Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical. I wish i did!!!
Troy, slowly drove back to the apartment he shared with Chad Danforth and Zeke Baylor, along with his girlfriend, Sharpay Evans. Sharpay, Zeke and Chad had all gone with Troy to East High. They had also all gone to Stanford and had decided to get an apartment together in their second year. Now, they were in their fourth year, and had little less than a year before they graduated, however they had all decided to carry on living here, until they decided they couldn't anymore. Troy Bolton could imagine his future. He would be living with a friend, sponging of them and their partner, he would never find true love and if he had already, he didn't know where it had gone. He thought he would be a loner for the rest of his life.
Suddenly the telephone ringing interrupted Troy from his damning thoughts.
"Hello?" Troy said simply.
"Troy it's me, " a familiar voice said, he knew he was in big trouble...again. He was a man of twenty-one and his parent's still treated him like a child.
"What's up now, Dad?" Troy asked, already annoyed.
"What's up? Let's see, we got a call from Anna this afternoon, apologizing, and saying that she could no longer make it to thannksgiving! What happened now, Troy?" His Dad was boiling up inside, Troy could tell.
" She dumped me Dad! I don't even know what happened! It's just how it goes! " Troy knew exactly what his father's next words would be.
" Troy if you want to be successful, then you need the love of a good woman keeping you calm, collected and most of all focused. I'm afraid for you, Troy. Your mother is too, if you can't keep one lousy relationship, you will never learn to settle down. What is wrong with you?" Troy knew the speech off by heart. He had heard it seven times, and he knew his father would be expecting his reply, the same one he always gave.
"I don't know what's wrong with me Dad, maybe i'm not meant to be with someone. Maybe i'm meant to be a loner for the rest of my life."
"Don't talk that way Troy. One day when you have a family, you will wonder what made you say that sentence, and you will thank your Mother and I for pushing you further. Just promise me one thing, Troy, please,"
"Fine Dad, what is it?" Troy sighed, he was fed up of people telling him how to live his life, he wish he was back in high school, because everyone treated him like he was still a teenager.
"Just promise me, that you will be more serious next time, that you will love her," Jack Bolton was sick of going through this every few months with Troy. He wished he could have High School Troy back, at least he was serious, and more importantly...happy. Jack knew the reason for that...Gabriella Montez. He knew Troy would never find someone as perfect for him as Gabriella, and Jack Bolton would give anything for Troy and the girl he eventually considered the daughter he had never had, had stayed together.
"I can't promise i will love her, but i can promise that i will try," With that, Troy and his father said their goodbyes and hung up.
Exhausted, Troy collapsed on the sofa, only to be interrupted by Sharpay entering the front door with a million shopping bags, and in desperate need of help.
" TROY!! A little help here?" Sharpay screamed at the top of her lungs.
Troy obeyed and ran to the door and collected most of the bags and placed them on the dinner table, " Gosh, Sharpay, what did you buy? The entire mall?" Troy teased.
" NO! i collected a few necessities, clothes and what not, and also this months shopping, that's the heavy stuff. What's wrong with you anyway?You look like you've been kicked in the balls." Sharpay laughed, and Troy hit her arm playfully.
" Can't you guess?" He looked at her seriously and she clicked on.
"Uh-oh! The Troy Bolton, woman killing machine has struck again? What's this the twelfth girl who's dumped you?" Sharpay asked as she stocked the fridge, she looked up over the door and gave Troy a sympathetic look.
" Don't give me that, I'm sorry for you Troy look, missy. It's not like i loved her or anything." He grabbed a soda, and turned to walk up the stairs, before turning and saying, " It's the fourteenth by the way, but who's counting?" He gave her his winning smile, headed for the stairs and told her to tell him when dinner was ready.
Two Months Later, Christmas in Alberquerque
"I can't believe, that we only have two semester's left and we are free from education, guys. This is going to be so great." Zeke said to his friends, Chad and Troy.
"I know what you mean dude! All this studying hurts my brain!" Chad exclaimed. The boys fell about laughing, and Chad looked sad, but then suddenly shrugged it off, he knew he wasn't the brightest of the bunch.
Then, Sharpay came out of the Bolton household with a cross look on her face.
" Troy, you're supposed to go shopping with your mother to get a present for your Dad! Get moving!" She crossed her arms sharply to show she was serious. Sharpay hated when Troy upset his mother. She thought of Mrs Bolton as a friend more than a friend's mother. She hated the fact that Troy always broke his promises to his mother, because Sharpay thought she was the loveliest person in the world.
" Yes Mom!" Troy saluted Sharpay who jumped at him and scared him. He ran into the kitchen to find his mom, Hannah Bolton, all ready for shopping, she grabbed her car keys, and said, " You ready Troy?" He nodded and they jumped in her SUV.
With only two days left until christmas, Troy had requested his Mother's help to find the perfect present for his Dad, as he had done with his Father the previous day for his Mom's present. When they had been in twenty stores, he finally found the perfect gift.
" Troy, i need to head back, are you coming?" His Mom asked him.
"Umm no mom, i think i need to grab a couple of coffees first, i'll grab a cab home." Troy said.
" No, Don't. I see your father in that store over the road. I'll get a lift back with him, you take my car sweetie. Love you and see you later." She kissed her son's cheek and turned away.
As soon as she was gone, he wiped the kiss off his face, just like a little kid. He headed over to Starbucks, ordered a Mocha Latte and sat down. He was deep in his thoughts when a woman approached him, waking him from his day dream...
