A/N- Hey! Sorry about the really really long wait before the update. I have been having writers block. Thanks for all of the reviewers on the last chapter. Enjoy!

"Taylor, what should I do?" Troy asked Taylor over the phone. It had been two weeks since Gabriella called Troy, they got into a fight, and Troy and Taylor made up. He had just gotten back to Connecticut from Thanksgiving with his family in Albuquerque.
"Truthfully, Troy, I don't know," Taylor replied, "I haven't talked to Gabi since you two had your phone fight. I could call her if you would like me too and see what she thinks of you."
"Really, you would do that?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, of course! Anything for a friend," Taylor replied, "I'll have to call her later on, though. I have class in … nine minutes."
"Yeah, sure. Thanks so much, Tay. Talk to you later," Troy said and hung up. He exited his room and sat down next to Tyler on the couch.
"So, what did Taylor say?" Tyler asked.
"She'll call Gabi and see what she thinks of me," Troy replied.
"I really am sorry, Troy," Tyler said.
"I know you are, and you're forgiven," Troy replied and got up from the couch.
"Where are you going?" Tyler asked.
"On a walk to clear my head," Troy replied. He clapped Tyler on the back before grabbing his jacket and exiting the dorm. As he walked around the campus, the only thing on his mind was Gabriella. He had to figure a way to get her back. After his walk, he packed up for class. From class, he went to a late lunch then back to his dorm. A few minutes after he returned to his dorm, he received a call.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Troy, I've got a plan," Taylor said.

"Tay, are you sure this will work?" Troy asked.
"Yes, Troy, I'm positive. Now, go get her back!" Taylor replied, smiling and patting him on the back before giving him a little push.
Troy took a deep breath before going through the doors of the café in which Taylor had told Gabriella to go to. He saw Gabriella sitting at a table with a coffee in her hand. He went up to the counter and ordered himself a coffee then sat down at the table across from Gabriella. Gabriella looked at him, shocked for him to be there. "Hey," he said.
"Hey," she replied.
"Gabi, I am so so sorry. Believe me, you have no idea how sorry I am. I made the biggest mistake in my life. I let Chad down, and more importantly I let you down," Troy said. Gabriella didn't say anything. "Gabriella, I love you more than anything on this whole entire world. I love you more than basketball, by one hundred moons. I love you more than five billion times the circumference of Jupiter. I love you so much, Gabs, and I can't stand another minute without you," Troy continued. Gabriella was now in tears.
"I missed you, Troy," Gabriella managed to get out, "I love you so much!" Troy smiled and leaned in for a kiss. He caught Taylor's eye through the window. She smiled and gave him thumbs up. Gabriella turned around and saw Taylor too. She mouthed a 'thank you' then turned to Troy for another kiss. Troy pulled back.
"Now I just have to figure out how to get Chad to forgive me," Troy said.
"Don't worry, we'll think of something," Gabriella replied, wrapping her arms around Troy.

Taylor and Chad were walking to their favorite restaurant. Well, Taylor was walking. Chad was hobbling on his crutches. The couple walked into the restaurant and sat at a booth for four. Chad looked at Taylor curiously, but did not question her. About half an hour later, Troy and Gabriella walked into the restaurant. Gabriella looked around and saw Taylor, waved, then brought Troy to the table. When Troy and Gabriella sat down, Chad made a move to stand up. Taylor grabbed his arm and glared at him. She pulled him back down.
"Chad, Troy has returned to his former status with both Gabriella and me. Gabriella and I are going to leave the two of you alone here until you make up or else you won't be able to leave this restaurant, okay?" Taylor said. Chad nodded. Taylor and Gabriella got up and walked to another table.
"Chad, listen-" Troy started.
"Troy, I don't want to hear it," Chad cut him off. He attempted to get up again.
"Chad, please," Troy begged.
"Troy, you're my best friend! You should have taken my side. You shouldn't have even had to think about it! It should have been an automatic decision!" Chad said.
"You're right," Troy said.
"What?" Chad asked.
"You're right. I should have never taken his side. I mean, you've been my best friend for fourteen years, and you've never done anything to hurt me. Well, except for the time you and Taylor plotted together to get Gabriella and me to decide not to do callbacks. What I mean is I should have had your back like you have had mine for fourteen years. I'm sorry, Chad."
"I'm sorry, too."
"Friends?" Troy asked.
"Always," Chad replied. The two exchanged a man hug.
Gabriella nudged Taylor and the two went back to the table. "Have you two made up?" Gabriella asked. Troy and Chad nodded.
"Good," Taylor said. They looked through their menus and pondered what they wanted to order.
A/N- Sorry, it's not that long, but I've been having writers block. Please review!
