Hey guys I'm back! Well soccer season is almost over and I'm going to have a lot more free time so I'll have much more time to update in a few weeks. Anyway the winner of the contest is Sarah590! You may be asking how is that I named the song first? Well really 'S' is the winner but her review was anonymous and I need a full name. The rest of the reviews don't have their names on their profiles, I'm sorry everybody…ummm you're all winners? Anyway hope you enjoy this chapter it contains my pathetic attempt of a make out scene, don't worry absolutely nothing over the top and nothing over T. Lastly this chapter is dedicated to my friend Shagen, and she knows exactly why.
He understands that you need time for your girls.
Troy and Gabriella were currently sitting together on the bench of their secret spot. Lunch had just started and they decided to take a brake from the hectic school day and spend at least an hour alone. Troy sat with one of his foot on the floor, the other straight out on the bench leavening the perfect spot for his girlfriend to lie in against his chest. Her eyes were closed, enjoying the light breeze and feeling of Troy gently playing with the curls that were cascading down her shoulders. He coolly moved a bit of her hair away from her shoulder so he could have access to her neck.
"Hey Brie?" He quietly asked making a trail of soft kisses up and down her neck. A light smile spread across her face, enjoying the feeling of Troy's soft lip making contact with her skin.
"Emmhmm?" She lazily moaned.
"I was thinking, we haven't been on a real date in awhile…"
"Babe you know that doesn't matter to me, spending time together like this is just fine." She lightly stated moving her head so she could look directly into her boyfriend's eyes. A goofy grin overcame his face and his head slightly tilted back.
"Of course Gabriella but once and awhile we should do something, I don't know, special." He placed a peck on her lips.
"I like taking my baby girl out."
"And what might you have in mind?"
"Oh I don't know, how about a nice night out, maybe a little trip to LeBecfin?" (A/n that is actually a really expensive restaurant in New York, I've been there once and made a complete fool out of myself)
Gabriella jumped up from the position she was in and sat perfectly straight paying full attention to the boy sitting next to her.
"You must be joking! Troy you have to make reservations practically 7 weeks in advance to be able to park!" A smug smile was planted on the blue eyed boys face.
"I did, 2 months ago." Her eyes went wide and she engulfed Troy is a huge hug.
"When do we go?" She asked sounding like a 7 year old on Christmas morning.
"Friday night, 8 o clock." She squeezed her arms even more tightly around her boyfriend and a girlish squeal escaped her lips making both teens laugh.
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you! How can I repay you?" A cocky grin crossed the boys face.
"I think you have an idea." She playfully rolled her eyes and decided to play a little game with good ol Troy boy. She grabbed his shirt a sly smile on her face making his eyes go wide as she yanked him as close to her as possible and crashed her lips onto his. Her hands immediately traveled up to his hair pulling on it slightly. Her left hand then traveled from his head to his lower back and her tongue dived into his mouth. No matter how much he tried to fight it a deep moan crept out of Troy's mouth. He wrapped his arms around her petite waist, pulling her even closer and backed her up so she was pushed up against one of the concrete columns. Deciding that it was time to end the game she quickly pulled away. Troy was so shocked his head followed hers for a split second. She giggled and untangled herself from her boyfriend.
"Gotta go tell Sharpay where we're going, see yea later Troy!" She called back as she ran down the stairs and out of sight. Troy stood there, still in shock at how much…spice his little 'innocent' girlfriend had. He then shook his head and walked off the rooftop and into the gym.
Friday Night:
Gabriella was currently finishing up her makeup getting ready for Troy and her big date. She wore a long flowing silver dress that showed off her natural curves and complimented her exotic skin tone. Becoming frustrated with her makeup she wiped the small amount she had on and was about to put more on when she heard a knock coming from her balcony door. She walked out of the small bathroom in her room and to the balcony doors to find none other then a very well dressed Troy Bolton standing there. He smiled when he saw Gabriella and when she let him in gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"You look gorgeous." He simply stated
"Well you're not so bad yourself Wildcat but you know, we do have a front door" She giggled.
"Well this is always more fun. I see you're ready so let's go" He said taking her hand and beginning to lead her out of the room when she yanked him to a stop.
