Hi everyone! I just updated a little earlier because i had some extra time today which i didn't want to spend on learning for my exams! The chapter isn't really good though, because my thoughts weren't really with the writing, and i was kinda sad, so the chapters also kind of sad... coz a friend of my family died, and he really shouldn't have, he was way too young, he still had twenty years of his life ahead of him, and he was really healthy and stuff, and he sported a lot, but he just had a heart attack... and i'm really sad, because it is so weird to not have him around anymore, coz i've known him for all my life... And i'm really busy with my exams!

And thanks to my reviewers, i truly love you all!! you make me go on with this story, if it wasn't for you i would've stopped!

Well anyways here's the chapter i hope you like it!

Oh yeah, i realized i forgot to put a disclaimer with the other chapters (not that it's really necessary, coz youall know that i don't own HSM, but her it is: No i don't own HSM, i do dream about HSM though, especially Zac/Troy but well you know: some dreams come true, some don't, but keep on dreaming (yes i just love Pretty Woman :) )


"David!" as David arrived at school the day after playing basketball with Troy and Zeke all his friends came running up to him. Usually they would walk to homeroom together and joke around, but not today.

"Hey guys, sorry I gotta go. Gotta find someone." David quickly walked away, but his best friend Cameron followed him.

"Find who?"

"No one , I'll see you in class, bye Cam." David started to walk away, once again, but turned back around when Cameron suddenly burst out in laughter.

"Ok, what's so funny?"

"Hmm… well, nothing… apart from the fact that you and Emily are both trying to hide your feelings while it is sooooo obvious." Cammeron said in between his laughs, trying to catch his breath.

"What's obvious?" David asked innocently, knowing that Cameron would bring up the fact that he liked Emily.

"That you're head over heels in love with her, and that she loves you too."

"Cam, you're imagining things. I told ya that Emily and I don't have feelings for each other, we're just friends." David told his best friend

"whatever Dave, but uhm.. shouldn't you hurry?!" Cameron chuckled "You don't want Emily to be waiting for you, wondering where you are, do you?!"

"yeah you're right, I better get going" David turned and started to walk away. But suddenly he stopped and turned back "Cam, how did you know I was trying to find Emily?"

Cameron started to grin "like I said, it's obvious"

"Well, uh… we uh… uhm… were just going to work on our music project. You know we have the presentations soon, and I really need a good grade. And Emily needs a good grade too, and uuh…"

"Yeah.. and you two are going to sing a LOVEsong…! Told'ya it's obvious, well good luck with the girl dude." He winked and turned around leaving a shocked David behind. Is it really that obvious that I like her? Well, Cam is my best friend, so he probably knows it because he knows anything about me, I mean, I've known him since forever, I don't think others noticed.

"Whatever Cam" he shouted after Cameron who was just turning around the corner, not sure if he could still hear him.

"Yeah whatever Dave," He heard a distance voice shout back

Once again, David started to walk to Emily's locker. As he came closer, he saw that she was already standing there. What Cameron had said really had made him think. Did he really like Emily? Well, she was a beautiful girl, and she was really smart, and they had always had a lot of fun when they were together. Ok, yes he did like her, but he just couldn't like her. She was one of his best friends, and he had known her since, well… yeah.. forever. Nah, he couldn't like her…

"Hey Dave!" Emily exclaimed, clearly excited to see him. David snapped out of thoughts "What were you thinking about?"

"Ooh just how beautiful you are" he said in a joking way, while winking at her. He didn't want her to know that he was really telling the truth.

This earned him a smack in the head "Yeah sure"

"Nah, it was nothing really, just thinking 'bout some basketball stuff"

"David Mansell, you were NOT thinking about basketball. I know you're lying, you're a bad liar and you start blushing!"

"I'm blushing?!"

"Yeah, but don't worry, you look kinda cute when you blush" This time it was Emily's turn to wink at David. If only he knew that she really did think he was cute…

"Uh… well… uh, thanks I guess… So uh, let's practice the song for our music project." David quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah sure, let's go to the rooftop garden."

"Troy, what are you doing today?"

"I was planning on going to East High, to see if anything has changed"

"Ugh, didn't you just go there yesterday. When will you finally have some time for me?!" Rosanna complained

"I know I've been there yesterday, but I've only been in the gym. And I also know that I've been very busy lately, but we'll do something together soon, it's just that I have some things to do here in Albuquerque."

"What about me joining you today? You can just show me around your old High school, that would be fun!" Rosanna said excitedly

"uh, yeah sure" He didn't want Rosanna to be with him, and he didn't want to show her East High. He knew that today was going to be a strange day. It would be kind of awkward to show his fiancé around at the place that contained so many memories of him and his first love. Scratch that, of him and his only love. But he had left her so many times alone the last couple of days, that he felt like he had to take her with him.

The car ride to East High had been full of chatting, or actually, Rosanna had been chatting and Troy had just been nodding or giving simple answers like 'yes' and 'no'. He was mostly thinking.

