Disclaimer: I do not own High School Musical

Summary: What if the one person she got was the one she didn't want and couldn't have?

"Gabby, you can't just go on single. You haven't dated since John. Just because you have one bad relationship doesn't mean there isn't someone out there for you. John wasn't the right guy, he wasn't a gentleman."

"He was too a gentleman. I don't know why I dumped him, I had no logical reason. I guess it was because he wasn't" Gabby started but was interrupted as Taylor spoke for her.

"Troy?" Taylor whispered softly as Gabriella nodded.

"Gabby, that was four years ago. Look at us now, we are out of college. You haven't seen Troy since high school. What are the chances of running into him now?" Taylor brought Gabriella back to reality.

"I know you're right. But how can you be so calm about this. You haven't seen Chad since high school either." Gabriella pointed out.

"Well, let's face it, Chad and I weren't in love like you and Troy were. We were just fooling around." Taylor explained.

"Bull shit Taylor. You were in love just like Troy and I were. I bet you'd give anything to be back with him."

"Ok ok, I refuse to answer that. Anyway, we got off topic. You are going to go on a date and you are going to like it. The next person who walks into this restaurant, you have to go up to and flirt with until he gives you a date. Deal?" Taylor reached her hand across the table to shake on it.

"Fine, but only to get you off my back." Gabriella answered in response while shaking her hand.

"Ok, and look here comes bachelor number 1." Taylor joked as a guy walked into the restaurant and walked up to the counter to order.

"Go on Gabby." Taylor pushed her out of the booth and watched as the timid girl quickly walked up to the guy.

"Hi, I don't usually do this in fact I don't really know why I'm doing this at all maybe it is because I have to oh I shouldn't have said that anyway I was wondering if oh no you wouldn't want to oh maybe I should actually get the question out." Gabriella rambled on and on while the guy became more and more amused. Gabriella couldn't look up from the ground once, but the guy could tell she was beautiful and nice.

"Would you like to go out sometime?" He asked her himself since she stayed silent.

"Yes. I'm sorry I'm so nervous, it's been a long time since I last did anything like this." Gabby responded.

"No problem" he laughed "Can I have your phone number?" He said handing her a piece of paper and a pen.

"Here you go." Gabriella handed it back to him after scribbling her number down.

"Well it was nice seeing you again Gabriella; I'll call you this weekend. Tell Taylor I say hi." The guy said before turning and walking away. Gabby's head snapped up as soon as he said her name. She saw the hair and immediately looked shocked. She walked slowly back to the booth and Taylor looked at her excitedly before asking her how it went.

"So, he looked cute. Did he ask you out?" She asked and Gabriella nodded.

"Oh good! What's his name?" She asked a bit worried by the shocked expression on Gabriella's face.

"Chad says hi Taylor." Gabriella said and Taylor paled.

So do you like it? Let me know I'm not sure if I'm going to continue. It depends on how many people like the idea.
