Chapter 1: Alexander Gabriel Bolton

Troy Bolton was a basketball super star since he was in high school. He lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico when he was in high school and then moved to L.A. after his big break when scouts attended his last game when he was in college. The scouts had offered him to be a new team player for the Los Angeles Lakers, he gladly accepted it. After 5 years of playing basketball for the Lakes, he was like the new Michael Jordan on his state. He was the best basketball player… but then he felt alone after getting tired of fame and paparazzi, having a big house on his own made him feel lonelier.

Troy had woke up early in the morning and jogged about a mile, it was his routine everyday. When he got back he saw his best friend, Gabriella Montez, inside eating.

"Do you ever cook? It's all fruits around here." Gabriella sat on the high stool chair that was just around Troy's kitchen island.

"Good morning to you too, Brie" Troy took off his shirt, exposing his perfect muscular abs.

Gabriella giggled. Gabriella was Troy's best friend since high school. She was very kind, smart, and understandable… but Troy mostly describes her as his most beautiful girl ever, she just giggled at Troy's actions. Gabriella went to Stanford University after high school while Troy went to U of A (University of Albuquerque) to pursue his dreams or we can say his dad's dreams of him becoming a basketball player. Gabriella then worked on writing stories as her job at L.A. then just as Troy was moved there to play basketball, so the two best friends meet again. They had been both single ever since.

"You finished your book?" Troy walked near to her, grabbing his bottle of water on the island. Gabriella was working on a new book, but she can't think of a title… even a plot.

"I haven't even started yet, and you're asking me whether I have finished the book." Gabriella stared at Troy, in his deep blue eyes. She always loved them, how they make her melt. But she always tried to hide it.

"Well, Miss Montez. I can see that."

"Then why are you asking me if you already know, Mr. Bolton?" Gabriella put on an annoyed face.

"Just to see you look like that." Troy walked off to his room.

"Whatever, Troy!" Gabriella shouted after him.

After taking a shower, Troy found Gabriella at his computer typing her story and secretly checking her mail, she was not concentrating on her story.

"You know, you're supposed to be concentrating." Troy said coming behind Gabriella.

Gabriella quickly opened Microsoft Word and turned her head to see a wet head Troy without his shirt on. "Hey, nice abs…"

Troy giggled. "Nice try, but you're not concentrating." He grinned.

"Umm… let me ask you something, what if I'm not here to keep you company… what would you do?" Gabriella was bringing up different conversation topics to take away Troy's thought about her not concentrating… and it actually worked.

"Nothing. Maybe I'm just gonna watch T.V. and die." Troy giggled then he shook his wet hair at Gabriella and droplets of water dropped on his face and on Gabriella's.

Gabriella giggled. "But seriously, Troy. You need someone here to at least keep you company… I'm not always around." Gabriella was now serious.

"Yeah, and like Superman was always." Troy rolled his eyes.

"Please? Try to do something when I'm gone. Don't just lock yourself in this house." Gabriella begged. She pouted at Troy which he could not resist.

"I'll try…" Gabriella was about to shout 'YES!' when she was interrupted by Troy. "… but I'm not saying I will, I just said I'll try. Okay?" Troy faced Gabriella giving her a 'agree with me' look.

"Okay, fine." Gabriella groaned and stood. "I'm going. I'll be late for work, I've just came up with something." Gabriella hugged him and kissed his cheek then she headed for the door.

Before she could get out, Troy shouted. "Can I have another kiss? This time I want somewhere else."

"Goodbye, Troy!" Gabriella shouted back as she went out.

Troy giggled. Troy was thinking about what Gabriella said earlier, about having other company. He had some friends, but they were busy with life itself. He closed his eyes and just thought of something. It might work. Troy thought

Troy woke up early but he didn't jog. He quickly went in the bathroom and took a shower and dressed up. He quickly ate and took off on his black Porsche Carrera GT (picture on my profile). He arrived in front of Los Angeles Orphanage Home Society Inc. at 5455 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90036 (I really looked for an orphanage home at google, the pictures are in my profile). Troy walked in wearing a tux by Louis Vuitton. He came up to the secretary and said his name, not taking his Ray-ban shades off.

