Troy looked up from his notes for a moment and his eyes caught Gabriella's face concentrating on a movie which their history teacher was forcing them to watch. He, however, was concentrating on the way Gabriella's pen would gracefully skim the page, or how she'd scratch her neck or yawn. He just couldn't look away.

Why was he so mesmerized by her? He didn't even know, yet he was too late to stop himself as he leant forward in his seat, his lips dangerously close to her flawless neck.

"I'm going to ask you out." He whispered to her slowly and he noted she barely moved as she replied.

"Yeah, right..."

"I'm being serious."

"And so am I. I'm not interested Troy Bolton."

Troy breathed in deeply as Gabriella kept her back to him and went back to watching the movie. Well, she knew his name that was a start, yet the rejection part he wasn't going to take so lightly.

"Why not?", He pushed on and finally she turned to face him, her dark eyes boring into his own causing his breath to hitch.

"I don't want to."

"Look, nothing fancy or anything. It's just we're in all the same classes and I think we should finally get to know each other." He replied hopefully as she watched him almost thoughtfully.

"Tomorrow night. 7 pm. Be ready to meet my mother."

And with that she turned back around, leaving behind a speechless Troy to have his own little victory dance.

"What's with the grin dude?" Troy caught up with his friend at lunch and Chad couldn't work out why he was so happy.

"You'll never guess."

"No I won't. So just tell me."

"Tomorrow night I'm going out with Gabriella Montez."

Chad's jaw dropped in disbelief. "No way. That frigid bitch actually said yes?"

Troy ignored this comment and merely nodded joining the cafeteria line.

"Shit...well you got your dream date man. Hopefully you'll get over her soon."

----

"So you said yes to this boy?" Dr. Roberts frowned curiously as Gabriella nodded. Biting her fingernail almost anxiously.

"Troy...he's the basketball captain."

"Do you like him?"

"I am a girl Dr. Roberts..."

Dr. Roberts noted how Gabriella's disposition had changed and she leant her head back in her chair.

"So you're attracted to him?"

"I'm not as frigid as everybody thinks doctor. Any girl would be lying if she denied being attracted to Troy"

She seemed to slowly move her hands up her thighs, her dress rising slightly and he cleared his throat.

"Do you date Gabriella?"

"My mother is oblivious to all..." She continued, closing her eyes and smiling mischievously and Dr. Roberts frowned concerned.

From the sounds of her comment there was a lot he hadn't covered with Gabriella.

'Are you sexually active?"

"No...I'm a virgin...surprised?" She looked up at him curiously, biting her lip, her legs slowly parting. He avoided this action by diverting his eyes to his clipboard.

"Gabriella...what are your intentions towards Troy?"

She smiled again and chuckled to herself, "Completely dishonourable."

"And what do you believe are his?"
"I don't know. But I'm willing to find out."

Dr. Roberts cleared his throat again as Gabriella traced circles on her upper thighs slowly.

"What do you think your mother will have to say?"

"She'll obviously interrogate him, but I don't care what she thinks."

"Whatever happened to wanting to be alone?"

"Companionship doesn't hurt doctor. Besides, I've always had a crush on him..."
