Troy's POV
Troy picked up the box, not sure if he was ready to go through the rest of it yet. He placed the box in the passenger seat and drove home. "Where have you been?" My dad said as soon as I walked through the door with the box in my hands. "It's midnight… on a school night Troy!" "Dad, can we just, not do this tonight?" "What do you mean… am I supposed to just, not punish you because you ask?" he asked sarcastically "Dad, no, I mean, can we not fight about this? I'm going to my room" I walked towards the stairs, "Wait," "What?" "What is it that you have in your hands there?" he asked me. I turned around, "Nothing" "Let me see it" "Dad, please…" he grabbed the box out of my hands and put it on the counter, then opened it. He pulled out the scrapbook, I looked away, I didn't want to see what else was in there yet. "Here son, I'll let you off the hook this time" he said handing me the box, "I don't understand…" I said with an eyebrow raised. "Just go to your room and try and get some sleep"
I went to my room and opened the box. I put the scrapbook on my bed and looked into the box, inside were two other things, a CD and Gabriella's favorite bracelet, she wore it everyday. It was black string with three beads on it, the beads were red and white, like our school colors. It fit on my wrist, I didn't plan on taking it off for a long time. I pulled out the CD, it had no label on it, I popped it in the CD player. The first track was Gabriella. 'Hi Troy, I'm really glad that you got this, I hope that we can see each other again! Call me!' the rest of the CD were us singing the songs from the musical. I listened to the CD until I fell asleep…
Gabriella's POV
Ronni was gone when I woke up. I pulled on a pair of tight jeans a red spaghetti strap shirt and Troy's red and white basket ball jacket The one from the movie when they sang Breaking Free, then I went to the head office. "Hello how may I help you" an old woman asked me at the front desk, "I'd like to request a new roommate, or I mean, I want to leave the roommate I have now" "Oh I see, who is the roommate you have now?" "Veronica Stiles" "Oh yes, we have had several roommate problems with her, here let me find you an open room, you'd be Gabriella Montez then," "Yes" "Lets see…" "Oh here we go, she is a senior though, is a year older okay with you?" "Yes that's fine, when can I move in?" "As soon as you like, here's a key, drop of your old room key when you are done"
I walked quickly back to my room, I wanted to be moved out before Ronni got back. Luckily she wasn't there. I put everything back into my bags, and put all of my pictures and posters in a box. I first brought over my clothes, but grabbed my underwear out of the trashcan first. I decided it would be best to knock on the door since I'm sure she wasn't expecting me. So I knocked, and waited. I knocked one more time, no one. Just as I was about to put the key in the door, it swung open. A very… emo-ish looking girl opened the door, that was the best way I could describe it. Her hair was a red-brunette color, more red than brunette, she was wearing way too much eye make-up, and her face was pale. Her clothing consisted of a black Kill Hannah tank top, and some black 'skinny jeans'. "May I help you?" "I'm your new roommate" "Oh, I get another one of those, I thought they had finally taken me off the list for that considering I've had four roommates in the past two months" "Whatever, can you just let me in" "Oh so this one has a bit of an attitude" "'This Ones' name is Gabriella Montez, and she would like to move in before her old roommate gets back" I said mockingly. "Fine, who'd you get, Lisa Simms, or Veronica Stiles?" "The second one" I said dropping the bags on my bed, which was on the left this time, then walked out of my new room and back to my other one. The senior followed me back, "I'm Hannah by the way" she said walking next to me, "Your shirt seems to suit you then" she looked down and laughed. "It's me and my friends inside joke" she followed me into my room and helped me grab the rest of my stuff.
"Can you carry that box, I think I can handle the rest of this" I said, then Ronni, Rosie and Jess walked in. "Well…seems someone is a little unhappy" Jess said looking me up and down. "What are you wearing, whatever it is, if you were still living here, we'd burn it" she said staring at my, actually Troy's jacket. I ignored her and went to pick up the rest of my stuff. "Wait a minute, does that have someone's name on the back?" Jess said walking over to me, "Bolton, that's sexy" she traced the letters with her fingers, "Don't touch me" I said glaring at her, "So who is he?" "I'm leaving now, bye, come on Hannah" "Ew! You let that scum into my room!" Ronni exclaimed noticing Hannah. Hannah rolled her eyes then glared at her. "Let's go" I said and we left the room.
"So why did you leave, other than them being such bitches" Hannah asked me as I started to unpack my stuff "Where should I begin, well firstly, they threw away all of my underwear. Luckily I grabbed them before leaving. And then Ronni was… well… she…while I was sleeping" "Ugh she is such a perv"
I had done everything except put up my posters and pictures, Hannah complimented me on my bedspread, and on the posters I was hanging up, well except the one that was the Twinkle Towne one, but I was on it and a bunch of my other friends like Kelsi, Ryan and Sharpay. "So this is the Bolton kid then? Troy Bolton?" she asked pointing at the Twinkle town poster, "How'd you know?" "His name is at the bottom" "Oh duh," I laughed and finished with everything. It didn't seem at all gloomy compared to Hannah's side whose walls were completely covered with band posters, and the only bright color on that side of the room was lime green, which were the color of some of the pillows, so basically, it was like a dark cave.
"Dang you've got it bad for him" she said looking at my pictures. "Huh?" "It's so obvious, I mean look at the way you are looking at him in this one" she said pointing at one where it was just me and him. "Does he know?" I sighed, "No"
