"TROY!" I ran towards him and grabbed his bloody hand and looked at him directly in the eye, "What on earth were you thinking?" I said, not sure of what to do.

"I'm fine. Just a bit of blood Gabi, don't worry. I was….just angry." He said, removing his hand from my grasp and shaking it.

"That doesn't give you the excuse to go ahead and punch a wall!" I said, "Let's get you to the nurse." I said, grabbing his other arm, dragging him down the stairs…or at least trying. He wouldn't budge.

"You're not mad at me anymore…are you?" Troy said, as I turned to look at him.

"I'm mad at you for punching a wall. I care about you, you dork. If I didn't I'd be back in New York. Now c'mon…we'll talk about this more when your hand isn't bleeding." I said, rolling my eyes, but kissing him lightly on the cheek.

"Okay…" he said, "But I am sorry Gabs. I'm just frustrated." He said following me down the stairs.

I stared at Troy as he was talking to the nurse about what had just happened. What the hell was the boy thinking? He punched a pillar for goodness sake! I mean, no, I'm not going to hate him for my whole life just because he's made some mistakes here and there. He means too much to me. Is that so bad?

He looked back at me as he began to wrap a bandage around his knuckles and gave me a crooked smile. I smiled back slightly, giving him that 'you're so stupid, but I love you anyways' look. And he understood exactly what I meant.

I continued to watch him as he made his way out of the nurse's office and he came and pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm sorry babe. I can't promise you that I won't make more mistakes, but I can promise that I will try my best to be the best boyfriend you could ever ask for." He whispered into my ear as I began to feel like for once we were really a high school couple.

I stayed there, listening to his loud heartbeat through his chest. I didn't care that people were staring at us like we were disgusting and we weren't meant together because I knew in my heart and in my mind, that fate brought us together. We were destined. "I love you…" I whispered, trying to make sure Troy couldn't hear me because I wanted to save the 'I love you' for later, but I had to say it right then and there.

"I love you too…" he whispered in my ear and I felt my arm get goose bumps. This moment was absolutely perfect. Even if people were staring at us and I hate PDA.

"There you are!" a familiar voice comes from behind Troy and I look to see Carter who was running towards us.

I felt Troy's body begin to tense up and I rested my head against Troy's chest once more. "Don't worry Troy." I said, as I parted from him and looked at the boy who was interrupting our very intimate moment.

"Hey Carter…'' I said, looking at him. He was looking between Troy and I back and forth like he was a little five year old who had just caught watching his parents kissing or something along those lines.

"I was wondering where you had gone. Zak said that I shouldn't worry about it because you guys really needed to talk, but you had been gone for at least the majority of lunch. So I wanted to go and look for you. Besides, some guy wanted to talk to you." He said, "…And he made me go look for you." He said innocently.

I stared at him, completely confused. Some guy…was looking for me? And it wasn't Troy or Zak? Or him? Who else could it be? "And who was it?" Troy asked, speaking up. I turned to look at him and noticed that his eyes had turned a darker shade of blue and his jaw was clenched.

"I don't know, it was some guy who just wanted to know where Gabriella was." He mumbled, staring at his feet, "I'll see you guys back in the cafeteria." He said, quickly turning around, probably feeling frightened by Troy's very intimidating glare.

"Do you know who he's talking about?" Troy said, as he grabbed my hand with a firm grip and practically dragged me to the cafeteria.

"No clue Troy." I said, trying to catch up to Troy's long strides so he wasn't completely dragging me down the hallways. "Slow down Troy! I really don't know who wants to talk to me! Stop getting so worked up about this! I mean…-"

Troy continued to walk, without talking so I just gave up. I might as well just see who was asking for me anyways. He must have some guts to ask me in front of Zak in the first place and then get Carter to get me. "Hey!" I heard a familiar high voice from behind one of the giant pillars in the cafeteria and noticed that it was way too familiar.

"KAYLA?" I screamed as I jumped up and down when I saw her running towards me.

"GABIIIIII!" she screamed into my ear, hugging me tightly, while we're both jumping up and down.

"OH MY GOSH WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I practically yelled in her face, feeling a huge smile on my face.

"Well-"

"I think your forgetting about a special boy!" Carter called from behind me and I just realized that I still needed to see my mystery boy who was asking to see me.

A boy walked from around the corner and smiled at me. "SAMUEL!" I said, running up to him and hugging him with all my might!

"What are you guys doing here?" I said, hugging him, as he picked me up and twirled me. This had just made my day. Actually, this just made today the best day ever!

"Well…" Sam breathed, but was just interrupted by Kayla.

"We got the week off from school for some stupid reason and so we called up Zak here and asked him what you were up to and to see if there was any possibility if we could stay at a hotel nearby. So, when I asked, Zak said that were hotels nearby, but Troy's parents wouldn't let us do that. So we're staying with you silly!" she said, and I couldn't help but smile at the fact that they took the week off to come here to hot, boring, New Mexico.

"That is-"

"Awesome, amazing, spectacular, terrific, fantastic, super-tastic, fantabulous?" Sam said, trying to think of as many adjectives he possible could.

"!" Kayla exclaimed, too excited for her own good.

"Exactly…" I laughed.

"Well I think it's time you give us a tour of your school so we don't get lost. AND THEN…we should totally get a huge tour of this place you guys call Albuquerque." Kayla said, staring at me, with excitement in her eyes.

"Well let's get a move on you dork!" Sam said, looking around the school, completely taking in all his surroundings.

"Finally! We're home!" Kayla said, plopping down on the sofa in the living room, "It is way too hot here." She said.

