Hey Guys!

Well, I think this story is finally started taking off! I am so happy about that!

This Chapter may be kinda confusing, because it is in Troy's and Gabi's POV. But pretty much, whenever I switch back from one person or another, it usually takes place either:

A) At the same time

B) The next POV will start when the next one left off

I am so sorry if it is confusing. If you have any comments/ideas, PM me! I love to hear from y'all!

Okay, Enjoy!

Chapter 4: We Meet Again

(Troy's POV)

"Alex! Let's go!" I yelled up the stairs to my five year old son. He ran downstairs wearing a blue tee shirt and jeans.

"Sorry dad, I was playing video games," he said.

I rolled my eyes and watched as he put on his flip flops and headed toward the door as I got the keys to my convertible and grabbed my jacket and followed him out.

"Come on Daddy!" he yelled from outside.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," I called. I ran outside to my car.

I picked him up, put him in his booster seat and buckled him in. I got in my seat and turned on the car.

"Daddy, I wanna listen to Blue's Clues!" he said.

I looked at him through the rearview mirror, "What do you say?" I asked him.

He looked around, and then a light bulb seemed to go off in his head, "Please!"

I gave him a thumbs up and put in the CD, and pressed play.

I pulled out of the driveway, and drove onto the highway. I couldn't believe that they were making Alex go to a school so far away. The only good thing about it was that Chad and Taylor worked there.

About fifteen minutes later, we pulled up to the school, and saw that almost every parking spot was filled. I sighed.

I pulled into a spot and got out, got Alex out, and we walked into the lobby of the school, ready to meet his teacher.

(Gabriella's POV ((at the same time)) )

I drove to Taylor's house, and beeped three times.

Taylor, Nessa, Chad and James walked out. Taylor was wearing an aquamarine dress with floral print on it, black heeled shoes, and Chad was wearing a blue button up shirt and black jeans. He also teaches gym, as well as coaching the basketball team. Vanessa was wearing a dark purple tee shirt with a V on it with a black skirt that reached her knees, and black sandals, and James, not looking very happy, was wearing a pair of nice black pants, and a green button up shirt with black sneakers.

Taylor got in and sat next to me, "You ready to meet your kids for the next nine months?" she asked.

"All except one," I muttered.

Taylor rubbed my arm, "Hey, don't worry. You'll probably never see Troy, except for Open House and Parents Night," she soothed.

I started banging my head on the steering wheel as I heard Nessa and James get in.

"Mommy, why do I have to wear this?" James asked looking at his clothes disgustingly.

"James, don't you want to look nice for Ms. McDonald?" she asked.

James shook his head stubbornly.

Chad got in and sat next to James, "Five bucks?" he asked.

James happily took it and started straightening his shirt.

Taylor rolled his eyes, "I told you, don't bribe our kids!" she exclaimed.

"Taylor, what harm did it do? He's happy, and you're happy," he reasoned.

Taylor rolled her eyes, and Chad smiled, knowing this was one of the few arguments he was going to win.

"Thank you for my new clothes Mommy!" Nessa exclaimed.

I smiled.

"You're welcome, honey," Taylor said looking at Nessa through the rearview mirror

I started the car and drove the short drive to East Elementary. We got there in less than five minutes, and everyone got out.

"Okay, I'll take Nessa to her class and you can take James to his," Taylor said to Chad.

"Okay, then I'll take him to the gym," he said.

Taylor nodded, "Okay, bye guys!" she said.

Chad and James walked off toward the first grade wing, while Nessa, Taylor and I walked into the school and toward the Kindergarten hall.

"I can't believe all the press!" Taylor exclaimed.

"That's what you get when you have a superstar's son going to this school," I said.

Taylor smiled, "Maybe he won't even recognize you!" she said optimistically.

I gave her a look. The only thing that had changed about me was that my hair had gotten longer.

"Okay…so he probably will, but come on, it'll just be a strict parent-teacher relationship," she said.

I nodded. She was right, I wouldn't let it get anything more than that.

We walked into our classrooms, Nessa following me.

"Find your seat Nes. The other kids should be here soon," I said putting my bag down. I grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote my name and few other things on the board. I got the supply list out of my bag and got ready to meet the kids and their parents. I just hope I was ready to face Troy again.

(Troy's POV)

I walked into the lobby and found the kindergarten list and looked for Alex's name. I quickly found it and read the teacher's name.

"Your teacher's name is Miss Montez," I said to him. Montez…that name sounded familiar…where have I heard that name? Oh well, I must've met someone named Montez at a game or something.

"You think she is nice?" Alex asked worriedly.

I bent down so that I was at his eye level, "I am sure she is one of the nicest teachers you will ever have," I said.

Alex smiled hugely and started walking down the hallway.

"Alex! Wait!" I yelled. I ran after him down the hall.

(Gabriella's POV)

About five minutes after I got ready, students and parents started coming in.

"Hello Miss Montez," a young girl said smiling hugely.

I bent down so that I was at her level, "Hi! What is your name?" I asked her.

She smiled, "My name is Emma," she said.

"Nice to meet you Emma! We are going to have a lot of fun here! Why don't you go find your seat," I said.

She smiled and walked over to her seat, which was right next to Nessa.

A woman came over and smiled warmly, "Hi, I'm Rachel, Emma's mom," she said.

"Hi, I'm Gabriella Montez," I said standing up.

"Nice to meet you," she said.

"Do you have any papers I need?" she asked.

I walked over to my desk and grabbed a supply list, "There you go!" I said smiling.

"Thank you!" she said. She walked over and sat next to Emma in the seats I had put out for parents.

About fifteen more parents came in and five minutes, and I started getting my hopes up, thinking that Troy wasn't going to come.

"Hi, I can I have a supply list?" A mother asked.

I nodded and turned around to get one, not aware that the guy that I had let out of my life nine years ago had come in the minute I turned around.

(Troy's POV)

I was finally able to catch up to Alex right as he was about to walk into Miss Montez's room.

"Daddy, I'm scared," he said.

"Don't worry, all the kids are gonna be nice, and the teacher's job is to be nice," I told him sincerely.

That seemed to make him feel better, as he perked up and let me lead him into the room.

I saw about fifteen kids and parents in the room, and I saw the woman that must be the teacher leaning over, getting a piece of paper.

"Daddy! Come on!" Alex said pulling at my shirt.

I smiled at him, and I found his seat.

"Oh, this must be my seat!" I said excitedly, sitting in Alex's seat.

Alex started laughing, "Daddy, this is my seat!" he said.

"It is?!" I asked pretending to be surprised.

Alex nodded, "You sit here," he said pointing to a seat that said 'Alex's Mom/Dad'.

"Oh! I thought you were my dad!" I said.

Alex laughed, "You're silly Daddy!" he said.

I stood up, and just happened to look at Miss Montez, right when she turned around.

I gasped. Now I knew who she was. She was the woman that walked out of my life nine years ago, because I was a jerk.

It was Gabriella Montez. My High School sweet-heart.

I know it was probably confusing, but I hope y'all understand that this is my first first person story, so I'm kinda rough. I usually do 3rd person!

Please R&R! No flames!
