"TWOY!" A 5-year-old Gabriella called out. "TWOY!"

"What Gabwiella?" Troy asked.
"C'mon I don't wanna bwe late for schwool!"
"I want to go soon, lets get our parwents!"
Troy and Gabriella ran from the front yard to inside the Bolton's house.
"Mom, Dad, lets gwo!" Troy yelled, tugging on his mom's arm.
"Hold on Troy, school starts in 20 minutes and it only takes 5 minutes to get there." Lucille said.
"Mom! I want to go to kndergwarten now!" Gabriella said, also tugging on her mom's arm.
The 2 moms were having a conversation about work and the little ones going to kindergarten. They both looked at eachother and rolled their eyes, knowing that they weren't going to get out of this that easily, 5 year olds can persuade you by yelling.
"MOM!" Troy and Gabriella screamed at their parents.
"Ok, shhhhh, inside voices." Lucille replied.
"Sowy." They both replied.
"Maria, lets go in my car. These two just cannot wait." Lucille said.
"Ok, now Gabriella and Troy, get into the car please." Maria told them.
The two ran outside to get into the car as fast as they could, waiting for their first day of school.

'Ring. Ring.' The phone of the Montez household went off. Gabriella went to go pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Gabbi, it's Sharpay, im having my birthday party today, wanna come?"
"Sure, let me ask my mom, hold on."
Gabriella put the phone down on the counter and went upstairs to ask her mom. She found her mom in her room, watching t.v.
"Mom, can I go to Shapay's birthday party today?"
"Yes Mija, let me get ready and I'll bring you over."
"Yay! Thanks mom."
Gabriella ran back downstairs, excited. She picked up the phone, she couldn't wait to tell Sharpay that her mom said yes.
"My mom said yes!"
"Ok, come anytime you want, and bring a present! Oh and tell Troy and Taylor they can come too."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye."
They were all neighbors. Gabriella's house was in the middle of them. Troy's house was on the right, and Taylor's was on the left. Across from Taylor's was Kelsi's house. The other house next to Troy's was Chad. A few houses down from Kelsi was Sharpay and Ryan's house and across from them was Zeke. Across from Chad's house was Jason. They all met in kindergarten and were friends from the start.
"Mom, im going outside to talk to Troy and Taylor!" Gabriella called, walking out the door.
She saw that Taylor and Troy were talking in front of Taylor's house and ran over to them.
"Hi!"
"Hi."
"Hey."
"Sharpay invited us to her birthday party." Gabriella said.
"Cool, so we can come?" Troy asked.
"Yep."
"Let's go ask our parents." Taylor said.
The 3 of them went to Taylor and Troy's house asking their parents.

"Mija." Maria called her daughter from the kitchen.
"Yes ma." Gabriella said, walking into the kitchen. Today was the last day of 7th grade and she wanted to get to school as fast as she could.
"Were moving today." Her mom said.
"WHAT!"
"I said were moving, I will pack up all of your stuff while you are at school, we are moving to California."
"WHAT! WE CAN'T MOVE, I CAN'T LEAVE ALL OF MY FRIENDS!"
"My job tranfered me cause I got a promotion."
"AHHH!" Gabriella screamed, running out of the door.
Gabriella was walking to school, since she lived a few blocks away. When she entered the school, she ran up to all of her friends.
"Guys im moving today." She sobbed.
"What? You Can't leave us!"
"WHAT? Thats not true."
"Oh, no."
"You can't."
"We have to stay friends forever."
"I have to move guys, my mom's job." Gabriella said, getting hugs from all of her friends.
The day was spent, hugging, crying, and conforting. The friends had grown close throughout the years and now they were being ripped apart.
"Wait, before you move we have to make one promise." Troy said.
All of the friends looked up at him, since they were walking home from school, all of their faces were down because of the news.
"What?" Gabriella asked.
"No matter what, we will always remember eachother, no matter what we go through. So that if you do move back, we will know who eachother is."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
"I will always remember you guys."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
"I Promise."
She got one last picture of the 9 friends together at their current age before she left for California.
Her mom had packed, and got everything into the moving van, she was leaving.
She left with the memories, that all of the pictures of what they had together, that picture and that promise ringing inside her head, hoping that one day she would see her friends again...
