Disclaimer: I don't own high school musical, sadly. My very first fan fiction, no flames but please Review

Troy and Gabbi were best friends all through high school that is until Troy was caught with his lips glued to Sharpay at Kelsey's Halloween Bash. Now its 5 years later and Gabbi hit the big time as an Advertising Executive, and Troy well ended up unable to play basketball, for an unknown reason, so he is a photographer at JC Penny's.

One day when Troy was at work he spotted a young woman, unable to identify her, come in to get her picture taken. "Hello Miss, May I help you?" he asked her politely. "Yes, I would like my picture taken, I should be on the list as Gabriella Montez." she said in answer to his question. Troy's heart dropped at the name he just heard. "Um… yes your name is right here, Gabbi." He said unaware of the name he just called her. Did he just call me Gabbi? What does his name plate say…Bolton! "So you stopped playing basketball?" she asked out of the blue, she was to busy staring at the fact he wasn't married. "Yes, Gabbi" he said like a trained dog. "You didn't marry your lovely Sharpay?" she snapped. "No, I didn't love Sharpay." he said in defense to her unreasonable comment. "Oh, was she a one night stand?" she asked glaring, but not at him, at herself. "No, I didn't… we didn't… Gabbi please, you have to know, I have always loved you." he confessed "I would never try to hurt you." "Then why were you two locking lips at Kelsey's?" she said, she had to lower her head because tear were falling. "I didn't kiss her, it was a dare Ryan gave us, I didn't want to and I didn't, she just pushed me up against the wall and had her way with me. She would let me breathe, I passed out after you left." he said tear making lines on his face as well.

After Gabbi's tear dried, troy's kept flowing freely, someone took he picture and she started to leave. "Troy, do you want to have dinner, at my place, tonight?" she asked the still crying Troy.
