A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I love it and I got them in class when we had free time, so they made me want to update. I started writing it in class, but had no time to finish it, so it might seem a bit odd. Just a warning

Previously: The first thing that caught her eye was a sports magazine. That issue was based on basketball and Troy was on the front page. Gabriella caught her breath. She didn't subscribe to any sports magazines. She looked down at the address and it was for the home next door. That made much more sense seeing that the husband was practically obsessed with sports and they had two sons who took after their father.

"They won't mind if I look at it for a bit. I need to find out what's going on with Troy," thought Gabriella to herself. She ignored all her bills and letters and slowly made her way to the living room to read the article on her long lost basketball star, Troy Bolton.

Chapter 2- OnlineTherapy

After walking to the living room, Gabriella started to sit down on her couch. "Ow!" She stood back up instantly and looked to see what was there. It was the remote control for her television. "Ugh," she said under her breath. She picked it up and put it on the coffee table before sitting back down.

"Troy Bolton's still strong...in both relationships and in basketball. Remember his girlfriend that he got oh, let's see... 4, 5 years ago? They're still together and Troy Bolton brought the house down last night with his winning basket..."

Gabriella couldn't read anymore. She threw the magazine down and ran to her room. How could he do this? He had said that he loved her and could never forget about her. Gabriella grabbed her senior yearbook and looked for Troy's message. She remembered him writing his new e-mail there. She couldn't believe that she hadn't thought about this before to get back in touch with him. She finally found it. "bballtroyb at tigers. com"(A/N: i made up the e-mail of course and it's because he plays for the Tigers. i just made it up right now. and i had to space it out because it wouldnt save when it was all together. and the at sign wouldn't save either, so i had to write it out. kay, back to the story) Gabriella picked herself up and walked to her computer with her yearbook.

Once she sat down in front of the computer, she opened up her e-mail and started to type Troy's in the Send spot. She moved the cursor to the Body section to write her message. Before she typed anything, she stopped. What would she say? How could she act like nothing was wrong? And how could she e-mail him telling him off about getting a girlfriend when they weren't even together anymore? Gabriella sighed and x-ed out of the window for the second time that day. Almost instantly, she opened up her e-mail account again and sent an e-mail to Chad telling him about what she had found out about Troy in the magazine and his e-mail, unless he had changed it.

Chad was on his lunch break when Gabriella e-mailed him, so he got her e-mail immediately. Chad couldn't believe Troy would do this to Gabriella. He thought it was just one of those tabloid rumors... well, that's what he hoped. He hadn't really had time to keep up on basketball stars, he had been so busy with his stars in his gym. He was grateful to Gabriella for telling him this and Troy's e-mail. Chad e-mailed Gabriella back thanking her, then opened a new message to send to Troy.

His message went something like this...

Hey, Man. It's Chad. Chad Danforth. Remember me? Your best friend and fellow teammate in basketball. What happened to you? You just stopped talking to us. Do you hate us or something? What's going on? We really miss you, especially Gabriella. She still loves you... and she saw an article about you and your girlfriend today and she's pissed. Just thought you should know. How could you do this? That's really besides the point right now, though. You never visit or anything. Man, Troy, you aren't the same Troy I hung out with at East High. Speaking of East High, I'm the coach here now. Like you'd care... I don't think you would. Either way, I just thought you'd like to know. I know you're busy and all, but try and keep in touch with your loving, High School friends?

- Chad

Out in L.A, Troy had just gotten home froma celebration. They had won the championships, thanks to his winning shot. He was tired, but he walked over to his computer out of habit. "1 new message!" was on his screen. He checked it and the minute he saw "It's Chad," he was going to delete the e-mail. He didn't want to be reminded of high school and his friends at that time. Sure, they've had some fun times, but had they brought him the fame that his teammates on Tigers did? But then something caught his eye... a certain name that was his first love, Gabriella. Troy froze. He had never thought that Gabriella would find out about him and Mandee. He was stunned. How in the world did this happen? He didn't care. All he needed was someone who didn't know him that he could talk to. Just then, like a miracle, a pop-up for a new website came up.

"Having troubles? Need somone to talk to? Can't talk to any of your friends or family? Just come to OnlineTherapy and your problems will be solved instantly," read the ad.

Troy thought about it. It sounded like what he needed at that moment. He clicked continue and was directed to the sign-up sheet.

At that moment, although neither of them knew, someone else had gotten the pop-up and was signing up, too.

OnlineTherapy randomly paired people up they thought could help each other out. It was like AIM, but different, if you understand.

Troy got an e-mail right after he finished signing up. "Whoa, that was fast," he thought. "bballstar, You have been paired up with foreverinlove. Thank you for joining," read the e-mail.

At the same time, someone back in Albuquerque got an e-mail saying, "foreverinlove, You have been paired up with bballstar. Thank you for joining."

I know, I know, It's short, but I have an excuse. See, I'm really busy tomorrow, so I really wanted to get this chapter up today, and I have to go like right now, so I had to end the chapter in a way, but I promise the others will be longer.

Read and Review!
