Ski Lodge
She sat by the fire place, a large cup of hot chocolate cradled in her hands a book - e reader - in her lap. Totally absorbed in a fictitious world. That is how he had seen her for the first time, last year. Now that was how he was seeing her again. It had been a long year, long distance relationships were never easy. But they made it work, spring break and summer holidays. Daily phone calls, texts and video sessions got them though. They even exchanged a couple of snail mails.
Now he was back at the Ski Lodge for New Years Eve - alas with his friends in tow but that wouldn't stop him from spending time with her. It would be a start to a great year. Her mother had been moved to his town and she was transferred to his school. So they could spend the rest of Senior Year together.
The heavenly liquid slid down her throat as she was absorbed herself in the world of Sierna Dupree. She had no idea that his eyes were trained on her.
He waited until she had put down the hot beverage and then snuck up behind her and placed his hands over her eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Hi Troy," she smiled.
He removed his hands and she turned her head. At that movement he leaned down and captured her lips with hers.
"Happy New Year," he whispered.
"That's not for other twelve hours," she smiled.
"So," he smiled.
"Happy New Year," she smiled.
"Hey Captain!" shouted a voice.
"Oh god," groaned Troy, as he dropped his head onto her shoulder.
"Whose that?" she asked.
"That would be Chad," he answered.
"Your best friend?" she asked.
"The wildcats are here," he said.
"So you should spend time with them," she smiled.
"I see them everyday. I saw you three months ago," said Troy.
"You have to spend time with all of us," said Gabriella. "I know you want to spend time with just me because it's our anniversary today but you've brought your friends with you and you have to spend time with them."
"I will just not today."
"Troy we go back to school in a few days," said Gabriella. "You need to spend time with all of us."
"Gabriella I will see them at school everyday and you not," answered Troy.
"Troy you brought your friends with you and you will spend time with them," answered Gabriella. "You've promised you'll come to college with me or near me and even if that doesn't happen I can see forever with us. You need forever with your friends as well and blowing them for in their eyes a chick you just met isn't the way to keep them."
"But-"
"Troy Bolton you will go and spend time with your friends." she scolded.
"Yes dear," he muttered.
"Less of that. You get me tonight," she answered.
"Fine," he conceded. "But I won't pretend to like it."
He started to walk back to his friends but his voice stopped him.
"Troy"
He turned back to her.
"You forgot something," she whispered.
He grinned and kissed her.
"Dinner?" she asked.
He nodded. "Without everyone."
She nodded. "Now go have lunch ski or whatever. I've gotta go find mum."
"Love you," he whispered.
"Love you too," she answered. "Now go."
He turned on his heel and headed to his friends.
"Don't ask. I won't tell," he said. "Not yet anyway. Tomorrow maybe."
Gabriella heard the comment as she walked past.
"I'm Gabriella his girlfriend!" she called.
