Only If You're Really Sorry
Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own "High School Musical", although I wish I did. The movie and the characters belong to Disney Channel. The plot for this story is the only thing that I own.
AN: Hey everyone! Since I got so many reviews and requests for more, here it is! It's just a mother/daughter talk that kinda came to me while I was writing the last chapter, and this seemed as good a place as any to put it. I hope you enjoy it!

At a quarter to seven the following morning, Gabriella slowly walked down the stairs toward the kitchen. She had never been much of a morning person, and with last night, she hadn't gotten much sleep - too much to think about.
"Morning, Mom." She stifled a yawn.
"Hello, Gabriella. How'd you sleep?"
"Okay," she said as she poured herself a bowl of Cap'n Crunch.
"Good, glad to hear that," her mother replied. "So, honey, I noticed you and Troy are pretty close."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Well, that's nice. Just don't get too close to him."
Gabriella was suddenly awake. "Wait, is Mom telling me not to get too close to Troy? What is she thinking? That I'm falling in love with him?" Gabriella thought in horror. "Mom! What do you think is gonna happen?"
"Clam down, sweetheart. I didn't mean to upset you. I just don't want to see you get hurt," her mother said before pouring another cup of coffee.
Gabriella took a deep breath. "Okay. Sorry. I didn't mean to get upset like that. I just…overreacted a bit."
"It's all right," her mom said, glancing at her watch. "Oh, we'd better get going."
The two went out to the car. Ms. Montez spoke up first after their mini-fight in the kitchen. "Do you have any plans for this afternoon?"
"Troy and I have to rehearse for callbacks, I'm sure. After his basketball practice, maybe."
"Oh. That's nice," her mother replied as they pulled up to the school. "Have a nice day, Gabriella. And remember what I said."
"I will, Mom. Have a good day." Gabriella climbed out of the car and immediately spotted Troy. She instantly forgot everything her and her mother had discussed that morning.
