It's Not That Easy
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story
Summary: The gang are now 20..Troy and Gabriella split up about a year after they finished school. What happens if they meet again? Yeah, I know, it's unoriginal, but I thought I would try it out. Review please!
A/N: I don't really know where I'm going with this story just yet. So suggestions are always welcome. Please review! Also, this is NOT a sequel to my first story, 'The Hats Go Up.' I know I said I was thinking of doing a sequel, but I'm not going to do it just yet. I'm going to wait for a few more reviews on that story first.
Gabriella Montez was sitting on Taylor's bed, looking through her photo album. Gabriella and Taylor had been best friends since Gabriella moved to East High at the start of their Senior year. They were both 20, and Gabriella had lost touch with most of the gang from East High. She only stayed in touch with Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, and Occasionally Ryan. Gabriella came to a picture of the gang, which was taken on their graduation day. It had all of them in - Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, Jason, Zeke and...she stared at the face for quite some time..Troy. By this time, Gabriella's eyes were full of tears. She still couldn't handle the fact that they had both broken it off, as they had gone to different colleges. Troy had been Gabriella's first, and only love. Taylor noticed this. She sat next to her.
"Gabi, what's up?"
"Look at this picture" Gabriella said, thrusting the album into Taylor's lap
Taylor looked at it..She saw the picture, but couldn't understand why Gabriella was upset by it. "What's wrong with it?" She asked.
"Look at the person on the right of me." Gabriella answered..tears now gently flowing down her cheeks.
"T..Troy." Taylor now knew why. She knew that Gabriella missed him, but she didn't know she missed him this much. By this time, Gabriella had her head on Taylor's shoulder, and was sobbing.
"I really miss him, Tay. I haven't spoke to him since we broke up. I don't even know if he's still living in Alberquerque."
Taylor herself hadn't spoke to Troy for quite some time now, but she knew that some of the gang still kept in touch with him. Suddenly, Taylor had an idea.
"Hey, Gabi. You're doing a concert Friday, aren't you?" Gabriella nodded. Why is she randomly bringing this up? Gabriella wondered. "Well shouldn't you be thinking about that? You don't want to mess up in front of hundreds of people, because your mind's on Troy 'The Lunkhead Basketball Man.'
Gabriella realised that her best friend was right. She sat up straight, and started worrying. "Oh no Tay. What if I do mess up? What if I trip and fall?" Oh great. Now I've made her worry. Taylor thought.
Taylor shook Gabriella, to get her to calm down. "Look Gabi. You're not going to fall. You're not going to mess up. No one's going to laugh at you. They'll be cheering for you! Snap out of it."
"Yeah..you're right Tay." Gabriella said.
"Yes I am. Now I think you better go home and get some rest. You've got rehearsals tomorrow remember. It's going to be a long day for you."
Gabriella nodded. "Okay. I'll go home. You're coming to the rehearsals though yeah?"
Taylor smiled. "Of course. I'll meet you there. You think I would miss helping my best friend?" Gabriella smiled and shook her head.
"Okay. I'll meet you there, Tay! Bye!" Gabriella shouted as she walked out of the door.
Taylor smiled. She ran into the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
A/N: Right..That's the end of the first chapter. I know it's kinda short, but I just wanted to see how it goes. Review please! I might update tomorrow, or even later today if I get a few reviews.
