The sun shone brightly through her bedroom window, waking Gabriella up. It was half eight, she'd overslept and only had twenty minutes to get to school.

"Shit" she murmured quietly to herself. Racing to the bathroom she quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She added a modest amount of make up, some blusher and some mascara, and brushed her hair before leaving it cascading down her back. She ran quickly into her closet before deciding on a pair of denim shorts and a flowery vest top, with a brown cardigan. She put on her white ballet flats and grabbed her bag from under her desk before racing downstairs.

"Hey honey" Maria Montez said chirpy to her daughter. She carried on making herself a bowl of cereal.

"Would you like anything for breakfast dear?"

"I haven't got time mum" Gabriella said racing round the kitchen trying to find her mis-placed keys. Maria Montez grabbed a banana and a cereal bar from the counter and handed it to Gabriella.

"You need to eat something Gabby" Gabriella smiled sweetly, her mum was always so thoughtful. She placed her breakfast in her bag, she would eat it on her way to school. Waving good bye to her mum she walked out of the door and made her way to school.

The day went slow for both Troy and Gabriella. Especially Troy. He was anxious about whether or not his plan would work. He stayed up for a long time the night before trying to make it perfect. His plan came in three stages and tonight, she would find out stage one. He was scared, he knew it would take a lot to get her back and he just hoped what he had planned would be enough.

Gabriella walked into her house, locked the door and made her way into the living room. She placed her bag down next to her and sat on the black leather sofa. Turning on her flat screen television she began watching MTV. There was a knock on the door. Gabriella stood up and made her way over to open the door.

"Hello? Anyone there?" Gabriella looked outside but there was no one there.

"Thats strange" she thought. She looked around the corner and noticed a package by the tree in her front garden. Curiously she picked up the package and brought it inside the house. She sat at the dining room table and began carefully unwrapping it. It was decorated with a baby pink ribbon, tyed carefully around the package. Inside was a large scrapbook and a little card. The card was covered in lilac flowers and pink glitter. She began to read the card word by word.

Dear Gabby,

I know your angry at me and you have every right to be. I was the biggest jerk and i hurt you, and i feel so bad for doing that. I was stupid for trusting him, i should have listened to you but i didn't, and i can't turn back time. I made this last night for you, it took me a while but your worth it. You haven't got to forgive me, just look at the gift.

I love you gabby, i always will.

Troy

Gabriella couldn't hold her tears in any longer and let them fall freely down her cheeks. She quickly unwrapped the gift and her mouth hung open in shock. It was beautiful. The front was a cream cover and the words Troy and Gabriella were written in italics on the front. She carefully opened the scrapbook. There were pages and pages full of pictures and captions from when they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Troy had put so much effort into it and Gabriella knew that. She looked at the first picture, the same one that was still stuck onto the inside of her locker, the memory was one she would always remember. They had gotten together after being friends for so long the night before and had decided to go to the park with their friends. Sharpay had taken the picture, she said it was a cute moment.

"Gabby! Don't run away from me, you know i will find you" Troy shouted as Gabriella ran through some trees. Their friends were all sitting on the picnic blanket watching Troy and Gabriella chase each other around the park.

"Gabby, where are you i can't see you anyway" Troy was panicking a little bit now, he's lost her. Suddenly, he felt a light weight on his back. He heard her sweet laugh in his ear, and she kissed his cheek tenderly.

"You found me" she said sweetly. Troy chuckled, and began running quickly back over to their friends.

"Ahhhh Troy! Your going too fast" He slowed down a bit as he came into view of his friends. Hearing a click and a small flash of light Gabriella and Troy looked to the side of them and saw Sharpay holding her camera in her hand, smiling triumphantly.

"What? It was cute" Everyone laughed and spent the rest of the afternoon having a picnic, and just enjoying each others company.

Gabriella smiled. Her and Troy loved that photo so much. She kept it in her locker and she knew try used to keep it on the side of his bed, she wasn't sure if it was still there though, he had probably taken it off when he heard that rumour. Flicking through the pages so many amazing memories of her and Troy were remembered. She came across a photo she hadn't known had been taken but she remembered that evening clearly, like it was just yesterday.

Gabriella was in Troy's house Friday evening, they had decided to stay in an watch a movie and she was in the kitchen making popcorn.

"Troy" she called into the living room. Troy made his way into the kitchen and snaked his arms around her petite waist. He kissed her neck softly.

"Yes?"

"Do you have any ice cream?" Troy smiled, he knew his girlfriend was an ice-cream addict and he found it cute.

"Yeah i think i have some in the garage, chocolate fudge brownie?"

"My favorite." She smiled sweetly at him, and he chuckled slightly before heading off to the garage to fetch the ice cream.

A few minutes later they were curled up on the sofa, the lights dimmed eating ice cream and popcorn. Troy turned on the tv and changed the channel to watch she's the man. Soon enough Gabriella was asleep on his lap, his hands stroked her cheek tenderly and he smiled at the beauty sleeping next to him. He felt so lucky. Turning off the tv and placing the ice cream tub on the floor he shut his eyes and snaked his arms around Gabriell protectively before shutting his eyes and falling to sleep.

Lucille Bolton walked into the living room to see her son and his girlfriend asleep on the sofa. She placed a soft blanket comfortably onto both of them and took a picture with Troys phone that was on the side before walking out. The sight was too sweet for her to not capture.

All the memories came flooding back and Gabriella realised that she didn't want to play games anymore, she needed him more than ever. She knew her friends would be upset that she gave in easily and she knew she let herself down. She promised herself that she wouldn't let him suck her back in again. But, seeing all the pictures and the memories she didn't care. She loved him, and she needed him back in her life, even after all he'd done. I guess some would call her lovesick.
