"Troy?"

" Gabi?"

they both were silent for about 1 minute.

"Wow so it's been what 10 years already" said Troy trying to make a conversation.

"Yea I can't believe it" said Gabi slightly smiling. Troy was hesitant at first but then he asked her about her ring.

"Um so are you getting married?"

Gabi had a "What are you talking about?" look on her face but when she noticed that he was looking at her ring she smiled.

"Oh no um my mom gave me that ring…."

She paused as tears came out her eyes.

"Before she died" tears were rolling down Gabi's check as she said those words. Troy felt really bad he shouldn't have asked.

"I'm sorry".

"It's not your fault" said Gabi with sadness in her voice.

Troy noticed this and tried to make her feel happy. His usual twinkle came back in his eyes and he gave her his best smile.

"Yea so I'm sorry I bumped into you I'm a klutz". Gabi giggled and she smiled.

"So if you're not busy right now do you want to get something to eat?" Gabi thought for a moment.

"Ok"

with that they walked off to Joe's café. They talked about all the good times in east high and all their old friends. They each avoided talking about the dance and the fight. Gabi stole a look at Troy.

She thought he was cute in high school but now he looked hot. His hair was still light brown and was the same length. He had a tan and from his basketball playing had grown muscles. He had on sweats and a t shirt.

Troy also stole a glance at Gabi. He was lost in her beauty. Her giggle was still as sweet and still echoed through his mind. Her hair was loose letting her natural curls fall freely and she had 2 pink pins in her hair. She was wearing a short sleeved light pink t shirt and light blue jeans with a matching pink belt. When they noticed they were looking at each other they quickly turned and blushed.

When Troy looked at the time he thought he was seeing things. It was already 5:00 he had to go home now.

"Well Gabi this was fun but I got to go"

"Me too" said Gabi while getting up.

"Um... well I'll call you tomorrow is your cell phone number still the same?" asked Troy.

"Yea what about you?" asked Gabi.

"Yea" with that said they rushed off. When Troy got home he was beat. He lied down on his bed and before going to sleep he sung The Start of Something New.

Then he went to bed. 4 hours later Sharpay inside yelling

"I'm home" when nobody answered she walked curiously to Troy's room to find him asleep. She smiled and went to watch T.V.

At Gabi's house:

Gabi called Taylor as soon as she got home. She still kept in touch with her.

"Hello?" answered Taylor.

"Hey it's me Gabi"

"Hey Gabi what's up"

"You'll never believe who I saw today"

"Who?" asked Taylor curious.

"Troy Bolton!" squealed Gabi.

"Oh my god!" squealed Taylor. "Spill all"

"Ok fine" said Gabi smiling on the other line.

"Well I was at the mall and someone just ran into the store and bumped into me and when I looked up it was Troy so then we talked for a while and he asked me if I wanted to get something to eat and I said yes and then we ate and talked and he had to go but he asked me if my phone number was the same and I said yea and I asked him if his was the same and he said yea and he said he'll call me tomorrow"

said Gabi out of breath.

"Oh my god you have to call him" said Taylor squealing like a five year old.

"Um….ok" said Gabi a little nervous.

"Ok call me back and tell me everything he says". When the two girls hung up Gabi dialed Troy's number she was nervous but she still did it.

At Troy's house:

"Were breaking free…." Sharpay heard Troy's phone ringing. She didn't want him to wake up so she got his cell phone but when she saw the caller I.D she gasped. The caller I.D said Gabriella Montez...
