Troy sighed walking upstair, and going into his room. Gabriella bit her bottom lip looking up at him, "umm.. hey." she said while putting her shirt back on. he smiled, "Hey.. um listen, my mom said she was sorry for the whole thing, and that if you feel more comfortable, you can stay in my room."
Gabriella smiled, nodding, "I'd..I'd like that..a lot." Troy smiled nodding, "Good.." she smiled, and crawled and sat back on her knees, hugging his arm, "are you excited about the game friday?" he asked her.
"Yeah...it'll be my first one." He looked at her, "for real? You've never been to a.." she shook her head, "No. I've always been taking care of everything else to worry about me." Troy sighed, cupping her face gently, "You'll have fun, I swear it." She giggles, "you watch cheesy chick flicks." He chuckles, "don't you?" Gabriella giggles and titters, "maybe..kind of..." he looks at her, "okay so my favourite is The Lucky One-Zac Efron, very sexy."
Troy feigns a frown, "that hurts...he's sexier than me?" Gabriella smirks, "oh yeah, big time." "Well then..take that!" he starts tickling her like mad. "T-T-Troy! S-s-s-s-stop!" she laughs, "that...tickles!" Troy laugh, stradling her and tickling her like the madhatter on too much tea. "Say I'm sexier than Zac Efron!"
Gabriella giggled, "You both look the same!" she laughed, he tickled her more, "Say it!" she nodding laughing, "Okay, Okay..You're much sexier and smarter than Zac Efron..there!" he let go of her, "Well thank you Brie, that's such a nice compliment." she smirked, "you're so mean." she stuck her tongue out. Troy chuckled, "you love me." Gabriella smiled pecking his lips, "Yes..I do."

It was Wednesday, and it was two days before the game. Gabriella, Troy and the gang were hanging out at starbucks after school and were sitting around eating dinner and drinking coffee. Chad looked at Taylor, "So babe, you're wearing my East High Hoodie again right?" Taylor smiled kissing his lips, "You can bet on it.."
Troy sipped on his coffee, he was the only one on the team who hasen't gave up his east high hoodie yet to any girl. but he did know that Gabriella was the girl he was inlove with. Chad looked at Troy, "So Troy, any thought on who you were going to give your hoodie to yet?" Gabriella looked at him, "What hoodie?"
Troy sighed, looking into his coffee, "uhm...it's tradition that the members of the team give their hoodies to..their girlfriends. To wear to the game; for good luck." Gabriella nodded, playing with the tea bag that was sitting on the crumbled napkin in front of her as she sipped her chai. "Oh..and have you-"
"Oh!" Taylor screeched, "Chad, I totally forgot..we have that thing!" "what thing?" Chad says, Taylor grabs his arm and pulls him up. "You know, the thing at the place with the people..." Chad looks at her like she grew an extra set of eyes and another nose, "Taylor you're not making sense, what thing? what place? what people?" "I remember!" Sharpay screeched, pulling her boyfriend up as well. "I totally remember! Come on guys! I'll drive you!"
When they were alone, Troy cleared his throat and sipped his coffee again. Gabriella scooted closer to him, "Have you?" he looked at her, "huh? what?" she bit her inner cheek, then her lip, "have you...chosen who your going to give your hoodie too?"
Troy looked at her, "Actually...yeah...yes." Gabriella nodded, "Oh. Who?" "Uhm.." he turned around, pulling his hoodie from his backpack and twisting around to face Gabriella. "You."
Gabriella looked at it, she smiled, looking back at him, "are you sure?" he nodded, "Your my girlfriend...and I love you.." Gabriella smiled taking it in her hands and slipping it over her. It was big on her, and the sleeves hung low at the bottom, but she loved the hoodie already, it smelled like him and everything.
She giggled, "I love it...it's a perfect fit." she kissed his lips. he smiled, "You look great in it." Gabriella giggled, "So I just wear this to games, then give it to you after the games are over?" she asked.
He shook his head, "you wear it to the games, and..it's yours. To keep." Gabriella smiled, "you sure? It's ...a really nice hoodie." Troy chuckled, "Brie, it's yours."
"Okay then," she whispers, rolling up a sleeve and taking his hand. "Thank you...it's...really warm; like you." Troy smiled, leaning over and kissing her gently on the lips.
She smiled between the kiss, and pecking them and finishing up her muffin and coffee. Troy smiled, "I'll go pay for this, then we can head back home."
