New York City is a city where no one sleeps, well as everyone says. But have you ever thought of one person out of a trillion had a story to tell. A little story, just a small one. I don't think you would listen unless it was about Zac Efron taking off his shirt revealing his abs or Robert Pattison deciding to show up at the Grammy's and make out with Kristen Stewart. In the middle of New York is a girl, well a young lady actually. Short brown hair, hazel eyes, glasses, kind of short but tall. Well not everyone knows Gabriella Montez. She's a 20 year old college student. She works as a waitress at an Italian restaurant. Gabriella experienced a lot of well let's just say she struggled a lot as a teenager. Now maybe its best that we hear her story. Quiet down, turn off the television and let's read for a little bit.


The birds chirped as the sunlight hit my face. I groaned a little. I rubbed my eyes and looked at my clock. It was only seven in the morning. Throwing my pillow on face, I heard a scream and traveling to my room. My roommate, Sharpay Evans, oh the joy I wondered, was screaming into my room. She climbed on my bed and started jumping. I groaned again and completely covered my face.

"Wake up sleepy head" She said as she jumped on her bed.

Gabriella groaned. "Sharpay, its seven'o clock in the morning," She said tired, "What do you want from my life?"

"Looks like someone is actually like a lazy ass today"

"Shut up Sharpay" Gabriella told her.

Sharpay Evans was the same age as Gabriella but she was still younger. She was a very unique girl, she went to an entertaining arts college, wait um, oh yeah Juilliard. She was rich when she was in high school which her and Gabriella attended, East High, but Sharpay moved on from the fortune and decided to live in a loft apartment with her best friend in New York City. Now both Gabriella and Sharpay didn't have boyfriends, they didn't care about boys at this time. They cared about their apartment, work and college.

Sharpay stopped jumping and she landed on Gabriella's bed. She sat next to her and started braiding her hair. Then the buzzer buzzed. Someone was at the door. Sharpay excitedly ran to it.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"Zeke Baylor" The man replied.

Sharpay grew a huge smile on her face. She quickly opened the door, revealing her one and only true love from high school. She jumped on him and she kissed him passionate. Before you knew it, they were having a make out session in the foyer of Gabriella and Sharpay's loft apartment.

Gabriella's POV

I slowly got off my bed. I stumbled at first but caught myself into action. I walked downed the stairs and into the living room and out to the door. My eyes were disgusted, Sharpay was makig out with a guy. But wait this isn't a guy, it's Zeke Baylor from high school. I smiled a little. But I frowned as I thought of East High and my fellow classmates. But one person was in my head. One special person, blue eyes, light brown hair, and the cutest smile. My ex high school sweetheart, Troy Bolton. I thought about him and now he's a famous basketball player or just on the NBA. I sighed and headed for the bathroom. I missed him. I wished that I can just see him one more time. Then as I walked up the stairs, a strong breeze came in and knocked down a flower pot.

"Shit!" I yelled as I was the mess. I closed the window tight. "Sharpay, bring me the broom" I yelled. A few minutes later, Sharpay finally brings the broom.

"Por fin!" I said sighing in relief.

"Sorry, Zeke went overboard on me" She said apologizing.

"It sounds like if you just lost your virginity" I said as I smirked.

She gasped. "I would…" She said as I cut her off.

"Yes you would lose it, don't lie" I corrected her.

She rolled her eyes and went to her room. I cleaned up the mess and went to tidy up. I got ready and knocked on Sharpay's door.

"Shar I'm going to work" I yelled across her door fighting against the music she was playing.

"Alright" She yelled back.

I left my apartment and when I hit the streets, I whistled and got a taxi. Then before I knew it, it got cloudy and rain was falling. I forgot my umbrella at home. The taxi stopped, I was in front of the restaurant I worked in. I payed the driver and got out quickly so I won't get soaked. I walked into the restaurant and saw it wasn't packed as much. I smiled at some of the customers and went to work. As I was working for hours, I had a customer's order in my hands but when I was giving him his order, I saw a miracle. The biggest one ever. I smiled to myself. I walked to that table.

"Welcome to Ill Ti, may I take your order" I asked him.

He looked up at me and smiled. I got teary but I smiled.

"I'll give you an employee discount, just for you" I told him.

"Why thank you Gabs" He said.

Troy Bolton was back. My wish came true. I never thought this would happen to me in my life but I liked it. As soon as he ordered, I went to the kitchen and placed his order to the chef. He got his order about 5 minutes later. I gave him his order and decided to take a break. I sat next to him.

"How are you?" I asked him.

"Good, what about you?"

"The same, so um looks like you won your last game, congratulations" I told him.

He smiled. "Thanks" he said.

A few minutes later, we were talking and making memories but then it was closing time. I closed the restaurant and he walked me home. As soon as we got there, I leaned in and he did too. Our lips met ever since. It was a nice tender kiss. I pulled away and smiled.

"I'll call you tomorrow" I said.

"Ok" He said as he smiled and watched me step into my apartment.

It was the best night of my life. I walked into my apartment. I locked the door and took off my jacket. It was silent. I walked around and saw no Sharpay. She never goes out when I'm working. I walked upstairs and into her room. She wasn't there but then I saw something in her bathroom. I walked in and screamed. Sharpay was lying on the floor, bleeding everywhere.
