Zeke pulled Troy through the crowd towards the stage. They stopped in front of the stage.
"Okay man are you ready?" Zeke asked. Troy nodded and Zeke walked away. Troy walked on stage and to the microphone. He cleared his throat and spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please?" Troy asked. Everyone turned his or her attention to him.
"Okay well as a traditional ceremony, the best man is suppose to give a toast to the newly weds."
Gabriella had walked in and stands by the doorway. She watched Troy give his speech.
"What can I say? I've known Chad for as long as I can remember. He's not the smartest guy but he is a great guy. Now when Chad told me in high school that he got a date with Taylor, I was a little shock. I couldn't imagine Chad going out with Taylor. I mean Taylor's talented, smart, beautiful, and well Chad isn't."
The crowd along with Chad and Taylor laughed.
"But it's true what they say, opposites do attract. And everyday I see Chad and Taylor together; I see something that is rarely seen these days. And that is true love. Everyone wants to find the one for him or her. But the truth is that you can't find love, love finds you. Sometimes you don't even realize the one you want is right in front of your eyes." Troy shifted his gaze to Gabriella in the back. Their eyes connect.
"True love is something precious and something you should hold on to for life. When you find that one person, they'll change your life once and for all. They'll be with you through every obstacle and life changing moment. And your relationship will know no distance." Troy shifts his gaze back to Chad and Taylor.
"So here's to the almost newly weds. Let's just hope Taylor doesn't find a better man within the next few hours or that Chad gets cold feet."
The crowd laughed again as they raised their glasses.
"To Chad and Taylor," Troy said raising his glass.
"To Chad and Taylor, the crowd repeated. Troy took a sip of his glass and walked off the stage. Gabriella walked to the table and sat down as the couples started to dance on the floor.
'When You Look Me In the Eyes' by the Jonas Brothers play in the background. Troy sat down his drink and searched for Gabriella. He found her sitting alone and walked over to her.
"May I have this dance?" Troy asked. Gabriella smiled at him and took his hand. Troy led them to the dance floor. They slow dance along to the music in silence. Gabriella laid her head on his shoulder as Troy slowly led them to the music.
"When I hold you in my arms, I know that it's forever. I just got to let you know that I never want to let you go," Troy sang softly to her. She smiled.
They continued dancing until the music died down. They stopped of the dance floor with their hands still intertwined. They sat down at a far away table from the crowd.
Troy looked at her.
"You okay? You're kind of silent," Troy said. She looked at him.
"I'm ok. Just enjoying the moment," Gabriella replied. Troy smiled.
"You know what you said in that letter meant a lot to me. I was a little worried you didn't love me anymore and that maybe you found somebody else."
"Why would you think I wouldn't love you anymore? There is no one else Troy. I haven't even gone out on a date since you and I broke up."
"Really? I find that hard to believe."
"Well believe it cause it's true."
Troy stared at her and soon started leaning in. Gabriella can feel his breath on her skin and before she knew it, Troy had closed the gap between them. Automatically both closed their eyes. Troy's tongue ran along her bottom lip asking for permission. Gabriella granted it to him and their tongues explored each other's mouths.
Minutes later, they pulled away. Troy stared into her eyes as she opened them.
"I love you more than you can ever know," Troy said.
"I love you too," Gabriella replied. As they were about to kiss, Chad interrupted.
"Okay I'm glad you two are together again but I'm still not use to the PDA," Chad said. They turned their head to see Chad with his hands in his pockets standing before them.
"Good old Chad. Perfect timing dude," Troy said still holding Gabriella's hands.
Chad nodded. "Taylor wants us outside," Chad said leading them out. Troy and Gabriella got up and walked outside hand in hand. When they got there, all the Wildcats were there; Zeke with Sharpay in his arms, Ryan with Kelsi by his side, Jason with Martha, and Chad with Taylor.
"Well it seems like the Golden Couple are back together," Sharpay said smiling at them. Troy chuckled as he pulled Gabriella into a tight embrace.
"What do you know it's like high school again," Chad said holding on to Taylor. Everyone chuckled. Then suddenly fireworks burst into the sky. Everyone turned his or her attention to lighten sky.
Troy watched Gabriella as she watched the fireworks. She caught him looking at him. She smiled brightly at him and he kissed her.
This was the best night of his life.
