Disclaimer: I own nothing...


Troy walked into the old coffee shop, where he met the gang. They had been meeting there since they all had moved out to L.A. He only saw Sharpay and Zeke there. Smiling he walked over there. Knowing Chad and Taylor would be about ten minutes late, and Ryan, Riley(His wife), Jason and Kelsi would arrive right on time. Sharpay. Zeke and him always arrived early.

"Hey guys" Troy said smiling.

"Hey Troy" The greeted in unision.

"What's up?" He asked the couple who was smiling.

"Nothing really were good. Zeke still hasn't found a decent job" Sharpay replied sadly.

"Aww, I'm sorry guys" He said. "I thought that you were going to open your own returaunt" He added.

"I was, but then I remebered that I'm not that good at math, and I have no one that could." He stated sadly. Troy smiled sadly at his friend. He knew that it was Zeke's dream to have a resturaunt. Then something hit him, and it caused him to smile while the others looked at him weirdly.

"What's that smile for?" Sharpay asked.

"You'll see" He said with a smile.

Just as Zeke was about to answer Kelsi, Jason, Riley and Ryan rushed into the shop. Troy smiled at them, seriously his smiles were starting to annoy the ones around him. They never seen him so happy...it was sickening. If only they knew what he was smiling about. Ten seconds later Taylor and Chad arrived, out of breath.

"Troy please wipe that smile off of your face, it's...getting really sickening, and we don't even know what your smiling about" Chad said.

"Sorry that you don't want your friend to be happy" Troy said dramitacally and Chad sighed.

"I'm sorry" Chad said while Troy grinned triumphently.

"Do you guys ever wonder about what or how Gabriella is doing?" Taylor asked randomly while Troy choked on his drink, as well as some of the others.

"What?" Troy finally choked out.

"Do you ever wonder about her, I mean she left so suddenly." Taylor explained.

"Yeah, I miss her" Sharpay sighed and Zeke quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"Well..." Troy paused, silently fighting if he should tell them about their little run in or not. "I kinda ran into her" He said, while everyone's jaw dropped.

"YOU RAN INTO GABRIELLA AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO ME!?" Taylor and Sharpay screeched.

"I didn't want to tell you because of that." Troy said while cleaning out his ears.

"What'd she look like? Was she happy? Was she still pretty? Was there anything different about her? TROY TELL ME!" Taylor screamed while shaking him.

"Taylor Anne McKessie! Calm the hell down!" Troy yelled, and she stopped.

"I'm sorry Troy.." She apologized. "Now how did she look?" She asked excited, and he sighed. He knew that he would have to tell them.

"Honestly?" He asked and everyone nodded. "Not so good. She looks bad." Troy said as he collapsed on a couch. (The coffee shop has couches...pretend.)

"What do you mean she looked bad?" Asked Zeke concerned. Troy sighed while running a hand though his hair...

"Leigh, baby girl calm down" Gabriella whispered lovingly towards her daughter.

Leigh looked up at her mother with tears running down her small angelic face. Gabriella sighed and picked up the little girl, putting her softly on her shoulder while rubbing the small of her back. After gently rubbing the little girls back for nearly and hour, Leigh had finally calmed down enough for Gabriella to put her back to sleep. Her phone started ringing. She ran into the room and quickly picked it up.

"Hello?" Gabriella asked.

"Gabriella" The voice said madly, and Gabriella gulped, she had totally forgotten that she had a shift today.

"Ye-es?" She asked.

"Why arn't you at work? Your were supposed to be here an hour ago" Her boss exclaimed annoyed.

"I'm sorry"

"Well I'm sorry to, but I'm going to have to fire you." He said, she knew that this was coming.

"Okay," She said and hung up the phone, only to have it ring again.

"Hullo?" Gabriella asked.

"Hey, It's me Troy" The voice said and Gabriella smiled.

"Hi" She breathed.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned, while Gabriella felt her heart fluttering.

"Other than just getting fired, I'm fine, you?" She asked

"Oh Gabi...I'm sorry." He said sympethetically, and She smiled. He called her Gabi, it's been a long time since she heard someone call her that.

"It's okay, my boss was getting on my last nerve" She replied "Only one left" She muttered to herself but Troy had heard her. But he decided against questioning him about it.

"Soo...can I take you out to lunch tomorrow?" He asked.

"Troy I-"

"I mean as friends" He said

"Troy I-"

"But if you don't I under-" He was cut off.

"Troy!" She yelled.

"Uhh...yeah?" He asked cooly.

"I would love to go with you" She said, and she could hear him smiling over the phone.

"Great...um I'll pick you up?" He asked.

"Uhh...I'll meet you at Freddie's at three" She said and he agreed. They talked a little longer before hanging up. She smiled to herself, she had been smiling a lot latley.

It was now three o 'clock in the morning, and she still couldn't sleep. She just couldn't stop thinking about him. She tried to shake the thoughts away but she couldn't. Why couln't she just get him out of her head?
