Gabriella happily pulled into the parking lot of her final destination.
She gleefully got out of the car and bounded up the stairs leading into the main hall of East High.
She briskly walked past the front office, and jogged lightly up the stairs.
She hustled passed Mrs. Darbus's former room and the lockers.
Then, she reached the dim hallway.
The hallway to the secret hideout.
She hastily opened the door, and ran up the three flights of stairs.
Halfway through the last flight, she slowed her pace to a walk.
She paused and caught her breath, and then she straightened out her hair.
She took a deep breath, then proceed the rest of the way up the stairs.
The sunshine nearly blinded her as she hit the top of the staircase.
She slowly turned around to the bench area.
Her grin quickly faded into a frown of disappointment.
Troy wasn't there.
She felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces.
She sulkily turned, and slowly walked back down the dark stairs.
Finally, Gabriella reached the large tan doors; she pushed them open and was rushed with the smell of school.
She sadly let the door slam as she continued to walk down the hall.
She passed the cafeteria, which looked the same.
Then she walked a little bit further, past the vending machines, and the auto mechanic garage.
And Gabriella found herself outside.
She heard squeaks and the sound of shoes skidding across freshly waxed floor.
Gabriella's heart skipped a beat when she saw that the gym doors were propped open.
Gabriella sneaked to the door, and peaked through the crack.
Sure enough, there was the Troy Bolton, working on his free throws.
Gabriella bit her bottom lip, and then slowly walked in.
" Ten seconds left in the game, and Troy Bolton has the ball, fake left, break right, and SCORE! Ladies and gentlemen, the Wildcats have won the championships!"
Troy said to himself as he shot the " final basket"
Gabriella giggled, and Troy, surprised, turned around.
He smiled, and relaxed when he saw it was her.
" So, this is still your stage?" Gabriella asked.
Troy turned and shot another basket, " Only when I'm coaching." He replied.
" No way! YOU coach the wildcats?" She asked as she gestured for the ball.
Troy laughed as threw her ball.
" Yeah, I actually do…part time though."
Gabriella also shot, and scored.
" So I see freaky math girl never lost her touch!" Troy commented.
Gabriella just smiled and curtseyed.
" So, what else do you do then?" Gabriella asked as she walked over to the ball.
" I'm an advertising manager for AirWalks…" Troy said as he gestured for the ball.
Gabriella nodded, " Impressive! Is it fun?"
Troy went to shoot, " Hey, It's my turn to ask a question!" He exclaimed, then shot the ball.
Gabriella giggled, " Ok, fine…"
" So, how have you been?" Troy asked as he passed Gabriella the ball.
" Oh, you know…alive…" She replied as she shot it.
Troy smiled, " Yeah…I know how that one goes…"
Gabriella tossed Troy the ball.
" So, umm…why are you teaching here?" Gabriella asked
" That's easy, I love this place!" Troy said as he shot the ball into the net.
He walked over to it, and then passed the ball to Gabriella.
" So, what do you do?" He asked.
Gabriella paused, " Oh…well…nothing...I never even finished college." Gabriella shot the ball.
Troy looked stunned, " You never finished college? Why?"
Gabriella threw the ball at Troy's chest, " It's my turn to ask the question." She replied.
Troy sighed, " Fine…"
" Have you…dated anyone since-"
" No." Troy said quickly as he made the basket.
Gabriella looked down.
Troy walked over to her and gave her the ball.
" Why didn't you finish college?" Troy asked.
Gabriella dribbled the ball a couple times, keeping her eyes to the ground.
" Things…came up…." She finally answered, then shot the ball.
Troy sighed; he knew he had to wait to ask his next question.
Gabriella threw the ball to Troy, " Why haven't you dated anyone else?"
Troy stopped and looked at her.
Her gaze was too powerful for him; he looked back at the ball.
" Nothing felt…right." He said as he shot the ball.
He walked to the ball and passed it to Gabriella.
