Troy's POV

(flashback)

Preschool- "Troy, can you please push me on the swing?" said a very cute, lovable Vanessa.

"Okie Dokey Gabbi, after all, I gots all my muscles from bwasketball." said a very kind, stubborn Troy.

As little Troy tried to push Gabriella on the swing, Mrs. Bolton got the cutest picture of Gabriella on the swing giggling, and Troy pouting from behind.

(end of flashback)

So as you probably know, I'm Troy Bolton. Yes, the son of the basketball superstar from East High. My dad wants me to go to East High too, and so do I, but I have really liked being in eighth grade with my friends. So next year, when I am 14, me and the "gang" will be going off to East High, together. But for now, it is just us, at age 13.

"Hey Troy!" Gabriella said giggling for some reason.

"Hi, Gabriella! Why in the world are you laughin'?" I asked, completely confused.

"Chad just told me the funniest thing..." Gabriella tried to say, but couldn't because she was laughing to hard.

" Lemme guess, it's about me.." I replied, knowing that only Chad could embaress me that much, other than my mom.

"Yes...it was sooo funny!!!" Gabriella laughed then glanced at her watch. "Oh, it's time for lunch!!! I'll see you there Troy."

I smiled for no reason. Something inside of me made me smile. "Okay"

Lunch( Gabriella's POV)

As I walked into the cafeteria, there was Troy, waving to me because he had saved me a seat. As usual, the cheerleaders in the table next to us, clearly jealous, were drooling over Troy the cutest kid in the eighth grade.

"Hey Troy!!!" waving as I said that to him, to make the cheerleaders jealous.

"So Gabriella..." Taylor started. I knew where this was going. Taylor, once again, was trying to convince me into telling her who I liked.

"Taylor, I told you a million times, I don't like anyone." I said with a little attitude.

"Okay, okay. I just thought this time you would like someone." Taylor said putting an emphasis on "this time".

(Troy's POV)

For some strange reason, I felt hurt when I heard Gabriella say that she didn't like someone. Could I...? Nah Gabriella is just a friend. But we could make a cute couple. Whoa, I just thought of my best friend that way. I thought. Maybe I was feeling something for Gabriella.

"Hey Chad?" I wispered. Maybe Chad was falling for Taylor.

"What?" Chad wispered back

"Do you like Taylor?"

"A little... but I have never really thought of her in that way. I have always thought of her as just a friend. Like you and Gabriella." Chad answered truthfully.

So if Chad can like a best friend, then so can I.

"Hey Chad, do you really think Gabriella and I would really be a good couple?" I wispered, not wanting anyone to hear.

"Why?"

"Well, I just thought because you said 'like you and Gabriella'."

"Well, you are two totally different people, but you two are such good friends, that I think you guys could go together."

"Really?"

"Hey, I thought you were 'just wondering'."

"Right." My cheeks were burning with embaressment. I should have never said that.

Saturday(Gabriella's POV)

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever th-

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Hey Gabriella it's Troy."

"Oh hey Troy!"

"I was wondering, do you want to go to the movies today with me to see Twilight?"

"Yeah,sure!! Did you know that I re-" I was cut off by Troy.

"-That you read all of the Twilight books? I know." Troy chuckled.

"Sorry. Did tell you that much?" I asked. Feeling very embarressed. "What time should we go?"

"I was thinking in an hour? If that is okay with you?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Cool. I'll meet you at your house on my bike!" Troy replied with sarcasim about the bike.

"Okay,bye!"

"Bye!"
