"Can you believe we only have 13 more days until graduation?" Chad asked us as we sat around our usual table.

"Don't remind me. I've got so much that I have to do before that day." I whined to him Taylor agreeing with me 100.

"Like what? No teacher in their right mind will be giving us seniors exams." Chad told me shooting me a look.

"Um . . . Coach Bolton's giving an Anatomy final that is going to be the death of me." I told him shooting him a glare and turning back to my Anatomy notes.

"That sucks for you. None of my teachers aren't giving me exams. I must be a special student." Chad told us proudly for which Troy, Taylor, and I all rolled our eyes.

"Chad you must be special ed! No teacher in their right mind would consider you special!" I told him as he threw me a deadly glare.

"That was totally uncalled for Gabriella. Are you going to do something, Troy?" Chad asked looking at his best friend.

"I'm not getting in between the two of you guys." Troy told us as I shook my head.

"You want to go for it now or later?" Chad asked me shaking my head.

"Hm . . . How about later because I don't feel like breaking a nail right at the moment?" I told him.

"Since when have you worried about breaking nails?" Chad asked me giving me a look.

"Since now so just sit down and shut up. I don't want to deal with you right now." I told him flipping through my Anatomy notes.

"Well I just don't want to deal with you either." Chad told me twirling the basketball on his finger.

Kelsi, Jason, Sharpay, and Ryan all walked up to the table and looked at how Chad and I were acting.

"What's up with the two of them?" Sharpay asked as I stuck my tongue out at Chad.

"They're fighting right now. But really they are acting more like 2 year olds." Troy told Sharpay as I turned and looked at him.

"Me act like a 2 year old? You have that confused with Chad." I told him turning back to my notes.

"Nah your boyfriend pinned the tail on the donkey when he was talking about acting like a 2 year old." Chad said as I looked at Kelsi, Troy, Taylor, Jason, Sharpay, Ryan, and Taylor all trying not to laugh.

"I'm out of here. I've got a test I've got to study for." I told them picking up all of my stuff and walking out of the cafeteria.

I walked down to the gym and peered in the windows on the door. I saw the lights on but no one was in there. I cautiously opened the door and walked in. I threw all my stuff against the wall and picked up a basketball. I walked over to the three point line and threw the ball up. It went into the basket perfectly and I grinned as I ran to get the ball.

I continued to play until I heard the doors open. I didn't look up but continued to make baskets.

"You know for a girl who claims to never play basketball, you're pretty good." Chad's voice interrupted me as I took a shoot. The ball didn't go in.

"Thanks for ruining the peace and quiet." I told him chasing after the basketball.

"Not a problem. Look Gabi, I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings." Chad told me taking the ball out of my hands.

"Nah you didn't hurt my feelings. I just hate arguing with good friends." I told him.

"Well I hate fighting with best friends. You've done a lot for me and everyone else in our group of friends. I would hate to lose you because of a stupid fight." Chad told me wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Now are we friends again?" I asked him grinning.

"Sure we can be friends again. Look here come Troy and Taylor." Chad told me as we both watched the two come over to us.

"Are you two cool again?" Troy asked me as I nodded my head.

"Yeah we kissed and made up." I told him laughing at the look on Chad's face.

"Man she's lying. I didn't kiss her! I swear." Chad told Troy looking at me.

"He came on to me. I swear." I told Troy looking at Chad the entire time.

"Gabi stop. These last few days of school you've been going nuts. Are you sure everything is ok?" Troy asked me grinning.

"Everything is great. I'm going to class if anyone wants to join me." I said skipping out of the gym.

3:30 pm

I giggled while Troy swung our hands back and forth. School had just gotten out and we were walking home. I was keeping to myself and not saying much. I knew Troy was worried about me and he would eventually question me about it.

I looked up and saw that we were stopped in front of my house. Troy tugged on my hand and led me up to the swing. We both sat down before Troy started to talk.

"Gabi, I want you to be honest with me. Is something going on?" Troy asked me.

"I'm just stressed about my exams, your father's in particular. His is going to be the toughest ever." I told him while playing with his hand.

"Is there anything I can do to relieve the stress?" Troy asked me looking at my ring on my left hand. That particular ring, Troy had gotten me for our first anniversary.

"I don't think so. Just be there when I need someone to talk to." I told him looking at him.

"What are you doing tomorrow? It's Saturday and I hope you don't have plans." Troy asked me looking at the joggers on the sidewalk.

