"So you got the attention of Troy Bolton hmm?" Sharpay smirked at Gabriella while she sat back down on the couch after they made sure he exited the building safe without getting ripped in pieces by other girls. "Never tought I would see the day you fell in love."

"I'm not in love with Troy. I was on my way back home when I needed to tie my shoelace again. Wait a sec.." Gabriella remembered she still had to thank her shoe. So she placed her foot on her other leg and looked at it. "Thank you shoe." She placed her foot back on the floor and faced Sharpay again, who was looking at her weirdly. "So I was hopping on one leg and suddenly he ran into me. Do you know how freaked out I was when those men came out the bushes? It was soo creepy!"

"Why exactly were you thanking your shoe?" Sharpay looked at her best friend and roommate who quickly turned red. "I don't even want to know!" She waved with her hand. "So he invited you into his house.. How did it look?" She asked curious.

"It was soo big, only the hallway was three times bigger than this room." Gabriella referred to the livingroom of the dorm they were living in. "And his had this cute Yorkie dog called Rose. She's soo cute!" Gabriella gushed dreamily.

"I didn't know Troy Bolton loved dogs." Sharpay leaned back on the couch she was sitting on and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Gabriella giggled and shook her head. "Neither did I. But he bought her because he didn't want to feel lonely when he was at home. Since he doesn't live with his parents anymore."

"Nah, he got you now. I bet that in less than a month you have slept in his house for 2 weeks. maybe not in a row but counted together it will be 2 weeks. Promise me." Sharpay smirked at her flushed friend.

"We're just friends. Eventough I think he won't call me and he just tried to be nice.." Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and then stood up. "I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow morning Shar." She yawned and then went to her bedroom. Just when she wanted to pull her shirt of her phone buzzed in her jeans pocket. While slipping it out Gabriella pulled her shirt over her head. She opened the text message she had received.

Meeting you was the best that happened to me the last couple of days... X

Gabriella frowned confused and then looked at the name of the person who send it. She laughed when she was TB-man standing at the top of the text message. She quickly typed a reply back before she pulled her jeans of and then slipped into her pyjama pants and shirt.

Hmm, didn't think I would hear of you again.. Tought you made a joke. XO

Gabriella's phone buzzed again when Gabriella was just sitting in her bed.

You tought I made a joke? I promised you I would call you tomorrow. But I tought now was better. Make no plans for tomorrow. I'm taking you shopping. My treat. End of discussion. XX

Pff. When are you done? XX

Uhmm... 1 o'clock. XX

Goodnight Troy XXO

Gabriella placed her Iphone on the bedside table and cuddled into the covers while shutting her nightstand lamp off. She placed her head on her pillow and fell asleep with a smile playing on her lips.


"Troy!" Gabriella hissed loudly. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Gabriella walked towards Troy who was leaning against his car, sunglasses and a beanie covered his sandy coloured hair and blue eyes. It was 5 minutes past one when Gabriella walked through the door of the main building of the campus.

"I told you I would pick you up when your classes were done Bella." Troy smiled and took his sunglasses of, revealing his blue eyes. "Now give me a hug." He opened his arm making Gabriella giggle.

"Alright." Gabriella giggled and then stepped in Troy's arms, her own wrapping around his torso while his wrapped around her waist. She could smell his musky cologne mingled with soap.

Troy wished they could stay in that position for longer, but he knew that if they would stay longer outside the car people would start to recognize him. He pulled away from Gabriella and placed a strand of hair behind her ear, making her smile. "Ready to go?"

"Yes. Let's go." Gabriella was about to open the door to the passenger seat but Troy beated her to it and opened it. "Thank you." Gabriella blushed while she got into the car and fastened her seat belt.

Troy got into the drivers seat and after fastening his seat belt he brought the engine to life. "Sow how were your classes?" Troy asked while he backed out of the parking spot and then drove to the exit of the campus.

"Boring like always. Everyone was talking about that Troy Bolton, or like the preferred. Troy 'hottie' Bolton, was on campus yesterday evening. And then everyone asked me where I hid him. Because they recognised me." Gabriella laughed at Troy's face.

"They called me Troy 'hottie' Bolton?" Troy shot Gabriella a glance before he turned a corner.

"Hmhmm.. Well the girls called you that.. And the gay boys..." Gabriella laughed again when Troy's jaw dropped.

"Gay boys called me that too? I even have gay fans?" Troy breathed in deeply and then continued to focus on the road, the parking lot of the mall coming into view.

"Yeah. It's funny actually.." Gabriella giggled while Troy parked in a empty parking lot. Just when the car had stopped flashed went off outside the car. "How do they know you are here?" Gabriella looked through the window confused.

"They have their ways. Believe me. It's like I have some kind of tracking down censor in my car." Troy chuckled and the opened the door, but not before tossing Gabriella's his sunglasses. "You're gonna need them."

Gabriella looked down at the sunglasses that were tossed in her lap. She quickly putted it on and left the car. She was happy she had Troy's sunglasses up, otherwise she would be blinded by the flashed.

'TROY?! TROY?! LOOK HERE!'

'WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BUY TROY?!'

'YOU GIRL! GIVE US A SMILE!'

'TROY! HOW ARE YOU DOING?!'

