Summary: It's been 10 years since the gang last saw each other. Finally what happens when they meet again at their high school's 10 year reunion? Will Troy want to be with Gabriella? Will Gabriella want to be with Troy? Who will want to be with who, if they want to be with someone?
Chapter 1:
The reunion:
Gabriella's POV:
As I start to walk up to East High, I start to see a whole bunch of familiar faces. First I see a lot of my friends from the scholastic decatholon team. Then once I walked into East High, I saw a real familiar face.
"Sharpay?" I yelled.
"Gabi!" Sharpay yelled as we ran together and hugged.
"Hi!" I said once we broke apart.
"Hey." Sharpay exclaimed.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Well, actaully I just got a teaching job at drama instute." Sharpay explained. Oh, yeah. I forgot all about her being a drama queen.
"Well congradulations on that." I said.
"Well how are you?" Sharpay asked.
"I'm good. I'm actaully a teacher at Frazer Elementary." I explained.
"Cool." Sharpay said.
"So, what about you and Troy? Did you guys come together at all? Did you stay together after high school? What happened?" Sharpay asked excitedly.
"Well actually, we didn't really keep in touch. We went to the same collage for one year. But then Troy got excepted into UCLA." I said.
"Oh, well at least you got to be together for a while." Sharpay said. "Me and Zeke did not keep in touch at all. After gradutation he didn't call, he didn't text or anything. I was going to, but then I decided he didn't really want to keep in touch if he didn't try himself."
"Yeah, well. That's pretty much the same with me and Troy." I said spotting Taylor.
"Taylor!" I yelled running up to her.
"Gabi! Sharpay!" She yelled when we all hugged.
"Hey!" Sharpay said.
"Wow, you both look exactly the same." Taylor said.
"Yeah, well..." I said.
"You don't." Sharpay said. I looked at her belly, and she was pregnat.
"You're pregnat?" Me and Sharpay both said at the same time.
"Yeah I am." Taylor said rubbing her tummy.
"With who?" Sharpay asked.
"His name is Todd." Taylor said.
"Well how does Chad feel about this?" Sharpay asked.
"Well I don't know. I just hope he wasn't planning to get back together with me tonight." Taylor said trying to find him. " I really want to tell him and get it over with."
"Let's go in the gym. I'm sure you'll find him in there." Sharpay said. "And I'm sure I can find Zeke in there."
"And I can find Troy." I said as we walked into the gym.
"Zeke!" Sharpay yelled right once she spotted Zeke.
"Uh..." Zeke said as Sharpay ran up to him and hugged him.
"Uh, excuse me. What are you doing?" Zeke's wife Tara asked.
"Oh, I didn't realize you were..." Sharpay said. "Well, nice seeing you again."
"Oh, I'm sorry Sharpay." I said giving her a hug.
"Sharpay wait." Zeke said running up to her.
"I'm sorry. I just didn't think you would want to pick up again. Or you might be married. So I just went and got married." Zeke said.
"I see that. Now, If you keep trying to talk to me your wife is going to get mad." Sharpay said sadly walking away.
"Hey Zeke." I said walking away.
"Hi Gabriella." Zeke said walking back to Tara.
"Who was that?" Tara asked sternly.
"My old high school girlfriend." Zeke said looking back at us.
"Oh, well stay away from her." Tara said.
"You know I can talk to her if I want Tara." Zeke said walking away.
"Chad!" Taylor yelled.
"Tay!" Chad yelled running up to Taylor and giving her a hug.
"Great. Now everyone has reaquainted except for me. I bet Troy didn't even come tonight. I bet he's married and has children, and he totally forgot about me." I said madly.
"What? Troy's not married. And he is siked to see you tonight. And trust me, he never forgot about you." Chad explained.
"Good. Hi Chad." I said giving Chad a hug.
"Hey Gabi." Chad said.
"Where'd Sharpay go?" Taylor asked.
"Uh..." I said once I spotted her sitting at a table all alone. So I walked over there.