"I don't think anything. Why?" I asked him squeezing his hand and looking at him.

"Meet me at my house at 10 am. It's a surprise." Troy told me giving me a kiss on my cheek.

"Ok what do I need to wear?" I asked him as he got up from the swing.

"Wear jeans and a t-shirt, if you have one." Troy told me showing off his boyish grin.

"I've got plenty of t-shirts. I think I can find one that I can wear tomorrow." I told him getting up and wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"Great. I will see you tomorrow at 10 am. Bye babe." Troy told me kissing my cheek and running off.

"Something has gotten into that boy and I have yet to figure it out." I told myself walking into the house to see my mom with her hands full with Tina and Lucas.

"Gabi will you take Lucas upstairs and put him to bed? He's getting cranky." Mom told me as I took Lucas from her.

I walked upstairs and placed Lucas in his crib. I covered him up and walked out of the room. I went into my room and sat on the unmade bed. I smiled thinking about what Troy could have up his sleeve for tomorrow.

May 10, 2008 9:50 am

"All right mom, I'm leaving." I yelled walking towards the door. Mom walked behind me looking at me.

"Where are you going at 10 o'clock in the morning?" Mom asked me looking at me.

"Troy told me to meet him at his house at 10 this morning. I have no idea where I'm going. I have my cell phone." I told her leaning over and giving her a kiss.

"Be careful my girl and have fun." Mom told me as I rolled my eyes.

"Mom I'm with Troy. I'll be perfectly safe." I told her yanking open the door and walking out.

I walked over to Troy's house with my mind full of different things. My brain was filled with various things, from Anatomy to Graduation to college. I was excited to see what Troy had up his sleeve.

I walked up Troy's driveway and went to ring the doorbell. Hannah's grinning face greeted me as I walked inside.

"Hey Hannah! Where is your brother?" I asked her as she opened the door for me.

"Troy's upstairs and Nathan is in the kitchen with mom." Hannah told me laughing.

"That's right you do have two brothers now. How could I have forgotten?" I asked her smiling.

"I have no idea. Mom's in the kitchen if you want to go see her. I'll go get Troy." Hannah told me as I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Dana how's it going?" I asked her as she spun around and looked at me.

"Gabi you're here awfully early. It's going pretty good." Dana told me.

"Blame that one on Troy. He told me to get here at 10 am. He's got some surprise up his sleeve." I told her giving her a look.

"Sorry Gabi I don't know what's up his sleeve. So how's your mom doing?" Dana asked me as I heard movement from upstairs.

"She's doing well. She's been busy with Lucas and Tina but other than that work is keeping her pretty busy." I told her as I saw Troy standing in the door way with a lazy grin on his face.

"Morning my darling. And how are you today?" Troy asked me as he came over and dropped a kiss on my lips.

"Quite well. And how are you my knight in shining armor?" I asked him grabbing his hand.

"Quite well. Are you ready for our adventure?" Troy asked me helping me to my feet.

"As ready as I'll ever be. Where are we going?" I asked him excitement evident.

"You will have to be patient. Mom if you need me call my cell. I'm not going to tell you where we are going. Ask dad, he'll tell you." Troy told his mother as the two of us walked to the door.

"Be careful you two and have fun." Dana yelled to us as we pulled open the heavy door.

"Bye mom. We'll be back later." Troy yelled shutting the door and grabbing my hand.

We walked in silence for a couple of minutes before I broke it. I grinned as Troy swung our hands back and forth.

"So where are we going on a fine Saturday morning?" I asked him.

"Good try but you're not going to find out until we get there. You're going to have to be patient." Troy told me squeezing my hand.

"So can I ask yes or no question and you have to answer them?" I asked him.

"Go for it but I have the option of not answering them." Troy told me setting his standards.

"That's fair. Ok first question does it have to do with school?" I asked him watching his facial expression.

"Yes it has to do with school. Next question." Troy told me as I noticed we were heading towards the school.

"Is this for my benefit?" I asked him as we stopped in front of the school's main entrance.

"It is totally for your benefit only." Troy told me grinning.

"Now where do we go?" I asked him as he opened the door for me to walk in.

"Follow me and you will see." Troy told me knocking on a classroom door and then opening it.

I walked in and saw Taylor standing there grinning. I walked over to where she was and looked at her.

"In order to move on to the next stop, you must answer this one question correctly." Taylor told me as I nodded my head.

"What are the tow lower chambers of the heart called?" Taylor asked me as I looked at her.

