School ended for Gabriella as a Junior.

She got her things from her locker, then turned to exit the school. She spotted Troy.

He was with Haylie.

She ran up to him, and he hugged her tightly. They kissed eachother.

She watched closely. Her stomach churned.

It had been a year and nine months since she broke up with him. She was glad she did. Troy didn't even fight Gabriella in court for Griffin, he just signed over his rights. He never saw Griffin again.

She walked right past them.

He literally hadn't set an eye on her since the court date. He didn't really notice what she looked like.

Gabriella walked out of the school and towards her car. She felt somebody hug her legs.

She turned around.

"Oh my goodness, by little Griffie!" She set her things down and picked him up. "Did Papa bring you here?"

He nodded. She pecked Griffin's lips and hugged him.

"Hi Papa!" Gabriella smiled as her dad came running up to her.

"He just saw you and took off!" Vincente` was laughing.

Griffin was more beautiful than anyone ever expected. He had blonde hair and bright, blue eyes. He looked a lot like Gabriella, but still had Troy's nose, eyes, and hair. She never let Troy see Griffin. He hadn't seen Griffin for a year and nine months, but she was happy that Troy wasn't a part of Griffin's life, because he was a lying and cheating bastard.

She held Griffin's hand as she set him down. He looked up at everyone who walked past and said hi.

Caitlin ran up to Gabriella.

"OH MY GOD, GABRIELLA!" Caitlin screamed.

"CAITLIN!" Gabriella let go of Griffin and hugged Caitlin. "I haven't seen you since before I had my baby! Where have you been?"

"I moved away. My phone was broken, so I couldn't let you know. I'm so sorry!"

Gabriella pulled away and picked Griffin up again. She smiled.

"This is my little baby boy, Griffin."

Caitlin was awe-stricken. "He looks like you! He's still got Troy's blue eyes and Troy's nose, but other than that, he's a spitting image of you! He's so beautiful!"

Gabriella giggled. "Thank you."

Caitlin looked around. "So where is Troy?"

"I don't know and I don't care."

"Why? What's going on between you two?"

"We broke up over a year and a half ago. I filed full custody for Griffin, and I won. He signed his rights over, and is paying me a little money every month for the money he still owes me from when he still had joint custody of Griffin."

"Why did you guys break up?"

Gabriella looked at Griffin. "He went out and got drunk with Harvey. He cheated on me at the bar, and when I confronted him about it, he blamed it on me for getting pregnant because he didn't want kids. I told him that if he didn't want kids, then he'd never see Griffin and I ever again, and then I left him forever."

Caitlin frowned. "If you want, we can go see Harvey and the field. I know that he misses seeing you, and he wants to know how life's been going with you. He probably knows that you guys are broken up, but he'll be happy to see you. He's there with the other team members to have a last time football practice. Then, they're going to have a little graduation party there. Wanna come?"

Gabriella looked at her dad. "Can I go?" She set Griffin down.

"Sure sweetheart. Try to come back as early as possible."

...

Caitlin and Gabriella both sat in the empty crowd.

"I'm gonna go to the top to get a better view." She got up and began to start up the stairs.

The football team broke apart. They all talked to the coach, then the staff started bringing tables and chairs out

"Caitlin, it's over- "

She looked up, and Caitlin was still climbing. She decided to leave her alone.

Harvey came to the bleachers. He noticed Gabriella. "Gabriella?" He looked at her.

"Hi Harvey." Gabriella smiled.

"Oh wow, I haven't seen you for a while... " He hugged her and was smiling big. "You and Troy broke up about a year and a half ago, right?"

"About a year and eight or nine months."

"The last time I saw you was when you were about seven months pregnant. But you look great Gabriella. You look much older now."

She giggled. "Well, I'm not pregnant, for one, and I'm seventeen now."

"That's why." He chuckled. "You know Troy is with Haylie Kayne, right?"

"Oh god yeah, I know. She's a little slutty whore."

He grinned. "I know she is. He made a mistake when he cheated on you. He had a chance at having a life with you, and now he's dating a slut."

"You aren't best friends with him anymore?" Gabriella folded her arms.

"Well, not best friends. I was mad at him because he left you and his child. I would never do that. Caitlin and I broke up after the baby died, but we got back together. I just don't understand why he would sign all his rights over."

"I didn't ask him to sign all his rights over. I wanted full custody of my kid, though. I would have allowed Troy to see him, but he just asked to sign his rights over. I never understood why. The last we talked was the court hearing when Griffin was three months old. He said that he had never meant to hurt me and that he was sorry. He told me that he loved us and that he always would love us. I said bullshit, slapped him, walked out of the courthouse and went home to my baby."

"He's turned into quite an ass. Probably because that slut brainwashed my best friend into a loser of a father and a cheating asshole. I'm still friends with him but nowhere near as much of a friend as I used to be." Harvey looked around. "Caitlin texted me and told me she would be here."

Gabriella pointed to the top of the bleachers. "She's up there playing with my baby."

Harvey looked up. "That kid's not no baby anymore. Tell me a little more."

"Here, let's go meet with Caitlin. I'll tell you a little more."

She walked up the stairs with him. "Well, I had a little boy, and he had Spina Bifida when he was born, and a defect on his little... You know. Well, they fixed it, and they said that there was a big chance he would live a normal life, and he is. They also thought he would have asthma, but he grew out of it."

"Anything else?"

"Well, his name's Griffin Harley Bolton. I kept his name Bolton because well, he is a Bolton. I didn't want to disgrace their family by changing his name to Montez. He's got blonde hair that falls just like Troy's does. It doesn't stick up or get messy, it stays flat, unlike my curly hair. He's got Troy's blue eyes, and Troy's nose, but the rest of him looks a lot like me. Well, if you want to compare him to somebody, he looks almost exactly like Bentley on Teen Mom."

"Really? Then he must be one cute kid. I know Caitlin watched that show all the time."

"Oh, he's beautiful. I'm so glad that he doesn't look much like Troy."

As they got to the top, Caitlin jumped into Harvey's arms and kissed his lips.

"I'm gonna go back down and sit for a while. I think I need to be alone for a little while. The last time I was at this place was before I had Griffin.

She went to the bottom, sat down, and began to dig through her purse for her phone to get a picture with Harvey. Griffin loved football, and she wanted to show him a picture of her and a football player.

She took a couple pictures with Harvey, then sent them to her dad.

"Just wait until Griffin sees the pictures. He'll be all over me!" Gabriella smiled up at Harvey. "Not to be a bother, but could you stop over sometime?"

"I would be happy to stop over. I know that he's a football fan, and he would die to see a football player in uniform."

"Thank you." She smiled. "I still live at the same house, so come over any time you guys want to come over. And I'll give you my number right now, okay?"

They all exhanged phone numbers.

"Well, I've gotta go. It was nice seeing you guys!" She hugged both Harvey and Caitlin. "Come over soon, okay?"

"We will." Caitlin smiled. "I'll see you sissy."

"Bye Caitlin!" Gabriella smiled.

That was a very good day for her. Summer was there, and she had just met her best friend once again.

What else could be better?
