Chapter 1: The Party
Gabriella was extremely excited for a numerous amount of reasons. The first was that her Scholastic Decathlon team had just won the championship, and everyone on her team was extremely excited (including her). The second reason Gabriella was happy was because she had gotten the lead in the school play. She had just found a new hobby and she loved it. The third was because she was walking into the after party( at Troy's house) of the game holding hands with the boy she loved and cherished the most. Troy Bolton. Gabriella gazed into Troy's eyes realizing how much she loved him. She looked to her left and saw Taylor and Chad walking in beside them, also holding hands. The whole musical situation had just brought the whole group together and Gabriella loved it.
"Hey, Gabriella can I talk to you for a second?" Troy asked. Gabriella looked suspicious. What was happening? I like Troy but could it be true that he likes me back? Could he be about to ask me out? Many questions raced through Gabriella's head.
"Sure." Gabriella replied, trying to sound excited but not too excited at the same time. She followed Troy away from Chad and Taylor and over into a hallway. He led her up a set of spiral staircases. And finally when they reached the top, he turned right and the duo came into a room decorated in basketball posters, and numerous basketball trophies. There were also pictures of him and Chad together on a beach surfing, and one of him snow boarding. Next to that which surprised Gabriella the most was a picture of Gabriella and him singing with each other that first New Years Eve they ever met. Gabriella wondered how Troy had come across this photo. She of course had been searching for one like it. She had tried every method she had known possible. It surprised her that he had found one and she hadn't.
"Wow, that's embarrassing." Troy said.
"What?" Gabriella asked. She wasn't really sure what he was talking about. His room was really cool, and not too messy.
" That picture. I searched far and wide for it, but I didn't really ever expect you to see it in my room." Gabriella giggled. She found it so extremely cute how his face began to redden and he got this really fake but awfully cute grin on his face. She wanted to hug him and never have to let go, but she couldn't, because he wasn't her boyfriend.
" That's ok. I think its cute Troy." At this Troy began to slightly loose his embarrassment a little bit. " So why did you want to talk to me?" Gabriella asked earnestly. She was very curious after all.
" Oh yeah. About that." He said. " Well I was just wondering if you know maybe you wanted to go on a date sometime, like you know to a movie or something." Gabriella could not believe what she was hearing. Could this possibly be true? For once in my life the boy who likes me likes me back. It's not like I ever was that pretty or all. Troy could have anyone he wants! I am so delighted that he would choose me above anyone else.
"Of course Troy! I would love too." Gabriella exclaimed.
" Well in that case. I have something to give you." Troy walked over to his bureau and took a box off of the top of his dresser. He walked back over towards Gabriella and handed her the box. Gabriella opened it and inside she saw the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen in her life. It was a locket. A silver one from Tiffany's. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life. It was a heart shaped one, and on the front it said her name. Gabriella. She flicked it open, and saw the picture of her and Troy singing together for the first time ever. On the inside the locket read.
To Gabriella,
I hope you enjoy this picture.
Our relationship will be just like kindergarten.
I will love you always and forever.
Love,
Troy
"Oh my god, Troy! You shouldn't have!" Gabriella couldn't believe it. She knew that it was an expensive necklace. I mean it was from Tiffany's. Gabriella was beyond excited.
" So you like it?"
"Like it. Troy I love it!" Troy looked extremely excited.
" There is only one problem." Troy said
" What?" Gabriella asked she was extremely confused. What was happening? I thought he said he loved me.
" You haven't paid for it yet!" Troy exclaimed. Gabriella couldn't believe it. Troy looked completely serious too.
"What?" Gabriella asked for the second time in a row.
" The price is a kiss." Troy said. Gabriella smiled. Than she walked closer in towards him. They leaned in and touched lips for a little while.
" Come on." Troy said ending the kiss. " We don't want Chad and Taylor to get suspicious, even though I know they will." Gabriella chuckled. How could life be any better? She was dating the man of her dreams, and she was completely in love with him. Troy led her out of the room and down the stairs. Gabriella was smiling. It was a perfect day.
" Call 911! Call 911." They both heard Chad yell. Troy and Gabriella rushed over.
"It's Taylor." Chad said pointing to the ground. Gabriella saw Taylor lying passed out on the floor.
Don't worry people. I wouldn't kill a character off this early in the story! ;-)
