Disclaimer: Not mine, don't sue. I also don't own any of the actors mentioned. They merely portray the characters that I am using in this story.

A/N: This is the trailer for my next HSM story, "Keep the Faith." Enjoy!

Once again, I am going with the theory that they were Juniors in the movie, hence the 2007 date and Troy being eighteen.

Keep the Faith

(Bon Jovi's "Keep the Faith" plays)

Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, and Sharpay are in a convenience store, laughing as they wait to check out.

The screen fades to black.

We see two men in ski masks walk into the store, waving guns and shouting at the customers. The action slows as the four friends fall to the ground, covering their heads with their arms.

The screen goes to black as a gunshot is heard.

We see Troy lying on the floor in a pool of blood, his eyes closed. Gabriella is kneeling next to him, crying hysterically as she tries to slow the bleeding with her sweater. Sharpay and Ryan are next to her, panicked.

The screen blacks out.

Voice Over: He was her world. Her one true love.

We see Gabriella and Troy, their faces inches apart. Troy slowly dips his face toward hers, appearing to kiss her.

V.O.: A single shot changes that forever.

We see a large crowd of people, dressed in black, circling a grave. Gabriella is standing near Mr. and Mrs. Bolton. Both women appeared changed. Their faces are pale and drawn, their eyes rimmed with red as tears stream down their cheeks.

The shot changes and we see Gabriella laying a single rose on the fresh grave. The camera pans out and we can read the tombstone: "TroyMichael Bolton. January 12, 1989-February 14, 2007."

The scene changes again and we see Gabriella lying, fully clothed, on her bed, eyes wide open as she stares blankly at the ceiling.

The screen fades as words appear in white:

"When times are hardest-"

We see Gabriella standing in the gym, staring at the basketball hoops.

The scene changes and we see Mrs. Bolton sitting at her kitchen table, pictures of Troy spread in front of her. A half-full bottle of vodka is sitting in front of her.

The scene changes again and we see the basketball team, solemnly putting on their jerseys before a game. Chad isn't there. Jason and Zeke appear to have taken over leadership of the team. They stand in front of the others, discussing strategy for the game. Each jersey has the number 14 stitched onto the right shoulder in black.

"When it seems like we can't go on-"

We see Jack Bolton throwing things into a box. He appears to be cleaning out his office.

The scene changes and we see Gabriella staring at a letter. The camera angles behind her and we can see that it is an acceptance letter to Stanford. Gabriella crumples the paper and tosses it in the trash.

The scene changes again and we see the cast of the spring musical, practicing a number. Suddenly, Sharpay stops and runs off the stage. We follow her into the hallway where she slides down the wall, burying her face in her hands as she cries.

The scene changes and we see Kelsi is sitting at the piano, leaning forward and writing on a notepad. She sits straight and plays a few notes on the piano, but stops suddenly. Picking up the paper, she looks at it sadly before letting it slide to the ground. She puts her head onto her arms, pressing down the keys of the piano.

"Someone is always there to pick us up-"

We see Ryan standing in the doorway of the music room, watching Gabriella as she sits at the piano. She looks up, and their eyes meet as he crosses the room to her.

The scene changes and we see Zeke comforting Sharpay, his arms around her as she sobs brokenly into his shoulder.

The scene changes again and we see Chad and Taylor standing in a hall, holding each other tightly.

The scene changes yet again, and we see Jason tip Kelsi's face toward him, tenderly reaching out to brush tears from her cheeks. Her face crumples and she collapses into his arms.

The scene changes again and we see Jack taking a bottle of alcohol from his wife. We can hear that he is yelling at her, tears streaming down his face as he does. She appears ashamed, collapsing into her husband's arms and sobbing.

V.O.: Vanessa Anne Hudgens

We see Gabriella standing at Troy's grave, running her fingers along the letters of his name.

Lucas Grabeel

We see Ryan tipping Gabriella's face toward him. He leans in as if to kiss her.

Ashley Tisdale

We see Sharpay on stage, singing during a rehearsal for the musical. She turns and smiles at someone offscreen.

Bart Johnson

We see Jack standing in his empty office, holding a picture of Troy in his hands. He turns abruptly and hurls it against a wall, the glass of the frame shattering.

Leslie Pomeroy

We see Mrs. Bolton standing in her kitchen, her hands shaking as she tries to pour herself a cup of coffee. The pot slips from her grasp and falls to the floor.

Corbin Bleu

We see Chad looking stonily at something in the distance. It is clear that he is struggling not to cry.

Monique Coleman

We see Taylor sitting in the chemistry lab, her head resting on her hand as she looks at the board. She smiles, turning to her notebook and writing something down.

Chris Warren, Jr.

We see Zeke closing his locker in the locker room. He quickly dries his hair with a towel. As he goes to walk toward the door, he catches sight of Troy's locker, and the expression on his face turns solemn.

Ryne Sandorn

We see Jason standing in front of a basketball hoop in the gym, absently spinning it in his hands. Shaking his head, he tosses the ball over his shoulder as he turns and walks away into the locker room

Olyesa Rulin

Kelsi stands quietly behind Ms. Darbus as they conduct auditions for the musical. She doesn't appear to be paying attention as she gazes out across the people seated in the auditorium.

And

Zac Efron

We see Troy stand up, slowly advancing toward the gunmen. He holds up his hands and steps back slightly as one of them turns the gun toward him.

Keep the Faith

Coming soon to a computer near you.

A/N: That story will be a fun one. Not. Look for it soon!
