I looked at the clock wishing time would pass by sooner. I saw Coach Bolton standing in front of class grinning at us like an idiot. I shook my head and looked at the clock.
"It seems it is 9:30 and that means it's time for your final Anatomy exams. Please take out your pencils and put your name on the top of the sheet I am handing out to you. You will notice that the front and back of this sheet is numbered 1 through 100. The first 75 questions are multiple choices. The last 25 are in the back. You have to go through the fetal pigs and name the structures that are pinned." Coach told us passing out the sheets of paper.
"Now if for some reason you do not get through the entire test, come see me and we'll work something out. Any questions?" Coach asked the classing while looking around the room.
"Good Gabi whenever you are ready you may head back to the first table and look at the pig." Coach told me as I got up and walked to the back.
I was glad that I had the opportunity to work on the pig first then the rest written part of the exam. I looked at the pig and grinned to myself. This was going to be a piece of cake.
11:00 am
I walked out of Coach's room with a big grin on my face. Troy was leaning against the locker with his boyish grin in tow. I walked up to him and gave him a quick kiss.
"So how was the exam? Did you do all right?" Troy asked me taking my hand in his.
"I think I did amazing on the fetal pig part but I'm not sure on the multiple choice part." I told him as we walked into our English class.
"All right class let's settle down and we'll start presentations." The teacher told us as we all took our seats.
'Are you all right?' asked a note that Troy slipped over to me.
'I'm fine. I'm just glad my anatomy final is done.' I wrote back to him.
'That's good. I have a question for you.' Troy wrote back to me as I grinned.
'What kind of question do you have for me?' I wrote back to him.
'Um . . . Would you like to go on a date with me while we're still high schoolers?' Troy wrote to me as I looked at him in shock.
'I would love to go on a date with you while we're still high schoolers.' I wrote back sliding the note to the left.
'Great I'll pick you up on Saturday night at 5:30. I've got some tricks up my sleeve.' Troy wrote me.
'I can't wait to see what you have planned. What is the dress code?' I wrote back to him while paying attention to the student who was presenting in front of the class.
'Um. . . I have yet to decide but I'm thinking it's going to be very, very dressy.' Troy wrote back.
'Like Prom dressy or skirt and cute shirt dressy?' I questioned him.
'Prom dressy. Do you have a dress you can wear?' Troy questioned back.
'I just bought a dress that hasn't been worn yet.' I wrote back.
"Mr. Bolton and Miss Montez kindly pay attention from now on." Our teacher told us as we both looked at her.
I looked at Troy and just shook my head and grinned at him. I shook my head as I put all my attention into the students who were presenting.

I walked downstairs, still putting my earning in and walking into the kitchen. I leaned over and kissed Lucas' forehead as I walked over to where Mom was holding Tina.
"You look pretty Gabi." Mom told me rolling my eyes.
"Gabi pretty!" Lucas yelled from his high chair. I looked at mom and just rolled my eyes.
"Gabi, Dana and I were talking the other day and were wondering how long you and Troy had been going out for. We weren't sure on how long." Mom asked me in her own special way.
"Mom we've been going out since January 16, 2006. We've been going out for 28 months so far." I told her nodding my head.
"Wow we only thought you've been going out for like a year or so." Mom told me bouncing Tina on her hip.
"Sorry mom we have been going out for almost 2 1/2 years." I told her as I heard the doorbell ring.
"That's Troy. I've got my cell phone and I will be home later." I told mom while going and kissing her cheek. I walked to the hall and grabbed my purse.
I then walked quickly to the front door and saw Troy standing there with a goofy grin on his face. I leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss. He took my hand as we started to walk down my street.
"You look absolutely amazing babe. You blow me away every time I ask you to dress up." Troy told me as we to the house that had become our favorite spot to have dates.
"I try. But my mom picked this dress up for me the other day and I decided to wear it." I told him twirling around.
"Come on babe. We don't want to be late." Troy told me pushing open the door for me.
"Late for what? I thought we were on our own tonight." I told him looking inside the house.
"We are kind of on our own tonight but you'll see that later. Come on, let's go have dinner." Troy told me dropping my hand and pushing open the swinging door.
I walked into see the colors of red and white everywhere. There was a red table cloth with white roses on the table. There was red confetti on the white floor. It was absolutely beautiful.
"Is this a hint to something?" I asked him as he pulled out my chair for me.
"I just wanted to share our high school memories and I figured the first place was to start with our school colors." Troy told me taking the lid off our dinners. I looked at the plate and saw spaghetti with garlic bread.
I smiled as we started to eat. I looked at Troy and then around the room.
"How long have you been planning this date night?" I asked him wiping my mouth with my napkin.
