I mean if anyone has watched hsmtmts they say their characters are in counseling, so I can definitely see them hitting rough spots especially if their own career goals lead them down different paths in life. But I personally don't think they would stay together just that they had impacted each other well enough that they won't ever forget the other person.

[@Im_Julissa]

I love how Gabriella wasn't boy-crazy. She has dreams and priorities and didn't make her life all about a guy. Her biggest issue is something she mentioned throughout the film. She is "good at goodbyes," She has had experiences of letting go for most of her life so that's all she knows. Plus the absence of her father? Gabriella had supportive friends who rooted for her when she went to Stanford compared to Troy

The end of Lemonade Mouth is especially annoying because she doesn't get back with her ex in the book! She starts dating the drummer boy instead, which is so cute. The movie toned down/changed a lot of the inappropriate and more mature ideas from the book. Like how that guy was only dating her because he saw her as "exotic."

[@sagittariusbeauty]

I actually appreciated the ending of Lemonade Mouth. There’s too many instances where in movies/shows the “cute popular guy” is stereotyped as a jerk all throughout the movie, and the “nerd” or “loner” guy gets the “pretty girl”. It’s refreshing to see that the boyfriend wasn’t made out to be a bad guy, and still be with the girl, because that happens a lot in real life.

[@helleskye]

They give me showmance vibes. Like when they are singing and performing together they really get along, have great chemistry and feel connected to each other. The moment real life starts, it gets difficult for them because they don’t really know how to communicate with each other, especially when it comes to bigger life decisions. I do think Troy tries harder than Gabriella with the relationship - planning dates, doing romantic gestures, choosing a close college etc. but in the end G is obviously just not that invested in him. She loves singing with him, but she doesn’t love him.

[@xlene_]

i half agree! i think she loves him but she has very strict boundaries and doesn’t put him or their relationship above her wants. the 3rd movie solidified what kind of girl gabriella is! if it’s her or her relationship, she’ll pick herself every time! they had great chemistry on stage and i think she knew that and loved singing with him! it grew harder when it wasn’t just singing

[@Hanamanini]

@@xlene_ I would never want to be with someone who doesn’t put the relationship first / equal to other things. I personally treat my ambitions & relationships equally because I’m serious about both. I think if you’re so career / self fulfilling that you’d really always put your partner second then you’re not a very good choice for people who are “romantic/ family oriented”. Troy was giving the vibe that he’d always put her first. That would be a super unfulfilling relationship for him if it stayed unbalanced like that. People who choose themselves first all the time either find someone like that too and have a companionship marriage (not a super lovey dovey big family thing) or they stay single & find fulfillment in their dreams or whatever. Just my opinion & experience

[@llafemme9605]

Gabriella didn't want to leave, there's a whole argument between her and Taylor convincing her TO LEAVE. Gabriella wanted to stay another year with everyone, but when Troy found out he wanted her to go to Stanford. Gabriella's main thing was that she never got to make long lasting friendships cause she was always moving so when she finally was able to stay at East High she was sad to leave again.

[@xlene_]

yes i agree to a certain extent, but i feel like she was quick to not want to do little things like go to prom or graduation! she could have had both? why was it one or the other? and i love your commentary on this cause i actually agree that she did feel torn but ultimately she chose herself!

[@jayaira]

@@xlene_THANK UUUUU

[@a-m3248]

@@xlene_ I don’t think it was necessarily her not wanting to go. I think it was more of the back and forth that she had a problem with. It’s the type of thing where you have to leave and say goodbye to a place and people that you love, and it’s very very hard on you. And while you’re gone, you have to get used to being away from them. Coming back for prom just to leave a second time would make the leaving 10x harder, because that progress you made of getting used to a new setting would be ruined. And just imagine doing it a 3rd time. I think that’s the point Gabriella was making when she told Troy she wasn’t coming back. She didn’t want to have to say goodbye 3 times. Which is very understandable if you think about it. Thankfully Troy found a way around the situation and drove to her for prom, which was really sweet and shows how much he cares.

