Much Love


She walked down the hall. Bright red mini skirt. White vest top. Slightly on the small side. White heels clicking on the floor. Hips swinging lightly. Hair bouncing behind her. Guy whistling. Slapping her arse as she walked past. Jealous glares from cheerleaders. This was nothing unusual to Gabriella Montez. It happened at every school she went to. She walked into the office. She collected her schedule. And she walked to homeroom.

She was late.

“Ah, Miss Montez. So nice of you to join us. Pity you’ll spend your first day in detention.” she simply rolled my eyes, before walking to a seat.

“Class, this is Gabriella Montez. Welcome to East High.” Ms Darbus said, raising her eye brows at her. Gabriella sighed, tapping her manicured nails on the table, head resting on her fist.

“Now where is Bolton and Danforth?” Gabriella gasped. Everyone looked at her.

“Um, as in Danforth do you mean…” She trailed off, seeing 2 boys run into the room, panting.

“Sorry Ms Darbus, practice ran a little late.” One said.

“C.D!” Gabriella squealed.

“Gabi!” Chad said, coming over. She pulled him into a hug.

“Montez! Danforth! Get to your seats at once!” The two sighed, before sitting down.


“Look at how grown up you are! The last time I saw you, you were like, tiny!” Gabriella cooed. She had free period, as did Chad, and they had decided to spend it catching up.

“Same said for you Gabs! You look great!” He said looking her up and down.

“Well, I try my best.” Gabriella said, blushing slightly. “So who was that guy you ran in with earlier?” She had liked the look of him, even though she had only seen him for a split second.

“Oh, that’s my best mate Troy Bolton. He’s captain of the basketball team.” Gabriella nodded her head, her eyes sparkling in her cheeky way. “Gabi… Don’t be getting any ideas…”

“Me? Getting ideas? I don’t know what your talking about.” she said innocently. He just sighed.

“You never change.” he laughed. “So what are you doing here? Not that I’m not happy, but I didn’t think I’d see you again after moving!”

“Well, my mum moved me around again, basically every other vacation, the usual ‘it has better pay’, and I’m here. She promised I’d be here until graduation though, so that’s a relief!”

“Same reason all the time ain’t it!” Chad laughed. “What class you got next?”

“Chemistry.” She rolled her eyes, before laughing along with Chad. She knew she’d be fine, after all, she had a friend now.


Gabriella stood at her locker, trying to figure out which books she needed. She tapped the locker door.

“Looking for something?” someone said from behind her. She swung round, and saw it was Chad’s friend Troy.

“Depends,” she said, stepping closer to him. “What do you think I’m looking for?” Troy stared at her.

“Well, I have a few ideas.” He said stepping so the two bodies were touching. Gabriella leaned up to his ear.

“Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.” she whispered, before walking down the hallway. She squealed at herself inside her head. He was gorgeous! She had felt his muscles through his shirt, he had a well built frame, and the most amazing blue eyes. She clutched her books, biting her lip as she smiled.

“Troy!” he spun round, and saw Chad walking towards him.

“Hey man!” Troy said, high fiving his friend.

“See Gabi already got you.” Chad chuckled. Troy frowned.

“Huh?”

“Gabi. The girl you were just with. She is like that with everyone. A lot of people call her slut and stuff, but it’s just the way she is. Every boy falls for her, apart for moi, but I wouldn’t, I’ve known her too long.”

“Slut? Wow. Harsh.”

“Yeah, I know. She’s had to put up with some slack about it, but she doesn’t care. She’s never actually had a female friend, in fact, I’m probably the only person that she’s considered a friend.”

“How’d you meet her?” Troy asked.

“We were next door neighbours until she was about 9, when she moved away. She was like she is now, you know, skirts and heels, back then but she‘s changed too. No she‘s old enough, I‘m guess she goes further than making out. She’s ever guy’s dream come true really. But anyway. We kept in touch for a bit, but then I moved here. I’m not surprised she’s here, I mean, she constantly moves around.” Troy nodded.

“She’s nice. I like her.” Troy said matter-of-factly.

“Another one to fall at you feet. Though looks like you may fall at hers too!” Chad laughed, before walking off.


“PARTY AT JASON’S HOUSE! THIS SATURDAY! BEER PROVIDED! EVERYONE INVITED!!” People threw flyers all over the canteen. Gabriella grabbed one.


