Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! x3 Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I've been going to school, and dance, then home for a half an hour, then back to dance, then eat shower and on here. Haha. Anyways, Spring Break is coming up. I think I may end this, and debating whether what you guys want (another story completely different or a sequel) I'll do that. Enjoy!
Gabi turned pages of Troy's journal. She was astonished by not only how much Troy writes, but how much meaning and emotion surrounded his words. She carefully read over the sloppy handwriting that over the months she had grown to love. Everything about the journal screamed Troy Bolton. From the funny looking hearts that he makes, well attempts to make, to the scent of every page that came up beneath Gabi's nose as she turned each page. Caught up in his words that were written down on blue pen, she ignored her surroundings. She ignored the sound of a car drive up and even the unzipping of the tent door. She glanced over to the front of the tent where a very shocked, a very angry boyfriend stood, holding a bag of fastfood breakfast and two little bottles of orange juice. She threw the journal, hoping he didn't see it. How fucking stupid am I? He seen me with it in my hands, and what do I do? I throw it and try to act like I didn't have it. Smooth Gabs. Real smooth.
Troy sat down with the bag and snatched the journal and hid it in the bottom of the bag. He grabbed a breakfast sandwich out of the McDonalds bag and tossed the bag over to Gabi. He stared down at his meal as he picked at it. "I'm sorry." Gabi said, now ashamed of what she had done. "You know, there was a reason that I didn't want anyone to read it." Gabi sat on the sleepingbags and unwrapped the paper covering the sandwich. "Why?" "Hm, well lets see Gabi. It's a journal. If I wanted people to read it, I would post it on my LJ or something." Troy said as rolled his eyes and continued to look down. "Well. Why not?" Troy sighed, "I'm a guy. Guys don't keep journals. Guys don't write poetry." He took a deep breath in, trying to hold back his anger. "It's not even the fact that you looked at it. You got me out of the tent just so you could." Gabi nodded, frowning. It wasn't the fake pouts that they used to do to eachother to get their way, but actual saddness.
Troy finnished eating and headed outside. He sat in a lawn chair and stared at absolutely nothing, debating whether he wanted to go back inside and apologize. He shook his head. She's the one that went behind my back. Why do I need to apologize? He sat there for a minute. Because I love her. This is so fucking confusing. He sat there. He laughed at himself for how stupid he was being. Gabi came out of the tent, in shorts and a teeshirt and sat down on his lap. She sat on one side and let her legs drape over the side of the chair. She kissed his cheek. "Forgive me?" Troy pulled her into him and kissed her on the lips. "So, do you?" Gabi asked. Troy laughed at her. "What?" Gabi asked, pouting, "Tell Me!" She squeeled. "Why don't I write it in my journal so you can steal it and make me go to McDonalds by myself." Gabi sat there, standing barefoot on the cold hard ground. She stared at him. He stood up and squeezed her so hard that her feet soon lifted off the ground, "Gabriella, chill." She laughed.
"Troy, but I have one tiny question." Gabi said as she sat on the beach underneath a towel. "Fire away." Troy said, turning to his girlfriend. "Do you mean everything you write?" He laughed and rolled his eyes, "Why else would I write it?" Gabi hugged him. "Maybe if you're lucky, you can read my journal." "It would only be fair." Troy said as he smiled.
They went back in the tent and Troy grabbed Gabi's journal out of her hands. "Well well well. So this is the day I finally get to see what you write books and books of." He laughed as he opened the light pink hardcover and flipped his fingers over pages and pages. The book was full, and to Troy's suprise, the first date was New Years Eve. In not even a year, she filled up a whole entire book. They went under the blankets and Gabi fell asleep as Troy read Gabi's journal by the light of the lattern that lit up the small tent.

