Troy threw his bag onto his bed then tugged his shirt over his head going to stand in front of the mirror. He lent forwards and touched the blue heart; he'd awoken that morning to find the tattoo. It was directly over his heart and he had no idea how it got there. The tattoo was a deep blue heart but with one word written in delicate white script through the middle; Gabriella.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair there was only one person he knew call Gabriella; Gabriella Montez.

He rolled his eyes and dropped back onto his bed, his head was going a million miles a minute. She loved basketball, she could play basketball, her eyes were the kind he could stare into a never look away, her laugh was like magic, he was dying to run his fingers through her hair and he'd give almost anything to hold her hand. He shot up his eyes wide...

"Holy Fucking hell I'm falling for Gabriella Montez!"

Gabriella next morning...

She stared at her reflection and frowned, suddenly she wrenched her jumper over her head and tugged off her jeans. She grabbed her white knee length skirt and light blue cami pulling them on she smiled... much better. Slipping her feet into her blue flip flops she grabbed her bag and hurried down stairs waving to her mom as she grabbed an apple and headed for the door.

"Gabriella?" Her mother frowned.

"Yes Mami?" She asked spinning around to face her.

"You look very pretty sweetheart; you should wear things like that more often." She smiled and Gabriella blushed before swinging the door open and walking out.

Sharpay was waiting for her outside school and the pair walked in together laughing and giggling for no real reason. Gabriella almost walked straight into someone as she was looking over at Sharpay.

"Oh God I'm sorry I didn't see you!" She apologised and looked up to see Troy "Oh"

"Er... Hey..." His voice softened and he looked away "Gabriella"

"Hey Troy" She smiled up at him turning his cheeks a light pink; Gabriella tilted her head to one side. He looked up and stared straight into her chocolate brown eyes making her gasp at the intense look. Finally Gabriella bit her lip and looked down trying to hide her smile.

"I better go..." He paused and looked down at her "I'll see you later?" He asked almost shyly, Gabriella nodded and he hurried past.

"What was that?" Sharpay asked grinning and nudging her friend.

"What?" She frowned.

"Hello? Are you blind Gab? He's totally into you" She giggled and Gabriella rolled her eyes as they stopped at her locker.

"He is not Sharpay"

"Gab Troy Bolton is not nervous or shy, he does not whisper girls names, he does not stare into their eyes until they look away and he most defiantly does not ask to 'see them later'" She smirked using air quotations.

"What are you on about Shar?" The brunette laughed as she shut her locker.

"Gab... He likes you" She giggled.

"Shar he does not!" She almost yelled before blushing and ducking her head.

"Not what you said Sunday" The blonde replied her smirk growing as Gabriella's head snapped up.

"You know what happened Sunday?" She asked and Sharpay rolled her eyes.

"Of course Gab, I was there. Honestly I don't know why you didn't ask me yesterday" She smiled and Gabriella gapped at her.

"What happened? Do you know how I got this tattoo? Why can't I remember?" She fired and Sharpay held up her hands.

"Whoa slow down, I only know what happened right up until you left with Mr. Basketball Captain" Sharpay snorted at the look on Gabriella's face and held up a hand as the brunette opened her mouth "We went to the club where you proceed to down drink after drink, hence the memory loss. Anyway Troy Bolton turned up and practically threw himself at you, you danced for hours while he was practically attached by the mouth to your neck. You bounded up to me all giddy and excited and said you and Troy were going to the park then grabbed his hand and disappeared... from there on I'm clueless" The blonde finished and giggled at the look on Gabriella's face.

"Me and Troy?" She asked and Sharpay nodded.

"He was pretty heavy on the drink too my guess is he's just as clueless as you, but he kept saying these things in different languages" She giggled at the memory of the infatuated Troy Bolton "Finish them all with 'always have' though... dunno what he was saying." She shrugged and Gabriella frowned.

"Can you remember them?" She asked and Sharpay frowned.

"A few... he said... T'estimo always have, erm... S'agapo always have, Eg elska tig always have and there was one more you seemed to swoon at erm... Ess teva millo, or something like that, always have." She shrugged and Gabriella's eyes went wide.

"Es tevi miilu?" She asked and Sharpay nodded snapping at her fingers.

"That's it!"

"Shar... do you know what that means?" She whispered and the blonde shook her head.

"No... what?"

"That's Latvian for... I love you" She murmured and Sharpay's eyes widened.

"He was telling you he loved you in about one hundred languages... that is so cute" She smiled eyes glazing over suddenly the bell rang "Oh shit! Ms Darbus is gunna kill us!" She groaned, grabbing Gabriella's hand and pulling her down the hall.

Lunch...

Troy sat down at his table next to Chad and sighed; all he could think about was Gabriella and it was starting to drive him mad. It was as if he couldn't think unless she was with him, as if he needed her to live. Shaking his head he picked up his apple about to bite it when she walked in Sharpay at her side. His eyes lit up and he couldn't stop the smile that covered his face.

"Who are you looking at?" Chad asked noticing his best friends look and followed his gaze. "Sharpay? Dude no way!" He laughed but Troy ignored him. Gabriella's table was on the other side of the room but she would have to walk right past him to get to it.

He watched as she filled her tray with food and waited for her friend before the pair began to weave in and out of tables to get to their own. About 15 people tried to get Sharpay to sit with them but every time she shook her head following the labelled 'nerd'. His respect for the blonde increased dramatically and he smiled; he'd never realised how much of a good person Sharpay Evan's was before. Suddenly the scent of lavender washed over him as Gabriella got within touching distance.

"Hi Ella" He smiled and she looked down at the nickname. Her face lit up at the sight of him then her eyes darted up to look at the table full of people who'd made fun of her over the last year and she nodded before taking a step forwards. "El wait!" Troy called, suddenly the whole hall fell silent and Gabriella flushed a brilliant red.

"Ella?" She whispered and Troy grinned, he'd thought it suited her much better.

"Wanna sit?" He asked ignoring the gasps from the people behind him, she quickly shook her head.

"No thank you, I'm fine" Before he could say anymore she'd hurried off to sit with Sharpay a brilliant red flush burning her cheeks. Troy's hand wondered to his chest and it rested over his heart a frown covering his face.