"Are you crazy? I don't have any makeup on! I look like a piece of trash!" The brown haired boy gave her a puzzled look and asked.
"What do you mean? You look fine the way you are now."
"You're just saying that." An almost concerned look passed over Troy's face and he shook his head.
"How about this, I sit here and you go put your makeup on and when you're done come and show me. I'll give you my honest opinion."
"You swear?"
"Cross my heart." The Latina huffed and walked toward the bathroom.
"Fine." She came out shortly after and stood in front of her boyfriend.
"See, now you can't see those baggy eyes I have or the chapped lips, Troy you have to admit you're less embarrassed to be seen with me when I look like this." Troy shook his head once again and took her hand walking her to the bathroom. He positioned her so that she was facing the mirror and he was behind her, hands around her waist and head on her right shoulder.
"You want to know what I really think." Gabriella's entire body tensed feeling Troy's hot breathe on the side of her face but managed a small nod. He grabbed a damp cloth that was sitting on the edge of the sink and brought it up to her face.
"Close your eyes." He gently ordered she did as she was told and leaned back into Troy. He then began softly dabbing off the makeup his girlfriend was wearing. First he reached her eyes and in a few simple swipes had removed the mascara and eyeliner.
"This let's the world see those chocolate brown eyes that I love so much."
He the wiped the cloth over her cheeks.
"This lets' everyone see you're naturally pink cheeks, that make any guy smile when you blush." He said, making her blush.
"See?"
And finally he reached her lips, placing the cloth down and replacing them with his own lips in a soft, delicate kiss removing her lips gloss.
"See, there's no point in that stuff, because it'll be gone within the first 5 minutes." Gabriella smiled and opened her eyes.
"See this is the real Gabriella Montez, the one who makes every girl at East High jealous because of her natural beauty. The fact that she doesn't have to hide behind all this crap she can just be herself and still have guys drooling over her. You see Gabi; you don't need any of it." Good thing Troy had taken off her mascara because it would have been running like crazy as the slow tears rolled down Gabriella's face.
"D-do you really mean that Troy?" She asked tearfully he smiled engulfing her in a hug and whispered in her ear.
"With everything I've got." The two teens stood there for God knows how long in a comfortable silence. Once Troy noticed that Gabriella had recollected herself he caressed her face with his thumbs and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"Ready to go?"
"Of course." The two walked down the stairs, out of the house and into Troy's old truck that both had come to love. Gabriella reached for the radio where that song 'We're in Heaven' was playing she smiled as Troy took one of his hands off of the steering wheel to take her hand. As the song was coming to a stop Gabriella's phone began to ring. She released Troy's hand to dig for her phone in her purse. Once she had found it she immediately picked it up.
"Hey"
"Ga-ga-gabriella! C-c-can you come over, NOW?" A sobbing voice asked on the other line.
"Wait, Sarah? What's the matter? Hun slow down." Troy looked over as his girlfriend and gave her a puzzled look which she also returned.
"It's David!" Sarah screamed into the phone, Gabriella was the only one who knew about Sarah and David besides Sarah's sister. She sighed and replied.
"Oh man, girl now's not the best time." She heard more sniffling on the other end.
"Oh..oh okay then it's all right. I'll talk to you later Gabriella." And with that Sarah hung up the phone making Gabriella feel horrible. If it was any other day, any other time she would have been over at Sarah's house in a heartbeat but tonight was Troy and her night, right?
"Umm, Troy I think you missed your turn?"
"Nope, I'm going exactly where I need to me going."
"Whatever you say." For the rest of the ride Gabriella was silent thinking of what could have happened between her two friends when the car stopped. She looked up at Troy who signaled with his head to look out her window, her jaw dropped.
"But what about the restaurant, you made reservations like a year ago Troy, I can't just ditch you know." He simply shook his head.
"Restaurants can wait, friends can't, go on, we have other days to go out, Sarah needs you know." Gabriella smiled.
"I love you so much Troy." She leaned over to give him a quick kiss and was out of the car and in Sarah's house. Troy stayed in his car looking at his girlfriend, making sure she made it in and with that he drove away.
