"Look Troy, your future can't be built on just singing." He said.

"Why not?" Troy yelled.

"Because singing is not what you do."

"Dad, I love to sing. It's what I want to do, did you not see me in the musical, I rocked that."

"Yes you did but…"

"You would rather me follow in your footsteps, than follow my own dreams." Troy became really mad.

"Troy, you have school tomorrow, you should get to bed. Your mom will be angry if she finds you down here when she gets home."

Troy listened to his dad even though he was mad. He shut his light off and locked his door. He opened the window to his balcony and climbed down, once he reached the ground he ran to Gabriella's house.

He climbed the balcony as fast as he could. He knocked on the window. Gabriella opened it and fell into his arms.

"I love you Troy, so much." Gabriella said, "And I will support you in what ever you do."

"What are you talking about? What happened? Are you okay?" Troy was being serious he became really nervous.

"No nothing happened. I was just thinking about the college plan and I decided that we can shift the plan. We can go where we both get accepted."

"No Gabi, you are going to Berkley. Even if I am not going to get in."

"You will next month you will get a big envelope." Gabriella tried to smile.

Troy smiled and kissed her. They slid onto the bed and Gabriella lied in his arms, before they knew it they were both asleep.

Monday Morning

"Gabriella wake up, Troy. It's almost seven o'clock." Mrs. Montez walked into Gabriella's room. This is what Troy envied about Gabriella; her mother was so understanding and trusting. If Troy's father found them in bed together he would have jumped to the obvious conclusion, but Mrs. Montez trusted them and knew that nothing was going to happen.

"Oh my god, I have to get home." Troy jumped out of the bed and gave Gabriella a kiss before running out the door.

The climbed back in though his bedroom window and turned around to see his parents sitting on his bed.

"Where were you Troy?" Mr. Bolton asked.

"I have to get ready for school." Troy said trying to pass his father in the doorway.

"Troy ANSWER ME!" His dad yelled.

"Okay fine, I just…I went to…I went for…a…walk." Troy said.

"Now why don't I believe that?" Jack Bolton asked his son and wife.

"Look, Jack. Let Troy get ready for school." Mrs. Bolton said.

"Leslie just shut up! I need to know where you were last night." Troy looked at his father and then his mother. "Troy!"

"I spent the night at Gabriella's." He shouted back to his father. His father seemed unsurprised.

"You are going to wind up a father at eighteen and you are going to throw away your basketball dreams." Jack said.

"No I will throw away your dreams, not mine. And why do you think that, what ever you think we are doing we are not." Troy grabbed clothes from his drawer and his backpack and walked out the door.

He pulled his car up to Gabriella's house; she was waiting by the door.

"What took you so long?" Gabriella laughed as she threw her backpack into the backseat of Troy's silver convertible. Once she slammed the door, Troy drove off at full speed.

"Slow down Wildcat." Gabriella said humorously. She looked over at troy who was muttering under his breath.

"Troy are you okay?" Gabriella asked.

"No I am not." He yelled.

He slammed the breaks when her swerved into a parking space.

"Gabriella, I just need some time alone okay. I am sorry but I need to think." Troy said.

"Ok. I'll see you in homeroom." Gabriella walked to homeroom. She was walking looking at the ground and she ran into Sharpay.

"Watch it!" Sharpay shouted. "Oh, hey Gabriella, what's up?"

"Nothing." She sniffled and walked past her.

When she walked into her class Taylor immediately knew that something was wrong.

"Gabriella are you okay?"

Gabriella opened her mouth but shut it again when Troy walked in the doorway.

A/N: Not a big cliffy, sorry. Review, the more reviews I get the faster I will update. I have a question: Rate Zac Efron on a scale of 1-10. Me: Over ten, he is really, really, HOT x Infinite.