[@vgogh_]

​​@@xlene_ i disagree with you. she wasn't quick to not want to not go to prom or graduation, she said why in one of her arguments with troy. she couldn't bear another goodbye, she had to get used to the distance between her and troy and all of her friends, she said all of that in that one argument they had over telephone. leaving, coming back and leaving again is tiring, tear the person apart. she could have both and she had both. the lack of consistent and long relationships is one of her traumas, this is why she said she don't wanted to go to prom, graduation and one of the motives she wanted to stay at east high

[@growingupwithdisney]

You got me looking at their WHOLE relationship in a different lens, Troy was IN LOVE with Gabriella, while Gabriella just loved Troy. Just look at their very first scene in the first film. They are about to kiss on New Years Day, Gabriella pulls away to go to her mom, Troy has to go out his way to ask for her number, while Troy is still trying to talk to her, Gabriella leaves. She did NOT have to leave😅 she said, "that's enough social interaction for me!" He was entranced by her because she was something different. She was very observant in that first half of the movie, with the, "why are you whispering?" scene after class, and saying she isn't gonna sign up for any club but would see the show if Troy did. She wasn't privy to how the school works, but was tryna understand why they make sure a big deal out of everything, to her it was just singing Gabriella's attachment for Troy being far less than his attachment for her does make sense. Troy's first impression of her was that she was someone different, she came to his school and completely changed his entire worldview. He couldn't be just the basketball guy anymore, she was the first person who truly made him feel self in being his complete self. Gabriella is just so kind and there for him to open up. He was a good person for her to have, but it doesn't go as deep as his love for her, he completely changed as a person with her.

[@growingupwithdisney]

[@xlene_]

yes!! gabriella wasn’t willing to change anything about herself and that’s one thing I actually genuinely respect disney for! wish they wrote the communication better but they wrote so many girls that accepted bad behavior or put the guy before themselves ( Mo, teddy duncan, miley, alex russo, raven) this was one of the OG female characters that wasn’t trying to hear all that noise about a man! she liked troy but she had her eyes on her goals too

I’m with you on how Gabriella stood up to Sharpay in HSM2. It was very satisfying. I know that there was a huge chance that Troy and Gabriella would grow apart or break up because they were in high school, but it really pisses me off that Disney decided to put them in couples therapy after all these years. Even if there was a moral we needed to learn, the HSM series was nothing more than a cash grab. It would’ve been fine breaking them up or ending up together, or having them break up and then meet again years later. Any of those scenarios would allow the audience to move on. But Disney just HAD to milk it…sorry about that rant that’s just how I feel. But you made great points.

the series was definitely interesting.. it’s not bad but definitely interesting for something that was living off the legacy of such a great movie

[@Tasha9315]

They had their flaws and Gabriella lacked effort. But I don't think this means they're a bad couple who wont last. They were teens and people can grow. During HSM, she had in her head that her future was important and shouldn't be compromised for a boy. Head over heart. So Gabriella may even put in more effort and prioritiy to their relationship once her feelings for Troy and attachment to the relationship is stronger. During HSM, she was a teen who had it in her head that her future

Troy also lacked effort though! During HSM 2 he literally left her for what he perceived to be his “future” as well (it was just money).

[@Tasha9315]

@ I wouldn't say he left her. Moreso he began spending more time with people directly associated with him getting into his dream university and in doing so, began having less and less time for her as something related to uni people always came up and he felt he couldn't say no. But another thing is that Troy is made to be completely wrong while Gabriella is potrayed as at least having some point about her future.

[@blurrycake]

I agree with all you said about HSM1 and most of what you said about HSM2. However, in HSM3, Gabriella had already been offered early admission to Stanford, Sharpay just found out before everyone else and told the whole school. But the reason Gabriella kept it under wraps is because she was undecided. Her and Taylor later have an argument when she confesses her plans to not go to Stanford AT ALL so she could stay with Troy another year. So I feel in this movie she was definitely prioritising Troy over her education, but everyone was invalidating her feelings and convincing her to make the "sensible" choice. In the end, she does what everyone tells her to and accepts the early admission, leaving everything she loves behind. She didn't come back for Prom because it would be too heartbreaking for her to say goodbye all over again. I don't think it was selfish of her to protect her feelings, but she could've tried to make it work with Troy long distance or discussed a compromise instead of silently withdrawing. She was definitely an avoidant! I think the problem they both had was they made decisions on their own instead of as a couple, leaving each other in the dark and creating issues that could've been avoided with better communication. Honestly, regardless of the negatives, I still adore them together and I'd like to believe that after maturing and learning from their mistakes they'd make it to the end. But I'm a hopeless romantic lol.

