Chapter 3: I still like you!

--

RECAP: About fifteen minutes later, they were really into the music, especially Gabriella. As they danced they grinded against each other and danced as close as possible to each other as they could. It was almost as if they were drunk but they weren't. They were as sober as they could possibly get.

They slowed down a bit talked.

"I'm gonna call you Briella is that okay?" asked Troy and Gabriella nodded in response.

"So Briella I haven't actually seen you around East High."

"That's because I go to West High."Gabriella looked at him but his face was unreadable.

--

Troy looked like he was in a deep thought from Gabriella view. Great that's all I need! I find someone I think I like and now he's gone off me!

Gabriella frowned while thinking this but a voice took her out of her thoughts.

"Well, I'm gonna make an exception for a beautiful girl like you."

Gabriella looked up to see Troy grinning and smiled. She felt so happy. She never thought she would be falling for Troy or anyone else for that matter but it was happening and hard. The same was also happening to Troy and it looked like everything was going their way. Troy took Gabriella's hand, intertwined them and led her outside to the back. They sat there for a few minutes and Troy wrapped his arms around Gabriella as it was quite cold and Gabriella was wearing a dress that wasn't suited for the cold.

Then they looked at each other, staring in to the others eyes, not letting a moment go of what were found in them. Before they had time to register they were both leaning in and met in a soft but sweet kiss. They pulled back and both smiled. Troy and Gabriella felt fireworks go off around them and a huge spark every single time they touched.

Troy and Gabriella leaned in again since they loved the last time, kissing passionately for a second time and the same happened again. Fireworks, sparks and all were let off inside them.

"Troy is this possible?" Asked Gabriella.

"Is what possible?"

"Falling for you this quickly, because I mean I've only known you for an hour and a half and yet I feel as though I know everything there is to know about you. At the same time I feel there is a whole lot of other things I gotta find out."She comprehended.

"That's the same with me." Gabriella moved in closer to Troy.

"Troy what happens if people don't like us hanging out together because I'm from West High and your from East High. Like is this right? Is this really meant to happen? We're from Rivalry schools and 

everyone would hate it. Oh My Jonas! Shar and TayTay don't even know." Gabriella kept rambling on while troy just shook his head at her.

"Brie, listen to me let's put this down to fate. Fate is what brought us together and if us meeting wasn't meant to go smoothly then why would fate do this to us? And I don't care who doesn't want us to know each other. And you shouldn't either."

"I guess your right." Admitted Gabriella. Troy turned to look at Gabriella full on.

"Briella, it's like love at first sight and that's what happened when I first looked at you," Gabriella smiled at this "You actually know the real me even after only a little while of knowing me. That's all I ever wanted, someone who knows the real me. Troy Bolton the person, the person on the inside. Not Troy Bolton hottie wildcat superstar. I've never actually felt like his before and i can already say it's something I'm gonna hang on to for a long time."

Gabriella hit him on the arm lightly and said "though it is a plus for you... and me, hopefully I'll get to see you in your hot wildcat basketball uniform."

"You will definitely," flirted Troy.

"So that's a date then," giggled Gabriella. "I'm gonna need your number and your gonna need mine to arrange a time and day."

They took out their phones and put their numbers in. Troy wanted to take a picture of Gabriella. "Briella, can you pose for me?" They both stood up from their places on the ground.

"No! I don't do poses, I'm shy."

"Please? If your gonna dress like a model then you might as well pose like one." Troy pouted as she blushed at what he said and then she smiled. "Fine but just once." Gabriella put her hands on her hips and looked at Troy. He took the picture and closed his phone quickly after saving it.



"Troy I wanna see it!!" Yelled Gabriella.

"Sorry no can do!"

"Troy!!"

Gabriella ran over to him and pouted. It didn't work so she jumped on his back and tried to take his phone. She tries with all her strength to out-smart Troy but it wasn't working since he was too good for her. "Whoa, since when did Gabriella Montez jump on peoples back even though she's shy?"

Gabriella just gave him a stern glare and he showed it to her. After to the likes of Gabriella they went inside to dance since it was getting even colder outside.

Controversy broke out outside between the few people who were there and watching the playful couple. Also, mainly wondering and trying to figure out who the mystery brunette girl was.

