Previously: The two decided to play basket ball with a little twist.

They started to play. Troy was surprised when he found out how good Gabriella really was.

"Montez you got game." Troy said breathless, while Gabriella was only a light shade of pink on her cheeks.

"A little." Gabriella replied before shooting the ball.

Troy was concentrating more on her than the game so the ball easily went through the hoop.

"Watch out Bolton. You are losing by 4 shots." Gabriella replied

"Pause for a sec."

Gabriella took of her yellow v-necked top to reveal a white tank top.

Troy was mesmerized. Still in a trance he took of his shirt to show his perfectly sculpted abs. Gabriella was taken into a trance of her own so she didn't notice troy. Troy had picked u the basketball and shot.

"You gonna play or stare?" Troy asked a smile playing across his lips.

"I think ill play." Gabriella said annoyed. "You can also keep your eyes off."

Troy smirked as they continued playing.

The boys walked into the gym, because they normally play at free period. The girls also walked in because they were searching for Gabriella.

Both groups stood amazed as they saw a shirtless troy and Gabriella was in her undershirt/tank top.

Gabriella shot the ball but troy intercepted it. Troy took the ball and ran to the other side of the court with Gabriella only a foot behind. He shot and right once it went through Gabriella's leg entwined with his on accident and they both came crashing down onto the gym floor. They both started to laugh but, their laughing quickly subsided when they noticed that the groups where in the gym.

"Oh crap" they said in unison

Both of their groups walk over to them confused.

"Here" troy said holding out his hand, for her to take.

"Thanks" Gabriella took hold of Troy's hand and he pulled her up from the gym floor.

"Am I missing something here?" Chad asked when he reached them.

"Not like that, dumb butt! We were playing basketball." Troy answered.

"Oh" the girls echoed

"Who won?" Sharpay asked

"Gabriella and troy silently motioned his hand towards Gabriella.

"Really?" Jason questioned.

"Yeah by 3 shots!" Gabriella boasted

"She's awesome." Troy complemented on Gabriella

"Thanks." Gabriella replied blushing wildly. "Oh and remember the bet, wildcat?"

"What bet?" The confused gangs asked.

"IF I won she had to make-out with me." Troy started

"But he lost so he has to die his hair pink." Gabriella finished, "and he agreed.

"Do I really have to?" troy whined in a childish voice

"Yep" Gabriella answered, "See you around. Oh and have fun playing basketball! Gabriella giggled then walked out of the gym. All the girls were laughing until…

"MONTEZ!" they heard troy shout from the gym

The girls busted out laughing.

"Yall did get the last one right?" Gabriella asked the girls, still laughing

"Yeah at the last minute." Taylor answered then they went to the theater to watch Sharpay performing a song

Troy stood there looking at the deflated basketballs.

"I can't believe they took the air out of everyone!" Jason exclaimed

The guys spent the remainder of the period re inflating the basketballs.

The last period bell rang. Gabriella rushed to her parking spot then remembered. Her mom had her car; she was supposed to have caught the bus. Swinging her bag over her shoulder, she started walking to her house.

She heard running footsteps so she turned around.

"You ok?" Troy asked her breathless

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Gabriella questioned confused

"Well you are walking home alone. Someone like the boogey man might come and get you."

Gabriella giggled and blushed.

"I got my car so I can give you a lift home if you want."

"That would be great, Bolton."

They each walked back to Troy's car.

Troy POV

I want to open the door for her and like ya know be nice. What if that makes her think something's up? Well I guess it couldn't hurt cuz a little something is up. I will have to tell her sooner or later.

Back to no one's POV

Troy opened the door for Gabriella.

Gabriella nodded to say "thank you" then got into the car.

Troy walked to the driver's side then entered. "Do you have to be home right away?"

"No. Why?"

"Cuz I have an idea."

"What is it?"

"That would ruin the surprise. Do you need to call your mom and tell her that you wont be back until like 6ish."

"6ish!" Gabriella yelled, "she's in New York to promote a book she just wrote."

"Ok then."

"But seriously where are you taking me to where I won't be to my place until 6?"

"Somewhere. But I know for sure you will like it."
