New story. So comment and let me know if I should keep going. I have not been on here in forever, but I finally got creative. I hate my other story so I might totally redo it. Yeah review this chapter. Please!

I do not own high school musical duh.

Troy had just gotten home from his two week vacation in Hawaii. He and I did everything together. I missed him severely. He is my ex-boyfriend, but even when we broke up we could not stop spending time together. We just always were doing something fun together.

"I am home!" he declared as he walked into my room. "Who let you in?" I asked, shocked to see him here. "Your mom," he responded as he fell back on my bed, "oh what have you been doing these past two weeks without me?" he asked as he twisted his body so his stomach could rest on my bed. "Crying," I joked as I put my intense book down. "What book?" he asked as picked it up to read the summary on the back. "Twilight," I answered as I took it back from him. "Oh my gosh every single one of my girl cousins were reading this in Hawaii. I swear I saw like ten girls on the plane reading this book," he said irritated, "and now you." "Taylor told me to read it," I replied, "she said it was amazing. I disagree, but I mine as well read it so I will not be out of the loop when every girl talks about it."

He rolled his eyes. He stood up, and he paced back and forth. He looked like he was either thinking or really nervous about something. "What is wrong?" I asked trying to sound sympathetic. "In Hawaii, I met a girl," he announced, still pacing. "And," I added trying to sound like I care. "Do not rush me," he declared, "so this girl lives in Hawaii."

I raised one of my eyebrows. Was he in love with her?

"She likes me, and I like her," he continued, "and I miss her." I saw the sad and tenderness in his eyes. I actually felt bad for him at this moment. I did not want to say anything that sounded mean, so I thought it over for a minute. I wanted to give him good advice. "Why don't you call her?" I suggested.

He looked at me and smiled. "I guess I could do that Gabriella," he responded, "you are so smart!" "Do not worry you can talk to her, I will not get angry," I advised as I started reading "Twilight" again.

He came back like five minutes later. "What time is it in Hawaii?" I asked realizing Hawaii and New Mexico were in different time zones.

Troy glared at me, "Well it is 8 there and 11 here, and I awoke her." "Was she angry at you?" I wondered. "Yes, she was angry that I woke her up so early," Troy answered as he fell on top of my bed. He looked at me while I was reading "Twilight". "Good book?" he wondered, "I mean it is like a love story or something?" I shut my book, and explained, "It is a book about a vampire and a girl." He looked at me like he needed more of an explanation. So I continued, "Yes, they fall in love."

He smiled for a moment. "I cannot stop thinking about her!" he proclaimed, loudly. "Who is she?" I questioned. "Well she lives in Hawaii. She is our age, and she just wonderful!" he answered with such excitement. It was astonishing. "Beautiful?" I asked. "Does it matter? Her personality was just so interesting!" he stated so joyously.

This was how Troy acted around me when we first started dating. He was just so happy and excited around me. Then our excitement just stopped. And I kind of miss it. As long as this girl made Troy happy, I was happy too.

"Is she Hawaiian?" I asked. He looked at me with a smile, "yes, why?" "Oh I was just wondering. Well that is cool," I tried to say. I wanted to sound supportive. Even though, I knew this relationship would be extremely hard to keep.

Troy got up, and moved to the end of my bed. He leaned on it for a moment. "So are you even going to ask me about my amazing trip to Hawaii or were you going to keep reading that stupid book?" he laughed. "Well I cannot stop. It is just so addicting!" I exclaimed. "I thought you did not like this book," he reminded me. "I do not think it is amazing is what I meant." Troy looked so antsy that I knew I had to interrogate him about Hawaii.

"So you were grossly entertained by a girl there?" I proposed. Troy brushed his head for a moment to gather his thoughts. "Yes her name is Kiki. This is not all I did while I was there. I hanged out with my cousins and family," he added. I could hear the excitement in his voice. "Oh yes so was your cousin's wedding spectatular?" I asked. "Oh that was ok, kind of blah. Nobody really likes the girl he married so we all had to pretend to be happy for him."

Troy put his head in his hands. He looked around my room. He looked like he lost his train of thought. "I just wish I was back there with Kiki," he declared, "I cannot even explain how amazing she just was Gabriella!" "You knew her for what a couple of days," I added.

He looked at me with disgust. He got up, and he walked towards my window, and he leaned against it. "I knew her though, she was so special," he reminded me once more.

