Chapter 10
Gabriella and the kids sat down on the sofa.
"Your father and I met during high school..."
Gabriella Montez walked into East High nervously. Today was her first day and she planned to keep a low-profile and so far it was working. She didn't want to be the school's freaky genius girl again!
She quietly walked into homeroom, ignoring kids swapping summer stories and showing off new clothes. She sat down in the back and looked at her hands, pretending to be interested in her nails.
In fact, she was so preoccupied that she didn't notice a brown-haired blue-eyed boy staring at her.
"I trust you all had a splendid vacation!" Ms. Darbus's voice rang out. "Check the sign-up sheets in the lobby for new activities..." she eyed Troy who was still staring at the new girl. "...Mr. Bolton."
Troy quickly looked at Mss. Darbus.
Smiling, she continued, "Especially for our autumn musicale. There will individual auditions for our supporting roles and pairs audition for our two leads."
A black boy with wild curly hair stuck his thumb down, which was noticed by Ms. Darbus.
"Mr. Danforth, this is a place for learning, not a hockey arena!" Ms. Darbus yelled. Everyone knew how much she hated sports!
Ms. Darbus droned on and on and on about the musicale and almost everyone was falling asleep...except the Evans twins. They were Ms. Darbus's favorite students and co-presidents of the Drama Club.
Gabriella said, "Then during math class..."
Troy smiled and walked over to and said, "Hi. I'm Troy. You new here?"
The girl looked up. "Um, my name's Gabriella," the girl said shyly. Troy grinned.
"Then before lunch..."
Gabriella Montez turned toward the noise, when she heard a girl scream. When she saw the blonde throwing a tantrum, Gabriella frowned.
What's her problem? Gabriella wondered as she watched the blonde scream, "You're MINE!"
Gabriella watched as Troy walked up to her and said something.
"Enjoying the show?" someone asked Gabriella.
Gabriella turned and saw a black girl with an amused smile on her face.
"Sharpay Evans is so spoiled," the girl said, rolling her eyes. "I'm Taylor, by the way."
Gabriella said, "I'm..."
"I'm know who you are," Taylor interrupted. "Everyone does. After math, Chad said you're all Troy talked about. He said you were really pretty. You are."
Gabriella blushed. "Oh, um, thanks, Taylor."
Taylor smiled and said, "You have lunch next?" Gabriella nodded.
Taylor grinned, grabbed her hand and said, "Wanna sit with me? I have some friends that would LOVE to meet you."
Gabriella said, "Yeah, sure. But I have to buy my lunch first."
Taylor said, "Don't buy the lunch! I swear, it's poisoned. You can have my potato chips."
They entered the cafeteria and walked over to a table. Two other girls were already sitting there.
"And then she introduced me to two other girls..."
Hannah was the first to speak. "I've heard about you. You're all Troy Bolton talks about. I'm gonna have to bring ear plugs to Drama Club."
"Why?" Gabriella asked.
"Because, Sharpay's probably really mad by now. And when she's mad, she screams," Hannah explained. "Everyone knows how much Sharpay likes Troy. And when she wants something, she doesn't rest until she gets it. No matter how far she has to go. She once even..."
"Hannah," Kelsi warned. "I really don't think you should tell Gabi that. It might scare her."
"Yeah," a deep-voice said.
The girls looked up and saw Troy standing with his lunch.
"Mind if I sit here, Gabi?" Troy asked, smiling.
"Um, well, um," Gabriella stuttered. "Um, you can sit here."
Troy smiled wider and sat down next to her. Then he turned to Hannah and said, "You can tell her the story, but I don't think she wants to hear it.
Gabriella said, "No, I'll be fine. Go ahead, Hannah."
"And Hannah told me that story about Pam Smith, which was true. And then that weekend, your father asked me to be his girlfriend..."
"Listen, um, Gabi, I know we've only known each other for a few days," Troy said. "But, um," he took off the ring from his hand and turned to Gabi.
"Will you wear my team ring and promise to be girlfriend?" Troy asked.
Gabriella stared at the ring. She was about to say yes but then thoughts ran through her brain. They had only known each other for a few days and Gabriella didn't completely trust him. Just 99 of the time. And Troy was the most popular boy in school. And Gabriella didn't want to end up like Pam Smith.
"Uh," Gabriella stammered. "I'll think about it."
