Background info for My Brothers Brother

I, Gabriella Montez, was born in Albuquerque, NM, and am 17 years old. My mother Marie Montez was married to my father Matthew Montez at the age of 22. She had three best Friends Samantha Evans, Rachel McKessie, and Michelle Stewart who all had children in the same year. Sharpay came first then Taylor and Miley on the same day a few days after and then Me a few days after that. Yes im the youngest and they don't let me live it down! Anyway growing up are mothers were with each other constantly and so were we. We became best friends and were doing great until my father died when I was 9 from cancer (may he rest in piece) and my mother had to move a month later for her job (she worked in fashion and one day hoped to be a designer). We ended up moving too New York. A year later my mom finally got her own line called M&M designs and it went big! I ended up going to a regular middle school although it was weird living in a city I mean Albuquerque was the type of place where you could ride your bike and stuff or walk down the street to the park without worry of danger and where everyone knew you because the community was small. It was quiet, safe, and very homey which is why i did and always will love it!

That was then and this is now:

Parents:

My mom met Chad's dad at one of her famous people party's or something (Chad's dad owns some famous basketball team) and they hit it off immediately I guess you could say love at first sight. Anyways 3 months later they got married and although Johns could never be my dad it was kind of like he knew that and respected it! He never once tried to take his place but tried to be more as my friend! and it worked we have a pretty good relationship and i don't love him like my father but i still love him. Oddly enough even thought chad and his dad live in Albuquerque we never once went back there they always come up to New York and the weeding was family only and in Hawaii.

School:

Well im now in some preppy all girls' private high school (which sucks) and my mom and john have been married for 4 months we just spent two of them in the Bahamas with him and chad for the summer. It's Friday and my junior year, a living hell, starts on Monday. Ahhh I seriously think it should be across the goddamn law to have to go to school without boys!!

Friends:

My friends are kinda interesting there's –

Lacy & Britt- I met them when I first started going to St. Kathryn's and they're pretty cool. But ill never be as close to them as I am with

Sharpay & Taylor & Miley - they have been my BFF's since birth! I talk to them every day whether it's by phone, e-mail, IM, or myspace somehow were in communication. Shar, Tay, and Miles were all on the cheer team last year; Shar was captain, and im pretty sure they will be on the team again this year. Sharpay is my Girlie Best Friend and I always go to her for anything between clothes and boys. Taylor is my Smart Best friend I can count on her for anything between school and well boys. Miley is my Silly Best Friend I can count on her for anything between having fun and acting crazy to well once again boys. You see all four of us defiantly have one thing in common and that is our love for boys. All three of them have boyfriends (Who they have all been with anywhere between a year and 2 ½ years) I don't really know their boyfriends and have only heard their names, accept tay wont tell me hers idk why, but I have heard A LOT about them and if I ever meet them will probably know who's who before being introduced.

Chad - he's my brother! Literally! Well stepbrother but if it weren't for a couple of minor differences and dad you would never even guess! We are likethisclose! He's always there when I need him and he's super funny! Half the time it's because he's a little dull and doesn't know what's actually going on but still funny! He's great but he is defiantly my brother he keeps me safe from things, even things i can protect myself from like boys. He's ok but if they ever try to hurt me he says he'll kick their ass, which he could probably do, but would DEFIANTLY get hurt in the process. He has a girlfriend but won't tell me anything about her accept that she's pretty and smart. He loves to play basketball and is apparently on the team. His best friend who he calls his "brother from another mother" is the team's captain apparently he's with his "brother" like all the time they have been best friend's since kindergarten! He has three other close friends that are also on the team but he doesn't really talk about people from his hometown around me! Lets just say he's nothing like my girls!

Boys:

Boys for me is an interesting topic! When i was born i was blessed with natural beauty so i get a lot of guys hitting on me well . . .more like. . . throwing themselves at me! I've had my fair share of boyfriends but after I caught my freshmen year sweetheart, the guy whom I thought I loved, cheating on me with one of my ex. Best friends from St. Kathryn's, I thought that finding the prince charming my dad(may he R.I.P.) told me I would get one day, would be impossible!. Now I still date guys but don't really develop feeling for them because I break it off before it gets to serious, I don't think I can take that pain that I had encountered in my freshmen year ever again and because of that I locked my heart and threw away the key. So far not one boy I've dated has been able to climb up the tower and unlock the door to get back in! Mainly because No boy has been able to find the key . . . yet!

well i gotta go but i'll talk to you later guys. . .
