Gabriella walked down her usual route to school; dragging her feet along the path, the further she went. Today was the day the call backs list will be put up. She was feeling a rush of emotions, at that particular moment in time, ranging from excitement, and anxiousness. Gabriella tried to stay positive, but as hard as she tried, she always felt that Sharpay would put her in complete shame and humiliation.
As Gabriella entered the front doors of the school, she could see a large crowd of people around the school notice board. Completely distracted by the huge crowd, she didn't notice the striking blue –eyed boy before her. They collided; sending her belongings everywhere. The boy caught her, and helped her regain her balance before letting go of her. She came face to face with his blue eyes that were etched with passion. Then it finally came to her -- it was Troy Bolton in front of her. The guy she had been crushing on for months on end.
"Th-th-hank... you." She stuttered; not knowing why it was hard for her just to say two words.
"You're welcome." He replied with a smile on his face. "I'm Troy. Troy Bolton. I don't believe we've properly met before?" He questioned.
"I don't think...so." She answered him shyly.
"You must be Gabriella Montez. You did an amazing job yesterday. Honestly."
"Well I don't think you won't hear me up there again, anytime soon. There's no way I can compete against Sharpay Evans." She said.
"You're more talented than she'll ever be. Don't give up because of her. You're pretty amazing, if I do say so, myself." Troy whispered quietly in her ear.
Gabriella gave him a smile at the sweetness of his words.
"Shh... She better not hear you say that. She'll go crazy."
"I don't really care; I've never liked her anyways."He said, with a cheeky smile on his face. Gabriella couldn't help herself; as hard as she tried. A laugh slipped out of her mouth, looking at his expression.
"Well," He paused, looking at her for a second. "Shall we go and see that call backs sheet?"
She nodded.
The two of them walked together, side-by –side. Gabriella couldn't believe that Troy Bolton was standing next to her, talking to her, laughing with her, complimenting her.
"Look at that," Troy said, pointing at the call backs sheet. "Congratulations, Gabriella."
She blushed, feeling a thrill of excitement run through her.
"Thanks, Troy. I never thought I'd ever being doing this... So who else is up?" She asked.
"Hmm... Well Sharpay and her Sharpettes and the Wild Rapping rappers. I'm positively sure you're going to win. You're incredible."
Gabriella took the time and details, writing it neatly on the palm of her hand.
"So... Do you feel like going for a little celebration at the juice bar after school?"
"Are you sure you want to be see with me?"
"Of course I do. You seem like a great person I'd like to get to know better.
"Well if you insist... My last lesson of the day is in English Room 144, did you want to meet me there?"
"I'll be there." Troy replied, with no hesitation at all.
The bell signalled for lunch. Gabriella and her best friend Taylor were walking to the school cafeteria. Gabriella was excited to tell her best friend about what happened earlier with Troy.
"Why do you seem so happy and chirpy today, Gabs? Is this to do with the finals? Or is there something else you're not telling me?" Taylor asked, suspiciously.
"Well..." She trailed off.
Not too long after, she went on and told the full story, telling her everything, not miss any details what-so-ever. Taylor was very shocked, but also very happy for her friend.
The bell rang, which signalled to students that their lunch break was over and it was time to go to their next lesson of the day.
"Well I better go... Good luck with Troy this after noon. Call me when you get back." Taylor quickly hugged her friend, before walking to her respective class.
Gabriella wasn't paying any attention in her last period of the day. She was wondering on how things would go with Troy after class. What would she say? What would she do? Her nerves started to get the better of her.
The lesson seemed to drag on for Gabriella. The class was dismissed. Gabriella immediately was hoping to come face-to-face with Troy's striking blue eyes. Five minutes went by of waiting for Troy to show up outside her English classroom. She began to think that this was all some kind of joke and that Troy would team up with Sharpay, all in an effort and attempt to humiliate her again. Troy isn't like that? ...Is he?
A couple of seconds later, Troy appeared, ending all of her speculation that he had stood her up. He ran by, grabbing Gabriella's hand gently, running down the hall; hand-in-hand. Seconds later, they were laughing together, both of their eyes sparkling.
Together, they arrived at the juice bar and headed straight for a 2-seater-table. A young waitress came by, ready to take their order.
"What would you like today?" The waitress questioned, pulling the pen out of her pocket.
"We'll just be a few moments." He woman nodded politely, heading over to another young couple.
"What would you like to drink? I'll pay." Troy asked, glancing down at the menu, even though he already knew what he was ordering. – Whatever she had.
"Thanks, Troy. I'll have a chocolate milkshake, please." She replied.
"You don't mind if we share?" Troy asked, his face going slightly red.
Gabriella just giggled in response. "Sure."
"I'll go and give our order to the waitress then. I'll be right back." He winked at her, with a smile. She felt like she could melt on the spot.
He walked off, and over to the waitress. "Could I please get one large chocolate milkshake with two straws?"
Five minutes later, their milkshake arrived. Occasionally they would bump noses, both going in for a sip at the same time. Together, they laughed, smiled and talked, having a great time in each other's company.
Sharpay walked into the bar to see Troy, with Gabriella, and the milkshake they were sharing in-between.
Sharpay stormed over there; her followers right behind her.
