After High School
Preface
Ever wondered what happened after Troy and Gabriella went to college. Well I know what happened, and trust me it's a good story. The only reason I know what happened, is because I was there....
Troy went to Berkley like he said he would, and Gabriella returned to Stanford. Troy loved his acting classes, and still enjoyed basketball as much as ever. Gabriella on the other hand, was finding it difficult to stay on top of her work. She was falling behind in all her subjects. She hadn't seen Troy in a while and was beginning to wonder if he would visit soon. Unfortunately, she was so concerned about seeing Troy that she had completely fallen behind, so much so, that the university had no other option but to flunk her out mid semester. Her and her mother returned to Albuquerque. Gabriella tried to call Troy, but only got his voicemail, so she left him a message, informing him that she had returned home. Troy didn't reply to that message. He was too involved in theatre and basketball, and as Chad said "you don't take the girl with you after high school". Gabriella had lost her pizzazz on Troy, and he had begun to see that she was really only holding him back. Now he could truly shine. Troy was the leading man at Berkley, even though he was a first year, he had excelled. He was exceptionally popular, and was enjoying campus life. He soon forgot that he had a girlfriend only 32.7 miles from him.
Chad was still studying at U of A, and Gabriella was trying to get into U of A. She was taken in, only because she used to live in Albuquerque. Gabriella and Chad hung out a lot, and soon enough they were dating. Chad had obviously dumped Taylor, because he stuck by his rules. She settled for Chad because he was the closest she was going to get to Troy. Troy scored the role of the leading man in the University's first musical of the year. He was soon taken by the leading lady, her name was Larny.
