Gabriella walked with Sharpay as they made their way to their apartment. Gabriella's head was deeply in the clouds as she walked back. She couldn't help but think of Troy. Troy Bolton. Those two words could easily made her blush and she haven't even been on a date with him yet. She still couldn't believe that a guy like Troy Bolton could be such a sweet and considerate guy but the most of thing she couldn't believe is that he asked for her number and asked her out. When Sharpay unlocked their apartment door, they both entered. Gabriella was going to float back to her room when Sharpay pulled her wrist and gave her a stare. Gabriella stared back at her back confused and waiting for her to say something.
"I can't beileve my boss, Troy Bolton, asked you out," Sharpay finally said.
I can't believe it either. He is quite a great guy and i just met him. Gabriella signed back happily.
"Your boss asked Gabriella out?" Taylor said as she walked out of the kitchen suddenly.
"Yes and i know that Gabriella is very excited for the date tomorrow," Sharpay added.
Taylor looked at Gabriella unbelievably, "You have a date tomorrow? Oh my gosh, Gabriella, that is so exciting. Who's your boss Sharpay?"
"Troy Bolton."
"The Troy Bolton? The great grandson of Milly and Kenneth Bolton that started and founded Trendy Scene? That Troy Bolton?" Taylor asked shockingly.
Gabriella nodded while Sharpay answered her yes. Taylor was surprised and happy because Gabriella have never ever dated a guy in her life.
The three girls spent the rest of their night talking about Troy and helping Gabriella to choose her outfit for her date the next day. Gabriella had to admit she was starting to get a little nervous and when Gabriella is nervous about something, she would start thinking negatively. But she quickly snapped out of it when she thought about the ride home with Troy. He was so easy to interact with. So understanding and so not a jerk. She slept that night with happy thoughts of how the date would go the next day. She couldn't wait.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Troy got out of work at 5pm so he could get ready and pick up Gabriella at her house. When he woke up in the morning, he was very anxious about his date with her. He kept thinking of ditching work just to go to their date at that moment. But Sharpay told him that Gabriella was busy at work. When he was at his office, he still couldn't get her out of his mind. Something about her was just so addictive to him and he just met her the day before that.
After finishing getting ready, he hopped on in his car and drove to Gabriella's apartment building. He noticed that he was getting more and more nervous as he got out of his car. He mumbled to himself to relax as he walked to their apartment door. He nervously rang the doorbell and waited for the door to open. A few seconds later, he saw Sharpay opened the door.
"Hey boss. You're...on time. Maybe even a little early," Sharpay teased.
"Well i guess i just couldn't wait," Troy answered nervously.
"I can tell. Word of advice, don't be too nervous around Gabriella. She's really easy to talk to. Just don't treat her like dirt. She really likes you," Sharpay said.
"She does? Wow. I really like her too. I just feel like there's something about her you know," Troy admitted.
"Do you get like...butterflies when you're around her?" Sharpay asked suspiciously.
"I got butterfiles when i first saw her."
"And you don't care that she is...you know..."
"No. Of course not. What, just because she can't hear dosen't mean she's a monster or something."
Sharpay smiled. "Right. Well Gabriella is almost ready. I'll go get her. You wanna come in?"
"Sure. Thank you," Troy said. "So where's you're other roomate?"
"Oh, you mean Taylor? She's at work. She likes to stay at the boutique even after hours. She's a little weird if you asked me." Sharpay said before she walked to Gabriella's room.
Troy stood at the living room akwardly as he waits for Gabriella. When he turned his head, he saw both Gabriella and Sharpay making their way to the living room to where he was standing. Even though Gabriella wore a simple outfit with a cardigan and jeans, he was quite mesmerized by her. She walked to him with a big smile on her face.
"Wow. You look amazing," Troy said.
Gabriella smiled and signed back thank you to him. Troy also started smiling too and then he turned to Sharpay. "I'm guessing we'll be going now. I promise i'll bring her back in one piece," Troy joked.
"You better. Or me and Taylor will make sure that you'll never be in one piece ever again," Sharpay said in serious tone.
"Ohhkay. We'll be going now," Troy said while holding on Gabriella's hand and pulling her out of the apartment.
When they reached Troy's car, Troy opened the door for Gabriella. So far so good. He's quite a gentleman. Gabriella thought in her head. Before Troy started the engine, he took something from the backseat and gave it to Gabriella. Gabriella took it and looked at Troy's face.
