Soaring Together
A Troy and Gabriella Story
By Natasha Montain
Hey guys, I do NOT own High School Musical. I'm just a fan.
This first chapter will be a little short!
.:Chapter One:.
"Troy, I'm so glad I met you." Gabriella said as the two of them sat on the roof of the school, watching the stars appear in the sky. The excitement had died down since the Wildcats took the victory of the championship game. They could hear a few people still filing out of the parking lot, and some students ran down the streets carrying signs and cheering.
Troy turned to face her. "So am I. It's so weird, do you think that we were destined to meet, Gabriella?"
She raised her eyebrow, and then laughed.
"What? Did that sound totally corny or something?" he asked.
"No, it was sweet, and sincere. Just, coming from you…a sweaty basketball star and all…it just seemed more of a fairytale-like thing to say.
"Oh? Well, I do have a spontaneous dreamy side that comes out once in a while." They laughed together, and then she slipped her hand into his.
"I do think so though, Troy. I mean, what chances are there, that two people meet in a different country on vacation, and they end up going to the same school afterward? And the singing…there's something about the way we sing together. I feel different, like I can do anything when I'm with you. Like, I can be anything I want to be."
He squeezed her hand, reassuring her he would always be there. Her head on his shoulder, they sat in silence for a while. There were only a few cars left in the parking lot when they made their way down the stairs and through the school. A janitor was running a broom across the gym floor, and half of the lights were off. They got into Troy's car and he drove out of the parking lot and across town to their neighborhood. The car stopped in front of Gabriella's house, and Troy walked her to the door.
"Well, I'll see you Monday, unless you want to get together this weekend." Troy said, hoping his hint would be acknowledged.
Gabriella nodded. "I'm free tomorrow, but Sunday I'm heading out of town to visit family."
"Good!" Troy realized how thrilled he was coming across. Looking down, he shifted his foot. "I'll call you tomorrow then."
"Alright! Bye Troy." She turned to the door.
"Bye Gabriella. Oh, wait" he said, she paused and turned.
"Great job today." He said.
Gabriella smiled. "Thanks, you too. See you tomorrow."
"Bye." Troy walked to his car as Gabriella opened her door.
"I'm home, mom!" she shouted as she ran up to her room. Troy had just started his car, when she got to her bedroom window. She hummed the song they had sung together as she watched him drive away.
