"YOU TWO ARE GOING OUT!" Sharpay said smiling jumping on the pool raft at Troy's house.

"How many times must we go over this? Yes we are!" Gabby said lying back down on her floatie.

"Oh my oh my! I can't believe it! You guys are cute together!" Sharpay said squealing swimming up to Troy.

"Whoa, Shar relax!" Troy said while Sharpay was jumping on his back. Gabby smirks and looks over to them.

"Hey, he's my boyfriend so back off!" She said with a giggle. Sharpay jumps off his back watching him walk up to the raft.

"Miss Montez, are you implying that I would cheat on you?"

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." She leans into his face staring into his blue eyes as he smirks flipping her off her raft. Stunned and shocked, Gabby shoots up laughing at him.

"Troy Alexander Bolton!" She said while splashing him. He splashes back laughing with her.

"It's on now!" He said grabbing her by the waist and lifting her up in the air. She gave up as she was released back into the warm water smiling and thinking how great this is. She quickly jumps on his back and holding onto him for dear life. He chuckles and walks around the pool with him on her back enjoying the time of their life with each other.

"Yeah, you guys are deffinatly cute together." Shar said before going under.

"I guess we are." Troy smiled turning his head to her cheek kissing it quickly before swimming again with her on his back.

Sharpay left the two alone at his house causing a little bit of boredm in the night. She smiles as he grabs her handing walking through the house and stopping at a door which she asumed was his room.

"And this is my room." He smirks showing Gabby his most prized possession: His lovely room. She sat on his bed looking around the blue painted walls, the black bed spread, and his computer desk in the corner. There was basketball and hockey allover his walls and see even notices a toy chest. She jumps off of his bed running to the chest and opening it.

"Oh my god!" She smiles digging through his toy chest pulling out Buzz Lightyear. "Buzz Lightyear!" She smiles pressing his button and putting him down, proceeding to grab many other toys.

"Why are you so amused in my toys?"

"Because I've always wanted these toys. My dad bought me Barbies and Bratz but I've always wanted to play with these toys!" She grabs a Rescue Hero action toy and plays with it. Soon enough, Troy joins in grabbing all of the toys throwing them all across the room. She smiles laughing and sets up and army of little red monkeys. Gabby smiles and thinks about the past.

"Nuh-uh! Unfair Chad!" Troy said making the arguement go longer. Sharpay and Gabby were sitting on the floor bored and about to fall asleep.

"Yeah it is liar pants!" Gabby woke up quickly looking around.

"Hey! Are you two still fighting about the toys? It's getting kind of annoying already!" Gabby threw her hands on her hips and smiled having both of them stop.

"I guess." They said shrugging it off and looking at her.

Finally after having all the toys scattered around the floor, Troy and Gabby were lying on their stomachs having grapes, cheese and crackers, and juice boxes. Gabby sighs and looks around giggling to herself.

"This is actually quite funny. We're 17 and still acting like 5-year-olds." Troy smiled putting a grape into her mouth.

"I love being 5! I actally miss it because all I ever wanted to be was like 30 or something." He chuckles shaking his head. "I had no hopes."

"Well, unlike you I have high hopes of things."Gabby finished giggling.

"Well then I-" There was a knock on his door.

"Hey Troy." Troy shot up staring at the man who raised him, standing there in his doorway. Troy dropped his toy and ran over to his dad squeezing him tight.

"Dad." Troy was soaking this moment in holding onto him finally happy. It has been a good 6 years since he's last seen his dad. He pulls away looking at all the toys scattered around including Gabriella.

"Well, I would have thought you would have grown up by now. It's nice to see your still friends with Gabriella." He said happily. She smiles looking confused at the same time.

"You remember me too? I don't even remember you at all. I'm very sorry." She said politely getting up to shake his hand.

"Call me Jack sweetie." He grinned looking at her then to Troy.

"Um actually dad. I just caught up with Gabby this year." Jack looked at them shocked.

"How?"

"Jason kicked a soccer ball into her house and well, we met from there." Troy said smiling pulling her in close. She smiles and looks at Lucielle waving at her to come downstairs.

"If you will excuse me." She said before running downstairs smiling at her. "Hey Lucielle. What's up?"

"Jack's finally home! What do I do? It's been six years?" Gabby's jaw dropped looking at her. She quickly returns to her normal posture smiling a little smile to herself.

