Thank you so much to those who read my stories and for your suggestions! I'm not sure if I should think of titles for my chapters or not. Let me know what you guys think!
Gabriella's POV
The next day, I honestly couldn't wait until I saw Troy. I know it sounds lame and I've only really talked to him last night for our movie night. But for some reason, I just couldn't wait to see him. Probably those blue eyes. I walked into school and went to my locker. While I was putting my books away and grabbing the new ones I would need, I noticed that Troy was at his locker. I thought about it for a while, "Should I go over there?" Of course I didn't say this out loud. I took a deep breath, shut my locker and walked over to Troy.
"Hey, Troy." Troy looked back at me, and smiled. "Hey Gabi." He shut his locker and leaned against it. Sigh. He looked so good at just about everything he did. "So, I had a really good time yesterday. Thank you again for inviting me." I smiled at him. "Oh, it was no problem. I'm really glad you came." The bell then rang. Troy looked at me. "Do you want to walk to homeroom together?" I blushed a little bit. "Sure." We walked to homeroom and then sat in our assigned seats. Troy was towards the front and I was in the back. Again, good ol' chipper Ms. Darbus came in and started on her long talk about basically everything. And that was the time that literally all of us tuned her out. I walked out of homeroom and was getting ready to walk to my next class. "Hey Gabi!" I turned around and saw Troy walking towards me. "Hey, Troy! What's up?" Troy looked a little nervous, he scratched the back of his neck. "So, I was just wondering, and I hope it's not too soon to ask, but did you maybe want to hang out sometime?" I smiled at him. He was so cute when he was nervous. "Of course, Troy. When were you thinking?" He thought for a moment. "How's tonight?" "Yeah, that works for me. Just text me and we can figure everything out. Sound good?" He looked at me, and gave me his breath taking smile. "Sounds great." He then turned around and walked to his next class.
I couldn't help but smile for the rest of the day. Troy asked me to hang out. I still couldn't believe it. I mean, he could be hanging out with any other girl right now, but he chose me. Me, Gabriella Montez. As I was walking out of school, my phone pinged, letting me know that I had a text. I pulled out my phone and read the message:
"Hey Gabs, it's Troy. So, I was thinking we could meet at the park or something today. Just walk around and hang out. What do you think?"
Troy
"Sounds great! I'll meet you around 6:00?"
Gabi
"Sounds perfect, see you then."
Troy.
I got into my car, and drove home. My sister decided she wanted to take the bus home today. Not sure why, but that was okay. It gave me enough time to get ready to go hang out with Troy tonight. I know I still had like 3 hours to get ready, but I'm a girl, give me a break. I looked into my closet and sighed. I knew I had so many different outfits to choose from, but which one should I pick? I decided to pull out a pair of dark colored skinny jeans with a nice purple t-shirt. I put my hair with half of it up and half out it down. I put on a pair of flip flops and made my way downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen making dinner. "Hey honey, where are you off to?" "There is this new boy at school, his name is Troy Bolton, I'm going to the park to hang out with him for a few hours. Is that okay?" My mom smiled at me. "Of course, just don't be back too late." "I won't." I said as I walked out the door. I know I would be a bit early, but I just couldn't wait any longer. I pulled into the park and I saw Troy on the basketball court playing some ball. I walked over. "You're pretty good at this." He jumped a little and blushed. "Yeah, I used to play at my old school." "Have you ever thought about playing at East High?" I said walking closer to him. "Not really. I didn't know if it was too late in the year or anything to start playing." I shook my head "no." "I think you should really try out. There are tryouts tomorrow in the gym. Chad and Zeke will be there. They are already part of the team. But you should really try out." He nodded his head. "Yeah, maybe I will." I smiled at him. "Hand me the ball." He looked at me with wide eyes. "You're really going to play?" I giggled a little. "What? You don't think I can play?" He shook his head "no." "I believe you can." He tossed me the ball. I dribbled and then shot a basket. He looked at me impressed. "Maybe you should try out for the team." I giggled a little. "That's all you."
Troy and I then sat at one of the picnic table and started to get to know each other better. We laughed and just had a great time. I had come to the conclusion that I was developing a crush on Troy Bolton. Oh boy. I then caught Troy staring at me. "What? Do I have something on face?" I asked touching my face. "No, I just like your smile. It's cute." I blushed. Oh my gosh, Troy Bolton just told me I was cute. This is amazing. "Thank you." And you're pretty cute when you blush too." I now was probably as red as a tomato. I looked at him. "Are you purposely making me blush?" He laughed a little and winked at me. "Maybe." I playfully shoved him a little. About 2 hours later, we decided it was time to head home, even though we probably could have stayed forever just talking. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Gabs. Thanks for hanging out with me." "I had fun Troy, thanks for asking me." He smiled and winked at me. "Anytime."
