Cody's roommate was a tall senior, with messy light brown hair and ice blue eyes. Troy Bolton.
Kayla's roommate was an average sized senior, with long, brown, curly hair and light brown eyes. Gabriella Montez.
Meanwhile at Cody's…
"Hey there, I'm Cody. And I'm just a freshman here." Cody said.
"Troy, nice to meet you." He reached a hand out and Cody complied.
At Kayla's…
"Hi, Kayla." She reached a hand out as well.
"Gabriella." She did the same.
"So, how long have you been here?" Gabriella asked.
"About a week or so, I'm still new here, and I'm still a freshman."
"Oh, okay, I'm a senior."
They went on and on with their conversations, talking about school basically. As well as their affiliations, their interests, etc. They were sort of alike.
While Troy and Cody, weren't alike, but still got along.
The school wasn't all complicated, but large. The whole school was actually separated into 4 sections, all specifically wings. Cody was at the Southern Wing, and Kayla at the Northern Wing.
Back at Cody's…
"Wait Cody, I remembered something, I gotta call someone."
"Okay. It's pretty quiet here anyways."
"Thanks." Troy whipped out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Hello? Troy?" The answer came from the other line.
"Hey, Gabriella. I'm already at my new dorm. How about you?"
"I'm fine, I made it with all of my stuff outside. You have any roommates?" Gabriella answered.
"Yeah, I got one, his name's Cody."
From the other line, Troy could hear that someone else was there.
"Gabriella, what's happening over there?"
"Okay, it's my roommate, her name's Kayla."
It suddenly hit Cody, could it be, that she's, right here, in the same college?
"Wait, Troy, could I borrow your phone for a sec?"
"Okay." Troy told Cody. "Gabriella, I'm putting Cody on the line."
"And I'm putting Kayla on the line."
"Hello?" Cody asked.
"Cody? Is that you?"
"Yeah, I miss you, where've you been?"
"I can't quite remember, I couldn't get you off my head, and things were always, different."
Troy and Gabriella smiled at the same time. They figured that those two had something going on. So they let them catch up until…
"Hey Cody! You can't use my phone forever you know!" Troy shouted sarcastically as he threw a pillow at Cody, catching him off guard, and knocking him down.
"Ow, that hurt Troy!" Cody yelled back rubbing his butt that hit smack-dab on the floor. He was scrawny, that's why.
"Oh, hey, this is Troy. Could you put Gabriella on the line?"
"Okay."
"Gabriella, someone wants to speak to you."
"About time!" She joked.

"Yeah, yeah Gabriella, I'll meet you there. Should we bring the other two along?" Troy asked jokingly.
"Yeah Troy, they deserve it." Gabriella answered.
"Troy, what was that all about?" Cody asked suspiciously.
"Oh, yeah, I'm meeting Gabriella tomorrow night."
"Okay," Cody rolled his eyes.
"Oh and Troy,"
"Yeah Gabriella?"
"Tell Cody that Kayla's coming along."
"Okay, I'll tell him." Troy said with a sly grin on his face.
"What was that?" Cody suddenly looked at Troy.
"She said Kayla's coming with us. You wanna go too?"
"Would I!" Cody had a huge smile on his face.
Cody's POV:
"Can't believe it, I finally get to see her again. Wait, what'll she think of me? What'll I say, what'll I have to tell her? What happened in 2 years? Where's she been? How does she think of me now? Does she still remember everything we had?"
Flashback…
"Two bodies, simply lying on the ground, both fast asleep. But entwined in dreams, always to be together, forever. Wishes granted, fantasies into reality, but all fantasy, what may never happen in reality, a tougher world than whatever may be."
"Facing challenges all together, whatever may separate them, they still find themselves in the midst of troubles. Whatever may happen, they are together, hoping it would be for an eternity."
"Sinister villain, their strength cannot be overcame, lurking in the shadows, hoping that they are apart, but no problems grow them apart. All failing, other than the pair."
"Fair maiden, affected, close to all, what was once all together one, now separated, three, one pair, a villain seeking revenge, and a maiden, troubled by all wrong doings of the villain, he was her lover, but she declined, and the villain has a brother, a twin, what he is trying to destroy."
"Wishes, found in dreams, star-crossed lovers, not knowing each other, but in one moment, feeling close to each other, but not in reality, mere dreams showing this, that their love is immortal, but may not be."
"But the villain had a heart, guilt, and a conscience, which overcame him and changed him, with the help of the love of his life, his fair maiden."

(End of POV)
"Hey, Troy,"
"Yeah Cody, what's up?"
"Are you and, Gabriella, uh,"
"What? Together? No…" Troy said casually, although in his thoughts he wanted to kick himself for saying that.
"Oh… You two seemed pretty, close."
"We're good friends… Since High School…"
"Oh… Okay Troy. I'm good."
"So, Cody, was there anything with you and, what was her name?"
"Kayla? Not really…"
"It sure seemed like it."
"No, Troy, but nothing did go on…" Cody said defensively, as he headed outside.
"What? Cody, I'm sorry if I said anything wrong..."
"Yeah right…" Cody muttered under his breath. He dashed off to the same old tree.
"Cody! Cody!" Troy yelled, as he sped up chasing Cody.
"Wow, he's fast." Troy thought to himself.
Cody finally reached the tree, and climbed up. A song played in his head over and over… from singing 'Free Loop' it turned into something else…
A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it's all said and done
it get hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Cody's thoughts came louder and louder, until he yelled out the words. Troy finally made it and heard him. Cody shut his eyes and kept singing.
"So, she's that important." Troy said matter-of-factly. Cody kept ignoring him.
"Okay, you don't want to talk to me, well, I gotta tell you something, if you feel about her like that, we're not that different."
Cody suddenly turned his head to Troy, stopping singing.
"Okay,"
"I know, I lied a while ago, I mean, it's not that simple opening up to people, but, Gabriella taught me a few things, like just like Kindergarten, you can make friends with someone so easily 'cause you don't have to hide anything, you can be everything you wanna be."
Cody got down quickly and came up to Troy.
"Okay Troy, but, race you back, loser buys pizza."
"What?" Troy asked but Cody dashed off, and Troy stood still for a while, but came to his senses and ran.
"Better get ready 'cause you're gonna lose Cody!"

"Kayla,"
"Yes?"
"Um, nothing, never mind. What do you think I should wear for tomorrow?"
"I'd go for something casual, but, if it's special, I'd go with something else, if he's that special to you?"
"He's special, yeah, but we're best friends."
"Okay…"
"Why? What about you and Cody?"
"Well, maybe…"
"Hey, tell me…"
"Not yet… Okay, I'll explain it tomorrow."
A/N: Okay, I just downloaded 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down a few hours ago, and I've been listening to it. Okay, just to tell you, the next chapter will cover the double-date, and what chaos may ensue, they might be meeting some familiar faces there… and a Cromi is a wand, level 43 wand for magicians in MapleStory. It's the most powerful wand there is.
