Little did Gabriella know, that her college life wouldn't be as smooth as her East High one was. Basketball. Cat fights. Boyfriend drama. Backstabbing friends. Deaths and Births. Hospitals. A lot Slapping. Parties. Dreams. Holidays. The list goes on. But what happened? A cheerleader is what.

Lets go back to the first day of college...

Troys Pov

First day of college. New start. New season. New basketball team; the RedHawks. Troy and Chad both got scholarships to the University of Albuquerque and because they wanted to stay in New Mexico with their friends and family, plus they have dreamt about wearing the RedHawks uniform since they were 8.

Troys alarmed went of and troy groaned. Early mornings were the bane of him. He rubbed his eyes and struggled to get out of bed. Sharpay hosted an Pre-College party last night and let's say it was definitely wild. Wearing only wildcat shorts. He headed towards the bathroom only to find it locked and in use by his brother, Nathan. "Ugh! Nate, get out i have college in 20 minutes" Troy groaned. Nathan was only 15, 4 years younger than troy. Nathan unlocked the door and smiled. "Hey bro" Nathan said smiling, he loved winding up his brother. It was worth getting up early just to take the bathroom. "Good luck in your Sophomore year" Troy said, don't get in too much trouble. Nathan laughed. "Thanks good luck yourself but i have the Bolton reputation to live in" rolling his eyes. His brother set a high bar for him to pass in high school but he loved challenges so he was more determined than ever.

Troy smiled and fist bumped his brother before walking into the steamed up bathroom for a shower.

After his shower, Troy threw on a pair of jeans and his red baseball top. After running some gel through his hair he looked at his phone and saw that Chad was going to collect him and an message from Gabi staying Good morning and wishing him luck. He smiled and replied before hearing a loud honking noise. Chad. He grabbed his Duffel bag and ran downstairs. He was greeted by his mom and dad. "Sorry, running late" he said kissing his mom's cheek and grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Have a good day son" Jack said looking up from his newspaper. "You too dad" Troy replied before slamming the door and hopping in Chad's truck.

"College here we come" Chad smirked. "How's your head" he added - referring to the shots that were taken last night

Gabi's Pov

Gabriella was awake before her alarm as usual. She had showered, got dressed, done her makeup and her hair. She had double checked she had her books for her Medical Science course 3 times and had texted troy. Sharpay was picked up her, Taylor and Zeke as she wanted us to own college. Taylor had taken an law course. Zeke had taken an Culinary course and Sharpay took Theater, obviously. The party last night definitely was something but Gabi told herself not to go bad because she doesn't want to look like something from the walking dead on her first day.

She walked downstairs and greeted her mom who was making herself breakfast. "Good luck Mija today, i just want you to know i'm proud of you, and your father would be too" Gabriella smiled, "i know" she replied giving a small smile. Talking about her father still upset her ever since he passed 3 years ago.

Gabi spotted a familiar blonde haired girl wearing blacked out sunglasses. She giggled knowing that sharpay probably had an hangover. Sharpay looked at Gabriella "Don't. Say. A Word" she said causing Gabi to raise her hands in defense, trying to contain her laugh.

After college had finished at 3pm, Gabriella went to Troy's house; it was practically her second home. As she knocked on the door, Nathan answered. He smiled when he saw her, Gabriella had being around that long she was practically his sister and they had an bond like no one else had. "Stop growing Nate! I don't want you to get older" she laughed as they hugged. "Just because i'm almost taller you midget" he smirked.

"Leave her alone, i love her height, it's cute" Troy said coming down the stairs and moving Nate out the way and to kiss his girlfriend. He held her waist tightly as she smiled by how he could always compliment her in ways she couldn't think he could.

"My queue to leave" Nathan almost said immediately; disgusted by what he just witnessed. He loved Gabi like a sister but seeing his brother and her like that just grossed him out.
