When Gabriella got to the nurse Troy set her down in a chair. "Well who do we have here? Mr. Bolton not another basketball accident I hope." The nurse, Ms. Frogger said. "No ma'am. My friend Gabriella slipped and twisted her ankle and now she can't put weight on it." "Well let's check it out then." "I'm ok. Honestly. I fell. That's all." Gabriella protested. "What's your last name dear?" The nurse asked. "Montez." Gabriella replied. Ms. Frogger pulled out her file and looked it over. "Well, you have nothing to worry about. It's probably just a sprain. Put some ice on it." The nurse handed Gabriella some ice. Gabriella put it on her now swollen ankle. Ten minutes later the bell rang and Troy had to go to class.
"Gabriella dear, do you want me to call your mom to take you to the doctors?" The nurse asked. "Yes please." The nurse called her mom and Ms. Montez rushed to the school to get Gabriella. At the doctors they found out that Gabriella had broken her ankle and she needed a cast. After she got the cast on they went home to find Troy sitting in his car waiting for them. When he saw Gabriella he rushed over to her picking her up and bringing her inside. "You don't need to do that Troy. I'm ok. Really." Gabriella protested. "I thought the nurse said it was only a sprain?" Troy asked ignoring Gabriella's requests to be put down. "Well, it turns out it's broken." She said. "Troy, I'm sure she'll be alright. Gabriella, you're so lucky to have a friend like Troy. I've never had anyone except your father care about me that much." Ms. Montez said. "Well I'll bet he loves me as much as papi loved you." "True… wait a minute… did you just say that he loves you?" Ms. Montez asked her daughter with concern. She didn't want her daughter embarrassing herself in front of Troy. "Yes… oh ya! I didn't tell you!" Gabriella said. She was about to stand up when she was suddenly weighted down by Troy pulling at her sweatshirt. "Ankle. Remember?" He told her. "Oh ya. Oops." She said. "Well… get on with it!" Ms. Montez told her daughter. She thought she knew what was coming and in a way she regretted it. But then again, she figured 'better Troy than some other guy I don't know…' "Well…" Gabriella said. "Ms. Montez, don't hate me, but I asked Gabriella out." "Troy, I couldn't hate you if I tried. Besides, better you than some other boy I don't know!" She said. Gabriella was so happy that her mother approved of Troy that she was about to get up and hug her mom when Troy pulled her sweatshirt again. "This is going to take some getting used to…" Gabriella said as she sunk down into the couch. Troy and Ms. Montez laughed at her pouting face. "Your so cute when you're mad!" Troy told her. "Troy, if you're going to flirt with me please don't do it with my mom in the room!" Gabriella told him as they cracked up again.