Troy looked up for a split second and smiled. "I'm fine.. thanks for asking." He then wrapped his arm around Gabriella's waist and pulled her closer into his side.

'SWEETHEART WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!'

"Ignore them and keep walking." Troy whispered in Gabriella's ear while they made their way to the entrance of the mall. When they had entered the security made sure none of the paparazzi could follow them.

"They are crazy." Gabriella took Troy's sunglasses of her eyes and blinked a few times. "And you deal with that everyday?"

"Hmhmm. Yeah. But to the point. To which stoo.." Troy got cut of when Gabriella pulled him into a hollister store. "Woah!"

"Sorry." Gabriella giggled but then pulled him towards the back of the shop.

"I'm starting to have second toughts about taking you out shopping." Troy joked and Gabriella just giggled while she looked through racks of clothes. "Here try this on." He took a white dress out of one of the racks. "It'll look beautiful on you."

Gabriella gasped. "It's beautiful." She took the dress out of Troy's hands and turned around and walked to the dressing rooms. She disappeared in one while Troy sat down on a chair in front of it. "It's a bit short." Gabriella mumbled less than 5 minutes later.

"Let me look at it." Troy got up and Gabriella opened the curtain. His jaw dropped as he looked Gabriella up and down. The white dress she was wearing was long sleeved and stopped halfway down her thighs. [Pic in profile]

"What do you think?" Gabriella asked nervous when Troy just stared at her and not saying anything. "You don't like it right? I knew it was to short." Gabriella sighed and attempted to walk back into the dressing room but Troy stopped her.

"It looks beautiful on you Gabriella. I'm buying it for you." Troy smiled.

"Y-you don't have to buy it. I'll pay for it m-myself." Gabriella stuttered while she looked into Troy's blue eyes, which stared back down at her.

"Bella, just let me pay for it. I asked you to come shopping with me. So I pay." Troy gave her a look when Gabriella wanted to argue with him but she closed her mouth again, defeated.

Gabriella sighed and then walked in the dressing room to appear out of it 5 minutes later, her normal clothes back on and the dress in her hand.

Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand and enterwined their fingers without realising it and then walked to the pay desk to pay for the dress.

"Hello, welcome to Holliste..." The girl behind the desk gasped when she looked up and she began to stutter. "H-how can I h-help you?" She looked like she was going to faint any second.

"Are you alright?" Gabriella asked the girl, who turned paler and paler, worried.

"C-could I h-have your a-a-autograph?" The girl asked Troy shyly while she looked down.

"Sure." Troy smiled and the girls head snapped up. "What's your name?" He took the pen and piece of paper the girl gave him.

"Sa-Savannah."

Troy began to scribble on the paper and then ended it with his autograph. He gave it back to the girl who was now really almost fainting. "Here you go Savannah." He smiled again.

"T-thank you." Savannah stuttered again and then scanned the dress. "That would b-be $39.99." She placed the dress in a bag and Troy took out his creditcard.

"I still think you should let me pay!" Gabriella huffed and crossed her arms across her chest while Troy paid for her dress.

"Suck it up Babes." Troy grinned cheekily and took the bag from the girl and then wrapped his arm around Gabriella's waist. "How about some shoes that match with your new dress?"

"As long as you let me pay for them." Gabriella said while she and Troy walked out the shop. The girl behind the counter let out a scream, making Troy chuckle.

"Yeah yeah. We'll see about that.."


"I can't believe you didn't let me pay for those shoes Troy!" Gabriella glared up at Troy, who was now holding the bag with her dress and a bag with her shoes.

"Just stop whining about it Bella. I paid for it and you didn't. End of discussion." Troy rolled his eyes and then wrapped his arm around her waist again. "You wanna grab some MacDonalds?"

"Are you actually asking a girl that question? OFCOURSE!" Gabriella giggled happily. She then leaned in Troy's side while she placed his sunglasses back on while they made their way outside again.

'WHAT DID YOU BUY TROY?! SOMETHING PRETTY FOR YOUR GIRL?!'

'DON'T BE SHY GABRIELLA! JUST GIVE US A SMILE!'

Gabriella his her face in Troy's shoulder when one of the paparazzi called her name. Troy sensed Gabriella got scared and pulled her closer towards him. "Can you please move? Don't you see she's getting scared?!" He groaned when no one moved. "This is really getting annoyed." He muttered under his breath while he still tried to get to his car.

"MOVE!" A muscalar security guard made his way through the crowd. "I'm here to get you safe to your car Mr Bolton." He smiled politely to Troy who nodded. When the security guard started to wave his way through the crowd all the paparazzi moved out his way scared while Troy followed him with Gabriella.


"H-how did that man know my name?" For the first time since they had arrived at Troy's house Gabriella spoke. Her voice shaky and scared while she sat on the big black couch in the livingroom, her arms wrapped around herself.

"I don't now Gabriella." Troy sighed while he ran a frustrated hand through his hair. He sat down on the couch next to Gabriella and wrapped a arm around her. "I don't even know how they know half the stuff they know about me. Once they found out I used my moms make-up when I was 12." Troy chuckled while trying to cheer Gabriella. "You'll get used to it."

"I blame you if I won't."
