Chapter 2

Troy was doing well with the fact of hiding his visits to Taylors place. But as it comes to chemistry for example, where Gabriella is just perfect, he didn't get it well…He felt being quite dull at that point, but he tried his best. And Taylor was gladly very patient with him.

Gabriella noticed that Troy at school in classes were more active. As in razing his hand to answer the teachers' questions and generally getting good grades. For Gabriella it seemed quite strange for Troy doing so, but she was happy of the fact that her boyfriend finds education important.

After classes Gabriella was standing next to Troy and his locker by giving him this look. "Troy, tell me, what's going on? I can't help it to notice you quite avoid me yet it is very impressive, how all of the sudden, education came important to you. Why is that, wildcat?"

Troy smiled like crazy by hearing Gabriella saying word impressive and his blue eyes lightened up, he kissed her and said "Oh Gabriella, I'm so glad you noticed my effort. That's, what I tried to accomplish to impress you…"

"Really, why? You know it did impress me, but I kind of miss old Troy, he wasn't so distanced with me as this new Troy. So you were studying all these weeks? Just to impress me?"

"You're just so intelligent, that I didn't want you would be bored of me as big part of my life and talks take place about basketball and my team."

"Oh Troy, you silly! I could never be bored of you, you complete me. We have also mutual hobby together, don't forget our singing and dancing. So please, I truly admire you even more now. But I miss hanging around you, perhaps if you'd like we can study together or something?"

"Gabi, you're so sweet. But I needed to take this chance, I couldn't risk by losing you someday just because I am not intelligent enough for you. I'd like that!" Last sentence Troy said kind of flirty way

"Oh wildcat…" Gabriella paused, because one thought hit her head 'It is so sweet of my boyfriend to impress me. I need to return the favor by impressing Troy; otherwise I can't take a chance to lose him someday too. I need to talk with Chad!' "Troy, I need to take care of something…"

"Okay, but what about our studying together?"

"Let's put this for later, okay?"

"Okay, sure…" Troy didn't get it the sudden change of Gabriella's mood. After all she missed having him around, right? So was he.

When Gabriella was alone, she caught up with Chad and said "Hey Chad!"

"Yeah?"

"I need to ask you a favor. Would you teach me, how to play basketball smoothly so I could impress Troy without him knowing I am doing that at first? I'd show him my new skill, when time would be right."

"It would be awkward to teach a girl something like that, but since you are my best friends' girlfriend I will. Why do you want to impress him anyways? As far as I know he is crazy for you without you knowing to play basketball."

"Thanks Chad, it's kind of personal to be honest."

"Okay, sure…I must admit that Troy lately had been acting weird too, I guess it has to do something about that, right?"

"You could put it that way."

"So meet you tomorrow after school?"

"That would be great!"

"See you!"

And Gabriella replied Chad the same way. So, when tomorrow came and next couple of weeks of hard training with Chad was over…

Now Troy was impatient and wondered; why his girlfriend was distanced with him. He had a bad feeling about this at some case. Thought his avoiding was for the good at some point. He just hasn't a tiniest clue that Gabriella has a surprise for him as well.

After school, when Troy caught up with Gabriella he said seriously "Gabriella, we need to talk!"
