June 10th-2:40 PM-Airport

Gabriella breathed in the scent of salt water and felt warmth all around her. The late afternoon sun had her clothing sticking to her back. Her mother was shooing her into a black limo with a older attractive man behind them. She glanced around once and caught glimpse of the colorful plants and blue sky before sitting into the big black cushion seat.

"So, Maria, Gabriella, this is just the main town we are going through right here." The man said pointing out the window to his left.

"Is it always this nice out, Mr. Danforth?" Maria asked.

"Yes, Mr. Bolton picked the best place to make this resort, sure that it would have rare rainy days." he said with a grin of his shiny white teeth, "And please, Maria, call me Vincent."

Gabriella rolled her eyes at his reckless flirting. Didn't he know that she was a widow? I mean they only lost her husband about 7 months ago. God.

He was ill. Carlos Montez. He was ill for a long time. They figured it come about eventually. But it still hurt. She'd missed him. He was one reason they are moving to this resort. Besides the fact her mother loved the job here but her father would have wanted her to do so. To move on and do what she believed in. Her mother believed in Lava Springs Resort. Whatever, was Gabriella's response. She didn't want to leave. But after looking at the brochure and figuring if her mother was happy, she was too. Plus, to get away from the house in New York was for the best. Instead of walking around like ghosts they could finally live in a new place far from the memories of her father to haunt them.

So here they were. Lava Springs Resort, a.k.a. Paradise.

"Are there any young adults for my daughter here?" Maria questioned while casting a glance at Gabriella who was staring at the window at the beach they were passing.

"Why, yes. Of course. My son, Chad is 17."

"Oh, of course and doesn't Mr. Bolton have a son and a niece and nephew who live at the resort?" She now remembered.

"Yes. Troy, Sharpay and Ryan all live there. They are all 16 and 17."

Maria nodded, "You hear that, Brie?"

"Yeah, yeah."

A few minutes passed as Vincent pointed out the main features of the Resort.

A night club, casino, a few restaurants, the hotel, shops but there was so much more not even in view.

"Here, we are. The employee's apartments." he announced as the limo stopped.

The three of them stepped out of the limo and Maria and Gabriella glanced up.

"Wow, all employee's live here?" Maria inquired, turning her head towards Vincent.

"Mostly upper level employees." he shrugged and they entered the building.

Taking a ride up to the 2nd floor they eventually reached a door to a huge apartment.

Stepping into there new home they saw the wonderful furnitures and main living room with a balcony.

Gabriella wondered around the apartment seeing she must have the smaller room with white color scheme and a small balcony. Which she instantly walked out to. Taking in the scent of salt water once again she closed her eyes and listened to the ocean crash. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

June 10th-7:04-Gabriella's NEW bedroom

Gabriella was a simple girl. Wasn't very 'Vegas' as she'd put it. She didn't like sequins or glitter. No sparkle was needed in her wardrobe. So when her mother asked her, well begged her to go with her to her new boss's home for a big cocktail party. She had no idea that a sparkle princess would be there to simply judge everything she did and most importantly wore.

Sure she owned a lot of clothes. And a lot of dresses. But nothing like Sharpay's, NOTHING like them. When she showed up to the party she wore a black v-neck dress. Simple. Nothing to big. But little did she know, she was supposed to impress many of the people who lived in this Paradise.

She arrived at her mother's side. Oh and Vincent, who kindy offered to take Maria. Having no respect for Gabriella at all. Not like she minded. Whatever he was a jerk.

They arrived, she was wearing that simple black dress with a long necklace and heels. She felt so under dressed compared to the glamorous rich people in the room. She was introduced to Mr. Bolton. He seemed, well nice. But he intimidated her. His cold, blue eyes. Whenever he asked a question, she'd simply nod. Afraid of not answering at all. But then, she'd also met Troy. That was the highlight of her night.

It went a little like this.

Mr. Bolton shook Gabriella's hand and saw a male with light brown hair trying to pass them.

"Troy!" Mr. Bolton shouted over the classical music playing in the background.

The male turned and bit his lip, "Yes, dad?"

Jack Bolton beckoned him over, "This is Maria Montez. The new personnel director and this is her daughter, Gabriella."

Troy genuinely smiled at Gabriella and her mother. His blue eyes, wow. They sparkled and his smile. Perfect teeth. He was perfect. Perfect smile, perfect eyes, perfect hair. Gabriella assumed he had the perfect body too.

But, Gabriella felt somewhat invaded as he looked her up and down as he eyes lingered on her body, taking in her entire appearance.

"Troy, would you please show Gabriella around the resort?" Bolton more demanded than asked

"Dad, I can't. I've got plans. I'm sorry. It was nice to meet you though, Ms. Montez." he said with that charming smile, "Gabriella." he nodded. God the way he said her name.

"Troy..." his father growled but Troy was long gone.

"I can just look around by myself." Gabriella said with a small grin.

"Nonsense. Sharpay, Ryan!" He said whipping his head around to find his god children.

"Yes, uncle?" Ryan asked.

Ryan, strange kid. He stood in a hat with a shirt matching his sisters sparkly, gold dress.

He wore nice slacks and had light blonde hair with fair skin. He surely didn't look very straight. And he didn't seem to talk much, unless his sister had talked to him.

Sharpay...evil. She wore a gold dress with red shoes and ever glint of evil in her eyes seemed only made out for Gabriella.

"Would you please take Gabriella around the resort?"

They both nodded but Sharpay still glared back at Gabriella while they turned and walked out the door.

Unsure if to follow she shrugged and kissed her mothers cheek and quickly ran to catch up.

"This is sure going to fun..." Gabriella murmered sarcastically to herself.
