After that 'almost-kiss' things were really awkward between Troy and Gabriella. Troy thought Gabriella had not wanted it so he had turned away, while Gabriella thought it was actually the other way around.

A few minutes after Troy had run away, Gabriella also went back downstairs. They both acted as if nothing had happened between them and started to talk to other people. Sometimes Gabriella would look over at Troy and whenever he was looking back she quickly turned away, blushing.

It was becoming really late and most people went home, only Troy, Zeke, Jason, Taylor, Kelsi and Sharpay were still talking in the living room. They were all staying over at the Danforth house. The rest slowly started noticing the awkwardness between Troy and Gabriella and were giving each other glances as if they were asking if they knew more. They all knew that Gabriella and Troy were in some way attracted to each other, and they hadn't failed to notice the change in Troy. Troy had always been the subject of attention for a lot of girls, and they flirted a lot with him. Usually Troy would flirt back, but ever since Gabriella came he hadn't flirted with other girls anymore.

"Guys can we watch a movie?" Gabriella excitedly said

All the guys groaned, they knew that the girls would pick out some chick flick, they would protest and then they would be watching it anyways because they couldn't say no to the girls. It had sort of become their ritual before watching a movie. "Whatever, just pick something"

"I want to watch Dirty Dancing!" (AN one of my favourite movies! I've seen it at least 20 times…!)

"But Gabi, we've watched Dirty Dancing like a million times already…!" Zeke protested

"Doesn't matter, I like the movie so we'll just watch it" She stuck out her tongue at the guys and got back up from the girls.

The guys sighed "Whatever…"

Gabriella started the movie and they started watching it. Halfway through the film the guys were sleeping, while the girls were doing crazy dances on the songs from dirty dancing.

Taylor sighed "I wish I could dance like Johnny and Baby"

Gabriella joined in "Yeah I know, I would buy a beautiful dress, find myself a cute partner and we'd dance all night long

"Maybe we should take dancing classes" Kelsi said

"Yeah we should and then make a show and it would be all about me" Sharpay said in a joking voice "But you girls can be my background dancers!" They all laughed at this and Sharpay started singing "Don't hate me 'cause I got it goin' on" The rest of the girls joined her "It's just me, I'm hot never cold I can rock it any way that I choose I'm so good (Oh yeah) I make up all the rules I can't help it if I set all the trends Everybody wants to be my best friend It's infectious, come on don'tyou be jealous Just join in this love fest You know that It's all about me It's all about me Oh yeah, me, myself and I It's all about me It's all about me (You know It's all about me) It's all about me me me me me Everybody knows that it's all about me"

Then suddenly Kelsi saw the guys "Aaw, look at them, they're all asleep!" They all awed at the sleeping guys "Come on girls, let's get some blankets.

The girls also decided to go to sleep, since they couldn't make any noise now that the boys were sleeping.

The next morning they all woke up around 9 o'clock and quickly washed themselves and ate breakfast so that they could go home. Some of them had to go to work, while the rest had a lot of homework to do. They were all glad that they could relax a little bit the night before, but they really had to start working again.

"God, all this schoolwork is stressing me out!" Chad sighed "Gabs I gotta go now, I'll be done with work at 2 o'clock, can you help me with my chemistry when I come back?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll see you"

Chad left for work, and Gabriella was now alone together with her textbooks. "Well I better get started on my homework" Gabriella said to herself. She sighed and walked upstairs. She decided to start with her English homework since she had to hand in a commentary on Monday. In class they had been reading the satire 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. Their teacher had given them an extract from the book and told them to write a commentary on it. Gabriella started writing.

"George Orwell's book animal farm is a satire on…"

She didn't get any further since she couldn't stop thinking about the night before when Troy had almost kissed her. Why did he have such an effect on her? Was it because there was finally someone who seemed to be interested in her, or was it something deeper? Did she really like him?

Just then her phone started ringing. She picked it up and saw Troy's name on the screen. What could he want? She greeted Troy who immediately started talking to her about some math problems they had to solve.

"Troy, I can't help you over the phone but you can come here if you want to?"

Troy agreed and he came over as soon as possible. When Gabriella opened the door to let Troy in she saw the confused look on his face. He was clearly still thinking about the problem he couldn't solve. She chuckled lightly.

"Ok, Troy come in and show me your problem."

Troy walked in and sat down. He opened his book and pointed at one of the equations.

"Hmm, linear equations" Gabriella looked at it "Okay, I'll show you how to solve it." She took a paper and started scribbling on it.

4X+20Y+100Z5

"That's the formula and you have to know Y right?" Troy nodded "Okay just bring Y to the other side and 5 as well."

4X+100Z-5-20Y

"Then divide it by -20"

-0.2X-5Z+0.25Y

"And since you can't calculate X or Z that's your answer"

They worked a little longer on their math homework, until they got bored of it and just started talking about random things.

"Do you like smooth peanut butter or not?" Gabriella were having a discussion on what foods they liked.

"Well, yeah it's better than peanut butter with pieces of peanut in it." Troy replied thoughtful.

Gabriella acted being shocked "No way! It's so much better with pieces of peanut in it!" (umm, I must confess that I actually had a conversation about peanut butter, like a week ago. It lasted for about 15 minutes and it was hilarious! Seriously me and my best friend can talk about anything… ohyeah, I agree with Gabi, it's better with pieces of peanut in it!)

They both laughed and found themselves looking into each others eyes. They slowly moved closer until their lips met in a passionate kiss. Gabriella felt her knees go weak and butterflies in her stomach. The next second, however, she felt Troy pull away. He quickly mumbled a sorry, grabbed his book and his jacket and ran out of the house. Leaving a very confused Gabriella, again…

Because Gabriella was so confused she started writing in her diary. Somehow she felt that writing in her diary helped her relax and think about her feelings. It felt good to either talk or write about your feelings, and when no one was around she would just write in her diary.

Dear Diary,

I am so confused… Yesterday, after the game, which the guys won btw, Troy almost kissed me, but he ran away. So I thought it was a mistake and he didn't like me. But today Troy came over to ask something about his Math homework and when we were done he kissed me… It was so good, and his lips are so soft, it just felt perfect. But then he quickly pulled away and ran, again! What have I done wrong? Why is he acting like this? The worst part is that I have fallen for him and I have no idea how he feels about me. Maybe it's all just a game, but he did protect me from Chris, so he must care about me, right? I don't know what to think anymore…

Much Love,

Gabriella

She softly whispered to herself "Oh Troy, why do you do this to me?"
