As the week went on, Troy did as he normally did. Homework, eat and sleep.
The week drew on like molasses's on a cold winter morning. Troy thought it would never end. When the day finally came for Gabriella to get home, he eagerly awaited for her to call him. But she never did.
As the day went on, Troy got the impression she must have just forgotten about him. So he decided to take a walk.
Today was a sunny, but chilly kind of day. The sky was clear, the air was clean and the birds were singing. As Troy walked down the street, he smiled at all the happiness around him.
Not knowing, or caring where he was going, Troy was not surprised when he ended up at Central Park. Not knowing anywhere better to go, he continued into the park.
As he was walking slowly, taking in all the peacefulness around him, he heard his name from behind him.
"Troy! Troy, wait!"
He turned around to see a running Gabriella coming toward him. He grinned from ear to ear. He opened his arms and she ran straight into them. She hugged him tightly, then let go.
"Hi Troy." She said smiling.
"Hi." He said. "When did you get back? I waited all morning." He asked.
"Oh, sorry, my plane got delayed on the way back." She said apologizing.
"Oh no you're totally fine. I was just wondering, that's all." He said. Then something came to him.
"Wait, how did you know I would be here?" he asked suspiciously.
She laughed. " When you weren't at your apartment, I figured you'd be here." She said with pride in her voice.
He laughed at this. She knows me too well. He thought to himself.
They started to walk slowly.
"So how was your trip?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Oh, it was wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing my family again." She said answering him.
"That's good." He said. They walked in silence for a moment or two.
"I missed you." Gabriella said softly.
Troy looked at her admiringly. "I missed you too." He said. Then, still holding eye contact, he pulled her to him and kissed her. It was a long, gentle, lingering kiss. When they broke apart, Gabriella let go of him, slightly smiling, but still in shock.
"How about we go get some ice cream?" she asked quickly, slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah, ok." He said, getting control of himself.
They walked to her car, and drove to the nearest creamery. And for the rest of the afternoon, they enjoyed each others company.

The next day, Troy felt like he had had a heavy burden taken off his shoulders. Now that Gabriella was back, his life seemed to be better. He was especially looking forward to his date he had with Gabriella that night.
He decided he was going to go and get her some flowers, so he drove to the little flower shop on the corner, right next to the hair salon. He went in and bought the most beautiful flowers he could find and started walking out the door when he bumped right into….
"Carly? What are you doing here?" he said completely shocked. Carly was his long ago and far away girlfriend. She had cheated on him, so he dumped her and decided it was safest to stay away from girls. At least until Gabriella same a long.
"Troy, like oh my gosh, what are you doing here?" she said with a sly smile on her face.
"What does it look like. I was buying some flowers." He said trying to get past her.
"Well how about a little kiss, before you go huh?" she said. "No! You know we're not together anymore." He said. Then before he could do anything else she had grabbed his neck and pulled him down in a hard kiss.
"Troy?" said a small voice to the right of him. It was Gabriella. She had just come out of the hair salon. She looked amazing. She had gone to get her hair done for their date.
Troy pushed Carly away to try to explain to Gabriella, but Gabriella was already in her car and driving quickly away. Troy ran, trying to catch the car, but wasn't fast enough.
"GABRIELLA! WAIT! Wait, please." He dropped to the ground, and put his face in his hands. Without even knowing it, tears started to fall from his eyes.
"What am I going to do? What oh what am I going to do?"
