Gabriella sat in her room crying. She couldnt believe Phil cheated on her. They had been dating for a year and celebrated their aniversary yesterday. Today, after school, Gabi saw Phil kissing one of the cheerleaders. Head cheerleader to be exact. Gabi couldnt believe what she saw. She immediately went over to Phil after his make out session with Amanda, the cheerleader.

"Gabi baby, Come on!" Phil said trying to hold Gabriella, but she wouldnt let him. "She's nothing!"

"Really!? Then why did she say you've been together for 2 weeks?" He let go of her. "Exactly!" She said walking away. "And if you havent guessed we're through!" She yelled holding back the tears.

Troy was going up Gabriellas balcony to surprise her, but he found her crying on her bed.

"Brie, Whats wrong?" He said softly closing the door behind him.

"Oh Troy!" She wiped away the tears

Troy went next to her and hugged her tight. He hated seeing Gabi cry. Gabi hugged him the same and just cried. He rubbed her back in a comforting motion and she cried on his shoulder for a few minutes. She finally pulled away.

"Phil cheated on me" She said suddenly wiping away the rest of her tears.

"What!" He said angrily. Troy didnt always like Phil. He always saw him flirt with other girls when Gabi wasnt near, but didnt say anything since Gabi seemed really in to him.

"Troy, please dont!" Gabi said knowing what Troy would do.

"What the hell is wrong with that guy?" He got up and started pacing up and down her room in frustration.

"I dont know" Gabi said quietly. "I mean we've been together for a year. It was our aniversary yesterday!" Putting her head back in her pillows in frustration.

Troy stopped pacing and went over to Gabriella. Gabi looked at Troy who was deep in thought. For some reason Gabi saw Troy differently now. Yea, she thought he was cute and all but never as her boyfriend, and seeing him worry about her like that, she felt something different. Troy felt Gabi looking at him and they locked eyes. They sat there looking at eachother. Suddenly Troy felt himself lean in and Gabriella as well. They were centimeters away when his cell phone rang.

"Damn it!" He whispered to himself.

Gabriella turned away as a blush crept across her face. She couldnt believe it. Troy and Her were going to kiss.

"Hello!" Troy said moving to the other side of her room.

"Hey Troy!" a cheery voice came from the other line.

"Hi stacy"

"Where are you?"

"Oh, Im at.. umm.. Chads right now" he said lying. Stacy didnt like Troy and Gabriella being friends. She always thought there was somehting more, when the truth was they werent.

"Oh! Well, Just calling to say goodnight" She sounded a little relieved

"Goodnight Stace, See you tomorrow"

"Bye Troy!" blowing a kiss to the phone

"Bye" Sighing

"Girlfriend huh?" Gabi said smiling at Troys mildly annoyed face

"Yea!" He said also smiling

"Brie, Im gonna go, Its getting late!" Troy said walking over to her.

"Yea," looking over at the clock, which read 10:12, "See you tomorrow"

Troy gave her a hug, which lasted pretty long on both sides. Finally Troy let go.

"Dont worry about him," he said putting back a stray hair of hers "He doesnt deserve you anyway!"

"Thanks Troy!" Grinning

"Anytime!" Going down the balcony

At night lying on his bed, Troy thought about Gabriella. How torn amd hurt she looked when he saw her. All he wanted to do was be there for for. Like always. But only this time he was feeling something totally different. Like how he swore he saw her lean in too, but he shook it out of his head and went to sleep.
