Okay most of you agreed that Troy should not have done that to Gabriella, and I agree but it had to be done And Gabriella plays volleyball in this chapter.

Disclaimer: Again I DO NOT own anything but the plot of this story! Just making sure.


As he walked out the door he turned around and looked back at her. She was sitting on the counter crying. Alexis came out and saw her sister crying, Troy knew that he should leave before she saw him watching.

Two days later Josh was heading out of the house and saw Troy and Kelly doing nothing. He and Gabriella had worked out any problems and decided to just be friends.

Troy and Kelly had been in town square the other day and they walked by the Gap. Troy looked in and saw Gabriella talking to Josh, laughing at something he said. Apparently they were getting along just fine now.

"Hey you guys want to come to the gym with me?" Josh asked. He knew the whole situation but he still didn't like Kelly. No one else did either.

"Sure, I haven't been in forever, have to work off all that Jamba juice." Troy said. Kelly nodded just wanting to see Troy work out. She never really worked out at the gym only sat and watched Troy.

"Cool, some of my friends are coming too, we rent out a gym, most of the girls play volleyball while we run around, and sometimes we join them or play basketball." Josh said.

"We'll go and get changed, be back in five minutes," Troy said running up the stairs. Kelly followed him up like a lost puppy. They all drove down together, Josh led them down to their usual gym and heard lour music from outside the doors and yelling.

"Yeah, they're here alright," Josh said laughing. He opened the doors and walked in. There were about 9 people in the gym right now with them it made twelve.

"MINE! OUTSIDE!" They heard. All of their heads went in the direction of the volleyball court. Gabriella was setting it up towards Kelsi. Kelsi hit it straight down. Troy's mouth dropped as did Kelly's.

"I brought some extras," Josh yelled. They didn't look at him just kept on playing.

"Good we are a couple short of having two teams. Jump in on the other side in a minute," Gabriella said hitting towards one of the other guys. Troy thought she looked great in the spandex and t shirt. He couldn't take his eyes off her on the court and Kelly noticed. As the play ended they all turned around.

"Who's ipod," Josh asked. They hadn't noticed Kelly and Troy yet.

"Who's do you think," Sharpay asked him.

"Gabriella, of course," Zeke said. She took a little bow.

"Of course. I am such a music freak I have all the best and latest music. I had to delete some of my songs because I didn't have enough room." Gabriella said. They all laughed suddenly they all stopped noticing Troy and Kelly.

"You brought them," Taylor asked. Troy and Kelly now felt out numbered. Josh nodded.

"Bad choice," Sharpay said glaring at them.

"Come on guys, we needed a couple of players now all that matters is if they think they can beat us girls?" The teams were split up boys and girls, it never changed.

"Are you serious Gabriella?" Taylor asked. She nodded her head.

"I forgot, Jesse sent me his new CD, it is amazing," Gabriella said going over to her ipod.

"But it isn't out yet," Sharpay said. "Are you saying that he sent you a copy before they were released?" She nodded excitedly.

"Who's Jesse," Kelly asked. They all laughed a little.

"Jesse as in Jesse McCartney. Who else? We're really good friends" Gabriella said ignoring their mouths which had dropped, Troy and Kelly's.

"You got Jesse's new CD, even I couldn't get that," Kelly whined. "I can't believe that you even know him." Kelly huffed. Troy stared at Gabriella, he never knew about this part of her life. Even after all that they had talked about this had never some up.

"Yeah well, I went to a concert with Allie. I know a lot of people that you guys probably know. Gwen Stefani, Akon because of Gwen, Aly and AJ, Miley Cyrus, Alexz Johnson, Shania Twain. The list goes on and on. I went to most of them with Allie though," Gabriella said.

"How did you meet all of them?" Troy asked. She didn't look at him, she couldn't.

"Backstage passes. Allie would only go to the concert if Gabriella came with and we usually only got two tickets but its all good. Do you remember when she dragged you to that High School Musical concert? When was that?" Josh asked bringing up things Gabriella didn't really like to talk about.

"You came to one of our concerts?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah it was a while before Valentines day. February 2nd,"Gabriella said hoping he wouldn't remember her. "Allie was so excited to be going, plus we had front row seats so that made her even happier." They all laughed.

"I remember meeting you now!" Kelly said. "That was the concert where Troy came and visited." Troy remembered now too. He was hitting himself for not remembering her. She looked almost exactly the same.

"Yeah that was the one." Everyone stared at her, Gabriella remembered that day perfectly.

Flashback:

Gabriella and Allie walked towards their seats with their waters and food that they had bought. They ate their food waiting for the High School Cast to come out on the stage. The opening act came on and then they did.

Allie was screaming as loud as she could holding up the poster they made as high as she could also standing on a chair. "Allie, calm down, you'll get to meet them after the concert," Gabriella said trying to make sure Allie didn't fall backwards.

The whole concert went by with Allie screaming as loud as she could. By the time it was over she was almost asleep but wouldn't give in because she had to see the cast. Gabriella carried her backstage showing the guard the passes on her way in. They were waiting in a little room under the stage, including Troy Bolton.

"Hi I'm Gabriella, this is Allie," She said putting her down and shaking her a little. "You may want to plug your ears for this," Gabriella added before shaking Allie again.

"Gabriella? Where am I?" She asked sleepily. When Gabriella had picked her up she had given in to the sleep.

"You're under the stage with the cast of high school musical, you want to meet them?" Gabriella asked. While all of this was happening Troy was watching her as she took care of the little girl. Allie screamed and jumped up looking around.

"Allie, I'm guessing you know who these people are," Gabriella said laughing at this. They all talked and got to know each other more and more, it was more Allie than Gabriella though.

"Is she your sister?" Ashley asked.

"No, she's my brother's friend. But I want her to be my sister. My mommy says that one day she will be part of the family. My brother always talks about her and says that he wants to go out with her." Allie said. Gabriella blushed a little at her comment, while everyone laughed.

"I'll be right back," Gabriella said walking out of the room and into the bathroom. A few minutes later Troy came out too, as Gabriella was walking out of the restroom.

"Hey," he said. They stood next to each other.

"Hi." An awkward silence fell upon them. Then they both started to speak. "You go," she said.

"You seem to really love Allie in there. Even though she isn't your sister and all. You're really good with her," Troy said making Gabriella blush again.

"Yeah, well, I've known her forever. It's like I've got two families," Gabriella said. "I love her family like my own," she added. Troy was looking at her.

'Man, she is so nice. I wish I could just kiss her,' Troy thought "What," he asked when he realized that she was done talking.

"I was just saying that you're lucky to have friends like that," Gabriella said. Unknowingly they had both stepped a little closer making the distance between them very small.

"I'm sure you have great friends," he whispered leaning closer. She leaned in too making it so as if someone bumped into them they would be pressed against each other. After a long silence Troy leaned in and kissed her. It went on for a while before they pulled apart.


Okay this is a little far fetched and yes I know but I hope you like it!
