-Chapter 31: The Start of Something New-

(December 31, 2008-New Year's Eve)

"You look beautiful Lucille!" Inez told Lucille. And she was right Lucille did look beautiful in her floor length dark purple belted maxi dress from Charlotte Russe, a pair of purple satin rhinestone stilettos from Charlotte Russe, her hair was pulled into an elegant bun, around her neck was a black pendant necklace that matched her earrings and bracelet, her make up was lightly done, around her arms was a black wrap that matched her black satin clutch.

"Thanks, Inez so do you!" Lucille said as she looked at Inez who was dressed in a beautiful black floor length jeweled maxi dress, the same pair of rhinestone black satin high heels, her hair was down in her natural waves, her make up was lightly done, around her neck was a pearl necklace that matched her earrings and bracelet, and around her arms was a white wrap that matched her white satin clutch.

"Thanks, so are you ready to go round up our kids and husbands from the basketball court?" Inez replied.

"Yep, let's go," Lucille said before they headed out of hers and Jack's suite and down to the basketball inside court.


"Wow! Awesome shot baby girl!" Greg told his daughter as they high fived each other after she made a half court shot after breaking free of Troy's defense.

"Thanks daddy!" Gabriella said as she went back up to check the ball with Troy.

"Your going down Montez!" Troy said in a playful voice as they checked the ball.

"If I'm correct Bolton which I am the scores 0-14, so there is no way your going to win!" Gabriella said as she started playing hard core defense against her boyfriend.

"Guys come on!" Inez said as she walked into the court area with Lucille.

"What?" All four of them asked as they stopped their game to ask them.

"Remember the party!" Lucille told them as her and Inez both did a spin.

"Oh right!" The four on the court replied.

"One more!" Troy said before he went back to playing with the other three as the two older women watched and then smirked as Gabriella stuffed Troy before taking it back up at the top of the key and shooting a half court shot.

"Now, that's the way to end it!" Jack said even though he and Troy lost.

"Alright, now come on! Troy, Gabriella's there's a teen party downstairs just like last year! Now go! Shower up!" Lucille told them as she and Inez laughed as the floor floored it and ran out of the gym, doing as they were told.

"Those four I swear!" Inez said as she and Lucille shook their heads and walked out of the gym.


(Teens Party)

Troy smiled and walked inside the party downstairs and waited for Gabriella as he was told to. He was dressed in a pair of dark wash HCO blue jeans, a pair of black VANS, and a navy HCO polo.

"Hey cutie, you wanna be my date tonight?" Came a voice from behind Troy.

Troy spun and smiled at the girl in front of him that was dressed in a beautiful red ruched drape dress from Charlotte Russe, a pair of red satin high heels, a T necklace around her neck, a pair of ruby earrings in her ears that matched her bracelet, a red wrap around her arms that matched her clutch, her make up was done beautifully and naturally, and her hair was up in a French Twist.

"Sure thing," Troy said before he placed a passionate kiss on her lips as they wrapped their arms around each other. Pulling back and leaning his forehead against hers, Troy said, "You look beautiful, Gabriella."

"Aw! Thanks Troy, you look hot!" Gabriella said with a smile before she kissed him again.

As they were kissing a spotlight landed on them as the MC on the stage, the same one as last year, exclaimed, "Well, looky who we have here! A couple of lovebirds! Hey, their the ones that song karaoke together last year! How about a replay?"

Smiling Troy and Gabriella nodded their head and headed up to the stage and got ready to sing after they thanked the MC for setting them up to sing together last year.

The MC just smiled and put on the same song as last year causing Troy and Gabriella to smile and both wanting to give the same performance as last year.

As the first opening tunes on the song could be heard, Troy and Gabriella didn't notice their parents coming in and waiting to hear them sing.

Troy:

Livin' in my own world

Didn't understand,

That anything can happen,

When you take a chance.

Gabriella:

I never believed in,

What I couldn't see.

I never opened my heart, to all the possibilities.

Both:

I know, that something has changed.

Never felt this way, & right here tonight

This could be the start of something new, it feels so right to be here with you, ohh.

And now lookin' in your eyes, I feel in my heart, the start of something new. Ohh.

Troy:

Now who would of ever thought that, we'd both be here tonight.

Gabriella:

And the world looks so much brighter (brighter, brighter), with you by my side!

Both:

I know that something has changed,

Never felt this way.

I know if we're real,

This could be the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you, ooh.

And now lookin' in your eyes I feel in my heart, the start of something new.

Troy:

I never knew that it could happen until it happened to me! Ohh!

Both:

I didn't know it before, but now its easy to see!

Its the start of something new,

It feels so right to be here with you, ohh.

And now lookin' in your eyes I feel in my heart....

That its the start of something new, it feels so right to be here with you, ohh.

And now lookin' in your eyes, I feel in my heart, the start of something new!

At the end of the song as the last number countdown for the New Year came out of everyone's mouth along with 'Happy New Year!', Troy and Gabriella passionately kissed each other.
