A/N: Thanks again for all your reviews! For all of you who did..wait for you cookie in the mail!

Well I know, I know that theres no romance at all yet...but wait! Lol..

K know..if you remember what I said in the last chappie..

Troy is wearing a white tee w/ basketball shorts and some white shoes..(you pick)

Zach is wearing the same...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The B-ball boys

Troy and Zach were, of course, playing basketball. "One on one, first one to 50, lets make it half court, only rules are..well you already know them, who ever wins has to buy dinner." Troy said to his really bored cousin.

Zach just moved his eyes to look up. (A/N: you know when guys are sitting on the ground, with their knees to their chest and their arms holding them? hes sitting like that..)

"I guess.." Zach said and held his hand up to let Troy help him up.

Troy sighed but helped him up.

"Bring it on!" Zach said with a smirk.

"Oh I already did!"

About 30 mins. in it was 30-27, Troy winning.

"Time out." Troy said putting his hands up.

"'kay" Zach said agreeing.

Troy pulled out his celly (A/N: HA!) and called Gabriella, he always called her at 6:00. It rang twice.

"Hello?" A voice asked, but it wasn't Gabi..

"Gabi?" Troy asked, turning his back on Zach.

"Umm, shes in the shower right now, can I take a message?"

"Can you tell her to call Troy." Troy said as Zach threw the ball at him, but missed.

"Sure..."

"Thanks. Bye." Troy said truing back to Zach.

"Bye." and with that they hung up.

"Who was that?" Zach asked when Troy was walking back,

"No one." Troy said with the ball.

"Ready?"

"Oh. Yeah!" Zach yelled.

"It's on!"

In the end Troy won by 5 points.

"So Troy, who did you call, really?" Zach asked putting his shirt around his neck.

"Just some girl."

"Oh some girl?"

"Yeah, some girl." Troy said doing the same with his shirt.

"And does this 'girl' have a name?"

"Yeah.."

"Oh.." Zach said realizing who it was. (A/N: Zach didn't hear the phone call)

" 'Oh' what?"

"It was the Gabriella girl huh?"

"Shut up!" Troy said smiling, and threw his towel at Zach.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"So Troy who picked up the phone?" Zach asked before taking a drink of his water.

"Um, I don't know..It wasn't Gabriella though."

Just then Troys phone rang. Troy put his water down and looked at his phone to check who it was. Gabriella

"Hello?" Troy said looking at Zach.

"Hey!" Troy smiled at Gabriella's voice, He never got tired of hearing it.

"Hey, Gabi!"

"Sorry I missed you before, I was in the shower and my cousin, Becky picked it up." Gabriella said in a sweet voice.

"No," Troy laughed, "It's okay, so my cousins here too..you wanna meet up somewhere?"

"Sure!" Gabriella answered, "How about the park in 15 mins.?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Good, see you then! Bye." Gabriella said before hanging up.

"Bye."

-----------------------------------------

"So Gabs, was that Troy? and whats happening at the park?" Becky asked when she got off the phone.

"Yes, and I said we'll meet him and his cousin there.." Gabriella said going into her walk-in closet.

"Okay...I guess I'll go get ready!" Becky said and getting up of Gabs room, which was light blue with books and awards everywhere, and I mean everywhere!

"Ah huh!" Gabriella said not really paying attention.

I have to find a way to get Gabs with this Troy guy.. Becky thought.

---------------------------------------------

"What time are we going?" Zach asked, when Troy explained the whole park thing.

"Umm..around 10 mins." Troy said looking in his dresser.

"Alright..then." Zach said walking out of Troy's room.

" 'kay." Troy mumbled.

There has to be a way to hook Troy and this Montez girl together.. Zach thought..
