This takes place right after East High School graduation everyone is saying their good-byes. Troy and Gabriella have finished saying their good-byes to their classmates and are now walking to the seats they were seating in before and are talking.

Gabriella's point of view

"So we just graduated" said Troy

"Hmm yeah this year flew by fast" I told him

"So are you ready to move to California?" I asked him

"As long as I will be their with you then hell yeah" I giggled at his response

"I'm glad I get too spend an extra four years with you Gabs, hopefully more than those four years" I blushed when he said that because it feels like he has been thinking about his future and I am in it.

"You look cute when blush" he said as he was lean in for a kiss

I slightly blushed a little more and while I was leaning in for the kiss I said " why thank you I only blush for you" and right when we were about to kiss, Chad interrupts " Hey guys what you guys doin" , Troy and I both rolled our eyes and glared at Chad, "I interrupted something didn't I?" "Yes" we both said. "Ok well I just wanted too know if you guys were going to the pool party at lave springs tomorrow are you guys going?" Both Troy and I kind of hate pool parties because a lot of people just stand there and talk and don't do anything, sometimes we think the pool is polluted with urine from people in the pool who are too lazy too dry off and go to the restroom. "We don't know" Troy told Chad. "Aw come on this will be our last time to hang out as a group". "Then we could go to the movies our something and hangout maybe the mall because Troy and I need to get some new clothes" and Chad stuck his tongue out because Taylor is very difficult to shop with and Chad told us "Maybe" and he left to go find his basketball that Troy threw.

"So back to where we were" Troy smirked and leaned in.

I giggled and leaned in as well, and we kissed passionately.

All of a sudden we heard a whistle that usually men do when they see a sexy woman walk by, and we pulled away and we looked around and we saw crowd of people who were still sitting in the stands to see the graduation and I saw my cousin smiling and my mom hit her on the back of her head so I guessed it was her "I can't believe we just kissed in front of our parents that are waiting to congratulate us" I put my head on his shoulder.

"Aw it's ok" he put his arm around me and rubbed my arm.

"No it's not its embarrassing"

"Don't worry it's not like we are going to get the talk were old enough too know the consequences of sex" I giggled when he said that because it's true.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Later that day with Gabriella and her Mom- - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

"Gabriella I think we should talk about you and Troy", when I heard talk I right away was thinking about the kiss earlier today.

"Okay Mom what do we need to talk about?" emphases on we.

"Well don't you think you're taking things a little fast with Troy?"

"Mom we have almost been together for a year now, it will be a year next month and besides we have known each other for a year and a half now".

"I know but I still think both of you are still going to fast".

"Since when did you start thinking this?"

"When I saw both of you kissing after the graduation"

"Mom we are not moving fast in matter of fact we are moving slow"

"Ok but jus---"I didn't even let her finish I went upstairs and went into my cousin's room.

(A/N: Gabriella has cousin that lives with her and her mom and her cousin is named Rebecca and was worked at East High as a teacher's assistant, helped with the shows, and was a assistant coach for the boys and girls basketball team, baseball team, and volleyball team.)

"Ugh Becky did your mom ever have the talk with you?"

"Not that I could remember because she and my dad walked out on me when I was 10 remember? Why? Did your mom have the talk with you?"

"Yes she thinks Troy and I are moving to fast"

"Well the way I see it you guys are moving slow"

"That is what I told her"

"Well have you told him you love him?"

"Yes"

"Did he say anything after you told him?"

"I don't know"

"How could you not know?"

"Well I told him when I was at Stanford, I told him and I hung up"

"Ugh Gabs, you should of let him respond"

"Look I don't even know if he loves me"

"Well he must love you if he didn't he wouldn't have given up U of A and go to Berkley"

"Probably, only God knows" right when I was about to leave

"Hey hold up Gabs" and she grabs something from the draw and tosses it to me.

I caught it and looked at it, "What the hell?" it was a condom.

"Well just in case, you decide to have sex with him there is protection" she smirked at me and I just left the room. I put the condom in the drawer of the night stand I left behind and got changed to go to bed I also left behind.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the morning the next day - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

I woke up to the sun hitting my face and I glanced at the clock and it read 9:23 a.m., I laid in bed for a few more minutes before having to set up tables in the backyard for my graduation party we just invited the family and boy do we have a big family. I laid in bed for a couple of minutes until I got a text message it read,

"Good Morning sunshine

I hope I didn't wake you up

Troy x"

I giggled at the message and replied back and I put,

"Good morning 2 u 2

And no you didn't wake me up I have been up for while

Gabi x"

About 1 minute and a half later I got a text message

"Ok well good and u better not be lying to me

Troy x"

I put,

"Why would I lie to u?

Gabi x"

About 3 minutes later I got another text message and I had just finished brushing my teeth, my hair was in a bun I am to lazy to brush it and I read the txt message,

"I don't know I hope you will never lie to me

What are you doing?

Troy x"

"Don't worry I will never lie 2 u

Getting some clothes to wear right now while me and Rebecca start to set up the tables and go to the market to get some crap for the graduation party

How was yours yesterday?

Gabi x"

Right when I closed my phone I got a text from Troy dang that was quick

"It was alright I guess until my cousins started to shove ice down my underwear I was numb the whole night if you know what I mean and why didn't you come? All my cousins were asking about you and my 14 year old cousin Greg saw a picture of you in s bikini he told us he was going to a get a glass of water when we had waters outside and he came back like 20 minutes later his was face was all flushed and he was all sweaty

Troy x"

When I finished the text I was all grossed from cousin Greg but I don't know if I should be flattered or not but I picked not

" Yes I know what you mean and I didn't go because I wanted you to spend time with your family and ew Troy I could've had lived my whole life without knowing what your cousin Greg was doing and why do you have a picture of me in a bikini? And when did you take it?