"I've been planning it for a while. Between now and when we graduate, we probably will not be going on a date. So I just wanted to relive the memories with you." Troy told me reaching out and taking my hand in his.
"I can't believe we graduate in 5 days. It seems just yesterday that mom transferred here and I saw you again and now we're days away from graduating." I told him shaking my head.
"What I can't believe is that we've been dating for 28 months. Time sure does fly." Troy told me grinning.
"I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have that class with Darbus all those years ago. And now look at us and how happy we are." I told him as his cell phone rang.
Troy picked it up and looked at the caller I.D. He then answered it and gave it a weird look.
"Hey dad. What's up?" Troy asked as I heard Coach Bolton's reply on the other end.
"Yeah Gabi's with me. Why? Is something wrong?" Troy asked as Coach started to talk again.
"Sure hold on. Gabi dad wants to talk with you." Troy told me handing me the cell phone.
"Hey Gabi its Jack. I'm sorry if I'm interrupting your date but I wanted to let you know about your exam score." Coach told me.
"If it's bad, I don't want to know." I told him looking at Troy and smiling.
"It's not bad trust me. You got a 96 on your final exam for Anatomy which gives you a score of 98 overall in the class." Jack told me as I grinned.
"Thank you Jack. Thank you for calling." I told him while we both hung up.
"It must bee good news if you have a grin that big." Troy told me handing back his cell phone.
"I got a 96 on my exam and a 98 in the class." I told him as he looked at me.
"Well Congratulations is in order. Congratulations Gabi. See you were fine." Troy told me giving me a look.
"I know but the more I work myself over something, the harder I will study for it." I told him.
"Ahh I see. Now you can relax tonight and just focus on what we are going to do tonight." Troy told me as I finished eating.
"So do I get a hint about what we're going to do tonight?" I asked him looking at him and standing up.
"Well I guess I could give you a hint. We're going to the place where we spend the most of our time." Troy told me as I gave him a look.
"I'm thinking East High has something to do with tonight?" I asked him taking his hand in mine.
"You are correct. We're going to East high." Troy told me swing our hands back and forth.
"Why are we going there?" I asked him looking at him and grinning.
"You're going to have to wait until we get there. You will love it." Troy told me as I looked at him.
"How do you know I will love it?" I asked him as we approached the high school.
"I just know you very well and you're going to love it." Troy told me as we went up to the front doors.
I saw a pink envelope taped to the front window of the door. Troy motioned me to get it and open it up. I tore open the envelope and took out the slip of paper.
Gabi, this is where the fun begins. This is a total date night where we're going to spend the entire time remembering what took place at the various places during our high school careers. The first place we start is where we started every morning.
I finished reading and pulled open the door and walked inside the deserted hallways. I held Troy's hand as we walked down to our lockers.
"What's this?" I asked him looking at the blue envelope hanging on my locker. I tore open the envelope.
Remember what we did every morning before class? I do and you're standing here grinning, so I know you do. Open your locker and see what lies inside.
I finished reading the note and then spun the dial of my lock. 16-21-34. I pulled open the door and smiled when I saw the pink and peach roses in a vase in the middle of my locker. The vase was sitting on another envelope. I grabbed it and tore it open.
Now go to the place where we would go to after the lockers.
The note simply stated and we walked towards Mrs. Darbus' classroom. I looked around and saw no envelopes.
"Where am I going to look?" I asked Troy as he looked around the room.
"Hm . . . I don't know. Where did you usually sit?" Troy asked me smiling.
"Oh. I didn't think about that." I told him walking over to where I usually sat. I looked at the seat and saw nothing. I put my hand under the table and felt nothing.
"If you want me to get on the floor in this dress, you're nuts boy." I told him.
"You big baby. Feel with your hands under the seat. This is supposed to be for you, not me." Troy told me as I felt something taped to the seat.
I pulled open the envelope and pulled out the pink sheet of paper.
Gabi, this is where the fun begins. The next place on our little journey is where we spent our Friday nights. Go there but you have to put a blind fold on so you can be totally surprised. Have fun!
After reading the envelope, I turned around and looked at Troy. He was standing there with a grin on his face.
"You're enjoying this too much. Put the blindfold on so we can go to the gym." I told him grinning and turning around.
"You're hilarious! Bend down a little." Troy told me putting on the blindfold.
"Can you see anything? Actually, how many fingers am I holding up?" Troy asked me as I laughed.
"You're holding up 5 fingers." I told him as he tightened the blindfold a little.
"Now you're set. Take my hand and I will not run you into any doors." Troy promised me laughing.
"You better not or there will be hell to pay." I told him as I heard him open another door.
"Ok don't take off the blindfold until I tell you too." Troy told me as I heard the lights flick on.