TROYELLA, ZEKEPAY, CHAYLOR

Once they got back inside Gabriella told troy she was gonna find Sharpay and Taylor. She kept looking and found them in a corner huddled together. As soon as she got there she knew something had happened.

"What happened?"

"Well let's just say I had to save Taylor from a stalker guy and he wasn't pretty. Tay's fine now," said Sharpay.



"Are you sure nothing else happened? Taylor are you definitely okay?"Asked Gabriella, coming into overprotective caring Gabriella mode.

"Yes. Gabriella don't worry and nothing happened that would scar me for life. Anyway, let's talk about you like where have you been all night?" She eyed Gabriella suspiciously.

"Yeah, where have you been?" asked Sharpay.

" Well ... I was with this guy and it was like love at first site. We spent the whole night dancing and talking and having fun. We even kissed!! It was fireworks and everything!!" gushed Gabriella while the other two looked at her in amazement.

"Well that's great for you but we couldn't find anybody we liked. Wait who is the guy?" Sharpay demanded to know since that question hadn't been asked.

"His name is Troy-,"started Gabriella only to be cut off by Sharpay.

"TROY BOLTON!"she shouted and with that she had already got everyone's attention. Sharpay just looked at them and said "What you never heard anyone shout before! Get on with what your doing and don't you know that staring is rude!"

Taylor then looked at Gabriella and where Gabriella was looking and that was at Troy.

"Gabs snap out of it! Gabs do you know what your doing? As in Troy Bolton because if he has been treating you badly then we don't approve."

"Did you not here what I just said? Anyway he's the best thing to happen to me in a long time!" Gabriella said with a huge smile on her face.

"Yeah but he's Troy Bolton from East High, a wildcat! He's our schools biggest rival!"



"Shar he is just a person and just cause everyone hates him it doesn't mean we have to. I don't care what they think and you should neither especially since we won't be at West High much longer." Gabriella stated cleverly.

"Fine but it you see any cute boys that we might like let us know. Don't worry you can go back to Troy Boy."Gabriella blushed at this but smiled straight after thinking about how happy she was that her friends supported her friendship with Troy. (If that's what they call it when two people aren't going out but kissed.)

Gabriella walked away from her best friends and over to Troy who led her to sit with him on the couch that was near the door. They sat down and Troy looked at Gabriella and smirked.

"So what was blondie shouting about moi for?"

"That was Sharpay and standing next to me was Taylor by the way. Anyway I was telling her and Taylor what I was doing when I wasn't in their presents," said Gabriella softly. "And they were also whining about how they couldn't find any boys to hang around with that were their types." Gabriella rolled her eyes at this.

"Maybe they were jealous that you were with me!" Troy said cockily.

"No that definitely couldn't be it!"Gabriella joked. She looked at Troy who pretended to be hurt.

"Do you want me to kiss it better?"

"Yes I would." Gabriella kissed him but it turned out into a heated make-out session for them both. Once they pulled away Troy immediately said "I know who Sharpay and Taylor could hook up with! My Best buds Chad and Zeke. I don't know whether it would work but we could try."

"Okay. We'll do it. Where are Chad and Zeke?" Gabriella got up to get Sharpay and Taylor.

"I don't know but just meet me in the room that has the evil smiley face on the door."

Gabriella looked frightened. "But isn't that room haunted. There was a rumour going around and it seemed pretty true!"

"Briella, it's not haunted I promise you," Troy said sincerely.

"How do you know?" Gabriella shot back.

"Because I made up the rumour." Gabriella giggled and hit Troy on the arm playfully. Troy kissed Gabriella on the lips lightly and walked off to find Chad and Zeke. Gabriella strolled over to Taylor and Sharpay.

"Come on."

"Where are we going?" asked Sharpay.

"To the room with the evil smiley face on it."

"But that roomed haunted!!" Taylor said quickly just as Sharpay was about to say it. "That rumours not true," stated Gabriella smiling.

"How do you know that?"

"Because Troy made it up," giggled Gabriella. She just walked off in the direction for the room leaving Taylor and Sharpay trailing behind wondering what they were going in there for.