Saturday night. Gabriella pulled on her black mini dress. She put her feet into Black stilettos. She added black eye make up, making her eyes stand out. She took a deep breathe, before exciting the house, climbing into the car. She walked through the open door at half 9. She never went early, always late. Most guys were normally drunk by then. She went over to the table and grabbed some buts throwing them into her mouth. Most people were making out in corners or stumbling around drunk. The usual for a high school party. Gabriella grabbed a beer and took a sip, before walking into the crowd. She spotted Chad immediately, who happened to be with Troy. Her heart fluttered. Which was weird, it had never done that before. She walked up to them.

“Hey!” she shouted over the music, taking another sip.

“Gabi! You made it!” Chad said happily. Chad was never much of a drinker, so he wasn’t drunk. Unlike Troy.

“Let’s dance.” Troy slurred, pulling Gabriella into the crowd of dancing people. She giggled, and began dancing extremely close to him, her back facing him. He put his hands on her waist, her hands in the air a she sung her hips. She turned around and put her hands on his shoulders, and they danced on and on. People began to stop and watch them, a lot of girls fuming, wishing they were in her position. After dancing to 5 songs, Gabriella pulled Troy out and went over to the drinks table.

“Wanna see a trick?” she shouted to Troy. He just nodded. She took 3 glasses of beer, and drunk them, one after the other without a single breath. She slammed them down, feeling a little dizzy.

“wow. Spinning…” Gabriella fell, and Troy caught her. She looked up and him, her eyes sparkling and wide. Troy leant down and kissed her. After a minute, they pulled away, staring at one another.

“Let’s go somewhere a little private.” Gabriella suggested. Troy nodded and pulled her upstairs. They went into a room, and saw 2 people on the bed.

“GET OUT!” Troy growled. They immediately ran out.

“Wow. They are really scared of you.” Troy shrugged. He kissed her again, and she pushed him against the door. Troy quickly deepened the kiss, and pushed her so she was against the wall. Her hands pulled off his shirt, but never leaving his lips.

“Your too good a this Montez.” Troy muttered. She ran her foot up his leg, and Troy grabbed her thigh pulling her over to the bed in the center of the room. She pushed him down, breaking their lips apart. She sat on his stomach, legs either side of him, before pulling him up to meet her lips once more. He began kissing along her jaw line and her neck, so she moaned in pleasure. Red and blue flashing lights interrupted them, and shouts of “All right! Party’s over!” came from downstairs.

“Shit!” Troy muttered before throwing Gabriella over his shoulder and running into a room.

“Troy! We gotta get out!” Gabriella moaned, hitting his back.

“No we don’t! Jason is a mate of mine. I know his house. They can’t find us in here.” Troy went into the walk in wardrobe.

“In where?” Troy pushed her through the clothes.

“Here.” He said simply, before pushing open a hidden door. They fell in Troy on top of Gabriella, when they heard a cough. They looked up, to see a few people in there. Troy climbed up, then held his hand out to Gabriella, which she gratefully accepted. Sh looked around the room. It looked like some chill out room, with bean bags and sofas.

“Who are you guys?” Gabriella said, pointing at the other people in the room.

“I’m Chad. Obviously.” He grinned, earning himself a slap from Gabriella.

“I’m Taylor.” A small, African-American girl held out her hand, which Gabriella shook.

“I’m Jason.”

“Ahhh, this is your house then.” he nodded.

“I’m Zeke.” she smiled at him.

“And this is my girlfriend Kelsi.” Jason concluded. She shook the small girls hand, before yawning. Troy was sat down on a sofa behind her, and she sat on his lap, leaning her head on his shoulder. Chad raised an eyebrow at them.

“What’s going on between you two?”

“Nothing, he just had a comfy lap.” Gabriella shrugged. They heard footsteps, and Troy placed a hand over her mouth. No one breathed.

“No one’s left sir!” someone shouted, and they waited until the footsteps were out of hearing before they breathed out again.

“So what do we do now?” Gabriella asked sleepily, as Troy ran his hands through her hair.

“Wanna stay in here for a bit?” They all nodded. Just then, a banging was heard on the door. Gabriella jumped from the sudden noise. Zeke sighed, knowing exactly who it was. He opened the door, and there stood a blonde completely dressed in pink. She kissed Zeke on cheek before walking in. Gabriella raised her eyebrows at her. She was a little over the top.

