CWA: This is the ONLY fic I will EVER do on this subject, due to its ultimate corniness and ickyness. Yes, although I hate the actors in this with a passion (not actresses, and especially Corbin Bleu), I am writing a High School Musical one-shot. And, here it is! Point Of View shall be obvious within the first paragraph.


Interlude in the Hallway

Shy girl, smart girl, strong girl, beautiful girl. Such a beauty, I can't believe I was so freaking stupid! I lost it and could have ruined any chance I had with her! Why did I do that? Why did I kiss her? Why did I lose control?

I pause and hear a tune being sung down the hall. It was so soft, yet grew louder as it got closer and it went on. "You don't remember my name. I don't really care. Can we play the game your way? Can I really lose control?" the voice sang as I came closer. It was…her. She stopped singing as soon as she saw me and was speechless for about a minute. I tried to speak, but, before I could, she said, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? I was the one being stupid! If you didn't want the kiss, then I'm sorry I gave you it," I said, "It's just…"

She stopped me again. "No, don't apologize," she stated as she came closer. "I didn't want us to get in trouble for a public display of affection and we both had victories to gain. That's why I didn't kiss you back. I'm sorry, Troy, my reputation got the better of me. I was scared, too. I don't know why I didn't say it before, but…"

I interrupted her this time, saying, "You don't need to say anything. It's okay to be scared. I was, too. Ever since we met at that party on New Year's Eve, I've wanted to say something to you, and now I get the chance. I…" She stopped me this time with a kiss to my lips. I kissed back and then finished with "…love you, Gabriella." Her arms wrapped around me tightly and I asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?" She nodded.


CWA: It's so short and sickeningly sweet! Anyway, R&R.
