Troy has been ordered to go to dinner with the Evans. He is not looking forward to it at all. Plus, he has a date with Gabriella tonight. He really doesn't want to miss it. He was going to have to try and get out of the dinner early.

"Ahh, here's our superstar. Troy Bolton, this Jake Surone. He works at U of A. And his wife Shona Surone." Mr. Evans told.

"Hello Mr. & Mrs. Surone." he said shaking their hands.

As time went on, they ate dinner and talked about Troy's future, which he was not very comfortable with. He wasn't really listening though. But one thing caught his attention.

"Basketball and golf are just the begginning of Troy, Daddy. Have you heard him sing?!" Sharpay said.

"Oh thats wonderful. You can participate in the Club Talent Show." Mrs. Evans said.

"Oh my god, it's perfect! He can sing with me!" Sharpay said.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up." Troy said astonished. These people were basically planning his life. He pushed his chair back and stood up. This caused the whole dining room attention to turn to them.

"You can not walz into my life and start planning it. Especially when I have some plans and dreams of my own. I'm not trying to sound disrespectful, but seriously. U of A is a good school and all. But I've kind of set my mind on going to UCLA. With Chad, Zeke, Taylor, Jason, Kelsi and most importantly Gabriella." Everyone was looking & listening with interest.

"Tro-" Mr. Evans started but was cut off by Troy when he put his hand up signaling he was not done speaking.

"And the talent show. Yes, I will be in it. But definitely not with you Sharpay. All you have done is make my life miserable. Before Gabriella arrived, it was not as bad. You were just really clingy and annoying. Then after I met Gabriella at the Ski Lodge and she came to East High, you tried breaking us up. She was the one and only person and thing that made my truely happy. The only person who knows the real me, who understands me. Gabriella knows things that Chad doesn't even know. She even understands me better than Chad most of the time. You tried tearing the most important thing in my life away from me. The thing that made my whole life worth living. The one thing that I love more than anything else in the world. And your still trying to do it. Singing is mine and Gabriellas thing. Not mine and yours. It will always be mine and Gabriellas thing. If it weren't for singing, I might not have even met Gabriella." Troy said. He was even starting to get tears in his eyes. He was really upset about all of this. Sharpay was beyond shock. Did he really talk to her that way? Did East High's Golden Boy have tears in his eyes? And most importantly, had she really been that mean?

"I know what my goal is for the future." He continued. "The whole gang still as close as ever and living in the same town. Graduating from UCLA with my friends and the love of my life by my side. Going out for the Lakers for a few years. Then taking over my dads job at East High. And the most important part of my future, and the highlight, marrying Gabriella and starting a family with her. Growing old and being happy with her. Because I love her, and nothing, and i mean nothing will ever change that."

"SHARPAY MICHELLE EVANS! IS WHAT HE IS SAYING TRUE? DID YOU TRY AND BREAK HIM AND GABRIELLA UP?" Mrs. Evans yelled.

"Oh, Mrs, Evans, that's not all. She has been ordering Mr. Fulton to get everyone except me to quit. Im guessing so she can have me all to herself. Another plan to break us up. You should hear what she has been telling him to do. And yes Sharpay, im not stupid. caught on to your little scheme when I heard you talking about it." Troy put in.



"THIS IS REDICULAS. SHARPAY, I THOUGHT WE TAUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT. YOUR GROUNDED. WE WILL DISCUSS THIS LATER THOUGH." Mr. Evans said fuming. He calmed down and looked at Troy. "I am so terribly sorry Troy. I can't believe she would do all of this. I will make sure she gets punished."

"Thank you sir. Now, I have a date to get to with my amazing girlfriend. So if you will exuse me." Troy said turning around.

But when he turned, his blue eyes connected with a pair of brown ones that had tears streaming down her cheeks. He was oblivious to the whole dining room looking with curiousity and the whole gang standing to the side of Gabriella.

Had she heard all of that? Oh man! We haven't said 'I love you' Troy thought.

But he forgot about those thoughts as a smile spread on her lips and she ran to his arms. Her arms flung around his neck with her legs around his waist. He caught her and his arms were around her waist supporting her. Their lips were locked in a passionate kiss. The room broke into applause and cheers. Troyella broke apart after a minute. She buried her head into the crook of his neck and hugged him tightly.

"You heard all that?" Troy asked. He felt her nod against his neck. Heat creeped up his neck to his cheeks.

"Did you mean it?" She asked quietly.

"Every single word." He replied kissing her hair. She pulled her head away to look him in the eyes,

"I love you too Troy Bolton." She replied smiling and kissed him softly. When they pulled away, Troy was grinning life a five year old recieving a huge hot fudge sunday. But as always, their moment was broken, but not by Chad surprisingly.

"Im sorry." All heads snapped Sharpays way.

"What?" Troy and Gabriella asked in shock. Was Sharpay Evans really apologizing?

"Im sorry. I never realized how mean I actually was. I guess hearing what I did and hearing how deep Troys feelings are for Gabriella made me realize what a bitch I was. Sorry for the language. But I was one. And there is no denying it." Sharpay apologized.

No one knew what to say. But Gabriella wiggled out of Troys arms and he set her down. She walked over to Sharpay.

"Everyone deserves a second change right?" Gabriella said.

"Really?" Sharpay asked hopeful.

"Yeah." Gabriella said.

"So can we start over? I would really like to be friends with you Gabriella. With all of you." Sharpay said.

"Sure. But to start out, call me Gabi, or Gabs." She told Starpay. Then she whispered, "Don't call me Brie or Ella though. Troy will get mad." They giggled.

"Now this is how summer is suppose to be." Monique said.
