"Come on Gabs! Math class is summoning us!" he said. Gabriella giggled at the disappointed and slightly disappointed look on Troy's face.

"See you alter Wildcat." She said. She and Chad walked down the hall. Well, more like skipping. She and Chad acted like 3-year-olds whenever they were together.

The rest of the day went by smoothly. Gabriella silently hoping that she could stay 'undercover' from Alec.

Old Relationships Renewed
Chapter 10- Surprise Trips

Gabriella woke up the next morning feeling happy and well….happy. I mean, she has the best friends, the best boyfriend, and the best mom who made her favorite breakfast every morning. Chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and no syrup.

She quickly finished her breakfast and was out the door.

She was in the middle of organizing her locker when someone wrapped their arms around her waist and kissed her head.

"Hey beautiful." He said.

"Hi yourself." She answered giving Troy a quick kiss.

"You know, I'm going to miss those." He said kissing her again.

"What do you mean 'miss'?" she asked him.

"My parents and I have to leave for a few days to go to my aunt's baby shower. It's all the way in Kentucky. Wonderful right?" he asked.

"When are you leaving?" she asked him.

"Right after homeroom. My parents just told me this morning because they forgot. Imagine my surprise when I see them packing suitcases. I thought they were kicking me out." He said. She giggled.

"Promise you'll keep in touch and not fall in love with someone else. And that you won't forget me." She said.

"I promise." He said giving her another kiss.

Homeroom was over before they knew it and Gabriella gave Troy one last passionate kiss before he left. She watched him get into his parents' car and they drove off. She was walking down the hallway when her phone vibrated.

I miss u alredy the text message said. It was from Troy.

Wut r u tryin 2 do? Get me in truble? She answered smiling.

"Gabbi!" someone called her. She turned around and saw Taylor.

"Hey Tay! Are you okay?" she asked her. Taylor looked kind of tired and not herself.

"I have to leave for a day or so, my grandpa died yesterday." She said giving Gabriella a hug.

"Oh, I'm sorry Tay! I know you guys were close." She said rubbing her back.

"It's okay, really, I just wanted to let you know I'm leaving now. I'll miss you." She said.

"I'll miss you too." She answered. Taylor walked out to her mom's car and they drove off too.

"Nobody likes us anymore!" Chad exclaimed from behind her. She whipped around and smiled.

"I know!" she said. Her phone vibrated again.

"Oooooh! Boyfriend alert!" he said. She quickly shushed him as she looked around to make sure there were no teachers around.

May b. lol…I think I saw tays car pass a few seconds ago. It read. She replied.

Ya. She left cuz her grandpa passed away and she and her mom have to go 4 da funeral and stuff. Chad says hi btw. She replied.

Just a few seconds alter her cell vibrated again.

Tats a shame. She loved that guy. G2g…no phones on the plane. Ttyl. Love…Troy it read. She smiled at the last part.

Chad put a friendly arm around her shoulders and they walked to class. Gabriella didn't know this but Troy gave the team a heads up that nothing was to happen to Gabriella while he was gone. But Chad took it on as a responsibility for himself. He would personally make sure that she never came in harms way.

Gabriella was so bored all day that she kept track of how many times she yawned.

197

Yawn….198.

"Hey Gabs!" Chad called over to her. She looked up and saw him.

"Hey Chad!" she greeted.

"So…Jason and I were gonna have a one on one game later, I was thinking we could make it two on two…." He started.

"Sounds fun! I'll just have to see if anyone's free." She said.

"Awesome, just come to the gym, we'll be waiting." Gabriella smiled as she walked to find someone to ply on her team. Chad and she always played games together. It's like a bond they had. Just the two practically siblings.

"Sharpay!" she called to Sharpay's figure walking down the hallway.

"Hey Brie! What's up?" she asked.

"Well, you know how you always wanted to show everyone off? About how a girl can really play basketball? "Gabriella asked her. She nodded. Nobody else knew this, but Sharpay was insanely good at basketball.

"I have the perfect opportunity…Chad and Jason want to have a two on two game…them against me and someone else. Which hopefully will be you. What do you think?" Gabriella asked her.

"I say…let's do it!" she said. Before they knew it…Gabriella and Sharpay changed into sweats and sneakers and met Chad and Jason out on the court.

Chad and Jason started cracking up. "Oh please! I figured you'd bring some real competition!" Chad exclaimed. Sharpay shot daggers at him with her eyes

A half an hour later….

Sharpay was standing tall and proud next to Gabriella spinning a ball on her finger while both of them were smirking at the panting boys in front of them who lost miserably.

"Twelve to nine. Sounds like a good lead to me. What about you Gabriella?" she asked her.

"Agreed." She said.

After fifteen minutes of Jason and Chad attempting to convince the girls that they had let them win, they all went to their houses really knowing that the girls won.

Gabriella logged on her computer to find her friends on.

Gabriella finished her homework and made her dinner. She sat down in the living room and turned the television on and dug into her bowl of Mac and Cheese. She soon heard 'Hello Beautiful' by the Jonas Brothers playing. She scrambled across the room to her phone…

Hello Beautiful
How's it going?
I hear it's wonderful in California
I've been missing you its true

But tonight I'm gon-

"Hello?" she asked as she answered it.

"I bet that jump shot I taught you helped." Troy answered. Gabriella laughed.

"What happened to that 'I'm a natural' crap you were giving me?" she asked him.

"I never said you weren't a natural. I just want to think that I helped you cream Jason and Chad in a game." He said. She laughed again.

"So, I thought you were having dinner with the family?" she asked him.

"I escaped for a few minutes. I'm going to die of boredom." He said.

"Oh, don't die! I don't know what I'd do without you!" she replied.

"Nice to know. Ugh. I have to go…I love you Gabs." He said.

She could actually hear he sincerity in his voice. Not that he never said 'I love you' without that tone. But she could tell that he just wanted to crawl through the phone and be with her.

"I love you too Troy. Tell the family I said hello." She said.

"Will do. Bye." He said.

"Bye." She answered. They hung up.

She smiled as she walked back over to the couch and began to eat her dinner again as she watched a commercial for a new movie coming out. It was called 'A Perfect Life'.

I bet you mine is better. She thought.