Gabriella nodded, "Alright." she threw her muffin away in the garbage. she stood up, picking up her coffee, and grabbing her bag, and Troy grabbed her hand leading her out of starbucks.
Friday night, the gym was wild, crazy, and the guys were pretty sweaty. the game was almost over, west high against east high. teams decided to take a break and Gabriella and Cory sat on the bleachers. "Gabi, can I go get some popcorn and soda." Gabriella nodded, "Sure, here, I'll go get it for you." she slipped off the bleachers and walking over to the food stand.
She smiled, "1 popcron, 2 sodas, and peanut m&m's." she gave the man $1o. "Hi." a voice spoke beside her. she looked up to see a guy with a west high jersey on. she bit her lip, "Umm..Hi." The man gave her the stuff and she thanked him. the boy followed her, "So, what do you think of west high?" Gabriella looked at him, "What?" he smirked, chuckling, "I don't wanna be a bad guy, so look," he grabbed her wrist, "I wanna know everything there is to know about Troy Bolton.. and your his property, his girl."
Gabriella shook her head, "Listen, I..I don't know..please, let me go, you're hurting me..please." Gabriella pushed him off of her, but he knocked the food on the floor and he grabbed her again, "Do I have to make this easy or hard?"
Gabriella whimpered, "Please, just let go of my arm, I need to get to my brother..." "Just tell me what you know about Bolton! I know you know." she shook her head, "Please, I don't.. just please let me go! please!"
"No!" The West high Knight said, Gabriella whimpered and began yelling, "Help me! someone help!" he pulled her by the neck of the hoodie, and lifted her up, "I said, tell me what you know about Bolton! or else!"
Gabriella shook her head, "No..please! Help!" the west high knight, went to toss her on the floor but suddenly he himself hit the floor when the basketball came flying at him; hitting his jaw and his ankle coming out in a funny and unnatural angle.
Gabriella sniffled, wrapping her arms around herself and burying herself in the hoodie. Soon, Troy was in front of her; "Stay away from her!" he yelled, "I mean it!"
Gabriella gulped looking up at Troy with fearful eyes. she had never seen him like this before. Blake swallowed nervously, "Dude, I..I'm sorry I was just-" "Leaving?" Blake looked at him, then at Gabriella, then back at Troy, "Umm yeah.." and he walked passed them and into the gym.
Gabriella looked at Troy, "T-Troy..I'm sorry...I didn't know..he just grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. please don't be mad at me..."
He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, rubbing her back soothingly, "Hey..I'm not mad, I'm not-" "Bolton!" Yells the coach, "Are you playing or what?" Troy sighed, pulling away, "you just stay on the bleachers okay?"
Gabriella nodded, biting her lip and kissing Troy on the cheek. "I just...I don't want to be hurt again. My father-I went through it a lot with him-" "BOLTON! You want us to forfeit?"
Troy sighed, "We'll spend all our time together when we go home.. pizza movie night?" Gabriella nodded biting her lip. he kissed her lips, walking away from her but Gabriella held his hand, "Troy.." he looked at her, "Yeah?" she smiled, "Just remember while your playing.. that I'm going to show you how much I love you.. "
Troy smirks, "I can't wait for that..." Gabriella giggled, pecking his lips and pulling away. "Now...go kick som west high ass?" Troy chuckles, "I'll do it for you...always. For you."
Gabriella smiled, wrapping her arms around herself and walking to her spot next to Cory and taking his hand in hers, "You want to watch a movie with Shawn, Cor?" Cory smiled, nodding, "Yea. Scary?" "Romance."
Gabriella replied, shaking her head. "NO!" Cory yells, but his voice is muted over the sudden restart of the game. "Scary! Scary!" Gabriella giggled, "of course Scary...but don't stay up too late watching it."
The game had restarted, Gabriella looked out onto the gym floor to see that Troy was going faster and he was playing his best. Gabriella smiled to herself.
She looked at him, and he smiled at her and dribbled down the court passing the ball to chad. Gabriella looked to the other team, and saw Blake looking at her, just studying her. It freaked her out, she wasen't going to lie.
**Run**
After the game, Troy, Gabriella, Shawn, and Cory got home. Shawn and Cory ran to the living room plopping on the couch and putting in Friday the 13th. Gabriella giggled and looked at Troy smiling. he was still pretty sweaty from the game.
