To Kiss Or Not To Kiss

Chapter 5: We're Moving Where? (Part 1)

After Troy finished talking to Gabriella, his parents called him to come downstairs and have a little talk with them. Troy immediately thought, This is not good. Did I do anything? But he didn't complain and just went downstairs. His mom told him to sit with them on the couch.

"Troy we finally know when we're gonna move and where." Jack, Troy's dad said.

"Okay. So, when are we gonna move?"

"This Friday." Troy's mom replied.

"This Friday? But where are we moving?"

"New Jersey." Jack answered.

"NEW JERSEY!" Troy kinda took it as bad news because he was gonna be away from his friends. But he also knew that he was gonna be closer to Gabriella.

"Troy, we know you don't want to move but this is for our own good." Troy's mom comforted him.

"We've already got it settled. You attend a new school next Monday. The school's called 'New Jersey High'. Don't worry Troy. You'll like it over there." Jack confidently said.

Then Troy just stood up and walked to his room without saying a word.

But this has been my childhood home. Are we really just gonna let all of this go? But then again, there are the chances of me seeing Gabriella again. But I've been living here since I was born and I don't intend to lose any friendships just because we moved.

And then Troy cried while thinking about his memories. The things he did in this house. This is his real home. This is where he belonged. And it's all gonna be gone just because he's moving.

The next day came and Troy told everybody the news at lunch.

"Guys, my parents told me when and where we're gonna move."

"Really? So when and where are you gonna move?" Chad asked.

"I'm moving on Friday and we're moving to New Jersey."

"New Jersey?" Asked Zeke.

"So you'll be seeing Gabby?" Asked Taylor.

"I don't know. I don't know what part of New Jersey she lives in."

"I can't believe we're gonna lose one more person. In just a week!" Sharpay said.

"I can't believe it either! I wrote songs for you and Gabriella to sing in the musical before I knew you guys were gonna move and now, someone else is gonna sing them." Kelsie sadly said.

"I'm sorry you guys. I just want you to know that I'm gonna miss each and every one of you."

Then everybody ate their lunch in silence after that.

Friday came too quickly. On Friday, Troy told everyone he knew he was gonna move. When the teachers found out, they all wished him good luck. When the cheerleaders found out, they actually cried that they weren't gonna see their crush anymore. So pathetic. And when Ms. Darbus found out, she cried. Bad.

"Troy, I want you to tell me you are joking!" Ms. Darbus commanded.

"I'm sorry Ms. Darbus, but I'd be lying if I told you that."

A few seconds passed by and then Ms. Darbus started crying. She actually came to Troy and hugged him.

"I already lost Gabriella and now I'm losing you? Is this payback for when I gave you detention for the cell phone thing?"

"No Ms. Darbus, besides, it was my fault that I got detention."

Ms. Darbus cried some more and then finally let go of Troy.

"Well, you have a safe trip to New Jersey. And if you ever audition for a musical, tell your new drama teacher who taught you everything you know about acting, singing, plays, musicals and Shakespeare."

"I'll be sure to do that Ms. Darbus."

And then the bell rang and everybody rushed out of the classroom. Then lunch came. The gang talked but not much, avoiding the topic about Troy moving.

And then the final bell rang and everybody except for the basketball team, the gang and Troy rushed out the school. When they got to the parking lot, Chad began to say something.

"Troy, the team and I wanted to show you something."

The guys assembled like they did when they spelled "Go Drama Club!" but this time, it spelled something different.

"B… Y… E… C… A… P… T… A… I… N… sad face" they shouted. (A/N: Eleven letters for eleven players. Am I smart or what?)

"Thanks guys. That was cool." Troy said thankfully.

"Troy, I baked you something for the trip." Zeke gave Troy a container with something inside.

"And I made you a mixed CD when you and Gabriella were singing in the musical." Kelsie gave Troy a CD.

"Troy I'm giving you my basketball." Chad put his basketball in Troy's hands.

"I'm giving you my brand new Advanced Chemistry book. You should use it." Taylor gave Troy the book.

"I'm giving you my microphone. Just to make sure you have it when you audition for any musicals in NJ." Ryan then put his microphone in Troy's pocket.

"Dude, I'm giving you my Michael Jordan signed poster." Jason handed him the poster. "Just make sure you take good care of it."

And then after that, they all looked at Sharpay.

"Well?" Chad impatiently asked.

"Well what?" Sharpay asked back.

"Aren't you gonna give Troy anything?"

Sharpay sighs and says, "Fine." Sharpay then approaches Troy and pecks him on the cheek.

"Don't think that meant anything." Sharpay said. "I just didn't have anything to give you. Besides, it was either that or my extra make up set. If you want, you can wipe my kiss off and I could get you the make up set."

"I'll stick with the kiss." Troy said. "But guys, you didn't have to give me these."

"But we wanted to Troy, we're your friends. And nothing's ever gonna change that." Taylor said.

And then Troy hugged everybody and instead of taking the bus, he walked home. He wanted to see everything in slow motion so he could take one good last look at Albuquerque, New Mexico.

When he got home, everything was packed and all he had to do was get his hand-carries and get in the cab. He took one last look at every room and cherished every moment as he remembered his memories of when he was a kid, when he got his first basketball, when he got his first kiss, when he first got into a real basketball team, when he sang in front of a real audience for the first time, and when he won the championships. Every room had nothing but bare ceilings, floors and walls.

His parents called him down and told him to get in the cab. He obeyed and then a few minutes later, they were at the airport. They had their luggage checked in and their paperwork done and had a couple of minutes before they had to board the plane so Troy went to the souvenir shops. He also found the magazine where he and Gabriella were singing in the musical. He practically grabbed the magazine and threw it to the counter. The cashier was an old man and he's the same one that served Gabriella and remembered her.

"You know, that girl in the picture was in here a week ago. She bought the same exact magazine the moment she saw it. She said that the only reason she's buying the magazine was because of the picture. What's your reason?"

"Same reason as hers. Just to look at the picture."

"Hey, you're in that picture too!" The old man just noticed. "You chasin' after her?"

"As much as I want to, I can't because I don't have that much money."

"Well, don't let anything get in the way of true love, son. Trust me, I should know. …You do love her, right?"

Troy started getting teary eyed. "More than anything in the world."

"Well then you should tell her. You only meet the perfect girl once in your life."

"How do you know I haven't told her yet?"

"Son, how would you think I knew it if I didn't go through it myself? I never told the girl I loved that I love her. So she married someone else and I was left in the dirt with no one. That was the biggest mistake of my life. Don't let it be yours."

Okay, please tell me you like it! I never really thought of Troy talking to the old man until when I started writing it. And I just realized that it's really gonna help my future chapters a lot in some way. So tell me if you guys liked it!

Coming up for part 2: Troy's new house and school. Someone gets a surprise (I may or may not be putting that on, depends on how long the chapter's gonna be if I do decide to put it)

Coming up for later chapters: The auditions, the agent, Gabriella meets her heartthrob, and plenty more!
