Troy unfortunately had to take Sharpay out on a date. All Troy could think about was Gabriella. she was beautiful. stubborn, but beautiful. "Hello... Troy." she snapped her fingers infront of his face, he looked at her, "Huh? yeah?" she rolled her eyes, "weren't you listening to me?" Troy rubbed his face, "Can I ask you something?" she sighed, "Is it about Gabriella?" he just stayed silent. Sharpay sighed, "Look, Gabriella.. she's been through.. I guess you could say alot.. her dad died 2 months ago from lung cancer, and her mom lives in england.. and most of her relationships don't work out well, at all... she's afriad you'll hurt her."
Troy looked at her, "Man.. I.. I didn't know-" "Well now you do, she just doesn't trust guys, especially for the ones that chase after her, and come on strong like..hmm I don't know, you!" Troy rolled his eyes, "How do I get her to go out on a date with me?" Sharpay rolled her eyes, "Do you really want to take her out on a date?" Troy nodded, "Yes.. she's beautiful, but she won't give me the time of day." she sighed, "Be her friend first, don't rush her, and come onto her.. if you want so bad to go out with her, I might talk to her for you."
Troy looked at her, his eyes shining gratefully, "That would be ...grea-" she held up a hand to silence him, "slow your roll, hunky doll face," he narrowed his eyes as she smirked. "What now?" she rolled her eyes, "one, watch how you talk to me; don't make me pissy. Two, Gabi-aka my bestest friend ever-" "bestest-" she groaned, "grow up and don't interrupt." "Sorry." "and three...don't slouch, it ruins the chances for a good erection and trust me...when you see Gabi all cleaned up and looking not so much like a waitress, you'll get one-but not if you keep slouching."
Troy rolled his eyes, "Okay, what should I do? what is she interested in?" Sharpay smirked, "She interested in alot of things.. but let's start with the basics." Troy nodded, "Okay..what do you got?" Sharpy digged through her bag, and pulled out 'The Lucky One' Novel by Nicholas Sparks. "This is her number one favorite book and author.. you read this book tonight, and come in tomorrow, you'll have a date tomorrow with her, I gurantee it."
He picked up the book, examining it, "Uh..." he started, looking up at Sharpay, "this is a romance..." she nodded slowly, "uh..yeah, it's her favourite book." Troy looked at it again, then at her, "Romance isn't exactly my favourite genre of ..books..or movies...or anything." Sharpay shrugged taking the book from him, and putting it back in her purse, "fine, guess you don't want to go out with her that bad." Troy's eyes widened, "NO! I do!" she looked at him smugly, "really now?" he nodded quickly, "Yes!"
she rolled her eyes, "Then read the book..then take her to go see the movie, that could be your first date." Troy nodded, "okay, so what do I do? how do I show her I like the book?" Sharpay smiled, "Tomorrow, when you come in, don't flirt with her, or even look at her, just read the last page of the book and finish it." Troy raised a brow, "But I haven't read it." she rolled her eyes, "Your reading it all tonight.. trust me, she'll bring her hate for you up to a dislike." Troy rolled his eyes, "Alright, We'll see what happens."
TGTGTGTG
The next day, Gabriella was cleaning tables, and taking up orders. when Troy walked in, he saw her, and quickly slipped into the booth and opened the book, he actually enjoyed reading the book, who knew. Sharpay passed him, "Did you read the book?" he looked at her smirking, "Yes, I actually finished it." sharpay nodded and looked at Gabriella who was coming this way, "She's coming." she walked quickly. Troy looked down at the book as Gabriella cameover with a notepad, "what can I get you today Troy? the same thing?" he looked at her, "Yeah just the same." she nodded and looked at the book he was reading, she gasped, "You read Nicholas Sparks?" he smirked, "Yeah, this is the first book I read of his, and I actually kind of like it." she smiled, "It's my favorite."
Troy smiled, "I know." "what?" he mentally slapped himself, "uh...I meant you just look the type of girl to..read...romance." She narrowed her eyes, not saying anything, but then again, her eyes said it all. He stammered, "Wait! That came out wrong!" "sure it did...chocolate shake coming up." she jotted it down on the notepad, and walked away. He let his head fall on the table, banging it several times. "Stupid...stupid...stupid...fucking stupid..."
"I'll say." he looked up to see Sharpay, smirking. "I'm not in the mood blondie." she snorted, "you got one strike..." he let his head hit the table again, "don't remind me." "Quote the book." he lifted his head, "what?" she sighed, taking the book from him and opening it to the page where Logan was telling Beth what he made for dinner one night. She handed it back to him, "order a sandwich...like that...quote the damn book."
