"I love you, Troy," Gabriella murmured to her boyfriend of two years, Troy Bolton.
"I love you, too, Gabby," he said before closing the gap between their lips.
Troy started to unbutton Gabriella's shirt. Gabriella pushed him away.
"Troy, I'm sorry. I think it's just too early, ok? I'm ... not ready for this, ok? Please stop pressuring me into having sex with you, I'm just not ready for this," Gabby said and started to button up her shirt again.
Troy scowled. "Fine, fine."
"Are we cool?" gabriella asked, worried.
The smile appeared on troy's face again. "Yeah. Cool."
"Awesome," Gabriella said and checked her watch. "Crap. It's late, and i have to go before my mom gets worried."
Troy pulled her in and kissed her again. "'Kay. Well, you better go, then. Love you," he said.
Gabriella smiled. "Love you."
The Next Day
"Taylor, what do I do? Troy keeps pressuring me into sex and I don't know what to do," Gabriella said to her best friend, Taylor, at lunch time the next day.
"Honey, I say you do it with him," Taylor said taking a bite of her ham and egg sandwich.
"What?! Tay - that's not the answer I expected from you!"Gabriella said.
"Look at it this way - if you don't give it to him sooner or later, he's going to find someone else to bang," Taylor said.
"Have you done it? With Chad?" Gabriella asked.
"No. I don't think neither of us is ready yet, which is good, actually," Taylor said, taking another bite of her sandwich.
Martha looked up at them and spotted Gabriella's untouched food. "Are you going to eat that? Because I didn't have breakfast this morning," she said.
"Um, no. You can have it," said Gabriella as she slid her tray of sushi and OJ to Martha.
"So, hon - what're you going to do?" Taylor asked.
"I think I'm just going to give it a couple of days. I'll decide later," Gabriella said.
"'Kay, hon. Just know I'm here for ya," Taylor said and hugged Gabriella.
"Thanks, Tay. You're the best. Oh! I've got to get to the chem lab. I'm tutoring some kids for a while today and I promised to meet them 10 minutes before lunch ended," Gabriella said.
"Alright-y then," Taylor said. "See ya in English lit. Bye!"
"Bye!" Gabriella said.