This whole love talk was sickening me. Troy never annoyed me, but right now I wanted him to leave. "If you talk about her one more time, you will have to leave," I stated, seriously. "But," he continued, "I love her."

That was the last straw. "Leave now!" I declared.

I dragged him by his shirt, and I pushed him out my door.

"Come on Gabriella, I was just joking," he tried to say.

I shook my head at the wooden door that blocked Troy and I from seeing each other. Oh Troy had his moments where you just wanted to push him out your window. He also saddened me when he talked about girls and how beautiful they were. He might have been over our relationship, but I was having a harder time.

It was only three months ago Troy and I decided we were not right for each other. Troy and I decided we might be better suited as friends. I was a little queasy at the thought, but I did not cry. I did not become depressed because Troy told me how badly he wanted to be my friend. I was happy with that notion. We became best friends better than we were as boyfriend and girlfriend. Over the past few months he kept talking about these different girls he went on dates with. And now this Hawaiian girl that he may never see again was scaring me. I tried to keep myself composed during these obnoxious conversation that each conversation I was becoming less tolerant with the idea of him dating other girls.

All I thought in my head was "soon you will start your senior year and then you will have college. College is where you can find a nice and amazing guy."

I tried to stay positive for thought of being negative would totally haunt me.

Eventually a couple weeks passed, and Troy was over the thought of Kiki and him being a real relationship.

"What if she surprises me, and you know comes to New Mexico?" he proclaimed!

I shook my head no because I knew lying was just going to hurt him even more. "You are right, she lives in Hawaii, and I live here," he admitted with complete and utter sadness.

I put my hand on his shoulder to show my compassion for the poor guy. "And school starts in a week," he said which totally put me into shock. "Oh right thanks for making me sad," I joked. He tried to crack a smile, but all I saw gloom.

Chad rushed over to the bench where we were sitting in the park. "Troy some girl is looking for you!" he laughed. "Are you serious? Who?" he begged as he stared at Chad. "Some girl," he laughed again.

I could not tell if he was being sarcastic or not. If he was joking, I was going to hurt him. It was not right to make Troy even more depressed. Troy turned his head slightly only to see amazing happiness on his face. He got up so fast that I did not even have enough time to stop and say, "who is it?"

Chad looked at me, "is this the girl?" he asked with astonishment. "I think so," I replied with some sadness in my voice.

A couple of nights ago, he described her to me. She looked exactly like the girl he described. She was Hawaiian. She had long black hair that was perfectly straight. She was tall about 5'8. She had dark brown eyes, and her face was flawless. She had an amazing smile. She was so tan that I was started to become very jealous of her. She had this exotic looking face, but that was what made her very pretty. Troy walked her over to me. He looked absolutely happy. He held her hand and that made me want to die. Why was I so jealous? We were not even going out, but this girl was so beautiful that I just wished he had not picked this girl. She seemed perfect and flawless. He seemed totally head over heals for her. I just missed being that same girl. My stomach ached as they inched closer to me. I kept myself totally composed to show my absolute support.

I knew now Troy was going to introduce me to her. So I got up, and I made a weak smile. "Hi," I pronounced happily, "I am Gabriella." She smiled at me, "Kiki." Chad went over to Troy to whisper something in his ear. Troy laughed. I had not clue what they were saying, but at this moment I did not even care. "How long are you staying?" I asked. "Only a week," she explained, "my parents were not really into the whole idea of me visiting a boy I only knew for a few weeks. They saw my sadness as I told them how much I missed him." I tried to smile, "I am glad you came because Troy has been so sad without you."

Troy came near us, and he grabbed her hand, "I will take you to my house, you probably had a long ride."

I sat back on the bench. Troy waved goodbye, and I waved back. Chad sat next to me, and I knew he wanted to talk about her. "She is wow," he announced loudly. "I know," I reminded Chad. "Something must have happened in Hawaii for this girl to fly out to see him," Chad exclaimed. "I know Chad," I replied angrily. "What is wrong?" he wondered. "Nothing," I snapped.

Something was wrong with me. I just wished Troy never would had met that girl.

"Come hang out with us tonight. I am showing her around Albuquerque," Troy begged with every ounce of his body.

I could hang up the phone on him and totally avoid this girl for a week or I could be the good friend I am and show my lying support. Be a good friend was all I thought.

