Summary: Once Gabi and Troy go their separate ways after high school who will be the one to bring them back together in the end or are they just not meant to be

Disclaimer: I don't own HMS or its characters but it would be so cool if I did. I don't own the Knights, Lakers, or any of the songs except for the ones I say I made up. Really I don't own much except for the people places and songs I have made up
Chapter 1:

Gabi's POV: "What about this Gabi?" Taylor said holding up a small stuffed bear.

"He gave it to me the night of the after party" I said taking it and stuffing it in a bag full of stuffed animals, pictures, CD's, movies ,and jewelry

"Which one?" she said looking through a small pile.
"The one after we won the scholastic decathlon, he won the championships, and we get Arnold and Minnie" I said frowning a bit "And this?" she said handing me a small golden heart locket. I took it from her and examined it. I opened it and squinted to see the two small pictures inside. One of me and one of Troy. I stared at it a few minutes before tears started welling up in my eyes. I flipped over the heart and looked down at the print on it.

'Love Always -Troy' it read. This time the tears didn't stall, they came gushing out like rain drops on a hot humid Florida day (a/n yea I know weird comparison )

"Oh Gabi" Taylor said patting my back sympathetically. "Here" she said un-entwining the gold chain from my finger, and taking it away. She was about to put it in the bag full of anything that could possibly remind me of Troy.

"No!" I said grabbing for her hand "I…I…I want to k…keep it" I stuttered

"Uh…..ok…..hey Gabs I think its enough of this tonight" she said looking around at our now almost empty dorm.

"Yeah I guess so" I shrugged.

"Ok well I'm gonna go get a shower, and if you need me just remember I'm in that room right there." she said pointing to the bathroom.

"Ok well I gotta go get something from the store" I said taking my keys off the holder me and Taylor put in when we moved in.

"What do you need to get?" she said as she looked through her clothes trying to find just the right outfit.

"Uh……..female hygiene products" I said a little unsurely "Uh…..oh oh oh got ya" Taylor said "Well go go hurry!" she said pushing me out the door "bubye now" she said before closing the door on my face

Troy's POV:
"Bolton get your head in the game!" my coach yelled at me "no no no! its fake right not left! How many times do I have to tell you! We have a game agaist the Knights and we are counting on you to bring the Lakers to victory! and if you keep it up they will know each and every move we make and then we won't be able to win now will we?"

"No coach" I said taking a big breath and letting it out slowly

"And Danforth you look like you have been spending to much time around that girl...uh Taylor. You can go after the ball you know! You dont have to stand around like some sissy being afraid the ball might hurt poor widdle chaddy! Come on you to Get your head in the game!"

Coach said to fake right and break left watch it for the pick and keep an eye on defense

gotta run the give and take the ball to the hole but dont be afraid to shoot the out side J

just keep ya head in the game just keep ya head in the game and dont be afraid to shoot the outside J just keep ya head in the game

ya gotta getcha head in the game we get our get our get our head in the game...

"Gosh shut up! nobody wants to hear you sing that stupid song!" one of our team mates yelled

"Why dont you shut up for once Robert!" Chad yelled

"Never!" he said as he threw the ball at my face I scrabled to catch it before it hit me

"Hey! Hey! Hey! split it up you three is this a basketball team or a boxing match?"

"A team" we all said in unison

"Right! and you have to remember that! Got it! good! I think thats enough practice for tonight, go hit the showers!" coach yelled

"Yes coach Jackson" we all said with a sigh of relief (a/n I think thats the Lackers coachs name) We all started walking to the locker room.

"Dude are you ok?" Chad asked "Yea sure just thinking about this dream I had last night..."

Dream: "Look Gabriella Im really sorry"

"No! you left me once you broke my heart. I can never forgive you for that Now go, go off with your little basketball boys. They need you unlike me!" Gabriella stormed off

"Wait Gabi! I..I..I'll quit basketball I'll leave them all I need is you!"

"No Troy! you dont need me because if you did you would have never left me now go out there and show them that you love them more then me. Thats what they want they want you Troy. They keep screaming your name! now just go play and leave me alone!" she said as she walked out of a room , out a door and away.

I started crying I had nothing that I loved more then Gabriella and now I lost her...

but wait, this wasn't a dream. Everything actually happened that way. Those words, those were her exact words and I dont think I could ever forgive myself for leaving her in the first place.

"Oh...well...why dont you come with me and Tay tonight. We're going out to that new Italian place down the road from where her dorm is. You can bring Sharpay I bet she would love to come." Chad suggested

"Yea..ok sounds fun" Me and Sharpay have been together ever since Gabi refused to ever speak to me again. She was the only one there for me when she left. Sharpay has really gotten better, she doesn't yell at everyone in her path and she actually smiles at things other then seeing herself in the mirror. I guess nobody just ever gave her a chance they just jumped to conclusions about her.

"Ok uh...then lets get going I told her I would come pick her up at 6." Chad said as he shook his sweaty head or hair sending little droplets over everyone around us. Robert shot him a dirty look and Chad just smiled in accomplishment

"K lets go then I'll have to call Sharpay then pick her up which will take about...half a hour" Chad just smirked as we walked out the door.

Gabi's POV:

Knock knock "Gabs will you get that" I heard Taylor call from the bathroom. I had just gotten home from the store a few minutes before hand.

"Sure" I said as a walked over to the door and opened it wide to show three well known faces. One I noticed as Chad, but the other two are ones that I would rather not know. Troy and Sharpay. So I did the first thing that came to mind I slammed the door right in their faces.

"Gabi!" Chad yelled "What did you do that for"

Troy's POV:

Oh my, was that Gabriella!

Chad's POV:

Oh gosh, how could I forget that Gabriella and Taylor share a dorm

Gabi's POV:

Omegosh omegosh omegosh

It was them. It was him. He's back. Oh no!

What am I going to do. I just slammed the door in their faces.

"Gabi come on open it back up I'm here to get Tay!" Chad yelled from the other side of the door.

"Come on Gabi what's wrong, Chad was just coming to get me……." Taylor said as she opened the door. She saw Troy and Sharpay and her jaw droped.

I ran right to my almost empty room and cried.
