Remembering the Past

The Firsts

"So umm..we first met when we were in kindergarten. It just so happens that we were in the same school and we were neighbors." Troy said.

"Wow, Tell me more about it." Gabi said curiously as they sat down in a bench."

"Ok so our first meeting went like this.."

Flashback

"Ok, class we have a new student. Her name is Gabriella and please be nice to her, boys and girls. Gabriella, please sit there." The teacher said pointing to an empty seat beside a boy.

Gabriella shyly went to the sit where the teacher told her to sit and she found herself sitting next to a red-haired girl with green eyes to the left and a shaggy brown-haired boy with amazing blue eyes to the right.

Gabriella turned to the girl to her left and said, "Hi my name is Gabwiella. Whats yours?"

The red-haired girl rudely turned her back against her and Gabriella felt like crying.

The blue-eyed boy saw this and said, "Hey, don't cwy! Shirley is always like that. She is mean to evewyone!"

Gabriella turned to him, brown meeting blue and nodded, wiping tears away.

"I'm Twoy by the way. What's yours?"

"Gabwiella. My mom and I just moved here."

"That's a nice name. Can I call you Bwie? Its too hard saying your name." Troy said while rubbing the back of his neck which Gabriella thought was cute.

Gabi giggled and said, "Sure!"

Since then, they played like they were best of friends and they were even more excited when they found out they live next to each other.

End of Flashback

"Wow. That's cute." Gabi said.

"Yup." He said.

"Ok, how about.. did we ever fight or argue?"
Troy laughed at that memory and said, "Yeah. We were in 5th grade and we have met the gang already. It was a very silly fight, actually. So our first fight was like this…"

Flashback

Troy and Gabi were walking down the hallway of their school angrily as they faced each other. The gang looked at each other wondering why they were like this.

"Admit it!" They said at the same time.

"Admit that you stole favorite basketball Gabriella! You are the only one that goes up to my room besides my parents!"

"What are you talking about? I never stole your Basketball, Troy! But please do admit that you stole my bear. My favorite teddy bear!"

"I never did that!"

Troy and Gabi were mad at each other until the school day ended. They went to their respective homes.

"Hey Troy! Here's the basketball you were looking for. Your cousin came over and borrowed it for a little while. I guess your mom forgot to tell you and me about it." Jack said while tossing the ball to Troy.

All Troy could say was, "Oh no!"

At the same time, Gabi went up to her room finding her mother putting her teddy bear on top of her bed.

"Mom! That's my bear!"

"I know! I told one of our helpers to get it washed. It was so dirty." Maria said smiling at her daughter.

Again, all Gabi said was, "Oh no."

Troy and Gabi started running in front and were going over to each other's house when they ran to each other.

"Troy!"

"Brie!"

And with that, they both started laughing. They told each other the story and laughed again when they finished.

Their friendship became stronger.

End of Flashback

"Ok, that was very funny." Gabi said laughing.

Troy said laughing, "I know! It was very silly."

"Now tell me about our relationship. You know, romance?" Gabi said now turning serious.

"Sure. When we were in 8th grade, I started liking you so I had the courage to actually ask you out but it wasn't anything official. The night after that we went to our first date…"

Flashback

Maria saw Troy fidgeting in his seat in their living room as he was waiting for Gabriella to come down for their first date.

"Troy, don't worry. Everything will be alright!" Maria said.

Before Troy could answer, Gabriella came down the stairs wearing stunning yet simple floral dress (picture the one she is wearing in 'All for one').

Troy's mouth was wide opened seeing how she is so beautiful.

"Troy. Are you ok?"
"Brie, you're so beautiful."

Gabi blushed and Troy took out a bouquet of lilacs, her favorite, "For you."

"Aww. Thanks so much Troy. They're beautiful. I will just put them in a vase."

Maria watched in amazement of how the two react with each other.

After Gabi put the flowers in a vase, they all said goodbyes to her mom.

They arrived at a park and Gabi gasped as she saw a picnic set up. It was a great June day for a picnic, not too sunny and not too cold.

After they finished what Troy's mom cooked, Troy had the courage to say,

"Brie, will you be my girlfriend?"
"I'd love to Troy."

And she kissed his cheek and they hugged.

End of Flashback

"Wait, we never kissed? I mean kiss on the ummm.." Gabi said a little curious why they didn't kiss in the lips.

"Umm..Yeah. We didn't have our first kiss until 2 weeks later after you became my girlfriend." Troy said.

"Ohh. So how did it go? Was I good?"

"Umm..yeh." Troy said while laughing nervously.

"Tell me more about it."

"Ok, so our first kiss…"

Flashback

The gang went to Troy's backyard to go swimming.

They all went inside the pool having fun. Troy and Gabi then went to the deep corner of the pool and that didn't go unnoticed by the others.

"I want to try something I have never done before." Troy said.

"Oh really? Then what's tha-."

Before Gabi could even finish, Troy's lips were on hers in a sweet and loving kiss. In the background, they could hear the girls squealing loudly while the guys were making gag noises. They pulled apart smiling happily.

"I love you Brie."

"I love you too Troy."

End of Flashback

"Kiss me Troy." Gabriella said while blushing.

Troy didn't respond and Gabi took it the wrong way.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I mean...I just want to umm…What I'm trying to sa-."

Gabriella was interrupted when she felt a pair of lips on her own. She melted into the passionate kiss and they pulled apart smiling at each other.

They suddenly heard the girls squealing loudly and the guys saying in unison, "Finally!"
