Gabriella sighed, looking out the window, she was in a bad mood, her best friend; Troy Bolton was not talking to her. She hardly knew why they had drifted so far apart. She only knew that she missed him way more than usual, which sent her in utter despair. She did not know why, but suddenly the shrill voice of the English teacher interrupted her thoughts.

"Ms.montez, I would appreciate that you pay attention in class."

"Sorry Ms.Anderson" she replied quickly. Troy was in the same class and shot her a worried look. Gabriella saw this and mouthed "Thinking" while pointing a pencil at her head while Ms.Anderson wasn't looking.

As soon as the lunch bell rang, Troy made his way over to Gabriella, and started to poke her. "Please stop." said Gabriella. She did not know that it was Troy poking her, so he kept on doing it until she put her head up to reveal bloodshot eyes. Troy finally gave up on poking her and just stared at her. "What?" she asked still letting him stare at her bloodshot eyes. She started to walk to her locker, and when she finally got there, she heard him talk.

"So…. what happened to your eyes?"

"Their bloodshot, just in case you haven't noticed" she snapped.

"Whoa! Since when do you snap at people?" he asked rather jokingly.

"I don't, I just felt like it today. I just woke up today and said hey why don't I snap at somebody at lunch?" she replied sarcastically.

"What is wrong with you today Gabriella!" Troy shouted.

"It isn't just today! It has been like this the last month and a half!" she shouted back.

"That was the triple win!"

"Exactly!"

Troy suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He stood there speechless. He did not know what to say. He had been wanting to ask her out for a while now but never had the guts to.

"I should have never met you" Gabriella mumbled while starting to walk away. Suddenly, Troy grabbed her waist and turned her around. "WHAT!!!" Gabriella screamed in his face. She finally realized how close they were, and started to breathe in short breaths. Troy noticed and started to talk after a while. "You know you are hardly breathing right?" Troy asked while smirking. "And you find this funny, why?" Gabriella answered rather coldly.

"Your just a big joke" she said coldly. She was about to walk away again when he grabbed her arm.

"What-" before she could answer he grabbed her and kissed her. When they pulled back Troy said, "Be my girlfriend?" hopefully.

Gabriella kissed him again.

"Of course"