"Hey. What do you say we go into the audotorium and see if Kelsi is in there. And it'll bring back a lot of happy memories." I said trying to cheer Sharpay up.
"Ok." Sharpay said getting up with me.
We walked into the audotorium. We walked down to the stage.
"Wow, this really does bring back happy memories." Sharpay said.
"Yeah. I remember when me and Troy beat you and Ryan out of the musical." I said not trying to make her mad or anything.
"Oh yeah. I was really mad. But I got over it. And we became friends." Sharpay said smiling.
"Yeah we did." I said then Kelsi ran onto the stage.
"Hey!" Kelsi said hugging me and Sharpay.
"Hey!" Me and Sharpay both said at the same time.
"I had a feeling we'd find you in here." I said.
"Yeah, well I practically live here." Kelsi said.
"What do you mean?" Sharpay asked.
"I work here. I manage the musicals." Kelsi said.
"Just as always." I said.
"Yeah. It's still just as fun as it was in high school." Kelsi said.
"Hey, Kelsi. Play What I've been looking for on the piano." Sharpay said smiling at me.
"Ok." Kelsi said starting to play.
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
That you were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always there beside me
This feelings like no other
I want you to know
That I've never had someone
That knows me like you do
The way you do
And I've never had someone
As good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before
I finally found
What I've been looking for...
Ooooooo Oooooooo
Then Troy walks in silently without me hearing. Then he jumps on the stage and wraps his arms around me.
"Hey Gabi!" Troy yelled.
"Oh my god! Hey Troy!" I yelled. Pulling him into a hug.
"Hey Troy." Sharpay and Kelsi both said at the same time.
"Oh my god I missed you!" I said breaking out of the hug.
"I missed you too." Troy said.
"Ah, we'll leave you two alone." Sharpay said pulling Kelsi with her out of the audotorium.
"Wow you look great!" Troy said.
"So do you." I said checking him out.
"I can't believe it's been 10 years since I last saw you." Troy said as we sat down in the front row.
"Well actaully it's only been 9. Because we went to the same collage for a year." I said correcting him.
"Right." Troy said smiling.
"But yeah. I didn't actaully think you were going to show up tonight." I said.
"What? I wouldn't miss this for the world." Troy said.
"Yeah. And I also thought you would be married and have kids, and totally forgotten about me. But then Chad said that you were siked to see me and weren't married. And boy was that a relief." I said.
"No. I'm not married. And I certainly did not nor could have forgotten about you." Troy said grabbing my hand.
"Good. I didn't forget about you either." I said.
"But how are you? Where are you living?" Troy asked.
"I'm living here actaually, and I'm a teacher at Frazer Elementary." I said hoping Troy lived somewhere near here.
"Wow. But I'm actually living in Los Angelos. And I'm a basketball coach at a high school up there." Troy said.
"Oh, wow. L.A. That's far." I said.
"Yeah it is pretty far." Troy said.
I didn't want to leave Troy again. I would be crushed if we just seperated again after the reunion.
"You know Gabriella I really do not want to have to leave you again." Troy said.
"Yeah. I don't want you to have to leave me again either." I said wondering what to do.
"We could get married." Troy said joking around.
"Yeah, right. We just saw each other again after 9 years and you want to get married." I said knowing he was really just joking.
"Well then what are we going to do?" Troy asked.
"Well what do you say we go into the gym. Get caught up with everyone, and then we talk about it over dinner?" I suggested.
"I say that sounds great." Troy said grabbing my hand as we walked out of the audotorium and walked into the gym.
Over by Sharpay and Zeke.
"Look Zeke I don't want to talk about it! You're married, and your wife I can tell doesn't like you talking to me." Sharpay said looking over at Tara who was starring at me with mad, mad eyes.
"Look. I can talk to you with or without her permission. Just please let me explain." Zeke pleaded.
"No, Zeke." Sharpay said.
Over by Taylor and Chad.
"So you're pregnat." Chad said sadly.
"Yeah. Are mad?" Taylor asked.
Todd walks over to Taylor.
