Troy did come back. When he did he brought Gabriella loads of presents. All of those presents were the work she missed in class that day. He sat down to watch her do it all and was amazed when she finished it all within an hour. Then next day was going to be fun. It was the day Gabriella got to go back to school.
'Bbbrrriiinnnggg!' The alarm clock rang throughout the living room. The earsplitting ringing caused Troy to fall off the couch. Gabriella was already up and she was watching all of this from the reclining chair. She cracked up laughing. "Ya, you're laughing now. Just wait until I can get you back when your ankle is healed!" Troy told her. "Only two more weeks." Gabriella said to him. "But that's such a long time to wait!" Troy complained in a joking manner. "Suck it up you big baby." Gabriella told him. "Waaaaaaa! I'm a baby!" Troy said joking around. "Yes, but you're my baby!" Gabriella told him. "Now come over here and kiss me before I use this cast for evil and not good!" She told him. "Ahhhh! Not the dreaded cast!" He wasn't joking around this time. Within the eight hours of sleep Gabriella got, Troy only got three and that was because he moved onto the couch and off the blanket on the floor. Gabriella had kicked him with the cast last night and not even on purpose. He walked over and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "I need to go get ready. What's for breakfast?" Troy asked her. "Omelets. Courtesy of Ms. Karen Montez." Gabriella told him. Troy laughed and walked into the kitchen. Gabriella hobbled in after him on her crutches. They sat down at the table and ate their omelets. Then Troy got ready for school (Gabriella was already ready) and Troy drove them to school. The gang was waiting for them by the doors today. When Taylor saw Gabriella she came flying over to her by grabbing her bag. "Are you ok?" She asked her. "Ya. I think Troy's in more pain than I am right now!" Gabriella said. "Why?" Chad asked. "I kicked him with my cast all night last night." "Ouch!" Chad said. Troy lifted his pant leg to reveal the bruises that were there. "I did all that?" Gabriella asked. Troy nodded. "Sorry. I knew I moved around in my sleep, but I didn't know I moved THAT much!" Gabriella apologized. "It's ok. For you, I'd take a bullet." Troy told her flirtatiously. All of the girls awed at his remark. All except Gabriella, that is. She turned a deep shade of red. Troy laughed. "Come on." He told her. They walked to their lockers hand in hand just talking about the last few weeks of summer. When Ryan and Sharpay saw Gabriella they were shocked. "Gabriella, I told you. When I said break a leg I was wishing you good luck!" Sharpay told her. "Haha. I didn't break a leg. I broke my ankle." Gabriella told her matter-of-factly. The bell rang signaling that the group had to go to first period. For Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, and Ryan that meant drama. "How am I going to do drama with these?" Gabriella shook her crutches and almost fell over. "We'll find a way." Troy told her. Then the foursome walked to the auditorium together.
