"So it's your day off?"Gabriella said starting conversation as the two entered the cafe."Yep."Troy answered as he ordered their drinks.

"That's cool."Gabriella said.

"Yeah definitely."troy responded."So how was school?"

"How was school? You make it sound as if im in highschool!"Troy laughed.

"Well technically you are because you're around kids all the time."

"Well that doesn't count. So how's the building coming along?"

"Pretty good. We're hoping that we get it built by next year."

"really?"

"Yeah, but we started a bit late so I dont really think that's gonna happen."Troy said chuckling.

"Yeah I guess."

"So tell me more about yourself, im sure being a kinder garden teacher isn't all of it."Please, who knows me better than you? "Um, nothing really. I'm just and everyday person."

"Oh don't give me that.Do you still sing?"

"Not really."You can thank George for that

"You?"

"No unfortunately my singing career has ended."

"Aww, what about basketball?"

"Still playing, still the champion.'

"Yeah right."

"Is that a challenge?"Suddenly all the crying and yelling due to George cleared away from her mind.

"Maybe it is, maybe it's not."Gabriella teased.

"Okay, when and where?"Troy said crossing his arms against his chest and smirking.

"How about right now?"Gabriella said, standing up.

"I don't know. I don't wanna hurt your feelings when you lose."

"Oh you mean when you lose."Gabriella responded.

"We'll see."Troy said as they exited into his car."Let's go to my place and find out."

"Okay."Gabriella said more excited than usual. As the two arrived to his house, memories of them playing against eachother floated into her mind.Gabriella couldn't help but smile.

"What?"Troy asked.

"Nothing."Gabriella responded."This place is beautiful."

'"Thanks."troy said as he led her into his backyard."Wow."Gabriella said as she stared into a backyard/basketball court.

"Just like your old house."

"Yep.Couldn't stay away from basketball."troy said as he grabbed a ball from the floor.

"So let's see what, Ms.Kinder garden teacher's got."troy said as he handed her the basketball.

"You'll see."Gabriella responded as she perfectly shot a three pointer.Swoosh! "Oooh."Troy said as he looked at the rim.Gabriella laughed.

"You've got some game after all."Troy commented as he dribbled the ball.

"Yep.Get ready Troy Bolton."

"You let me win!"Gabriella said she crossed her arms as if she was 5."Troy laughed.

"Who said that?"

"I did!I want a rematch!"

"Rematch i've already sweated my self out!"Troy complained as he lay down, tired.Gabriella laughed. It seemed like old times were coming back.

"Well why don't u get back your energy while going for a walk?"she offered.

"I dunno you might chase me down the street and I might sweat even more!"Gabriella laughed."Come on Troy.Pleeeze!"She teased. After little effort Troy nodded his head.

"Ok ok fine, but let me take a shower first."Troy got up and took off his shirt as he entered the house.Gabriella had to refrain from immensely blushing. "Just make yourself comfortable and i'll be back in a few!"Troy called as he went up the stairs.

"Will do!"Gabriella responded as she sat on the couch.Wow this place is so comfortable.Ofcourse it's not as big as George's but it's way more cozy.Gabriella though as she stared at a few pictures on the walls.

"Aww there's Chad."She said as she was a picture of the two smiling.She looked on to others.

"Look at Mrs.Bolton."Gabriella muttered as she saw Troy's mother smiling perfectly in a frame.Gabriella let her eyes wander until she came across a specific picture and scoffed.Who the hell is that!She immediately glared at a picture with Troy and a girl next to him, which in Gabriella's eyes was one word, and not the best word either.Who the hell does she think she is! Looking like that next to him!Uh what a--

"Like the picture!"

"Eeek!"Gabriella jumped surprised.Troy laughed.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you."

"Hey troy, who's that?"Gabriella asked before thinking.

"That's one of my co-workers, Sam. She's really nice once you get to know her."Gabriella silently breathed a sign of relief.wait! why should I care I'm married for god's sake!

"So ready for that walk."troy suggested as he opened the front door.

"Absolutely!"Gabriella said as they exited the house.

"So, Mr.Troy is still the NBA basketball fanatic."Gabriella teased as they walked a few blocks from Troy's home.

"Yep. Im the champion."Gabriella laughed.

"Sure Troy."

"Hey i'm just saying."

"Ok."

"And you? How's the teacher fanatic doing?"Gabriella smiled.

"she's being the best kinder garden teacher in the world!"

"Oh and im cocky."Troy commented as they turned a corner.

"No you're different."

"How?"

"Because I said so!"

"Oh yes another 'because I said triumphs the fight."

"Yep!"Gabriella said filled with laughter."Oh man I haven't had this much fun in a long time."troy said.

"Me either.I haven't had this much fun since--GEORGE!"Gabriella stopped dead as the all too familiar car pulled up on the side walk.

"George?"Troy asked confused, as the car door opened."Who's George?"

"I am."George said as he exited the car and walked onto the pavement.Gabriella could feel her heart rate double.

"Oh my god.What are you doing here!"Gabriella choked out.

"I've been looking all over for you!That's what im doing here. I don't know what you think you're trying to pull but it's over."

"Why can't you just go!"Gabriella said on the verge of tears.

"Wait, I am so confused."Troy interrupted."How do you guys know eachother?"

"We're married."George answered. There was a brief silence, then Gabriella felt two pairs of eyes on her, one full of anger, and the other full of shock and hurt.

"Is this true?"Troy almost whispered as Gabriella finally exploded.Painfully she looked at him and nodded.Troy's mouth dropped open.

"You're married!Are you kidding me!"

"Troy please--"

"No don't please anything! How could you not tell me!!"

"Troy."Gabriella begged fully in tears by this point.

"I can't believe you!After everything we talked about. All this time, all this time you've been lying to me!"

"No--"

"That's bull Gabriella!"

"Troy--"

"So what's your real last name, huh?!"

"Plea--"

"You know what forget it, I don't wanna hear anything about it, or you ever again!"with that, Troy immediately turned around and ran to his house.

"Troy wait!"Gabriella called, not getting any response.

"Oh so what? Have you been hanging around with some guy behind my back?!"George screamed as Gabriella bursted with tears.

"Well?!"

"I--"

"I can't believe you! You stupid bitch!Get in the car!"Already feeling like she was broken in two, Gabriella had no other choice but to get in the passengers seat and start the miserable, tear filled, ride home.
