Meanwhile in the Danforth's backyard

Troy and Chad were shooting some hoops. They've already been playing for an hour now. And Chad was about to win.

,, Danforth has the ball, dribbles past Bolton toward the basket and", Chad simulated a spokesperson, ,, IT'S IN! THE CROWD GOES WILD! WE GOT A NEW CHAMPION!" Chad was cheering while Troy laid down on the grass.

,, That's history, man!", Chad said proudly, ,, Chad Danforth defeated the Troy Bolton!"

,,Yeah", Troy replied kind of bored.

,,Hey, everyone loses sometimes. Don't be a bad loser!"

,,I'm not. "

,,Then why are you like...you know...that?"

,,It's her."

,,Who? Mrs Burton?", Chad said grinning.

,,No, it's not Mrs Burton! Why would I be interested in your 49 year old neighbor who besides got two kids and an ex husband?"

,, 'cause she's damn hot!", he answered now laying next to Troy.

,, She is a cougar!", Troy clarified, ,, I've seen her kissing much younger guys and namely more than once. And they didn't just kiss, they were making out! One time it was in the supermarket! I mean is she serious? Every single one of them could be her son! I'm sure none of them is older than 23."

,,I still think she's hot!...But who were you talking about?"

,,I was talking about Gabriella. I saw her."

,,You saw her? When?"

,, Today."

,,She's in town?", Chad replied surprised, ,,How come I don't know?"

,,I didn't know either! I bet the girls knew!"

,,Taylor definitely did!",Chad responded, ,, That means she lied to me!"

,,She didn't lie. She just didn't tell you."

,,That's the same!", the African-American clarified.

,,Whatever!", Troy caved in, ,, Anyway. What should I do about Gabriella? I mean I can't just cross her way and act as nothing ever happened."

,,You gotta figure it out yourself, dude", Chad said.

But how?, Troy sighed. It was definitely easier said than done. He hasn't seen her since the day they broke up and although he told everybody he was moving on, in truth he wasn't. His heart was still aching for her. He felt incomplete without her. He just wanted to be with his Gabriella.

During the same time at the Montez residence

While Maria was going for a walk, Gabriella was taking a nap on the sofa. She had felt so tired and exhausted. ,,That must be the jetlag!" her mom had said some minutes ago. And Gabriella knew she was right. After all there was a time difference of 6 hours. Right now the young Hispanic dreamt. She dreamt about him. How he touched her. How he laughed and smiled –she loved his dimples. And his lips. He kissed so good. So soft...

,,What are you doing here?",she wondered.

,,I wanted to see you."

,,But-"

,,Shh", he said before he kissed her.

When she pulled back he caressed her cheek.

,,Dave, I..."

,,Don't say anything."

Then she saw...him...him. Like sooner that day.

Gabriella stepped back.

,,Why are you kissing him? I thought we had something special, Gabby."

He looked so good. And his eye...his eyes were bluer than ever.

,,We did, but we...", she stuttered.

,,You two broke up. So step away!", Dave clarified, ,,she's over you!"

,,Shut up! That's none of your business!...Gabby?"

,,Troy..."

But then the dream started to fade away. Gabriella was waking up. She had heard something and when she opened her eyes she saw her.

,,April!"

Her little sister. Gabriella got up as fast as she could, forgetting the strange dream she'd just had.

,,April!", she said hugging her baby sister. Well baby was a bit exaggerated.

After all she was only 3 years younger than her.

,,I'm so happy you're back Gabs! I missed you so much!"

,,I missed you, too!"

While letting go the youngest Montez wanted her sister to tell her everything. And Gabriella suggested sitting down first.

,, Well, what exactly do you want me to tell you?"

,,How's England? Did you find new friends? Who are your roommates? How's Cambridge? And most important how are the boys?"

Gabriella laughed. April was a typical teenage girl. And so beautiful. She had long dark hair, but without the waves Gabriella and their mom had. It was just straight. Her eyes were the same as Gabriella's and her skin was beautifully tanned. Many girls at East High- she was a junior- were jealous because of her slight figure which was toned yet feminine.

,,So?", April was getting inpatient.

,,Everything's great over there. The university is beautiful and yes I found new friends. One is from Dublin, one from London and one comes from Cincinnati."

,,Cincinnati? That's cool. Tell me their names."

,,Amber, Lisa and Dave", the older one said.

,,Dave? A boy? Is he cute?", the 17 year old wanted to know.

,,I...he..why do you want to know anyway? You got a boyfriend! Jeremy. Remember?"

,,So?...", April asked, but then she continued, ,,Wait a minute! You like him! My question's embarrassing you, isn't it?"

,,Nonsense! He's just a friend! That's it! Okay?"

,,Okay, okay. Cool down, sis."

,,Sorry. Guess I'm just tired."

,,You wanna sleep?", April asked kindly.

,,No, then I won't be able to sleep tonight. Guess I'm going for a walk. Wanna come?"

,,No, I can't. I promised Chloe to call her."

,,Alright.", Gabriella said while putting her coat, scarf and gloves on, ,, Oh and mom's at the grocery store. She'll be back any minute. Bye."

Gabriella closed the door behind her and took a deep breath of the fresh air. Home, she thought. Then she started to go down the street to the Park. Oh, how she'd missed that. How she'd missed everything.
