Chapter 9 - The new campus

This chapter is dedicated to wishing-is-wasting.

Here begins the college chapter

Several years later-

Troy Bolton, Zeke Baylor, Sharpay Evans, Taylor Mckessie and Chad Danforth stood outside their new college . Several years had flown by. All of them were adults now, as each of them stood outside their college they had a feeling of freshness and newness.

" This is it , guys, the beginning of a new era in our lives." A 20 year old Troy Bolton said to his friends. He had come passing out of his school with flying colurs and he even got a basketball scholorship. He was good looking(duh), with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes still twinkling , he had developed several toned muscles and abs and his dazzling smile could make girls melt.

Basketball would be his favourite sport , his passion.

He closed his eyes remembering one last time about his past - East High. He had achieved a lot there , he had made new friends , lost them , had dated several girls , had many girlfriends but he never had a girl upto his expectations , he termed them as materialistic dolls as they didn't appear to be real .

Still with his eyes closed he would hear a sweet giggle , and saw himself happier than ever with a girl , but all was a blur and he opened his blue eyes immeadiately to get the image out of his head.

He looked at his friends, it seemed they all had found their love Zeke had found Sharpay and Chad had found Taylor . Zeke and Sharpay were a couple but Chad and Taylor had not admit their feelings for one another though Troy knew they complimented each other perfectly.

He never felt left out but he knew he had not found his soulmate ,and he let his mind wander off to other things. He breathed a long breath , so long for love. He chuckled at his own thoughts. He would bet with anybody there would not be a single girl who would abandon a shopping trip for a game of basketball.

" Guys, are we just going to stand here , come on let's go." Sharpay squealed in her new pink dress.

"So are we ready ?" Taylor asked.

" Let's go" all of them said in unison.

As they carried their luggage over to thier rooms , they checked out the colledge. They liked it , it was spacious and green. Troy loked the basketball court, Taylor adored the library and Chad loved the canteen.

After a hearty meal all of them scattered. The boys decided to check out the basketball court. When they arrived at the basketball court , they found out that it was girl's basketball period. But the ball lay alone there forgotten in the midddle of the court and the girls were huddled in a corner , some chatting excitedly, some filing their nails, some reading magazines.

The boys exchanged knowing glances and shook their heads " Chicks" they muttered.

They entered the court which did not go unnoticed . As there were several ooohs and aaahs from the girls. Chad and Zeke decided to avoid them and Troy gave them a wink at which they giggled ferociously.

" Can we play here girls?" Troy asked with his charming smile.

" Yeah"

" Ofcourse"

" Suit Yourself"

Troy said a thankyou and grabbed the ball,

" So guys, lets play " Troy announced.

" Yeah, so What about the team?" Chad asked.

" Both of you against me ?" Troy asked with a smirk.

" Alright then."

They played the game and Troy was playing brilliantly like always and had scored more baskets than either of them. Zeke was just going to hit a basket when Troy jumped mid-air and diverted the route of the ball and dribbled it dodging Chad , he grinned at himself at how easy it was. He sprinted and jumped at was just about to hit a basket, he heard a voice and stopped -

" Hey, What are you doing here?"

--

So who do you guys think the voice belonged to? Any guesses? I will give you a hint - she is a girl , a brunettes girl .
