Gabriella and Taylor ran downstairs into the kitchen to find Troy throwing grapes up into the air
and Chad trying to catch them in his mouth.
"You can't leave you two alone for two minutes" laughed Gabriella.
"Hey we said we would get snacks, so we are" replied Troy.
"So what are we actually doing tonight besides watching you two throwing grapes at each other?"
asked Taylor.
"We could watch movies?" suggested Troy.
"Dude, as much as watching movies all night sounds like fun. Seeing yours and Gabbys faces
glued to each others doesn't" lauhed Chad.
Gabriella blushed.
"Hey, we wouldn't be glued...just sellotaped" teased Troy.
Gabriella let one of them shocked laughs and hit Troy in the arm as Taylor and Chad laughed.
"You should be so lucky Mister" Gabriella teased back.
Troy pretended to look offended.
"Not working" said Gabriella defiantly not giving in to Troys "offended" face.
Troy then gave up on his tactic and turned to plan B. Tickling. Troy tickled Gabriella untill she
caved.
"Ok Troy I give up. Your'e so lucky" said Gabriella laughing. Once he let go she moved out of
Troys reach with fear of being tickled again.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" asked Troy.
Gabriella giggled and shuffled closer to Troy. She leaned up onto her tip toes and kissed Troy
on the cheek, leaving pink lip gloss in the place where her lips had been. Troy smiled a
childish smile and Gabriella giggled.
"Dude, like I said seeing yours and Gabbys faces glued together all night wasn't my exact plan."
joked Chad.
"What about truth or dare?" suggested Taylor.
"Sure" agreed everyone.
Taylor and Gabriella went out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Chad and Troy grabbed the snacks
and drinks and followed the girls upstairs. The girls grabbed the cushions off the sofas in Troys
game/living room and put them on the floor. Once they were all settled on the floor they began to
play.
"Gabby you first. Truth or Dare?" asked Taylor.
"A tough question. Ermmmm truth I guess." Gabriella replied.
"What is the most embarrasing thing you have ever done?" asked Chad.
"Oh nooooooo. I can't tell you that!" said Gabriella shakin her head from side to side.
"You have to" insisted Taylor. Gabriella took a deep breath.
"Ok but you tell no-one!" she replied. "Before I moved out here to Alberqurque I went out with a boy
called Bryan. When we were out he kissed me but when we tried to seperate we were stuck. Braces"
Gabriella broke into laughter with Taylor and Chad. Troy however seemed to be jealous. The fact
Gabriella liked someone before him. Gabriella noticed Troys change of mood and quickly signaled to
Chad to carry on.
"Ok Troy. Truth or Dare?" Chad asked.
"Dare" replied Troy cooly.
"I dare you to kiss Gabriella" dared Chad.
"Ease" replied Troy shrugging his shoulders. He shuffled closed to Gabriella.
"With tongues! unless you're past that stage" said Chad innocently
Gabriella glared at Troy knowing he had told Chad. Taylor clicked on immediatly.
"Oh my gosh Gabs why didn't you tell me?" she asked. Gabriella laughed. Troy looked at Gabriella
to see if she was against the dare.
"Sure, only if it's ok with Gabs and you two don't look" shrugged Troy who seemed like he couldn't
care less. Deep inside though his heart was thumping faster than normal.
Chad and Taylor swung their heads towards Gabriella who showed no sign of disagreement. With this
Troy shuffled closer again to Gabriella and gently put one of his hands around her face and the other
around her waist. He leaned in and felt Gabriellas soft lips that had freshly applied lip gloss on,
against his own. He opened his mouth slightly. If Gabriella didn't want to, it wasn't her dare he wasn't
going to make her. After a minute or two Chad and Taylor turned back around to see Troy and
Gabriella still kissing.
"Hem Hem" coughed Chad.
Troy and Gabriella broke apart and stared into each others eyes. Troy smiled at his girlfriend lovingly
as she smiled back. He took her hand and entwined his fingers with hers.
"Right Taylor. Truth or dare?" said Gabriella still holding Troys hand.
"Truth" she replied.
"Errrrmmmmm... What did you think of Chad before you knew himm properly?" asked Gabriella.
"Oh that's easy, the same as what I thought about Troy. A lunkhead basketball guy who thought
highly of himself." Taylor replied.
Troy and Chad looked offended.
"Oh come on, you guys have completely changed since the musical last term, and it's not like I think
that now" she said. Chad and Troy exchanged looks and agreed they'd let her off this once.
"Hey what time is it?" asked Gabriella.
"10:30" said Taylor answering her question.
"Oh God I'm going to be killed. I promised my mom I'd be home before 10pm" said Gabriella grabbing
her coat.
"Troy I have to go sorry!" she said.
"Do you wan't me to walk you home?" he asked like the perfect gentleman should.
"It's Ok, I'll see you in the morning or I'll phone you later." replied Gabriella.
"Dude, we'll split aswell Taylor has studying to do." Chad said.
"Yeah ok, I'll see you guys tommorow" Troy answerd. Chad and Taylor showed themselves out.
"Bye Troy" said Gabriella hugging him on the front door step.
"Bye Gabs" said Troy kissing her on the cheek.
Gabriella was halfway down the road when she heard Troys voice calling her.
"Gabs!" he shouted. Gabriella turned around to see what he wanted.
"I love you" Troy shouted.
"I love you too wildcat!" Gabriella shouted back her heart beating fast. He loved her. That four
letterd word, he said it. She had never felt this way about anyone.
