True Love

Gabriella was standing by the gym entrance waiting for her boyfriend of just over a year, Troy Bolton. She couldn't wait to congratulate him. Tonight the Wildcats won their second state championship in a row, and she couldn't be happier because the team worked extremely hard this season and they deserved this. Winning the championship was a great way to add to the good memories of their sophomore year of high school. As she stood waiting for Troy she thought back to yesterday.

Gabby and Taylor had just left their Scholastic Decathlon meeting and they were walking down the hallway.

"I have to go to my locker" Taylor said.

Gabby nodded, "Okay I will meet you in the gym" Gabby turned left and then walked to the doors of the gym. Before she entered, she saw that the Wildcats were sitting in the middle of the gym and Troy was standing up, talking to them, with his back to the door. Gabby quietly opened the door and then shut it so Troy wouldn't hear her and continued to walk into the center of the room. When the team finally noticed her, she quickly put a finger to her lips signaling for them to not say anything. When she reached Troy she grabbed the basketball that he was holding by his hip and ran to the other side of the gym and began to laugh when he began to chase her. Gabby ran to the hoop and shot the ball into the hoop, with Troy hot on her heels, and it was nothing but net. The Wildcats, who had now moved onto the bleachers clapped and cheered for Gabby. Troy grabbed the ball and began to dribble down the court but when he reached half-court the ball was stolen by Gabriella and Troy stood there in shock as his girlfriend made another basket.

"Man Troy, Gabby's got some game!" Chad yelled.

"That's it Montez, your going down!" Troy said with a smirk.

Gabby also smirked and continued to dribble the ball. Troy ran over to her and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and he began to dribble the ball down the court to the basket.

"Hey! Troy put me down! This is so not fair!" Gabby exclaimed as Troy made a basket.

"It's fair to me" Troy said laughing.

Troy put Gabby down and gave her the ball, she then began to dribble it, while Troy tried to block her. Gabby dribbled the ball up to Troy and their bodies were so close that everyone, even Troy, thought they were going to kiss. Gabby then pulled away fast and dribbled the ball down the court as fast as she could to the basket, before Troy even knew what had hit him, and on her way yelled "Gotcha!" with a laugh.

Everyone was amazed that Gabriella got past Troy the way she just did. Troy and Gabriella continued to play but they didn't notice that as they continued to play the audience was getting bigger and bigger, including Mr. Bolton and Taylor.

Mr. Bolton stood by the entrance of the gym watching his son and girlfriend play basketball with a smile on his face. This is what exactly Troy needed. Troy had been under a lot of stress about the Championship game tomorrow and he knew that Troy needed to just forget about winning the game for a minute and have some fun.

After about 20 minutes, the score was Gabriella 18 and Troy 18. "Alright Troy," Gabby said with her hands on her hips "next basket wins"

"You sure about that? Because when I make the next basket you might want to keep going" Troy said as he dribbled the ball to the center court.

Gabby laughed. "Watch yourself Bolton"

They finally reached the center and Troy threw the ball up into the air. Gabby caught the ball and got a quick breakaway. She dribbled the ball to the three-point line and took a shot. It went in.

"3 points for Gabby!" Gabby exclaimed, jumping up and down.

Troy walked over to her and put his arm around her waist "Where did you learn to play like that, because I need to figure how to explain how my girlfriend beat me in a game that I just happen to play everyday and I am captain of the champion team"

"Simple. Just say you taught your girlfriend everything she knows"

Gabby and Troy leaned in and kissed.

Gabby snapped out of her daze when she heard her name being called by a very familiar voice that she knew since last year.

"Hey Gabby" Taylor called, waking up to her.

"Hey Taylor" she answered with a smile on her face as Taylor stood next to her against the wall.

"It was a great game!" Taylor exclaimed and began to jump up and down, making Gabby laugh.

Gabby started to jump and down too, while answering Taylor's question "Yes it was, watching our boys run around looking all hot in their uniforms. It is just a bonus that the Wildcats won"

Both girls erupted into a fit of giggles. The people around the girls began to stare at them, which made Gabby and Taylor laugh harder. Chad walked out of the locker room and saw Taylor and Gabby and walked up to them. As he got closer he heard them laughing. He smiled and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.

"Hey girls, what's so funny?" Chad asked.

"Oh nothing" Gabby answered with a smile and was still laughing.

"Sure, it's nothing" Chad said mimicking Gabby.

