A/N: This idea just came to me. Tell me if I should continue it. It may be boring in the first couple of chapters, but soon twists and surprises will come.
The Teenage Years
Gabriella's POV
I walked out of Science class with one thought in my mind: 'What was I going to wear to Taylor's party on Saturday?'. This simple thought had been pestering me the whole day.
Why, you ask?
Because I wanted to impress a certain Troy Bolton, and I'm not afraid to say. I've told everyone except him.
What? I'm not a wimp! I've only known him for 4 years. 4 very long years...
Ok. So maybe I'm little afraid!
But wouldn't you? I'm sure half of you are scared to tell your crush you like them.
I met up with Taylor and we talked for a little before Troy walked to us in a hurry. He looked like he was laughing really hard. "Guys, you have to come over quickly!" He said running over. I looked at Taylor. She just shrugged. I ran over to Troy and there in front of my eyes was Chad, in a ballerina outfit, with a tiara on hid head and a plastic wand in his left hand.
Yes, you heard me right. And you can guess my immediate reaction. I looked at Taylor.
Yep. Same reaction.
Soon we burst out laughing. I laughed so hard I was crying. Troy could barely talk.
"He...lost...bet" he said, trying to breath. I looked up and saw Chad glaring at Troy. "What was the bet?" I asked him. He simply walked away, skipping down the hall.
Eh. Probably another part the bet. If it's not, then my suspicions of Chad being crazy would be confirmed true.
"We had a bet that if Miss. Darbus gave him an F on his test, he would have to dress like a ballerina princess. You can guess who won the 20 bucks." said Troy, his laughing ceasing at last.
Taylor decided to check up on her poor humiliated boyfriend.
Oh yeah. Taylor and Chad decided to hookup this year. I feel really happy for them, but sometimes I feel really lonely when I see them cuddle or kiss.
Sigh. Im a hopeless romantic, I know.
I felt eyes looking at me, and I turned around to see Troy staring me. He quickly looked away and I thought I saw him blush.
Did he?
Nah. It was probably a figment of my imagination.
I turned around and walked to my locker where I saw Taylor, all packed up and ready to go to our next class, which was Math. We talked for a while and Taylor said that Chad was scarred for life after what happened,
I find that hard to believe.
Wait until you accidently see your dad wearing your dress and dancing in front of your former crush for entertainment and then we'll talk.
And yes, that really happened, unfortunately.
I snapped out of my trance and looked at Taylor, who had a knowing smirk on her face. "It's not what you think it is." I said to her, defending myself. Although thinking of Troy is much better than of the latter. "Ahuh.." she said, with a look on her face that read 'your-a-big-liar'. "Really!" I said. "Never mind. Let's just go to Math." She said, shaking her head. I rolled my eyes before following her. Soon I was sitting on my desk, waiting for class. And you can probably guess who sits by me. Yep. Troy.
Boy, I am becoming too predictable...
"Hey." He said, looking at me with those blue eyes that made me melt every time I saw them.
"Hey Troy. What's up? Other than the Chad ordeal." I said, smirking at him. :Eh. Nothing much. Chad is still mad he lost the bet. Hey, want to come over to my house this afternoon?" I saw that he was really anxious for me to say yes.
"I don't know. I might be able to pencil you in..." I said, teasing him.
"Please?" He did his signature puppy pout, which he knew I couldn't resist.
"Fine..I think I'll manage to see you even thought I was extremely busy.."
"Yay!" He said, grinning.
How I love to talk with him. We could talk for hours and not get bored.
"Ahem! Can you guys flirt with each other somewhere else?" said a familiar voice.
"Sharpay, why are you in this class? I thought you went to English.." I said to her.
"They moved me here after they saw that Ryan was doing better without me there." she said in an annoyed tone. "Gee, I wonder why..." said Troy sarcastically. I giggled and Sharpay glared at us. The class went by quickly and before I knew it, I was in Troy's red convertible on my way to my house.
Troy's POV:
I am seriously going to kill myself one day if I don't tell her I loved her.
Yes, you heard right. I loved Gabriella Montez and I'm not ashamed to say it. It's really sad that I knew her for 4 years and I still haven't told her my feelings.
Especially Chad, who has never stopped teasing me about her. Luckily, I got even today. Need I say anything else?
So here I was, sitting next to her, driving to her house to hang out and do homework. I didn't know what I was going to say. Luckily, she spoke first. "What are you going to give me?" she asked.
Ack! How did you figure that out?!?
"I can tell because you were so hyper for me to go with you." she said, smiling.
I mentally slapped myself. I really should work on that.
"Ok, here." I quickly took my bag off the floor and fished around for it. "Aha!" I said as I found the box holding the precious jewelry. I gave it to her and she opened it. A soft gasp came her mouth as she saw the small silver locket engraved with her initials. I parked by her house and put the locket on for her. My gift: a huge hug.
I really should do this often.
A/N: Ok. Tell me if I should continue this. I know this is kinda short, but I'll try to make this longer. Oh, and a huge twist is coming soon. See if you can spot it. D
