Chapter 7
The next day Gabriella woke up and took a quick shower before heading down the hall to go wake Junior up. Yesterday, Troy had gone to his apartment and got what he needed while he was staying at there house. She felt weird to have Troy staying just down the hall from her. She didn't know why she agreed for him to stay and she was starting to regret it. She felt like she was in high school again when all she had wanted to do was forget her past and move along. Now all she could think about was Troy and the way she felt for him. The feelings she thought were gone we're now back and she couldn't stand to be so close to him. While she was thinking all this she didn't realize that she had reached Juniors until she almost collided with it. She opened the door quietly to see Junior peacefully sleeping in his bed. She walked over to him and sat on the edge of his bed.
"Junior" He didn't even move a muscle.
"Junior" Gabriella says louder while gently shaking him. He slowly woke up and opened his eyes sleepily to she his mother looking at him.
"Ya Mom?" Junior says yawning.
"Come on baby, you have to get ready for school."
"Alright Mom" He walked to the bathroom while Gabriella going downstairs to prepare breakfast. After a couple of minutes Junior came running downstairs. He jumped up on a chair until Gabriella told him to go walk up Troy. He quickly ran back upstairs to the guest bedroom. He quietly opened the door and peeked inside the room. He say his dad on the bed so he ran and jumped on top of the bed.
"Wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Junior sang at the top of his lungs. Troy grabbed his pillow and put it over his head trying to drown out the yelling.
"Come oooooon!" Junior whined grabbing the pillow. "You have to get up." Troy slowly opened his eyes trying to adjust to the light. He heard laughing coming from the door way and quickly turned to it to see Gabriella standing there.
"Nice way to wake up huh?" Troy threw his head back making her laugh even more. He quickly grabbed the pillow again but this time he instead threw it at her.
"Hey! Looks like someone's a little grumpy in the morning."
"Leave me alone." Troy covered his head with the blanket since he didn't have his pillow.
"Come on! You have to get up!" Junior started poking him repeatedly.
"Alright, I'm up!" Troy said shoving the blanket off him and sitting up. He looks over at the door and sees Gabriella blushing with her eyes diverted away from him. He looks down at himself and notices that he's only in his boxers. His face starts burning while he quickly grabs the blanket again to cover himself.
"Well then, Junior why don't you go eat breakfast while your dad puts on some clothes." Troy blushed and looked away making Gabriella laugh softly and giving Troy a small smile.
"Okay Mom." Junior jumped off the bed and ran downstairs. Gabriella slowly turned back to Troy.
"Well there breakfast downstairs, you know, if you want." Gabriella says feeling strangely nervous.
"Okay, I'll be right down after, I…well, yah."
"Yah okay bye." Gabriella quickly turns around and wakes downstairs. A few minutes later Troy wakes downstairs follow clothed and sat down. Gabriella quickly walked into the kitchen and grabbed her keys.
"Okay Troy, I'll be right back." Gabriella says hurriedly.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Have to drop off Junior at school." Gabriella quickly turns around to have Troy face to face with her, the noses almost able to touch. Brown eyes and blue eyes staring intently, never once blinking. Soon Troy starts to lean in and Gabriella not realizing what was happening lean in as well. As soon as there lips met in a soft kiss, Gabriella seemed to snap back to reality and quickly turned her head. Troy stepped back and looked at her confused. Gabriella slowly looked back up to look Troy in the eyes.
"I'm sorry but I can't do this." Gabriella whispered sadly.
"But I don't understa--" Troy was cut off by Junior coming into the room complaining about how he was going to be late for school.
"Okay sweetie, I'll be right out" Junior quickly left and Gabriella turned back to Troy.
"We'll talk when I get back okay?" Troy nodded and Gabriella quickly left. Troy stood there while wondering what had just happened. He walked into the living room and just thought for a while until the doorbell rang. He quickly got up and answered to door to see a brown haired man standing on the other side.
"Hey is Gabriella here?" The man said eyeing Troy carefully.
"No shes not. Can I ask who you are?" Troy said wonder why a guy was asking for Gabriella.
"I'm Kyle. Gabriella's boyfriend."