"Where's Troy?" Gabby questioned Chad.

"Oh he's still in the locker room. When I left he was still in the shower. He said that he wanted to look good for your date tonight." Chad answered, while he and Taylor laughed.

Gabby was about to say something to Chad when her eyes were covered by a set of hands.

"Guess who?" said the person who the hands belonged to. The person was trying to talk in a deep voice to disguise himself, which didn't really work because Gabby still knew exactly who it was.

"Oh, I don't know? Who?" she asked giggling.

"Your extremely hot boyfriend" the person said simply. She could tell even with her back to him that her boyfriend had his famous smirk on.

"Oh! Hey…now whats your name? Tom? Trevor?" Gabby said, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Hey!" Troy exclaimed.

"Just kidding wildcat. By the way, if you keep playing like that you might have a shot with the co-captain of the scholastic decathlon team"

"Really did she say something!?" Troy asked while he moved out of Gabby's grasp and looked down the hallway, pretending to look for the co-captain.

"Yeah she said this" Gabby then pulled Troy closer to her and kissed him.

"Alright enough making out guys." Chad said and Troy and Gabby pulled apart laughing.

"Great game boys!" Taylor said.

"Yeah it was!" Gabby chimed in.

"Thanks" Both Troy and Chad said at the same time.

They four friends talked for a few more minutes then Chad and Taylor left because they decided to go get something to eat.

"So, my beautiful girlfriend, what would you like to do for our date?" Troy asked Gabby with a smile on his face.

"Lets see…shopping, get my nails done…" Gabby said. She didn't even finish before Troy had a disgusted look on his face. "I'm kidding, as long as it is with you it doesn't matter"

"Perfect. Lets go, I have a surprise for you!" Troy said taking her hand and leading her to his car.

When they got to Troy's car they got in and drove the short ride to Troy's house, talking and laughing along the way. They pulled into Troy's driveway and Troy quickly got out to open Gabby's door for her. When she got out she gave Troy her hand and he led her to his backyard.

"Wow," Gabriella gasped as she walked into Troy's backyard through the gate, "It's beautiful" Gabriella said admiring the trees which had lights wrapped around them and the yard that had been decorated for a romantic atmosphere. Her smile grew when she saw what was in the middle of Troy's personal basketball court. There was a table set for two, with two candles and rosebuds were spread around the table.

"It would be better but we had the game and-" Troy tried to explain but he was cut off by Gabriella's lips against his.

"It's beautiful Troy, I love it!" she said, proving to him that it was a wonderful surprise.

"Thanks, now lets eat! I'm starving!" Troy exclaimed while taking Gabby's hand and leading her to the table.

He pulled her chair out for her and as she was sitting she asked him "What would you have done if I wasn't available tonight? I could have had plans with my other boyfriend."

"Haha. Very funny Montez. I knew you would be free tonight because you told me you were planning on going to the game and even if you weren't free I knew you would clear out you schedule just so you could be with me" He answered putting on his smirk.

"Oh really?" Gabby asked

"Yup" said a confident Troy.

"Well, your right I would do that, but only for you" Gabby said.

It was about an hour later and they were still at the table talking, except Gabby moved her chair so she was sitting next to Troy. Troy then reached in his pocket and pulled out a small wrapped box.

"This is for you" he said placing the box in her hands.

"Troy you didn't have to-" Gabby said, but she really loved getting presents.

"Yes I did, now open it already" Troy said, cutting Gabby off.

Gabby opened the box and gasped when she saw what was inside "Oh my gosh is this your class ring?" She questioned with tears in her eyes.

"Yes and I want you to have it" Troy said.

"Thank you" she whispered into Troy's ear as she hugged him.

"Anything for you Brie"

"Can you put it on for me?"

"Sure" Troy answered with a smile.

Troy took the ring and placed it on her finger and they both smiled brightly. They leaned in and kissed. When they pulled apart Troy said "I'll be right back" Gabriella nodded and Troy got up and ran inside. A few moments later he appeared with a blanket in his hands.

"What is that for?" Gabriella questioned, as Troy spread the blanket on the grass.

"We, my dear, are going to watch the stars" Troy replied.

"Yay!" Gabriella squealed "that's my favorite!"

Gabby ran over to the blanket, and Troy closely followed. They positioned themselves on the blanket and started watching the stars.