Gabriella smiled kissing his lips softly, and wrapping her arms around his neck as she wrapped her legs around his waist. she still was wearing his east high red hoodie.
He carried her into his bedroom and layed her on the bed and crawling ontop of her. Gabriella held onto his arms firmly, and looking into his eyes, "You were amazing tonight wildcat.." she whispered.
Troy smiled at her, "You know, I played the best game of my life because all I was thinking about was you." Gabriella smiled, "Well you beat them wildcat, and that's all that matters." she kissed his lips. Troy kissed her passionately, his lips traveling down to her neck.
He pressed her further down on the bed, stripping off the hoodie and throwing it on the floor. she threw his jersey on the floor as they both sat on their knees kissing as Gabriella wrapped her arms around him, and her fingertips lightly tracing his back.
Troy's hand went to the back of her purple lacy bra, and unclipping it, and throwing it on the floor next to her. Gabriella placed her hands on his shoulders, "Are you nervous?" she asked him looking into his eyes.
He nodded, "A little...you?" Gabriella gulped, her fingers tracing light circles on his chest. "A little...a lot...I heard it hurts-losing IT." Troy shrugged, leaning forward to kiss her lips gently, he muttered against her skin, "I'll take good care of you. I promise."
Gabriella wrapped her arms around his shoulders; "I believe you.." she whispered into the kiss, Troy deepened the kiss into something more and their tongues danced a battle beyond words can describe; he laid her on her back; pushing her softly into the mattress below her.
She moans softly into the kiss, her hands raking over his back as his hands undo her jeans and slide them off her legs; she giggles when they get caught on her ankles, and Troy has to tug them off hard. "I ...hate...skinny...jeans." Troy growls, Gabriella giggled "Hey! You picked them out!" "Well...I don't like them right now..."
He had finally accomplished taking the jeans off and throwing them behind him. he crawled further ontop of her and deeping the kiss. Gabriella ran her hand through his hair. "Brie.. I.. I love you." Gabriella kissed his lips, "I love you too.."
He smirked going to the drawer beside him and taking out a condom, "Brie..I'm...I'm going to enter you slowly, it's going to hurt, but.. you should get used to it." Gabriella nodded biting her lower lip, "I'm ready." Troy nodded after slipping it on, he entered her slowly. Gabriella jumped, and arched her back into him. "are you okay?" Gabriella nodded, "It's just...it hurts.."
Troy bit his lip, "I'm sorry baby, I am so sorry." Gabriella held onto his shoulders, "Just move around a little bit..." Troy nodded and did as she said. soon the pain had dissapeared and was replaced with pleasure. Gabriella moaned, "Troy...that feels so good...go faster.."
He slowly began pumping, picking up speed with each pumping thrust; Gabriella felt small to big waves of pleasure come over her, "Oh..oh-oh...mm..Troy.." she shuddered underneath him, "Hmm.."
Troy kissed her hard; not withdrawing himself from her as he continued pumping and thrusting; Gabriella feels her core tighten and herself tighten around him as he thrust deeper and harder inside of her; reaching his climax and she reached hers. "Troy..hm, oh-oh...oh..Troy!"
Troy collasped over here, taking the condom off and throwing it in the trashcan by the bed side. he layed ontop of her, trying to catch his breath. "Are you okay?" he asked. Gabriella nodded kissing his lips, pulling the cover further on her.
"I'm fine.. It was amazing.." he smiled, "If I ever hurt you-" she silenced him, "Don't worry, you didn't." she kissed his lips, and pulled away and traced his chest, "Can I ask you something?"
Troy nodded, "Yeah definetly." "Why did blake... you know bother me tonight? I know you guys have this rival thing going on, but why would he try to get answers out of me?"
Troy sighed, "Because...he's a psychotic sociopath." Gabriella bit her lip, cupping his face and rubbing her hands on his face. "I love you..." he smiled, kissing her lips softly, "I love you...forever." She laid her head on his chest, smiling as she counted the quick beats of his heart. "One...Two...Three...Four...Five..."
Troy chuckled, "what are you doing?" "Shh," Gabriella giggled, "I'm counting your heart beats.." "Why?" he whispers, stroking her hair softly. She lifts her head and moves so she is laying on top of him. "Because...my heart is beating just as fast...so, I'm making sure it's real-not a dream."
