Oky this is just an idea that popped into my head. It was gonna be a oneshot but it was too long, this is just one half and it's eight pages on word. So I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

I walked into the kitchen of my apartment and looked into my cabinets looking for a cup. "Taylor what are you doing!! I need a cup! And food!"

"I'm looking through all of our old stuff. And look what I found," she said walking out of her own room holding up an old shoebox. "Do you remember when we made these?"

"Yeah we we're in high school and we said we would put everything important even if It brought up bad memories."

"Do you still have yours," She asked. I nodded. "where is it?"

"It's in my closet."

"I'm going to go find it," she said setting hers down and then walking into my room. "Found it!! Wait there's stuff that's pretty new in here. Do you still keep up with this?"

"Yeah, just the things that I don't want to see but I still can't throw them away," I said. "We have to go out for breakfast, we don't have any food in this place."

"Okay let's go get dressed and head to the café down the street," She said. "But we're going through these things later."

"Okay, whatever you say," I said. I ran into my room and changed quickly so I would have time to conviently misplace the shoebox. When I walked out in my jeans and tank top Taylor was already out there.

"You're not getting out of this," She said. I sighed and nodded. "Let's go." As we were walking down the street my mind began to wander, what's in Taylor's box?

"I love this place," I said as we walked in and sat down not needing to look at the menu.

"So do I," She said. "Oh my god." Her head turned a little as she bent to see around me.

"What," I asked.

"Shhhhh. I think that…oh my god…it's her," She said. "Turn around slowly and look for pink." I knew what that meant but I still did what she said. A couple of table back was Sharpay Evans and Zeke Baylor.

At the end of high school everyone was going to U of A, everyone but Taylor and I. We went to UCLA. We graduated two years ago and each are working happy, and single.

After graduation when we all went home to change for the party being held at Jason's I got an email from Troy. We had been dating for longer than I can remember, I loved him so much. And in that one short little email my heart and dreams were shattered. I didn't go to that party, instead I left early without saying good bye to anyone knowing Taylor would be coming in a couple of days and I could hold out that long.

"What are they doing here," I whispered even though I knew she didn't know. She shrugged. "Okay well let's just ignore them and eat our food happily."

"Okay and as long as no one says our names we'll be fine." I nodded.

"Hey," the waitress said. he was also one of our best friends and an actor. "What's going on?"

I kept your picture in my shoebox
I kept your picture in my shoebox
I kept your picture in my shoebox

Right now is all we need
'Cuz this feels pretty good
And I would stop the world
Just to give us more time

"Nothing's going on," I said.

"Gabi I know when something is wrong with you two," Nick said.

"Shhhh," Taylor said.

"why can't I say Gabi?" She kicked his shin from under the table. He bant over and grabbed his leg and the table to steady him. "Why did you kick me?"

"Don't say our names," She said looking behind him. He turned around and looked too.

"Is this about the crazy lady in the pink? She kept on talking about a Taylor and Gabi," He said. "Is that you?"

"Look, she's one of our old friends that took you know who's side when he broke up with Gabi," Taylor said. I looked down avoiding his gaze.

"Here they're almost done so I'll rush them out and try and get them out the other door."

"Thanks Nick," I said standing up and hugging him.

"Nick! Stop hugging Gabriella and get back to work!!" His boss fake yelled and walked away shaking his head. I closed my eyes not daring to look behind me.

"Can we just get pancakes to go. I'm not taking anymore chances," I whispered in his ear. He nodded and walked away.

"That was just great."

"Did she hear him?" She nodded. "Well then why isn't she over here already?"

"Because she could only see the back of you and I covered my face with a menu like I'm doing now."

"Well I got food to go," I said. "Is she still looking?"

"Yeah she keeps on taking a look back to see if I'll put down the menu," she said. I just had to laugh at it. Nick came back a couple minutes later with our food.

"Thank you," I said giving him enough for the food and a big tip. "We'll see you later? Tell us what she's talking about and we're going to rush out."