"But you said yes later, right?" Isabella asked. Gabriella nodded, saying, "Right after Sharpay threatened me..."
"Hi, Gabriella," a voice said. Gabriella turned around and was surprised to see...Sharpay Evans.
"Oh, um, Sharpay, hi," Gabriella said. "What are you doing here?"
Sharpay crossed her arms and sneered, "I'm sure you're very aware of Troy's big crush on you."
Gabriella nodded and blushed a little.
"Well," Sharpay said, "That's going to be over soon. You know why? Because Troy is mine! I'm the most popular girl in school, which means I should be dating Troy. In fact, he doesn't like you. Zeke, one of Troy's teammates, told he was just playing with you."
"Troy would never do that!" Gabi insisted. "Besides, I told Troy I would think about being his girlfriend."
"Well, say no," Sharpay ordered. "You don't want to get hurt, do you?"
"I trust Troy," she said. "I'm going to tell him I will be his girlfriend."
Sharpay narrowed her eyes and walked away.
Gabriella walked toward the gym and was glad to see Troy there.
"Hey, Troy," she called out. Troy stopped playing with his basketball teammates and smiled when he saw Gabriella.
"Um, Hi, Gabi," Troy said. His teammates wolf-whistled.
"Remember what you asked me on Saturday?" Gabriella said. Troy nodded.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you...yes," she said. Troy's eyes widened.
"Really?"
Gabriella nodded. She watched as Troy took off his ring and slipped it on Gabriella's ring finger.
The Wildcats cheered as Troy and Gabriella shared a kiss.
"Gross!" Trevor exclaimed.
"That's what Sharpay thought," Gabriella said. "And then she got desperate..."
Sharpay walked in the next day, wearing the skimpiest outfit in the history of skimpiest outfits. ("I'm not mention what she wore," Gabi said).
As she walked past Troy, she said, "Hey, Troy."
"Hey, Zeke," Sharpay said. Zeke stared at her.
"Wow, have you been working out?" Sharpay asked, squeezing Zeke's arm. "You look so cute today! That shirt looks so good on you."
Zeke smiled before saying, "Uh, you look great, too."
Sharpay giggled. She looked around and saw Gabriella.
"Yoohoo! Gabi!" she called out. Gabriella looked at her confused.
Sharpay pulled her into a hug and whispered, "Troy's mine, slut." She walked past Troy, shaking her hips.
Gabriella watched Sharpay angrily. But she got even more angry when she saw Troy staring at the blonde with wide eyes.
Gabriella walked up her to Troy and said, "Hey, Troy."
Troy turned to her. "Hi, Gabi." He smiled at her.
Gabriella couldn't help but feel critized when Troy looked at her. She felt like Troy was comparing her simple outfit to Sharpay's sexy one.
"Do you know why Sharpay's wearing those weird clothes?" Troy asked. "They kind of scared me."
Gabriella laughed with relief.
"I don't know and I swear I have nothing to do with it!" she promised. Troy smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist.
At their homeroom classroom, Troy sat down. Gabriella was about to sit next to him when Sharpay pushed past her and sat down next to Troy.
"Hi, Troy," Sharpay said with batting eyelashes. She looked at Gabriella and acted surprised. "Oh, I'm sorry, Gabs. Were you gonna sit here?"
Before Gabriella could respond, Sharpay answered, "Well, you'll just have to find another seat since this one's taken."
"No, Gabi," Troy said. "Uh, Sharpay," he said. "Couldn't you move? I want to sit next to my girlfriend."
Sharpay flinched at the word "girlfriend". Obviously, her plan to steal hadn't worked.
She shot the couple her fake smile and said, "Sure."
Gabriella sighed. "But Sharpay didn't give up..."
Gabriella watched Sharpay carefully the next day. Gabriella knew that the Ice Queen was up to stealing Troy, but she wasn't going to let her.
She watched Sharpay say something to Troy and then Zeke. Gabriella sighed.
Just then she heard Zeke say, "Um, hey, Gabi."
Gabriella smiled. "Hi, Zeke."
"Listen, um, I need some food testers to taste my cookies," Zeke said. "Could you..."
Gabriella smiled and said, "Sure. What am I supposed to do? Just eat a cookie and tell you if it's good or not?"
Zeke put his arm around her and said, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."
"And Dad thought you were cheating on him," Trevor said.
Gabriella nodded...
Gabriella walked into the cafeteria and looked around for a place to sit.
