A/N : Thanks for reading my story, and I really hope you enjoy it. Please note of the Rent mentions lol..

Kelsi looked at her watch again and than took a sip of her watered down punch and vaguely attempted to keep up with the conversation that was swirling around her. It was maybe 5 years since the group had graduated. Yet it seemed that many people decided that a little reunion was in order. So most of the graduated class of 2007 stood around in a tacky decorated gym, sipping watered down punch, reliving High School, the glory years. Kelsi didn't care, all she cared about was if Gabriella was going to show like Gabriella said she would three nights ago

The gang had looked so grown up as they stood in the lightly lighten gym , they were all almost ready to graduate University and move on, to jobs, marriage and start families. Jason and Kelsi had ready gotten engaged, Jason was now working as a banker, and Kelsi was finishing off music school, destined to be a band teacher. Troy was East High School's newest gym teacher, while Sharpay aloft, finally settling on being Ms. Darbus's assistant. Chad was following Troy as the assistant coach, and Taylor was just about to go into resident as an intern at New Mexico Hope Hospital.

Everyone was excited about the reunion but nobody would mention the dark side that would mark it. A lot of people were going just to see something that they've waited for since it happened. It happened at Sharpay and Ryan's graduation house party which happened graduation high. The party was slamming, loads of music, food, drink and people had packed the mansion. Gabriella and Troy had a fight, since Gabriella was going away to Harvard and Troy was staying at UCONN. Troy was unhappy with Gabriella's decision and the two had been going through a rough patch for about a month. That night, Gabriella had separated herself away from Troy to give him time after their last fight. Unfortunately, as Gabriella had walked into a room, she was caught off guard by Troy and Sharpay in a very awkward position. The next morning, Gabriella had dropped out of Harvard, and took off for New York. It was such a dramatic moment, and Gabriella's friends, family and especially mother worried but her mother understood. Gabriella's heart was broken but the twist to this tale is unbelievable.

Gabriella had been in New York for maybe a week, and had found a job making coffee at Starbucks. One day, in the hot sun, she was singing a few bars from Rent when she was stopped by a man. The man had praised her on her voice and looks, he gave his card and left her dumbstruck. The man was the casting agent from Rent and was looking for a new cast member, and Gabriella was it. That moment truly changed her life, Gabriella had gone from Rent, to Wicked, and than finally Hairspray. After her run with Hairspray, Gabriella moved onto recording a cd, which now in the present, it was just being released and the reviews were very in favor of it.

Jason surprised Kelsi with tickets to Rent, she'd been dying to see the play since they saw the movie way back in 2005. Right there, center stage, dressed in leopard print and blue plastic pants was Gabriella who burst out onto the stage as Mimi, and rocked the house. She had the crowd on their feet when the curtain closed. Kelsi waited by the stage door with Jason in toe, and when Gabriella walked out the door, they had their own little reunion. Which ended up to be three days of the three being together . It was sad, the day Kelsi and Jason stood at the airport, Gabriella and Kelsi both started to cry and hug when their boarding was called. After long goodbyes and after the couple boarded the plane, Jason and Kelsi made a pact to never mention where Gabriella was. It was so much better that way, she was finally happy.
