Flashback

"Troy can I ask you a question?" 17 year-old Gabriella Montez asked her boyfriend of 2 years Troy Bolton.

He turned a looked at her. "Yeah, sure"

The two were laying in his backyard simply looking at the stars. Gabriella loved to do it and Troy never turned her down.

"Do you think we'll still be together after graduation and stuff?" she asked, while scooting between his legs.

"Yes we will. Wanna know why?"

"Why?"

"Cause were going to be together forever and ever!" he said kissing the back of her head.

She giggled and turned to him "You're so chessy!"

He chucked and kissed her softly. "I love you" he whispered. "Mmm I love you too!"

End Flashback.

"Mommy!" Gabriella snapped out of her thoughts as she heard her 3 year-old daughter Kayla scream at the the top of her lungs.
She sighed loudly and ran into the little girls room.

"What Kay?" she asked.

"My bockies fall." Kayla whimpered, being on the brink of tears.

Gabriella laughed lightly and sat next to her. "Dont cry baby. We'll fix them." she said pulling her into her lap.

3 years ago Gabriella never would've thought that at 20 she'd be a single mom to a daughter. She imagined attending college, going to parties all the time and doing normal young adult stuff, but that wasn't the case and she was fine with that. Her life was secure at the moment. She lived in a small two bedroom apartment with Kayla just outside of Albuquerque and worked as a dentist assistant.

You're probably wondering who's Kayla's dad? Well that spot belongs to Troy Bolton. He's attending UCLA with a basketball scholarship. Along with friends Chad, Taylor, Zeke & Sharpay. Ryan, Kelsi and Jason went to Arizona State University. None of them knew about Kayla. Gabriella decided not to tell them while not wanting to worry them. Troy was a different story though. She didn't tell him from being afraid of what he might say and the one time when she was going to tell him he came out holding his acceptence paper to UCLA. He had been estatic. It was his dream. She didnt want to ruin that so she broke up with him. She regreted it then and she still does now at times.

Kayla was amazing though. She reminded Gabriella of Troy more and more each day. She was energetic, sweet and she always kept people on their toes. She looked just like him with her light brown curly hair and piercing blue eyes. At times Gabriella would imagine what life would be like if she would've told Troy. Would he have stayed? Left? Would he be here right now building blocks with them? For now who knows.

"Mommy look!" Kayla squealed pointing to the small building the two made. "Aw that looks very nice sweetie." Gabriella smiled.

"Hello?" Kayla screamed in delight as she heard her Grandma's voice. "Gran!" She ran out of the room and to the living room.

"Hey Mija!" Ana said picking the small girl. She definitely inheirited Gabriella's petite figure.

"Hi Mom" Gabriella said sitting on the L-shaped couch that corned the living room.

"Hey Gabs. How are you and this little one this fine Saturday morning?" Ana asked sticking her tongue out at Kayla, making her giggle.

"Good we just finished building blocks. Didn't we Kay?" Kayla nodded her head enthusiastically.

Ana laughed at set the little girl in her mom's lap. "That sounds fun. Now I have to go. A friend and I are going to the casino today. Now I brought over some grocies for you Gabs, you owe me. Bye!"

Gabriella laughed. "Bye!"

Bye Gran!" Kayla exclaimed. Ana waved and walked out.

Kayla turned to Gabriella with her big puppy eyes. "I is hungry." she said sofly.

"What do you want then?"

"Fruiy Pwebbles!"

Gabriella chuckled. "Oh, I suppose."

"God dammit Chad! Pass the ball!" Zeke yelled.

Just when Chad threw the ball Troy caught it and threw it into the hoop.

He smiled and lifted his arms into the air. "I am the champ, once again! You guys had 2 people on your team and I still won!"

Zeke and Chad rolled their eyes. "Screw you!" Zeke said.

Troy laughed. "Hey dont be mad at me, hate the game."

The two rolled their eyes once again. "I'd rather do the opposite!" Chad spat.

Chad and walked over to their girlfriends who were sitting on the bench and sat next to them. "I'm sorry baby." Taylor cooed."It's ok. You can make me feel better tonight." Chad winked. Taylor rolled her eyes and pushed him away.

Sharpay turned to Troy, who had a disgusted look on his face as he thought of what Chad meant. "Are you coming with us back to Albuquerque for the holidays?" she asked him.

"Uh I dont know" he shrugged.

"Well wether or not you like it you are coming. We bought you a plane ticket." she said simply. "So Zekey-Bear good game!" She changed the subject quickly.

Troy looked at her bewildered. "What?"

She groaned. "Us four thought it'd be nice if you came with us. I mean you haven't seen your parent's in like 2 years."

"You guy's didnt even ask me so am I being forced into this or something?" They all nodded. "Whatever." he muttered.

"Come on Troy! You'll get to see your parents, Jason, Kelsi, Ryan and maybe even an old girlfriend." Chad covered his mouth quickly relizing what he said.

They all knew he was touchy when it came to Gabriella. "Shut up!" Troy muttered. They also all knew about the brutal break-up between the two and how much he hurt afterwards.

Flashback

"Troy can I um talk to you?" Gabriella asked fiddiling with her fingers.

"Be right back guys!" Troy said waving off the basketball game. He wrapped his arm around a nervous looking Gabriella. "So what's up?" he asked as they sat down on the bleachers.

"You uh now that I love you right?" she stuttered.

He nodded and pulled her hands into his. "Well that's why I have to break-up with you." she whispered.

He gave her a confused look. "What?"

"I...I'm breaking up with you." She whispered. She didn't want to be this straight forward with him but it's the only way she'd be able to break it to him without not following through.

"Why?" he asked loudly. Anger was building up inside of him quickly.

"Something suprising came up Troy and I don't want you to have to deal with it. I mean you're going to UCLA and all." she cried.

He pushed her hands away from his roughly."You're going to UCLA too so what's the deal?"

"I deferred my enrollment, so I don't think I'm gonna go anymore."

Sadness and anger flashed through his eyes. "I gotta go." he muttered walking away.

Tears flowed down her face as she cried softly into her hands. Did she make the right choice?

End Flashback

That was the last time anyone had heard from Gabriella. Her friends, well old friends in this case had no clue. All they knew is that she broke up with Troy. She stopped talking to them and everything. They were sad, yet angry for not knowing why she stopped talking to them. She brought spark to everything. She was fun, always up for a challenge and was one of the sweetest people ever. Did they do something wrong? Those questions were never answered.

"So um is anyone up for some pizza?" Zeke asked breaking the awkward silence.

"Uh yeah that sounds like fun. Let's go" Sharpay said grabbing Zeke's hand and waving the other three to come on.
