Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez are best friends since 2nd grate. Because that was when Gabriella moved to Albuquerque. The Bolton family were her neighbors.

It's Thursday.

Troy rings Gabriella's doorbell. That's what he does every morning to pick her up to go to school.

'I'm coming!' Gabriella shouted while she rushes down the stairs.

Troy chuckles. That's how it goes every day. She opens the door and then she asks him if he want to come inside because she isn't ready yet. Then after she's done doing her make-up or something else they sit downstairs in de living room talking for half an hour and then they have to hurry because they don't want to be late.

Gabriella opens the door and steps on to the porch. Troy looks at her surprised.

'Did you finish your hair and make-up yet?' He asks her a little surprised but also teasing her.

'Haha! Very funny wildcat! It's not that I spend half an hour to do my hair and make-up!'

'No of course not, how could I even think it' He says sarcastically.

She hits him playfully at his chest.

'Now get in the damn car and drive me to school already!' She says laughing.

'Alright, I'm on my way! Have to be somewhere Montez?' He says laughing while starting the car.

'No, I just don't want to be late…. Again'

'Well, you can't blame me! You are the one that spends usually too much time doing your make-up or whatever you're doing upstairs and then you want to talk to me about nothing, and then, yeah, we're late for school. But of course I can't blame you, 'cause who doesn't want to talk to me. Troy Bolton' He says chuckling.

'Well mister ego, I will not talk to you then tomorrow' she says while putting a cheeky smile on her face. She knows that he couldn't live without it.

'No, no, no! Please don't torture me like that. You were right, it was my fault. Please keep talking to me!'

'That's just what I wanted to hear!' She says laughing.

'Ow you're gonna pay for that Montez, right when I parked my car!' He parks his car and prints out of his door to the passenger's seat and opens the door and tickles Gabriella.

'TROY! STOP IT!' She tries to come out of his grip, but he is to strong.

'Uh-uh , say it! Say Troy Bolton is the hottest boy I know and he doesn't deserve to be tortured like how I did. So I apologize to him for that!'

'NEVER!'

'Say it!'

'Okay! Troy Bolton is the hottest boy I know and he doesn't deserve to be tortured like how I did. So I apologize to him for that'

'Now that wasn't that hard!'

'O, you don't know how hard that was for me!' She says to tease him.

'You want another tickle session Montez?'

'No! I'm sorry!'

'Good girl.' He laughs while walking into the school carrying his and Gabriella's books.

-----------------------------------

'Look we have here, the two lovebirds who don't want to admit they like each other.' Chad says while doing a weird handshake with Troy and hugs Gabriella.

'Yeah okay Chad, enough!' Troy says laughing trying not to show that Chad kinda revealed his secret that only he knows.

Taylor and Sharpay walk over to them.

'Well at least he says something truthfully.' Taylor says shrugging and hugging Gabriella after Sharpay.

'You two hello too and also enough' Gabriella says laughing uncomfortably because she knows they're right but they don't know. And she's pretty sure Troy doesn't feel it so she plans it to stay like it is.

'Yeah well that may be, but then why is he carrying his and your books would be my question.' Sharpay says.

'Guys please stop okay, it's not new I carry her books to so please don't make a big deal of it en just stop talking about it. Anybody any news?'

'Yeah, we have extra BB-practice during free-period.' Chad says.

'Okay.'

The bell rings

'Okay by guys, bye Troy.' Gabriella gives Troy a kiss on the cheek and then walks off.

'No sure there's nothing going on between you and Gabby dude.' Chad says sarcastically. 'See you later man. Bye Shar, bye Tay.' He gives Taylor a quick wink and then walks off too.

'O and you were gonna say there's nothing going on between you and Chad, Tay…?' Troy chuckles. 'Bye, see you at lunch.' Troy walks off and Taylor and Sharpay walk also to their classes.

-------------------------------------

At lunch time.

'Hey captain, what's up man!' Chad says while walking towards Troy.

'Hey man, nothing, I'm good.' Troy says back.

'Good, any news on the Gabriella front?'

'Dude, I swear. If you're keeping on doing that I'm really gonna be pissed off!' Troy says a little annoyed.

'I'm sorry Troy. It's just that it's so obvious, that she likes you to! Just so you know.' And with that they walk to their table where they always sit during Lunch. The girls are already there.

------------------------------------

With the girls (they don't know that the boys can hear them.)

'So Gabs, any news on the Troy front?' Sharpay asks excited.

'Please, stop asking that Shar! It really isn't funny anymore!' Gabby replays a little annoyed.

'Why does everybody have to ask that! Can't I just have a really good friend from the opposite sex and maybe and yea maybe like that friend more than just a really good friend.' Troy and Gabriella think at the same time.

'Hey girls!' Troy says. 'I'm having a sleepover Friday-night. Wanna come over?' He asks.

'Yeah sure!' The girls say at the same time. Then laugh.

'Good, come to mine at 5:30 p.m.'

'We'll be there!'

--------------------------------------

That Friday-night.

Troy's doorbell rings at 5:15 p.m. He opens the door.

'Hey Gabby! Come in!' 'Why are you early?'

'I just thought you maybe could use some help, and if you don't we could just talk a bit. What you don't like remember.' She says while giggling.

'Well, I'm almost done but after that we can talk.' He says winking at her. 'I just have to put some pillows at the ground and then I'm done.'

'Okay, I'll help you with that.'

After five minutes they're done and they're talking.

'By the way is there alcohol?' Gabriella asks.

'Yeah, why? I thought you didn't drink.' Troy asks confused.

'I don't, it's just please don't get drunk, Troy. I always feel safe around you, except when you're drunk. I mean then I still feel safe, just don't please.'

'I won't Gabs, but why the worrying? Am I really that bad when I'm drunk?' He says chuckling.

'Troy! You do know what I mean.'

'Yeah I know, sorry, am I forgiven?' He pouts.

Gabriella giggles. 'Yeah you are.' And she gives him a hug.

Then the doorbell rings and after 2 minutes the gang is sitting in de living room from the Bolton's. Gabriella is sitting on Troy's lap and Taylor and Chad are sitting next to each other and Sharpay and Ryan are sitting next to each other.

'So what's next?' Chad asks.

'Let's play Truth or Dare or Spin the Bottle!' Sharpay says excited.

'Yeah!' Gabriella and Taylor answers happy.

The guys grown.

'Please Troy, please please please please please!' Gabriella pouts 'cause she know he can't resist that.

'No Gabby not that look!' He closes his eyes. After 20 seconds. 'Did you stop yet?'

'Yes.' She lied

He opens one eye to see if she's saying the truth. 'Gabby! You're still doing it! Okay okay I'm playing.'

'Dude!' Chad and Ryan say together.

'I'm sorry.' Troy says a little embarrassed. 'You can chose which game?'

'Thank you!' Gabby says quickly.

'You own me Gabs!'

'I'll do anything.' she says smiling.

'Uh-uh. You guys can't chose which game. First we'll play Truth or Dare and after that we'll see a movie and then we'll play Spin the Bottle!' Sharpay says.

'Oh, and you are the one to decide that?!' Chad says.

'Yeah!'

'Ughh… Fine!'

The girls squeal.

'Okay, okay, me first. Ehm Troy. Truth or Dare?' Sharpay says excited.

Troy thinks for a moment. 'Dare. '

'I dare you to sing a song for us about love about how you feel about it.'

'What!?? I can't sing and you know that!'

'I don't care, a dare is a dare.'

'Ugh.. Okay..

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feelings taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop'

When he was done everybody stares at him with mouth dropped.