Gabriella came back with his shake sitting it infront of him. "there." he looked at her, "Great.. umm I actually would like to order something?" she rolled her eyes, "Yes, what?" he smiled, clearing his throat, "Turkey Sandwich on wheat, With a Pickle." Gabriella smiled, "You just quoted Logan Thibault." he smiled, "I know, it's my favorite part of the book." she smiled, "Can I show you mine?" he nodded giving her the book and turning to the page were Logan and Beth Meet. "I think it's funny, mysterious, and sweet how they meet each other." Troy looked down at her, she was beautiful. "Yeah, it is." they looked into each other's eyes, and for some reason it sent sparks down both their spines, "Umm.. I'll bring your sandwich out." she gave his book back to him going back to the kitchen.
Troy picked up the book, reading it where Gabriella had left it open; he read this chapter already, but the way she described it...he just felt like reading it again. In fact, he didn't notice when Gabriella came back with his sandwich. "Turkey on wheat. Pickle." He looked up smiling, "that's me..." she smiled a small smile, setting it in front of him. "Enjoy it." she turned to walk away, Troy was feeling like he was on cloud 9 as he watched her curvacious hips swing from side to side.
Gabriella was in the back kitchen. Sharpay came through the swinging double doors. "Gabs, guess whose here." Gabriella giggled, "Johnny Depp?" Sharpay sighed, "I wish, but no.. Shane is here." Gabriella's eyes went wide, "S-Shane.. my Ex Shane.." Sharpay nodded, "He wants to see you right now." Gabriella sighed going through the double swinging doors to come face to face with her Ex-Boyfriend Shane. "Shane.." she said. he looked at her smiling, "Gabi.. hey." he pulled her close for a hug. "what are you doing here?" he sighed getting down on one knee, "I came back here for a second chance, with you.. I know I screwed up last time, but will you marry me." Gabriella pulled away, "No way in hell! not what after you did to me!" she yelled.
Troy watched the scene unfold, "Gabriella. come on, please, she..she came on to me, you weren't giving me sex or anything." she glared at him, "I was in the hospital! Sick! you were suppose to be there for me, but no you were out sleeping with your ex-girlfriend!" she had tears in her eyes, "Gabs, I'm sorry, okay.. I am so sorry what I did to you, your beautiful, I want you as mine again, I'll never cheat on you again-" "Just leave shane." "No! you will be mine again!" he pulled her close. Troy got up, "Hey be careful with my girlfriend."
Shane snapped his head to Troy, "Exscuse me?" Gabriella looked at him smiling softly. Troy wrapped his arm around her, "Get your hands off my girlfriend, she's with me now." Gabriella smirked going along with the plan, "Yes, his my new boyfriend Shane, I'm over you.." Shane glared, "I don't believe that!"
She giggled, "Oh really?" Shane nodded, "You two kiss, and I'll believe it." Gabriella's eyes went wide, "Umm I don't think-" before she could speak Troy's lips crashed down on hers, and she melted into the kiss wrapping her arms around him. the kiss brought a spark through their veins.
Shane's eyes went wide, Gabriella and Troy pulled apart from each other looking at each other startstruck, "W-wow.." the both said in unison. Sharpay rolled her eyes, "Thanks for stopping by shane, but your presence is no longer needed, buh-bye." she pushed Shane out the door, smirking at Troy and Gabriella. Gabriella looked at him, "umm thanks..for..umm that..." she smiled sheepisly.
Troy cleared his throat, "Ye..yeah...no problem." Gabriella blushed all shades of red, before pulling away from Troy. He scratched the back of his neck, "So..." she cleared her throat, "uh...yeah, so I better get back to work." he nodded, "don't let me stop you...I uh...yeah." When Gabriella turned around to walk back into the kitchen. He watched her perfectly round deriere, "Uh...want to hang out tomorrow?" she turned slightly, "uh-" "not a date...but, The Lucky One's playing in theaters...and-" "7." "What?" she giggled, "that's when I get off."
He smiled, she giggled coming back over to him, "How about tonight...after I get off?" he nodded, "Perfect, I'm not doing anything.." she nodded, "Great, pick me up at this address." she grabbed the notepad and wrote down her address giving it to him. he nodded, "Cool, I'll be there around 7:30." she nodded, "Okay..see you then." she turned to walk off, but he stopped her, "Is this a date?" she giggled and smirked walking back to him, "Tell you what, If I keep looking at the movie and don't look at you, it's just two friends hanging out.." she came closer to his face, "But, If I look at you and smile..It's date." she kissed his nose, "See you at 7:30." and she walked away.
Troy smiled, grabbing the address as if it were made of glass, and folding it carefully before putting it in his pocket. He was jumping for glee on the inside, he scored a date with Gabriella, after...a month? of waiting. He truly was on cloud- "You're drooling." he turned to see Sharpay smirking at him, he moved his hand to his mouth-damn it, he really was drooling. He wiped it. "Hey...I'm happy, don't bring me down." she rolled her eyes, "I wouldn't dream of it Logan." He looked at her, she snorted, "The Lucky One, Thibault?" "Oh.."
