Chapter 7
"I…uh…I" Troy was interrupted when Sharpay appeared. "Hi Gabriella." "Hi Sharpay." "So have you decided on joining the club?" "Actually Sharpay. I don't think that the drama club is for me. I really hate being in the spotlight." "Oh okay." "I hope we're still friends?" "Of course Gabi." Sharpay looked at Troy who had his eyes closed. "Hi Troy." "Hi." He reopened his eyes.
"Hey want to walk to class together?" Sharpay asked Gabriella. "Sure. Oh wait, Troy you were going to ask me something. What was it?" "Uh never mind. I'll ask you later." "Oh okay then. See you in class Troy." Troy smiled and she walked away with Sharpay. When they turned the corner and disappeared, troy turned around and hit his head against his locker.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Troy mumbled to himself. Nathan approached him. "Hey Troy." Troy jumped. "Nathan. What's up?" "Why were you hitting your head against your locker and calling yourself stupid?" "Nathan asked. "Oh cause I am." He said tom himself but in his head.
"Nothing." "Oh okay then. Listen I just bumped into your dad and he said practice was canceled. He had to go to some appointment after school and that he'll see you at home." "Oh thanks Nathan."
Troy was about to walk away when Nathan called him. "Hey Troy." Troy turned around. "Yeah?" "Are you ever going to ask out my sister?" "What?" Troy felt himself blush. "Come on Troy. I know you like her." "I do not." Troy said trying to defend himself but wasn't doing so well.
"Yeah you do. I'm her brother. As weird as this may sound, I can tell when someone's crushing on my little sister. Besides you hang out with her more than I do." "I…" Troy decided to not finish that statement cause he knew it was true.
"So what's got you so scare of asking her out? Is it me?" "God no. You're the least thing I have to worry about." Nathan looked at Troy weirdly. "I didn't mean it in a bad way Nate." "Right. So what's got you so scare?" Troy took a breath. He couldn't believe he was telling his crush's brother about his feelings.
"It's just I'm afraid she's not going to feel the same way about me." "Oh is that it?" Nathan said laughing. This time Troy looked at Nathan weirdly. "What do you mean is that it? I was scared half to death just trying to ask her out earlier?"
"Troy…you never know unless you ask her. You need to do it in a private place. You know without all the students and teachers listening through walls. Not to mention me. Some place that'll be just you two. No one else." Troy started to think. He stopped when he couldn't think anymore. "Where on earth am I going to find a place like that?" Troy asked Nathan.
He shrugged. "I don't know but you better find one." Nathan was going to walk off but turned to face Troy. "And by the way, I know for sure that Gabriella feels the same way about you." He smiled and walked off. Troy finds himself smiling like an idiot. The bell rang and he ran to class.
At Lunch
Through out the day, Troy had been trying to think of a place where he could ask Gabriella out. He suddenly remembered the rooftop garden where the science club uses to use. It was abandoned now but Troy uses it to get away from all the drama and basketball stuff. He thought that was a perfect place to ask her.
As soon as the bell rang ending 6th block, he ran out of the classroom and towards his locker. He knew that she was going to be at hers and that will be where he's going to ask her if they can talk. He stopped running when he got closer to his locker. Gabriela was already there.
"Hey Troy." She said greeting him with one of her sweet smiles. "Hey." He said smiling back. She was going to walk off when he grabbed her hand. She turned around to face him. He realized what he was doing and let go of her hand. "Um…can we talk?" he asked nervously. "Sure Troy." "Not here. Somewhere private." "Okay where?" "Follow me." They walked towards a steel door.
Troy opened it and let her go first. Chad saw this and was wondering what Troy was doing. The door close and they walked up the stairs towards the rooftop garden. They sat at the bench. They sat in silence till Gabriella broke it. "What did you want to talk to me about Troy?" Troy took a breath. "There is no easy way for me to do this so I'm just going to do it."
Gabriella was confused about what Troy was talking about. She didn't know that she was just about to be asked the most important question of her life. "Gabriella?" "Yeah Troy." "Would you like to go out on a date or something?" He asked somehow confidently. She looked at him shocked. She never expected this.
