Chapter 31

Gabriella had to stay at the hospital for a few days and so did Trevor. A lot of people had come to see him...including Sharpay.

Sharpay looked at Trevor and felt a pang of jealousy when she saw Trevor's ocean blue eyes.

She left, not being able to bear the sight of Trevor.

When Gabriella had come home, everyone was there to see the baby. Gabriella's relatives had come and now her cousins were gushing over the baby.

As Troy saw Gabriella grin, he felt guilt.

When he had proposed to Gabi, he had applied to the same college as her...UCLA. And he had been accepted.

But he had no idea that his father had applied him to another college...Stanford.

Troy had argues with his father. But finally Troy agreed.

He was going to Stanford.

Now had to tell Gabi.

But how?

Just then the doorbell rang. Ms. Montez said, "That must be your husband, Lucille."

Lucille leaned toward her son and whispered, "Fat chance."

Troy laughed quietly when he heard this. Jack had refused to come see the baby. He said it was too painful.

Ms. Montez opened the door to find a familiar man standing at the porch.

He looked so familiar--tanned skin, dark black hair, ebony black eyes, and a beard.

"Maria," he said.

That voice!

IT couldn't be...

"Miguel?" Maria said.

The man nodded. Maria cried and hugged her husband.

Gabriella came out with her cousin, Anna, who was holding the baby.

When Gabriella saw the man, she gasped.

"Daddy!" she cried out. She ran toward him and soon the three Montezes were hugging each other on their front porch.

When they let go, Gabriella led her father into her house and said, "I thought you were dead."

"You were only five," he said, kissing the top of her head. Maria bawled and soon she and her husband were in a tight embrace.

One of Gabriella's grandmother came out. When she saw her son, she cried, "Oh, Miguel, No puedo creer que sea cierto."

She hugged her son and cried.

Gabriella took Trevor and showed him to Mr. Montez.

"Here's your grandson," she said. "His name's Trevor."

Miguel took Trevor and said,"He has your hair, Gabi."

Gabi laughed. Trevor's hair was black, like hers.

While everyone was talking happily, Troy said to Gabriella, "Can we talk in private?"

Gabriella nodded and led Troy up to her room.

She closed her door and sat down on teh bed with Troy.

"Okay, Gabi," he said. "Now when I proposed to you I thought we were both gonna go to UCLA."

"We are, right?" Gabi said.

Troy hesitated. Then he shook his head.

Gabi gaped. "But we just made up two days ago!"

"I'm not breaking up with you, Gabi," Troy assured her. "We're gonna get through this. We can do it."

"How?" Gabriella said. "I'll be in UCLA and you'll be in Stanford."

"But their both in California," Troy pointed out. "And there not that far from each other. We can still call each other and write letters. You know, keep in touch. And we can visit each other during the holidays. We can even go to Ryan and Gloria's wedding together."

Gabriella smiled weakly. She couldn't believe that Troy wasn't breaking up with her.

And she was glad.

"Promise me we'll get through this," Gabriella said.

Troy took her hands and kissed them. He leaned and whispered, "Promise." Then he kissed her passiontely.

Sparks ran through their bodies as they shared the kiss. They were gonna get through this. College wasn't forever.

High school was over, but their romance still lingered in the air.

-THE END -

It's over. sniff sniff.

Oh, and 'No puedo creer que sea cierto' means 'I can't believe its you. '

So should I make a sequel?