Then suddenly she heard someone yell, "Want to sit with me, Gabs?" It was Zeke. Gabi smiled and sat next to him.
Isabella said, "And Dad got jealous and he broke up with you?"
Again, Gabi nodded...
Gabriella laughed as Zeke told her a funny story about what happened one time during Home Ec. It was right before basketball practice and they were hanging out in a spare classroom.
Suddenly there was a loud bang and Zeke and Gabriella saw that Troy had slammed the door open.
"So this is why you wanted to be my boyfriend?" Troy asked. "Because you wanted to get close to Zeke?"
Gabriella gasped. "Zeke is just a friend..."
"So it's still not Zekey yet, huh?" Troy interrupted. "I ask you to be my girlfriend and you go hitting it off with one of my best friend. Excuse me...'former' best friend."
Zeke frowned. "Dude, there's nothing between us!'
Troy yelled, "I'm not an idiot! I saw you two flirting with each other! And don't argue, Zeke, 'cause I know it's true! And if you go any further, I'm going to make sure you're off the baskteball team!"
Zeke clamped his mouth shut at that.
Before Troy left, he muttered, "Practice is about to start. And don't expect me on Friday, Gabriella, we're through."
Zeke sighed and patted Gabriella, who was crying.
"I'm sorry, Gabi," Zeke said. "I was just trying to be nice to you. I didn't think Troy would get he wrong idea..."
Gabriella smiled weakly at Zeke. "I'll be fine. Just go to practice."
Zeke nodded. But he didn't leave without giving her more cookies. "They're M&M's. I know how much you like them."
Gabriella smiled. "Thanks," she mumbled.
"But then Troy found out what Sharpay did..."
Gabriella walked over, ignoring Troy's glaring and the snickering Sharpay.
"Hi, guys," Gabi said softly. Taylor smiled encouragingly. Chad got up and hugged Gabi, which caused everyone to gasp.
"It'll be all over after homeroom," Chad whispered. "I promise."
Gabriella was taken aback for a few seconds before nodding, but with doubt. How could it be over after homeroom? It wasn't like there was going to be something that proved to Troy that she wasn't cheating on him...
"All right, class," Ms Darbus boomed out, closing her door. "It's time to watch the announcements."
As she turned the TV on, Taylor watched the TV anxiously. Chad did the same.
"Good morning, East High," Keely said in her "anchorwoman" voice. "And welcome to another week of high school. Now today we are showing a video which was dedicated to our certain basketball captain. So, Troy, I hope you're watching this."
Gabi watched Troy grab Sharpay's hand and felt tears welling up in her eyes.
The screen changed. This time it showed Sharpay talking to Zeke in the hallway.
"So did Troy break up with Gabriella?" Sharpay asked. Zeke nodded.
Sharpay clapped. "Great! Of course, I kind of figured that out when Troy asked me out for Friday. So I won't be needing your help anymore."
"Help with what?" Zeke asked.
"Help with breaking Troy and Gabriella up," Sharpay answered in a 'duh'-voice. "It's about time Troy started paying attention to me like he should be. The Spanish slut should go out with some nerd, since she's one herself."
The video ended.
"And that's all for today," Keely said. "Have a great day, everyone."
Ms. Darbus turned off the TV. It was pretty obvious she was startled, just like everyone else.
"Well," Ms. Darbus said. "That was very interesting." She cleared her throat and pretended like nothing was wrong for the rest of homeroom.
Troy turned and looked at Gabriella, who was blinking in surprise. When the bell rang, no one moved but Gabriella. She walked up and left the room in tears.
"He apologized right before math class..."
"Uh, hey, Gabi," Troy said nervously. Gabriella looked up at him with a frightened look on her face.
Troy bit his lips and sat down next to her.
"Hey, that's my seat," a boy whined.
Troy narrowed his eyes at the boy. "Too bad."
The boy sat down in another seat, scared that Troy would blow his top.
Finally, the teacher came and math class began. After what felt like years, class was over.
"Hey, Gabi," Troy called out. Gabriella didn't turn around. Instead, she just walked faster.
But Troy's long legs caught up with her quickly.
"Look, Gabs," he started.
"Shouldn't you be with Sharpay?" Gabriella asked coldly.
Troy said, "I'm sorry. I guess I was just scared of losing you that..."
