I want to thank everyone who had reviewed me in the last chapter.

I would have to say that i am not quite proud of this chapter but i had to post it.

Sorry if you hate it but i swear i would write a better one soon.



Whenever you see a beautiful girl, you would think, 'Oh! She must a model' or "Oh! She must have the beautiful gene' or even 'Oh, her dad pays for anything she wants because she's daddy's little girl'. Gabriella Montez is all those things except for the first one.

Born to a middle-high class family, Gabriella can get anything she wants. Ever since her mother past away when she was 10, her dad had done everything to make sure that the hole in her heart is filled. Unfortunately, the hole has been filled with being a total brat.

Gabriella wasn't always a total brat. She was actually a normal girl with normal friends. She just doesn't know how to make the right decisions, that's all.

When getting everything she ever wanted, Gabriella see her life as easy-going and that she doesn't have to worry about anything except about the hair getting split ends.

Gabriella's dad, Len, works as the president of an architectural company and gets paid pretty well. Not wanting to make Gabriella be even more depressed by the death of his wife, he tried to give Gabriella anything she wants, whenever she wants it. He just doesn't like seeing her sad. He wants to see her happy and moving on with her life instead of mourning. But sometimes when giving someone freedom, it will come back to kick you in the ass.

After looking at Gabriella's credit card bill, Len was about to blow up. He couldn't believe the advantage his daughter took for granted for using his credit card. He knew that she had gone too far and he needs to put a stop to it.

"I am cutting you off," Len said simply to her daughter.

"What?" Gabriella asked as if her dad is stupid. "Why?"

"Gabriella, when you shop, do you ever bother to check the price tag?" her dad asked.

"Should I? I thought I could get anything I want?" Gabriella said, reminding her dad what he told her years ago.

"Well now I'm drawing the line here."

"How will I get money from?" Gabriella asked.

"There's this thing I've been doing for years now. It's called a job," her dad said sarcastically.

Since then, Gabriella tried her best to find out what she's going to do for the rest of her life. She hated to admit it, but her father is right. She needs to get a job. She can't imagine being one of those 'Paris Hiltons' who goes to parties every night and keep dating different guy every week. Then she realised how much she loved fashion. She especially loved designing wedding dresses for women. She remembered finding her mother's wedding dress when she was little and imagined her wearing a beautiful white gown as beautiful as her mother's. Sometimes when finding inspirations for sketching her wedding dresses, she looks at her mom's to see how she could make it modernised but yet classic.

She even has a book of wedding dress sketches that looked so good that she even started to sew it when she had time. She is secretly designing a wedding dress she would wear for her big day. She knew she shouldn't think about marriage but she couldn't help but wearing the perfect wedding dress that she will walk down the aisle with.

One day, while looking through the newspaper, she found out that there's a vacant studio around the town area. The picture of the studio looks very convincing to Gabriella and she can't wait to buy it. That afternoon, she called in to ask for more details about the studio.

"The studio will cost you $15000," said the women selling the studio.

"Oh. Really? Wow. Must I pay you right away?" Gabriella asked.

"Pretty much. If you are interested, I could reserve this studio for you. I don't think anyone would want to buy this studio anyways," the women offered.

"Really? Thank you so much. I will get the money as soon as I can. When would you want the money?"

"Maybe by next month?"

Next month?! How am I going to get $15000 in a month? I don't even have a job. Gabriella thought.

"Um, yeah, sure. Next month would be good. Thank you."

---

Gabriella is currently living in a Manhanttan apartment with her longtime friend, Sharpay Evans. She and Sharpay have known each other since middle school and had grew up together for years. Sharpay has always been there for Gabriella through the ups and the downs in her life. She was always there for Gabriella whenever she needs it.

"How are you going to get the money, Gabs? Your dad will never give you that much just for a studio," said Gabriella's friend, Sharpay.

Gabriella shrugged, "I would have to work for it I guess. I'm sure my dad won't mind me working at his company right?"

"Why don't you just tell him you want a studio to start your business. He can't say no to that right? Isn't he the one that told you to work?" Sharpay pointed out.

"Well, yeah but I think it would so much better if I raise the money by myself. There's no harm to that right?"

One day at the office, Gabriella was slacking off when her dad's assistant called her into his office. Gabriella was nervous to know what he wanted. She knocked on his office door and slowly opened it.

"Dad?"

"Gabriella, please have a seat," her dad said.

"What is this about? I haven't been using your – erm, I mean my credit in the last few weeks," Gabriella said.

"This isn't about your credit card. Or mine, for that matter. I just want you to know that I will be away for a few weeks for an overseas business trip. Since I know you can't survive without my money, I am giving you access to my bank account. But only for emergencies," her dad explained. "Understood?"

"Why does this have to be concerned by me?" Gabriella asked.

"Because I know you. I know that you will get yourself in such situations that I don't want to know," answered her dad.

"It's not like I'm going to rob a bank dad. I get paid $2000 per week," Gabriella said. "Plus, what kind of trouble will I get myself into for a few weeks. Usually trouble will find me in a month so you won't have to worry about me at all. I swear."

"Alright, have it your way. Just try not to trust anyone. Or do anyone a favour okay? I just want you to be safe."

Gabriella sighed. Her dad is overprotective sometimes. She got up and hugged her dad tightly. "Chill out dad. You're only gone for a few weeks. Not a whole year. It'll be fine. I'll even have Sharpay take care of me efficiently so I won't get in trouble at all."

"That's what I'm counting on."


So how was it? Good?

PLEASE REVIEW and i will work on the next chapter ASAP!
