Chapter 2

Present day –summer before college

It was a rainy day and Troy was missing his Gabriella. He had called her house this morning and her mother had told him that Gabriella was sick. He just didn't know what she had. But he was going to find out. He got his cell and called her room phone.

Gabriella had the cramps and bad. She hated getting her period, they were so bad that it was hard to walk around without her stomach hurting her. She had taken Tylenol, but what she really wanted was Troy's arms around her. Of course she knew that he was going to call her. He called her everyday when they weren't together. She answered the phone on the first ring. Hello she said. Baby whats wrong ? he questioned , your mom said that you were sick but she didn't say with what. Um well I have my period with really bad cramps. Oh thank god I thought that you had the flu or something he sighed in relief. Troy she said cramps still hurt she moaned. Well I'll be right over, do you need anything before I come over. No she said I just need you she moaned from the pain again. Okay, just make sure your balcony door is unlocked he said then he hung up. She waited impatiently for him squirming in bed and putting perfume on. Finally he was at the door and she let him in. He greeted her with a hug and kissed her cheek. He carried her to the bed and sniffed her vanilla scent that he loved so much. Once they were on the bed she moaned again and clutched her stomach. Oh honey Troy said stroking her hair. He held her in his arms. Suddenly Troy had an idea to make her feel better. He lifted her t-shirt which was actually his but she loved to wear his clothes, and he kissed her flat stomach starting from her belly button up beneath her breasts. Then taking both his hands from around her he began to massage her stomach. She instantly moaned out in pleasure. Oh Troy she sighed. Troy that feels so good He smiled from seeing her pleasure. He continued to massage her for a couple of minutes before he stopped. Her eyes were now closed and she looked like she was in pure bliss. Thanks Troy she finally said. He kissed her forehead and asked her if she was feeling better. Much better she said. Troy then wrapped his arms around her and held her as she fell asleep.

Troys flashback

It had been a week since he had met Gabriella and he couldn't stop thinking about her. He had been busy with basketball season coming up and of course his dad had made sure he never missed a practice which were everyday. He desperately wanted to ask her out. But he didn't know when. Since
Gabriella had come to school she had become friends with Taylor, and Sharpay. She spent most of her time with them but also the guys at East High had noticed her too unfortunately. But to Troy's delight whenever a guy would ask her out she would say no. He kept wondering if she liked someone. Well he was about to find out.

Troy was walking down the hallway in East High when he decided that today was going to be the day he was going to ask Gabriella out. He went to her locker, and waited for her, they had already exchanged phone numbers the second day of school after they had met. Troy loved everything about Gabriella, he loved the way she smiled, loved the way she smelled, and he loved the way she could just light up a room. He had never told her this, heck he had never told anybody this not even his best friend Chad and sure as hell not his parents. He had texted her last night telling her he wanted to talk to her by her locker. He waited a couple of minutes, knowing that Sharpay had probably driven her to school with Taylor. And then all of a sudden the East High front doors opened and there they were first he looked at Taylor then he looked at Sharpay and finally he looked at his crush Gabriella. God, did she always have to look so beautiful. She was wearing boy friend jeans that hugged her legs and a v neck white top with a sweater over it. Troy could have watched her walk forever, but he had to get down to why he texted her. When she saw him, he watched her immediately smile. This made Troy's heart skip a beat. He smiled back at her, and wished that he could hold her in his arms and smell her vanilla scent.

Ladies, he said to Sharpay and Taylor. They both said Hey Troy. Sharpay walked down the hall a little more since her locker was far away. See you Gabriella she said smirking at her and Troy. She knew that Troy had a thing for Gabriella he gave it away everytime he looked at her. Taylor looked at Troy and asked him where Chad was and he said Probably at his locker. She quickly smiled at Troy and Gabriella and went to find Chad. Gabriella looked at Troy and said you okay there Troy, you look like your going to throw up or something. He tried to act cool and said no im fine, how are you? Troy are you sure your okay I can take to the nurse or something she said and she pressed her hand to his forehead almost making him jump in pleasure at her touch. Well your forehead's not hot so you must be okay and she went back to spinning her locker combination.

Umm Gabi… Troy began. Yes she said. You know how we are friends and all. And we promised each other we would tell each other everything. Yeah she said. Well I wanted to ask you something. What is it Troy? she said. Well … All of a sudden he hear d his name being called. He turned around and there was the infamous Chad with his arm wrapped around Taylor. Of course they weren't going out but Troy had a feeling they would soon. What Troy almost yelled back at Chad. Dude calm down I was just saying hi. Chad said. I know you say hi to me every freaking day, since you know we are best friends and all. Troy said angrilily. Oh hey Gabriella Chad said. Hey Chad, she said. Troy turned to Gabi he had already texted to her again telling her to meet him at their secret spot at lunch. He watched her read her text and she slowly nodded at him. Chad lets get to homeroom he said putting his hand on his buddy's back. See you Taylor Chad called. What was that about Taylor asked Gabriella. Nothing Gabriella said Troy just wanted to say hi. Uh huh and the pope is Jewish Taylor said back to her. Umm Taylor Im not going to be at lunch today, I have to study for an algebra test. Okay Taylor said. Lets get to homeroom Taylor said. As Taylor walked to her classroom, Gabriella separated from her and went to the homeroom she shared with Troy. She wondered what he wanted to talk to her about. As she sat down he smiled at her again. She smiled back.

Troy's Pov

It was lunchtime and Troy was a little nervous. He was at his and Gabriella's secret spot. Now their secret spot was actually the rooftop that the science lab used. He had showed this spot to Gabriella the second day of school their junior year. She loved the idea that Troy had thought of coming to this place whenever they had problems to talk about. He couldn't believe he was actually going to do this, ask her out. He hoped she would say yes. They had known each other almost two years. Two long years of wanting to do this but never having the courage too. Until now. He suddenly heard the door to the lab open he turned around and watched his love come in. She smiled that sweet smile to him and opened her arms to him asking for a hug. He smiled at this and of course when she was near distance of him he grabbed her and held her in his arms. He smelt her hair. And they both almost moaned in pleasure at being so close. Now it might seem that they were a couple to people who didn't know them but of course they weren't. She was the first to break their hug stepping away from him almost dizzily.

Now before you tell me what you want to tell me I have something to tell you. She said. What is that Miss Montez? He told her jokingly. Suddenly her face got serious. She knew Troy wasn't going to like what she had to say. What is it? Troy asked concerned seeing her face. Umm well… she began Chase Brown, asked me out again. He angrilily raised his fist. Troy calm down, she said. How can I calm down knowing that fucker tried to talk to you again. Troy, you know I don't have any feelings for him she said.

So what did you tell him. Troy asked. Well I politely told him I couldn't go out with him because that day that he wants to go out is your birthday and I can't miss it. Oh Troy said relieved. I really hate that guy. Troy said angrily. I know Gabriella said. But you don't have to worry, Im sure he won't bother me again. She said. But what if he does Troy said almost groaning now. Well I'll just tell him no again she said. Don't worry everything will be fine. You'll see. She said this in a comforting tone. Now what did you want to talk to me about Mr. Bolton? She said almost laughing.

Oh yeah well. This Friday … Oh the Friday before your birthday. She said interrupting he said. Well I wanted to know if you would go to dinner and a movie with me? She looked at him and said sure we can go. Maybe I'll ask Taylor and Shar if they want to come she said and you can ask Zeke and Chad if they want to come she said. Gabi he said interrupting her I just meant you and me go alone, you know together. He scratched the back of his head, as a date he said. Gabriella looked at him surprised then thinking it over she beamed at him and said Troy there is nobody I would rather go with.
