Chapter 3: Keep On Movin', Movin On Up!

Sharpay looked down at the bracelet Troy had gaven to her on graduation day. She placed it on her wrist, and threw the teal box into a cardboard box. She wrestled through her drawers while she threw everything inside in the boxes that laid around the room.

"So, are you ready for college?" Gabriella said excitedly. Gabbi was there to help Sharpay pack up all her stuff for college.

"I am SOOO ready! Going to Fashion School in L.A. is going to be so great! And you and Taylor will be down the street, attending L.A.'s most Elaborate Science and Biology College in the U.S.! And, we're going to LIVE TOGETEHR!" Sharpay squealed as she threw her sheets, comforter and pillow into the last box."There. All finished. Now lets carry theses down to the trailer. Gabriella and Sharpay grabbed the boxes, making several trips down and up the steps to Sharpay's room.

"Well, that was a hassle! Of course all I packed was clothes and essentials, so It weighted like, 10 pounds!" Gabriella laughed."Come On! Let's go help Ryan and Taylor so we can get the heck out of here!" Sharpay said as she grabbed Gabriella's hand. They raced up to the room directly across from Sharpay's.

There, Taylor and Ryan were taping up boxes."Hey, need help?" Sharpay asked. Ryan zipped a piece of tape onto a box.'Here, you can take this box. You might need Gabbi's help." Ryan said. Both of the girls shrugged and picked up seperate sides of the box.They dropped their jaws in distress."GOSH! What's in this, Ryan?" Sharpay said while she gasped for a breath. "Um, the other quarter of my wardrobe?' he laughed. The girls rolled their eyes and headed down the stairs. They flipped the box into the back of the trailer that was connected to Ryan's Jeep. Taylor and Ryan carried down the rest of the boxes and put them in the trailer. He closed and hatched the door to the trailer. All four tumbled inside to say good-bye to Ms. Evans. The hug and cryed, and took one last look at the Evan's home.

They walked outside,and into the middle of the street. They all gather in a group hug as the cryed and laughed at the same time. "Well, this is the start of the rest of our lives." Taylor beckoned. They all laughed. Then they all piled into the car,and headed for L.A.

Ryan and Gabriella sat in the front of Ryan's jeep, while Taylor and Sharpay sat in the back. They stopped at many places and took pictures along the way. They laughed the whole ride there! Sharpay couldn't help but notice she forgot something. Something was missing inside of her, and she didn't know what. "So, who do you guys will win the basketball game tonight? Knicks or Lakers?" Ryan said with a goofy tone. Basketball.Troy. That's what popped into Sharpay's mind first. She didn't know if she would even see him again. She didn't even know which scholarship he had picked. All she knew was that there was a 99.9 chance she'll never see him again.Maybe that has the hollow spot in her.Yep.For sure.

They finally reached L.A.. It was exactly how the had pictured it. Shops, Starbucks, and Stars. They arrivied at an Apartment complex in the middle of the city."Well guys, this is it! This is the complex my mom bought our apartment in. And the good thing is, she bought it furnished." Gabriella giggled."Why don't we go check it out while Ryan parks the car?" The girls agreed and jumped out of the car they ran up and down the stairs until they found their place. Gabriella put the key into the lock. She looked at the girls, motioning them to put their hand on the key. They all three turned the key and opened the door. Their eyes open, jaws dropped, and smiling expressions led them to one thing...RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE! Sharpay ran over to the kitchen. It was huge! She the rustled around to the family room as she shouted "LOOK AT THIS FLAT SCREEN! ITS HUGE!" As the other girls shouted "OMG! I WANT THIS BEDROOM!" and Ashley then spotted a set a spiral stairs. She called to the girls and raced up them. There, sat a bed, vanity, walk-in closet, personal bathroom,and bonus room."I WANT THIS BEDROOM!" she laughed as she immitated the other girls.

After they had came a custom to their new home, they went down to the garage and unpacked everything."Well, I should probably go see what Dad's old place is like. So I'll chat with you guys later! Love you, sis. See ya later, Tay and Gabbi!" Ryan said as he walked out the door. All three girls hopped on the couch. They crossed their legs over eachothers and let out great sighs. They all gave eachother big hugs, and continued on with unpacking.

Sharpay sat in Gabbi's room as she looked through Gabriella's closet. Sharpay's phone rang. "Could you get that?" Sharpay asked Gabriella. Gabbi shrugged and answered.

"Hello?'

"Hey Gabs, it's Ryan. Can I talk to Sharpay?" Ryan answered.

"She's kinda busy...What do you need?"

"Guess who I saw at this Sports bar?"Ryan said excitedly.

"Who?"

"TROY,CHAD,ZEKE,AND JASON!"

"NO WAY!"Gabbi said shocked."Okay, I'll tell her!"

Gabbi hung up and screamed."SHARPAY! TWO THINGS! 1st, since when does your brother go to a sports bar, and second, TROY IS GOING TO SCHOOL AT UCLA!" Sharpay dropped all of Gabbi's clothes she was holding and ran over and jumped on the bed. "YES! He saw them at a sports bar while the watched the game, and all 4 of them got accepted to UCLA! They live right down the hall from Ryan's apartment! So right down the street!"Gabriella shouted. Taylor came running in."WE HAVE TO HANG OUT WITH THEM!"she screamed."OMG! I GET TO SEE TROY!" Sharpay squealed."AND THE BEST PART IS, WE WILL GET TO SEE THEM TOMORROW AT OUR SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY FUNDRAISER BECAUSE ALL OF THE BASKETBALL STARS HAVE TO RAISE MONEY TO PLAY COLLEGE BALL!" Gabriella said with out a breathe. It was heaven. Fashion.Sweet Apartments.Troy.LA. was the city were dreams do come true.
