Chapter 4

With Troy—on Ellen

"…and we are back with basketball star turned actor, Troy Bolton." Ellen said, her voice was extremely chipper and her green eyes were as sharp as ever, ready to probe and poke and analyze the interviewee. "So, Troy, what made you go from the court to the silver screen?"

Troy sat tall in the chair, his arms resting lazily on the arm rests as he thought of an answer. "Well, I just thought it was time to go for something different. Start something new and break free." His eyes widened, slightly. Wow, he thought, haven't thought or said that in a while.

End of Troy

"Angelina! Cabs here! Come on we're going to be late!" screamed Gabriella. They were due to land in San Diego in less than 48 hours and they were going to miss their flight, "Angie!"

"I'm coming!" called Angie, "I just need to get something."

"What?" Gabriella asked as she closed the door to lock it.

"Oh, nothing of importance to you." She replied. Almost too quickly.

"Okay." Gabriella said with narrowed eyes, she wasn't letting this go. And her daughter, she thought, knew that.

The noise of the San Diego airport was deafening. The terminals were packed with families trying to get out and on their designated planes. Gabriella and Angie pushed through the enormous crowd to the baggage claim. "Stay close, Angie." Gabriella said, she kept a firm hold on her daughter's wrist. "Okay, mom." Angie replied. Like I have a choice, she thought to herself.

Dear diary,

I can't believe we're here! Visiting my grandpa in San Diego! Awesome Christmas shopping

Awaits me! But, I still feel like something is going to happen; not anything bad, but really

Awesome.

Gotta go, mom's giving me the 'evil glare'.

Jeez.

Tootles-

Angie.
