- Chapter 4 : Hobbies and Telling(Gabriella P.O.V)-

I grabbed my water bottle and went to my room. I grabbed my song book and my lavender and black acoustic guitar and sat in my over stuffed black club chair. I stare at my light cream walls thinking of what to sing. I think of what people would say if they knew how crazy me and my friends really were. I opened up my song notebook and flip a couple of pages to a set of lyrics I had already started. I strummed a few chords and I sang softly :

Me and all my friends

Were all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing

And there's no way we ever could.

Now we see everything that's going wrong

With the world and those who lead it

We just feel like we don't have the means

to ride above and beat it

So we keep on waiting(waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system

When were standing at a distance

So we keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

(Waiting on the world to change by John Mayer)

I jot down the rest of the lyrics into my notebook and I heard two faint 'wow's in the back round. I looked around my room and couldn't find anyone.

"Gabriella, why didn't you tell me you could sing?" Someone said from outside the window. I walk over and sure enough, standing there is my boyfriend and Chad, staring at my window, looking completely awestruck.

" Yeah I mean come on Gabster! You're really good." Chad shouted to the window.

"Ummm..I never told anyone 'cause...Well because I didn't think I was any good." I replied avoiding their dropped jaws.

"Well obviously you were wrong." Chad said earning a slap on the back of the head from Troy. "Ouch! Man, how many times am I going to be able to say that the Gabster was wrong? Think about it!" Chad told Troy.

Troy hesitated "He's got a point there, Brie."

"Yeah, well, It's just a hobby. So you won't be able to hear it often, unless you catch me on a weird day, or live with me." I said smirking.

"yeah, more Gabi music for me!" Troy screamed dancing around child like.

"Yeah, whatever. Hey Gabster could you bring down Troy's dock? Please?" Chad asked bringing his hands together to beg.

" Yeah, be right there!" I said. I grabbed Troy's iPod and dock off of his desk, finally realizing how much I miss being called 'The Gabster'. Running down the stairs I remember before school started how Chad, Taylor, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, and Troy practically lived at each others houses. Me getting called "Gabster" all the time by Chad. The easy life, before cliques, school, sports, and puberty set us apart. God Middle school was awful. I gave Chad the dock and went to the garage to get the tool box for the boys.

Troy p.o.v-

My eyes wander over Brie as she goes to get the tools. I just stared after her.

"Troy? Are you checking Gabster out? Something you want to tell me?" Chad asks smirking, knowing he is busting me.

"What? Is there a law that says I can't stare at my own girlfriend?" I asked sarcastically. Chad's mouth drops to the floor. "Girlfriend?" He squeaked.

I nodded.

"Finally , man! After months of watching you daze after her, I was going to ask her for you myself! Congrats man!" Chad said, his face got serious for a second. "But just know if you hurt her, I will be the first one to kick your ass." Chad warned. "Then I will let Mrs. Pink-and-Fluffy, Music lover, and brainiac after you." I smile at Chad's reference to Gabriella's best friends Sharpay, Kelsi, and Taylor.

"I would never do that Chad. She means way too much to me. I love her with my whole fucking heart , man! I don't know what I would do with myself If I ever hurt her." I said.

Gabi p.o.v.-

I come back with the tools and saw the guys taking the parts out of the box.

"Here you go, One of my dad's old tool box's." I said smiling. I hand the box to Troy, he takes it from my hands and kisses my cheek. 'I told Chad' He whispered in my ear. I nod my head, peck his lips and then walk off smiling. Then I hear 'Dude you are so totally whipped' and 'Oh, shut up and get to work Danforth'. I grab my phone and text my girls.

Hey Ladies,

Can you guys come over for a few hours. Troys got Chad over and we need to catch up. Besides, I need to tell you guys something.

~Gabriella

Of course, I'll pick up the girls and be over there soon

~Sharpay E.

Sharpay is going to pick me up

~Kelsi

Same here! be there soon, Gabs!

~Taylor

I knew they would be here with in the next five minutes, so I went and put our shirts into the dryer. Then, just as I throw in the shirts, the doorbell rings. Walking to the door I see Sharpay's pink convertible through the window. I open it seeing my friends Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi all standing there in springy outfits. Sharpay had on a pink and white sundress with black leggings on underneath, her long blonde hair curled and put into a side pony-tail. Taylor had on a dark blue blouse with dark jeans, leaving her short hair straight down. Kelsi had a black and gray 'Julliard' shirt on under her tan vest, light slightly tattered jeans and chuck Taylors on her feet, leaving her wavy shoulder length chestnut-brown hair down.

"Hey Ladies, I 'm sooo glad you came over." I said letting them into the house.

