A/N: This is my first High School Musical fic. I decided to re-write it because I dug myself into a hole last time. The first chapter is actually just a recap of what I decided happened after the movie ended. I don't own anything except my characters, Jack, Isabella and others. Thanks for reading this and reviews are nice.

Chapter One: Life After High School

It had been the first and last musical for Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez. After that, Troy had excelled in sports, Gabriella in academics. The two of them dated for a while, but one day Troy broke it off. No explanation, reason, or why. Zeke and Sharpay dated for about a year then broke up. Sharpay blamed him and his baking for her sudden weight gain.

Chad and Taylor were high school sweethearts and ended up getting married. They still lived in Albuquerque with their two children, Derick and Danny. Chad had remained friends with Troy after high school and they went to the same college. Taylor now worked as a chemical engineer in downtown Albuquerque and Chad was a sports agent. They lived in a big house and sent their kids to East High School.

Gabriella went to college in California and married there. Her husband's name was Dean. He died three years after the wedding in a car accident. She returned to New Mexico later that year, but no one knew because she went by her middle name, Vanessa. She had also changed her last name when she got married. She had a daughter, Isabella Gabriella Meno. She was a year old when Vanessa moved back

Troy also got married. He married, of all people, Sharpay Evans. They were married four years after high school and had a baby that year. The baby was named Jack, after his grandfather. Troy and Sharpay had made a decision not to tell Jack about his father's one time musical performance, they would tell him only of Sharpay's theatric excellence. The also let him choose his own path in life, never pressuring him into anything.

Ryan Evans didn't get married. He dated a lot after high school but never found "the one." He hoped to and never lost hope. He truly believed that he would find her. He worked as a high school drama teacher... and yes, he figured out that drama was spelled D-R-A-M-A.