When they had arrived, and walked into the school, Rosanna's breath was taken away. The whole school was decorated with red, white and gold banners, pictures, flags, etc…

"Wow, Troy, does it always look like this?" she asked, clearly amazed by the beauty of the decorations.

"Nope, only when a championship game is coming up. There is one next week against the West High knights. Ever since I became captain of the Wildcats , they haven't lost a game against the knights, and this won't be the time to break this tradition." While Troy said this he got a twinkle in his eyes, and he looked proud, really proud of the schools basketball team. Even though he wasn't on the team anymore, it was still 'his team' and he was still a Wildcat.

"Thought I was alone, with no one to hold but you were…"

Zeke walked up the stairs to the rooftop garden, Gabi and Troy's 'not so secret' secret spot. He was wondering who were the ones that were singing.

"Hey Dave, Em? Wow, didn't know you guys could sing. You know, you are really good singers!"

"Thanks Zeke, let's hope Ms Montez agrees with you. I really want a good grade for this project"

"I'm sure you will get a good grade. So is this the music project you were talking about Em?"

"Yeah it is" David and Emily said in unison

"Ok cool, so can you sing some more from me? I'd love to hear some more."

"Sure" David said, before going back to singing.

"I'ts hard to believe, that I couldn't see, you were always there beside me…"

"Ooh Troy, what's on top of these stairs? Let's go upstairs to see what is up there!" Rosanna exclaimed

"I- I'm not sure if we should go there Rosanna, I'd rather go there alone."

"But Why-hy" Rosanna whined "Why do you always want to do things alone, or at least without ME"

"Just because… because it would bring back too many memories'

"I thought that was the whole point of going here, the memories." Rosanna became a little angry and annoyed by now, Troy really had been behaving strange.

Ok, what do I say to her now? Troy thought to himself. I can't tell her that It will bring back memories of my ex-girlfriend, who I loved really much and still do. Imagine her reaction 'oh yeah well that's just because it makes me think of my ex-girlfriend, I was sooo in love with her, actually I still am…' Nope, that wasn't going to work out. Oh please, someone help me out of here…

"eehm, well yeah sure why not, we can go up there" Troy immediately regretted saying that, but now he had no choice anymore, he had to go through wit this. 'Stay strong, stay strong. You can do it Troy'

They walked up the stairs together, and when they almost reached the top they heard something. Someone was singing, and Troy recognized the words immediately, it was a very familiar song…

"I finally found, what I've been looking for"

"Wow, you guys sound amazing. This reminds me so much of Troy and Gabi. It was so sad when they had to break up, especially because they loved each other so much…"

When Troy heard this he burst out in tears and ran down the stairs. He wasn't just sobbing a little, he was really, really crying, tears streaming down his face.

"TROY! Where are you going?" Rosanna yelled at Troy, and tried to catch up with him

"Nowhere, just leave me alone, okay!"

Zeke, who was alarmed by Rosanna's yelling, ran after them, and caught up with Troy at the same moment Rosanna did.

"Ok, maybe you better leave Troy for a while Miss."

"No way, Troy here is my fiancé and I want to know why he freaked out when he heard those kids singing and heard you talk about this Gabriella girl" Rosanne demanded

"Your fiancé?!" Zeke said, raising his eyebrows, "Dud you got A LOT of explaining to do" Then he turned to Rosanna "so uh, what's your name?"

"Rosanna, and you better not forget that. Troy, I can NOT believe you didn't tell him about me"

"Wow Sharpay is nothing compared to her." Zeke mumbled, but unfortunately it was just loud enough for Rosanna to hear.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying there?!"

"Ooh really it was nothing. So uhm.. Rosanna, it was really nice to meet you, but I really think you should leave us alone now. You see, Troy and I need to talk."

"I'm not leaving, not until I know what is going on." Rosanna demanded

"I really think it is better for Troy if you left now." Zeke said, still trying to be calm and polite to Rosanna, even though he already knew he wasn't going to like her, not even a little bit.

"Rose, please leave us alone for a while" Troy finally spoke up, agreeing with his old high school friend.

"Ok whatever" Rosanna angrily looked down at Troy, who was sitting at the ground, tears still rolling down his face. "You keep pushing me away Troy, and I really don't know why" She flipped her hair and walked away.

"Dude, your taste in women really has changed" Zeke said chuckling "So you heard us at the rooftop right?"

Troy looked at his feet "Yeah, I did" a tear fell from his eye on the ground. "It is so weird, even though I haven't seen her since I moved I still love her, and I still miss her."

Zeke looked into Troy's eyes, seeing the sadness in them. "So what about Rosanna, do you love her?" Zeke's face had a 'you-can't-be-seriously-liking-her-expression'. And even though he already knew the answer, he just wanted to hear Troy say it.

"Yeah… No… I…" Troy didn't know what to answer to this "Yes, I think I do, but it's different then it was wit Gabi. But I don't think I'm in love with her, not anymore. She changed… Troy was silent for a while

"I changed too, coming back to Albuquerque changed me…"
