A/N: Here is my brand new story. Hope you guys like it. Enjoy…
Chapter One
"Where are they?" Chad asked.
"I dunno, but I'm sure they'll be here soon." Troy said calmly as they waited at the airport for their girlfriends of two years, Gabriella and Taylor. It was May and the seniors were getting ready to go on their senior trip to Hawaii.
"Look over there, there they are!" Chad said pointing at the girls. Troy and Chad walked briskly over to them and gave them a quick kiss.
"Hello" Chad and Troy greeted.
"Hi" Taylor and Gabriella said.
"God, how much stuff do you need for one week?" Troy exclaimed as he looked down at the three suitcases both girls had.
"Well, at least I don't have as much stuff as Sharpay over there." Gabriella answered pointing over to Sharpay who was commanding that Ryan carry her 10 large suitcases.
"I just you're right. Here let me help you carry you're things." Troy offered.
"Thanks Troy." Gabriella said giving him a peck on the cheek.
"That's what I'm here for. Come on let's go get checked in and then go to our gate." Troy said.
After they had gotten checked in and gone through security they finally arrived at the gate.
Troy, Chad, Zeke and Jason were all sitting and talking about basketball. Troy looked over at the girls to see Taylor and Kelsi chatting away about everything, and then Gabriella sitting a couple seats away rocking back and fourth in her seat. Troy excused himself from the conversation and walked over to Gabriella.
"Hey Gabi, you okay?" he asked.
"Huh, me? Yeah I'm okay. I was just…um…reading! Yeah reading." Gabriella answered nervously as she picked up a random magazine.
"Oh I see, and you're reading a magazine upside down because…?" Troy asked sitting down beside her.
"I was reading it the right way until you came over here, and then I had to put it down. I must have picked it up the wrong way by accident." She said uneasily, looking at her feet.
"Gabi, come on tell me what's bothering you. I know you too well for that excuse. I know that the only times you rock back and fourth in your seat are when you are either nervous or scared about something." Troy said softly taking Gabriella hand.
"It's just that…Iamafraidofflying." Gabriella said quickly and quietly.
"Gabi, can you speak a little louder and a little slower please."
"I um I am…just…well…I'm kinda sorta just a little bit very afraid of…flying. I'm sorry I really should have told you." Gabriella confessed.
"Gabriella you have nothing to be sorry about and you have nothing to be worried about I'll be right there beside you the entire time." Troy assured her.
"Thank you Troy."
"Gabriella, I'll always be there to make sure you're ok." Troy answered kissing Gabriella's forehead.
"Would flight ABH247 from Albuquerque to Honolulu please begin boarding? Please have you're boarding pass ready to show." A voice said over the intercom.
"That's us." Troy said grabbing Gabriella's hand.
Once they were situated on the plane next to each other, Troy began putting their things in the overhead bins above. He closed the bin and saw Gabriella with her eyes closed taking deep breaths.
"Gabi, it's going to be ok. I promise I won't let anything happen." Troy soothed rubbing her hand.
Gabriella just nodded her head; her eyes still shut as she toke deep breaths.
The engines started roaring and Gabriella started hyperventilating; her breaths becoming short and fast.
"Gabi, shhh calm down. It's ok, it's ok. Here take my hand" Troy said softly taking Gabriella's hand. Gabriella immediately squeezed his hand very hard.
"Holy crap I didn't know she was that strong. This isn't going to work. I need something else. Hmmmmm….I got it!" Troy thought.
Troy began to sing softly in Gabriella's ear:
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Troy looked at Gabriella hoping she would sing along. And she did, very softly, but still she was singing:
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart (ooh)
To all the possibilities (ooh)
Troy joined in and they sang softly together:
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (ooh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
The start of something new
Troy sang again:
Now who'd of ever thought that (ooh)
We'd both be here tonight (ooh yeah)
Gabriella sang:
And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you by my side
Once again they sang together. Gabriella had completely forgotten about they had taken off and were now flying in the air.
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (ooh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
The start of something new
They finished together in perfect harmony, both of them smiling.
"Troy, you did it. You're the only one who has ever been able to calm me down. Do you know how amazing you are?" Gabriella said smiling at Troy.
"I have been told that, but it sounds better when you say it."
"What would I do without you?" Gabriella asked.
"I think you'd be ok. The question is, what would I do without you. I love you too much to let anything happen to you." Troy answered.
"I love you too Troy." Gabriella said kissing Troy.
A few hours later after they had eaten dinner, Mr. Bolton was walking up and down the aisle to make sure everyone was behaving. He walked past Troy and Gabriella chuckled. Gabriella's head was leaning on Troy's shoulder and Troy's head was leaning on Gabriella's head and they were both asleep.
"Aww…" Mr. Bolton thought "I like these types of moments, much nicer than when I catch them making out in the gym."
Hours later they pulled up to the hotel that they were going to be staying at. Gabriella stepped off the bus, took one look at the hotel and her face went pale.
A/N: So that's the first chapter of my new story. Why did Gabriella's face go pale?... The song I used was The Start of Something New from High School Musical; I hope that if you're reading this story you know that song. I hope you are enjoying my new story. Should I continue? Please review.
