Chapter Two

Dear Diary,

College. What to say about this past year.. It has been.. very complicated. Every night I sit here and look out my window in my dorm. Every night my roommate asks if I'm okay. I simply smile and nod. Truth is, I'm not okay. Ever since I started college, I haven't been okay. I was supposed to go through this experience with Ryan. He promised me. He promised to always be by my side. Sometimes, I feel as though he still is with me. It's hard to let go of someone who once was so close to you. To me, Ryan's not.. dead. Yeah, I went to his funeral. Of course I saw his lifeless body in the coffin, but he's still here. I see him. Every night in my dreams he talks to me. He makes sur everything is okay and that I'm not hurting too much. I think I am hurting too much. First, I have to say good bye to Troy.. Oh, Troy. My first love. I'll never forget him. His smile, his blue eyes.. I wonder where he is now.
-switch to Sharpay's life outside of her diary-
"Shar, you've got mail!" Her room mate, May, came bouncing into their dorm and Sharpay slammed her diary shut.
"Who's it from?" Sharpay asked, curiously.
"East High?... That's an odd name." Sharpay giggled.
"It's my old school," she explained and took the envelope from May.
Sharpay slid her manicured fingertip under the flap of the envelope and pulled out a letter written on red and white stationary, her school's old colors. It read;

Dear Sharpay Evans,

You are invited to a night of celebration and old friendships!

What: High school reunion.

Why: To remember old friends and relationships

When: Saturday, February 11th

-insert principal's messy signature here-

-Switch back to Sharpay's diary-

Well, I just got a letter. It was an invitation to my high school reunion Maybe I'll get to see Troy. I wonder if he's still with that Gabriella girl.. Wait. Maybe I shouldn't go. Can I really handle a night with old friends without my twin? Everyone will ask about him, I know it. But I can't miss out on a chance to see Troy. He must look so handsome now. That's it. I'm going dress shopping.

Toodles!

Troy stepped out of the shower, realizing he was the only one left in th changing room. His team-mates had probably already gone off to wherever they had to be, so he could just get dressed by himself. He dried himself off andhopped into his sweatpants and t-shirt. He packed his things together, his ball, his dirty clothes and his water bottle, before heading out of the changing room, through the gymnasium and into the hall.
He was met by Tanya, one of the cheerleaders, who gave him a big bear hug,

"Hi Troy!" she giggled, placing a wet, sloppy kiss on his cheek.

"Uhm, hi." Troy smiled, lifted his shoulder, to rub his chin off against it, which luckily, the girl didn't see, "What's up?"

"Not much," she replied, walking along with him, trying her best to get his attention.

Troy didn't reply back, but eyed the way she moved. They used to go out. A couple of months ago, for like, two weeks. She wasn't really special, just another girl in the long line of girlfriends he'd had while being in collage. He went out with them, and broke it off with a snap of the fingers.

She waved bye to him when he passed her dorm, and he continued to his own. He walked into his room, throwing his bag by the door. He looked up, to come face to face with Andrea, his newest girlfriend. He shot her a huge smile, she was lying across his bed, and he could tell she had been waiting for awhile.

"Sorry, I needed a long shower, babe." Troy replied, sitting down by her.

"It's okay…" Andrea replied, cocking an eyebrow, "The mail got here. You have a very fancy letter waiting for you on the table."

He stood up and went across the room, picking up the letter. He recognized the colors immediately, it could only be from one place. "Wow," he mused.

"What is it?" Andrea asked, standing up as well, to be able to look at the letter.

"It's from my high school." Troy replied.

"Open it."

He nodded and ripped the envelope open, taking out the letter. His eyes scanned through the lines, his heart beating faster. Oh. He was going to a high school reunion. That was so tight! He was gonna see everyone again…
Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Taylor… and CHAD!

'Wonder what he has been up to?' Troy thought to himself.

"Was is it, babe?" Andrea whispered, sliding her hands across his shoulders.

"High school reunion." Troy replied, "On February 11."

"So? Are you gonna go?" Andrea questioned.

"Yes, y'know," Troy begun, placing the letter on the table, as he turned to look at his girlfriend, "Of course. I was the most popular guy, I have to be there…"

"Oh, so you were the most popular guy?" Andrea questioned, "I bet you had a lot of girls running after you…"

"Oh," Troy whispered, moving his face closer to hers, "Just a few, you know…"

She giggled and leaned in, placing her lips on his. He kissed back, sliding his tongue into her mouth. He already knew where this was going…

Gabriella Montez. Ever since she was little, you heard her name and you thought "smart". Even now, in college, she was the smartest girl on campus. Most of Gabriella's time was spent either studying or helping her room mate. For Gabby, it wasn't hard having a... slow room mate. It was fun. Lilly was always an adventure, a change of pace.

"Gabs!" Lilly called cheerfully. Lilly always had a way of lighting up a room as she walked in. She was full of pep, and Gabriella loved her for that. Gabby needed some excitement in her life. Ever since she had to leave East High and Troy... She hadn't been the same. All the hard work and her new friend helped her forget him... A little.

"Earth to Gabby?" Lilly asked, after Gabriella had ignored her.

"What? Sorry. I was just..." Gabriella stopped when she caught sight of the envelope in Lilly's hand.

"Hey Lils.. can I see that?" she asked pointing to the envelope in her friend's hand.

"Sure.. I was just going to throw it out anyway. We always get junk mail here." Lilly shrugged and tossed the envelope to Gabriella. Gabby giggled and shook her head. She slid her nail under the flap and was confirmed by the stationary who it was from.

"East... High?" she asked more to herself than anyone else. She couldn't believe her luck. Getting to see Troy once again. After scanning the invitation Gabriella smiled.

"What's that?" Lilly asked, tilting her head to the side.

"My high school. There's a reunion coming up," Gabby said. She placed the invitation on her neat and tidy desk under a paper weight.

"Well we need to get you something to wear, don't we?" Gabriella looked down at her outfit. A teal skirt paired with a white clingy tank top. Tanks and skirts were about all Gabriella wore now.

"Uhm.. yeah," Gabriella said, smiling at her friend.

"Let's go then!" Lilly exclaimed. She grabbed their purses and ran out the door.
