Chapter 5: Class Rings and Goodbyes
Gabby sighed. The whole gang was at her house. They had just finished packing everything up. Lucy and Jack were going to take care of what was going to charity and such. The rest was going with Gabby to Inverness. She squatted on the floor to be at eye level with Gilligan. "Well, Gill, you ready for the three hour car ride?" She sighed, since when could a dog respond, she felt like she was losing her mind.
Soon her aunt and uncle pulled up with the moving van. They loaded everything up and it was time to go. As tears freely fell down the girls' faces they all hugged. "Pay, I really don't want to leave you." She sobbed.
"I don't want you to leave. It's funny Boo, I haven't known you that long, but I'm closer to you than anyone else." Gabby nodded her agreement and went to hug the guys, saving Troy for last.
"Hot Stuff, I'm gonna come visit you. And if any guys bother you I want you to call me and I'll come beat them up." He looked completely serious, when Gabby didn't respond he said, "Understand?" She giggled, hugged him and gave him a peck on the cheek. Chad really was hilarious.
"Oh Gem." Ryan sighed dramatically, "What will we do without you?"
Gabby giggled, "Somehow I think you'll live." She gave him a quick peck and looked at Zeke.
She ran into his arms and said, "I'm gonna miss you so much Zeke. Who am I going to bake with?" She smiled remembering their flour and sugar fight just a few weekends ago. G-d that seemed like ages ago.
"I don't know Baby Brie, but no flour and sugar fights without me. Is that clear?" Gabby laughed loudly and saluted.
Moving on to Jason she laughed as he said again, just as confused as the first time they told him, "Briella" he whined, "I don't understand why you have to leave." He carried out the last word in a way that annoyed everyone but Gabby, she thought it was precious.
"I told you Jase, it's not my decision to make. If it were I'd be going to Albuquerque with you." She hugged him and gave him a peck.
Gabby looked at Troy and began to sob hysterically as she ran into his arms. She didn't understand the effect that he had on her, but whatever it was, she loved it and couldn't stand the idea of leaving him. "I can't do it Troy, I can't leave you."
"It kills me too Ella, but we'll keep in touch."
"It's not the same as being together." She gently traced her fingertips down his perfect jaw line.
Troy moved his head so he could kiss her fingertips, which sent her shaking, he had that much of an effect on her. "Ella? Will you do something for me?"
"Anything baby." She whispered.
"Will you keep my ring?" He asked. She looked at him in the eyes and nodded. Then, to everyone's disbelief, Troy slipped his class ring off of his finger. The ring held a huge significance. It was only given to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Sharpay, Taylor, Kelsi, and Miley all wore the guys' rings, but they were the only girls in the grade that had this privilege. Troy slipped it on Gabby's finger and leaned down. His lips captured hers in a passionate kiss that shocked everyone. It was full of so much love that everyone could feel it.
Julie cleared her throat and said, "This is absolutely inappropriate. Gabriella, it's time to go, get in the car." Gabby and Troy pulled apart. She gave him one last quick hug and kiss before hugging Jack and Lucy, then she got in the car.
AN: Okay I know this was ridiculously short, but I'm typing the next chapter and it will be posted tonight. It just seemed like the right place to end this one, with goodbye, tear, tear. Anyways, I gotta go type another chapter. Oh, and tomorrow another chapter of L.A. Adventures should be out, so no worries about that!
