AN: The second chapters now up don't forget to R&R

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

Troy and the gang were in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring and end the school day. Chad was

finishing telling Troy about his idea. Gabriella and Ryan were playing noughts and crosses on the

back of Ryans maths homework, and Kelsi and Sharpay as usual were discussing the next musical

"Ryan, why don't you give up?" teased Gabriella.

"No way, I'm not losing 13-0 to a girl!" said a frustrated Ryan Evans.

"How about I let you win. Will you be happy then? Anyway thre's no room left on the paper!"

Gabriella stuck her tongue out at Ryan and laughed.

"I won" A huge smile grew across her face as she said this.

"I demand a rematch tommorow!"

The bell rang as Ryan said this. Gabriella was already halfway accross the classroom when Troy

shouted her over.

"Hey Gabby over here" Gabriella turned her head quickly, her long dark curlsswaying around with

her head. She walked over to Troy and looked up to see what he wanted.

"Hey do you have Scholastic Decathalon practise tonight"

"Yeah, thats where I'm going now...why?"

"Nothing just meet me in out secret spot after you finish. Don't ask questions just promise me

you'll come!" Troy managed to say that all in one breath and was now inhaling quickly trying

to catch his breath back. Gabriella looked slightly confused but agreed to meet him there.

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

Troy was becoming nervous. Maybe Gabriella wasn't coming, the Scholastic Decathalon practise

should have finished 10 minutes ago, and it only took 3 mintues to get from the practise room to

his and Gabriellas secret spot. He had timed it earlier in the day. A heartbroken Troy was about

to get up and leave when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He quickly ran back and hid

behind a rather large plant. He crouched down watching silently. Gabriella was almost at the top

of the stairs and was shouting out to Troy. When nobody answerd and nobody could be seen

Gabriella began to look around. Troy was convinced she has seen him, he held his breath.

Gabriella took out her mobile phone and started to punch in Troys number when she saw a white

piece of paper with a rose placed on top on the bench. She walked over and picked up them both.

Gabriella began to read the letter. It read:

" Dear Gabriella,

You probably know who this letter is from. I've been trying to tell you this since

I first met you. So I'll just get it over with. I love you Gabby. The way you smile,

laugh, even the way you travel with the ball in basketball. I love the way your

hair smells of strawberries, the way you dress, the way you can make me do

anything you ask me to. I love everything about you. I hope you feel the same

way. Love always Troy xxx "

Gabriella looked up just as her mobile phone began to ring. It was Troy.

"Hey Gabby"

"Hey Troy...err"

There was a long and akward silence.

"Just answer my last question. You either do or you don't"

Gabriella paused for a moment

"I do Troy. I really do I..."

Before she fot to finish her sentance Troy stepped out from behind the plant. Gabriella turned

around and jumped back. She then realised who it was and threw herself towards him. Troy

enveloped Gabriella into a hug. He embraced the moment, he could smell the strawberries in

her hair. He didn't want to let go.

"Troy...I'm having problems breathing here!"

Troy laughed slightly along with Gabriella.

"Oh...sorry"

Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere.

"Dude I told you it would work!"

Troy began to laugh. Chad was now stood at the top of the stairs with the biggest grin on his face Troy had ever seen. Even bigger than the time Chad had his birthday party at Peties Pizaa Place.

"You know, they don't call me the lovemiester for nothing!"

The three of them stood there laughing.