" Have you dated anyone else?" Troy asked.
Gabriella struggled for words.
"…Yes." She replied softly, she shot the basket, and missed.
Troy nodded; it was obvious she didn't want to talk about it.
" Have you ever been in love?" Gabriella asked as she went after the ball.
She bent over, and picked it up.
She turned around, and Troy was right behind her.
He was so close Gabriella could feel his warm breath on her face.
Gabriella gulped; there was static running through her body.
He took the ball from her hands, and rolled it on the ground.
" Only once" he whispered.
Troy slowly moved closer to Gabriella. Her heart was beating fast. She too, took a step forward.
Gabriella could feel his chest against hers, Troy slowly knelt his head down towards Gabriella. She closed her eyes and leaned forward.
Gently, their lips touched.
Gabriella felt the spark running down her spin. She encircled her arms around his neck, and Troy gripped her waist, and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.
Gabriella pressed her lips harder against Troy's; it was an old fire coming back.
Only for air did Troy and Gabriella pull away.
Gabriella was breathing heavy, and had her eyes locked with Troy.
" Do you still love me?" Troy asked.
Gabriella was confused for a moment, and then remembering their game, looked deeper into his eyes.
" Yes." She whispered softly.
Troy smiled and leaned in once again.
Gabriella smiled, and closed her eyes as she moved closer to Troy.
As they kissed, Troy's hands worked up Gabriella's sides, finally stopping with his hands pressed against her back.
Gabriella playfully twisted his hair around her fingers.
The two broke apart, but only to reconnect their lips moments later.
Gabriella had backed up, and was now pressed to a wall.
Troy's hands wandered through her shirt, up and down her sides.
The kisses became rough, and fiery.
It was like when you're deprived of something for so long, and now you had what you wanted.
Gabriella moved her hands to Troy's chest. She pulled away from the kissing.
"Troy?" she whispered as he leaned his head on the wall behind Gabriella.
" Yeah?" He whispered as he his hands gently rubbed her sides.
" I think we should stop." She said as she sighed a breath of regret.
Troy nodded, " I think you're right."
Gabriella smiled.
Troy laid his head on Gabriella's forehead.
" I've missed you so much." He said as he put his hands on her arms.
" I've missed you too." She whispered.
Troy kissed her gently on her lips.
Then he pulled away smiling.
He was about to ask something, when Gabriella's phone began to ring.
She quickly dug through her pocket and pulled out her phone.
'Mom' was blinking on the screen
" Hello?" She asked.
" Gabby? Where are you? It's been four hours! Are you ok?"
Gabriella broke away from Troy and brought her hand to her flushed face.
" Yeah, mom. I'm fine…sorry."
Gabriella heard Faith crying in the background.
It honestly broke her heart.
" Well, Faith's been upset for about…thirty minutes, and I was wondering when you were coming home."
Gabriella began to panic, " Umm…ok, yeah, um, I'll just come home now. Be right there!"
Gabriella quickly hung up the phone; she turned around and was surprised to find Troy standing behind her.
" So, you have to go?" Troy asked with confusion.
Gabriella nodded her head, " yeah, I'm sorry but I really have to go! This was fun…but, I told my mom I'd only be a few hours and my baby's crying-"
" Your baby?" Troy said. His eyes flashed with fear.
Gabriella stopped in mid sentence. Her eyes felt like they were on the floor.
" My...erm…uh-"
" You meant your…dog, right?" Troy asked.
Gabriella's throat went dry, " Troy, I don't have a dog…"
Troy's mouth closed, he tightly shut his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
" Gabriella…what exactly happened after you left Albuquerque?" Troy asked, not uncovering his face.
Gabriella sighed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her keys.
" Come on." She said gloomily.
Troy took his hands off his face, " Where?" He asked.
" Just…come on. I need to tell you something…"
Gabriella walked over and took Troy's hands.
Together, they walked out of the gym.