[@xlene_]

i do agree that she was hesitant to go but i think in her heart she was itching to leave.. she’s left troy for less! i don’t think it makes her a bad person for picking herself though. I did like their relationship especially in the last film! i just don’t think they were healthy all the way but then again they were teens!

[@marcy9125]

Nah, I actually think she was a hypocrite tbh. She "chose herself", but was more than happy to guilt-trip Troy when he tried to do something for his career in HSM2, despite the fact that he was the one who got her the summer job in the first place (...same goes to all of his friends, really). I generally found her insufferable because I got the impression that she always put herself and what she found to be fun/appropriate first, only to act like a victim when others tried to do the same and fight for their own chances at the things they were actually passionate about. Sharpay should have destroyed Gabriela on stage because she treated this seriously and worked hard, despite her obvious character flaws - for Gabriela, it was just fun, and when things stopped being fun/beneficial to her, she started playing the victim, but the movie still tried to paint her as "the good girl who can never do wrong". I remember a lot of kids (me included) looking past through this and still cheering for Sharpay, who not only had passion and drive, but also some actual character progression moments, which Gabriela lacked.

[@xlene_]

i agree that sharpay had character progression during the films! they always restarted her progression when the next movie would start which i absolutely hated! gabriella didn’t really have much progression at least friends wise cause the writers definitely gave her “mary-sue” syndrome

[@thando_mvandaba9844]

In the second High School Musical movie Gabriella didn't go back to Troy because he had reconciled with the Wildcats, she went back to him because Taylor begged her too. There's a deleted scene in that movie where Taylor goes to her house and whilst she's in her bedroom Taylor shows up and tells her how much of a good guy Troy is and that she should give him a second chance(she never really said it like that I'm just paraphrasing). Gabriella on the other hand was a bit resistant at first and kept asking her what about the advice she had given her prior using her sister's 10 rules about boy behavior and what as girl should be cautious about when it comes to boys and stuff. Anyways my point is, it is because of Taylor Gabriella went back to Troy in the second HSM Movie😁❤.

Gabriella was a great character. When I was a kid I couldn’t stand her (besides her great style & gorg looks - love Vanessa!!!) because she kept leaving Troy every movie, but every time she did there was a good reason too and I realized this as I got older when rewatching. I doubt they’d be together today, Gabriella loved him… but loved herself & education more. It’s good to see girls/women choosing themselves and I hope more shows and movies display these actions in the future.

[@thisisavivistanaccount7866]

i think she liked him and overall had fun, he might’ve even been her first love, but I think she let him go to study in college and eventually went on to have a good career in the sciences. my headcanon is that she’s leading research in BioChemistry and she has multiple papers/studies published along with being a professor. Given we never see her dad, I think she saw her mother working hard since she was little, and she followed in her footsteps. Troy was never gonna be the love of her life, and that’s okay.

They wanted to keep everyone in their own respective cliques and sharpay was a big player in that as well.

Gabriella cherishes him with a spirit of balance and clarity, firmly rooted in her aspirations for the future. Gabriella is the type of female that men would desire more and chase even more in real life, she’s like a Margeary Tyrell in another lifetime, Margeary is not all boy crazy she had visions that made her more desirable. Remember males doesn’t wants it when ladies act that they want them so much that they’d give up their dreams for them, males would respect you even more for choosing yourself over them, though you’re caring towards them. Both of them are beauty and brains. Together, she and Troy embody the essence of a nurturing relationship. Should they ever compromise their dreams for one another, it would veer into unhealthy territory, a path they wisely later avoid. Their bond exemplifies the ideal of a romantic partnership, flourishing in mutual respect. Should one partner attempt to wield control with phrases like, “If you truly love me, you must do this or refrain from that,” it signals major red flags . If doubts arise about the love shared simply because Gabriella chooses a different college path, it is time for a reflections on insecurities.

