Welcome
Welcome to High School wasn't meant to last forever!
A future HSM site, set 5 years AFTER the wildcats graduation. Everyone went to college and graduated and now they return to save thed school! What will happen? Help us to find out! :)
For the past couple of weeks, it's been hard for Troy. He wanted so desperately to be able to play basketball again for real but knowing his limitations with his knee, he couldn't. He didn't want to end up in the hospital. He had enough trips to the hospital when he busted his knee, and after the surgery he had to go back for therapy and check ups. Years later he's still going back to the hospital and getting checked up on to make sure that nothing is going wrong. Although he didn't think anything would go wrong with his knee because it was a pretty sturdy knee cap. Troy was grateful that he was getting better and better everyday and one day, just maybe, he'll be able to play basketball again. He can only hope.
Getting out of bed, Troy got dressed into his usual coach outfit. It was the one thing he liked about being a gym teacher. He didn't have to wear dress pants, a shirt and a tie. Messing up his hair and shaving, like always, he made his way down stairs. He fixed himself breakfast and he ate breakfast and then put his shoes on. He grabbed his keys, headed out to his car and drove to work. He liked East High. It brought him back to high school, the best years of his life. That was before anything ever happened that messed him and Gabriella up. He wanted to be able to turn back time and make it so he didn't screw things up between them.
Getting into the gym, Troy took out the volleyball nets and the volleyballs. They were playing volleyball today. He always changed things up because of the fact that he didn't want his students getting bored of the games they were playing. Troy checked his phone and sighed when he saw no message, call or text from Gabriella. Maybe things have changed and she changed her mind and went back with Drake. Those thoughts were shaken right from his head as soon as his class walked into the gym. Troy explained what they were doing and he split his class up into teams. The class went well and Troy was happy about that.
Pretty soon it was lunch time and that meant lunch time practice. Troy was in the gym with the basketball team. He was making them do suicides because someone from the team showed him pictures of them partying. "I don't except that sort of behavior! Yes you are in high school but you are setting an example for your classmates and kids younger then you! Don't even argue with me Singleton!" Troy yelled. James Singleton was the captain and he was about to argue with Troy and Troy doesn't tolerate that, "As your punishment I am making everyone do suicides until I feel that you have learned your lesson! Start!" Troy barked. Troy monitored the suicides.

(I'm Not A Princess) (This ain't a fairytale)
Gabriella was trying to catch up on all her work, that was left behind during her whole depression and making decisions phase... And boy was it a lot of it! Not only she had the school case, but she was now also required her immediate attention, on some other cases that she was working on at California as well, since she had left the office there with the promise and comitment that she would handle all her work with professionalism, as she did when she was there. OK there were a few small trips every now and then, back and forth to California from Albuqurque and back, since there were trials she had to attentd and meetings for several settlements. And of course something she was dreading since the day she broke up with Drake. She had to gather her personal belongings from the apartment they shared for the last two years. To say that it didn't hurt or that it was easy it would be a lie. Because no matter what, Drake has been more than perfect to her at all times, and she hurt him so badly... And then there was her mother who was driving her insane... Lecturing her for the whole thing and trying to find out the reason she and Drake broke up... Which got hectic since whenever she was at California she had to stay with her!
She had returned from her last trip there late the previous night so when she woke up it was a bit late, but she was supposed to meet with the principal of the school. They had some more paperwork to fill and discuss the next steps they were taking on the case... She had done some progress and hopefully it will turn the whole thing in their favor... Gabriella threw the covers off her and got up from her bed, heading to her bathroom to take a quick shower in order to wake up and then get dressed for her meeting. Ever since that night at Troy's house she was beyond confused from the way he acted... One moment he was kissing her and the other one was pulling back, one minute everything was alright and the next he would close up again. She didn't know what was going on or what she did to cause that. She was pretty clear on the way she felt towards him and she thought that it would change something, but she sure didn't expect this kind of reaction... Were they together again or not? The whole thing was just too confusing for her... So she decided to give him space to fianlly decide what he wanted!
Gabriella finished dressing up and got into her car to head for the school. When she got there, she parked the car on the parking lot and then got out heading to the administration area. After meeting with the principle and discussing what they needed to discuss they were required to have yet another tour of the school for some mebers of the local authorities, so after going around campus, to the auditorium, the laboratories, the several facilities they headed to the gym. Apparently it was the main attraction! The moment they walked in Gabriella heard yelling and she rolled her eyes. This sounded awfully familiar!
If there is one thing Troy hated, it was being like his dad. He hated yelling at his team and he hated punishing them but what they did was unacceptable. If you're going to a party make sure the pictures don't turn up on the internet. He didn't know how to get it through to their heads but this seemed like a good way. If there was one thing that athletes hated it was doing suicides and he knew that this was the only way to get it through their head.
Troy heard the door open and he saw the large group of people coming into the gym. Again? They have to ruin my practice Troy thought to himself. Troy blew the whistle, "Start running some drills! But first take a water break. 5 minutes that's it!" Troy yelled. He ran his hand through his hair and made his way over to the group, "Ladies and gentlemen," Troy said nodding at them all. Troy could faintly see Gabriella. He was going to talk to her after this. He needed to know if she wanted to go out with him for dinner and a movie tonight.