Gabriella was lying cuddled up next to Troy, and they were sitting in a comfortable silence. Troy then whispered in her ear. "I love you Brie"

Gabby smiled, every time he told her that she blushed and Troy knew that and it made him love her even more.

"I love you too Troy"

They leaned in to kiss when Troy's phone went off. He reached in his pocket to answer it "Whoever you are I swear I am going to kill you! You just ruined a perfectly good moment with my girlfriend!"

Gabby laughed and whispered "Troy we kissed many times before, it's not like our first kiss was ruined"

"Yes I know we kissed before and our first kiss was ruined…by Chad!"

"Hello! I know you want to talk to your girlfriend but I am still here Troy" Chad's voice came over the phone

"Yes Chad?" Troy questioned sounding very annoyed.

"You know, Troy you shouldn't answer your phone like that. What if the president of the United States was calling you? You would be pretty embarrassed then" Chad replied.

"Yeah, because it's every day the president calls you on your cell phone. Now can you tell me why you called?" Troy asked.

"Right, I was wondering do you want to go to an Albuquerque Red Hawks/ Duke Blue Devils game tomorrow with me?" Chad questioned, already knowing the answer.

Troy's annoyed mood suddenly changed after hearing the question, "Do you even have to ask!? Yes I want to go!" Troy exclaimed through the phone.

Gabriella laughed at her boyfriend's sudden change of mood, if you going to ruin a kiss it better be with tickets to a basketball game.

"Alright man, I'll let you go so you can go and continue to make-out with your girlfriend" Chad said with a smirk on his face.

"Very funny Chad, you know you were doing the same thing with Taylor before you called, and I bet you only called me because she went to the bathroom or something" Troy answered, knowing Chad like a book.

"Well your right, she is back now, bye!" Chad said quickly.

Chad then hung up the phone leaving a laughing Troy and Gabriella at the other end. Before Troy closed his phone he looked at the time, it said 11:42 and Gabby's curfew was midnight.

"Come on babe, lets get you home" Troy said to Gabby while standing up.

"Okey dokey" Gabby answered with a small smile, not wanting to go home.

Troy then gave Gabby his hand to help her get up and they walked hand-in-hand to his car.

TGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTG

They were now standing on Gabby's front porch kissing. Gabby then pulled away.

"Troy, I have to go inside" Gabby laughed when Troy wouldn't let her go.

"No you don't. Your curfew says you have to be at your house at twelve and technically your home" Troy said matter-of-factly. Gabby laughed and leaned in for one more quick kiss.

"Good-night Troy. I love you"

"I love you to Brie" Troy said.

Troy then began to walk down the walkway to his car and smiled as his girlfriend went inside. Gabby walked upstairs to her room. When she got there she felt her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. She took it out and saw she had a text message.

Sweet dreams my beautiful princess.

Love you,

Troy

Gabby smiled as she read it and then she replied back.

Sweet dreams to you too, my handsome prince

Or is it my knight in shining armor?

Love you more,

Gabby

She slipped into her favorite pajamas and climbed into bed. She was about to fall asleep when her phone vibrated once more on her nightstand. She picked it up and read the text from Troy.

It's not possible

As she read the message, she wondered how it was possible she wound up with a guy like Troy as a boyfriend. She finally figured out that it didn't matter how she got him all that mattered was she had him now and hopefully, she will be with him forever.

The next morning Gabriella was sitting on her couch in the living room and she looked at her watch, it read 11:54 and she was bored. She had finished all her homework for the weekend and her chores that were given to her by her mom. She decided that she could go hang out with Troy. From the early-morning phone conversation she had with him today, she knew he didn't have to leave for the basketball game with Chad until 1:30 so she decided she would go surprise him. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard her name being called.

"Gabby can you please go to the store and get some groceries please" Mrs. Montez asked.

"Sure mom, but I am going to go to Troy's first" Gabby replied back.

"Okay honey. Here is the list" Mrs. Montez said, handing her daughter the grocery list.

"Thanks." Gabby said taking the list "Bye Mom"

Gabby grabbed her purse and keys and ran out the door to her car. She got into her car and drove down her street. She was stopped at a red light waiting for the light to turn green, and all she had to do was make this left and she would be on Troy's street. She was just about to turn when out of nowhere a car from across the street came speeding towards her. When she realized it wasn't going to stop she started panicking.

"OMG!" she said out loud, panic written all over her face. Within a second the two cars collided and she was knocked unconscious.
