Chapter 2 The Letter

Gabriella was sitting in her apartment room. She was in New York. She was staring at an invitation she had gotten in the mail. It was for her high school reunion. Gabriella knew exactly what this meant. She would have to see former Wild Cats star and new Lakers star, Troy Bolton. Gabriella looked to the bracelet on her wrist.

"Maybe I should take it off…" She thought to herself.

Then her roommate and new best friend Kelly walked in.

"Ooh, what have we got here?" She asked as she sat down next to Gabriella on the bed. She grabbed the invitation out of her hands. "A high school reunion! Can I come?" She asked impatiently.

"I guess." Gabriella said.

"Yay! Okay, lets go shop." Kelly exclaimed grabbing her arm and pulling Gabriella out of the apartment.

Troy's house

Troy was reading over the letter in his hands. Molly, his girlfriend walked up behind him.

"Hey babe, I'm going to be out of town next weekend." He said looking over the invitation once more.

"Why?" She asked walking over to him.

"High school reunion," He said handing her the letter. Troy had forgotten about Gabriella. He hadn't seen her since his first Christmas back from college.

Flashback

Gabriella had just arrived home from college. She saw Troy sitting on her doorstep, waiting for her. She ran up to give him a hug.

"I've missed you so much." She said while he spun her around.

"I've missed you too."

Christmas Eve Party…

Gabriella was sitting in Troy's arms while all their other friends danced and partied.

"Want to go for a walk." Gabriella whispered to Troy. He nodded and they both got up. They held hands as they walked in silence.

"Gabriella?" Troy said breaking the silence.

"Yes?" She looked to him and smiled.

"Why did you break up with me before I left?" He asked.

"Do we have to bring this up?" Gabriella's smile dropped. "We are having a good time now right? So, do we have to ruin the moment?"

"Yeah we do. I really want to know why you broke up with me before I left."

"I don't think I could've held a long distance relationship." She looked to the ground, and stopped holding his hand."

"Why did you break up with me right before I left. Why didn't you break up with me during the graduation ceremony, or a week before I left?" He asked. A tear then fell down her cheek.

"Maybe I wanted to have a good time with you before you left!" She said raising her voice a little.

"It would have been easier if you did it earlier." Troy yelled back.

"How would it have been easier? Breaking up with you was hard enough! Having to spend a whole week without you would have been harder." She yelled and ran away. Troy stopped walking and he watched her.

End flashback

"Can I come?" Molly asked him.

"Sure." He smiled at her.
