After Gabriella arrived she went straight to her room and lucky For her, her dad just let her vent and didn't punish her. Around 3:00 a.m. she layed in her bed staring at the ceiling. She finally got up and walked outside on her balcony. To see-guess who- Troy on his balcony. She went inside before he could see her then she grabbed her phone and called him. His phone started going off and he looked down at his phone and didn't recinieze the number apparently. That's when she stepped out and said, "Hey wildcat how dare you not answer your phone when i'm calling" she said in a joking tone.

He looked up and said, "well i didn't know it was you or i might have considered answering it" he said with a grin

"how rude you didn't put my number in your phone and i've known you for a day. OMG" she said trying not burst out laughing while talking

"i know how dare me"

"now your getting the big pitcher"

"isn't it past your bed time montez?"

"what about your Bolton?"

"i make the rules around here i'm the sheriff"

Gabbi was laughing while talking "well sheriff what's the damage?"

"oh non they didn't even know i was gone"

"oh really? same here but my dad knew he just didn't punish me"

"he hasn't got the memo yet?"

"nope he's knew to the parenting thing and all you know"

They started laughing. Then gabbi said, "so what are we doing with the Lava Springs thing?"

"well, my offer still stands if that's what you mean"

"no i mean like when are we going?"

"chad & taylor are coming over around 9"

"okay then i'll see you at nine"

"wait.."

"yeah"

"if anyone asks why your here what do i tell them?"

"i'll let them know when i'm ready to tell"

"okay"

After that gabbi went back into her room and surprisingly fell asleep. At 8:00 the next morning she woken up by something hitting her window. She got up and walked over to her window to she troy trying to wake her. She walked out on her balcony and said, "hey wildcat"

He smiled and said, "Hey yourself Gabs. Listen Chad just called and said him and Taylor would be here at 9:15"

"okay i'll go get ready, i'll be done in 45 minutes and i'll come over, okay?"

"yeah sure that's fine"

Gabbi walked back into her room then got into the shower. When she got out her clock read 8:25. She went to her make-up stand and started putting it on she put on waterproof mascara just in case. Then she put on her bathing suit and shorts and a tank top over it.

Then she walked down the hall to her dad's study. his was in there working big shocker and she told him where she'd be and she'd have her cell phone with her at all times. She walked back into her room to grab her purse and go over to Troy's house hope i don't get lost i mean he lives right next door lol. She walked out her front door went to Troy's house she rang the doorbell and his mom answered it she said, "oh hello?" i'm guessing troy hasn't told his mom about me.

"Is troy home?" why'd i say that of course he is i just saw he 45 minutes ago

His mom turned around and yelled, "troy! it's.." then she remembered she didn't know my name/

"Gabriela" she said.

"troy it's Gabriella"

Troy ran down the stairs and said, "i got it mom", then he turned to Gabbi and said, "hey come in"

she stepped into his house she had never been in a place so homey before. he led her to the living room which had all of the state championship basketball trophies in it. After she looked at all of them she said, "so i'm guessing your dad's the coach"

troy said, "yeah and i've been voted captin the last 2 years" holding up two fingers

"cool. so your some basketball star aren't you"

"i guess you could say that"

"so that's why you chad, zeke, & jason were playing basketball"

"yeah i'm suprised you remembered all of their names"

"i have a photographic memory"

"so your some kind of geek that makes straight A's if that's the case get out of my house" he said jokingly laughing

"yeah and all i wanted was to hang out with the basketball stars" she said frowning then she laughed

Then Troy's dad walked into the room he said, "troy can i talk to you for a minute"

Troy nodded then left the room. Gabbi just looked around and saw nothing but family photos that had Halley in them. for a family that is grieving so badly why have all of these photographs? Then troy walked back in while saying, "sorry he needed to tell me stuff about basketball"

she smiled and said, "that's fine"

then they heard a honk and went outside where gabbi saw a jeep with Chad & Taylor sitting in it.