"Hey baby. I think I'm gonna head out. It's really boring here since, I don't know anyone." Todd said.
"Ok. I don't know when I'll be home, so just don't wait up for me." Taylor said.
"Who are you?" Todd said noticing Chad.
"Uh, Todd this is Chad Danforth. Chad this is Todd Parson." Taylor said hoping Todd wouldn't get mad since I was talking to Chad.
"Oh. Hello." Tood said.
"Hi." Chad said with a mad tone.
"Yeah." Taylor said.
"Look it was nice seeing you again Taylor. I got to go." Chad said walking off.
"Yeah. Nice seeing you too." Taylor said sadly.
All of a sudden Stick Wit U from the Pussycat Dolls came on.
"Do you want to dance with me?" Todd asked.
"Sure, why not." Taylor said as Todd pulled her onto the floor.
Over my me and Troy.
"Dance with me?" Troy asked holding out his hand.
"Sure." I said as I pulled him onto the dance floor.
"So, where's Taylor?" Troy asked.
"Well it turns out she's married and is pregnat. And Chad's not too happy about that." I said.
"Oh. Who's she married to?" Troy asked.
"Some guy named Todd. He's a pretty nice guy. But I personally think she would be better off with Chad." I said.
"Yeah. Her and Chad were so cute together in high school." Troy said.
"But the person I really do feel sorry for is Sharpay." I said.
"Why? She seemed perfectly fine earlier when I saw her." Troy said.
"Well it turns out Zeke is married. And his wife does not like Sharpay being around Zeke." I explained.
"Zeke's married?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. When Sharpay tried to get even close to him his wife just told her to stay away from Zeke." I said.
"Oh. Well I guess we're the only 2 that worked out tonight." Troy said smiling.
"Well the only 2 out of our old high school gang." I said.
"Yeah." Troy said when the song ended and we went and sat over by Chad and Sharpay.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Troy asked.
But they didn't say anything.
"Uh hello. Sharpay? Chad?" I said.
"Zeke's married." Sharpay said sadly.
"Taylor's married and is pregnat with a kid." Chad said depressed.
"I'm sorry. But on the bright side you got to see everyone again." Troy said. Then me and him smiled with a ridiculous smile.
Taylor and Todd walk over to us.
"Hi guys." Taylor said.
"Hi Taylor." Me, Troy, and Sharpay said at the same time.
"Hello? Hi Chad." Taylor said. But he didn't answer.
"Hi." Chad barely said.
"Well you guys this is Todd." Taylor said.
"Hi." Sharpay and Troy said at the same time. Chad gets up and walks away.
"Ah huh. What's wrong with him?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know?" I said really knowing what was wrong with him.
"No clue." Sharpay said.
"Don't ask me." Troy said.
"I guess he's just jealous that I got to marry the most beautiful girl in the world." Todd said putting his arm around Taylor's waist.
Me and Sharpay look at each other with a weird face.
"I mean when he was with you, you probably looked like a sluthish, ugly, bitch." Todd said.
"Excuse me?" Taylor said getting ticked.
"Well you don't look like that right now." Todd said. "But I mean look at how he's dressed. He must of been pretty stupid to want to be with a girl like you. So you must of been pretty ugly."
Me and Sharpay said Ooooooooing.
"Todd. Go home." Taylor demanded.
"Whatever. I don't know any of these losers anyways." Todd said leaving.
"You married that guy?" I asked.
"Well I mean he is so hott. And he was really sweet when I first met him." Taylor explained.
"He's not hott!" Me and Sharpay both said.
"Yes he is." Taylor yelled.
"You think, a mustache and bad breath is hott?" Sharpay asked.
"Uh, I think I should let you 3 talk about this without me. I'm gonna go talk with other people." Troy said getting up. Taylor took his seat.
"Well I think his mustache is cute. And he does not have bad breath." Taylor said.
"Yes he does. And that mustache is not anywhere near cute." I said.
"Well if you want to go critisising my husband that I love. You go ahead and do it without me." Taylor said up set at us. And then she walked away.