Today was amazing day. Sometimes I think these are the days that describe why we live, and we find our true self. My mother made me go to this 'teen party'. I'm so glad I put down my book, okay she stole it, and went down the stairs. I met a boy. No, not just a boy. This Troy character got me to sing on stage, without saying a word to me. We sang that new song, The Start Of Something New. I actually sang. I was in the spotlight. Not even my mother or my best friend, if i had one, could make me do that. It was amazing. He was amazing. He's actually a really good singer. We talked for a bit, but I chickened out and left. He rambles. It's adorable. I think we almost kissed when the fireworks went off. Good thing, I mean, I don't want to have my first kiss with some kid I don't know. But I wish I would have. I guess I'll never see Troy ever again. That depresses me. I guess life can't always be good.
We're moving to New Mexico. I have to go to East High. It sounds like a big school. There has to be someone that I can be friends with. I'll keep me being smart on the down low. It's such a pain in the ass when people find out. They always want to copy off of me and crap. I hate it. Troy said he'd call me, but it's 6 and he hasn't called. I knew he was too good to be true. I was hoping maybe we could keep in touch and MAYBE we could even see eachother again. I guess not.

It's a small world, but an even bigger school. East High is huge. So many clubs, so many kids. There's a Scholastic Decatholan Team. There's one thing that I'm never doing again. Anyways. I'm sitting in homeroom, listening to this crazy creature 'Mrs. Darbus' talk, and I over hear someone talking about 'pink jelly'. The voice was so familiar. Then my phone rings. I almost died. Everyone pulled out their phones, including me. Guess who's calling? Troy. I was thinking about a big time change or something, and he doesn't know when to call or where I am. She took away my cellphone. I was crushed, I really wanted to talk to Troy, and ofcourse he calls during class, scoring me detention on the first day. As she took away the last kids phone I heard someone mummble 'way to go troy'. I look and there he is. I think my heart stopped a little. I thought he would blow me off after class to go hang out with this one kid with big hair, who was on the team with Troy. He plays basketball. I would have never guessed that from when I first met him. He didn't seem like a stuck up jock at all. Anyways, I walk out of class and he follows me. He shows me around the school... It was magical.
Besides that, the girl from the Scholastic Decatholan talked to me and asked me to join. I don't know how, but she found these papers of me from the newspaper. Whoever did that can die. After detention I called Katie. She had to move too. She didn't say where though. She had to leave. And I have to go. Life is amazing right now.

Troy turned another page, hoping it was full of thoughts about him, just like his was for Gabriella.

I love how you can change drastically. I found Troy at FreePeriod today. He was watching auditions. Finally when she called the last time, I responded. I needed a pair to sing with. Troy volenteered, even though I knew he didn't want to. Instead of letting us audition like normal poeople, she has to go and pick on Troy for playing basketball. We didn't get to audition but we helped Kelsie pick up papers on stage. We sung 'What I've Been Looking For'. It's amazing. And guess who got a call back. Us! x3

Troy laughed as he remembered that day. He flipped a few pages. Okay, alot of pages.
It is my sixteenth birthday today. Noone cares. Especially me. I kinda hope Troy calls. We haven't talked in a while. Maybe he won't. Maybe he forgot about me. Mom is calling me. Got to go.
Without a signature or anything, the entry was finnished. He turned the page.
I can't believe it. Troy came down for my sweet sixteen. He was standing in the doorway. Probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done. I don't want to write alot because I want to go hang out with this loser. I love him. He's amazing.

Troy laughed as he yawned. He set down the journal next to his and turned the lattern off. He pulled Gabriella close to him and ran his fingers through her hair, down her neck and slowly rubbed her back.. He smiled. She thinks I'm amazing? She's the one that is unbelievable. Troy thought as his bright blue eyes started to close.
Troy woke up. Gabriella was writing in her journal. Troy laughed, "You love writing." "As do you." She said pointing to the journal that was laying where hers once was. "I was reading it." Gabi laughed and set down the journal, "Find anything interesting." "Well, your name is in it about a zillion and four times if you haven't realized it yet." She kissed him on the cheek. "Well, that's no secret."