At first I was like, Hate is such a strong word, but honestly you changed my danm mind, cause having someone give up a life changing opportunity, especially one that would set them up at least for the next 4 years because they weren't prioritizing you and their friends only for you to go on and take a life changing opportunity yourself without even factoring that person in your future because you give so few fucks about what they want and think IS something i would do to someone I fucking hate. Also HEAVY on Troy having shitty friends, cause hiw are you not gonna support me when the opportunity of a lifetime is there within my grasp and I just have to sing with a girl to get it and you're gonna act like its abandonment as if Troy didn't hang out with them probably everyday after school and would hang out with them when he secured his future.

Great analysis . Sorry for the long reply. For the first movie I never saw Sharpay as the villain. She wanted to protect the theater club and I think she never had anyone compete with her for the starting role. For the second movie Sharpay was wrong for how she treated her brother. Troy was wrong for using Sharpay to get a scholarship. I think Gabriella would fight for Troy but not stoop to Sharpay level. For the third movie I wish they explored more of Gabriella fear of saying good bye. I think she was scared of losing Troy that she wouldn’t see him again. I think her not going to prom was her way of avoiding what she thinks will happen, Troy abandoning her. I think Gabriella needed Troy to fight for them to show her that he wasn’t leaving her . I do think they do grow up to be more mature in their relationship that is more solid.

i’m surprised they were together still too! the only thing that made sense was that they were in therapy

[@honeybunchesofchims9124]

I completely agree!! Imo I think Gabriella is very selfish and only thinks about her feelings. She makes decisions as if what she feels is the only thing that matters. Yes Troy didn't communicate all that well but I don't think she cared enough to ask. In movie 2, she just left without really explaining anything. Troy was begging her to stay but she still left. In movie 3, she didn't even tell him about the early start opportunity. He had to hear it from Sharpay of all people. Then when she was there, she said she was out of goodbyes and boom she was done. Very selfish. He drove like 15 hours for her. I don't think she would've took the initiative and done the same for him. TLDR: everyone kinda sucks but Troy deserves better

[@xlene_]

exactly! i’m not even mad that she picked herself and her own interest but when folks say that she cared more about her own self than her relationship, folks argue that she didn’t when in fact she did! it’s nice to see sometimes cause disney channel always made the girls care more in the relationships and take back cheaters (lemonade mouth, good luck charlie) so it’s nice to see a girl character care more about herself but it’s weird when folks deny that she did have communication issues

[@deansdolls]

She did explain in movie 2. The gotta go my own way scene was the explanation in movie 3 is where I’ll give you props, but home girl started the song off with “Troy listen”

[@Croissantsss]

Gabriella’s attitude toward boys was 100% “if he’s not adding to my life, I don’t need him; if all he’s giving me is stress, I’m out” and I LOVE her for that! Also I will always maintain that Troy’s crime in the second movie was literally just that he was rude about chasing his bag. Just like he didn’t communicate with Gab that there was nothing going on with sharpay and it was just for his future, he never told his friends “oh sorry guys this college thing came up I can’t make it anymore,” he straight up forgot about the commitments he’d made and talked down to them. Is it petty and stupid? Yeah but that’s why it’s teenage problems 😂 Like I also wouldn’t want a boyfriend who’s incapable of setting boundaries with a girl who he and everyone else knows wants him, which is why as soon as he told sharpay no is when Gabriella decided to come back. I am forever a Gabriella and Ryan defender as contrasts to sharpay (and Troy in 2) as examples of how to be talented and ambitious without treating others poorly

[@xlene_]

i’m definitely still a sharpay defender! but i agree that gabriella knew how to be ambitious without tearing anybody down. troy had to set boundaries and didn’t and tbh i still think gabriella would have left, she came back once she knew troy made up and went back to the wildcat, she wasn’t that mad about the sharpay thing until he started bailing on the other wildcats

[@Croissantsss]

@xlene_ totally, like I don’t think Gabriella was an “I can fix him” girl in the traditional sense but i really think she had some kind of babysitting background/watched supernanny or something bc she was like “I’m not rewarding this behavior, but once you start acting right I’ll come back” lmaoo

[@sorenserotonin]

i agree with your takes on this but the reason the wildcats were upset with troy in hsm2 is because troy is unintentionally treating them as “the help” while he is dillydallying with sharpay. its a class thing (although arguably all the main characters are wealthy but the evans family is especially so) in a way. like how would you feel if your friend who also works the same shit job as you is suddenly ignoring you and gallivanting with the bosses daughter while his gf is right there. does that make sense? like i get why troy did what he did bc honestly who wouldnt do that if they had the shot, but the wildcats had a right to be upset for how he was treating them.