Zak, Troy, and I had taken Sam and Kayla all around the town to give them the full view of Albuquerque. We showed them the park where I had ran to when I was so upset that one night. We showed them the shops that Troy and I had gone to throughout the summer. It all brought back such great memories regardless. Even if some of them were bad memories. Without those bad memories we wouldn't have good memories.

"And that's all because of me!" Troy said jokingly and we all stared at him like he was crazy. But…in all honestly, he was really hot….

"Well we could go swimming…" I suggested, looking at Troy and he shrugged.

"And I could totally throw you back into the pool like old times?" Troy mischievously smiled at me like a devious child. Great. I was going to relive one of the best memories with Troy, but at the same time the worst. He had shoved me afterwards and slammed the door in my face. Can I say…rejection?

"Are you going to avoid me like last time?" I narrowed my eyes and Troy looked at me apologetically.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know how to handle the situation!" Troy argued, "SHEESH!"

I smiled at him, "Surrreee." I said, "Anyways, you guys can change wherever you want to. There's the basement or any of the bathrooms in the house." I said.

"I call the basement!" Sam said, getting up.

"NO! I call the basement!" Kayla said, "Our stuff is down there!" Kayla got up quickly and shoved Sam back onto the couch and found the basement door, slammed it, then ran down the stairs.

"If you'll excuse me…" Sam said, getting up and repeating Kayla's actions.

"I swear, they're like an old married couple." Zak commented, laughing, "Have you ever thought of how…surprisingly good…to see them actually together?" he said, thinking out-loud.

"Y'know…as much as I really don't like Zak…" Troy said, and I glared at him and shoved him.

"HEY!" Troy said, smiling at me, lightly shoving me back, "Anyways, before somebody rudely pushed me, Zak does have a point. They'd be…a really cute couple."

"OH MY GOSH!" I gasped, "Troy Bolton just said cute…couple." I said trying to be over-dramatic.

"Whatever! You know it's true."

"They'd kill each other!"

"Nah. I think secretly, they both love each other. They're stupid childish antics just hide their true feelings." Zak explained, "Seriously, Gabi, have you never thought about that?"

"No! Because they're my best friends!" I said, "And Kayla hates boys. She doesn't want a relationship!"

"Have you ever thought that maybe she says that so she can wait to see if she can get into a relationship with Sa-"

"Ew. Just stop it." I said, getting up to change into my bathing suit. That was too weird to think about…

I'm sorry that is one is somewhat short! I really wanted it up and these next few chapters should be much better. I promise! I am SOOOO sorry for the late update as well. I noticed I didn't get many reviews on this chapter and that's okay. Thanks guys for being so patient with me!

Fanfictionfan4ever: I'm glad you liked it, because honestly, I thought that last chapter it was crap. (I say that a lot). So thanks for reviewing!

Santeelove: I'm glad you liked the sequel! Some people really wanted it or they wanted me to stop, because they were afraid that I was going to ruin the first one. But I'm glad you liked it!

Telitubiees: Glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!

Heyitsray: Hahahahaha. Actually, my brother who is…around his early 20's punched a wall and broke his pinky and ring finger. It was kind of funny… in a bad way. If you know what I mean. There are a lot of boys who will punch a wall because they're so mad. It's stupid…I agree, but it's true. I was so mad once, I kicked my bedroom door (with my shoes on I might add) and a whole part of the door caved in. Hah. It definitely got my anger out. Anyways, I'm glad you liked that chapter! Thanks for reviewing!

Zac is my life: Well I knew it had to be from you… (I don't know why…) but it's weird because it didn't even have a name on it! It was crazy-whacko! And who wants a boy who immediately changes, when you can't even get a perfect boy in the first place! Psh! Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you liked the last chapter!

Zanessafan4eva14: Well normally logic confuses people, haha. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!

x-TammieBaybii-x: Could you not have made a longer review? Sheesh… Anyways, I'm glad you liked it and we have already established this. And honestly, all guys do have some weird anger issues. My brother has punched a wall…and he broke his pinkie. Heh. Anyways, sorry I haven't updated in so long. And yeah. Barbie and I aren't really chatting as much as we used to. His sister is getting married. And apparently he's back into the dating business. Anyways, I'll talk to you later. Thanks for reviewing!

Zanessatroyella2013: I will check out your stories as soon as I have time. I barely have time to write my own stories, do my homework, and stay sane. So I will read them! I promise! Thanks for reviewing!

Zanessastories1225788: Everyone always get a shout-out silly! It doesn't matter whether you're the first or the last. It still means a lot to me, regardless. Anyways, it's okay. I don't care if I won or not. I still have amazing supporters. And I hope you like the added Sam and Kayla in this chapter! Thanks for reviewing!

XxBabiiGurlxX: Thanks for reviewing!

Dreamsalive: Lol, well…that's all true. And okay, that's good. Some people comment on stuff that was already established in the last story…so it makes me thing they didn't read it. Anyways, thanks for reviewing!

SLE: He will. It just takes some lesson learning on Troy's behalf. And I always base characters based off of people I know. Sometimes it could people I know who have horrible lives. Sometimes they're based off of my crazy, whacko friends who are so sweet to me. Sam is based off of one of my amazing guy friends who's probably the sweetest boy I know. Anyways, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!

Pumpkinking5: Well thank you for reviewing! And Troy is always trying. He just…doesn't really know how to try the right way… And I liked the way you put Troy's actions. Very well put! Thanks for reviewing!

Sara: Sorry for the late update! Thanks for reviewing!
