally asked herself.

"You are Gabriella right? I'm Troy Bolton the guy with your brothers this morning."Troy said. "It's nice to meet you, Troy."Gabriella said as she shook hands with him giving him her million dollar smile and he smiled back. "He's cute and he reads too! I love a guy who reads!"Gabriella blushed in her mind. "You read a lot?"Gabriella asked. "Yes. I might be a jock but, I need to keep the grades up."Troy said. Gabriella almost melted he was jock which means he likes sports and he likes to read and oh gosh! He has that cute little smile and the AH-DORABLE blue eyes. A combination of things she likes! "I see. So you run in the same circles as my brothers."Gabriella said. "Yeah." Troy said. "Well, how come when my brothers see a text book they start to run first chance they get."Gabriella said with a giggle and troy laughed along.

Ring!

"Hey, That's the warning bell. I guess we should get going."Troy said. "Your right. I still have to find my way to class. Looks like a tardy on the first day."Gabriella said. "Oh hey. Let me help you. Who's your home room?"Troy asked. "Ms. Darbus."Gabriella answered. "We have the same. Mind if we walk together?"Troy asked politely. "Lead the way."Gabriella said. Then they both started walking to Ms. Darbus' homeroom.

(This is what is going on in Gabriella's mind)

1st He's cute
2nd He likes sports (Author's note: Gabriella is sporty just like her bros)
3rd He has nice hair
4th He has perfect blue eyes! I am such a sucker for those kind!
5th He reads! And he seems smart!
6th He's friends with my brothers
7th He's nice!

Oh gosh! He's—Wait! Gabriella! You just met him you can't possibly like him like him! …yet I mean I still need to actually get to know him more an—"Gabriella?"

Back to reality

"Gabriella?"Troy said trying to get Gabriella's attention since suddenly she was so quiet. "Huh? I mean yes?"Gabriella said. "Are you okay?"Troy asked. "Yeah sure."Gabriella said politely.

Okay. I know it's not my best work but, I tried to make it one of my best but, I guess I'm still sick. Still not thinking straight… I hoped you liked it anyway. I'll try to update soon for both my stories. Thanks for reading XOXO JoeJonasluver05