[@xlene_]

i get that and even agree that troy could have communicated better but i still feel like the wildcats in particular chad would have been upset! in the first film he gets upset with troy for having other interests in things that don’t involve him, it’s not the fist time chad has been jealous or tried to sabotage an opportunity for troy IE, the first film

[@sunflswr]

When I was younger, I thought Troy and Gabriella's relationship was really great, but when I rewatched the three movies years later, I realized that if they were a real-life couple, they wouldn’t have stayed together. For me, their biggest issues were communication and priorities. Troy put Gabriella above everything, and Gabriella didn’t know how to communicate directly with Troy to solve their problems. On the contrary, she kept everything to herself and only talked to Troy when it was time to break up. To be very honest, I never understood the importance Troy gave to Gabriella among his friends. In the first movie, if it weren’t for Sharpay setting her up to join the Academic Decathlon, Gabriella wouldn’t have had any friends besides Troy. Throughout the entire first movie, Gabriella had no real friendships with the Wildcats unless Troy was involved. In other words, the basketball boys wouldn’t have been friends with her if she weren’t dating the team captain. In the second movie, Troy was the one who got everyone a job, all because he wanted to help Gabriella first, and he was also the reason why his friends stayed working at Lava Springs. Troy was always the unifying force for the Wildcats-everyone in the group followed him, and he followed Gabriella. So much so that Gabriella quit her job without even considering spending the last moments of summer with her friends just because she had fought with Troy. In the end, Troy was the one who motivated the Wildcats. In the third movie, Gabriella arranged for the whole group to be in the musical, and they only accepted because Troy did, just to please Gabriella. Since the first movie, all of Troy's decisions revolved around Gabriella: he only auditioned for the musical because of her, only agreed to be in the talent show because of her, made up with his friends after breaking up with her, participated in the third movie’s musical because of her, and even chose his college to stay close to her. That’s why it bothers me a little in High School Musical 3 when he visits her at Stanford and gives a speech about how East High isn’t the same without her. It wasn’t East High that wasn’t the same without her-it was him. And because he was sad, his friends were sad too.

[@xlene_]

i love this perceptive! troy could never decide and make choices on his own.. if it wasn’t gabriella , it was chad or his own dad.. he does this in all 3 films

[@itsmikki44]

bruh high school musical 2 is always the one i'm most reluctant to rewatch because of how troy is perceived in it. there could have been so much more communication between troy and his friends but instead they let things bubble up and then explode. not introducing chad to the basketball dudes?? alright, i see the irritation there...but say something to him?? i haven't watched it in a while but i'm pretty sure chad's first time saying anything about his irritation with troy was when troy was going to the basketball practice and chad just goes "that's my ball" and the only other time he talks to troy is again immediate anger?? like truly the only thing i see as "disrespectful" towards the guys that troy did is tell chad he got his order wrong instead of introducing him. but something tells me that even without that, the guys would still be pissed at troy out of plain jealousy

[@xlene_]

chad was messy since first film when he recorded troy saying all that stuff about gabriella! i been peeped that he was jealous! his actions in the first film plus his first reaction when troy is getting in good with the college players let me know! yes troy could’ve introduced them but why didn’t chad try to ask gabriella or ryan even since he was somewhat cool with ryan and ryan had the same connections

[@michellehuxtable5720]

Troy was the bad guy of HSM. Sharpay could have had a better future.