"Ready three two one," Taylor counted down. On one she dropped the menu and speedily walked out.

"She really doesn't want to see her again does she?"

"Neither do I. She told me everything that happened after I left and it's not good. I'll come by later and we can maybe go see a movie."

"Run, she's coming over here I think," He said. I grabbed my coat and started to walk out not wanting to run and attract attention.

"Gabi!" Great, I started walking faster and faster. Taylor had already started walking towards the apartment. Please don't catch up to me!

I kept your photograph and sometimes I take a look
Do you think I should
Are you gonna leave
Is she a better girl
And does she know about me

"Gabriella Montez!" I could hear her high heals clicking behind me and it was getting louder. I kept on walking but was jerked back when something grabbed my sleve.

"Gabi I think someone wants to talk to you." I turned and looked at my friend who was getting off the subway.

"I know and I don't want to talk to them." She could be a little clueless sometimes.

"Oh sorry, we're all getting together tomorrow night right?"

"Yes Nicole we're meeting at our place and then heading to the hotel. I have to go!"

"Gabi!" Sharpay grabbed my hand and turned me around. "Why wouldln't you stop?"

"Because I don't want to talk to you!" I said. "I don't want to even remember. I haven't seen you in so long, it has been six years! Why are you even here anyways?"

"I'll see you tomorrow Gabs," Nicole said. She gave me a sympathetic hug and walked away.

"What's going on tomorrow," Sharpay asked.

"Taylor and I are just getting together with some of our friends. Again I ask, why are you here?"

"Because the whole gang came into town for a trip. We're staying right down the block. Everyone misses you."

"Really, even Troy?" I gave her a hard stare and waited for her answer.

"He does have a girlfriend, but everyone knows he misses you. Why'd you disappear? He was so different at that party after graduation and he wouldn't talk to anyone, well except for Chad. You broke his heart by just leaving like that."

"He broke up with me! I was getting ready and I got an email that was from him and he broke up with me!"

"Are you sure?" I nodded close to tears. "He let us blame you this whole time?" I nodded. "Well if it makes you feel better, his girlfriend is a complete bitch."

"Well if he's happy with his girlfriend then fine. Maybe I'll see you around. Our food's getting cold, I better go," I said.

"Okay that's fine but where do you live? I want to get together, I want to see Taylor and know what you've been up too."

"I don't think that's the best idea. I'll see you around," I said.

Hey you
I think you're going in the wrong direction
Hey you
I could be everything you want
And it's true
You must have been something special to me
'Cuz after all this time
I kept your picture in my shoebox

"What happened to you?"

"Sharpay caught me. The whole gang's in town and they're staying at the hotel down the street."

"You mean the one that we're going to tomorrow night?" I nodded. "That's just great. But what else did she say?"

"Troy has a girlfriend," I said. "And everyone hates her. Sharpay wanted to get together again but I told her that it probably wasn't a good idea."

"Come on, let's go and sit down and talk this all out while we eat out pancakes." We took the food and sat down. "I can't believe they're here."

The next day our little group of friends all met up at our place ready to go to the hotel. "Gabi!!" Taylor called. "guess what we forgot to do yesterday!"

"What'd you forget," Nick asked. He was sitting on the couch with Nicole, Josh, and Alex.

"We want to know!!" Nicole added.

"We forgot to grow through our shoeboxes!" I walked out of my room and groaned. "We're bringing them!!"

"We want to see!" Alex yelled.

"No one is seeing my shoebox!" I yelled.

"Okay fine! But at least tell us what they are." I walked out and sat down next to Alex.

"When we were in high school we made these boxes. Everything that we don't want to remember but want to keep for our children goes in here. I didn't keep up with mine but Gabi did."

"You did," Nicole asked. "what's in it?"

"Just some old stuff. It's nothing," I said. "Come on, let's get there so we can swim." They all seemed to drop the subject but I knew Taylor would bring it up again later.