"Taylor?" I said. "How could you love a man that called you ugly?"
"Oh, don't forget, a sluthish bitch." Sharpay said.
Zeke walks over to me and Sharpay.
"Hey guys." Zeke said. But Sharpay just walks away.
"Uh, yeah. Hi." I said.
"Hey Gabi." Zeke said. "So do you think you could convince Sharpay to talk to me? Because I really want to explain to her that I don't want to be fighting because I got married. I mean I had my share of love for her. And now I love someone else. But I still love Sharpay as like a sister or something. But she just can't except the fact that I'm married. I mean what do you think I should say to her?"
"Uh, I don't think I'm the person you should be talking about this to." I said.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Zeke said.
"I think you should talk to either Sharpay or someone that was a little closer to you than I was in high school." I suggested.
"Yeah. Maybe I should go talk to Chad." Zeke said.
"Uh. You might not want to talk to Chad, because he's already depressed enough about Taylor being married." I said.
"Taylor's married?" Zeke asked.
"Yeah to a jerk named Todd." I said.
"How is he a jerk?" Zeke asked.
"Well he was calling Taylor an ugly, sluthish bitch. And she doesn't even care." I said.
"What a jerk." Zeke said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Oh, there's Jason! I think I'll talk to him. Thanks for all your help Gabi. I'll talk to you later." Zeke said as he walked over to Jason.
"Great now I'm alone." I said looking for Troy. But I couldn't find him anywhere. So I decided to up to the roof.
When I got up there. No one was up there.
"Ok great. I bet Troy left." I said.
But then Troy came in.
"What makes you think I left?" Troy asked.
"Hey. Well you kind of just walked off, and I couldn't find you anywhere." I said.
"Well I didn't leave. That's for sure." Troy said.
"Yeah. Well the reunion is almost over and I'm not ready to leave. I wish I could just stay here until I'm caught up with everyone. And it seems like we were back in high school again." I said.
"Yeah. I know how you feel." Troy said.
"Cause you live in L.A. Taylor lives in Miami. Sharpay lives in New York City. Kelsi lives, well actaully Kelsi lives here. And I'm probably never going to ever see you guys again." I said getting sad.
"Hey what happened to us going out to dinner and working that out?" Troy asked.
"Well yeah. But what if we don't think of anything. Because neither of us could leave our job." I said starting to get up set.
"Well actaully, the basketball season is just about over. In about 1 month, I'll be free from the team." Troy said.
"Really? But I couldn't ask you to leave L.A. I mean your dream in high school was to be one of the Lakers." I said.
"I was one of the Lakers. I was on that team for 4 years. So you wouldn't be asking me to give up my dream. I've accomplished my dream." Troy said.
"Well congrads on that. But still it just wouldn't feel right." I said not knowing what to do.
"Look. The basketball season is almost over. I've already been on the Lakers team. And I have no life after that." Troy said.
"Are you sure you would want to move here?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm sure. I'll do anything, as long as it means being able to stay with you." Troy said.
"So do you really want to move back here?" I asked.
"Yes I do Gabi!" Troy said. "I want to move back here."
"Ok. So then I guess that means you'll be gone for like what 1 month. And then just call me before you come. My cell still has the same number." I said.
"Ok. And you can call me whenever you want. My cell has the same number too." Troy explained.
"Ok. Well I think we should go back into the gym and say bye to everyone." I said.
"Yeah." Troy said. Then we went back downstairs and went into the gym.
"Hey Gabi. I got to go." Sharpay said.
"Oh. Bye!" I said as we hugged.
"But I promise I will visit whenever I can. And I'll call like every day." Sharpay said.
"Ok. I'll call a lot too. And whenever I may be in New York I promise I'll be right over." I said.
"Ok. Bye." Sharpay said.
"See ya." I said.
"Bye Troy. Nice seeing you again." Sharpay said.
"See ya. Sharpay." Troy said.
