Troy's P.O.V

I came up behind my girlfriend of two years, Sharpay Evans and swiftly covered her eyes with both of my hands. "Guess who," I said while smiling to myself.

"Ryan Sheckler?" she questioned with a giggle.

"How'd you guess?!" I said tying my hardest to stay serious and not laugh at her.

"Hmmm don't know, but I think it's best for you to stay away from me… cause I have this amazing boyfriend, who might have to kick your ass." She said while gently taking my hands off her eyes.

"Wow he does sound pretty great, but you forgot to mention muscular you know." I said with a slight chuckle. Sharpay turned around and intertwined our fingers, "You're right he is pretty muscular from all those years of track." She replied with a soft smile, then leant up and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I kissed her back, "I love you," I said looking into her ocean blue eyes.

"I love you too…A LOT." She said while turning around and starting to walk.

"Where are you going Shar?" I asked confused.

"Have to go to the dinning hall, my parents, Ryan, and I are having lunch with a new girl form West Albuquerque that we might hire for the waitress position that we still have to fill." She replied simply.

"Ohhh okay, can I come?" I asked hopeful. She turned to me, grabbed my hand with a smile, and said "Sure why not." I smiled in thanks. "You know if you get bored though you can do anything you want. I mean you do have all privileges to Lava Springs..." she reminded me.

"Yea, I know I just wanna meet the girl that way if we don't get along I'll know to stay clear of her." I said matter of factly. "Like Ryan's girlfriend Kelsi Neilson" she pointed out with a laugh. I gave a small chuckle and replied "Yeah like her."

Gabriella's P.O.V

"Oh my gosh; I'm so nervous, they should be here any minute you know…" I said to my best friend of four years Chad Danforth.

"Gabriella! Calm yourself! EVERYTHING is going to go smooth." Chad said rather convincing.

"I really hope –"I was cut off by the sound of laughing and footsteps getting closer and closer… "GOT TO GO!" I frantically yelped into the phone. I quickly adjusted myself while patting my hair to make sure everything was in place and I looked presentable. I looked up at the entrance of the dining hall to find a small blonde haired girl with a taller brown haired boy. I smiled before brushing my hair behind my ear and saying "Hi, I'm uh Gabriella."

The small blonde haired girl took a seat next to me and said "Hello I'm Sharpay Evans; my family owns Lava Springs, and this is my boyfriend Troy Bolton."

"Nice to meet you both." I said with a smile. Troy gently took my hand.

"Nice to meet you." He said with a smile "Same here." I said somewhat awkwardly since he had not let go of my hand yet.

"Babe?" Sharpay looked at him with a confused expression across her face.

"Oh? Sorry!" He said with a blush as he let go of my hand and took a seat next to Sharpay.

Just then came walking in a middle aged woman and man with blonde hair and a boy that looked about Troy's age. He also had blonde hair. "Why hello. You must be Gabriella Montez?" the middle aged woman questioned, before sitting across the table from me along with the man and boy.

"Yes, that would be me." I replied

"Ah good. Well I am Mrs. Evans this is Mr. Evans." She said gesturing to her husband. "This is Ryan our son," she said pointing to the boy with the blonde hair who smiled at me. "And I'm guessing you met our daughter, Sharpay and her boyfriend, Troy?" she questioned.

"Yes, I have." I smiled warmly at her.

Mrs. Evans smiled back at me. "Now on with the interview, I'd like to ask you some ques-" she was cut off by Troy.

"Uhm I think I'm gonna go out by the pool for a bit." He said before quickly standing up.

"Are you okay, babe?" Sharpay asked.

"Yea just kind of stuffy in here…" he replied reassuringly.

"Okay, bye Troy" the Evans family all said in unison.

"Nice to meet you…" I called after him.

Troy's P.O.V.

I sat at the pool's edge thinking about what just happened in the dining hall. Why couldn't I let go of her hand?! Her hand was so smooth, and silky, and not to mention her beautiful fingers. She has an exotic look to her; dark hair, almond shaped eyes, voice, smile… STOP! Why did I just think that?! I already have a great girl. She's my match, soul mate, and my best friend.

I made my feet go in circles at the pool's edge. I didn't even notice someone had come up and sat next to me. I looked up into the worried blue eyes of Sharpay; my sweet, beautiful girlfriend.

"I'm sorry I ran out of there like I did… I just needed some air." I finished lamely.

"It's okay. What was up with that anyways? You were fine on the walk up here…" I sighed as I looked away from Sharpay disgusted at myself for lying to her and having thought's about another girl I only met today.

"Yeah, I know. Guess I just felt a little warm in there."

She looked at me knowing that I was lying to her since my face was getting red as a tomato. But she didn't press the subject; she took her hand in mine; while I rubbed my thumb into her hand softly. Sharpay sighed and placed her head on my shoulder, while looking out into the gorgeous sunset before us. I gently placed a kiss on her forehead and stared at the view also.

That is the end of the first chapter of The Way You Looked Tonight. Tell us what you thought:) At least FIVE reviews before we load up the second chapter. :)
