Hi everyone,
I know that I've never written a High School Musical Fan Fiction, but three months ago I watched the movies with my niece and she loved them! The only thing she didn't like was she wished Troy and Sharpay had gotten together during the second movie. Now I was a huge fan of High School Musical growing up I watched the first two on tv. I dragged my boyfriend at the time to the opening weekend of Senior Year during our senior year and I even played Kelsi when my school did High School Musical in middle school. Now I love the characters Troy and Gabriella together but I also loved the ideas my niece came up with. I told her how she could tell me her ideas and I would make it into a new version for her to read. She loved the ideas and wrote them all down. Then as I was working on this for her she was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer in her pelvis, spine and legs. She spent her final few weeks in the hospital and when she was able to come home for Thanksgiving I showed her what I had finished and she loved it. She wished that others could read it too and I told her about Fan Fiction and I told her I would post it. Unfortunately before she could see it posted she passed away at the age of 12 on November 25th. It has taken me awhile to look at this story again but I decided to post it so I could share it for her and share it with others. I hope you enjoy her ideas as much as I loved hearing her ideas.
Chapter 1:
Troy Bolton had just finished his junior year at East High where he had helped lead his basketball team to a state championship, stared in a winter musical with his girlfriend Gabriella and just enjoyed his hanging out with his friends. Now he was on summer and looking forward to hanging with his friends and girlfriend, shooting some hoops, and finding a part-time job to save up some money for a car for his senior year.
He had just finished shooting some hoops with his dad and some of his best friends when his phone rang. When he answered he was shocked to find that it was a job offer from a Mr. Fulton from Lava Springs the town's country club. He was so excited to be offered a job he didn't even think about saying no it was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. He would be waiting tables or being a caddy when needed either job meant tips plus his minimum wage which meant a car sooner rather than later for him.
When he returned to the kitchen his friends had already started eating the food his mom had laid out and were moving towards the family room to play some videogames. His mom asked who was on the phone. "The manager of the Lava Spring country club offering me a job as a waiter for the summer. I accepted I figured it would give me a lot of tips from the rich people at the club." Said Troy. His mom looked at him that she was happy with his decision to take the job. "That is a great job Troy you could use some of your tips towards your college fund." Troy just nodded before heading towards the family room to hang with his friends. He planned on telling them later about his job.
Over the weekend he was too busy shooting hoops with his friends to tell them about his new job that he was starting on Monday. It wasn't until late Sunday afternoon when he and the guys had just finished another game and were getting ready to leave. "Dude are we on for another round of hoops tomorrow afternoon?" asked Chad passing the ball to Troy. "Uh yeah about that I can't tomorrow I'll be at work." Said Troy. "Work? Since when have you gotten a job?" asked Chad the rest of the guys looking at him too. "Since Friday. I got a call from the country club offering me a job as a waiter. I said yes and I start tomorrow." Saud Troy tossing the ball back to Chad. "Must be nice to just get offered a job. I'll see you later or maybe I won't since you'll be a working man now." Said Chad walking out of the yard heading home. The rest of the guys looked between Troy and the gate that Chad had just walked out of for a few minutes. As they were leaving the rest of the guys congratulated him on his job Zeke told him that Chad will come around he's just mad because he keeps losing out on jobs to college kids and now he won't be able to afford the car he wants in time for the new school year.
Later that night as Troy was getting ready for bed and was setting his alarm his cell phone rang, it was Gabriella. "Hey Gabriella" said Troy laying down in his bed. "Trooooy is it true? I just hear from Martha who heard it from Kelsi and I had to call Taylor to confirm from Chad that you got a job?" Troy rolled his eyes and said "Yes. I got a job at Lava Springs I start tomorrow." "But Troy! I thought we were going to hang out this summer. I know I tried finding a job and I know I'll just be babysitting on weekends which cuts into our date time but I planned on us having dates during the day and spending our days with each other and now we can't because you got a job and all the plans I made are out the window. Troy just sighed "Gabriella we will still have time to hang out I promise its just I need the money college is coming soon and you know my parents are talking about how expensive college is and how a scholarship is only guaranteed based on my next season so I need to start saving now. This job is going to help me save." "Troy you know you're a shoe in for a scholarship you got this wildcat." "Gabriella I know you think I'm guaranteed a scholarship but I can't bank on that and I need to work but I gotta go I start work tomorrow morning." "Fine. Goodnight Troy. I love you!" said Gabriella. "Yeah you too" said Troy before hanging up and tossing his phone onto the end table. He rolled over and thought about how he needed the money towards college and that a scholarship wasn't guaranteed. He knew he was good at basketball but he also knew that money didn't grow on trees and there was no guarantee that U of A would give out scholarships for the following year.
