Chapter 2
Troy drove in his pickup truck in confusion. Ella's in love with me? Why is she angry at me? What did I do wrong? Did I say something that might have hurt her feeling? Troy thought as he parked his car in front of his house. When he came in he was greeted by his little sister, Angela who is six years old. "Hey Troy where have you been? Did you see Gabi? Did she ask for me?" Angela asked Troy just smiled at his sister and said "Yeah, in went to Gabriella's. She's OK I guess. No kiddo she didn't but next time I'll tell you asked for her" giving her a lie. All the question in his head are giving him headaches. He then said "Hey Angela where's mom and dad?" Angela just shrugged and said "Dunno, they said something about family emergency and will be back in a couple of hours. Can you tuck me in Troy?" she asked him. Troy just smiled and said "Sure thing kiddo. Come on" the walked up the stairs and intro Angela's pink room where everywhere is full of pink items like pink toys, posters and even the bed's duvet cover is pink. "So, did you brush your teeth?" Troy ask his sister. "I sure did. See?" showing him her pearly white teeth. "OK, now do you want me read you a bedtime story?" He asked his kid sister. "Yay, a story. A story! Tell me about Cinderella. Please Troy." she begged. "Alright. Now once upon a time……"he read her a story and when he was done Angela has fallen fast asleep. He covered her closely with the blanket and kiss her forehead and whispered "Goodnight Angela. Sweet dreams" and turned off the lights and went to his room where he changed into a wife beater and shorts. He brushed his teeth and climbed into bed. When he touched the pillow he soon fell fast asleep.
In his sleep he dreamed about Gabriella. She was wearing a beautiful dress. It is a formal dress decorated with beads around the waist and has a strap that is made of satin. On her head she has her hair in a bun and on top of that bun lay a simple tiara. On her feet she wears a pair of glass slippers. She was breathtaking. He dreamed that him and Gabriella was dancing at some sort of party and was dancing to a slow song. Every eyes were on them. Next to them of the right Chad and Taylor danced together as a couple while on their left Ryan Evans was dancing with Kelsi. It was truly a magical dream. Troy smile as he saw Gabriella smiling back at him but then the scene changes and they at another place. Gabriella was holding a bag with tears in her eyes as she said goodbye. Troy tried to call out for her but its seems like Troy couldn't scream. That's when Troy woke up and looked at the clock at his bedside table. Its said 6.50AM. Troy stood up from his bed and stretched as he quickly went in the bathroom and changed as he gets ready to go to school his thoughts was still at the dream. "What a strange dream I had last night." Troy mumbled under his breath as he walked downstairs to find his parents and his kid sister having breakfast. He joined them and started eating his pancakes without saying a word. Troy dear would you be a dear and send your sister to kindergarten for me. I have to go to work early today because I have a presentation today. Thanks Troy" Lucille said as she grabbed her bag and keys, kissed her husband and said "Bye" as she was out the door. Troy sighed and finished eating his pancakes. He washed the dishes as his dad went off to work leaving him and Angela alone at home. "Hey kiddo, lets go." He said as he picked up his backpack and held out a hand for Angela who skipped happily to the door. Troy drove carefully and send his sister to kindergarten and went straight to school.
In school, he expect Gabriella at her locker but found only Taylor and Chad who glared at him. "Hey guys" He greeted them. "Troy, what the hell is wrong with you?" Chad spat at him. "What? what's goin' on?" Troy asked, confused. "Oh don't play coy. I know it was you who made her want to kill herself last night? Why do you always break her heart Troy? What kind of a best friend are you?" Chad said pointing his finger at Troy's chest. "What? Ella tried killing herself? OMG!" Troy freaked out as he ran out of school , ignoring Chad and Taylor and jumped in his car drove to Gabriella's house hoping she'll be OK.. When he arrived he house was quiet, Too quiet. He wanted to knocked on the door but then he changed his course of entrance and decided to use the balcony. He climbed the tree and found a sleeping Gabriella mumbling in he sleep. He opened the door of the balcony and went in her room which is now full of boxes here and there. He avoided a few boxes and when he didn't see he topped over a box full of colourful things . He saw Gabriella moaned and moved as she sleeps. He walked slowly and went to the bedside table that was half opened. He saw a book that said Ella's Songs. He opened the book and flipped through to find many song that she wrote. He flipped to the last page and found a song. He picked up her guitar and started playing as he read the lyrics he found out that she's been in love with her. With that one song he knew he should have kept his promise. He still remembers the promise as it was crystal clear in his head. He put the guitar down and decided to wake Gabriella up. "Ella, wake up. I have something to tell you." Troy said. Gabriella who opened her eyes saw Troy closes her eyes again while grumbling "Go away Troy" as she pushed him off the bed. Hard. Thankfully he didn't fell on the guitar but on some pillows with an "Oomph" sound from Troy and a loud thud telling Gabriella that he fell. She quickly got up to see if he's alright. Sure she's still angry at him but she doesn't want anyone get killed. "Troy, you OK?" She asked worried. "Yeah I'm OK. Thank goodness for these very comfy cushions that you have my but is save once again. Ouch" He said as he tried to get up. "I think I have a butt crack" Gabriella couldn't help but giggle. "You are such a dork Troy" she rolled her eyes as Troy made a face. "Hey its not my fault I fell down in the first place. If sleeping beauty here didn't push me I would've been save and uninjured." he complained. Gabriella faked a gasp "You did not just call me Sleeping Beauty." Troy smirked and said "I so did." Gabriella took a pillow from behind her and said "well if I'm Sleeping Beauty you would be the handsome prince that will be tortured by the Sleeping Beauty herself" hitting him with pillows. He took a pillow and they started a pillow fight, a few minutes later the room and themselves was all covered with feathers. They laughed as they Troy tickled Gabriella "Say it! Say Troy is the hottest guy in the whole wide world and I can't live without him!" Troy said as he laughed and tickled Gabriella's sides. "Ha ha ha ha. Alright. Troy is the hottest guy in the world and I can't live without him! There, are you happy now?" Gabriella laughed out loud as she let Troy tickle her some more. "Very" Troy said and they turned towards each other and Troy leaned over at Gabriella and kissed her. She kissed back. This time she didn't pull back. "I love you Troy Bolton more than a best friend should" she said and Troy said with a big grin on his face said "I love you Gabriella Montez more than a best friend should" and they kissed again.