[@xlene_]

they blame sharpay for troy’s actions. nobody told troy to bad mouth gabriella in the first film, he did it all on his own yet folks call sharpay the villian for that film at well

[@michellehuxtable5720]

Gabriella was always my favorite because as much as she cared for Troy she made it clear that her education and goals came before a man. I honestly still stand on the fact of that they should've just broke up at the end of HSM3 and go their own ways (pun fully intended)

[@Molly-iw1rc]

Yo, I always think about this when I watch the movies. As a couple, they didn't communicate very well about important stuff or have many deep conversations from what we saw. Like, they obviously liked each other, had fun together, and felt more relaxed with each other (and away from their friends who always wanted them to stay in boxes). They have obvious chemistry and such, but I think they are both just immature highschooler trying to figure stuff out, and they don't know how to navigate a complicated relationship yet. In the first movie, it was just cute. Tbh it was more about their classmates being weird than it was about their relationship. But it was obvious that she was more focused on making friends and staying out of trouble, she also didn't know how long she was gonna be there so she didn't want to make any strong connections. Troy was a whole puppy though lol he wanted her bad. Second movie was weird. Their friends were still a bit annoying. I think Gabriella was actually lowkey triggered by Troy not making time for her. I think she was already anxious about being with him seriously, and she is always thinking he doesn't actually like her. So, she decides to do her summer internship (which is literally an internship like it's not that serious but to them it was so whatever) to avoid the situation and go back to old patterns (going to a new place where she doesn't know anyone and has no connections). It was partially a girlboss move but it felt mostly like she was genuinely scared of losing him and she would rather physically remove herself than stay. Troy is focused on himself this movie and also his relationship. I feel bad for him in this movie, it was probably hella stressful. The third movie shows a different side of Gabriela. She is more committed and confident than ever in her relationship BUT Troy accidentally triggers her again by encouraging her to leave. She didn't expect him to say that and it's once again fanning the flames of her attachment issues and making her think he doesn't actually want her around. So, although she was initially committed to staying against everyone's wishes, she again changes her mind to the choice that repeats her lifelong patterns of leaving stuff behind. It's bittersweet, I'm happy for her, but sad because she is obviously still figuring out what she wants and how to deal with uncertainty. Troy also has attachment issues and decides to go to two schools like what??? Anyways, i still think they love each other but half of their issues would be solved if they talked about their feelings for 2 seconds.

[@xlene_]

they didn’t communicate enough and when one was ready to talk the other was ready to leave

[@myamoore1690]

I just feel like when he got the job he advocated for his girl and dang near whole school but couldn't even BRING UP his BEST FRIEND who has the same dream school. Like homie didn't even ask! Chad helped get those wins. So that's why I think he was messed up for that. Also he was messed up for not communicating with his friends. So I get why they were mad.

[@xlene_]

i just feel like if this was gabriella and taylor, taylor would have encouraged and been happy for her (in the 3rd film, taylor is happy and encouraged gabriella on sanford). taylor and gabriella had similar goals as well. i understand bringing chad up to the college boys if troy was in there.. he hadn’t gotten an offer nor did he even sing with sharpay yet, maybe he could’ve sat them down and spoke with chad before it got too far but sometimes your opportunities are yours alone even if you and your friend have the same goals, but i do see what you’re saying and your perception! 🤍

Remember in HSM 2 even when Troy went on their date very very late, Gab still waited for him. She didn’t even bother Troy with his basketball-Sharpay shenanigans. That’s trust. (Her line in Gotta On My Way “What about trust?) Then in HSM 3 , Gabriella wanted to stay in Alberqueque for the next year just becoz of Troy. She shared it to Troy but Troy wants her to pursue Stanford Gabriella is just so nice, sweet, and mature type of girlfriend.

There were always issues on botha sides. For Troy his issue is being a people pleaser, hes not a bad guy but a flawed one. Troy comes off as the kinda guy who cant say no or would put others needs ahea dof his own. O have no doubt if you knew troy and needed his help you could call him at 3am and hes probably gonna be the first one ready to go. Yet the others around him never seems that way. For one his dad unintentionally lives through his son in basketball, hes not to toxic since this is a dinsey movie but if troy were good enough to go bro in the NBA should it exist in the HSM universe you know hes gonna be bragging 24/7. Troys mom is almost non existent and i couldnt tell you if they ever talked in the films. Chad kinda rides on troys coat tails, yes they are friends but chad seems to always be joined at troys hip and wants them to go to the same college together. As a sports fan chad gives off robin vibes, chad wouldnt wanna be the number 1 on the team troys the 1 and hes fine as the 2. Again im not down playing their friendship but seriously did chad have a life outside of troy like damn! Now Gabriella, her flaw is that shes the kinda girl who doesnt wanna get burned by others but thats caused her to become a burner. What i mean is she doesnt want to be in competition for troy and has no problem leaving at the drop of the hat. Now that is NO WAY is a bad thing, especially for women in the modern day if you feel your in a toxic situation or relationship you should exercise the right to leave and go your own way. I dont fault her for that ans holding troy accountable. The problem is that even when troy is doing good she still is ready to bounce and troy has to accept that. Gabriella is like a cat, she comes and goes as she pleases, when shes around she wont settle for anything other then your 100% but is ready to leave you when it suits her. Gabriella is the kinda girl would work work long hours then come home and exeecpt your 100% no matter what and if you dont give that shed take it as her sign to go. Ultimately the best thing they could do is break up and be friends with benefits. I wont be vulgar but we can assume that post HSM they had to have hooked up and probably have good chemistry together. I coukd see them being better off as friends who occasionally hook up if one is in the area ( they shoukd be single of course and nit cheating ) maybe troy flys out to see her or she flys out to see him or they take a vacation together to the Bahamas but Ultimately they live their own lives, that way both have their freedom, both can come and go bur they can still care for each other.