“Who wants to play spin the bottle?” Chad said excitedly. Gabriella looked at him.

“Yeah! Oh my god! Remember when we used to play that?” Chad and Gabriella burst out laughing, while everyone looked at them weirdly. When they calmed down, they found a bottle and all lay on the floor. Jason spun the bottle and it landed on… Troy.

“Okay Troy, truth or dare?”

“Dare.”

“I dare you to kiss Sharpay.” Jason smirked.

“What?!” Troy, Zeke and Sharpay said in unison.

“That isn’t fair Jason.” Kelsi said.

“What? It’s only a kiss!” Jason said innocently. If looks could kill, Jason would have died a million times.

“What’s wrong with the dare?” Gabriella spoke up. They all turned to look at her.

“I’m going out with Zeke!” Sharpay said in ‘duh’ tone.

“So what? It’s only a kiss, and it doesn’t mean anything. What’s the harm in it?”

“Just because you’re a slut does not mean I am. I don’t cheat on my boyfriend.” Sharpay said vicously.

“Oh you did not just call my a slut.” Gabriella stood up, hand on hip.

“What you gonna do about it?” Sharpay stood up too, glaring at her.

“This ain’t gonna be good…” Chad whispered.

“You know what? I’m not going to do anything! I’ve been called a slut before, and trust me, I’ve put people in hospital for it. But I don’t care any more. It doesn’t bother me! If people can’t accept who I am, then they can go find someone who is interested in their petty names!” Gabriella threw her arms in the air.

“You really think that scares me? Hospital? For god’s sake. So you’re a slut AND a chav!”

“If you don’t watch your mouth I’m gonna break that nose of yours, so you’ll have to even more plastic surgery on it!” Gabriella shouted. Chad winced. No body talked to Sharpay like that.

“You did NOT just accuse me of plastic surgery!” She squealed.

“It’s so easy to notice! You have a scar! It totally shows you had surgery! I’m not surprised, after all , you just have to be like a Barbie doll!”

“Oh You are SO for it now!” Sharpay swung her arm to slap her, but Gabriella caught it.

“I wouldn’t try me if I were you.” Gabriella glared.

“Nice! You still got your moves!” Chad laughed. Everyone was watching the two girls, ice queen against ice queen.

“Get off me bitch!” Gabriella held her arm tighter. “Stop it! That hurts!” Gabriella let go of it.

“I’m not gonna bother sinking down to your level.” Gabriella spat, before taking her place next to Troy. Troy wondered what to do.

“um…”

“Let’s move on yeah?” Kelsi said. She spun the bottle, and it landed on Taylor.

“Truth or Dare?”

“Truth.” she said simply.

“Chicken.” Sharpay muttered.

“Is it true you fancy Chad?” Kelsi asked. Taylor glared at her.

“Kelsi!” Taylor said angrily. Chad looked taken back.

“Y-You like m-me?” Chad stuttered. Taylor blushed and nodded.

“Wow. Coz, I like you too.” Chad said. She smiled up at him, which he gladly returned.

“Aww, they are so sweet!” Gabriella cooed. She smiled at the sight in front of her. Taylor then spun the bottle. It landed on Gabriella.

“Dare.” she answered, smirking.

“Ahh, my Gabi always ready for a dare!” Chad said proudly. She smiled at him.

“Okay, Gabriella -”

“Call me Gabi.”

“Okay, Gabi, I dare you to stay in your bra and knickers for the rest of the night.” Taylor smirked. Gabriella shrugged, and stood up, she pulled off her dress, making all the boys whistle when they saw her in a thong. She stuck her tongue out at them, before sitting back down. She spun the bottle. It landed on Troy.

“Dare.”

“I dare you to stay in your boxers the whole night.” She smiled cheekily at him. He sighed, before pulling off his trousers and top. He spun the bottle, and it landed on Kelsi.

“Kelsi! Truth or Dare?” Kelsi thought for a moment.

“Truth.”

“Do you love Jason?”

“Yes.” Kelsi said simply, before gasping and covering her mouth, her eyes wide. Everyone was in shock.

“Y-You do?” Jason said, looking at her.

“Yeah. I love you Jason.” Kelsi smiled.

“I love you too Kel.” Jason smiled at her, before kissing her on the lips. Kelsi spun the bottle. It landed on Sharpay.

“Truth or Dare?”