The first 3 weeks of my senior year flew by. Troy and I were still hanging out and having a great time. The whole gang has been hanging out and Troy is officially part of the group. Troy tried out for the basketball team, and he made it! I was there to support him, of course. The gang and I decided to get together again for another movie night. It was a Friday so we had all picked out a movie and planned on watching them all. We all arrived at Sharpay's house around 7:00. "So, what movie is first?" I asked, sitting down on the couch. "Well, I picked The Fault in our Stars, so looks like that's what is first!" Sharpay said excitedly. All the guys groaned. I got all comfy and ready to watch the movie. "Is this seat taken?" I heard someone whisper in my ear. I jumped. Troy laughed. "Sorry, Gabs, it's just me." I slapped his arm playfully. "Thanks for scaring me." Troy sat down next to me. The movie started and this was one of my favorite movies, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Of course this movie always made me cry. I sniffled a little and then felt Troy put his arm around me. "You okay?" He whispered in my ear. I looked up at him and nodded. This was different for me. I know I liked Troy, a lot. But, did this mean he liked me? I was hesitant, but I snuggled into Troy and continued watching the movie. I left my hair down today, and I could feel Troy twirling the ends of my hair around in his finger. I couldn't help but smile. Once the movie had ended, all of us girls were sniffling. "Sharpay, great choice. I love the movie but it's so sad." I said to her. "Well, did anyone pick a comedy or something because I need to laugh after that." Then I heard Troy speak up. "I brought 22 Jump Street, that's pretty funny." Sharpay nodded and agreed. "I'll put it on." I then looked up at Troy. He looked back down at me. "What?" I giggled a little. "Nothing." He laughed and pulled me closer to him. He then whispered in my ear. "Did I tell you that you're looking pretty beautiful today?" I blushed and giggled. I looked up at him. "No, but thank you. I just put on some comfy clothes for the movie night. It's nothing special." "Well, I think you look beautiful." "Hey, you two over there, shh!" I heard Chad say. I laughed and continued watching the movie.
Once 22 Jump Street ended, we decided on one more movie and then we would all go home. We decided to watch The Breakfast Club, another one of my favorite movies. About halfway through I felt my eyes start to get heavy. I could no longer fight the sleep and closed my eyes. I woke up to everyone moving around the movie room getting ready to leave. "Well, you're finally awake. I thought we were going to be here all night. You're a pretty heavy sleeper." Troy said as I moved away from him. I blushed. "Sorry." He smiled. "Don't be." We all thanked Sharpay and walked out to our cars. "You're not going to fall asleep driving home, are you?" I heard Troy walking up behind me. I giggled. "No, I'll be okay." We then stopped outside my car. "Sorry I fell asleep on you again." I apologized. "Don't even worry. I didn't mind." He said shrugging his shoulders. We both looked at each other. I saw Troy leaning in, so, I did too. Then, it happened. I was kissing Troy Bolton. It was amazing. We then pulled back, our foreheads touching. "Wow." We both said at the same time. "I've been wanting to do that for a long time." He confessed. I blushed. "Well, thank you for doing it." I stepped on my tip toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Troy."
After the weekend had passed, and Monday morning came around, I was actually super excited to go to school. Over the weekend I had told Sharpay and Taylor about the kiss. Of course they wanted to know everything. I walked into East High and made my way to my locker. I then felt two arms wrap around my waist. "Good Morning, beautiful." Troy whispered in my ear. I giggled and turned around in his arms. "Good Morning." Troy and I hadn't talked much about the kiss, but I was hoping to today. "During free period, I want you to meet me somewhere." I told him. He nodded. "Sounds good." My first two classes seemed to never end. The minute the bell rang, I quickly ran to where I wanted to meet Troy. I had texted him in the meantime to let him know where I would be. When I got to the rooftop, Troy was already there waiting. "Well, someone beat me here." He turned around to look at me. "It's beautiful up here. How did you find this?" I shrugged walking towards him. "Just was exploring one day after school and then I found it." He nodded and smiled at me. I played with my hands nervously. "So, Troy. I kinda wanted to talk about the kiss we had on Friday." He smiled. "Yeah, me too actually." I knew what I wanted to ask, but was Troy thinking the same thing? Was he going to tell me it was a mistake? Oh boy. Gabi, stop overthinking things and just wait for him to speak. "Gabriella, I have enjoyed spending all this time with you, I like you. I really do." I smiled at him. "I like you too, Troy." I could tell he was nervous. He was scratching the back of his neck, something he does when he's nervous. I held his hand. "It's okay, Troy. There's no need to be nervous." He looked me and smiled. "Gabriella Montez, will you be my girlfriend?" I smiled at Troy. "Of course." He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "Thank you."
