A couple of days later I had to go to school because there was an important class, so while I was walking home I remembered the first time I went to school after my grandma passed away,2 months after she was gone, troy was walking with me holding my hand, trying to comfort me, I was scared about how they would react but with him by my side I felt safe, some of them were supportive, others like sharpay made fun and just enjoyed watching my weakness, but troy, oh troy! He never left me alone, he was always with me, he never let me go! And while I was getting lost in my dreams and memories I heard someone calling my name, I turned around and it was chad, I smiled at him and shook his hands, then he said 'how are you?' I said 'okay, how about you?' he said 'I am fine' I smiled and said 'good!' then I turned around to walk to school when he said 'gabriella...' I turned again to face him and said 'yeah?' he said 'troy..' when I heard his name I immediately looked at the ground and then he said ' he kept asking about you last night..' I said 'chad... no... it is over and I don't want to talk about it.. please?' he nodded and said 'ofcourse' I forced a smile and then I turned around to continue my walk to school but then I faced chad again and said 'is he.. okay?' chad smiled and said 'gabby.. he is trying to be..' I said 'okay..thanks chad' then we walked together until we got to school, then monica saw us and ran towards us, kissed chad and hugged me, then the three of us went to class.

Troy wasn't there, which made me worry about him, even though I tried so many times to get him out of my mind, I never could, but I was just trying to convince myself that I was over him, but I never did and I knew I never will either.
Again I was drifting to my own world when the teacher yelled at me 'gabriella! Why aren't you concentrating with me?' I was confused, and shocked! Then I tried pulling myself together and said 'sorry! I am with you now sir!' he saw tears falling from my eyes, I tried whipping away my tears but it was too late, the teacher saw my tears, and he cleared his throat and said 'gabriella, go wash your face, you look tired, and if you are too tired to return you can go home..' I nodded and said 'thank you.. sir' and I took my bag and left, I walked slowly out of class, but the moment I was out I ran to the bathroom, just as I was opening the door I found troy and sharpay right infront of it, she was kissing him, when I saw it I felt like my world has just fell apart! But then I pulled myself together and said 'sorry.. I didn't know there was somebody here..' and I turned around and walked away. But then I found troy following me and he grabbed my arm and said 'gabby, are you okay?' I said 'yeah, why wouldn't I be?' he said 'come on gabriella it's me! Sorry you had to see that..' I said 'hey troy, you are free to do whatever you want, it is none of my business..' he said 'really? We have reached that point?' at that point I stared into his eyes trying to make him see right through me like he always had, then I said 'troy.. let go of my hand' he kept staring at me so I pulled my arm and turned around to leave when he caught my arm again! At that point I knew if I had stayed one more minute I was either going to fall apart and cry or kiss him! And I didn't want either of them to happen, so I pushed him away and said 'don't do that! Go to your girl troy! I don't care, why do you?' he said 'liar!' I looked at him in amazement, he said 'you are a liar! You care, I can see those tears, I can see right through you! I feel your broken heart, and I can see that you are dizzy, I know that you still want me back just like I want you!' those words made me want to hit him so hard and break his heart like he broke mine! But instead I walked slowly in his direction then I said 'oh really? So you see through me huh?' he nodded and I continued 'well troy, can you see that I don't give a damn about you! Can you see that sharpay is in love with you and you shouldn't leave her? Can you see that I am over you? Troy.. go! Just go!' and I turned around and ran out of school! When I was far from the school I stopped walking and cried. I cried so hard! I was in great pain! Every word I said hurt me more than it hurt troy! I loved him.. then I sat on the sidewalk to take a breath, I kept remembering all the memories, all the promises, all the love.

Then I found someone's shadow infront of me, when I looked up it was sharpay!
I whipped my tears and said 'sharpay? What are you doing here?' she said 'gabriella... we need to talk..'
