,,Can you believe it?", eighteen year old Gabriella said while folding one of her favorite shirts.
Troy and her sat on the floor of Gabriella's room and were packing her stuff.
,,What?", Troy, her boyfriend, asked her back.
,,What do you think?...We're going to college!"
,,Oh, that."
Gabriella held the jeans she was about to fold and looked at Troy.
,,What's wrong? Aren't you excited?", the young brunette worried.
,,I…yes, but.." Troy stood up and leaned against the wall next to Gabriella's French window.
,,But what?", Gabriella asked softly.
The tall man sighed as he watched outside the window. Then he continued:, It's just…I'm gonna miss it!...I'm gonna miss hanging around with the guys after school, shooting hoops with my dad, hearing my mom shouting for me 'cause I didn't put my socks away…"
Troy could hear his girlfriend giggle as he stopped.
,,I can imagine Lucille saying something like that!", Gabriella said giggling.
,,Yeah", Troy smiled at her, ,,But do you know what I'm gonna miss the most?"
,,What?"
,,Being with the most beautiful woman of the world. Holding her in my arms, kissing her, telling her how much I love her and how gorgeous she is every single day. I'll miss looking in her eyes and watch her laugh. I'm really gonna miss that!"
,,Oh Troy."
Gabriella's eyes got teary by his words.
,,God, I am really going to miss my granny!"
Gabriella just couldn't believe what she'd just heard.
,,You jerk!"
,,Oh, don't be angry, honey!", Troy said pouting as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
He wanted to kiss her cheek, but she turned away and suggested:
,, Why don't you go and kiss your grandmother?"
Troy chuckled as she folded her arms.
,,But that wouldn't be the same!", Troy replied softly, ,,I'd rather kiss my beautiful,…"
Gabriella could feel a kiss on her neck.
,,…attractive…"
Another kiss on her neck.
,,…sweet…"
Again she could feel a kiss.
,,…and gorgeous girlfriend!"
Gabriella looked at him, but didn't say a word.
,,So? You're still angry with me? Otherwise I'll be heartbroken! Never seeing your sweet smile again! That'd be terrible, now wouldn't it? I couldn't stand losing you! Please don't be mad at me, please!"
Troy started to act like he was crying.
And Gabriella tried not to smile, but she couldn't hold in.
,,You are such a drama queen!", she said giggling.
,,Does that mean you forgive me?"
Gabriella was still laughing.
,,Of course I do", she had said before her boyfriend was hugged by her tightly, ,, How couldn't I ?"
Gabriella gave Troy a long kiss on the lips.
,,I'm gonna miss you!", he told her truly still holding her.
,,I'll miss you, too!"
The young brunette pecked him on the lips and let go of him.
Standing again she said:,, Come on! We need to finish packing my stuff."
,,Alright! Let's finish!"
24 minutes later
Troy and Gabriella were still packing when the young woman was holding a blue wrap-around blouse. She looked at it for a second and put it back into her closet.
,,What are you doing?", her nineteen year old boyfriend wanted to know, ,,Won't you take it along?"
,,I don't know."
,,What do you mean "I don't know" ?", Troy asked.
,,I've never worn it. So, whatever!"
,,So you could start wearing it now!"
,,But it doesn't sit well on me!", Gabriella complained.
,,Of course it does!"
,,You really think so?"
,,Yeah! Blue suits you! It makes your eyes gleam! You know?"
….End of Flashback…
Gabriella smiled about the memory and took another look into the mirror.
,,Gabriella? Are you already wearing it?", Amber asked while standing in front of the changing room.
,,Yes."
,,So? Have you already chosen one?", Liza wondered.
,,Yeah,…I think I'm taking this one", Gabriella said thinking…of Troy Bolton.
