She Could Be
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Summary: Ever since they were young, Gabriella was considered 'one of the guys'. It's their senior year and she hasn't had her first kiss, boyfriend, or hasn't gone to prom yet. What happens when Troy, Chad, and Zeke help her get those? R&R! TxG
Disclaimer: I do not own this. Nor will I ever. Or at least I don't think I will.
Troy and Gabriella were friends since they were in their diapers. They were inseparable. Being that said, Gabriella hung out with Troy and his friends, Zeke and Chad, because she wasn't very good at making her own. She was too shy to do so.
Flashback
Five year old Troy dragged Gabriella to the swings to introduce her to his friends. "This is Gabriella. Let's play with her."
"But she's a girl!" Chad waved his hand in front of his nose as if saying she stunk.
Troy shook his head, "But she's a cool one!"
Gabriella waved at them and Zeke nodded, "Yeah, she's cool."
End Flashback
Having her circle of friends mostly consisting of boys, she never got around to do most of the 'girly' things in life. Her life was full of sports, video games, eating food, and such things as those.
When most girls were asking for a new doll, Gabriella was asking for a basketball. Others may have asked for a new pair of heels, Gabriella, on the other hand, would have asked for a new pair of cleats. Being on the boy-ish side of life never really seemed to bother her. As long as she had her boys: Troy, Chad, and Zeke, she was fine. Sure, girls would make fun of her or tease her and guys wouldn't treat her like they did with the 'pretty' girls, but she always tried her best not to care.
Flashback (Middle school)
Eighth grade Gabriella ran down the foot ball field hoping to get a touch down.
"Go G! Go!" Chad cheered her on as she continued running as fast as she could. Once she made it to the end, the cheerleaders screeched in fear. "Ew! It's mantez!" The blond said with disgust. The brunette whispered loudly, "I heard she's a lesbian."
Gabriella glared and threw the football on the grass and ran to tackle her causing them to scream more. Troy and Zeke grabbed her arms and stopped her. "You don't needa listen to them." Troy said trying to calm her down.
"Yeah," She nodded slowly, "You're right." Gabriella glared at the girls again, "Besides," She yelled so they could hear, "That's the worst 'insulting' name ever!" She used quotes and the guys laughed.
Chad patted her back, "Good job! They're just jealous because they can't score a killer touch down!"
They all cheered and Gabriella shrugged it off. When in reality it still bothered her a little that they called those things.
End Flashback
Gabriella was actually very beautiful. She had a natural glow to her face and her beauty was that of simplicity. Despite her athleticism, she had curves of a woman. (A/N: OMG. THAT WAS DUMB OF ME TO SAY :D.) She was a petite brunette that had immaculate, tan skin, chocolate brown eyes, and a contagious laugh and smile. No one seemed to notice that though. Only the parents of the four friends discussed that topic.
Gabriella never had a boyfriend, her first kiss, a slow dance, nothing. Those would all go back to her not going to a prom or dance of some sort. Of course her boys would invite her, but she knew it wasn't her thing. Or that's what she told herself.
Now starting her senior year of high school, she was still that way. She is still considered one of the boys, not experiencing the first kiss, boyfriend, date, nothing. That was a little disappointing because Chad, Troy, and Zeke experienced those already, well of course in their case, they had girlfriends.
"You suck Zeke!" Gabriella pushed Zeke and his controller slightly while still paying attention to the screen. Chad was stretched out on the couch lazily with Troy on the opposite couch watching the screen and munching on the chips.
It was the weekend and the four of them were hanging out in Troy's house. The moms were chatting outside at the table while the dads were talking and barbequing.
With the Moms
"Don't you ever wonder if Gabriella wants to do girl things?" Lucille, Troy's mom asked Anna, Gabriella's mom.
Anna nodded and frowned, "I know she wants to. I don't think she's meant to be 'one of the boys'." She mimicked Gabriella and Christina, Zeke's mom agreed.
"There's something about her, you know? It just makes her different."
"Their first dance of the year is coming up and I don't know about you ladies, but I think it's about time little Gabi has her girl time." Tiffany, Chad's mom suggested. All the moms thought it was a great idea and rushed to tell the four children their idea.
"What?!" Gabriella screamed.
The guys' eyes were wide open with raised eye brows. All were shocked about the idea of their moms wanting them to help Gabriella do girl things. They wanted them to help her refrain from doing un-lady like things and help her get her first boyfriend, kiss, and go to the dance.
"Mom, are you not pleased with me? Do you not like me the way I am? I know God loves me!" Gabriella said trying to make her mother feel guilty and the mothers gave each other looks.
"Gabriella," Anna looked at the boys, "Boys, we will compromise."
"Go on…" Gabriella motioned her.
Lucille took over, "Well, we know Gabriella is a beautiful woman, but we need that to be known to everyone. So…"
Troy asked, "So?"
"So…" Tiffany continued, "If you guys can help Gabriella get these items cleared off the checklist," She handed them a piece of paper with a list with the mothers' hand writing on it. "You guys have no chores and…" She looked at the moms for help.
Christina said, "And a surprise. So are you guys willing to do so?"
Gabriella frowned, "Why are you trying to change me?"
"We're not trying to change you, honey." Christina told her, "We just figured it would be a good experience to have before you go to college."
Gabriella looked back at the guys and they all shrugged. "Would you guys help me?" She asked them.
"Anything for you, Gabriella." Chad said making Gabriella her smile as he extended his arm. She quickly responded and placed her hand on top of his.
Troy nodded, "Me too," and placed his hand on top of hers.
"I'm down." Zeke put his on top and they all pulled their arms up. (A/n: you know what teams do like when you cheer. Or after you have a team huddle or time out.)
"Well, let's get started." Troy shrugged and they all walked to Gabriella's house after saying goodbye to their parents.
A/N: REVIEW PLEASE! Tell me what you think. You know, if I should continue and such. :) Thanks! If you wanted to know, this will be a Troyella!