Gabriella looked at Troy. Suddenly, she burst into tears. Troy drew her into a hug. Gabriella cried into his shirt.
"I'm so sorry, Gabs." Gabriella looked into Troy's blue eyes.
Troy wiped her tears away and kissed her passionately in the middle of the hallway.
"Exactly how many times did you kiss?" Trevor asked. Isabella hit him on the head.
"And Sharpay thought it was me who put exposed that video..."
"So, you're all happy," Sharpay exclaimed to Gabriella.
"I didn't do anything," Gabriella said.
Sharpay huffed. "Don't lie to me!"
"She's not lying," Taylor said. "I did it! You deserved it, Sharpay."
"And then the party..."
"So, um, Rick's party, um...are you sure they're safe?" Gabriella asked nervously.
Troy laughed. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. And I brought some drinks, since the ones at Rick's parties are always spiked."
Gabriella gulped nervously and grabbed Troy's hand.
Troy sighed when they arrived at Rick's house. Gabriella got out of the car and Troy put his arm around her.
When Troy opened the front door, he heard music blaring and saw teenagers dancing and socializing.
Troy and Gabriella walked over to the couch and sat down. Gabriella seemed to relax, but that was before she saw a couple making out.
Troy kissed the top of his girlfriend's head.
"Don't worry," Troy whispered. He opened up one of the bottles of water he had brought and handed it over to Gabriella.
"I'm a bit hungry," Troy said. "I'm gonna go get something to eat."
Gabriella nodded. "But hurry." Now she desperately wished she wasn't wearing a tank top that showed off her figure.
"And then your father cheated on me. I told Taylor everything. And then we went on a double date...
"Gabi, Ryan, Taylor, and Chad walked into Albee's on Saturday. Gabi and Taylor were wearing identical mini dresses, excpet Gabi's was red and Taylor's was black.
Just as Ryan promised, he made reservations for four at Albee's.
"Ah, yes, under Ryan Evans," the waiter said. "Follow me, please."
The two "couples" followed the waiter to a table. The waiter handed them each a menu.
"It's on me, guys," Ryan offered. "So order whatever you want. My dad owns the resutaurant so the people here gives me discounts."
"You're well connected," Chad said.
Ryan nodded with a smile. Gabi laughed.
"Your dad was there, too..."
Gabriella heard someone call out, "Yoohoo! Ryan!"
The entire table turned to look at Sharpay...and Troy.
"Oh, hey, Sharpay," Ryan said. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going shopping with Francesca."
"I was, but Troy asked me out," Sharpay answered. Chad blinked in surprise. "So we decided to come to Albee's,' Sharpay said. Her smile faltered a littler when her eyes landed on Gabi.
"Oh, Gabi," Sharpay said. "Surprise seeing you here."
"She's my date!" Ryan said. "But I guess you're too thick to know that."
Sharpay gasped. "Excuse me?"
"Face it, Sharpay," Ryan said, standing. "You're spoiled and you know it! You don't want to face the fact that Troy doesn't like you. You're too selfish to even think that Gabi's prettier and smarter and nicer than you, when she is." Ryan looked at Gabi and smiled.
Gabi blushed and grinned back. Ryan turned back to his twin. "And I'm sick and tired of being lapdog! I don't want to stand back and let you tormet innocent people! I don't want people to think I'm like you! I'm sick of being known as Sharpay's brother. I'm Ryan, but you took that identity away from me!"
Chad stood up and patted Ryan on the back. "Way to go, man."
"You're just jealous because I'm more popular than you are!" Sharpay screamed.
"Sharpay," Taylor said. "You're not popular. People are just scared of you. And I don't blame them."
Sharpay grabbed Troy's arm.
"Troysie, you know me best," Sharpay said. "Tell them I'm not like that! Tell them!"
"Guys," Troy said.
Everyone looked at him, except Sharpay was casting a smug look on Gabi's face.
"I'm sorry. You're right. I don't know why I'm out here with Sharpay."
Everyone smiled, but Sharpay. She huffed and walked out of the restaurant.
"Gabi," Troy muttered. Gabi turned to look at him.
"I'm sorry," Troy whispered. He held her hands. "It's just that, I went and got myself drunk and Sharpay was standing there and I don't know what came over me. I'm truly sorry. I understand if you won't forgive me."
Gabi looked at Troy. She looked down at her hands and saw that she was still wearing Troy's team ring. "Troy," Gabi said. Troy looked at her expectantly.
