Three days later and Gabi had somehow managed to avoid Troy at all the rehearsals and practices. Now with the wedding tomorrow, they were all having one last run through, and she had no choice but to see and talk to Troy.

As she walked into the extravagantly decorated hall, she immediately noticed Katy looking incredibly stressed out and Danny talking very angrily on his mobile phone. She approached Katy.

"Hey, so is everything going ok?" she asked, "Oh thank god you're here!" Katy replied, "It's my maid of honor; she's had to go home, work emergency or something like that. It's a disaster; the entire party is unbalanced now! Who's going to walk down the aisle with Troy, the best man?" Katy put her head in her hands and Gabi felt truly bad for her.

"I'm sure it'll all work out, you and Danny will be really happy, it's your wedding day, nothing can take that away from you!" Gabi said, trying hard to cheer Katy up.

Katy lifted her head up and Gabi saw the smudged mascara and knelt down to give her a hug. Katy hugged her back, and said "Gabi, you're the best singer we could have got, and I have to thank you for everything you've done for us".

Suddenly Katy's eyes widened and she looked at Gabi with a sparkle in her eyes. "Gabi, you could do it!" she said excitedly, "Eh, do what?" Gabi replied anxiously, as she thought she knew what Katy was about to suggest. "You could be the maid of honor! You've been the best over the last few weeks and I honestly would be so happy if you agreed, please?" said Katy.

Gabi was screaming at herself to say no, she knew it would mean spending more time with Troy, but when she looked at Katy's face she also knew that she couldn't possibly say no, she was so desperate.

So with a plastered on smile, she put on a brave face and responded, "Of course I will, thank you so much for the opportunity". With that Katy jumped up and hugged Gabi before running over and informing Danny of the good news.

"Gabi come over here!" Katy shouted, "You and Troy should get to know each other if you're going to be walking down the aisle together! I think he's in here, come on".

Gabi followed slowly behind Katy into the reception area of the hotel, and saw Troy writing what she assumed was his best man speech.

"Troy, you've met Gabi right?" Katy asked, bringing Troy out of his concentration. Troy looked up and straight into Gabi's eyes. "Yeh, we've met" he replied. "Right well good news, as Tiffany had to go home, I've asked Gabi here to be my maid of honor, so you'll be walking her down the aisle, and I think you should get to know each other a bit" she said almost giddily.

Troy's face noticeably sunk, and he replied as enthusiastically as he could, "Oh, that's great news Katy".

"Right well I'll leave you two to talk!" Katy said and she quickly exited the room, leaving Gabi and Troy in an incredibly awkward silence. Troy turned back to his writing, whilst Gabi stared at a wall as though it was a Picasso painting.

After about 10 minutes of silence, Gabi had had enough and spoke up. "Look Troy, I know it's awkward, but we're going to have to get along for Katy and Danny's sake. So we have to stop being childish and just talk."

Troy looked up at her and sighed, "I guess your right, it's just hard, I put myself on the line the other day and got completely shot down, I'm not used to that" he replied "But I know that you did what you have to do, so lets start over, like we never met" he stood up and held his hand out "I'm Troy Bolton, nice to meet you, what's your name?"

Gabi looked at his outstretched hand and let her hand reach out and take his, saying "I'm Gabriella Montez, nice to meet you". Troy looked up at her and looked at her smiling face, and from that moment it was his one mission, to win Gabriella Montez's heart back!