Men? Troy was a kid. He did what any teenager would.

[@xlene_]

agree but it still doesn’t make what he was saying in the first film right in my opinion

[@carrisesilva4067]

Okay idk if I 100% agree with this. Gabriela's issue was not simply him making up with the wildcats, it was the way he started treating her AND his friends. Sharpay was putting the spotlight on him to win him over and was basically telling him his friends had to kick rocks. Chad was insisting he'd never do that to them, just for Troy to get in front of the talent scout and call Chad back just to tell him "i ordered swiss on my burger" 😂 lol that was foul. Prior to that moment of disrespect, Chad most definitely had been supportive. I understand you saying some opportunities are your own, but if the roles had been reversed and Chad didn't mention Troy, you'd call it jealousy. So idk if its fair to aay he and Chad didn't have a real friendship when they were just moody teens trying to navigate situations. Also the scout (and Sharpay) told him to drop the wildcats and he did. And was walking around wearing a jersey with her family name on it. He played right into what Sharpay and her family were doing. Not to mention Sharpay purposely trying to cut his friends out of his life and then cut Ryan out of the show for working with them when she had been doing the same thing with Troy. Its bigger than you're making it out to be. It seemed to Gabriela and his friends that the first opportunity he got to drop them, that's what he did. Also in the third movie, Sharpay definitely had a vision of Troy tattooing her name on his chest and Gabriela was her maid. Like, im sorry but you seem to be being a bit one sided. And please understand I don't mean this to be rude, its just not entirely true what you're saying.

[@xlene_]

your not being rude at all!!! my channel is open for different perceptions, i love love love reading different opinions than me cause it gets me to maybe see a difference in opinion. i still do think 3rd film sharpay didn’t want troy which is why troy was a fan and not her man, and i never denied her having tension with gabriella! sharpay is very self centered and self service! i would never deny it cause it’s true! thank you for your comment and thoughts!! which movie was your fav out of the 3? 🤍

[@carrisesilva4067]

@xlene_ definitely was part 2 lol part 2 was legendary. And thank you for being so sweet in your response. Its so refreshing to be able to talk to a person even if you don't agree, especially a person who owns the channel. I'm going to subscribe bc I love the way you engage with your audience and love your candor ❤️

[@xlene_]

thank you so much!! and thanks for being so nice 🤍

I agree that troy wasn t in th3 wrong in the 2nd movie and u never got the drama tbh he got a huge opportunity and they expected him not to take it??? Like what..

[@xlene_]

his friends were hating HARD

[@noelialopez6750]

For me, it’s kinda hard to feel for her or point facts on her. While she has understandable feelings during Troy’s tough moments, she has moments where she’s either trying to hard or not trying at all. Again! It’s just what I think!

[@xlene_]

i agree with you! there’s moments where i really could see her feelings for troy and there’s other times where i felt like she was really ready to leave him over anything

[@gameplayezssoiinnychgier300]

It s true the friends weren t very supportive in either of the movies even in the 3rd chad was like we re gonna be in college tgt gabriellq s ahead of everyone alrrady as if he didn t consider troy s heartbreak over psrting ways. W his gf in college

[@xlene_]

his friends were never really supportive
