Skeptical
Chapter 1:
They had done it; they had all made it through college together. Now they were celebrating graduation. It was the first time the gang had been all together in over a year. They were all having a small get together at Sharpay and Zeke's apartment.
"Hey Gabi!" Jason called. Gabriella turned around, and gave her friend a warm hug. "How have you been?"
"Great. How about you? Married life treating you and Kelsi well?" Jason nodded. He and Kelsi had gotten married just over a year ago, in April.
"Things are going really well. It'll be less chaotic now that school's over, which will be nice." Gabriella nodded in agreement. "So you all settled in at Troy's?"
"Almost. We're putting some of our stuff in storage, and going to sort through it this summer."
"Sounds like fun." Gabriella rolled her eyes, and took a sip o f the can of beer in her hand.
"If you think that it sounds like so much fun, then you can help."
"Sorry, no. I'm busy all summer."
"Sure you are," Gabriella replied sarcastically.
Later that evening, the entire gang was gathered around talking and laughing loudly. Suddenly, Troy leaned over and kissed Gabriella' cheek.
"I love you," he whispered, causing her to smile. It was those little things that he did, like buying her flowers for no reason at all, that she loved. Troy turned to face Gabriella. "Hey baby, could I talk to you?" Gabriella looked confused.
"Here?" Taylor nudged Sharpay with her foot.
"Right here, right now." Everyone turned their attention to the couple; they all knew that was going on. "I love you, Gabi."
"I love you too."
"And I know we've taken a big step by living together, but I think we can go a step farther." Troy slid off the couch onto one knee, and pulled a ring out of his pocket. Tears flowed freely down Gabriella's face. "Gabriella, will you marry me?" Gabriella was speechless; all she could do was nod. Their friends clapped and cheered as Troy slid the ring on her finger. Then, he kissed her passionately.
"Congratulations!" Sharpay announced. Gabriella smiled, and wrapped her arms around Troy's neck after he sat next to her. She was getting married!
That evening, Troy and Gabriella's lips were locked the second they got home. Rather ungracefully, the stumbled into their bedroom, and onto the bed. After a heavy make-out session, the couple fell asleep in each other's arms. Well, Troy fell asleep. Gabriella couldn't fall asleep. She kept staring at her engagement ring. It was a diamond cut in a circle with a gold band. Simple, yet gorgeous. She dismissed the feeling she had in the pit of her stomach, reluctance, smiled, and cuddled closer to Troy, her fiancé, and promptly fell asleep.
A/N: Sorry it's so short! The next chapters will be longer…promise! This is going to be a short story. I know exactly how many chapters there are going to be, what happens in each chapter, and how it ends. I hope you like it! Reviews are like chocolate…I like chocolate.