We checked in and dropped our stuff off at the rooms and then changed. Even though we live in California we are no were close to the ocean, we always go at least once a year but it's a pretty long drive, it's easier to just go to the hotel and hang out there, there's room service.

"To the pool!!" We all cheered as we ran towards the elevator. No one that worked here really cared, we came here once a month so we knew everyone. It was pretty fun.

"Taylor," I called. "Go ahead we'll catch up!" Everyone shrugged and went anyways.

"What Gabs?"

"What if," I said. She looked at me confused. "They're staying here." She still looked confused. "I don't want to see any of them."

"Oh you're talking about them?" I nodded. "well they'll probably not be at the pool."

"Are you sure?" She nodded. "Okay then, let's go." We got into the elevator and ride in silence down the 26 floors. As much as Taylor's words were comforting I still wasn't sure. I mean what if they were actually there.

"You ready?" I nodded. We walked out and towards the glass doors. Right before we walked in someone jumped off the diving board.

"Does that look like?" She nodded. There was a very wet afro in the pool right now. "At least it's not my ex," I said jokingly.

"Shut up."

Tonight was you and me
And it felt pretty good
Just like we stopped the world
For a minute in time
And then you made me laugh
About all the things we did
Do you think we should
Did you have to leave
And the other girl
Does she know about me

We walked in the doors and tried to ignore our old friends who were staring at us. "Hey guys," I said taking off my tank top revealing my black bikini with a white flower on the side.

"Gabs, why are those people staring at you?"

"Because those are our old friends," I said. "and we really don't want to talk to them."

"Well you may want to run because a really hot one with brown hair and blue eyes is walking over here," Nicole said. I looked over a Taylor trying not to panick. Looking beside me I jumped into the pool with my shorts still on and tried to stay under as long as I could.

"Gabi," Troy asked.

"Hi," I said. It seemed as if everything was just frozen, no one was moving or talking.

"Troy! Who's this?" A blone in a very skimpy bikini walked over to us and leaned down.

"I'm no one," I said. Alex made the perfect choice by jumping off the diving board. "Alex!"

"I'm coming too!" I looked over and everyone was running towards the pool, almost everyone hit the water at the same time.

"Wow guys," I said.

"Gabi." I turned around slowly and looked at Sharpay.

"Yes Sharpay?" The three guys laughed at her name but quickly stopped when they got the glare.

"Come with me," She said. "Now!" I climbed out of the pool and grabbed a towel before following her.

"What do you want Sharpay?"

"Look I'm sorry we never tried to contact you but Troy never told us," She said. "We really want to talk to you. We talked to Taylor at the party and I saw her walking down the streets. She told us to be at the pool today."

"Well that's just great," I said. "Look, I just can't."

"why not?" My head snapped over to the door. Jason, Kelsi and Zeke all walked in.

"It hurts, not talking to you, you didn't do anything wrong. Just Troy. Taylor told me that he wasn't even affected at the party. I've misse you guys so much."

"We missed you too and he didn't seem affected but she didn't notice him missing from the party after ten minutes," Zeke said.

"He was sitting in a bedroom for the whole time just staring at nothing."

"It's true." Chad walked in and gave me a hug, right behind him was Troy without his girlfriend.

"Gabi we need to talk," He said.

"No we don't. You made your choice six years ago and plus you have a girlfriend who's waiting for you," I said.

"Please?" I shook my head.

"your girlfriend is waiting for you. Does she not realize that those doors are sound proof?" We all looked over towards the window where her face was pressed up against the glass but she hadn't noticed yet.

"Don't worry Sandra is a complete ditz." We all started laughing except for Troy.

"She's not that bad," he said.

"I can see why your going out with her," I said. "We're not talking and that's final." I turned around and opened the door purposely hitting Sandra's head. "Whoops, sorry."

That's all I finished for now and that was only half of the song so I hope that you liked it. Please review and the next chapter should be up sretty soon.

Amanda!
