"Gabriella. If you left now I would live with regret for the rest of my life. I don't know how to say this. You don't need to answer but let me get this off my chest. I love you Gabriella Montez."


There was a soft buzz coming from the room. It was too early to deal with anything this early but she guessed it might be important so Gabriella rolled over to the side to see her cell phone vibrating with a new text, glancing at the clock she looked at the time she saw it was flashing 7:00 am. Thinking that the text was worth the look she flipped open her phone to see the message was from Sharpay.

Where were you last night? I told your Mum you are around mine! Anyway please text me before you get to Standford. Shar x

Realization hit Gabriella today she was leaving for Stanford. Quickly looking at the clock she shot up to see her clothes on the floor, and a person next to her. She looked at the topless person and herself to her clothes on the floor, and then at her surroundings this wasn't her empty room it was a room painted red and white with a few basketballs scattered everywhere. Thoughts were running through Gabriella's mind she couldn't believe it her once best friend now sleeping next to her. She slept with Troy Bolton. Quickly gathering her clothes and getting dressed she smiled at a sleeping Troy. She would miss him, he one hour they would have gone their separate ways. All ready she again glanced at the clock. 7:15am if she wanted to get home on time she would have to start walking in the next few minutes. Searching Troy's desk she found a pad of paper and smiled it was the notebook that Taylor gave him last year, it had the heading A Note From Troy. Crossing out the name Troy and replacing it with her name Gabriella started to right a note. It took Gabriella about 5 minutes to decide what to put, once ready she laid it on his clothes, he must surly pick them up. Picking up her stuff she looked at Troy and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Saying "I'll miss you Wildcat."

Gabriella was about to leave Troy's room when she heard a groan, and a voice. "You say what?"

Looking back she sees Troy sitting up, looking at the room like she did 15 minutes earlier. "We...did we? We had..." Troy was questioning Gabriella.

Gabriella looked at the floor, she couldn't for some reason look at Troy in the face but manged the single word. "Yeah"

Troy was still taking everything in when he saw Gabriella ready to leave, he was about to ask what she was doing when it hit him like a ton of red bricks. She was leaving. Planning to walk. As quick as he could Troy grabbed all his clothes, and got dressed as quick as it could and smiled at Gabriella who had a very confused expression on her face. "And you think I'd made you walk?"


The car journey was extremly silent Gabriella and Troy not looking at each other. It was like the previous night had wiped them complety not knowing what to say to each other. All they could hear was the music inside their head. Today was to soon to say goodbye. Gabriella was thinking about all the good times and how they were always there for each other, the school plays, the amount of times her and Troy were told off for talking. All suddenly coming to an end. Gabriella was woken out of her thoughts by Troy.

"Gabs we're here."

Looking at Troy she gave a small smile. "So you know...em...see you Troy."

Troy looked at Gabriella also smiling but not knowing what to do was he to kiss her or not? Yes he should but where? Every emotion was building up in Troy not knowing what to do he suddenly snapped out of it when he heard her speak to him. "Yeah see you as well. Bye."

Gabriella slowly got out of Troy's truck and started making her way inside her house looking back once to take a last look at Troy.


Throwing his basketball up and down was the only way to ignore his thoughts, but today throwing a basketball wasn't enough. Nothing was enough lying on his bed Troy was trying to get all the memories out of his head. When he heard his phone vibrate, tired he flipped his phone open and looked at the new text message.

Wildcat that better not be a basketball I can see being thrown. You have been things to do. Go and get your girl. Shar x

A panic struck through Troy, nearly running into his accult desk he sat down and longed onto the computer which prompted to enter his password Gabriella. Nearly screaming at the computer it finally loaded, Troy was muttering to himself. Come'on...JFK Airport, New York, Chicago, San Francisco. San Francisco! Looking at the page her flight departed at 10:00 it was now 9:15. Grabbing his keys and throwing on a jacket he quickly wrote a note for his Mum and Dad

Mom Dad,

Something Important

Troy x

Spirting to the truck it was 9:17 Troy was counting down in his head 43 minutes to get to her. Troy was driving through the streets of Albuquerque at speeds he never thought of doing, until he hit the traffic lights. He would have at least a 15 minute wait in the traffic.


Gabriella was looking at the clock it was 9:42 then at the floor. She wasn't ready to leave everyone she knew, she could feel tears build up in her eyes. This was the end of everything and at one point of the night she thought that it was the Start of Something new but it wasn't. It was ending right in front of ends. Gabriella felt a pair of arms wrap around her, she looked up as flash as she could to see Taylor.

Taylor was looking at Gabriella she had never seen her best friend so upset her ends where all puffy from crying and not getting enough sleep. Sure they were leaving everything behind but it wasn't like they couldn't visit their friends once every 3 months. But she didn't know the sorrows of Gabriella the fact that she won't see Troy again in ages. Taylor for once was on her friends side believing that Troy and her were friends, and let it out in a single comment hoping to make Gabriella smile. "At least you didn't do what me and Sharpay were trying to do for the last 4 years, and get you and Troy together. Otherwise you would be a lot worse."

Taylor hoping to get a smile from her best friend was greeted by more tears. Taylor was left speechless, "Gabriella I was telling and joke. And also you and Troy never got together, so what is the problem, why you crying?"

Gabriella just hugged Taylor, and looked for her and Taylor's mums who were buying some coffee."Taylor you don't know. But we did get together we slept together last night."

Taylor was confused just to hug Gabriella back.


Skidding into a parking place Troy looked at the clock 9:50. Running into the airport he was looking for the right boarding area but could hear the intercom, "Flight to San Francisco boarding now closing" Troy panicking quickly found an airport attendant who pointed him in the right direction. Running as fast as he could he reached the boarding area to be stopped, "I'm sorry sir but the boarding is now closed."

Troy didn't know what to say but he had to argue he wanted his Gabriella back," But my frien...my bes...my...my girlfriend is on that plane."

But Troy's arguing didn't work. Troy just sat down in the waiting area just to see the flight to depart with his heart. Looking at the the posters and everything around the airport he knew what he had to do, to get his girl back.