Gabi x"

"When we went swimming in your neighbor's pool and your hair was straight and you had a flower in your hair and where you were standing the light was hitting you just perfectly I just needed to take a picture of you I'm sorry are you mad?

Troy x"

I smiled at his worry- ness

"Well you better show me the picture and don't say sorry you didn't do anything to upset me and no I'm not mad :]

Gabi x"

I was going to down the stairs and I got another text

"I will show you the picture and I'm glad you're not mad at me

Sweetie I have to go I have to go running with my dad

Troy xxxx"

I smiled and went into the kitchen

"Thank God you're down here I've been waiting for 15 minutes" Becky while putting her mug in the sink

"Sorry I was texting…."

"Troy, yeah I know now can we go we need to get all the crap for your party and your party starts at 5 and it's……..9:37, come on" she dragged me out of the house and we got into her mustang, I've always loved her car 2009 black mustang with gold racing stripes

"You have the list right?" I asked making sure

"Yeah and my I.D. for the beers" she laughed I smiled ever since she turned 21 she has been saying she feels more like an adult than when she turned 18. Five minutes later we got to stop light and of course it was red and this one takes forever to turn green which actually made late for school once. I was moving the stations until I settled on one when I looked up I saw Troy running with his Dad and they were going to run down the street we were on when made to the side walk he looked at me and we made contact, we both smiled he let his Dad ran pass him and he got of the side walk and came over to us "Hey sweetie" he smiled while sweat was running down his face "Hey" we both leaned and shared a sweet kiss "I better go...uh...I'll text you letter" I nodded "ok" he gave me another kiss when he got onto the side walk the light turned green and Becky toke off

"Well seems you guys are in love" she smirked

"Yeah whatever" hoping that it is true that we are in love because I know I'm in love with him

"Well…are you going to invite him to your party" she asked while parking the car to go to the market

"He already know he's invited" I said while grabbing a shopping cart entering the market

"Ok then…..so first on the list sodas….so let's get started" we spent almost two hours in the market our cart was filled with the crap we needed. When we got the register we 50 dollars short from what my mom gave us when I was going to get my wallet to pay Rebecca paid with her card, she turned to me "You can buy me lunch" she smirked. I just rolled my eyes and grabbed the cart and started to head out the market after everything was paid for, we went grab something to eat and took it back the house. Once we got the house we quickly unloaded the car and put the groceries in the house

I saw my mom come downstairs "Hey mom where are you going?" I asked as Rebecca and I finished our lunch

"Uh…I'm going to the store" she gave a Rebecca a weird look like if she knew something was going on and Rebecca nodded.

Something was going up.

No one's point of view

A couple of hours have passed and it was 3:30 an hour and half until the party started but it really won't start until like six because no one really comes right at the hour when the party will actually start. Becky was in the kitchen making some of the food while Gabriella was in Becky's room using her computer messaging Troy on myspace because Becky took her phone away about an hour ago for no reason and said she couldn't use it for a few hours. After 30 minutes Gabriella told Troy she need to get ready for the party and that hopefully she would see him later that night.

It was 7:30 and sun was starting to set the party had begun almost two hours ago. All of Gabriella's family was there; Gabi was setting at a table talking to her girl cousins talking….well more like her cousins asking her questions

"So Gabi you got boyfriend?"

"Have you had sex?"

"Are you in love?"

"Have you had—"

"Ok enough with the questions Yes, No, and Yes" Gabriella answered being annoyed with all questions being said

"Aw are little Gabriella is all grown up" her cousin Carol said while pinching her cheek

"Haha shut up" Gabriella said while trying to smack her hand away

"So what does he look like?"

"Uh…well he has hair, and eyes, a nose, a mouth, and two ears" Gabriella said not trying to say anything knowing her cousins are going to ask more questions if she gave them actual details

"Yeah I had a boyfriend who looked just like" her cousin Suzie said sarcastically making everyone laugh

"Come on Gabriella what does he look like?" Carol begged while Gabriella was messing around with her purple mid-thigh dress (Like what Vanessa wore to the Teen Choice Awards 2009)

"Well he looks like…… Oh My God Thank you" she said while hurriedly getting up from her chair and trying her best to kinda run in her heels to go hug Troy who was at the entrance of the gate

"You made it" she squealed while jumping into his arms

Troy hugged her back "Woah…Yeah of course" he started to stroke her hair, after a few seconds he pulled back "although I shouldn't have come because you didn't come to mine" Gabriella giggled "Shut up you know I wanted you spend time with your family and if I did go you would of just spent all your time with me" Gabriella giggles again "Yeah you're probably right" "I know I'm right" Gabriella said sarcastically making them both laugh "Come on follow me" Gabriella started walking toward the inside of her somewhat empty house just holding Troy's left index and middle finger with her right index and middle finger. They made there way upstairs to Gabriella's again somewhat empty room and went on the balcony "By the way you look amazingly beautiful" Troy commented making her giggle and slightly blush "Well thank you, you look pretty cute today too" she said while leaning in Troy leaned in also when there lips were about three inches away from each other Gabriella quickly kissed Troy's cheek. Troy chuckled as he usually does that "Ugh… I'm cold" Gabriella said while rubbing her hands up and down her arms "Here take my sweater" Troy started to take of his sweater "Aren't you going to be cold?" She asked as Troy was helping her put on his sweater "No as long as you're in my arms I won't be" Troy stated while bringing her into a warm hug Gabriella smiled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"Gabriella?"

"Yeah Troy?"

"I Love you"

"I Love you too Troy"