Troy smiled grabbing her arm gently and rolling back ontop of her and kissing her hard. he pulled away breathlessly and leaned his forehead on hers, "Listen, I'm not trying to scare you, but I need you to be careful when it comes to the west high knights.."
Gabriella's eyes went wide, "W-what do you mean be careful?" Troy sighed, "I mean that...look this rival between us, it's pretty bad, so their going to try anything to damage the team, and that includes anything that's mine..."
"You mean they wanna use me to get to you?" "Or to hurt you to get to me..I can't let anything happen to you, so just be careful, don't go on their part of town or anything...at least not alone." Gabriella looked at him, "Troy..I'll be fine, don't worry."
He smiled leaning his forehead against hers, "I..I just can't picture not having you with me." Gabriella smiled warmly, "I..I can't either, I love you.. and don't worry, I'll be careful, I promise." he smiled, "That's all I want, is for you to be safe." "I feel safe in your arms." he kissed her passionately, then his phone vibrated that was in his jeans.
She smiled, "you should get that." Troy nodded rolling off of her and taking his phone out of the pocket, "Hello." "Dude, are you alone? I need to talk to you, it's important, it's about gabi." Troy looked at Gabriella, slipping on his jeans, "Brie, I'll be right back." she nodded laying down on the pillow, and Troy walked out into the hall.
"What's up?" "Dude, after the game, Kendall and I walked into the gym after everyone left, and we saw Blake and Aaron shooting hoops, they walked over to us and told us that if they see Gabriella alone.. their going to beat her up pretty bad." Troy growled, "Those bastards-" "Dude, we have to make sure she's not alone ever..."
He walked back into the room, "Yeah i know..." Troy said into the phone, Gabriella sat up, holding the blanket around her to cover her breasts and...well, the rest of her naked body. "Troy.." she whispered,
He holds up a hand. "Chad, I don't care, those knights are dead if they come anywhere near her-I swear it ...they hurt her, I will hurt them."
Gabriella bit her bottom lip, reaching over the bed and slipping on his east high wildcat hoodie. she then crawled to the end of the bed were he was sitting down at. she sat on her knees and looked at him. "Troy, if you beat them up you can get expelled-" "I don't care.. Gabriella is more important."
Gabriella held his hand, "Troy." he kissed her forehead, and wrapped an arm around her, "I'll talk to you later Chad. bye." he hung up the phone and rubbed his forehead. Gabriella stood up, and took both his hands, "Troy, your worrying too much about this.. I promise, I'm fine.. "
Troy sighed, "I know that...I trust you." "But?" Gabriella asks, Troy pulls her on his lap, wrapping an arm around her waist. "It's the knights that I don't trust." She sighed, "Well I don't blame you...I-" "What?" Troy asked, she sighed, "during the game, while you were playing...the knight-Blake-he was...staring at me. Like, he was studying me or something-" "I'll kill him." Troy said, moving her gently as he stood up; Gabriella grabbed his arm, "Troy-" "I'm going to protect you Gabriella."
Gabriella grabbed his arm, and pulled him towards her and wrapped her arms around him. "Troy...I know you want to protect me-" "I am going to protect you. no one is going to miss with you brie." Gabriella smiled, "Listen, I'll be careful.. I don't want you expelled or kicked off the team because of me, or because of getting into a fight with the west high knights."
"But Brie-" she put her finger to his lips, "No buts.." she giggled, "I love you." she kissed his lips, "I'm going to go check on cory and shawn then makes something to eat then go to bed." she cupped her hand to the side of his face and stroked his hair, "You going to be okay?" she asked.
Troy sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Yeah... I am." Gabriella sighed, hugging him tight to her and kissing his cheek. "Troy...please, I'm-I'm not worth a fight." He looked at her, "Brie-" "No." she argued, "I'm not worth it...please." He sighed, "Okay..I won't fight.." Gabriella smiled, "thank you." "You go check on Cory and Shawn.."
Gabriella nodded, "yeah..I'm doing that. See you down?" "yeah...soon." Gabriella nodded, walking out the door and downstairs. Troy waited until she was out of sight, then he picked up his phone and called Chad. "Chad...?" He looked from the bedroom door to the his window. "I'm coming, and...Blake is going to wind up in the hospital."
Troy climbed through the window and carefully climbing down the rose bush and jumping off of it and running down the street towards the west high park.