"Ok, Gabi, you can take off the blindfold now." Troy told me as I pulled the blindfold off.
I looked around the room at amazement. There were balloons and confetti everywhere. There were also pictures of us sitting around the gym. I walked around looking at the photos. There were pictures of us from the play our sophomore year, homecoming during junior and senior years, and every event that we had celebrated together during our high school careers. There were pictures there I didn't even know existed.
"Where did you get these pictures?" I asked him looking at all the photographs.
"Friends of the two of us, yearbook staff, and the parents." Troy told me as I went and sat down in the middle of the gym floor.
"Remember when back to when we went the championship during our senior year? You had to come calm me down because I was so nervous." Troy told me as I looked at him.
"You were acting strangely. Did anything I say stick with you?" I asked him looking at the photos again.
"You told me to kick some West High Knight butt." Troy told me grinning.
"How did I know you would remember that and only that?" I asked him shaking my head.
"Because you told me to kick their butt and we did." Troy told me.
"Remember when you took me out of class after the shooting and you tried to calm me down? You said so many things that calmed me down." I told him as he kissed my forehead.
"I tried and I was successful. Look at you know. You're going to graduate high school and then you're going to go to college and one day, get married to me." Troy told me holding out his hand and I grabbed it.
"Well look at you. You're graduating with honors, Troy. You successfully completed 4 years of basketball. You're friends with most of the high school. And you're a normal dude, not some basketball man." I told him.
"You were the one that helped me through that. You made me see things from their perspective. You made me realize that I am someone who is normal and regular." Troy told me.
"Well you helped me realize that I'm not just the freaky math girl. You helped me realize that people liked me for other reasons." I told him cuddling closer to him.
"We've done a lot for each other, haven't we?" Troy asked me looking at me and pushing my hair off to one side.
"We have. We've been there for each other every time we've needed one another. I'm just scared that we won't be there for each other one time." I told him looking at him.
"I will be here when you need me. I'm just a phone call away." Troy told me giving me a kiss.
We sat there for a while and just looked around and thought about everything that had taken place there in the past 3 years.
"You ready to go?" Troy asked me while I gave him a look.
"Yeah. Is the night over so soon?" I asked him looking at my silver and red watch.
"No the night isn't over until I take you home and no one has mentioned anything about home yet." Troy told me dropping a kiss on my lips.
Troy grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the gym and back out to the outside. We walked along and just talked about who knows what.
"Now where?" I asked him walking around and looking up at the sky.
"Um . . . I'm thinking of somewhere we spent a lot of time." Troy told me as I looked at him.
"That could be anywhere." I told him rolling my eyes.
"No I want you to think really hard." Troy told me as we turned onto my street.
"I'm thinking we're going to go sit on my porch and talk about college." I told him grinning.
"I think you're right." Troy told me as he walked up to my front porch.
We sat down on the swing and I sat down next to him. I laced my fingers together with his and laid my head down on his shoulder. I sighed in contentment. I stood up while grinning at Troy.
"Mr. Troy Bolton, may I have this dance?" I asked him the familiar question that he had asked me millions of times.
"You, my love, may have all the dances of our lives." Troy told me repeating my familiar answer.
We danced to a tune that only the two of us heard. When that tune ended, another one started. We were out there for 2 hours just slow dancing and talking quietly.
At 10 pm, we walked out to my backyard and laid on the dew covered grass. We continued to hold hands and looked at the stars.
"Do you think the stars hold our futures in their brightness?" I asked Troy as he looked at me.
"I do and I see our whole future up there." Troy told me looking me deep in the eyes.
"Well what do the stars hold for our future?" I asked him looking up at the big dipper.
"We're going to get married by the summer before our senior year, we're going to finish college together and have great jobs, and then we're going to have a houseful of kids." Troy told me as I looked at him.
"We're going to have the best life possible. Just you watch and see." I told Troy looking at him.
"Have you decided what you want to study in college?" Troy asked me looking at me.
"I want to study Physical Therapy. I want to help people walk again." I told him while looking at him.
"That's a good idea. You'll be great at that." Troy told me as I looked at him.
"What do you want to do? Have you decided yet?" I asked him playing with his class ring on his hand.
"I'm thinking I want to be a physical education major with a minor in education." Troy told me.
"Of course you'll be good at that." I told him looking at him.
"A physical therapy major and a physical education major. We just like being physical." Troy told me as I rolled my eyes.
"Hahaha funny guy. You ain't getting anything until we're married." I told him giving him a kiss.
We stayed out there until midnight and then I saw my mom moving around within the house. I got up off the grass and helped Troy up. We walked silently to the front of the house and gave each other a kiss goodnight. Troy watched me go into the house and then turned and left.