"Umm… name?" the secretary had a questioned look on her face and smiled nervously.

Troy leaned closer. "Troy Bolton…" The secretary was about to squeal when Troy covered her mouth. "Shh… keep it low."

The secretary nodded. "umm… umm… just proceed inside, Sir." She pointed at the door.

"Thank you…" Troy took a quick glance on her name tag. "Nicole." Troy walked off and headed inside the door.

When he opened the door he saw tons of kids. An infant to an age of 9-11.

"Umm… Can I help—" The woman was shocked when Troy took off his shades.

"Troy!!" the woman quickly gave Troy a bear hug. "It's been so long. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, Kels." Troy sat on the soft chair next to him. Kelsi was one of Troy's friends back at high school, and she was the girlfriend of one of Troy's teammate at Lakers and when he was in high school, Jason Cross.

"Are you here to see Jason? Or maybe just came to visit? Because Jason's not here… his out with Chad." Kelsi sat on a chair in front of Troy dividing them with a desk in between.

"No…" Kelsi was confused. Then, why would he come here if he doesn't want to see Jason? Kelsi thought. "I want to adopt a child."

Kelsi was surprised hearing Troy saying he wants to adopt a child. Am I really talking to Troy Bolton? Kelsi thought again, her head filled with questions. Kelsi was speechless.

Troy waved one hand in front of her face. "Kelsi? Are you okay?"

Kelsi then broke out. "Are you serious?" Kelsi turned to look at Troy if he was pulling a joke on her.

Troy put on an annoyed face. "She told me that I whenever she's not at my house, I just watch T.V. and do nothing. And she said that she's not always around to keep me company, so basically she said that I need company whenever she's gone."

"Okay… I think she just wants you not to die of boredom." Kelsi joked.

"Ha-ha. Very funny, Kels."

"Here we are. The children's center. Com'on" Kelsi motioned him to go in.

Troy walked in and scanned all the children playing inside. "May I have your attention?" Everyone looked at Kelsi. "Hi, this is Mr. Troy Bolton. And he wants to adopt one of you. So, I say please be at your best behavior or else the naughty one won't get a prize." Kelsi announced as Troy walked to some children that were playing along. "I'll be at the office, Troy" Kelsi called out then she walked out.

Troy had met some children but he only chose one. Troy walked out with the one he chose and entered Kelsi's office.

"So, I see. You chose him." Kelsi smiled at the young boy.

"Yeah… can I take him home now?"

"You just have to sign here and here." Kelsi pointed out and Troy signed them.

"Thanks, Kels." Troy stood up and grabbed the tiny fist of the young boy beside him.

"Anytime, Troy. Say hi to Gabi for me please."

"Sure. Bye." Troy walked out and the young boy waved goodbye to Kelsi.

When Troy got home, he found Gabriella in front of the computer typing her story. He came behind her and used the young boy's tiny hands to cover her eyes. The young boy just giggled.

"Guess who?" Troy whispered in her ears.

"Troy? These aren't your hands their too tiny." Troy turned the chair around. Gabriella found a young boy staring at her.

He had sandy hair, a tan skin, chocolate eyes, and he was about 6 years old. He grabbed onto Troy's hand, scared that Gabriella might hurt him. Troy giggled.

"Hi…" Gabriella kneeled down as same height as him and hugged him, making him feel that she wasn't gonna hurt him. Then they pulled away and Gabriella stood to face Troy. "Who's this Troy?"

"Gabi, this is Alexander Gabriel Bolton, Gabe is his nickname and his 6 years old." Troy carried Gabe in his arms. "… and I'm his new daddy." Troy grinned.
