Chapter 2

It's been a week since Gabriella and Troy saw each other on the train and since then they haven't had another encounter. They have seen brief glimpses of each other as they have stepped on and off the train but never been in the same carriages.

But when Gabriella got on the train that day her eyes locked with a pair of intense blue eyes and a smile came to her lips. "Hey!" greeted Gabriella, skipping over to Troy and plonking herself down in a vacant seat.

"Hey yourself, you seem exceptionally happy today" replied Troy with a grin

"Well it's a good day, and anyway I'll have you know I'm always happy – I'm a happy person" Gabriella retorted, folding her arms over her chest in a gesture of mock indignation. The male returned her glare until he was unable to stop the smile twitching at the corner of his mouth. That was all it took for the pair to descend into uncontrollable laughter for several long minutes.

"You're right," agreed Troy once he had regained his composure, "it is a good day."

"And this is my stop," chirps Gabriella standing up.

Much to her surprise, Troy also gets up.

"Mine too," he says

"You, you never get of at this stop," splutters Gabriella

"Have you been watching me?" asks Troy

"No," lies Gabriella a steady flush of crimson creeping up her cheeks.

"I think you have," teases Troy "You mustn't be as observant as you think you are," he adds the teasing smirk still on his lips.

The conversation soon moves onto there destinations for the day and as they reach them, surprisingly on the same street and opposite each other, they bade each other farewell with the promise to meet at noon for lunch.
