Gabriella has always lived in New York, but then she's moves to Albuquerque to find the real her.

I don't know why I keep on using the word 'un-pleasantly' give me a word that is better than 'un-pleasantly'.


"No, I'm just curious." Troy said, then walked over to his locker and Gabriella followed after him.

"Oh, alright." She said and they both went to meet Kelsi in the music room.

"Hi, Kelsi." Troy said, greeting her.

"Hi, Troy." Kelsi said greeting him back.

"So, what song do we have today, Kelsi?" Gabriella asked her smiling.

"Well, we still need to carry on with Last Christmas." Kelsi replied, answering her question.

"I know we do." Gabriella said as Troy went to sit at the piano, waiting on her.

Then they both went over to join him at the piano.

"I keep my distance. But you still catch my eye." Gabriella sung to Troy as Sharpay entered the room.

"Singing to Troy? Why am I not surprised?" Sharpay smirked at her, then she sat next to Troy.

"Sharpay, she was sitting there." Kelsi spat out at her, then all four of them headed towards class.

"Hi, Miss. Durbus." Kelsi said, greeting her as she walked into the classroom.

"Good morning, everyone." Miss. Durbus said.

"Hey, Miss. Durbus." Everyone said greeting her back.

"Okay. During free period, I noticed that Gabriella is a very good singer and, so is Troy." Miss. Durbus said looking at them both.

"How are they both good singers?" Chad whispered to Taylor.

"She must had heard them singing in the music room and thought they both had good voices, but it seems we have a new comer in the classroom." Taylor explained to him.

"Do I hear talking in my classroom?" Miss. Durbus asked looking over at Taylor and Chad.

"No. No-one was talking." Chad replied to her.

"Miss. Durbus," Troy sighed. "they both were talking and, I heard the both of them." Troy said with honesty.

"Thank you, Troy." Miss. Durbus, then faced Chad and Taylor.

"You both could help the drama club with the lighting crew." Miss. Durbus said and left the room for one minute.

"Thanks a lot, Troy." Chad said, sounding a bit angry.

"Well, you shouldn't of lied like that and, I trusted you. But lately you haven't been around to listen to us sing. Some friend you are, Chad." Troy said defending himself.

"Some friend I am?" Chad questioned him.

'I hope those two boys will get along soon.' Gabriella thought to herself.

"Boys, stop fighting and start getting along already." Gabriella said yelling at them both.

"You tell them girl." Someone said to her.

"You both were suppose to be friends and your hurting each other over some singing thing. But Troy you certainly hurt your best friend." She said standing at her desk.

"But Gabriella..." Troy tried to say to her, but he got cut of.

"I don't wanna hear it, Troy. You've been like this, since we were on the garden roof." She exclaimed to him.

"I know I have." Troy replied.

"Chad, you've been this way, since you heard about us singing in the show." Gabriella said looking at him.

"But..." Chad began to say as Taylor butted in.

"Chad, Gabriella's right. You yelled at Troy and you got me in detention, then you lie to me and, I thought you and Troy were best friends." Taylor said as she ran out of the classroom, crying.

"I can't even look at you both now. Because of what's happened." Gabriella said as she walked out of the classroom and Troy followed her.

"Look, I'm sorry that I've been a jerk." Troy confessed to her.

"You have been a jerk. But, I can't see why you and Chad can't get a long with each other. Taylor trusted you, I trusted you." Gabriella cried out.

"Gabriella, I am really sorry." Troy said almost shedding a tear.

"I can't be around you anymore, Troy." Gabriella said, leaving without a single word.


'I wish I could explain it to her.' Troy thought to himself and dropped by Gabriella's house.

He knocked on door and someone answered it.

"Hi, Miss. Montez, is Gabriella home?" He asked her and Gabriella came running down the stairs.

"Troy, what are you doing here?" She exclaimed him.

"Look, Chad and, I have been like this for two days and it really upsets me to see you like this. But I tried to be nice to him and tried to be a good friend to him." Troy explained to her.

"I think you've done enough damage as it already is, Troy." Gabriella said and slammed the front door.

Then she heard a phone call from her Dad.

"Hi, Dad." She said with a smile.

"Hi, Gabby." Her dad said calling her by her nickname.

"How have you been?" She asked him politely.

"I've been well and how's mum?" He asked her.

"She's been fine and she's got a new job." Gabriella told him.

"I know. And, I gotta go now." He said to her.

"Bye, Dad." Gabriella said as they both hung up the phone.

'Well, that was an interesting phone call from my Dad." Gabriella thought to herself and went back into doing her homework.

The next day, Gabriella went up to the roof garden to have a look at the view when Troy joined her.

"It sure seems nice." A voice said, standing behind her.

"It sure does." Gabriella said turning around and realised who it was.

"Hi, Troy." She said avoiding eye contact to him.

"Gabriella, what is it gonna take to say I'm sorry?" He asked her.

"Look, I had to think about it and, I forgive you. But you need to apologise to Chad." Gabriella suggested to him.

"Fine. But first he needs to apologise to me." Troy said, just as Chad joined them.

"Troy, I am sorry that I haven't been a good friend to friend to you." Chad cried out.
