Troy grabbed the newspaper on the center table on the living room and reads the headlines.
Basketball superstar and hottie Troy Bolton calls off the wedding
He continued to read the article behind the news title.
As recently reported, the basketball superstar, Troy Bolton has called his wedding off. Sources say that he broke up with his girlfriend, Angela Dickinson for an unknown reason. A report says that, Troy and Angela are at the airport when Angela started hitting Troy. And there some says that Troy said something had just walked away and vanished all of the sudden. Troy continued to read until the last part. As far as we know, that's what our sources had been told us. If we have more news about this issue, we'll keep you updated.
He could not believe what was the article contains. For a reason, he knows he can't hide it to Gabriella even if it hurts that much and he have to take the risk of loosing her… again. Gabriella walked into the living room with a plate of bacon and egg on her hands and saw a shocked Troy who's holding a newspaper.
"Troy? Are you okay?" Gabriella ask putting the plate on the center table
"Huh? Y-yeah, I'm fine" Troy replied hiding the newspaper
"What's that?"
"Oh. Umm… Nothing" he tried to hide it but apparently she gets it out of his hand
"Look. I can explain about that" Troy said standing up and holding her hands
"Troy, you don't have to explain anything. I already read it and for to tell you the truth, I'm not mad at you" she said to him with a small smile on her face
"W-what?! I mean. You're not mad at me because of this article?" Troy replied a little shock the she is not mad. His Gabriella is not mad at him
"Of course I'm not mad. Why would I be mad at you?"
"I don't know. I have this feeling that you will be mad at me because of the article on the newspaper"
"Bolton, I can't be mad at you for some stupid article on the newspaper. Besides, they are all rumours that are made up of some people who don't care to the life of other celebrities or famous people like you. Don't pay attention to it that much" Gabriella said putting both of her hands on his shoulder
"Okay, Montez, you're right. I should stop paying attention to this stuff that has nothing good to say" Troy replied with a smile he only shows Gabriella
"Good to hear. I know you're hungry, so I brought your breakfast. After you're done eating, put it on the sink and I'll wash it with the other dishes. I'll just take a bath and we can hang out"
"Okay"
Gabriella walks upstairs and to her bedroom. She turned on her CD player and the song "I Knew I Loved You" started to play. The music echoes through the house. It is not that loud enough to hear by the neighbors. In a small house, like Gabriella's, you can hear everything – not the bad stuffs.
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
She can't stop from smiling ear to ear. She knows that the song fits perfectly for her and Troy. She made her way through the bathroom and starts to sing the song. She can clearly hear it even if she's in the bathroom.
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Downstairs. Troy can hear the music that is playing on Gabriella's room. Like her, he couldn't stop smiling either. It's like the line of the song has its own meaning that represents the feeling of the two persons in love.
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
After eating the breakfast, Troy sings the last couple of lines to the song, making his way to the kitchen.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
The song ended and Gabriella turned off the CD player and slipped on a white tank top and skinny jeans. She made her way downstairs and saw Troy sitting on the couch flipping through the channels on the T.V.
"Hey" Gabriella called out
"Hey…" he replied without even looking at her
Gabriella walk over to the couch and sits next to him. "So, what's the agenda for today?" she asked.
"We could go to the mall, watch the sunset at the beach and the rest is up to you" he said still looking at the T.V.
"Well, I'm up for your little agenda"
"Let's go then!" Troy exclaimed. Turning off the T.V. and looking at Gabriella, he said "Whoa! We're not going out until you get a jacket"
"Why? Something about my dress?" she ask confused
"Pretty much"
"But why? I like my dress today"
"Why? I don't want guys looking over you. And I don't want you to show off your sexy body like that" Troy said with a little fatherly tone on his voice
"Okay, dad" she replied, stressing the last word and running up the stairs to get her jacket.

At the mall…
The two are walking around the mall. Gabriella decided to buy a new game for her PSP and Xbox 360 – she loves to play boys' games – so did Troy. They are now deciding where to eat. It's past 2 in the afternoon and they hadn't even eaten any when they arrived there. Troy sees a flower shop and run to the shop.
After a few minutes, he came back with 3 roses in different colors. Gabriella looks at him, battling her eyebrows and giving him a confused look.
"For you, milady" Troy handed the roses to her
"Why thank you. And may I ask why these roses are not red and individually colored as white, pink and yellow?" she replied smelling the roses.
"You know, red roses are only for couples and it has a meaning like those three roses you are holding"
"And what does these three roses means?" Gabriella asked raising her right eyebrow.
Troy clears his throat and started, "White means innocence and purity. It also symbolizes honor and reverence. Yellow, I don't know what it means but it evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. And it symbolizes joy and friendship. And last but not the least, the pink rose. Pink means grace and elegance; it is often given as an expression of admiration" he explained. Gabriella just listens to him with an open jaw. She doesn't know where the sudden outburst of his intelligence came from.
She's still staring at him open-mouthed. Troy stiffed a laugh at her facial expression and clears his throat again from keeping him to stop laughing and get Gabriella's attention.
"H-how did you know anything about that?" Gabriella asked, amazed and stuttering at the first word.
"Let's say I have my sources and let me say, you're not the only one that is wise enough when it come to these things" Troy replied giving her an unbelievable look.
Gabriella smacks him hard on his left arm. "Your ego is drowning me away" she joked with a smirk.
"But I know you love my egotistical way" Troy said moving his eyebrows up and down.
"Oh please!"
"Don't deny it, Montez. What if I treat you? So that you don't get mad at me again because of my ego" Troy offered.
"Sounds good. I'm up for a Häagen-Dazs ice cream"
Before any word escaped Troy's mouth, Gabriella had dragged him into the ice cream parlor. He can't protest to her when it comes to treating her with her favourites.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Montez's residence…
Both Gabriella and Troy arrived at the house. They watched a movie due to Gabriella's demand. They have a movie marathon, because that is what Gabriella usually does if it is Friday night. Half-way the movie, Gabriella asked Troy a question.
"Why did you come back?" Gabriella asked all of a sudden which caught Troy off guard. He didn't know what to say or do. He just stayed quiet until she asked him again. "Why did you come back all of a sudden?" she asked again looking at his blue eyes.