"Well I think I should get going too." I said. "I'm gonna go quickly say bye to Taylor, and then I'll meet you in the parking lot."
"Ok. I need to say bye to some people also." Troy said as we walked our seperate ways.
"Bye Tay!" I said coming up to her and giving her a hug.
"You're leaving?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. But I promise I will call like everyday." I said.
"Yeah. Me too. And I'll try to visit a lot." Taylor said.
"Nice meeting you Todd." I said right before I was gonna walk away.
"Nice meeting you too..." Todd said.
"Oh. I'm Gabriella." I said.
"Oh, so you're Gabriella. Taylor has been talking about you a lot ever since she heard of the reunion." Todd said.
"Really?" I said.
"Yeah." Todd said.
"Well I'll see ya." I said giving Taylor one last hug. "Oh, and call me to tell me what your baby is. And tell me the name."
"Well actaully we already know what it's going to be. It's a girl. And we're naming her Gabriella." Taylor said.
"Really? You're naming her after me? Thanks you guys. Why?" I asked.
"Because you're my best friend. And I just love the name." Taylor said. "And Todd agreed."
"Thanks." I said. "So yeah call me."
"Yeah. Bye." Taylor said.
"Bye." I said. Then I walked out into the parking lot and didn't find Troy. So he must still be inside.
Inside.
"Ok. Well I got to go Chad." Troy said. "I hope things work out with you and Taylor."
"Thanks. See ya man." Chad said.
"Later. Oh yeah and in about a month I'm going to be moving back here with Gabriella, so if you're ever here give me a call." Troy said.
"Ok. See ya Troy." Chad said.
"See ya." Troy said an then walked off.
Outside.
"Come on Troy. You better not of left." I said talking to myself.
"Well don't worry I didn't." Troy said.
"Hey." I said. "So are you ready to go?"
"Yeah. Where do you want to go?" Troy asked.
"Surprise me." I said.
"Ok. Let me think." Troy said. He waited like 10 seconds. "I got it."
"Well I guess we both have our own cars so maybe I should just follow you." I suggested.
"Well why don't you just leave your car here and then you can get it after dinner?" Troy suggested.
"Ok. I guess that would work too." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him to his car. "Wait. Which one is your car?"
"It's over here." Troy said leading me to it. Then we got into the car, and drove to the resteraunt.
We ate at the resteraunt. And then we went back to East High.
"Ok. Well I guess I'll see you in about a month." I said getting out of the car.
"Yeah. I'll call you every other day telling you how everything is going." Troy said.
"Ok. And call me before you come back." I said.
"I will." Troy said. "Bye."
"Bye." I said. I really do not want to spend a month without Troy. I already had to spend 9 years without him. I just waved as he drove off. "Bye."
Then I got into my car and drove off.
The next day. My phone rang.
"Hello." I said.
"Hey Gabi." Troy said.
"Troy? You're already in L.A.?" I asked.
"No I just got on the plane this morning. I spent the night at the air port. And I'm still on the plane." Troy explained. "Did I wake you up?"
"No..." I said waiting for Troy to say something. "Well yeah."
"Yeah sorry about that." Troy said. "I just had to talk to someone."
"Well you can call me anytime from 6 am to midnight." I explained.
"Ok. I'll try to remember that." Troy said.
"Yeah, well today I have to go to work. Unlike you. You get to fly in an air plane and hang out in Los Angelos." I said jealous of Troy.
"Well once I get back to L.A. I actually have to go to practice." Troy explained.
"Oh good. I thought I would be the only one to have to work today." I said relieved.
"Well you aren't." Troy said.
"Yeah." I said. "But I'm gonna get dressed and so I'm gonna put you on speaker so I can still talk to you."
"Ok." Troy said. I put it on speaker.
"Ok. Are you still there?" I asked.
"I'm here." Troy said.
I start to get dressed into my clothes.
"So what grade do you teach?" Troy asked.
"I teach 2nd grade. And at times they act like they're pre-schoolers." I explained.
"Yeah. Little kids can be like that." Troy said.
