"That was really weird," said Gabriella.

"Just a bit," replied Troy.

"He's never usually like that," Gabriella replied. "He must have been drunk."

"He seemed pretty sober to me." Troy was right. He was sober. That was just so unlike him.

"What time's your flight?" asked Gabriella, sadly. He was leaving her again.

"4:00," replied Troy. "I really wish you could come with me."

"I'm going home to Denver for a week tomorrow. That's where my mom was transferred."

"Oh," replied Troy. "So that's why we never see each other. Wait, Gabby, do you have any classes today?"

"One, just Spanish, why?" Gabriella replied. Why did Troy care, she wondered to herself.

"Well," replied Troy. "I'm not allowed to bring friends on the plane with me, but, we could drive with Chad and Taylor."

"Wait, Troy, I'm lost, what are you talking about?"

"How about you come back to UCONN with me for the week?" asked Troy. "Taylor's coming. You two could spend some time together, and well, we could spend some time, too."

"Are you allowed to do that?" asked Gabriella. "Aren't there rules against it?"

"Not when you share a small house with Chad," replied Troy. "Our parents helped us pay for it. It's easier to come and go, and there are no dorm rules. Unless, well, you probably don't want to come. You're gonna see your mom. You're probably really excited." Troy was sounding disappointed now.

"I see my mom, a lot, Troy," said Gabriella. "Plus, I just wanna get outta here, and do something different. I'd love to come stay in your house with you. Chad and Taylor are old friends of mine, too, so it will be really fun."

"Yeah," said Troy. "It will be." He kissed her cheek. "We have to move quickly, though. "Chad leaves in an half an hour. We have to leave at 8:30. Here, I'm packed. I can take you over to your place if you want."

"How about I call Katie and ask her to pack me some clothes, and bring it to the door. Then, we can pick it up on our way out."

"Brilliant," Troy kissed her on the cheek. "Let's go talk to Chad and Taylor." They knocked on Chad's room which was next door to Troy's. "Chad, let us in. It's Troy and Gabby."

"Ah, so Gabriella is the girl who spent the night with you," a sly reporter who snuck up behind them said in triumph.

"How the hell did you get up here?" asked Troy angrily.

"I'm not an amateur like all the other dumbos down there, I used my brain."

"Well, you're not gonna have a brain if you don't leave."

"Well, that's a story. Troy Bolton's temper. I need a better title. Well, it was nice seeing you." He left.

"A reporter has never gotten up here before," Troy said puzzled. "I wonder how he did it."

Chad opened the door. "Wassamatter?" he asked.

"We have to leave in a half hour, Chad, what are you still doing in bed?" It dawned on him. "Oh."

"That did not happen. We didn't do anything. We just made out a little that's all."

"Right," replied Troy. "Gabby's in. We gotta stop by her place to pick up her stuff when we leave town. We'll go right by there anyway. It'll just take a sec. Her roommate is gonna make sure she's all packed, and she's gonna bring her bags to the door."

"Cool," said Chad. "Sounds like a plan."

"So how long's the drive?" asked Gabriella. They had just left her apartment.

"10 hours," replied Troy.

"What?" Gabriella half-yelled.

"We'll arrive back at about the same time as the team," Chad said. "Hey pretend we aren't here. You and Troy can do whatever you want. I don't care. Taylor and I will ignore you." Taylor was in the passenger seat beside the driver. Troy and Gabriella were in the back, both not really in a seat. They were spread out over the three seats comfortably. "Oh, and since you girls are good at this, we stop for food three times, but we always drive through so we don't lose time."

"Yeah," said Troy. "But it turns into like four or five stops for food. If we're hungry, we eat."

"It's a good thing you two are basketball players," laughed Taylor. "Otherwise you two would be the fattest people in the world."

"Well, what can I say," joked Chad. "Manly men need lots of food." He flexed his muscles. Taylor burst out laughing. "He playfully hit her.

"You can't hit a girl and be a guy," said Taylor.

"Then you're a lesbi…"

"Okay, you're a guy."

Troy and Gabriella looked at each other and smiled. "Well, those two haven't changed," Troy whispered in Gabriella's ear.

"Neither have we," Gabriella whispered back before throwing herself on top of him and making out with him.

((Okay okay…so that chappie wasn't as short as my other story…I couldn't stop…I did mapquest for the amount of time between the two schools and it was a little more than nine and a half hours…food makes it at least ten…so Gabby got away from David…yay!...now she gets to spend lots of time with her friends and the one she loves…see ya in a few…time to review…ooo it rhymes…XOXO, Christine))
