A/N: This is my second story from High School Musical
Summary: Gabriella and Troy are purely just friends. Gabriella and Sharpay have become really good friends. Sharpay likes Troy and has asked Gabriella to get them together. This may be hard since, Troy doesn't like her. As Gabriella goes on her adventure to get them together, she discovers hidden feelings for Troy. Will they affect any friendships?
It was Friday, after school. Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Zeke, Sharpay, and Ryan were all hanging out on the bench, outside of school. "So what should we do this weekend?" Chad asked, arm around Taylor's waist. Chad and Taylor had been dating ever since after the Wild Cats had one the Championship and her and Gabriella won the decathlon. Zeke and Sharpay were just friends. You could tell they had a thing for each other, the way they looked into each other's eyes, and laughed at each other's jokes. Nobody said anything though. Gabriella and Troy were merely friends. He had almost kissed her after the Championship, but Chad interrupted. Troy maybe has a little crush on her but he doesn't show it what so ever.
"I don't know. Maybe we can hang at the mall. See a movie." Gabriella suggested
"Yeah, or go to the skate park!" Chad chimed in.
"Um, yeah, I don't think so!" Sharpay said, sarcastically.
"Just a suggestion!" Chad quickly said, innocently.
"I won 7 tickets to the All Bands Concert. I just forgot to tell you guys." Ryan said.
"Oh my god, are you serious?" Gabriella said, surprised. Ryan nodded.
"Sounds good. When is it?" Taylor asked.
"Tomorrow night." Ryan said. "Sorry, I didn't tell you guys earlier. It just kind of slipped my mind."
"Alright, well I got o split." Troy said. Troy started skateboarding away. "Bye!" He yelled behind him. They all waved bye. Chad kissed Taylor and said he would see her tomorrow.
When Troy got home, he took a quick shower. He was so excited to go to the concert. It would be so much fun. When he got out of the shower, it was time for dinner.
"So. Mom, dad?" His parents looked up, as they were sitting at the dinner table in front of their food. "I was wondering if I could go with my friends to a concert tomorrow night?"
"Well, Hun, what time is it at?" His mom asked.
"Ryan didn't say, but I heard over the radio that it's at 8:30. Is that okay?"
"It' okay with me." She said. "I don't know, Troy. You've been hanging out a lot lately with your friends. I think that we need to practice on your free-throws." His dad said, sipping his water.
"But, dad! I have to go. All my friends are going, and my free-throws are fine!" Troy argued.
"Come on, Jack. Let him go." Mrs. Bolton whispered. "He barely goes out with all this practice."
"Alright, alright, alright. You can go, but come home right after it. Oh yeah, and don't talk to any strangers."
Troy started to get up and put his dishes in the sink.
"And, don't take any drugs or alcohol." His dad mentioned. "Okay dad, I'll be fine." Troy protested, going up the stairs, to his room. "And, don't give anyone your number! Are you even listening to me!" His dad yelled up the stairs. "Jack, he'll be fine. Just sit back down and eat your dinner." Mrs. Bolton laughed, as she cleared the table.
It was around 9:45 a.m., and Gabriella lay in her bed, just waking up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She reached out to her bedside table to answer the phone.
"Hello?" Her voice was hoarse, since she just woke up.
"Hey, girl!" It was Taylor. 'What time does she wake up? She sounds cheery.'
"It's 9:45. Why are you calling this early?" Gabriella asked.
"Sorry, but we need to start shopping bright and early!" Taylor exclaimed.
"Huh?" Gabriella asked.
"We're going to that concert remember? Did you even ask your mom yet?" Taylor asked.
"Uh, yeah. She said yes, but I have good enough clothes to wear to the con-" She was interrupted.
"Um, yeah, so Sharpay and I will meet you at the mall, okay. Bye!" Taylor hung up.
When Gabriella got up, she took a shower and got dressed in dark blue jeans and a pink tank top. "Gabriella! Come down for breakfast, sweetie!" Ms. Montez called from downstairs. "Okay mom, I'll be down in a minute!" Gabriella called back. She took her cell phone, and dialed Troy's number. Her and Taylor were like best friends but her and Troy were like best friends in a different kind of way. Maybe it was because he was a boy. That couldn't be it. Who knows? It rang a couple of times.
"Hey, Gabriella." He answered.
"Hey! So what's up?" She asked.
"Nothing much. I could give you a ride to the concert." He suggested.
"So your parents said yes?" She asked.
"My mom did, but my dad was a little skeptical. But he eventually said yes." Troy said.
"He's way too over protective." He added.
"I know, but he cares about you, Troy." She said. "He means no harm."
"You know what, your a great friend! Your so understanding." He said. She giggled.
"So do you want me to give you a ride or not?" He asked, getting serious, but still joking.
"Yeah, that'd be great." She said. "Well I got to go eat, or my mom will stat getting angry!" They laughed. "Okay bye." Troy said and hung up the phone.
