This is the end. I'm sorry to see it go! But I do have one question for you down at the end. Didn't I tell you it was going to be a Troyella ending?

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

CHAPTER TWELVE

It was noon. The sun was beating down hard, but Troy and Gabriella didn't mind.

"Trevor!" Gabriella yelled.

Trevor turned around and saw Gabriella and Troy motioning for him to come over.

"Dude," Troy yelled, "Come here. We wanna see you."

Trevor got up and walked over. He noticed their suitcases lying beside them. "You guys heading back?"

"Yeah, but we can't leave without saying good-bye," Troy answered.

"Trevor, here's my email address. Remember you promised that you said that you'd still be my friend," Gabriella said, handing him a piece of paper.

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Oh yeah, tell everybody back home that I miss them. I honestly do."

"I will."

Troy looked over his shoulder and noticed that everybody was boarding the bus. "Gabi, I'm heading over to the bus. Hurry up." He picked up both their suitcases and rushed over.

"Well, Trevor. I guess this is good-bye," Gabriella said, giving him a hug.

"Bye, Gabs."

Gabriella started to walk away when Trevor grabbed her arm and pulled her in for a kiss.

Gabriella was ready for it though. Before his lips could touch her, she slapped him across the cheek. "Trevor," she said, scolding.

"I'm sorry." Trevor answered rubbing the back of his neck. "I don't know what came over me."

Gabriella kissed him on the cheek. "Don't let it happen again or I'll slap you harder." She walked away.

"Bye, Gabs!" he yelled before she got too far.

"That's Gabriella to you!" she yelled back.

Trevor smiled. "What a summer this has been. And it's only the first week."

Just then, someone came up to him. "Hi, my name is Christine."

"Hi Christine. I'm Trevor," he said, shaking her hand.

"This is going to be the best summer ever."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Gabi," Troy said as she was approaching the bus, "you almost missed it."

"I'm sorry Troy, but Trevor tried it again."

"He didn't!"

"Yeah, but I slapped him," she said, giggling.

"Well, I hope you don't slap me if I tried to do this." Troy pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

"No, I wouldn't."

The bus driver honked the horn. Gabriella and Troy pulled apart.

"Come on, let's go home," Troy said, putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah, you're right."

They walked on together. Everybody was glaring at them for a second, but they softened their hearts when they saw how happy they looked.

As they took their seats, Gabriella snuggled up next to Troy.

Troy kissed her on the top of her head.

Gabriella looked up. "Troy, you missed."

Troy chuckled at her remark. "Well, I'm sorry. I know I won't this time." Troy kissed her softly on the lips.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The bus arrived at Albuquerque just in time for dinner.

"Gabi, wanna drop your stuff off at my house and head to the diner?" Troy asked.

"Sure."

They quickly dumped their things next to the front door and ran to go to the diner.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Taylor sat at the table with Chad, Ryan, Sharpay, Kelsi, and Zeke. "I wonder Gabi and Troy are doing."

They're probably having the time of their lives," Chad answered.

They all sighed, waiting for the food to arrive to the table.

As the bell rang when the door opened, Taylor's head shot up.

The happy couple walked into the diner.

"Look!' Taylor said, pointing to Troy and Gabriella, "They're back."

Everyone turned their heads toward Troy and Gabriella.

From across the room, Gabriella heard Taylor's cry. "Come on, let's go eat with them."

" 'Kay."

Troy and Gabriella took a seat together at the end of the table. Everyone was staring at them.

"Hey Troy," Zeke said.

"Hi Gabriella," Kelsi politely said.

"How've you been?" Ryan asked.

Troy and Gabriella were all flooded with questions from everyone but Sharpay, who was thinking.

As the food arrived at the table, Troy and Gabriella took their orders.

Sharpay finally said something as the waitress went to fill their orders.

"Why are you guys back so soon? It's only been a week."

The rest of them, minus Troy and Gabriella, all wondered the same question.

Gabriella and Troy looked at each other and smiled. They silently had a private conservation with each other.

"Come on! We wanna know!" Sharpay said impatiently.

"Well…" they said together.

"That's a long story," Gabriella said as the food arrived at the table.

"We want to know," Ryan said.

"Well, as we arrived at the country club…"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Should I make a sequel to this where Troy asks Gabriella to marry him? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this story, I know I enjoyed writing it.
With much love,
