Gabriella slipped into the library, holding the note she recieved in her locker from Troy. She finally found him sitting in one of the tables, supposedly reading from a thick textbook. Gabriella slipped into a seat next to him with a happy smile.

"Hey, cupcake." Gabriella said, laughing at the nickname.

"Hey...cookie?" Troy said, with a little chuckle.

"Cookie?" Gabriella said making a 'is-that-all-you-can-think-of' look. "I give you a soft, frosted, and sprinkled dessert and you gave me...cookie?"

Troy laughed. "What did you want? Watermelon?"

"No, something...fresh, cool, and...fun." Gabriella said nodding.

Troy laughed again, throwing his head back. "It's like your describing Mentos."

"I like Mentos better." Gabriella said, laughing.

Troy laughed with her. "Fine, Mentos." he said, making her let out a loud giggle, and he suddenly had the feeling, the heart-racing feeling.

"Shush!" the librarian cried. "Mr. Bolton, Ms. Montez, quiet." she said, as she past them.

Gabriella nodded, and hit Troy when she left their presence.

"Ow, what was that for?" he said, making her giggle.

Gabriella looked over the book he was reading. "Ooh, that stuff's hardcore." she said, sarcastically. "The dictionary? Man, you're hardcore."

"Yup," Troy said, smugly. "That's how I roll..." he said, with a big smirk.

Gabriella giggled, but quickly covered her smiling mouth with her palm. "Oh, guess what? Sharpay said we could totally double date with her and Zeke. You should call her."

"What would I say? I mean, what if she asks why? Shouldn't you call her?" he wondered.

"No, just say I have some big test tomorrow and I can't call her, since I need a grade for...Chemistry or something." Gabriella said.

Troy made a face. "What? You don't need a grade."

"Uhh...just say I couldn't call, since I was busy. Just make something up. Aren't you the playmaker?" Gabriella asked, with a smirk,

"Fine, fine, fine. Just call me tonight, or I'll call before I call, okay? You need to prep me on what to say..." Troy said, nervously.

Gabriella laughed. "Troy, you must really like her, you're so...jumpy and nervous." she said. "Just calm down." she said.

Troy smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Mentos."

Gabriella laughed, and covered her smiling face. "No problem, cupcake. See you later," she said, kissing him on the cheek before running out of the library.

Troy touched his cheek, and smiled to himself. He'd never wash his face again...wait, he didn't like Gabriella? right?
