Troy and Gabriella walked into Troy's house hand in hand. Jack Bolton and Sandra Bolton were in the kitchen. Jack smiled, "Congradulations Son! you got into U of A!" Jack hugged his son, "I am so proud of you." Gabriella hugged Troy's arm smiling at him. "I'm proud of you too." she smiled kissing his lips.

Sandra got up and hugged her son, "I am too! so proud! your going to be a laker in no time."Troy smiled softly, holding the letter in his hand, "Yeah..this.. this is great." Gabriella hugged around his waist.

Jack frowned, "So umm Gabriella, did you get accepted into Stanford yet?" Gabriella smiled, "Yes.. I did." Troy smiled, "Babe, you didn't tell me! that's amazing!" he hugged her tightly. Sandra smiled, "Congradulations Gabriella." she hugged her. Gabriella smiled, "Thanks."

Gabriella sighed, "But it's so far from U of A.. we'll never see each other-" "hey we'll see each other all the time..I promise." he wrapped an arm around her.

Jack sighed, "You know, Gabriella, being away from Troy can give you and Troy some time to see other people, you know find someone with the same interest."

Troy let go of Gabriella, and held her close. "what's that suppose to mean?" Sandra gulped, "Jack-" "I mean, you two are going to be apart, you here in Alberquerque, She's in California-" "Yeah, But I'm gonna drive my truck up to her every weekend and holiday."

Troy pulled her close, looking her in the eyes, "Were inlove. were going to be together forever." Gabriella smiled softly, "I actually been thinking about taking a few classes here at U of A next year to be closer to Troy, and go to Stanford when I'm ready."

Troy looked at her, she...was thinking about giving up Stanford..? For him? "Brie...what are you talking about? I mean, I'd be thrilled to have you with me...but, Stanford...it's your dream." Gabriella bit her lip, looking at Jack and Sandra, "uhm...can me and Troy talk...privately..please?"

Jack was about to say something until Sandra grabbed his wrist, "Sure." and pulled him into another room. Troy sighed, "Brie, You just can't throw away something amazing like Stanford." Gabriella bit her lip, "You gotta go, it's the right thing to do." Gabriella looked at him, "Troy I always do the right thing, but maybe I should be a little crazy this time-"

"No.. No crazy.. look, I'll go to Berkley to be close to you-" she shook her head, "No! No way Troy I'm not letting you give up U of A.. that's.. that's the school you and your dad always talked about-" he crashed his lips onto hers, and pulled away, "I love you, and I wanna be close to you."

Gabriella sighed, "Listen, Troy.. I know that.. that we just got back together, and..and you wanna be close to me, but let's face it." tears were streaming down her face, "We're going our seperate ways Troy.. either we like it or not, we'll always be wildcats, but.. we're growing up."

Troy cupped her cheek, wiping her tears away, "what do you mean?" Gabriella bit her lip, grabbing his hand with hers, taking it away from her cheek, "I'm saying we have to say goodbye...I'll take the first flight to California tomorrow, and..and you go be the best basketball player you can be.."

She interlocked her fingers with his locking eyes with him, "Don't be mad at me Troy.. cause I know in the end we'll both be happy and successful.."

"I love you..." Troy whispers, running his fingers through her hair. She sighs, pecking his lips softly, "I love you too...together some day soon right?" he nodded, "yeah..some day soon.."
