Beyond Love

Love. A simple four letter word that was anything but simple. It caused so many emotions in a person it was hard to keep track of them all. But when you find "the one," love is an understatement and everyone around them knew it. They were the "it" couple of East High even if they tried to deny it. They were both beyond gorgeous and beyond words.

You wouldn't see one without the other. Their hands were constantly intertwined. Their lips constantly attached. And smiles never left their faces. If you watched closely from a distance you would see the constant whispered I love yous or the love that spilled from their eyes whenever they would meet. What they had was truly breathtaking and if threatened, suicidal for the intruder.

Today was like any other day. They stood at their lockers, hands locked, eyes never wandering from the other, completely focused on the person they loved more than life itself. But Gabriella wasn't so sure. Something felt different, not right, and she had been quiet the moment she walked into school.

"Gabby, baby, are you okay?" he whispered since their friends were all around. She looked up at him and he could see the unease on her face.

"I'm fine." she said as she looked back down. Troy slowly took his hand under her chin and raised her face to his once again and kissed her softly.

"Please tell me what's wrong. You've been so quiet."

"Its just…something doesn't feel right. I don't know. I don't wanna sound stupid its just that, today is different somehow…I probably sound crazy." She kept rambling quietly to herself and he just watched with amusement as she debated with herself on what to say next.

"Gabby…Gabby…look at me." Once she did she immediately stopped talking. Something in his eyes always did that. She was calm and could finally collect her thoughts. "Look if something is wrong I can take you home if you want. I'm sure your mom wont mind if we say you felt sick or something"

"No Troy, ill be fine but thank you. I think Im just being paranoid as usual. Come on lets go to class because you if your late again Darbus will definitely not hesitate to give you detention." He agreed but looked at her carefully one more time before he placed his hand in hers and walked her to class.

"Good morning students. I hope you all had a splendid weekend but now its time for another cherished week of learning here at East High. First things first. Danforth put that football down or I will personally remove it from you and use it as a prop in our next show."

Chad immediately made a disgusted face and carefully placed the ball under the desk while the whole class laughed at his emotional attachment to his basketball.

"Now as I was saying. NO CELLPHONES. Period. If I hear one you will immediately get it taken off of you and be given a detention which can be served in the drama department." She continued to ramble on while the class just looked at her like she was crazy…which was seriously debated at the beginning of the school year.

Troy was getting bored of staring out the window so he finally let his eyes wander around the room until they landed upon his girlfriend of 2 years. He immediately smiled as he watched her hum something under her breath and draw no doubt little hearts with their initials in them. Every notebook she owned had her signature drawing.

The more he watched her, the more he fell in love with her if that was even possible. She had walked into his life a little over 2 years ago and what they had was like nothing that could be expressed in a book or movie. Their love was indescribable.

Every time she walked into the room his breath would hitch in his throat. A smile would form on his face and the butterflies would go crazy in his stomach. When she left he felt empty because she filled his entire being. Without her, he was nothing. It was a bold statement to make considering he was still in high school but he without a doubt knew she was meant for him.

Their hands fit perfectly into each others and a spark ran through his entire body when they touched. When their eyes met, the world stopped moving. It was just them in their own little world. She was perfect, for him and only him. And he couldn't wait for the day that she would agree to be with him for the rest of their lives.

He continued to stare and guessed she felt eyes on her when she stopped drawing and started to look around the room until they met his and finally noticed him watching her. She slowly smirked and started writing a note which she then tore off and then handed to the person in front of her to pass to Troy.

Troy looked up to make sure Darbus was still giving her life lecture for the day and then unfolded the note carefully. Dear Troy, I think we need to catch up on lost time since this morning I was so distracted. Meet me at our spot at lunch and ill make it up to you ;) Love Gabby

P.S. Make sure you lock the door when you come up…we'll need the privacy

Troy swallowed instantly and then looked up to watch her slowly turn around with a big smile on her face. Two could play that game. Teasing was always one of her top priorities but he loved every second of it because the outcome was always worth it. As he started to day dream about what would happen in a few hours an alarm went off halting all of his dirty thoughts about his girlfriend.

He watched as Gabby tensed up along with the rest of the student body in his class. That wasn't the fire alarm. That was the one the school had recently bought to signal an intruder in the school. Darbus stopped talking and ran to the door to close and lock it. She carefully pulled down the blind to hide her classroom for the hallway window. She made her way to the front of the classroom "Alright class I'm going to need everyone to remain calm."

Gabby and Troy locked eyes in a heated stare and sent a message to each other without words. Troy instantly regretted not taking her home when he had the chance. She was right.

If anything happened to her today he would never forgive himself…..
