The homeroom bell chimed and students scurried to their homerooms. Gabriella Montez and her best friend of two months, Taylor McKessie, happily skipped into Ms. Darbus's classroom. "There's Troy," teased Taylor, nudging Gabriella.
"What about him?" asked Gabriella. She knew what Taylor meant. She had been crushing hard on the Wildcat superstar, Troy Bolton, for two months. They were this close to sharing a passionate kiss when Chad Danforth, Taylor's boyfriend, just had to give Troy the game ball at that particular moment. Ever since their kiss was interrupted both Troy and Gabriella were too shy to make another move.
"Go flirt with him!" advised Taylor. Gabriella sighed heavily.
"Taylor, how many times do I have to tell you? We are just friends." explained Gabriella, emphasizing on the "just friends."
"Right," said Taylor. "Girl, I can see right through you! Go talk to him!" she cried, pushing Gabriella towards Troy. Taylor had used so much force that Gabriella face landed in Troy's lap.
"Taylor, I am going to kill you!" Gabriella yelled. She looked up to see Troy looking down at her with his sparkling blue eyes. "Uh, hi Troy!" she stuttered. "Sorry I…fell in your lap."
"That's okay," responded Troy, helping the girl up. "So um…I was wondering…uh…do want to—" Troy was interrupted by Sharpay shoving Gabriella to the side. The ice princess took a seat on Troy's desk and flashed him a winning smile.
Sharpay chuckled, "Hi, Troy!" Troy had a look of disgust on his face, making Gabriella laugh.
"My friends Alicia and Charlotte are holding a gala dinner this Friday, would you like to be my date?" questioned Sharpay, batting her long eyelashes that were drenched in mascara.
"Thanks for the offer Sharpay, but I'm really busy this weekend." explained Troy.
"Oh really doing what?" Sharpay asked.
"Uh, you know…stuff." said Troy. He looked at Gabriella for help. Gabriella shrugged and pondered for a short moment.
"He's going to be…out." Gabriella lied. She knew that besides the basketball game, Troy had no other plans.
"Out doing what?" Sharpay questioned sternly.
"He's going to be on a date with me!" shrieked Gabriella. What did I just say? she thought.
"I am?" asked Troy. He coughed, "I mean, I am."
"Fine," scoffed Sharpay. "Maybe some other time," she said, planting a kiss on his lips. She returned to her seat and smiled. Troy Bolton is so going to be mine, she thought.
As soon as the bell rang, Troy raced to the nearest water fountain, Gabriella quickly following. "Blek! That was disgusting!" he yelped. Gabriella chuckled. "Thanks for saving me in there," said Troy.
"It's no problem," replied Gabriella, blushing.
"Bolton! Montez!" snapped Principal Matsui. He had a stern expression on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Matsui?" Gabriella asked nervously. She had never been in trouble before.
Principal Matsui's scary look turned into a perky grin. "How would you two like to be the hosts of our new radio advice show, 'He Said, She Said.' Are you interested?"
"What is it?" questioned Troy. And why would the principal want him to give advice?
"It's a teen advice show for East High. Students can call in during free period and get advice from a girl's point of view, and a boy's point of view." explained the principal.
"But why us?" asked Gabriella. She honestly thought it was a great idea. She would get to spend a whole period with Troy! But Troy didn't seem too interested so she decided to act uninterested too.
"Because you two have such great chemistry! The student body would love to see our newest theatrical talents hit the radio!" cheered Principal Matsui.
Troy sighed, "I'm not sure." Gabriella frowned, it had sounded like so much fun.
But I would get to spend a whole period with Gabriella, he thought. "I'm in!" he cried.
Gabriella eyes sparkled. "Okay, I'm in too!" she squealed.
"Great, you start tomorrow." the principal informed. "The front office, 11:00, on the dot!" he cried, returning back to his office.
A/N: How is it? Is it bad? Is it good? Should I continue? Please review, no flames!
I am planning on making this a short story, kind of like a three-shot or a four-shot.
