Ch. 5: Dating? Part One

Troy's POV

I knew Taylor was going to ask Gabriella to come with us tonight. I was so nervous, even though I wasn't the one asking her out. I was nervous about her answer. I suddenly saw the door open to reveal a smiling Taylor.

" What did she say?" I asked.

" She said yes, but you have to listen to this first." She said holding out a tape recorder.

" Ok," I sad unsure. I hit play. I listened to it.

Taylor spoke up, " He looks so much like Troy know. He even acts like him too."

" I know," Gabriella answered.

" Gabi, tell me the truth. Why didn't you tell Troy? Why didn't you tell us? Could you not trust us? Just…. Why?" Taylor asked her.

" I got scared. I mean, I was dating the star basketball player. All eyes would be on me. I didn't want to face Troy's father or the whole school. I didn't want to tell Troy and ruined his dreams." He heard her sniff, assuming she had cried.

" Gabi, do you still love Troy?" Taylor asked silently.

After Taylor asked that part, Gabriella started crying. " Yeah. I do. I love him more than anything else in the world besides Junior. I love them both." (Referring to Troy Jr.)

Taylor hugged her crying friend. " You need to talk to Troy. He wants to be back together with you again. I'm sorry I slapped you earlier. I didn't know what else to do."

" It's okay. Taylor, is Troy mad at me?"

" He's mad you left."

" Oh."

" Listen Gabs. Do you want to come out with all of us tonight?"

" Sure. Just let me call my mom and ask her to watch Junior." She was dialing her number. After a few minutes she said, "Yeah, I can go."

" Great. I'll come get you at 7?"

" Yeah."

" Great. Bye Gabs!"

" Bye Tay!"

" Wow," I said after I listened to all of it. " She really loves me? Yes!"

Taylor laughed. I said, " I better go get ready."

Gabriella's POV

Gabriella was looking at 3 different choices she could wear. The first one was a brown halter-top with jeans. The second was a red dress that she wore to the East High Championship game (a/n: the dress she wore at the end of the movie). The third one was a white polo shirt with an aqua knee length skirt. She chose the first one. She quickly did her make up. She had brown mascara, pink lip-gloss and light pink eye- shadow on. She decided to wear her hair down, letting her natural curls do all the work. At 7 o'clock, there was a knock on her door. She grabbed her purse and answered it. She opened the door to see Taylor. She was wearing a pink polo shirt with a mini skirt.

" Hey, Tay," Gabriella said.

" Hey. You ready?"

" Yeah. Let's go!"

They were walking down the hallways when Gabriella asked, " Does Troy love me? Is he happy that I am going tonight?"

" Yeah. He took, like, 3 hours to get ready."

Gabriella smiled. " I took 4," she thought.

They were walking to another hallway when they heard, " Hey, girls! We're over here." They realized the voice was Chad's. They turned around. Gabriella saw Kelsi, Ryan, Sharpay, and Troy all standing next to Chad. Gabriella's eyes met Troy's. " Oh gosh. This is going to be a long night," she thought.

Ok I know this is not a lot. Sorry! Think of this as a filler. Remember, I'm not going to be able to update till the 17th. Review!
