Thanks so much for reviewing! You guys are awesome! This may be short, but I'm really busy at the moment. I just wanted to update. So I do apologize for the typos if there are any.

Troy didn't want to knock on front the door. So he made his way to the backyard like he did to confess the truth to Gabriella about last year.

Flashback

Gabriella sat in her bedroom reading a book when her cell rang. She grabbed it and noticed who it was on the Caller ID. It was Troy Bolton.

"Hello?" Gabriella asked.

Troy quickly said the following : "What you heard, none of that is true. I was sick of my friends riding me about singing with you, so I said things I knew would shut them up. I didn't mean any of it"

"You sounded pretty convincing to me." Gabriella said while putting her bedroom lights on.

"Listen, the guy you met on vacation is way more me than the guy who said those stupid things."

"Troy, the whole singing thing is making the school whack. You said so yourself. Everyone's treating you differently because of it"

"Maybe because I don't wanna only be the basketball guy. They can't handle it. That's not my problem, it's theirs."

"What about your dad?"

"And it's not about my dad. This is about how I feel, and I'm not letting the team down. They let me down. So I'm gonna sing. What about you?"

"I don't know Troy."

"Well, you need to say yes. Because I brought you something."

"What do you mean?"

"Turn around."

End of flashback.

Troy looked up and saw Gabriella crying out on her balcony. He sighed, then started to climb up the side with the roses still in his hands.

"Gabriella..."

"Go away Troy. I'm really not in the mood!" She shouted at him. After the terrible thing she saw in his home, she was afraid of guys now. Where all of them 'players' like Troy? Or were all kind and carring?

"Gabriella, please let me explain this to you."

"What? Explain what? Oh, how you were kissing Shawndra? There is no need to explain there. And don't you think that handful of roses will do you any good."

"Gabriella, I didn't kiss her. She kissed me."

"Oh yeah, like I'm going to believe that."

"Gabriella that's the truth. I...I really care about you. You're the only person who had true and real feelings for for awhile now. Please just believe and let's continue with the date that was so rudly interupted." Troy was hoping he was making progress in her.

"Troy, do yourself a favor and die for me will ya!" Gabriella was beginning to cry again, and started for her balcony door. But Troy grabbed her arm and turned her around.

"I know you don't mean what you just said. Gabriella, I'm not that kind of guy. I'm not a guy who would date somebody like that. I wouldn't want to hurt a girl who I'm madly in love with."

Gabriella was shocked at his words. 'Madly in love with'. No guy has said that to her before. She didn't know whether too cry, or hug him.

"You really mean that?"

Troy smiled and handed her the roses. "I mean it with every word from my heart."

They both smiled at each other, and began hugging when Gabriella's bedroom door opened. It was Mr.Montez.

"Gabriella Rodriqez Montez, what are you doing out on you're balcony with a boy?"

The two of them quickly pulled away. "Dad, this is Troy, Troy this is my dad."

"Oh, so you're the reason my daugther was crying as she ran in here."

"DAD"

"What?"

"Troy and I settled this. Now if you excuse us, we must get to our dates. We're late for a very important date." Gabriella smiled at Troy, noticing him laughing.

"I see you watch too much of Alice in Wonderland." He said smiling at her.

"Hey, I love the classic Disney movies."

The two of them laughed as the headed down stairs. What kind of mess will happened this time?
