"AND THE TROJANS WIN!" the announcer cried.

The crowd went wild. The whole crowd started spilling onto the basketball court around their star player.

The one and only Troy Bolton. The All Star at USC. They had just won the NCAA championship.

"We did it! We did it!" Troy said along with his teammates.

This feeling came every time he won a game. He would never forget though in his junior year at High School when he won the championships. That was the best game of my life. Troy thought to himself.

In the midst of the crowd around him, he managed to look up into the stands. Empty. Except for someone looking down. Someone with long dark brown hair.

"Gabriella?" Troy whispered.

He blinked. And then the figure was gone. He started running through the crowd trying to get to the exit. But once he made it outside all he could see was a big, silent parking lot.

"I swear it was her Brian." Troy said to his roommate and friend Brian. He was trying to describe what he say and what he felt. But it wasn't going so well.

"Are you sure dude, I mean there are a lot of dark haired women out there." Brian said with a questioning look on his face.

"It had to be her. I would know her anywhere." Or and least he thought he did. He hadn't seen Gabriella since High School Graduation.

"Ok man, whatever. I'm not going to fight you on this." Brian turned back to his homework he was trying to finish.

Troy did the same but after 5 minutes of trying to concentrate he couldn't stand it any longer.

"I'm going to go for a walk. I'll see ya later." He grabbed his jacket and headed out the door. Whenever he went on one of his walks his feet always seemed to lead him to the park a couple blocks down. He had his own special secluded place he liked to call his "thinking spot". He found his favorite tree and sat next to it. He started thinking about her. Why didn't I keep in touch with her? He scolded himself. Somehow his mind drifted to his High School Graduation day. That was the last time he had seen her.

------Flashback-----

"Congratulations Wildcat!" a sweet voice said from behind me.

I turned around to face Gabriella. She was in her red and white graduation gown. Like mine of course.

"You too!" I said with a smile, then the next thing I know, she was in my arms giving me a great big hug.

I put my arms around her. She felt so good against me. Suddenly I heard a sniff and a sob. I pulled back to see Gabriella in tears.

"Gabi, what's the matter?" I said with concern in my voice.

"Troy I need to talk to you." She took my hand and led me to a quiet spot in the shade.

"Troy, last night my mom got a call from her company. We're……they told her…"

She started crying again. I took her in my arms.

"Shh, shh, it's ok, you can tell me." I told her soothingly. Once she had gained control over herself again she started again.

"Her company had transferred her to Washington."

"What, you mean your moving?" I questioned.

"Yes. We leave tomorrow." She fell against me sobbing.

"I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you." She wailed in my arms, shaking.

"Gabi, Gabi, it's ok, everything is going to be ok."

I held her tight while not really noticing my own tears silently falling.

"You won't ever forget me? Will you?" she asked softly.

"How could I ever forget you. The freaky math girl. No way." I quietly laughed.

I heard her giggle. Oh how I'm going to miss that laugh of hers. I thought to myself.

And then something came over me. I don't know what it was but I found myself lifted her face to me. Then I gently placed my lips on top of hers. It was only a sweet and gentle kiss. Loving and sincere to the very end. She pulled back slightly.

"Troy," she whispered " I have to go home. My mom needs me to help pack."

"No, don't go. Just a few more minutes." But I knew there was no reason to try and argue.

We clung to each other for as along as we could. Then she stepped back.

"Goodbye Troy. Remember to write. Call me." Then she was gone.

----End Flashback----

I could feel my tears started to fall down my face. That memory seemed like a century away.

I wonder if I would ever see her again. Sigh.

I stood up, knowing it was no good to just sit there and mope. I started walking out of the park, with my head down the whole way. Not watching where I was going. I accidentally bummed into someone.

"Oh sorry." I said without looking.

"That's fine." Said a familiar sweet voice.

I stopped in my tracks.

I turned.

"Gabriella?"
