So hope you enjoy the chapter. Once again review. Don't just favorite it! Thanks guys! Review...(Lol I think I said that already)

Chapter 12

After her date with Ryan-

"Thanks for the ride Ryan. Love you! See you when I get home..." she said shutting the car door and getting out of the car. Gabriella was happy as a clown. The date was perfect.

It was a picnic in their own backyard with rose petals on the blanket, delicious food, music, and even dancing. It was casual but still romantic.

"Of course babe. Have a great time kicking that Tyler kid's butte at basketball." he chuckled, already knowing his fiance's talents with basketball.

"Yeah..." she giggled.

"Yeah, right, like she's gonna beat me again." Tyler strolled by holding a basketball in between in arm and his right of his body.

"Oh I so am!" she laughed, flashbacks flowing through her mind. Of her and Troy playing basketball, and him teaching her the rule and how to play.

"Bye sweetie! Love you!" Ryan said, "Oh and it's nice to meet you Tyler! Well...kind of. I'm Ryan." he said as he smiled at Tyler.

"Yeah, I know. Gabi told me." he smiled, as he shook Ryan's hand. 'He's nothing compared to Troy. Ugh...and he's such a goody-good. And a prep. Yuck' Ryan thought.

"Yeah, nice meeting you." he nodded, "Anyway, I must be off. I have wedding details to look at." he chuckled and Gabriella nodded.

"It was a pleasure. See you. Bye hun." he said as he drove off and left.

"Man, he's a keeper." Tyler said sarcastically.

"Shut it. He's sweet." she smiled, then turned around at the house she used to practically see and sleep at for a while of her life. Her smile faded. All the memories she had hear were terrific, but all of them lead to Troy.

"GABIIIIIII!" a familiar girl-ish voice screamed as the front door slammed.

"KAYLA!" Gabriella screamed as they ran to each other and hugged each other tightly. Gabriella and Kayla were as close as 2 girls could be. They were like sisters.

They hugged for a few more moments than finally stopped, "So how are you Kay?" Gabriella asked, looking at her friend that she hadn't seen in so many years.

"Fantastic. I missed you!" she smiled and hugged her once again, tightly.

"Aw...I missed you too." Gabriella smiled, and then once again heard the door open and shut.

"GABI!" a familiar, more grown up, boyish tone said.

"CHAD!" Gabriella smiled and she was picked up, twirled around and she giggled uncontrollably.

"Damn girl you are smokin' these days!" Chad laughed giving a Gabriella a twirl so he could get a look at his friend he hadn't seen in so long.

"Uh...thanks?" she laughed.

Chad was like her older brother, and he watched out for her. He was a great guy, and a great friend.

"Ahh! It's like reunion day for all!" Tyler laughed and Chad and Gabriella pulled him in for a group hug.

After 2 minutes of hugging-

"Soo, you wanna come in? I bet my parents are DYING to see you again." Kayla laughed and Gabriella nodded.

"Sure, I miss Amy and Jack." Gabriella shrugged and she walked up, not exactly excited to see Troy. If he was there, she wasn't sure.

She walked up the driveway with the others and they opened the front door. "Entering. Gabriella Montez!" Chad announced and Gabriella hit him playfully.

"Hey! I just thought you needed a proper introduction!" Chad said offended that she hit him.

"Yeah, well shut up!' she joked as she walked in and smelt cookies. Amy's specialty.

"Mmm...I smell the delicious cookies I haven't had in years!" Chad said, getting hungry.

"Mmmmmmm." Gabriella said, closing her eyes,remember all the times she would have those and share them with Troy.

"Gabi! Oh what a pleasure surprise. What brings you here back to the Boltons' residence?" Amy said, not having a clue on why Gabriella was there in the first place. Were Troy and Gabriella back together? Amy wondered. No...not possible. she thought to herself. Well...I wish. She thought then looking at Gabriella. She was so grown up and sophisticated now. She was still beautiful as ever.

"Oh, your son here..." she said shoving Tyler, "Invited me to play basketball. I hope I didn't intrude on anything." she said, forgetting all the times where Amy would insist she came over in the first place.

"No! Of course not. Gabriella you are always welcome to come to come by any time. Even just to say hi." Amy stated, "Jack would agree, but he's out doing some shopping for dinner. Would you like to stay for dinner too?" she asked.

"Uhm, sure. I'd love to." she said as she smiled. It was just like old times.

"Oh, and I have your favorite. My chocolate chip cookies." she smiled and Gabriella smiled and they all raced to the kitchen to get a few and munch down on them.

They all got 1 and Chad and Tyler went for seconds. "Now...save some for Troy and Jack and some after dinner." Amy said as Gabriella, Kayla, and Amy stared at them vacuuming up the cookies.

"Fine...sorry Mom." Tyler said as he chugged down a glass of milk, "Besides Troy will come down when he-" he was interrupted by Troy himself.

"Mmm do I smell cookies?" he said popping his head around the corner as everyone turned their head to look at him. He looked like a deer in a headlight, and he was using a "little kid" voice.

Kayla giggled, Chad shook his head in shame, Tyler chuckled, and Gabriella just looked away. She wasn't ready to re-live EVERYTHING that she had done back in the past.

Because in reality, everything wasn't the same as it was in the past. Things were different. Awkward.

Troy ran over and grabbed 2 cookies and gobbled them down then grabbed a glass of milk and drowned it. "Troy....ugh. Now I see where I get your eating habits from. Your role model." Gabriella said staring at Tyler.

"Yeah...I guess." he shrugged, not caring. He only cared for one thing at the moment. And that was Troy and Gabriella getting together, but first they needed to acknowledge each other or else his plan wouldn't work.

"Oh. Hey Gabriella." Troy's eyes twinkled and he gave a crooked smile excited to see Gabriella.

"Hi. Troy." she said giving him a small smile, then looked away. It was definitely different.

Gabriella's smile slowly faded. She secretly did wish she was still Troy's. Not anyone else's. Troy's. His. But she wasn't. She however did love Ryan...but it was a different love. A different feeling and a different connection. As well as a different feel to the relationships. Gabriella missed all the nicknames, all the teasing, him being possessive,...everything. Everything was different though. Gabriella missed him calling her babe, Ella, My Ella...

Everything was quiet and different. Awkward. Why was everything so different? Why did he have to shatter and break my heart? Gabriella thought.

Hope you enjoy the update!
