Double Lives and a Secret

Hey! I'm Skylar

Gabriella's POV

Troy and I stepped off the bus and Mami came rushing at me, tackling me into a hug. I am a mummy's girl, so I hugged her back, I was excited to see her.

"Oh baby. I'm so sorry how we left things here when we left, my mija G. I'm so sorry." She cried out to me, her arms still wrapped around me in a motherly hug.

"It's ok Mami, I forgive you. It's partly my fault as well." I answered back and her eyes widened.

"No no no, no it's not. It's my fault I should've told you long ago. Not your fault." She argued back, not satisfied with the thought that I was still feeling guilty. But I've gotta take some of the blame, don't I?

"But Mami, I didn't give you or Papa a chance to explain. So it's a little bit my fault." I argued back, strongly defending my point.

"Fine, than we're even. I love you," Mami whispered to me with a lovingly tone.

"I love you too Mami," I whispered back, glad to have my mother back in her usual place and with me.

"Ella-Bella come over here, Grandpa wants to talk to you," my dad called out to me and I nodded, squeezing Troys hand and walking over to my ageing grandfather, who still works on a farm for heaven sakes.

"Gabriella, belle fille, comment allez-vous? [Gabriella, beautiful girl, how are you?]" My grandfather asked me, he's French and is an amazing man.

"Grand-père, je vais bien et toi? [Granddad, I am good and you?]" I answered him, speaking fluent French, my mother is French and this is her father, my grandmother passed a few years back.

"Me too, belle fille. Come see Sky?" My grandfather didn't speak much English, so he was doing well for that.

"Of course, grand-père," I agreed with him and was dragged over to meet a girl in a white shirt, overalls and old torn up converses with a puppy at her side. She was a very pretty girl and she had a big shiny smile on her face, she was familiar to me in the deep depths of my very forgetful memory.

Skylar Juiliette Montez. My younger sister.

"Howdy sister!" Skylar bursted out, living on a farm has done good for her, I think.

"Hi Skylar, how are you?" I awkwardly asked, I mean we hadn't seen each other in so long and I was so confused.

"I am good! Now what's with this awkwardness? I'm just your sister!" She had read my mind, I laughed loudly and wrapped her in a hug. "Tell me about yourself, seeing as I haven't seen you in so long."

"Well I'm a model if you didn't know, a YouTube sensations and a soccer player. I'm dating my brothers best friend and I love him so much, he's the best guy ever. I've been travelling around Mexico to find our siblings and we are about half way. I used to dress as a nerd and go undercover at school so that no one would find out I was a model, but I couldn't take the bullying anymore so we told everyone. I love shopping, like am addicted. I've got 5 tattoos and a lot of piercings. And yeah I guess that's me, oh and I've got 4 dogs! Now what about you?" I told her most of the important things about me, at least I think those are.

"She's also the most beautiful girl in the world!" I heard someone say and familiar arms wrap around me, Troy.

"Eek! Troysie!" I giggled out while Troy picked me up, cuddling me in the air, before me placing me back down with his arms wrapped around my waist protectively.

"Omg! You guys are so cute!" I heard Skylar squeal out next to me and I blushed, hiding my face in Troys neck. "Hi I'm Skylar Juiliette Montez and you must be Troy Bolton, Cody's best friend and Gabriella's boyfriend. How do you do?"

"Uhh, yeah I'm Troy Bolton, umm do you always speak like that?" Troy asked and I laughed, poking his chest and than kissing it better.

"Well of course not, I grew up on a farm for a reason. It'll take some time to get used to the city though. Care to show me some other 14 year olds? I gotta talk to someone my age." She spoke in a hurried tone and I saw her eyeing Asher off from a distance, Ryder's younger brother, the one who had his 2 friends that were together.

I smirked back at her, "of course I will," my wink gave me away because she blushed heavily.

"Don't do that Belle, I haven't been in contact with boys my age for ages because of the all girl school I went to. It's not my fault he's hot for a 14 year old!" She whined back at me and I laughed, she was a lot like me and I only just found this out.

"Oi Asher! Come here!" I yelled out to the forever bored 14 year old who went through so much shit with his parents passing away in front of his eyes and the depression that followed. He looked over at me, dull eyes and a blank look on his face, his eyes shifted over to Skylar and they widened before running over her, oh god he's checking her out. Asher came running over, his brown hair falling in front of his eyes.

He ran over and stopped, "what did you want Gabi?" He spoke, but keeping his eyes locked on my sister who stood there with a blush creeping up her neck.

"Well first, I'd like you to stop eye-raping my sister,"I said giving him a pointed look and he blushed, hiding behind his fringe, "and second, I'd like you to show Skylar around. You got that? Buddy?" I told him but his eyes didn't move, so I resorted to clicking my hand in front of his face.

"Yeah I got that, let's go my-lady," Asher said in a weird British tone, before taking her hand and leading her away, towards Max and Chantal.

"Well that was weird, but now I get to have time with my favourite girl." Troy whispered and than kissed my cheek from behind me and yaya I get to spend time with him, meaning let's go make out in my room...
