-"YOU chose stanford. U of A was chosen FOR me."
-wants to be independent/not be under everyone else's
-extremely supportive of his friends (helping chad ask taylor to prom/literally gets an entire cafeteria to shut up with the power of just his yelling)
-secret troll (perfect for frat house)
-wants to solve his own problems as much as he can,
"don't you feel like your whole future is laid out for you? I just want my future to be my future." / "what's so bad about [acting?]"
-FIERCELY LOYAL almost to a fault
-secretly a kid at heart (all of boys are back as reference)
-believes in friends and family are the most important, takes gabriella to help him see he's important, too
-world revolves around two things: basketball and Gabriella (sometimes theatre). everything else is secondary.
-very trusting, falls for sharpay's ploys without even realizing it.
-naive but mostly just too trusting:
"This could very well be the best strawberry in the whole world, but you'd never know because you'll never eat it." - p much his philosophy
-puts others before him to the point of destroying his own happiness (basketball, gabriella going to stanford)
-finds it really hard to let go of things (clarify not grudgey just fights for what he wants)
-never wants to show a bad side/frown infront of his group (troops need morale)
-dismisses theatre when he's in the presence of his dad
-very patient, very good at hiding angst to people. "Chad would get over [going to another school]. But you?" to his dad.
"I'm not a little kid anymore. You raised me to make my own choices and I need to make them. Not you or Chad or anybody else.Me."
-ENTIRE PARAGRAPH ABOUT SCREAM
-Because he trusts so uch and has such an open heart he gets hurt. Part of him thinks this makes him stronger b/c he's learned but mostly it just sucks because he can't show his hurt to anyone (drama)

-gabriella is one step ahead + troy's behind but happily so for the first time in his life. instead of seeing gabriella being ahead as not living up to his own expections he embraces it
-two are yin and yang. gabriella thinks ahead and plans and troy makes sure she doesnt get carried away. gabriella makes sure troy's doing what HE wants to do
-note that he doesn't hate everyone
