Chapter 1- Typical School Morning

It was 7 A.M. when Troy Bolton's alarm clock went off. He instantly sat up and turned it off, remembering that it was Friday and he had a date with Gabriella that night. He pounced out of bed and hurriedly rummaged through his dresser trying to find something to wear. Finally, he picked out a red polo shirt and a pair of jeans. 'This will do,' he thought as he rushed down the stairs and quickly ate a bowl of cereal.

"Hi sweetie," Mrs. Bolton said, entering the room in her bathrobe and slippers.

"Hey Mom," said Troy.

"Your father has gone to the school early for a meeting, so you'll have to walk to school today if that's ok."

"No problem," Troy said.

"How's Gabriella?"

"Good, she and I have a date tonight."

"That's great honey. I hope you two have a good time."

"Thanks Mom. I know we'll have a good time. I'm taking her to her favorite restaurant. It's a surprise."

"Ah, she'll like that," said Mrs. Bolton. Troy finished up his breakfast, put on his shoes, and grabbed his backpack.

"Bye Mom!" he yelled to her.

"Bye Troy! Make good choices!" she yelled back. Troy rolled his eyes; his mother was always saying that. He opened the door and walked out, thinking about the day ahead.

Gabriella's POV

I had just finished eating my breakfast when I saw Troy walking down the street. Sometimes I forgot that he only lived a few blocks away. I decided to walk to school too. I grabbed my backpack, slipped my flip flops on, said good-bye to my mom, and headed out the door.

"Troy!" I yelled after him. He turned around and waved to me. I quickly ran up and gave him a hug.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey," he said.

"Are you ready for our date tonight?" I asked.

"You bet," he said, putting his arm around my shoulder.

When we got to the school, the bell had just rung so we had to get to class right away. Troy gave me a quick hug and told me that he would see me next period. I walked off to my first class, Chemistry. I walked in, said hello to Taylor, and sat down next to her.

"Tonight is going to be so romantic!" I said enthusiastically.

"I can't believe today is your two month anniversary!" exclaimed Taylor.

"Neither can I!"

"You two are so meant to be!" said Taylor.

"Thanks, you're such a good friend," I said.

"I know," said Taylor. We both giggled.

"Gabriella! Taylor! No talking!" said Mrs. Cloud.

"Sorry ma'am," I said quietly. I quickly copied down the day's notes, trying to keep my mind on my work instead of my date with Troy. But somehow my mind kept wandering back to that subject. When the bell finally rang I was anxious to see Troy again so I walked swiftly to my next class, hoping that the day would pass without delay.
