Still Feels Good

Gabriella walked outside, only to notice a new set of neighbors moving in next door. She decided to walk over and introduce herself. She walked up the driveway and saw a boy with dirty blonde hair trying to lift up a mattress. Gabriella ran over to help him pick it up, she grabbed the other end and hoisted it up.

"Thanks." The boy from the other side called out as they made their way up the stair in the house. They turned into a room and dropped the mattress and leaned it against the wall. The boy looked up and Gabriella's breath hitched at the sight of his deep blue eyes, he walked over to her.

"Troy Bolton." He said sticking his hand out.

"Gabriella Montez." She replied with a smile.

"Thanks for helping me with the mattress." He said.

"No problem." Gabriella said gazing into his amazing eyes.

"Troy! Where are you?" A man's voice rang out through the house.

"I'm in here dad!" Troy yelled out never breaking the gaze that they were both holding.

"Hey do you know where-" The man looked up from his hands to see his son talking to beautiful girl. "Umm, never mind."

"Hi Mr. Bolton, I'm Gabriella Montez. I'm your neighbor." Gabriella said extending her hand.

"Nice to meet you Gabriella." He said giving her a courteous nod. "Umm, Troy why don't you go ahead and leave. We can get the rest."

"Are you sure?" Troy asked skeptically.

"I can show you around if you like." Gabriella piped in.

Troy looked over at Gabriella and smiled, "Yeah I would."

"Great! I'll meet you out by my car." Gabriella said running out and down the stairs.

"Be back by 9." Mr. Bolton said with a knowing smirk.

Troy grinned and ran out of the room and down the stairs meeting Gabriella by her car. "Hop in." She said opening the driver side door and climbing in while Troy did the same. Gabriella pulled out of the driveway and started driving down the street.

There's a place in your heart nobody's been
Take me there
Things nobody knows, not even your friends
Take me there
Tell me about your mama, your daddy, your hometown
Show me around, I want to see it all

As they were driving Troy decided to speak up, "So I know your name and that you're my neighbor, but I know absolutely nothing about you." He said in a teasing voice.

"What do you wanna know?" She asked glancing at him briefly before returning her eyes to the road.

"Your mom…your dad…Albuquerque…" He said drifting off.

"Well my mom is a doctor at the local hospital so she works crazy hours, my dad travels a lot for his company, and Albuquerque is amazing…I love it here." She said with a content smile on her face. After a brief silence Gabriella decided to speak up. "So since I'm showing you around what all do you wanna see?" She asked.

"I want to see it all." Troy said looking out the window admiring the scenery passing by.

Don't leave anything out
I wanna know everything about you then
And I want to go down every road
you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there

"Anything else you wanna know?" Gabriella asked trying to make Troy feel as comfortable around her as she can.

Troy turned to look at her, "I wanna know everything about you, I want to know you wishes, hopes, and dreams. I want to know something about your life that you keep hidden. I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare." Troy said blushing at his confidence with the last comment.

Gabriella blushed at Troy's compliment. "Well my dream is to become a renowned scientist, I wanna discover something that will make an impact on the world." Gabriella said passionately. "The one thing that I keep hidden from everyone, is that I love to sing. And for the record Troy, I think you're really attractive." Gabriella said refusing to make eye contact with him.

Troy blushed. Troy couldn't believe that he could feel this comfortable with someone he just met and didn't really know that much about.

Your first real kiss, your first true love
You were scared
Show me where you learned about life,
spent your summer nights
Without a care
I wanna roll down Main Street, the back roads,
like you did when you were a kid, what made you who you are
Tell me what your story is

Troy cleared his throat, "So who was your first kiss?" He asked trying to make conversation.

"Ummm…Jared Halloway. 7 minutes in heaven." Gabriella said with a giggle, "You?"

"Kelly Day. She attacked me in kindergarten." Troy said with a throaty laugh.

"First true love?" Gabriella asked cautiously.

"Haven't been in love yet. You?" Troy asked.

"Same." Gabriella said contently.

"When was the last time you were scared?" Troy asked.

"Me and my group of friends went to go see the Decent in theaters and then the next day we went on the mountain and they dragged me into a cave as a joke. I was freaking out." Gabriella said while laughing. "You?"

"About an hour ago." Troy said softly.

Gabriella looked at him briefly, "Why?"

"I was afraid I wouldn't make any friends here." Troy said.

"Well you've already made one so no need to worry." Gabriella said resting her hand over his, giving him a soft smile.

Troy swallowed hard as he felt her hand over his, "So how did you spend your summer nights?" Troy asked trying to keep the game they had started going.

"Working at the country club as a life guard. You?" Gabriella asked.

"Basketball camp." Troy said with a shrug.

Gabriella sent Troy a smile, "Why don't I drive you down Main Street and then I can show you the back roads."

"Sounds good, that way I can get to know more about you." Troy said lacing their fingers together with confidence. "I wanna know everything about you." Troy said with a smile.

I wanna know everything about you then
And I want to go down every road
you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there

Yeah, I wanna know everything about you
Yeah, everything about you baby
I wanna go down every road you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I want to know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take, me, take me, take me there
Oh, I wanna roll down Main Street
I wanna know your hopes and your dreams
Take me, take me there-yeah
