A/n: Sorry for the wait.

Disclaimer: I hate Alberta winters even though I grew up in them there too cold

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

"No, Ashley" Kathleen 'Kat' whined to one of her friends. " I hate you"

"Love you too" Ashley replied. She flipped open a page filled with hearts with a J written in them.

"Oooo…" Ashley mocked. Gabriella shook her head. Ever since the gang had met Michelle and Carly, they'd met their friends Ashley and Kat who were the giggliest girls you'd ever met. They'd be the entertainment for the gang. Quickly the four girls became part of the gang. " I'm embarrassed to be around you guys" Gabriella rolled her eyes.

Ashley and Kat faked gasped. "How dare you" Ashley gasped dramatically.

"Kidding" Gabriella giggled. She glanced at her watch. "Shit" she cursed.

"What?" Kat queried.

"I'm late for Troy's match." Gabriella grabbed her bag.

"Aww…" The girls chorused.

"Shut Up guys" Gabriella said.

"Aww…"

"I will smack you"

"Aww"

Smack Gabriella took off towards the tennis courts.

"D-d-did she just…" Ashley stammered. Kat nodded.

Gabriella quietly snuck in and took her place behind Troy's bench.

"Hey I thought you weren't coming there for a second." Troy sighed relieved. He placed his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She broke away disappointed. "As much as I would like to continue this, there is an crowd and you have a game to play," He quickly pecked her lips and jumped down from the bleachers. He grinned broadly. "Good luck!" She called.

The game ended with Troy coming out as the winner. The gang minus one had gone to a party that was held in the lounge. Gabriella sat under a blossoming tree, pictures scattered in front of her. An application to a prestigious art school sat partially filled. She picked up her pen and filled in a space on the sheet of paper. She put down the pen and picked up a picture of Troy. She had captured him in motion, the way he gracefully hit the ball was captured in the photo. Tears filled her eyes as she placed the photo beside her.

It was up to her, her mom set up an interview to see if she was properly qualified, and if she was that was it, no more East High, no more tennis, no more gang…no more Troy.

Sorry it was short. Anyone who has the seen the show please do not ruin the story. I have been dealing with the whole grandfather thing, and between that and school and pure procrastination, but in my defense grade 9 is hard. Anyways I am truly sorry for the wait.
