I Know What It's Like

"God I'm bored." In the few weeks that Gabriella had been First Daughter, being bored was something she rarely experienced, but that was exactly what she and Sharpay were at that moment. Sharpay had invited Gabriella over for a girls night, and she immediately accepted, happy to get away from The White House for a night. No doubt she loved living there, but in the past few weeks she had hardly left, except for school that is. So after painting each other's nails, reading magazines, and gossiping about the latest Sidwell drama, which mainly revolved around Sydney, they had nothing left to do. Gabriella couldn't help but laugh as her friend stretched across the bed. Just then her phone buzzed. She picked it up and couldn't help but smile widely, which led Sharpay to roll her eyes, knowing that there was only one person who made her best friend smile like that.

"Oh my god! Can you two just fuck already?" Gabriella threw Sharpay a glare.

"I told you Pay! It's not like that!"

"Ella, how can it not be like that when you've admitted that you have a crush on him!" Although Gabriella constantly denied that her feelings were something more than a little crush, Sharpay was convinced they were much more, and never let Gabriella hear the end of it.

"Yes, a small little school girl crush. You know the ones that are completely pointless, never go anywhere, and disappear once you meet someone you actually have a chance with."

"That's such bullshit but whatever." Gabriella just rolled her eyes. Her phone buzzed again and she couldn't help but smile as she read the text message. "What did he say?"

"He and Chad are gonna watch a movie in their dorm, he wants to know if we wanna join them." Sharpay raised her eyebrows.

"Jesus, how many times do I have to say it? He wants to fuck you." Gabriella glared at her again, convinced that her claims were the furthest thing from the truth. "Do you wanna go or not?"

"A Friday night with two college guys, hell yeah I wanna go!" Gabriella laughed and shook her head.

"Ok let me just call my mom." Sharpay nodded as Gabriella dialed her mom's private and direct phone number. "Hey mom…yeah, I was wondering if me and Sharpay could hang out with Troy and his roommate tonight…his dorm…no we're not going to a party…because I wouldn't lie to you mom, and because it is midterms at Georgetown next week, so they're aren't even any parties to go to. They are just taking a break from studying to watch a movie and they invited us…okay…thanks mom…love you too…bye." She hung up the phone and smiled. "Mission accomplished."

"Yay! Oh and is it really midterms at Georgetown."

"No, but my mom doesn't need to know that." Sharpay laughed and shook her head.

"I didn't know she was that strict."

"She isn't usually, just for the past few weeks she has been. As soon as the media attention dies down she will chill out."

"Good! Anyways, we have to find something to wear! We have to look cute, but casual, and not like we are trying."

"Totally agree."

Twenty minutes later the girls were ready to go. Gabriella was wearing Hard Tail fold downs that hugged her waist perfectly, a white cami, and a little Sidwell zip up hoodie, while Sharpay was wearing a black velour Juicy sweat suit. Both girls completed their outfits with a pair of Uggs, in which they tucked their pants into. After telling Sharpay's parents where they were going they walked outside to see Gina, Gabriella's main secret service agent standing outside the door. Once she was officially the First Daughter, her secret service protection increased, but not by much. Whenever she was at school, Gina would wait outside of the classroom, while other agents were stationed around just to keep watch. Gina always stayed a few feet away from her, giving her at least a little privacy. In public places she was always in the room, but never hovering over her shoulder. And when she was at private residences she always stood outside the front door.

"Going somewhere Gabriella?" she asked confused.

"Yeah, we're going to Georgetown."

"Okay." Gina just said something into her sleeve, informing the other agents who were around but hidden, that they were heading out. The part that made the secret service not that bad was that there was a confidentiality agreement. They did this so the person they were protecting trusted them, and didn't try to hide something from them, which could possibly lead them to giving them the slip. This is why Gina didn't ask questions. Considering they were under 18, and in D.C. it was illegal to drive after 11 if you were a minor, they climbed into the Suburban and drove to Georgetown. Troy had called and given them directions to the dorm and told them that he would be in the lobby to let them in. They found it easily, and walked up to the dorm with Gina a few steps behind them. As soon as they approached it, they saw Troy standing in the lobby. He smiled as soon as he saw them, and went to open the door.

"Hey!" He opened the door for them and they walked in.

"Hey," Gabriella smiled back before they shared a friendly hug. After introducing Sharpay and Troy to one another, he escorted them upstairs and to his dorm room. The three walked in, Gina of course staying outside, to see what looked like a typical boys room, where Chad was lying down on one of the beds.

"Hey girls."

"Hey."

"Chad this is Gabriella…"

"Nice to meet you," Gabriella smiled.

"You too."

"And this is Sharpay…"

"You look familiar, have we met before?" Chad asked confused.

"I go to Sidwell, and my Dad's the French Ambassador…"

"Oh yeah! My Dad's the Italian Ambassador. Our Embassy is right next to yours."

"Yeah!"

"What a small world!" Troy exclaimed in a high-pitched tone and they laughed.

"Well make yourselves at home girls." Both girls nodded, and Sharpay sat down in a beanbag that was on the floor as Gabriella flopped down on Troy's bed.

"Feel free to lay on my bed." Knowing he was joking Gabriella shot him a playful glare. "Anyway, what do you guys want to watch?" After much debate they decided on The Bourne Identity. "Oh I'm sorry, do you girls want anything to drink?"

"What do you have?" Sharpay asked. He walked over to the mini fridge and opened it up.

"Umm, Coke, Water, Red Bull, and Beer."

"Ooh! A beer would be nice," Sharpay replied.

"Ok. Gabi?"

"Yeah, I'll have one too."

"Grab one for me too man." Without hesitation he took out four Bud Lights and handed them to everyone. He then turned off the lights and pressed play before lying down next to Gabriella. The bed was so small their sides were pressed up against each other's which led to chills running down their spines. Gabriella tensed up at this.

"Sorry, do you have enough room?"

"Yeah, I'm good." Truthfully he was better than good, he was perfect, but he wasn't about to say that.

A little while later, Sharpay felt a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to Chad, confused and he pointed to Troy's bed. She turned her head and couldn't help but smirk. Troy's arm had somehow ended up around Gabriella and her head had somehow ended up on his chest. Sharpay turned back to Chad and they gave each other knowing smiles. He pointed to the door and she nodded. They quietly left the room, breaking out into laughter as soon as they did.

"Come on let's go to the common room." Sharpay nodded, and told Gina where she was going in case Gabriella came out and asked. She and Chad went to the common room that was on the floor and flopped down on the couch.

"So you think they're gonna hook up?" Chad asked with a smile.

"Oh for sure."

Meanwhile…

Troy looked down at the girl in his arms and smiled. He was happy when she didn't pull away when he had casually put his arm around her, instead snuggling into him. When he invited she and Sharpay over, he didn't plan on making any kind of move, it just kinda happened. During the violent parts she would snuggle into him more and he was loving it. As he looked back up, a look of confusion came across his face. Chad and Sharpay were no longer in the room.

"Gabi, where did Sharpay and Chad go?" She turned her head and the same look of confusion came across her face.

"I dunno. I didn't hear them leave."

"Neither did I."

"Why would they…" Just as she said this, they both realized as to why their best friends left. They looked at each other awkwardly, and he burst into laughter.

"Wow, that's embarrassing." She was to embarrassed to look at him, as her cheeks turned redder and redder.

"Yep." His laughter died down and he looked down at her again. As he smiled she looked up at him.

"What?" He leaned down and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Well they probably already think we're hooking up, so it seems to me like we might as well." Before she could say anything, he captured her lips with his.

Please Review!!! So they've finally kissed. Next…will things heat up?
