A/n: Okay, I'm obsessed with this song called Out Of My League by Stephen Speaks, so I decided to write a Troyella one-shot about it.

Disclaimer: I find it annoying to write these things all the time, but I do not own High School Musical or any of its characters. There, Fanfiction, happy?!

Okay, Troy, just take a deep breath.

I've asked this question before...just not to someone I've had such genuine and strong love for...The worst she could say is no...but that could make our friendship awkward...Maybe I shouldn't take the risk...but then again, I can't go on like this...hiding my feelings for her. Last time she smiled, I almost blurted out my feelings to her... She just got out of her relationship with Ray a month ago. Back then, when she smiled I got a bittersweet feeling in my stomach...just the thought that another guy was seeing her...that some other guy had the ability to make her smile...to give her butterflies in her stomach...to make her forget all of her troubles...everything she had the ability to do to me...That's it...I've got to do it...I will do it...

It's her hair and her eyes today
That just simply take me away
And the feeling that I'm falling further in love
Makes me shiver but in a good way

Troy quietly walked towards Gabriella's locker, his body over-flowing with all kinds of emotions, his mind racing faster than he could dribble a basketball.

All the times I have sat and stared
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
With me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

Then, he saw her opening her locker. She looked as beautiful as ever, with her chocolate-brown hair, bright brown eyes, and dazzling smile. How could someone be so perfect?

Cuz I love her with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands
Cuz she's all that I see and she's all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again

Troy couldn't believe how wonderful she was: smart, talented, kind, understanding, and funny.He loved her more than he could have everfound the words to say.
It's a master for melody when she calls out my name to me
As the world spins around her she laughs, rolls her eyes
and I feel like I'm falling but it's no surprise

Drats! When Troy finally realized he and Gabriella weren't the only ones there, he noticed Taylor talking to her.

Cuz I love her with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands
Cuz it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
But I'd rather be here than on land
Yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again

"Gabriella, can I talk to you in private?"

It's her hair and her eyes today
That just simply take me away
And the feeling that I'm falling further in love
Makes me shiver but in a good way

"Sure."

All the times I have sat and stared
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
With me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

Troy took a deep breath. Just go for it.

Cuz I love her with all that I am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but I'd rather be here than on land
yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need
and I'm out of my league once again

"Gabriella...will you go on a date with me?"