(I'm Not A Princess) (This ain't a fairytale)
Gabriella finished the meeting with the principle ad after explaining her action plan and the basic defense line she was going to follow on the case she followed the principle outside, at the entrance of the school where he was supposed to welcome the visitors. In her opinion the whole touring around the school was seriously stupid... They were LOCAL authorities for God's sake! They've been on East High before! Some of them attended the school! They knew it pretty well. This was just time consuming and really UN-necessary! When they walked into the gym she heard the shouting and the students running Oh! I didn't realized that you had practice! she heard the principle saying. Gabriella rolled her eyes. God what was she hearing and she still hadn't had a coffee yet! It was morning, school hours and classes were in process... It didn't take a genius to realize that yes indeed, they were at the gym, so naturally the students had wither a gym class or a basketball practice!
She stood patiently and heard the principle talking and going on and on, bragging about the gym and the team and all the championships the school won over the years... She heard all those things so many times before that it actually became boring! When the principle finally decided to leave the gym she sighed in relief. Instead of continuing this tour, which I'm sure that it's not that necessary since the visitors had definitely been here in the past, why don't you take them have beverages instead before we start the meeting to get them to help the school? she quickly suggested, whispering to the principle. She seriously couldn't take another tour around the school!
Troy heard what the principal said and he rolled his eyes. Of course the principal knew he had practice. Usually in the gym he either had a class or he was running basketball practice. Or he was running practice in gym class. "Yes sir. I needed to straighten them out so this is their punishment from me," Troy said. Troy knew that his dad would have done the same thing if he was still alive. Troy sighed as he began to think about his dad. Even a year later it was still hard to think about his dad without getting upset. Even though he and his dad faught, he was extremely close to him. His mom had told him that he was a splitting image of his father. She had told him that the day of his funeral. The hardest thing he ever had to do was go up to the casket and say good bye to his father before they went to the church for a mass. The next hardest thing to do was bury his mother in the ground.
Troy heard what the principal said and he heard what Gabriella said, "I think that's a great idea," Troy said to the principal. Troy turned to the team who had returned, "Practice is dismissed!" Troy yelled. Troy watched as they went towards the locker room and changed into their normal outfits before leaving the gym, thinking he would change his mind. "If you'll excuse me I'm just going to go clean up," Troy said before turning around and walking away. Troy began cleaning up the basketballs. He held the last one in his had looking at it longingly. He wanted so much to be able to play basketball again. He sighed and tossed the ball from one hand to the other.

Gabriella heard what Troy said about the punishment and she had to put a huge effort not to roll her eyes. Oh she knew of those punishments already! She was blamed for several of them when she was in high school! And she could also remember the reactions of one specific person who happened to be giving the punishments now! But she didn't say anything. She just bit her lower lip and stayed there in silence watching the whole conversation and the poor students running. She figured that there was probably one or more girls in the position she used to be in! And boy they must have been going through a lot! Judging from herself that was
Gabriella heard what Troy said to he principal and she nodded in agreement Well I guess you are indeed right miss Montez... Ladies and gentleman if you could please follow me! Gabriella watched them all turn around and start making their way outside and she sighed in relief before she followed them herself... She was already halfway through the principal's office when she realized that she had forgotten a file that she needed for her presentation. Gabriella groaned, before she turned around in search of the lost file... She returned to the gym in case it was there. She walked in and as she imagined she had left it there, for a brief second when the principal was talking to her and then she forgot to pick it up. She took it and was ready to make her way back, when she noticed that Troy was still in there and seemed skeptical as he played with a ball You usually throw that round thing you are holding... Or at least that's what I think? she commented arching an eyebrow What? The wildcats superstar is... afraid?
Troy heard the principal agree with Gabriella and he watched as they left. He saw his team leave shortly after. Troy sighed as he saw Gabriella no longer there. He was hoping that she would have stayed. He wanted so desperately to talk to her but he knew that she was busy. Troy looked around the empty gym. The gym used to be so full of life before his dad died. His dad was the coolest gym teacher/coach ever. Troy wanted to live up to his standards. He wanted to be just as cool as his dad. He knew he had a long way to go to reach that but he was willing to do it.
Troy tossed the ball back and forth between his hands. The last time he had been able to make a basket was the day before his knee injury, before his dad died. After his dad died, he hadn't had the will to make a basket. And after his mom died, for weeks he didn't step foot on a basketball court. Troy heard Gabriella's voice and he turned around. He looked at her, "Not afraid," Troy said, "I haven't made a basket in years. Ever since my injury and my dad died. When my mom died it took me weeks to actually get back on the court." Troy sighed. "So. Where have you been Brie? I was expecting a phone call or text. Just something. Did you decide to change your mind and go back to Drake?"

Gabriella heard what Troy said and she nodded. This must have been painful for him. To work every single day to the place his father worked and a place that he himself got worshiped by the whole school and not only!It must have been hard... And being at a place he basically adored but not being able to do what he used to... He's obviously been through a lot these past 5 years... Well understandable... But how can you know if you don't try...? she asked shrugging her shoulders And how can you expect to heal and get back on track in order to go back to your previous lifestyle if you don't put effort? she added
At what he said next she looked at him in disbelief for a while. before shaking her head. I was in California. I returned last night. I had some serious cases that needed to be taken care of at the office before I returned back here. And... I had to go pick up my stuff from the apartment... she said I didn't call or text because I thought you needed some space to think. You weren't that clear in what you want to do the last time we met... And no, things between me and Drake are over. I cheated, he would never accept me back... And even if he did... The facts are still facts. Despite what happens between you and me, if it happens, Drake is past she replied. She shook her head before she turned her back and started making her way to the door. She couldn't believe that he was asking if she went back to Drake! She was the one who was clear about what she wanted from the start, he was the one who was giving her all those mixed signals and signs and made her confused!
