Gabriella Montez squirmed and giggled, trying to get away

"Troy Bolton!" She screeched. "Stooop!" She spat out in a laugh.

Troy grinned and pulled his hands away from her sides and stopped tickling her. He looked at her innocently and held his hands up in surrender.

"What? I wasn't doing anything?"

She rolled her eyes "Yeah, and I'm Houdini The Great."

He widened his eyes in fake surprise "What?!" He shouted out "Since when?!"

She rolled her eyes for the second time "Oh, shut up." She giggled slightly at him.

He fake glared at her "Well, you know you shouldn't have take the ball away from me."

She gave him those big brown puppy dog eyes of hers "But, I just wanted two drow da ball, Twoy." She said giving him the best baby impression she could.

Troy groaned slightly. No not those eyes. Those big gorgeous chocola -. He stopped his train of thought. No Troy! He scolded himself silently. She doesn't think of you like that and you know it. He erased those thought from his mind and proceeded to help her.

"Okay, take the ball in your hands like this." He said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her sides grabbing onto her hands over the ball.

Gabriella took in a sharp breath at the feeling of Troy's hot breath on her neck. She gave a slight shiver. She and Troy had played ball together so many times before. But, you weren't supposed to have these types of feelings for your best friend, were you?

"You put your hands like this." Troy said from behind her and he situated her hands on the ball in the correct position. "Now, bend your knees so you're bent slightly."

She did as she was told. As she did so, because Troy was so close to her, her ass gently pressed up against his manhood. Troy felt it and slightly groaned at the feeling, not thinking Gabriella could hear it. But, unfortunately, she did. She spun her head around to look at him with a puzzled look

"You okay?" She asked him, curiously.

Troy nodded his head and her a sincere smile. "I'm fine. Just shoot the ball, Gabs."

Her heart melted at the pet nickname he had called her since the first day they met. She remembered that day so well…

Flashback

Gabriella Montez sat in the middle of the room by herself, playing with the red and blue legos scattered on the floor, her dark chestnut brown curls spread over her shoulders. Suddenly a boy came up and sat by her.

"Can I play with you?" He asked with a smile, one of his two front teeth missing.

She smiled at him "Sure. I'm Gabriella."

He wrinkled his nose at her "That's a hard name to say. I'm gonna call you Gabs."

She giggled in agreement "Okay. What's your name?"

The little boy smiled at her "My name's Troy. Wanna be best friends?" He asked her

"Yes. Best friends. Forever."

"Forever and ever?""Yeah, forever and ever."

End of flashback

"Gabs?" Troy called "Gabs?!" "GABS!"

Gabriella jumped "Huh?" Not realizing Troy was waving his hand in front of her face, trying to get her attention. A slight blush crept over her cheeks

"Sorry. I was just thinking."

He laughed "I see that. Now shoot the ball."She rolled her eyes at his impatience, even though she knew he was just kidding. She bent her knees slightly and situated her hands the way he showed her and threw the ball. Whoosh! The ball made it into the basket. She let out a squeal with her hands in the air as she turned around to him. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist picking her up and spinning her around. She laughed

"Troy! Put me down!" She tried to push out of his grasp. As she did they both fell to the ground laughing. She fell on top of him, her body pressed tightly against his. She smiled down at him and kissed his cheek

"What was that for?" He asked her

"For helping me back the basket." She said softly at him.

"It was nothing ..really." He said.

She placed both of her hands on top of his chest, one on top of the other and set her chin on top so she could look up at him.

"But, it was something." She smiled brightly at him.

Troy couldn't help but just stare at her "Gabs, I -."

He stopped short and just stared at her

She cocked her head to the side at looked at him. Her eyes went straight to his lips. I wonder what it would be like to kiss him. She thought to herself. Her eyes went back up to his beautiful ice blue ones.

"Gabs, I…" He started again. He started to lean down to kiss her

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! He's going to kiss me! Gabriella thought excitedly.

So what do you guys think? I know it wasn't very long but it was my very first story. As I make more they're get longer, I PROMISE! Should I continue? Should Gabs and Troy kiss? Or should something interrupt them and make the story more complicated? Constructive critisism is appreciated, as are compliments. Review, please? :)
