After So Many Years

Ch.3

"Good morning guys these are for you." Aubrey said and handed them two red,white,and gold envelopes. Their eyes go wide. Aubrey noticed this.

"Whats wrong guys?" she asked confused.

"This is from our high school." Gabriella said quietly. Aubrey was still confused.

"Should we open it?" Sharpay asked barely audible talking for the first time. Gabriella nodded and the two opened it. They both gasped.

"What is it?!" Aubrey said very curious.

"Its...its our 15 year reunion this Friday." (AN: Its Wednesday now) Sharpay said before running upstairs crying.

"Whats wrong with mom?" Aubrey asked worried. Gabriella sighed and smiled at her warmly.

"Its hard to explain." she said and went upstairs to Sharpay's room leaving a very worried and confused Aubrey.


With Gabriella

She went and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" she herd Sharpay say faintly. She can tell she had been crying hard.

"Its me Shar." Gabriella replied as she seen the door slowly open. Sharpay collapsed in her arms. Gabriella just hugged her and slowly shut the door and moved them to the bed. After a few minutes when the crying slowed Gabriella pulled back.

"So do you wanna talk about it?" Sharpay nodded. Gabriella looked at her waiting.

"Do you think we should go?" she finally said quietly.

"I actualy think we should I really want to see the others. I hope they aren't still mad at us."

"Puh-lease you just want to see Ryan!" she smirked when she saw Gabriella blush.

"Nuh-uh! That's only part of it." she said as they both giggled.

"Lets go to it." Sharpay said. Gabriella looked at her

"Are you sure?" Sharpay sighed.

"Yeah. Do you think Troy and Claire will be there?"

"I don't know. But if they are are you going to tell Aubrey about them?" Sharpay shook her head quickly.

"No! Aubrey would kill me for not telling her sooner. If they are there then we have to keep them away from each other!" Gabriella sighed before nodding then there was a light knock on the door before Aubrey came in and jumped onto the bed next to her mother.

"Are you ok mom?" Sharpay smiled at her.

"Yeah and guess what?" Aubrey looked at her confused.

"What?" Gabriella was confused too.

"We are going to Albuquerque tomorrow so go back enough clothes for about a week." Aubrey looked at her and smiled.

"Really?" Gabriella looked at her surprised.

"Yeah really?" Sharpay laughed.

"Yep go pack your clothes guys." They nodded and walked off. She picked up the phone and sighed. She then called for her plane tickets. Then she started packing herself.


Troy walked downstairs and got the mail off counter that Claire and obviously put there. He groaned when he saw the red,white, and gold envelope, he read it silently.

"Claire!" Claire came downstairs.

"Yeah dad?" he sighed.

"Pack your clothes were going to Albuquerque tomorrow." Claire nodded.

"How long?"

"I don't know a week or so."

"Ok why are we going anyway?"

"Its my 15 year reunion." 'God I hope they aren't there!'

"Oh does that mean Aunt Tay and Uncle Chad are going?" she said excited. He smiled.

"Probaly, I don't know lets have them over." he said and grabbed the phone and called Chad. A few minutes later the doorbell rang.Claire opened the door and smiled.

"Hey guys!" she said and hugged Chad, Taylor, And Joseph. "Dad's in there." she said pointing to the kitchen. "I'll be down in a minute. I'm just going to check my e-mail. You wanna come Joe?" Joe smiled and nodded. They went upstairs.


With Troy

"Oh god what am I going to do what if their there! Gabi and Jason and Ryan they probably hate me! I don't even wanna know about Shar. She probably hates me the most! UGH!" Troy said talking to himself pacing back and forth. Taylor and Chad came in.

"Your worried about the reunion aren't you?" Taylor asked causing Troy to jump and turn around.

"You guys scared me to death! And yes I am worried."

"Don't worry I am too. We haven't seen them in forever! Graduation day to be exact! We haven't even seen Kels in two years." Taylor replied.

"Yeah and what about Jason?" Chad said. Troy shrugged. Just then Claire ran down the stairs holding Joe.

"Alright why didn't anyone tell me about Sharpay Evans?!" Their eyes widened.

"Wh...what about Sharpay Evans?" Chad asked worried.

"That you went to high school with her!" They all sighed in relief.

"Why didn't you tell me? Oh my god! Is she gonna be at the reunion?" They shrugged.

"Probably." Claire's eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh! Dad give me your credit card!"

"Why?" he said confused.

"Because I need a new outfit." she said whining.

"Claire you have to many outfits now!"

"Nuh-uh! Please daddy!" She said with puppy dog face.

"Fine but don't spend to much." he said handing her his card. She smiled.

"Thanks daddy." she said kissing his cheek and running out the door. Joseph went upstairs to play.

"She has you wrapped around her finger." Taylor said.

"Yeah remind you of anyone?" Chad smirked. Troy sighed and went to the living room, the others followed.

"Yup I don't know how I am going to face her Friday." he groaned and fell back onto the couch. Taylor sat next to him and Chad next to her.

"Hunny you'll have us. I mean I'm nervous too, but more excited. I just hope they are not still mad at us for walking out." Taylor said.

"Me too." the boys replied at the same time Joseph came downstairs.

"Uncle Troy can I watch TV?" Troy smiled and nodded. So everyone set their watching Sponge bob, until Claire came home.

"Oh my gosh I bought the cutest dress ever!" she said and sat the bag down, then sat on Troy's lap. He looked at her.

"And how much did this dress cost me?"

"Not much...It was in sale." she said innocently.

"Whatever." he said.

A few minutes later Chad, Taylor, and Joseph left. They promised to meet up at the airport tomorrow at 12:00 to go together. After they left, Troy and Claire went to bed, hoping their time in Albuquerque would go smoothly.
