Watching HSM 123

Troy and his dad talk

"This is after Gabriella leaves, Troy is at home and he talks to his dad." Elena said.

Troy laying down on his bed, throwing the basketball in the air and catching it

Mr Bolton opens his room door

Mr Bolton:
You're usually taking these
right off the grill

Troy:
Maybe I've been eating too much
at the club

Mr Bolton:
You've barely been out of this room the last three or four days,

"Gabriella was like that as well, she barely left her room." Mrs Montez said.

Let's call the guys, get a game going

Troy continues throwing the ball in the air and catching it

Troy:
They wouldn't come even if I called

"At that time, he's right." Zeke said.

Mr Bolton:
I find that hard to believe

Troy:
Dad,
Do I seem different to you this summer?

"Yeah, you were acting like a jerk." Chad said and Troy punched him on the arm.

Mr Bolton
You dress a lot better, that's for sure

"Hahaha." All the boys were laughing.

"I was being serious dad." Troy groaned.

Troy:
Oh, man, I'm serious,
Maybe my friends are right,
Maybe I'm turning into a jerk
with new shoes

"You did." Everyone said.

Mr Bolton sits down next to Troy's bed

Mr Bolton:
New shoes, not a new kid,
Where's this coming from?

Troy:
I've been so focused on my future,
I mean, Gabriella quit,
Chad won't talk to me,
I don't see the Wildcats running around here

Mr Bolton:
Is this about going after
what you want?

Troy:
Yeah, Dad,
The scholarship's important,
I get it

Troy sits on one side of his bed and looks at the floor

Mr Bolton:
Hey, hey,
Look,
It's only a big deal if it makes sense to you

Troy:
I don't even know who I am any more

Mr Bolton:
You know what?

Mr Bolton gets up at picks up a frame of Troy in his basketball clothes holding a basketball

I've known this kid for a long, long time,
And I got a lot of faith in him,
He looks a lot like you,

"That's because he is me dad." Troy said.

"But at that time, that wasn't you." Mr Bolton said.

Mr Bolton throws the frame on the bed

I'm absolutely sure he's going
to figure out the right thing to do

Troy looks at the picture of him

"Thanks dad, that talk actually helped me." Troy said.

"Anytime son." Mr Bolton said.
