Impression

Chapter 1

After Gabriella and Troy started to be a couple…He felt good and a little bad around her, because he isn't smart as Gabriella Montez. He knew that wasn't actually a problem, but he wants to impress her not only with being the leader of basketball team or the fact that he is the most popular guy at East High. Troy wants that Gabriella would notice him more of the serious side as knowledge, thought he doesn't want to turn to nerdy-type of guy. It wouldn't be cool! He has reputation to hold on to. After all Troy is basically the king of East High and everybody loves him. Basketball is his life and as it turned out theatre along the way is his second hobby, where he enjoys singing with his beloved Gabriella.

So he thought and thought hard… Troy thought that actually he and Gabriella are kind of even, but not exactly. Sports and knowledge are completely different fields. So he got rid of that thought quite quickly that Gabriella doesn't know much about basketball. He more thought; how to get smarter and impress his girlfriend with some interesting facts etc.

So his first idea was that he could study with his girlfriend, but Troy shrugged off the thought, because he knew that his weakness for Gabriella is quite insane and he probably can't help it; instead of studying… Troy would probably be making out with her and that won't be good!

So his second idea was to hire a private teacher, but they ask for money. Troy just can't allow that his parents would know about this. So his third idea was to get help from Taylor, she's smart and can keep a secret, so it'll be just perfect.

And as long as he won't get caught by Chad or just about anybody else from East High, it'll be just fine.

It was another day at school and, when lessons were over Gabriella asked Troy

"Are you ready to go to see a movie?"

"Sorry Gabriella, I can't today. I need to practice for the next basketball game." Troy said to her a half lie.

"It's okay, I understand. Maybe next time?"

"Aw, Gabi…I know you're disappointed, but I promise, I'll make it up to you!" And he gave a sweet kiss onto her lips.

"You better be, Wildcat!" She said friendly and with the smile on her face.

"I love you!"

"Tambien te amo!" replied Gabriella in Spanish 'I love you too!'

And they shared another short yet sweet kiss then they a parted and then Troy caught up with Taylor, when he made sure Gabriella left the scene.

"Hey Taylor!"

"What's up Troy?!"

"You can keep secrets, right?"

"That's, what people say about me. And as far as I know it's true. Why?"

"Good!" Troy paused for a moment, then continued "Taylor, I need your help. I want to impress Gabriella with something…And I was wondering would you not tell anybody this for asking you to help me out with the stuff you know?"

"Sure I won't tell, but what did you meant by 'stuff you know?'"

"Well school stuff, knowledge about everything you know…" Troy felt uncomfortable about this.

"Hold on the second! You want to impress Gabriella by showing, how smart you are?"

Troy looked on his feet and replied "Well…Yeah!"

"No Way! I never would have believed that one day Troy Bolton would come to me with such a request. After all you're cool and don't you think it's better stick with the stuff you already know?"

"Taylor, I know, how people see me and I am even kind of happy for that. But under this cool guy is much more than just the Captain of the basketball team. Just remember the fact, how I started to show interest on theatre and music and singing."

"That's true, you can surprise me even now! So let's go."

"You mean now? You are going to make me smarter, now?"

"You want to wait?"

"Uh, no! I just didn't expect such a quick answer."

"Well today is your lucky day, Troy! Common…"

And so they went to Taylors place and Troy felt like it was starting of something new and he hoped to get smarter soon enough.

What a guy in love won't do for the girl, he truly cares about!
