So, what will Gabriella say? Sorry for the long-ish wait, I had to do an essay :(. Ah well, it's here now, and that's what matters, so get reading! Lol XD.
"What are they doing?!" Taylor asked, in an almost speechless manner.
"Well it looks like their kissing"
"Oh really? Because I didn't notice.. Of course they were kissing you doof! What did you think they were doing? Eating Cheese?" Taylor rambled, Causing Chad to think intently.
"What if the treasure was there, but they moved it, and we caught them kissing instead of the treasure" Chad said, having a randomly smart moment.
"You do have a point. Wow, I don't get to say that too often..."
"Hey!"
"Sorry. So all we need to do to get the treasure, is go and see them and ask if they saw any treasure lying around when they got there." Taylor decided, Chad nodding in a agreement. They shut the treasure chest and walked off in the direction of the Giant tree.
"I...I-the..." Gabriella stammered, unable to find the right words.
"I know, I shouldn't have done it, I'll go and tell Mrs. Lalley tha-"
"It's not that. It's just I wasn't ready, I just want to be friends..." Total lie. She didn't want to be just friends, she just wasn't expecting him to feel the same way.
"Oh...ok. Friends." Troy said, trying to hide his disappointment. Gabriella sighed as he walked around the tree to where they had engraved their names. He sighed. That was when he had decided he was going to tell her how he felt So much for that.
"Hey guys!" The cheery voices of Chad and Taylor cut through the silence, breaking Troy out of his thoughts.
"This doesn't look too good Chad..." Taylor whispered, motioning to the pair who were looking more depressed than ever.
"Hey Guys." Troy said, in the most fake happy tone in the history of fake happy tones.
"We found the treasure. It's in here. But we caught you two sorta...making out on the couch instead. Was there anything on the table when you got here?"
"Uhhh..."
"Cheese!" Gabriella finished for Troy, who was staring at her, in a way that 'only friends' would do it.
"So the treasure
was cheese. Cheese!!! Where is it did you say?"
"In Troy's
digestive system." Gabriella said plainly, before walking out of
the tree, deciding that she couldn't take it any more. Troy, Chad and
Taylor exchanged strange looks, wondering what she would do.
"Why did I have to say that?! It was stupid thing that meant nothing...I do like him. Heck I may even love him. But now what do I do..." Gabriella spoke to herself, walking through the forest with the sun setting.
"He probably doesn't even like me, he was probably just dared to do that, or threatened. There, Gabriella you did it. You figured it out." She answered her problem, but deep down inside her something new she was wrong.
"And now I bet (a.n. On it:D) he hates me for doing that. Maybe he doesn't even want to be friends..." Gabriella sighed, before sitting down on a log and shivering with the cold. The sun had set, and so had the temperature. Wrapping her arms around herself to keep her as warm as she could, she cursed herself for taking her jacket off in the tree.
"Stupid setting sun, stupid jacket..."
Suddenly, she felt a jacket slung around her shoulders, and a pair of familiar arms hug her from behind. Troy's head rested on her shoulder as she leaned on him.
"Your wrong about two things Gab..."
"What?"
"I do like you, more than you know, and I could never hate you, even if I tried."
"How long were you here?"
"Long enough to know that you don't wanna' be 'just friends'. And neither do I..." He trailed off, almost scared to see her reaction. Surprisingly, she didn't say anything, she just scooted closer to him. Troy chuckled, same old Gabi. He started to kiss her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
"Trooyy...Tha- That's not f-f-fa-fair...!" She managed to get out, before a throaty moan took over her speech. She turned around in his arms, so she was facing him, and kissed him. She kissed him like never before, wrapping her arms around his neck. He smiled against her lips, before placing his arms either side of her waist. She stood up, not breaking the kiss, and wrapped her legs around his waist. His arms adjusting to hold her, while she put her hands either side of his face. Suddenly, Troy pulled away.
"You do realise, the whole 'I just wanna be friends' never really worked out..." He trailed off smiling before she replied,
"I don't care about that, I just care about this-" She was cut off by Troy kissing her square on the lips. Smiling, she kissed him back, and so the night began.
"So, what do you think Gab and Troy are doing right now?"
"Making out under a moonlit sky."
"Chad, seriously"
"And I'm
serious! I put cameras on their shirts when I hugged them, so I could
know when they got back together!"
"Oh you are such a sicko!"
She laughed before grabbing the screen.
"We should let them have their privacy!" Taylor announced, before sneaking a look at the screen.
"Hey!" Chad said, before locking it in the fridge so no-one could see it.
"Fine. Hey, what's this?" Taylor said, curiously eyeing up the engraving on the tree.
'Troy heart Gabi'
"Awww
they admitted their undeniable love for each other in a tree!"
"No
Tay, I think it's more of a Troy did the heart in secret thing,
because otherwise, Gabriella would have never ran off into the middle
of a forest." Chad said smartly.
"Whatever!"
Troy and Gabriella were sitting on the bench. Talking to each other about anyone and anything.
"What
do you think Tay and Chad are doing right now?"
"Eating"
Troy replied, chuckling.
"Meany"
"That's why you love me!"
"If I didn't I would punch you right now!"
"Oh haha...Hey Gab?" Troy said, suddenly serious.
"yeah?"
"Do you wanna...Be my girlfriend?"
"Do you not think the kissing answered that?"
"Yeah...but say yes, it sounds better."
"...Ok...Yes Troy, I will be your girlfriend. Even though you are a basketball loving doof who thinks he can get away with anything just by kissing me!"
"Thanks Gab. Hey!" He sad, realising what she had said.
"Run, run, as fast as you ca-" Gabriella started to sing the children rhyme, but Troy caught her around the waist.
"Everyone can catch you because your my Gingerbread woman!" Troy altered it, to fit their position.
"Are you saying I'm made of Gingerbread?!" Gabriella exclaimed, jokingly.
"Oh yeah, and I'm the big, bad wolf wh-"
"Don't even start Troy."
"Ok, I'm stopping..."
Troy took her hand, as they started to walk through the moonlit forest back to the camp-site.
"Do you think Mrs. Lalley will be mad?"
"No, she'll think we have bonded because she is amazing at pairing people up"
"Good answer Bolton. Now get in your tenet!" Mrs. Lalley popped up out of nowhere, frightening the life out of Gabriella.
"We're going now Mrs. Lalley" Gabriella answered for the both of
them, and they headed to their tent to get some sleep. Only to be
awoken by none other than, Taylor and Chad...Oh joy.
"Hey the
happy couple!"
"One. How the hell did you know? Two. If you ever come into out tent at...half three in the morning, I will kill you!"
"What Troy said" Gabriella yawned, not having the energy to say anything more.
"Listen, you guys, we have a plan for tomorrow's tr-"
"Tay, their asleep already, I told you to leave it 'till the morning"
"Oh like your always right!" She whispered back, before heading back to their own tent to go to sleep.
"Yes Gab, it worked!"
"Told you it would. Faking sleep
always does the trick."
"Well, goodnight anyway"
"Goodnight Troy" She said, before kissing him softly on the lips and rolling over to catch some shut-eye.