Gabi smiled.
So we got back together, but your father fell for another one of Sharpay's tricks again..."
Gabriella and Troy were at the park because Troy had wanted to ask her something. After a while, they heard someone crying. They got a closer to a blonde girl and saw it was Sharpay...crying.
Troy sat down next to her.
"Hey, Sharpay," he said softly. Gabi watched the whole scene, shocked. Sharpay, the horrible Ice Queen, was crying!
Sharpay looked up and Troy was swept over with sorrow when he saw Sharpay's tear-streaked face.
"Uh, is there anything wrong?" Troy asked. Sharpay sniffed and shook her head. "No, I'm fine."
"No, you're not," Troy insisted.
Sharpay finally burst into sobs.
Troy patted her back. "What's wrong?"
Sharpay looked up and said, "Nobody likes me! They call me the Ice Queen. Even Ryan doesn't like me anymore! And you hate me and Gabi hates me and..."
She stopped and started crying again. Troy put his arm around her.
"Hey, hey, look at me," he said softly. "A lot of people like you. You just don't see it yet. And I don't hate you. I'm sorry that you got hte wrong message"
Gabi watched with jealousy. Troy had never done that when she was crying. All he did was grab her hands and say he was truly sorry. He never leaned iin like he was doing with Sharpay. And Troy seemed to be paying a lot of attention to the blonde.
Gabi felt even more jealous when Troy hugged Sharpay. What made her more angry though was Sharpay's victorious smile, which Troy couldn't see...but Gabi could.
So this was just another plan to steal Troy. Gabi left the park, ignoring a red-haired boy near the gate. She walked home.
"But your dad realized that Sharpay was tricking him and I forgave him. Then we got married while I was pregnant with you, Trevor..."
"Looks like you're pregnant," a doctor said. She smiled at Gabi, who was very shocked.
Gabi and Troy looked at each other. They left the hospital. Suddenly, Troy got down on one knee.
"Um, Gabi," Troy said. "I know you really weren't expecting this in front of a hospital, but..."
He took a diamond ring and said, "Will you marry me?"
Gabriella gasped. Then she said, "Well, Troy, we're not even out of college yet..."
"Please?" Troy begged. "I want to live my life with you, Gabs."
Gabi had accepted and they had announced their engagement six months later...
"Six months?" Isabella and Trevor both exclaimed.
Gabriella said, "Yes. We got married two days later..."
Gabriella stood next to Troy and smiled as the minister said the wedding speech. Then Troy and Gabi said their wedding vows and waited for objections. Troy and Gabriella half expected for an objection, but none came. After the rings were exchanged, the minister turned to Troy and said, "You may now kiss the bride."
Troy and Gabriella locked lips and shared a passionate kiss.
When they pulled apart, the minister announced, "I pronounce you husband and wife. Ladies and gentleman, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton."
The room was filled with cheers. There were some exceptions, but most of the guest were screaming with joy.
"We had our honeymoon in Hawaii, but Sharpay was there, too and..."
The blonde walked over to the couple and cried out, "Hi! Gabriella, how are you?"
Gabriella and Troy stared at Sharpay like she was an alien from outer space.
"I'd never thought of running into you guys at a party," Sharpay exclaimed. "With Gabriella pregnant and all. How's the baby doing?"
Troy nodded and said, "Great. We came up with names fro the baby."
"Ooh," Sharpay said, pretending to be interested. "What are you going to call it?"
Gabriella replied, "Trevor Chad Bolton for a boy and Isabella Kelsie Bolton for a girl."
"So, uh, do you wanna go swimming?" Sharpay asked Gabriella. The brunette shook her head. "I think I'll stay on the beach.
Sharpay turned to Troy. "What about you, Troy?"
Troy looked at Gabriella. Before, he could respond, Sharpay stripped off her sundress, revealing her bikini.
"Come on," Sharpay said. "It'll be fun. Hannah's over there, too."
Troy said, "Um, well, uh...Uh, um, well, I guess it w-would be okay." He turned to his wife. "Right, Gabriella?"
Gabriella plastered on a fake smile and replied, "Yeah, sure, say hi to Hannah for me. Tell her..."
But Sharpay had already grabbed Troy's hand and they were running towards the water. Gabriella frowned. Troy had called her "Gabriella" and she noticed that Troy was staring at Sharpay's...chest. And he hadn't even said no. He could've said no to look after Gabi, but instead he went with Sharpay, and didn't even listen when Gabi was about to say where she was gonna be.
