It's been three years and three months since graduation. The gang is still tight, but everyone is going to college now. Because of the twins fighting over the shared room, Troy and Gabriella bought a four bedroom house in L.A. close to Standford as that's where the couple are going. Troy got a basketball scholarship there and is going for professional basketball as back-up for not getting hired at East High as the P.E. teacher/Head basketball coach. He applied to Berkley as back-up in case he didn't get into Standford as Berkley is only 32.7 miles from there.
It was the closest school to Standford that had a basketball program. Gabriella is going for her teaching degree, but in case she doesn't get hired, she's using the scholarship she got to take classes to be a lawyer as back-up. Taylor and Chad are going to U of A. They took the Bolton couple's three bedroom house for now until they all move back and they can find somewhere of their own. They had a little boy whose name is Skylar Laker Danforth. He's almost three now.
Tori as you know is now four. And Zac and Anna are three. Laker was Chad's idea by the way. Taylor fought with him for it being a first name, but she made a deal with him and agreed to it being his middle name instead. She's pregnant again only this time with a girl. She's seven months along today.
Martha and Ryan are going to Julliard in New York as Ryan got a scholarship for music and she one for dancing. She just found out she's pregnant with their first child and is happy. She told Ryan and he's ecstatic. She's two months along tomorrow. Kelsi and Jason are also going to Julliard both on scholarships for all musical agenda. Zeke and Sharpay are going to U of A. Him on a basketball scholarship and she on a musical one. They had a little girl whose name is Joslyn Kayla Baylor. She's almost two. She and Skylar are best of friends. The Baylors and Danforths are next door neighbors living on the street behind Glendale Ave.
It's the twins first day of Kindergarten and Tori's first day of First Grade. Tori made a friend last year that she misses, but keeps in contact with. Her name is Cecelia Ashley Jonson. It's Monday August 15 and Tori is excited to meet her teacher and make new friends. Zac is excited about school, but Anna is terrified. She's afraid she won't make any friends and will be made fun of for her advanced brains. Tori is dressed in some nice dark blue jeans with a Princess Jasmine t-shirt, a blue headband and socks to match, and gold convers. She comes running downstairs with her back-pack and sits on a stool to eat. "Morning, Daddy!"
Troy turned around and smiled. "Morning, Princess. You look pretty today."
"Thank you! I picked it out. Mommy just helped put my headband on."
"Well, you look very pretty. Waffles?" He asked.
"Yes please, Daddy."
Troy cut up a waffle and put a little lite syrup on it and handed it to her. "Eat up."
"Thank you, Daddy." She said and started eating.
Troy kissed the top of her head. "You're welcome, Princess." He said and went upstairs to see what was keeping Gabriella.
He walked into Anna's room. "What's going on?"
Gabriella turned around and sighed. "Anna won't get dressed."
"I don't wanna go to school." Anna said almost in tears.
Troy walked over and bent down to her level to look at her. "Why don't you wanna go to school?"
"I scared. I don't want to be made fun of because I smart."
"Baby Girl, there's nothing to be afraid of. If people make fun of you because your smart, it's because they're jealous and they're too afraid to ask for help. And you might not make friends on the first day, but that's ok. You will as you keep going to school."
"Really?"
"Really, Baby Girl."
"Ok. I go to school."
"That's my girl. I love you, Anna."
"I love you too, Daddy." She said and hugged him.
Troy kissed her temple then stood up to face his wife. Gabby hugged him and sighed with relief. "Thank you for that."
He hugged her back then pulled away enough to kiss her. After two minutes, he pulled away. "Anytime, Beautiful. I love you."
"I love you too, Wildcat."
"I have waffles downstairs when the twins are ready. Tori's eating now."
"Ok." She replied and pecked his lips. "We'll be down shortly."
"Alright." He said and went back to the kitchen.
Gabriella turned to Anna. "Ok, Sweetheart. Time to get dressed."
"Ok." Anna sighed and let Gabby dress her.