"I figured that a mini whiteboard is much more easier for you to write than a bunch of papers," Troy explained. "Plus you'll save the trees."
Gabriella smiled gratefully at him. She wished she got something for him. Then she took a marker and wrote on the mini whiteboard. So where are we going? She then gave it to Troy to read it.
"Well i thought we could order some takeout and eat it at my house" Troy asked.
Gabriella nodded and Troy drove back to his house. 30 minutes later after they ordered takeout from a chinese restaurant, Troy drove back to his house. Gabriella started to feel guilty that she can't talk or start a conversation with Troy because she's too afraid to even speak.
When they arrived at Troy's house and ate dinner, Gabriella wrote at the mini whiteboard and gave it to Troy. Are you bored because i'm not talking to you?
Troy almost choked at his drink. "What? Of course not. Just because we're on date and eating dosen't mean we have to talk through the whole date. Unless of course you wanna start talking now."
Gabriella nodded quickly. "Ok, well, maybe we can pick up where we left off yesterday?" Troy asked. "So, where do your parents live?"
Gabriella quickly wrote down on the whiteboard and showed it to Troy, My parents died in car accident when i was 16. I've been living with Taylor's family ever since.
Troy couldn't believe what he read. He had never met anyone whose parents past away before. Especially not from a person he cared about. "I'm so sorry i asked. You must hate me now."
Gabriella smiled and shook her head no. That's ok. I'm over it. It was their time to go. I think it's to teach me to be independent for my future and it worked.
"I'm sorry if this sounds a little rude but...can you talk at all?" Troy asked slowly.
Yes but i'm afraid i would sound weird or stupid.
"Oh, come on. I'm sure you won't. But have you talked before?"
Gabriella nodded. "Ok, well do you mind if you teach me some sign language? It might be useful for me someday. Who knows right?"
Gabriella smiled at Troy and they both spent the night learning some sign languages. After an hour, Troy was still not getting it and Gabriella found it quite funny. When they realised that it was already late, Troy offered Gabriella to drive her home safely. When the both of them reached Gabriella's apartment door, they both stood there akwardly. Gabriella then decided to do something.
"I had fun. Thank you," Gabriella said slowly.
Troy was a little shock. He can't believe she just talked to him. "Your welcome. And by the way, you don't sound stupid but i think you should practice talking a little bit more so you'll get use to it," Troy said.
Gabriella smiled and nodded. Then they both stood there again akwardly waiting for one another to do something. Troy, tired of the akwardness, took the plunge and kissed Gabriella slowly on her lips. He was glad that Gabriella also returned back a kiss to him. They continued to kiss passionately while grabbing on each other. Gabriella couldn't help but feel some sparks when her lips touches his. It felt so good. Troy then started to pull back and looked at Gabriella's brown eyes. Gabriella also stared and then started signing something to him.
"What does that mean?" Troy asked.
"You..are...a...good...kisser," Gabriella said while showing the signs again.
"Well thank you. I quite apprieciate it. You're not so bad yourself," Troy said.
Gabriella just laughed and turned back to open her apartment door. "Good-bye Troy."
"Hey wait. Um..i'll text you tomorrow? And discuss on our next date?"
Gabriella nodded excitedly which made Troy laughed. "Well alright. I'll text you tomorrow. Later Gabriella."
Gabriella waved goodbye and closed the door behind her. She had never been on a wonderful date in her life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Gabriella was at her apartment reading a book when she saw Sharpay coming in with a big basket of flowers in her hand. Gabriella got up to help her to put the basket on the table. She then signed at Sharpay to asked her who's flowers were those.
"It's from my boss. AKA your soulmate, Troy Bolton. He told me to give this to you for him. He also said he had fun at the date last night," Sharpay said.
Gabriella couldn't believe what she said. She also couldn't believe how sweet of Troy is to send her a bunch of beautiful and colourful flowers for her. They did texted that day about their next date but he never mentioned he was going to give her flowers. She then took the small card attached on the basket. It read: This is a little something to show how great our date went last night. Love, Troy
Gabriella then quickly took her cell phone and texted Troy.
I love the flowers. Thank U. I cant w8 4 the d8 2moro.
Not even a minute later, Troy replied. No problem. I can't wait for our date too. I missed you already.
Gabriella smiled right away after she read Troy's message. She knew she made the right choice to date him. She could hardly wait for her second date with Troy.