Gabriella looked at the water and saw Troy and Sharpay happily splashing each other. People were watching them with bright smiles. Gabriella could read them perfectly. "What a cute couple they make." the faces said.
At that moment, she wished she hadn't gotten pregnant. Then she would've been able to wear a bikini and make Troy like her more. She would've been able to join Sharpay and Troy in the water, but she couldn't for the baby's safety.
At that moment, she even wished she had never met Troy.
But she shook those thoughts away.
Gabriella smiled. Troy had never broken a promise before.
But her smile faded when she saw the most dreadful thing ever.
Troy kissed Sharpay...
"Then we broke up..."
She said softly, "We're over, Troy. I think it's best for the baby." She finished packing and zipped up her suitcase. Gabriella said, "I've given you so many chances, Troy, but..."
"And then I had you, Trevor..."
Gabriella felt something trickle down her leg.
"Guys," she said.
Taylor and Troy didn't hear her and kept arguing.
"Why did you kiss Sharpay?" Taylor yelled.
"Mind your own business! That's between me, Gabi, and Sharpay" Troy screamed back.
"Guys," Gabriella called out louder.
Taylor and Troy still didn't hear her.
"Gabi is my best friend!" Taylor pointed out.
"AAHHHHHHHH!" Gabriella screamed when she hit her contraction.
Taylor looked at her friend in panic.
"The baby's coming now?" she said. "But it's not due until next month!"
"Who cares? Just get her to the hospital!" Troy yelled, grabbing Gabi's hand.
"We got back together. But your father told me he was going to a different college..."
Okay, Gabi," Troy said. "Now when I proposed to you I thought we were both gonna go to UCLA."
"We are, right?" Gabi said.
Troy hesitated. Then he shook his head.
Gabi gaped. "But we just made up two days ago!"
"I'm not breaking up with you, Gabi," Troy assured her. "We're gonna get through this. We can do it."
"How?" Gabriella said. "I'll be in UCLA and you'll be in Stamford."
"But their both in California," Troy pointed out. "And there not that far from each other. We can still call each other and write letters. You know, keep in touch. And we can visit each other during the holidays. We can even go to Ryan and Gloria's wedding together."
Gabriella smiled weakly. She couldn't believe that Troy wasn't breaking up with her. And she was glad.
"Promise me we'll get through this," Gabriella said.
Troy took her hands and kissed them. He leaned and whispered, "Promise." Then he kissed her passiontely.
"Then what happened?" Trevor asked.
Gabriella sighed. "It was our last year of college. You were only three, Trevor. Your father told me the truth about what he was doing..."
"I love you, Sharpay," he said absentmindedly while kissing Gabi.
Gabi pushed him away. "Sharpay?" Troy seemed to realize his mistake and bit his lip.
"What's going on, Troy?" Gabi said. "What does Sharpay have to do with this?"
Troy sighed. "Sharpay goes to Stamford, too, Gabi."
"So?" Gabi asked. "You're not breaking up with me, are you? It's not like you're cheating on me...right?"
Troy looked at Gabi. "I'm sorry.
Gabi broke into sobs and exclaimed, "I trusted to, Troy! It was YOU who said this relationship was gonna work! And then you got fed up waiting for me so you hook up with someone else! How long have you been cheating on me?"
Troy said, "Gabi, I...I don't love you anymore."
There was silence before Gabi finally stammered, "Y-you don't? B-but what about T-Trevor? And I j-just found out t-that I'm p-pregnant with y-your baby."
"I'm sorry, Gabriella," Troy said. "But I love Sharpay now. I realize I didn't love you. It was just a crush. I'm sorry."
Then he had walked out of her life.
Gabi had finished college and had taken Trevor to New York. Isabella was born at the airport in New York and Gabi had lost contact with everyone.
"I became a teacher," Gabi said. "You guys grew up and now we're back here. I tried so hard to hide it from you guys. But...I guess secrets always come out somehow."
By now, Isabella was crying. Trevor was staring at his hands. It was obvious he was trying to control his temper.
Suddenly, the door burst open and someone said, "I can't believe it!"
Gabi looked up and saw...
Ooh, who did Gabi see? Read the next chapter to find out.
I hope the chapter wasn't 2 long. hehe.