"The two lower chambers of the heart are called ventricles." I told her.

"Correct you may move on." Taylor told me while Troy led me to the next classroom which Chad was standing.

"Your next question is name the origin, insertion, and action of the pectoralis major." Chad told me grinning.

"The origin is ribs and clavicle; the insertion is humerus; and the action is adducts and flexes arm." I told him grinning.

"Correct you may advance." Chad told me as we walked into another classroom where Zeke was standing.

"Your next question is what does the sclera of the eye do?" Zeke asked me as I tapped my foot and thought to myself.

"The sclera gives the eyeball its shape." I told him watching his face for any sign.

"Correct. You may advance now." Zeke told me as I turned to Troy.

"Thank you so much for this. I love you." I told him before we went into another room.

Ryan was standing there looking at Troy and I grinning. I threw my head back and groaned.

"Gabi your next question is name the valve that separates the right atrium from the right ventricle." Ryan told me.

"The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle." I told him proud of myself.

"Correct. You may enter the next room." Ryan told me as we walked into another classroom.

This time Sharpay was standing there grinning at me. I looked at the table and saw a model of the ear.

"Your next question is what the names of the three smallest bones called? For extra credit, what are the three bones known collectively as?" Sharpay asked me.

"The three names are Malleus, Incus, and Stapes. They are collective known as Auditory Ossicles." I told her as she nodded her head.

"You may advance now." Sharpay told me as we walked into another classroom this time Kelsi was standing at the front.

"Name the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle." Kelsi told me. I started to panic because I couldn't remember the name.

"Um . . . the mitral." I told her as she grinned at me.

"Correct. Troy show her into the next room." Kelsi told while Troy squeezed my hand.

"The next question for the lady is name of the vein that carries blood from the lungs to the left atrium." Jason asked me.

"The pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the left atrium." I told him.

"Correct you may now proceed with Troy's help." Jason told me as Troy led me out to the hallway.

"Thank you so much for doing this." I told Troy giving him a hug and looking at him.

"We're not done yet, Princess. We still have a little bit to go." Troy told me leading me to another classroom.

He opened the door and all of our friends were sitting in the chairs. I walked in and saw his dad standing at the desk.

"Good morning Coach Bolton." I told him placing my hands on the desk and leaning. Troy went and sat in one of the chairs.

"Good morning Gabi. How have you done so far?" Coach asked me as I looked at my friends' faces.

"Very well. I had a little trouble with Kelsi's question but I've done well." I told him.

"Well this may be the hardest part yet. You are to take this piece of paper and go back to the lab. I'm going to give you 45 minutes to fill in as many as these as you can. I will call time when it is up. Are you ready?" Coach asked me.

"Yup. Can I start now?" I asked him as I walked back to the lab, which there were 5 fetal pigs sitting there with pins in various places.

"Ok Gabi you may begin." Coach told me as I sat down at the table with the first pig.

Forty five minutes passed by in an instance. Before I knew it, Coach was telling me time. I managed to get through all five of the pigs. I walked up to the front and handed the paper to him. He smiled at me as I walked over to a chair and threw my head back.

"Are you all right, Gabi?" Ryan asked me as I picked my head up and looked at him.

"I will be once I see the results on that paper." I told him looking at the homework board.

"You will be fine. You've all ready studied your butt off and exams are another week away." Taylor told me as I shook my head.

"I've got to start studying if I want to make it into a good nursing school." I told them as Coach Bolton came over to where I was sitting.

"I think you're going to make a fine nurse someday." Coach told me handing me the paper.

I got 95 out of 100 correct. I was grinning at him as I looked over the paper.

"Why can't I remember where the pulmonary veins are on the pig?" I asked Coach Bolton as we walked back to the lab.

"Remember that blue means to the heart and red means away from the heart. Look right there. That's the pulmonary veins." Coach told me as I took the pin and poked it.

"All right I see it now." I told him looking at the pig. I saw Troy walk back to where his dad and I was.

"Congratulations babe. I think you are going to be a great nurse." Troy told me giving me a kiss.

"Thank you so much for getting all of our friends together and doing this." I told him giving him a hug.

"Well the funs not over yet. We're going out to lunch and then to a movie." Troy told me linking arms with me.

The nine of us walked out of the classroom and got into our cars that were waiting in the parking lot. We drove to a local restaurant and had burgers and fries before heading to the movie theatre. Grease was playing as we settled in for a long afternoon of old time movies.
