Chapter – 1

"All passengers boarding the flight to Albuquerque immediately report at …….."

Troy Bolton hurried through the ocean of people in the airport eager as to not miss his flight home. He reached the boarding area (A/N: Sorry, I don't know how the announcements are done in the States and the airport terms there) and was soon sitting in his seat in the plane.

After a few hours, he landed at the airport and after all the security checks and other airport formalities, he dashed out of the airport with his minimal luggage (he was out on a business trip so he didn't have many things with him) to his awaiting car and told the driver that he would take the wheel. After his driver moved out, he hastily got into the car, shoving his bag in the passenger seat and started driving with energy and fervor.

After about 5 minutes of intense driving, he finally reached his destination. Ecstatically, he hopped out of the car and threw the car keys at the security guard, who caught it deftly, and ran through the door shoving the butler. Just then the clock chimed as it stuck 11.00 a.m.

He screamed, "YES!!! I am home. I won!! Finally, I am the first one to reach home. And Dad lost!"

"I never lose Son. You are tardy again and I am the winner as usual."

Troy turned around to find his father smiling triumphantly at him. He groaned, "Damn! How is it that you always make it before me? I started well ahead of my scheduled time today and still you are here before I am!"

"Hah! You think I'm gonna tell you the secret of my success, huh? Dream on, Son, dream on."

"Well, this sucks! But I still declare that one day I'm gonna be here before you and I'll be the one smiling triumphantly while you'll be gawking at me."

"Uh-huh? We'll see that next year. Now shall we….??"

Troy's expression suddenly changed from a scowl to sober as he nodded and replied, "Yes, we shall…"

Troy's father was a businessman who started small but soon grew to be a famous pioneer. Troy followed his footsteps into the company and soon after made his own name. His mother died in an accident when he was in college (around 20 years old). She had tried to save a small child from getting under the wheels of a truck while unfortunately, herself ending up under them. Since then which ever corner of the globe they were in (they were usually busy in business meetings and conferences and didn't get to spend much quality time together), the father and son duo decided to meet at their Albuquerque mansion on this particular day (the day Alicia Bolton died) every year and reminisce the old and happy days they spent here as a family.

This had been their routine for the past 6 years and every year Jack Bolton beat Troy, reaching the place first and every year Troy vowed that he would be the first one next time.

The duo entered the foyer of the mansion where a picture of Alicia Bolton hung. Upon seeing the picture, they each drifted into a reverie in memory of her.

This was the time when the gap left by her was felt even more poignantly.

After standing in the same place like statues for a few minutes, they moved towards the dining table for some brunch. The servants got them their meals and they tucked in hungrily. They sure were hungry.

Ding-dong!!!!!!

The butler opened the door to show two people standing there. One was a guy and the other a girl. They were both of about Troy's age. Troy looked to see who had arrived and got surprised.

"Chad! Taylor!"

"Yo man! How ya doin'?"

"Hi Troy. How are you?"

"I'm super cool, thanks. How are you two? Long time no see."

"Yeah, we were both busy with work" explained chad, "I hardly got to see much of Tay."

Troy and Taylor both rolled their eyes at him.

"Yeah, right."

"Ahem!"

"Oh, hello, Mr. Bolton." Taylor smiled at the older Bolton.

"Hi guys. Hmm. We've got a lot to catch up with." said Jack, "Well, we do have a lot of time this once."

"A lot of time?" questioned Chad.

"Um, yeah." replied Troy, "like a month. We both felt a need for a break from work, so we decided to be here for a month this time."

"Awesome!" cheered Chad.

"Yeah, I'm so glad" beamed Taylor.

"Care to join us for our early lunch?" asked Jack.

"Sure. I can eat any time. I've got a record." mused Chad.

Troy rolled his eyes again, Jack grinned and Taylor smacked him on his head.

"Hey!" scowled Chad.

"Shut it weirdo" hollered Taylor.

"I am NOT a weirdo"

"Yes you are!" said the others together.

Incase you didn't get it, Chad and Taylor aren't married. They are just dating.
