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

I didn't get a chance to help my Dad with the Christmas and, I'm going to college tomorrow, but I won't be home, until 3:00 in the afternoon.


"Okay." She said, then went to sleep. Tom had put the covers over her.

"Goodnight, Tom." She whispered.

"Goodnight, Gabriella." Tom said as he went out the back door.

Then the next day, Gabriella walked up to her locker, then she saw Troy walking towards her.

"Hi, Gabriella." Troy smirked at her.

"Hi, Troy." She said not looking at him.

"Do you want to sing 'Last Christmas' with me?" Troy asked her.

"Um, yes, I still do." She said and the song writing to Kelsi.

Then all three of sat at the piano and started to play the song.

"Tell me, baby. Do you recognise me. Well, it's been a year. It doesn't surprise me." Troy sung, looking t Gabriella.

"Merry Christmas. I wrapped it up sent it. With a note saying, 'I love you' I meant it." Gabriella sung back to him and when the music session was finished. Troy headed towards the Gym.

"Hi, Chad." He said smiling at him.

"Why are you smiling, like a treasure cat?" Chad asked him.

"Because I had a great music session with Gabriella." He said, still smiling away.

Then Gabriella went to see the boys playing in the gym.

"Hey, Gabs." Troy said, walking over to her.

"Hey, hoops." She said, giving him a nickname.

"I thought you said you didn't want to be seen around me?" Troy said, smiling at her, then Gabriella saw somebody standing behind him.

"Tom, can you give us some space so that we can talk alone?" She asked him and he left them alone.

"I said that because you were of in twinkle town." She said, teasing him.

"I was not of in twinkle town. What is with you these days, Gabriella? First, you get me to apologise to Chad and now you think I'm of in twinkle town." He exclaimed to her and she walked away from him.

'I didn't mean to upset him.' She thought and just went outside to sit on the bench.

"You have away of making him upset." Someone said standing behind her.

"Tom, it wasn't my fault." She exclaimed, when Troy walked behind Tom.

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you, Troy." She said and just walked away from him.

"Troy, what did you do to make her hate you?" Tom asked him.

"Well, me and Chad were perfectly fine when we were doing basketball, then Miss. Durbus had us on the list for the spring musical and after that, Chad found out, that I was gonna sing in the show." He explained to him.

"That doesn't sound like the Troy I know. The Troy I know, wouldn't let Gabriella go and, I know it from the bottom of my heart." Tom advised him, then Troy chased after Gabriella.

"Gabriella, wait." He said, standing by her locker

"Okay." She said, yelling.

"Look, a few days ago we were the perfect couple and now we have no idea what we're gonna do." Troy told her.

"Troy, I still love you and, I can except that the choice was chosen for you. But there is a chance for us to make it work again." She said, wantng to make a head start.

"I know there still is and, I'm hoping that you can forgive me for causing this situation between me, you and Chad." Troy said wanting to put the past behind them.


At lunchtime the basketball team saw Troy and Gabriella holding hands.

"I see you two are back together?" Chad said, sarcastically.

"Yes, we worked everything out and Tom kindly help us out." He said, proudly to his friends.

"So how did you's work it out?" Someone asked standing behind him.

"By getting some help." Gabriella told him, gladly.

"Okay." He said, then went to join the others.

"Troy, I need to get my science book ready for the next lesson." She told him and she went to get her science book out that's when she heard footprints from Tom.

"I thought you were suppose to be with the wildcats?" She questioned him, then headed of to the girls toilets.

Then she came back out and saw Natalie with her two best friends.

"Hello, girls." She said, waving at them.

"Is this the girl you were talking about?" Emma asked Natalie.

"Yes, this is the girl. That is the girl I've been talking about." Natalie replied.

"So I've been hearing you's in the toilet when I need to pee." She told the three of them.

"Well, who are we suppose to talk about, Gabriella?" Natalie's friend questioned her.

"Well, you could start of by talking about Sharpay Evans." Gabriella suggested to them.

"Fine. But only if we do it for 20 pound." Emma replied.

"Okay, only for 20 pound." Gabriella agreed.

Then Gabriella turned and bumped into Troy who was heading to science.

"Gabriella, can I come over after school?" Troy asked her politely.

"Sure. Why not." Gabriella replied to him and held hands with him as they both headed into the classroom.

"Good afternoon, class." Mr. Dawson said.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Dawson." Everyone said nicely.

"Psst, Gabriella." Tom whispered to her.

"What, Tom?" Gabriella whispered to her.

"Nothing. Forget about it, Gabriella." Tom said, getting up from his desk to give his work in to the teacher.

"I will, Tom." She said, out loud and forgot about it.

Then it was time to go home.

"Three months, until my sister is born." Gabriella whispered to herself.

She opened the door to her home and went upstairs to put her bag and keys on her bag.

"Hi, Sarah." She said answering her phone to her.

"Hi, Gabriella." Sarah said, down the phone line to her.

"How has Sled been?" Gabriella asked her.

"He's been fine. But, I hear that you got a boyfriend in Albuquerque." She said down the phone line to her.

"Yeah. But our school is being changed for a reason." Gabriella told her.

"How is it changing?" Sarah asked questioning her.

"I can't tell you and the last time you weren't so nice to me." Gabriella said to her.

"I didn't mean that the last time, I swear." Sarah said, starting to panic.

"Well, it's okay. I forgive you." She said to her, calmly.

"Guess who wants to speak to you, Gabriella?" Sarah asked her.
