Thanks for the reviews! Please read and review!

Troy woke up the next morning, with a headache. He was still in bed since he was up pretty late last night. He was about to get up, but the first thing he remembered was the occurrence with Gabriella, which depressed him and he fell right back into bed. He felt so stupid. He should have talked her into giving him a chance more. He didn't have her number, and she probably didn't have his. Eventually, he had to get up because there was a knock on his door. He slowly got up. The person knocked on the door once more. "I'm coming!" He scratched his head and yawned. He was secretly hoping it was Gabriella here to forgive him and give him a second chance. He opened the door, only to find... Chad. He pushed Troy aside and pounced on his couch.

"Man, your place is messy. You should get a maid." Chad said.

"Yeah, I would. If only I had money." He laughed, shutting the door.

"So... how was your date with that girl?" Chad asked, hoping to get some juicy gossip.

"Man, I hate you." Troy said. Chad had a very puzzled look on his face. "It was Gabriella!" Chad still looked confused. "Montez!" Chad scratched his head. "From high school!"

"Oh yeah. That Gabriella?" Chad said, getting a water bottle out of Troy's fridge.

"Yeah! That Gabriella! Man, you hooked me up with her and she's pissed at me and doesn't want to see me. Thanks a lot."

"Sorry." Chad muttered.

"That's all your going to say? She was my first love, and I still love her. She was nice to me until she found out that I was her date!"

"I guess you weren't as lucky as me and Tiffany." Chad turned on the TV.

"Don't even try to explain! Hey, turn off my TV!" Troy grabbed the remote out of his hand and turned it off. "And you and Tiffany are nothing alike. She always bosses you, so you guys are not perfect! That is the worst possible sight out there! Now leave my house!" Troy pushed Chad out and slammed his door.

"I hate him." Troy muttered, as he went over to his couch and watched TV.

Troy really hoped that Gabriella would forgive him and still want to be with him. Troy really had wanted to keep in touch with her after high school, but he lost track of her number and e-mail and he was so busy with school, it just wouldn't work out anyway. He could understand how she wanted to start fresh but she should just give him a chance.

"How was your night last night?" Rachael said, nudging Gabriella's side, since she was still asleep.

"Huh?" Gabriella rubbed her eyes to wake up more. "What?"

"You know, with that Troy guy? You came in kind of late."

"Oh. Him. Uhh..." Gabriella just wanted to sleep and be left alone. She didn't want to think about Troy.

"Things just... didn't work out." Gabriella muttered softly, as she rolled over and put the cover over her head.

"What do you mean?" Rachael took the covers off her head.

"Hey!" Gabriella cried. "I don't know. Not my type, I guess."

"You didn't even give him a chance?"

"I did, but were just not meant to be." Gabriella took the covers back from Rachael's hands and put them over her head.

Rachael walked over to Gabriella's desk. "Can I use your computer? Mine isn't working."

"Sure." Gabriella moaned.

Rachael noticed a file that was still open. She didn't like snooping, but since she was pretty good at it...

It was e-mails to and from Troy. That guy she went out with. She noticed one.

Dear Troy,

Thanks for understanding my problems and listening. Sometimes, I think we've known each other for a long time. You're a great friend and I hope we can become more.

Love, Gabrielle

"Aaaawww." Rachael couldn't help but saying aloud. She really liked him. Was it him? Was he a jerk in real life? She read more e-mails and noticed that he was sweet and kind to her as well. What could possibly be the problem?

"What?" Gabriella stiffened in bed.

"Oh nothing." Rachael tried to cover the screen of what she was looking at.

"What are you looking at?" Gabriella sat up, getting more serious. She had to wake up.

"It's nothing, really. Go back to bed." I guess Rachael was a bad snooper actually.

"Rachael!" Gabriella shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm looking at these e-mails from you and Troy. I couldn't help myself. They were already on the screen. But, why don't you like him. You guys seem to really connect and you seem to really like him, according to these." Rachael pointed to the screen.

"That's none of your business!" Gabriella pulled the covers off of her.

"Gabriella! You're not telling me anything, anymore. I thought we were friends." Rachael got up and sat on Gabriella's bed, beside her. "So, what's up with Troy?"

"Okay. He was my old boyfriend in high school and I didn't know it was him on the computer, so when we met, I just didn't want to see him. I want to start over, not go back to my past."

"You should give him a chance." Rachael said.

"I mean, I said I would look over the e-mails. That's why there on there, but I just don't know. It's so hard." Gabriella sighed.

"I know, but u should look them over. You guys look like you're really meant to be, well from the way you talk to each other and everything." Rachael said. "Come here." She grabbed Gabriella's hand and led her to the desks computer. She sat her down. "Read these." Rachael left the room, leaving Gabriella in front of the screen with the e-mails.

'Maybe I should give him a chance...' Gabriella thought to herself.

Thanks! Remember, the more reviews, the faster I update!