Their kiss felt like hours as they didn't realized that Chad, Taylor, Kelsi and Gabriella's mom came in the room and saw these two best friends kiss. Maria decided to take a picture. She quickly ran to her bedroom and looked for the camera. When she found them she rushed back to Gabriella's room and without a moment to spare took a picture. Troy and Gabriella saw a flash of light and looked at the door to find their friend smirking and Gabriella's mom smiling as she held the camera up and took another picture as she said "This is so going to in the family photo album!" with an excited tone. They both blushed and was speechless. "Urm, hi?" Troy and Gabriella said, The others keep on smirking as Taylor and Kelsi said "I knew they would be together at last. Psyche!" Chad went over to Troy and said "Finally! Now lets get something to eat, I'm starving. Mrs Montez what's for dinner?" Taylor just rolled her eyes and said "Seriously Chad. Times like this all you can think about is food? This is so typical of you." Chad went back to Taylor and said "Oh come on Tay, I'm a guy, I get hungry easily." Taylor rolled her eyes again and mumbled "Men" and walked downstairs following Maria Montez who secretly left the hall and now might've been downstairs fixing up some food. "Women" Chad replied. Kelsi followed the two of them downstairs leaving Troy and Gabriella alone in the room. "Troy." she said and Troy looked at Gabriella. "Thanks. For everything." she continued. "Your most welcome Ella. I love you Ella. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked her. "Yes. Oh yes" Gabriella yelled out as they kissed and hugged each other again. "wanna go down and get something to eat? I'm not sure about you but I'm hungry." Gabriella just rolled her eyes. "Seriously? You have becoming more and more like Chad every single day." Troy faked a gasped "You did not just compare me with egghead over there?" Troy said as they both giggled. "did someone just called me an egghead?" Chad came in the room with mouth full of Gabriella's mom's famous brownies. "Chad, what are you doing here?" Taylor came up to them and took him by the ear, "Ow, ow ow….Tay…let me go. It hurts!" Troy and Gabriella couldn't stop laughing as they followed them to the kitchen. Chad with ears now red frowning like a big baby sat back down and ate properly. "Seriously, we should really match make those two. They look so right with each other." Troy mumbled to Gabriella who nodded. It was a happy moment for them. That night after everyone left except for Troy who decided to stay over was sitting cuddling Gabriella while watching Transformers when Maria Montez made them sit down as she made an announcement "Since you two are still in school and are dating I decided to postpone the move until Gabriella graduated from East High. Is that good news or what?" she asked them. Troy and Gabriella looked at each other and grinned. Gabriella yelled out "OMG Mom, thank you. That is great news. I can't wait to tell Chad, Taylor and Kelsi. They're gonna freak! Thank you mom. I love you oh so much!" and hugged her mom tight. Troy just stared at awe at what he just heard as he sees mother and daughter hugging each other. It was a very happy day for them.
Many months has passed and now, Troy and Gabriella are still going strong. Sure there are ups and downs here and there but they would make up and keep on being together. They went to the audition for the Spring Musical and got the main lead. They did its successfully much to Sharpay Evans's dismay who wants to break them up but after a few failed attempts to break them up, she gave up and decided to be friends with them. Alongside with them are Ryan Evans, Kelsi's boyfriend, Zeke Baylor, Sharpay's boyfriend and Martha Cox. They become a group of mixed status. Jock, Drama, and Brainiacs. Everywhere they go people would always ask for advice.
Summer has come by and Sharpay offered the gang a complementary membership at Lava Springs, her parents' country club. They spend the whole Summer just having fun. One day, Sharpay told them about the Midsummer Night's Talent Show where members are allowed to perform Kelsi became excited and went quickly to the music room where she written a song for Troy, Gabriella and the others. After successfully written a song she gathered all of them including Troy and Gabriella and they started practicing. After so many hours of practicing they were ready to perform. On the night of the talent show Gabriella grew very nervous. Troy took her hand and said "Don't be nervous. Just take my hand and I will always be there for you." Gabriella just smiled and nodded happily relieved that she got Troy to comfort her. After the dreadful sock puppet performance, they were up next. Troy came out from the left side of the stage and started to sing