"I would kill for this. I mean, I hope my mom went away and came back. But she didn't." Gabby looked down picking at her fingers thinking about how much of a downer shes being. "I mean, I'm not trying to bring anyone down but-"

"Not a problem sweetie." She smiles warmly making Gabby want to cry. She looks over to Troy and his dad talking and being normal and natural the way a family should be.

"I wish my house was like this." She looks at Lucielle who's chopping up a salad.

"You know you are always welcome here in this household; you're like a daughter to me. I remember when you were just a tot. You were so adorable and so ambitious to do whatever you wanted." The boys ran downstairs running to the video games.

"I'm going to kick your ass!" Jack shouted at Troy.

"Okay Grandpa, let's see how you can play." Troy taunted back. They both plopped down on the gaming chairs and began to start their video games.

"If you want, I could leave since tonight is special?" Gabby asked getting up.

"With what ride darling? And it's night time!" Lucielle followed her.

"I can walk, no problem." Gabby slipped her coat on. Lucielle stopped her.

"No, Jason is always out by Chad's down the street around this time. I don't want him to hurt you or anything." Gabby sighed and looked at the guys playing video games.

"I'll be fine. Hey, if he's at Chad's, then I'm sure Chad will let nothing happen to me." She smiles giving Lucielle a hug before leaving. "I'll call you when I get home."

"Alright sweetie be careful." She walks out the front door and begins to walk down the street. All alone at night.

"Troy, Gabby left." Lucielle said 3 minutes later. He quickly stopped playing.

"WHAT! Alone! Walking?" He jumps off the couch and runs to the she passed one house, she quickly sees Jason standing there playing darts with Chad in the backyard. Gabby quickly looked away beginning to walk faster. Troy began to run faster trying to locate her knowing Jason was there.

"GABRIELLA!" Gabby began to run faster as Jason hopped the fence chasing her. As Jason got closer, he grabbed her by the waist and held her. Gabby struggled elbowing him in the groin and falling ontop of him. She got up and he followed her same moves. Troy finally got a glimpse of Gabby and stopped in his tracks seeing them circle each other.

"So Gabby, why did you leave in such a hurry a week ago?" Gabby noticed the bruise on his cheek from when Troy hit him.

"You were such a pervert! You ran your hand up my shirt doing god knows what. Get the fuck away from me." She said loud enough for Troy to hear. He began to walk a bit closer incase he did anything again. This time she is his girl and he can't touch anything about her or Troy will take some serious action.

"Come on, you liked it!" He got closer into her face. This time Chad was apart of it too getting a bit closer.

"You know what I'm going to like?" She leaned into his face.

"What are you doing?" Troy said quitely to himself getting more and more closer feeling heartbroken. She quickly pulled back and punched him square in the nose.

"Next time you touch me, I will hit you even harder!" She yelled at him while he just stood there pinching his nose and stopping the blood from falling.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked laughing with Chad walking behind her.

"You bitch!" Jason shouted. Gabby smiles looking at him.

"Thank you." Gabby smiled and looked at the guys.

"Dude, I love your girlfriend." Chad said.

"Me too. Wanna come back to the house you two?" They both nodded their heads beginning to walk back to their house.

"YOU WHAT!" Lucielle shouted.

"I punched Jason. He practically jumped over the fence and attacked me. He grabbed me by the waist and yeah, attacked me." She said helping Lucielle set the table.

"It was awesome! He was bleeding!" Chad said laughing. Gabby smiled and looked at him.

"I guess it was." Jack looked at her and smiled.

"So you're dating Troy?"

"Yeah, we just started going out."

"Well thats amazing. You know, I never knew Jason was such a jerk." Gabby rolled her eyes and sigh.

"Me either." She smiles looking at this guy who was Troys dad. She smiles and notices his smile remembering him and soon enough remembering Lucielle. They still looked the same when she last saw them at her mother's awake."Oh my god.I remember you guys now." They all had smiles on their faces bonding like a family that should have been together.

"You don't understand what it's like to not have your father around your whole life!" Troy said yelling at her then kicking over his chair. Gabby was raged.

"Actually I do understand because I've never had my mother around my whole life! Oh and don't get me started with fathers. At least your dad loves you and doesn't have people abuse you for him!" She slams his door shut reclining against it sighing paranoid.
