My Stories:

Can't Just Be Friends

“But if I have to give you reasons why I want to be with you… I’d stay out here all night.”

Banner

After the Lava Springs talent show, Gabriella didn't take Troy back. Now, starting their senior year, they both still have feelings for each other. But it's not so easy when others around fight to drive them apart. Will they be able to put the past behind them and find love?

Time Changes Everything

“You’re scared because for the first time you want me just as bad as I want you.”

He was the golden boy of East High. With his charm and cockiness, he seduced every girl he could lay his hands on and rejected the idea of ever falling in love. She was the queen of West High, and everyone adored her for her loving and affectionate personality. They had been best friends for years before entering high school, which a single event drove them into hatred. After four years of pure repulsion, they are both hired at the same country club, Lava Springs, for a summer job. Despite the tension that had been fueled for so long, they attempt to form a friendship and struggle with the feelings of anything more. Gabriella becomes pulled to accept that some things never truly fade, and yet time changes everything.

Don't Stop the Feeling

“You’re different then anyone I’ve ever met... and I like it.”

Banner

Gabriella Montez lives for the pitter patter of feet across the stage. After her mother moves to Albuquerque, she's enrolled into East High which sends their dance team to Mexico for a summer camp. However, no one ever informs her that the basketball team also attends camp in the same town. She falls for the basketball captain, but finds that love is a lot like dancing... one false step and you could end up with a fractured leg, or heart.

Never Let Go

“I have you for everything.”

They had been best friends since before they could walk. They had been there for each other for everything, attached at the hip and one was not found without the other. Now in high school, Gabriella needs the strength of the man she loves to help her in recovery of an illness that threatened her the year before. But when she comes back from vacation over the summer to find Troy with a new girl in his life, Gabriella finds it difficult to share her best friend at a time she needs him most.

Forgetting to Love

“You won’t drag me anywhere I haven’t been before.”

Their kisses were to remove the pain. Their touches were meant to forget. Their embraces held the sole purpose of a drug to numb the memories. They both came with baggage, hidden demons in their past that were hidden from the rest of the world. A promise was stated that there would be no strings attached, that their relationship would be nothing more than physical. But with a passion that brews stronger than the horrors of their childhood, they find themselves feeling something they had never experienced before... love.

Lightning Only Strikes Once

Banner

"I'm afraid he'll steal you away...I can't lose you Gabriella... I won't."

Love is difficult enough without having two of the closest people fall in love with one person. After moving with her father in a town flooded by water, Gabriella captures the heart of both the football and basketball captain. She juggles with spending time with her best friend and the boy she's falling in love with, and quickly discovers that she can't have only one in her life. But the boys don't seem to agree and compete for her attention. Can Gabriella keep the best of both worlds?

With My Life

Banner

“I’ve never been afraid of dying Gabriella. But you’ve now given me a reason to be terrified.”

Troy Bolton's job was to protect Gabriella Montez from harm. But after a night that goes horribly wrong leads to him taking her into hiding, Troy tries to keep his hidden feelings away from his job. But chemistry reacts and Troy finds that he is not only protecting her life from distruction, but also his heart.

Protecting Fate

“When I’m with you… I don’t feel like a Bolton. Hell, I forget my last name. You make me feel like Troy. Not the basketball captain, not Aaron’s brother, not Jack’s son… just Troy…” Again, his eyes locked on hers, passion spilling out with each tear that trickled down his face. “And that’s always been enough…”

They were modern day Romeo and Juliet. With secrets and lies that revolve their relationship, the junior class at East High hides the lovers from their families' raging war that spilled into the halls of the school. When the risk of exposure is too great, they sacrifice anything and everything to keep the other safe. But love is stronger than any hate, and they soon discover that some things are worth fighting for, even when it's a matter of bloodline.

Troy's Tattoo

Fourteen Minutes

Coming Soon...

Taylor enclosed her palm around Gabriella’s wrist, almost inducing a burning sensation on the division of her lemon-colored long sleeve and the silky surface of her skin. “Gabriella,” she boldly stated her name with such a defiance and conviction that the aspiring journalist had no choice but to remain frozen in her tanned seat. The power of her stare was so overwhelming that the bustling of the busy coffee shop was silenced under her wake. “Don’t make assumptions; he’s not a bad person.”

The midnight coils that twirled down her back flipped as she shook her head, ignoring the café orders that faded in the background. “I never said he was.” She shifted her line of vision away from the persuading eyes.

“I’ve known you since we were fourteen Gabs, I know that look,” The curve of Taylor’s bob sashaying back and forth. “You don’t understand. Troy, he has a past.”

A spark ignited deep within her heart as she slowly raised her gaze to once again meet her best friend. It was a tiny flame of curiosity that began to flicker with longing. A brew of inquisitions began to swell beneath the walls of her stomach, the natural reaction that drove her towards the profession of her dreams. Gabriella swallowed and stiffly straightened her back on the decorative rungs of her chair. “What do you mean, he has a past?”

Sharpay rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue annoying. “It’s not rocket science, Montez. She means exactly that.”

The NYU graduate glared at the blonde before turning back to Gabriella. “He has a few,” Taylor hesitated and traced the outside of the now empty dish with her nail. “Skeletons in his closet.”

She cocked an eyebrow, excitement of the mystery hammering wildly in her chest. “Skeletons?” Gabriella questioned skeptically. “What? Is he like, some psychopathic murderer or something?” The joke was only barely out of humor, for her forced laugh was derived from her nerves.

Taylor glanced across the dark surface of the table and caught Sharpay’s wary eye. The exchange did not go unnoticed by the odd one out and Gabriella’s heart jumped into her throat at the conformation of disaster in his previous life. Sharpay opened her mouth, and for the first time since she had met the obnoxious drama queen, the star was at a loss for words.

“No,” Taylor replied slowly. “He’s not.”

She chewed on her bottom lip like an addict about to receive a whiff of heroine. “Then, what happened?”

For a brief moment, she thought they were going to crack. Taylor and Sharpay both stared at each other, silently discussing whether the information was allowed to be revealed. Gabriella couldn’t feel her fingers as they flexed beneath the table, fidgeting with restlessness and anticipation. Her jean clad legs were jittering, and it took all her strength to remain seated in the stillness.

Finally, Sharpay crashed her bony back against the seat once again and shrugged. “I’m not gonna waste my time talking about fucking Troy Bolton. If you wanna know, pester him.” She snatched her frappachino once again and sucked violently; leaving it blatantly obvious that Troy would not reveal to her what the secret was but escaped trouble none the less.

But she would not quit.

The wheels in her brain were cranking at cosmic speeds that almost blew off the top of her skull. The truth was Gabriella’s obsession. The day she first scurried around with her Princess notebook at five years old was the same day that she dedicated her entire life to testing the validity of every situation thrown at her. She drank in the facts like nourishment and absorbed every bit of information -useless or not- like a detective on a murder scene. The Tribute accepted her internship as a reporter because of her passion, her determination never to leave the mystery unsolved.

Whatever the skeleton in Troy’s closet was, Gabriella would stop at nothing to discover exactly what was rotting in his past. Count on it.