With Sarah and Gabriella
The two girls were sitting in Sarah's room, over 5 empty cartons of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream sprawled across the floor and Gabriella's arms wrapped around Sarah in a friendly manner.
"Why does there have to be such thing as popularity? Why-can't-everyone-just-freaking-get-along?" Sarah asked, hacking away at her ice cream Gabriella just shook her head.
"I don't know Sha, but you can't let that stop you from going after him."
"Oh yes it can, everyday I try to go by his locker, or say hi to him in the hall and he always has like 20 girls surrounding him! It's disgusting, they don't even know the real him all they see are his looks! Why can't the just go to Hooters and pick up guys there?" She asked clearly frustrated. David and Sarah over time had shared many truly adorable moments and had many things in common from their very unique taste of music to their sport of choice. Sarah had always been different, she wasn't an outsider, she had tons of friends but she had a unique look at the world and she finally found a guy who shared that with. Too bad he was horribly attractive making almost every girl at the school drape over him. All the moments they had shared together were alone, no jealous girls in sight and Sarah realized those opportunities were once in a blue moon.
"I have a question for you. What if I let Troy's popularity stop me from being friends with him? What if I saw Amber running her dirty hands up his arms and threw in the towel. Would we be where we are today?" Sarah tried thinking of a rebuttal but realized there was none and shook her head in defeat.
"So just keep trying. Screw popularity if you're really meant to be those things you have in common will bring you together, just wait." Sarah nodded her head and gave Gabriella a sisterly hug.
"Thanks Gabs, for everything."
"That's what friends are for, do you need anything else?"
"Nope I'm just going to call my sister."
"Okay I'll see you later."
"Oh and Gabs, tell Troy I said hi."
12:36 A.M.
Since Gabriella's mom was out of town for the weekend she didn't have a ride home from Sarah's, not that she really wanted to spend the night in a dark empty house. So she decided to walk to her second home, the Bolton residence. When she arrived she didn't want to wake up the family by walking in the front door so she used the entrance Troy had set up for her. Because his room did not have a balcony, nor would he want her climbing up one for him, if she was quite she could sneak through the basement doors and directly up into Troy's room. She did so quickly and stood outside of the door. To her surprise she heard the faint sound of a TV and a teenager clicking through the cannels.
"Nothing on TV?" She quietly asked pushing the door open making her presences aware.
"Brie what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be at Sarah's?"
"I was, she needed some time alone and no one's at my house so I decided to come here. Did you not want me to come? I mean I can leave."
"No, no, no stay I'm just wondering how you got here." Gabriella shrugged.
"I walked." Troy's eyes became wide and he got up off his bed.
"Are you crazy walking around at night when God knows who's on the streets? Why didn't you call me I would have come picked you up."
"Troy calm down it was only a few miles and I liked the walk. Plus I didn't want to bug you."
"You know you wouldn't have." He replied wrapping his arms around her as she sniffed in his scent.
"Promise you won't do it again? Or at least don't tell me about it." He whispered into her hair as she chuckled.
"Promise."
"Hey why are you up anyway?"
"I honestly don't know, come to think of it I'm really tired."
"Well then got to sleep then Troy, I'll go sleep on the couch."
"Oh no you won't you know what I need to get a really good night sleep."
"What, your stuffed basketball?" Gabriella teased. Troy took her hand and walked over to the bed. He lied down making himself comfortable then patted the spot next to him signaling her to lie down. She did so, burying her head in the crock of his neck while he wrapped his arms securely around her waist.
"Hey Troy, are you awake?" She asked few minutes later.
"Barely." He replied but she still decided to ask.
"Are you mad at me?" Troy, now wide awake propped himself on one of his elbows to look into her eyes.
"Brie why would I be mad at you?" He asked sincerely confused.
"Well I don't know, I blew you off for Sarah today and you had the entire night all planned out." Troy closed his eyes and shook his head, lowering himself so he was eyelevel with Gabriella.
"Of course I'm not mad, Sarah really needed you. I know when Chad needs someone to bail him out of jail you'll let me go the second he calls."
"You're right I overreacted."
"Want to know a secret?" He moved himself so he was directly speaking into her ear. "No matter what you do I could never stay mad at you." Gabriella smiled.
"Good-night Troy."
"Night Brie."