“Truth.”

“And you called me a chicken!” Taylor muttered.

“Fine! Dare!” Sharpay said.

“I dare you… to… um… tell us your biggest secret!”

“That’s a truth question!” Sharpay protested.

“Yeah, I’m daring you to tell. So tell us!” Sharpay hesitated.

“Gabriella was right. I have had a nose job.” Sharpay muttered into her lap. Gasps filled the room.

“Wow!”

“Let’s get on with it yeah?” Sharpay growled. She spun the bottle. It landed on Chad. She grinned evilly.

“I dare you to strip Taylor to her knickers.”

The game continued on, until everyone was sat there in their underwear. It bothered all the girls but Gabriella, who was used to having people stare. The boys looked a little uncomfortable, which made her laugh. By the time they were finished playing, it was 2am.

“Let’s watch a movie!” Sharpay said excitedly.

They all settled down to watch Hairspray (most people seem to include it in their stories, so I guess everyone has seen it.). Gabriella sat on Troy’s lap again, her head resting on his shoulder. She soon shifted herself so her head was balanced on Troy’s lap. Troy looked down on her and smiled. He thought she was amazingly beautiful, and he was memorized by the sparkling brown eyes that held so much emotion and life. He yearned to find out everything about her, to know what gave her such a passion for life and love of everything.

“Troy?” Gabriella said quietly, bringing Troy out of his thoughts.

“Yeah?”

“Is Chad your best friend?” He didn’t understand why she asked.

“I guess so.”

“Oh, okay.” She turned back to the screen, and he knew she was upset.

“No, what’s wrong?” She turned to look at him, her face showing how sad she was.

“It’s just… I’ve never had a best friend.” She sighed.

“I can be your best friend if you like.” Troy said, and Gabriella’s face instantly lit up, a huge smile on her face.

“Really?” He nodded, and she leaned up and hugged him.

“Thank you.” she whispered to him, before laying back down. She soon fell asleep on his lap, and he just sat there watching her, stroking her hair. He loved the feel of her hair between his fingers. It was so soft. He sighed. She was perfect.


After that night, Troy and Gabriella were inseparable. They did everything together, walk to and from school, sit together in class, go to the park every night… Just everything. They both changed too. Gabriella stopped flirting with other guys, she ditched the mini skirts for more suitable wear. They actually had a bonfire, burning every piece of ‘slutty’ clothing she had. She and Troy then went out and bought a whole new wardrobe; flip-flops and pumps instead of heels, vest tops, shirts and jackets instead of boob tubes or shirts 2 sizes to small, jeans instead of skirts. She actually made new friends, she even managed to get along with Sharpay. Troy change too. Instead of hitting on girls, he pushed them off, he stopped drinking so much, and worked harder in class. All because of Gabriella. Every day he fell harder. He hated that he loved her, but he couldn’t stop himself. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months for the pair, as they learned everything about one other, and spent all their free time together. That was, until that dreaded day.

Troy noticed that Gabriella wasn’t her usual bubbly self. She was quiet, and there was no shine to her, her eyes were glazed over and showed no emotion. She pushed off any questions Troy asked, saying ‘nothing’ and she didn’t link arms with him, or hug anyone. Which was strange, as she always hugged her friends.

“Brie, tell me what’s wrong! Please!” Troy pleaded. She sighed.

“Troy stop asking me that I’ve told you-”

“No Brie, you haven’t. Your not yourself today. I know something’s wrong. I thought we promised, no secrets.”

“ Fine!” Gabriella said angrily. She was never angry, so she scared Troy. “My mother has just told me she’s being transferred again. To New York!” Tear’s filled her eyes, and her voice fell to a whisper, “She broke her promise to me Troy. Now I’m gonna have to leave behind everything. The only place I’ve ever been able to make friends. I’m gonna have to leave you Troy. It’s not fair!” Tears cascaded down her face, and Troy held her letting her cry.

“Come on Brie, everything is going to be okay.”

“No it’s not! I’m never gonna see any of you again! I don’t want to go!”

“Don’t worry! I will come see you every vacation, or you can come back here!” Troy tried to come up with a solution.

“That’s not enough Troy. I don’t wanna go from every day to every vacation.” She looked up from his chest. They both knew she was right.

“We’ll find a way, I know we will.” and he sat there, stroking her hair, as two hearts broke into tiny pieces.
