Gabriella and Troy were on Gabriella's bed awaiting the results of the pregnancy test. Gabriella glanced at the clock. Five more minutes to go she thought to herself. She looked over at Troy who was nervously playing with his thumbs.
Troy sat there on Gabriella's big queen sized bed. This can't be happening he thought to himself. He couldn't be a father at the age of seventeen. How were Gabriella, him, and the baby going to survive? Not to mention how was he going to fit basketball in his life anymore?
Gabriella's mind went back to the night that all of this happened. Her mom was out with her new boyfriend Antonio.
Gabriella heard a knock at the door. She went to open it and there he was. His beautiful smile brightening up her day.
"Hello." Troy said entering Gabriella's house.
"Hey!" Gabriella said closing the door behind Troy. "So, what are you doing here?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Well, I didn't think I needed an invitation to come to my girlfriend's house?"
"You don't. I love that you came because I was feeling a little lonely anyway." She said walking into the dinning room where she had been eating before he knocked on the door.
Troy followed her into the dinning room and sat down next to her. "Where is your mom?"
"She's out with Antonio." She said rolling her eyes. Let's just say that Gabriella and Antonio didn't get along that well.
The rest of the conversation had gone well from there. Somehow they ended up from eating Chinese food, to laughing and having a good time, to in bed having sex.
All of a sudden the alarm rang which meant it was time to check the test. Gabriella got up from off of the bed and walked to the bathroom door. Before she walked in to look at the test she took one last glance to see the expression on Troy's face. He actually looked really supportive.
Troy watched as Gabriella went inside the bathroom. He found himself going back to two days ago when she told him she thought she was pregnant.
He had just come out of basketball practice. He was sweaty and smelly. As he always did he met up with Gabriella so he could ride her home in his car.
He saw her come out of the auditorium looking nervous. He hadn't thought anything of it. She always looked like that after coming from the debate club. He leant down to kiss her and as always she had a smile on her face.
He was in the car driving when he noticed she was doing that thing with her foot that meant she had something important to say. "What is it?" He finally caved in and asked.
"What are you talking about?" She asked looked at him.
"I know you like the back of my hand. There's something wrong now tell me what it is."
She looked down at her feet. Her voice started to crack like she was about to cry. "Promise that you won't go crazy?" Was the first thing she asked.
Troy saw that the way she was about to cry that something was wrong. "I promise."
She looked back down at her feet. " Troy…" She began. She tried to say it but it wasn't coming out she hadn't actually said it out loud before.
"Gabriella what is it?" He asked again, but this time he was more eager.
"Troy I think I'm pregnant."
Just than those five words changed his whole life around. He regretted ever asking her what was the matter. Since then he'd done a lot of thinking about the future. He just needed to know if it was true or not.
She walked inside the room with her head down. She sat on the bed and let out a small cry. "I'm pregnant."