"Of course, Gabi. As soon as I saw your text I was on my way to pick them up." Sharpay said.

" Soo.. Gabi what do you have to tell us?" Taylor asked

"Not here, tower." I said. They all all slip off their shoes and follow me up the stairs. We climb the stairs to my room and as soon as we reach my closet I pull apart my clothes and open the little secret door that's in my wall. It's just big enough for us to duck into it. Climbing through it there is room that is filled with boxes left over from my brother when he moved out, our old stuff, and my Dad's stuff. We climb a spiral stairway up to our tower. The tower was at the top of our house, it was in a circular shape and had five windows. Each window had window benches built-in, each one decorated to our personalities. Sharpay's is all pink , fluffy, and sparkly with musical awards and picture's of her and Zeke hung all around. Kelsi's is decorated with sheet music, pictures of her and her boyfriend Ryan, Sharpay's twin brother, Musical brochures from the school musicals she composed for, she also had a little music box that sang the song she and Ryan composed together that sat on her window sill. Taylor's is filled with books, academic awards, chemistry tests she had aced, it was covered in bold colors and pictures of the whole group before Middle School started. My window has a little more down to earth feeling. I had taped lyrics to my window,both mine and some that I really like, a little jewelry box filled with friendship bracelets and a necklace from Troy, I had patched pillows that my Mama, Mrs. Bolton, and I made when I was little. My window bench was covered in blues, greens, browns, purples, oranges and different patterns varying from simple polka-dots and swirls to complicated damask prints. From my window I have a great view of Troy's bedroom window. I used to flash lights and lasers at his window to freak him out when we were young. Next to my window is a cream lamp with light lavender butterflies and dark brown flowers that I had decorated with paint. The lamp sits on the multi-colored desk that we painted in the 5th window. It's filled with pictures of us we take every year, report cards hidden from parents, art supplies, stories , movie tickets, shells collected from trips to the beach, drawings, props from musicals, hats , and trophies. A white fluffy rug covers the hard wooden floor. The only people who know of our tower is my mama, us and Troy's mom knew, since she helped us decorate. We all take our spots and I finally under all of the antagonizing stares, I can't hold it any longer.

" Troy and I are dating!" I blurt out. I was surprised at their reaction, it was nothing like what I expected. They didn't yell 'what' or 'why', they just sat there and smiled, giggled, and said congrats.

"Wait? What? You guys saw this coming?" I said frowning, literally confused.

"Gabriella, Honey, we knew you had feelings for Troy, then when you said we was moving in with you we knew it was bound to happen. In fact we even made a bet, Pay up Ladies!" Sharpay demanded. Both Taylor and Kelsi groaned and gave Sharpay twenty bucks..

"So Gabi, how did he ask you?" Kelsi asked putting her hand on her chin and elbow to her knee.

I told them our story from this morning to our date. I didn't tell them about our nacho cheese fight, I figured it would be better if I left out the part about me going shirt-less in front of Troy. We caught up on the latest drama. From our favorite T.V. shows to what is actually happening in real life and then went back down stairs to watch some movies untill Troy and Chad came in and declared they were hungry. Then we moved into the kitchen and made us all dinner. Homemade spaghetti. Troy's Favorite. Then after dinner the girls said that they were happy we were together and that both Troy and I deserved each other. I sent them home because I didn't want to pretend to be my mom talking on the phone to their mothers, telling them how sorry I was for making them late. Chad said thanks for the food then left, but not before teasing Troy and I. Leaving me to do the dishes and Troy to pick up his and Chads mess out side.

When we both finished we layed down on the couch and cuddled. Wich lead to kissing, really hot heated kissing. Our tounges danced and hands roamed under shirts. Troy carried me to his room without breaking the kiss. He let me down as soon as he closed the door with his foot. We backed up tword the bed and I let myself fall when my knees hit the edge of the bed. Troy had his hands were on the hem of my shirt, slowly pulling it up, eventually pulling it over my head. I pulled his shirt off and threw it some where on the floor. His lips left my mouth and trailed down to my neck and shoulders. He slipped of one bra strap, kissing his way down, sucking giving me a trail of red marks down my chest. I moaned pulling his head back to my face and kissing him hard. Though I love Troy, I didn't want to go any father tonight. Mostly because we just started this thing today and we've already made so much progress in one day. He eventually got the idea and didn't do anything I already haven't let him do. After about 20 minutes we just layed there in each others arms, falling to sleep, feeling amazing just having them there. When I had woke up from my nightmare Troy was right there and calmed me down with kisses and kind words. We slept peacefully that night, laying there in each others arms, waiting for what ever tomorrow may bring us.