"Sure, why not? She needs someone like me to tell her all your flaws," I laughed. Troy did not though, "Gabriella, you better be lying!" "I am chill," I said. I could hear the uneasiness and stress in his voice. "She seems great even all I said was Hi to her," I reminded him, "but she seems nice. Where is she staying?" I wondered.

She could not stay at his house because his parents were so strict with me. I had to leave by 11, and sleeping over was totally out of the question. I never could tell whether his parents liked me or not. His dad said I distracted him from playing basketball well. Which I did not understand because he scored 15 points each game. So I just assumed he did not like me. His mom was nice to me occasionally. She did not like me eating dinner with them though. She felt I took too much food, but if Chad were eating, she would give him as much as he wanted. So I felt totally out of the loop when I came over. So I just assumed they would act the same towards Kiki as they acted with me.

"Oh, she is staying in our spare room," Troy replied. Wow, that hurt. I knew now what his parents thought of me. They did not like me. "Really? I could not even sleep over if you wanted me to," I reminded him. "Well, I do not know they thought she was a lovely girl when they met her," Troy tried to say.

What was that suppose to mean? They thought I was annoying. I just pretended his comment meant nothing.

"Oh that is great," I tried to say.

I was fuming on the inside. I mine as well be nice to her though because she did not do anything to me. I had no reason to judge her. She was perfect. Right?

"Meet us at my house around 7," Troy reminded me.

"Oh, cannot wait," was all I thought.

I decided to not even waste my time getting ready. I threw on my American Eagle Jeans that were so two years ago. Then I searched for a shirt, and I found a short sleeve white v-neck. I looked like a wreck so I decided I might need to look better. I kind of just wanted to show Troy I was not competing with anyone. So then I just threw on my yellow tank top that was casual but not too formal. My hair was down and curly. Very little make-up was put on. Troy loved that about me though. He loved how I just never tried to look absolutely gorgeous for him. I looked how I wanted, and he always made feel good by telling me I looked good.

So walked slowly down my stairs only to see my mom reading some book. "Bye mom," I told her quietly. Apparently, I scared her. "Woah, huh where are you going?" she asked. "Troy's then to downtown Albuquerque," I answered as I went over to find my keys. "Have fun," she added, "be safe." Then she totally got back into her book. It was like nobody was there.

I walked outside only to see the sky getting darker. It looked like it might rain. I kind of hoped it would but then I would be stuck at Troy's house. All I could think was how I would get evil stares from Troy's parents. So going downtown sounded much better at this moment.

It only took about ten minutes to get to Troy's. Chad and Zeke were already there. I had no clue whom else would be joining us. Maybe Taylor, Kelsi, or Jason would come. I hoped Sharpay and Ryan Evans would not crash in. They never were officially in our group so they always invited themselves to join. It irritated me, but I usually got over it by ignoring them. I waited a minute in my car to see if anyone else would be joining us. After five minutes passed by, I decided I mind as well go inside.

Chad was standing near the front door. He was on his phone. I waved hi, and he smiled back. His conversation sounded totally random so I decided not to eavesdrop. Troy was in his kitchen, and he was laughing. I felt awkward as I slowly made my way towards the kitchen. Troy was leaning on the counter. Kiki was sitting on the bar tool, and Zeke was standing very close to Kiki. I gulped, and finally I got to the kitchen. "Is this all that will be going with us," I asked with a smiled. Troy made the mmhmm sound, but he stared at me like I walked in on an amazing conversation. Now it seemed like I ruined it.

So I step back a little, and I did not say anything. Neither did they for a moment. Then Kiki turned towards me, "so I hear you two dated?" I smiled and shook my head yes. "He is amazing," she laughed. I shook my head in agreement. This was totally and plain awkward.

"It is awesome you two stayed friends even after you two broke up," she smiled. I looked at her, and I started to feel totally uncomfortable so I sat down at their kitchen table. "Yeah it is great," I agreed, "Troy is such a better friend." Troy weakly smiled at me, and walked near Kiki to be closer to her. I realize how much I did not know about Kiki and Troy. I had no clue how they met or what happened while he was down there. I decided I would interrogate him later when this moment did not seem so awkward. Chad walked into the kitchen, and leaned on the counter. "Ready?" he asked as he ran his hand through his hair. Everybody walked towards to door. I was last to leave, and I just wanted to go home at this moment. Uh, I needed at least my best friend Taylor with me here. I had to stay calm, and be on my best behavior. It seemed not saying anything would be the best behavior I could give.
