(5 years later, Gabriella is 23 years old)

23-year-old Gabriella Montez is walking by the streets of Albuquerque. Just after work, her friend Janet is inviting her to join her to Starbucks this afternoon. However, Gabriella asked what was the reason why she was invited to join her. Janet said it was a "surprise".

While walking, she kept on thinking if she'll ever experience love since 5 years ago. But sadly enough, she forgot a certain someone that changed her life. (AN: and you know who that certain someone is ;) )

As she got to Starbucks, she saw her dear friend Janet talking to a guy. By the moment Gabriella was inside the coffee shop, Janet saw her and waved at her.

"Gabriella! Over here!" cried Janet to Gabriella

Gabriella smiled and walked to Janet. When she arrived at Janet's place, she can't help but notice the guy Janet has been talking kept staring and smirking her. As if he was checking her out.

"Hi Janet" said Gabriella with a smile "What's up?"

"I want you to meet someone" said Janet as she pulled Gabriella to a guy

"What? I don't understand"

Gabriella then saw the guy who was checking her out. He was pretty tall, green eyes, but not really good looking. He even looks like a pervert.

"Gabi" said Janet "This is Bradley. Bradley, this is Gabriella"

"Wow, you're right Janet. Gabriella is one hot babe" said Bradley

"Janet!" said Gabriella "I told you that I don't want to date guys as of now"

"But still" said Janet "You have to have a guy already Gabriella! You're 23 already and you need a guy in your whole life!"

"But I'm still waiting for the right one!"

Gabriella then walked out of the coffee shop. However, Janet chased Gabriella, but leaving Bradley behind.

"Gabi!" said Janet "I don't understand this..."

"Neither do I" said Gabriella "I can't just date a guy whom I just met. I want someone who really loved me. Thanks for helping anyway Janet. I got to go now"

Gabriella then walked out, leaving Janet. She then took a cab and drove her all the way to her apartment. Her sister was in college already while her mother was on another house. Gabriella wanted to be an independent woman ever since 5 years ago.

As she got home, she received a text from someone from an unknown number.

"Hey...I missed you for years already...However, I'm coming back for you ;) "

Weird. Gabriella was frightened yet familiarized at the number at the same time. Who could've text her like this? Yet, Gabriella received another text.

"Please reply...I know you could not remember me but you will when you go to a certain place ;) "

Gabriella was frightened and turned off her cell phone. She was very stressed and scared who could this person be texting her. But, the text itself was very familiar.

Gabriella then opened her laptop to finish her paper works on her job. She decided to sign in on her Yahoo Messenger.

Gabster01 has signed in

She checked who to chat at a time like this but it seems like all of her friends are offline. She was about to sign out when an instant message popped in.

Badboy14:Hey hey hey :)

When she saw the message, yet again, she was scared yet kinda knew who this person is.

Gabster01:Who are you? Get out of my life! Are you the one who had been giving me loads of text?

Badboy14: Aw...You still don't remember me? :(

Gabster01: What are you talking about? I will call the cops!

Badboy14: LOL, just like back then. Right Gabriella Montez?

Gabster01: How did you know my name? Stop it!

Badboy14: I can't believe you almost forgot me :( Don't you still remember the beach?

Gabster01: Huh? What beach? Who are you anyways?

Badboy14: If you want to find out, meet me in the beach later 6PM near the coconut tree I carved

Badboy14 signed out

Gabriella then was shocked who this guy was. She tried to remember who this guy is...

"Oh My God!" said Gabriella "It couldn't be Troy!"

Yes, Gabriella now remembers the boy who changed her life. It was Troy Bolton who was texting her. However, Gabriella couldn't believe she almost forgotten him. She all can remember was she and her ex Derek were perfectly fine until Troy came. Troy began stalking Gabriella that changed he life. Soon enough they had a relationship but was tragically didn't last long because Troy has to move to France.

Gabriella took her bag and left her apartment. She called a cab and asked the driver to drive her to the beach. She was nervous and excited to see Troy at the same time.

As she arrived, she saw the beach with a mixture of yellow and orange sunset. Gabriella then remembered sunset was the time when she and Troy kissed. The time when Gabriella knew she was in love with him.

Gabriella saw a coconut tree. She walked to it and saw carvings.

"I love you Gabriella-Troy.B"

She then cried and she remembered everything. Troy changed her life but showed her there was so much more than just being the queen of East High back then. She never knew the East High stalker would care for her.

"So, you remember me now right?" said a voice

Gabriella stopped crying as she heard the voice. She turned around and got a big surprise. Could it be him?

AN: Whew! Long but worth it :) See, I told you there's a twist :) lolz :) anyways, please review :) thanks :) It's not yet the end by the way :)