"Yeah. But I've learned how to handle them." I said. "They all love having me as a teacher. They told me that themselves. I'm not trying to brag or anything."
"I believe it. How couldn't they love you?" Troy asked.
"Well as a teacher." I said correctively.
"Yeah." Troy said.
I put it off speaker.
"Ok, well I have to get going now." I said.
"Ok. I'll call you later. What time do you get done with school?" Troy asked.
"3:30." I said. "But I think I'm gonna call you on my lunch break too."
"Well what time is that?" Troy asked.
"11:30" I said.
"Oh. Well actually I'll be at practice around that time." Troy said as I got into my car. "Sorry."
"Oh that's ok. I'll just wait for you to call after school then." I said driving away.
"Yep, I guess you'll have to wait until then." Troy said.
"Well we're about to land now. And I got to get my stuff." Troy said. "Talk to you later."
"You better." I said.
"I miss you." Troy said with a sweet voice.
"Ah...I miss you too." I said with a really sweet voice. I don't know what to think. In a way I think I still love him. Yet in a way I don't really love him.
"Bye." Troy said.
"Bye." I said hanging up.
Then in anohter 5 minutes I drove up to the school and went into my class room.
"Hey morning Gabriella." Mr. Baker said walking into my room.
"Oh morning Jed." I said.
"So how was your reunion last night?" Jed asked walking up to my desk that I was sitting at.
"Oh it was great. I got to see all of my high school friends again. And I got to see my...well it was really fun." I said. I didn't want to tell Jed everything. I mean it was none of his business.
"That's good. So do you think today at lunch you might want to get some lunch at Subway?" I asked.
"Well actaully me and Jen were going to Burger King today." I said.
"Oh. Well today after school do you want to...oh I don't know...come over?" Jed asked.
"I don't know Jed. I'm really busy. So I don't know what I can or cannot do today." I said starting to get annoyed since Jed kept asking me to do stuff with him.
"Oh ok. How about tomorrow then?" Jed asked. That's it! I can't take it anymore!
"Jed! I said I'm busy!" I said. Jed stepped back. "I'm sorry. I'm just stressed with the children this week."
"It's ok. I understand." Jed said.
The bell rings.
"I'll see you after school." Jed said walking out.
"Yeah." I said right once the kids started rushing in. "Good morning class!"
"Morning" Two girls named Chelsie and Samantha said.
After school.
Jed walks in.
"Hey." Jed said.
"Hi Jed." I said then I started writing on the board.
"Ok. On Sauturday what do you say we catch a movie and you come over to my place so we can talk about stuff?" Jed suggested.
"I don't know Jed. Me going over to your house seems a little weird." I said. Then Jed walked up to me and stopped me from writing.
"Oh, come on. You know you want to." Jed said. And then he turned me to face him.
"What are you doing?" I said trying to break free of his grip on me. But then he grabbed my waist. "Jed!"
Then he pushed me onto the desk and practically laid on top of me. Then he tried to kiss me.
"Stop it!" I yelled but no one heard because everyone had left.
Then he covered my mouth. Then my phone rang. I'm guessing it was Troy.
"Look you tell anyone about this, you die! And I'm not just saying that to freak you out. I'm serious. I will kill you!" Jed said.
I started to cry.
1/2 hour later. I found myself lying on the floor.
"Jed!" I yelled. But he didn't answer.
"I got to call Troy." I said and then I called Troy.
"Hi Troy. I'm so sorry I didn't answer the phone earlier! I was...
Flashback:
"Look you tell anyone about this, you die! And I'm not just saying that to freak you out. I'm serious. I will kill you!"
End of Flashback...
You know what! I don't care!
"I was raped by one of teachers Troy." I said. Then Jed walked in.
"Oh god!" I said.
"What?" Troy asked with a scared voice.
"I told you not to tell anyone." Jed said pulling out a pocket knife.
I screamed.
"Gabi!" Troy said. "What's going on?"
Then Jed started chasing me.
I screamed again.
"GABI!" Troy yelled.
