Chapter 7

Today has to be one of the most interesting and happiest days of my life. Today is the last day of pratice, we finally get to start the season, but the only down side to that is that I won't be able to see Lena as often as I want to. But she'll be with my mom, so at least she'll be with family. Coach Orlando (I don't know the real lakers coach's name, I'm not that big on basketball, so please bare with me. ) started a speech, I swear half of the guys were already asleep. If I survived through this, then it's a mircale.

"Guys, I just gotta say, I see the same energy, if not more than I've ever seen before.I can tell that you guys really enjoy basketball. You guys have been doing great in pratice's, always giving a hundred and ten percent, and that's more than enough. Now we are going to have a great season." Replied Coach and all of us that were still awake nodded. "Okay guys you can wake up now" He said annoyed.

All of the guys, including Chad and Jason (Yep, there on the lakers to.) shot up, which made me lightly chuckle. He motioned for us to all go to the lockers and we did. Just as I was about to run with them he stopped me. He sat down on the bench and I followed him.

"Troy, it's great for you to be here, the whole team hear's so much about you from Chad and Jason, I just had to see you in person." He began. "Your really good."

"Thanks" I said.

"It's great to have you hear, I have a feeling that we'll do really good this year" He said with a smile.

"It's great to be here." I replied, he told me to go to the lockers and I nodded.

I walked into the locker room to find all the guys, well most of them messing around. I walked to my locker, grabbed my bag that held my clothes and headed for the showers. I turned it to cold, it cooled my down after a work out, and hopped in. About twenty minutes later I emerged fully dressed and grabbed my shoes, put them on and walked out of the gym. I was stopped by Chad.

"Hey, what did coach want?" He asked curiously and I shrugged.

"He just wanted to tell me that you and Jason always talked about how good I was" I Stopped and looked at him.

"What it's true" He defended, while I rolled my eyes.

"And that he was glad that I was one the team." I replied

"Oh, I thought it was going to be something interesting" He said and I wacked him on the arm.

"Ow" He said while rubbing his arm, which made me give a dry laugh. I said goodbye and told him that I would see him later, He said that Lena and I should meet up with the gang soon, since I haven't seen them in forever. (Okay, this is just going to be about, where the gang is at, like who their married to, kids if they have any, and their job, just so I won't be asked these questions later. :).

Sharpay, now being 24 (like everyone) is happily married to Zeke. They have one child. Isabella Anne, who is two. Sharpay is an inspiring actress, and Zeke opened his own resturant in L.A. (They all live in L.A, they moved there for college.)

Jason is happily married to Kelsi, they got married right after High School. They have two kids, Cody Scott and Jermey Lee. Jason's on the L.A lakers, and Kelsi write's plays, song, and short scripts, for anything from brodway, to famous singers.

Ryan is still single, but he insists that he's not ready to settle down yet. He's currently in New York, on Broadway, it's been his dream for forever. We all support him and are happy for him, but it get's hard. Espically on Sharpay, not having him here with us

I picked up Lena and grabbed some grub on the way home. Like I did almost everyday, sometimes my mom fed her. When we got home we ate and she and I took a shower. In diffrent bathrooms. (A/N: Sorry, but my friend that read this actually thought that they did.) When we got out we went out to the living room.

"Daddy will you tell me more of the story?" She asked

"Sure" I repleid and started the story

Story.

Troy Bolton walked into school with his hands shaking furiously, he wanted to ask Gabriella out today, but what if she turned him down? Chad looked at his best friend worried and pulled him away from the people that were crowding him asking all types of questions.

"Dude, your hands are shaking" Chad said pointing out the obvious.

"No really? I didn't notice" Troy replied sarcastically.

"Why are they shaking?" He asked curiously.

"I want to ask Gabriella out, but I'm afraid that she'll reject me." Troy said worried while Chad shook his head and mentally rolled his eyes.

"Dude she's in love with you" Chad replied.

"How do you know that?" He asked.

"Becuase your secret lover happens to be my girlfriends best friend, Gabi tells Taylor everything and then she tells me. Trust me dude I know these things." Chad explained.

"I'm surprised that you know anything" Troy mutterted to himself, and Chad didn't take any notice. Just then Troy saw a certain beautiful brunette walking into the school, and he felt a smile coming across his face. He walked over to her.

"Hey Gabriella can you meet me at the rooftop at lunch?" Troy asked.

"Why?" She asked curiously.

"Because, I need to ask you something really important." He begged and she gave in.

"Okay, lunch time" She said and walked to her locker. Troy walked into homeroom with a smile. Step one, complete.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Gabriella walked up the steps to the 'secret spot'. She was scared to find out what his question was. What if it was bad? But what if it was good. 'Oh just go up the stairs and see what he wants. If it's something bad quickly run out of there as quick as possible so he wont know. I don't see your feet moving.'

Troy was sitting on the bench at the secret spot nervously. He was fidgiting with his hands and they were sweating. What if she said no, and that they can only be friends. Troy didn't know how much longer that he could only be friends with her. It took everything in him to keep him from kissing her everytime he saw her.

"Troy?" Asked Gabriella snapping Troy out of his thoughts.

"Hey, sorry I was just thinking" He said.

"It's okay." Awkward silence. "So what did you need to ask me?" She asked while he took a deep breath.

"Iwanttoknowifyouwantedtogooutwithmebecauseilikeyoualot" He said in one breath.

"What?" She asked.

"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me because I like you a lot" He said and she looked at him shocked. When he didn't hear a reply after a few seconds he spoke up. "I'm sorry, I'll just be leaving no-" He was cut off by a pair of lips on his. After the shock weared off he started to kiss back.

"Of course I'll go out with you" She said while he smiled.

End Of Story.

"Daddy! More!" She screamed and I laughed

"No more for tonight honey. It's time to go to bed" I said sternly.

"Okay, Daddy." She replied and ran into her room. Ten minutes later she walked out with her nightgown on.

"Okay sweetie, it's time to go to bed." I replied and led her to her bedroom.

"Goodnight Daddy. I love you"

"I love you to Honey" I replied and kissed her forhead. I walked out of the room. And shut off the light. I silently closed the door, and made my way to my room. I did what I usually did and went to my room, and laid down on my bed. Within seconds I was fast asleep, I had, had a ruff and long day.

Okay, I know that, that wasn't the best but please R&R! No Flames Please!
