Troy Bolton was the type of guy that every one wanted to be like. He was loved, envy and hated by most of the people in the school. He was also one of the most popular people in the schools along with his friends; Chad Danforth, Gabriella Montez, Taylor McKessie, Sharpay and Ryan Evans, Zeke Baylor, Kelsi Nelson and Jason Cross. The only problem was seeing as he could get any girl; there was only one he really wanted; Gabriella Montez.
Gabriella was his best friend who he has been in love with since they were 13 and now they are 17. Gabriella was just like the girl version of Troy. She was wanted by every guy in the school but she didn't go for any of them.
"Hey Wildcat" Gabriella said as she came in Troy's backyard to find him shooting hoops.
"Hey Brie; what's up." Troy said as he smiled at her.
"Oh nothing I'm just came to see what was up with you until I go shopping with the girls." Gabriella said as she took the ball and made a shot.
"So you ready for your birthday next week?" Troy said as he passed her the ball.
"Hell Yeah! I'll finally be 17." Gabriella said as Troy laughed at her excitement.
"Yeah so what did you get me for my birthday?" Gabriella said as they both sat down and she smiled at him.
"I don't think so; you know I never tell you what I got you." Troy said as Gabriella pouted.
"Pwease Twoy." Gabriella said in a baby voice causing Troy to melt on the inside looking at her.
"Sorry Brie." Troy said as Gabriella sighed.
"Fine at least I tried." Gabriella said as they both laughed.
"I got to go I see you later Wildcat." Gabriella said as she got up and helped Troy up.
"Okay Brie; see you." Troy said as Gabriella kissed him on the cheek leaving him with a goofy smile that she didn't see.
"So dude; when are you going to tell Gabster how you feel." Chad said as he was sitting in Troy's room.
"I don't know Chad every time I try to tell her we either get interrupted or I chicken out." Troy said as he laid on his bed.
"Well you better tell her quick before she's gone. Gabby is the most popular girl in school and you know that every guys wants her so you need to hurry and make your move." Chad said as he looked at Troy.
"I know that Chad you think I don't see how every guy keeps trying to get with her. The only part about me asking her out is that I don't know how to." Troy said as he looked at his best friend.
"Dude you've asked out girl before what's so different that you can't ask Gabby out." Chad said.
"She's not just some girl. She's different form the others. I don't know how but she is and she just makes me feel different." Troy said as he smiled at a picture of Gabriella that her had on his night stand.
"Okay well her birthday is next week why not do something for her there." Chad said as Troy smiled at him.
"Chad you're a genius." Troy said smiling.
"Yeah I get that a lot." Chad said as Troy rolled his eyes.
For the past week Troy had been working on his gift for Gabriella hoping that it would help them get together. Saturday finally came which happened to be Gabriella's birthday and her party was one of the best of the year. She had a huge party at Lava Springs with music, dancing and everything a girl would want for her 17th birthday.
"This is the best party ever Brie-Ella." Sharpay said as her and the girls were dancing to Ke$ha's Tic Tok.
"Yeah I know." Gabriella said as the girls all laughed and finished up dancing. While the song was playing Chad and Troy were backstage.
"You ready for this dude." Chad said as he looked at his friend.
"Yeah but lets just hope this works." Troy said.
"Don't worry it will." Chad said as he went on stage after the song finished.
"Alright everyone you guys having fun." Chad said as everyone started to cheer.
"Okay well first I want to say Happy Birthday to my lil sis Gabriella." Chad said as Gabriella smiled at him.
"And next I want to say that we have a little gift for Gabby right now." Chad said as Gabriella looked at him confused.
"Ladies and Gentleman give it up for Troy Bolton." Chad said as everyone clapped as Troy came out.
"This is for you Gabby." Troy said as he smiled at her and the music started to play.
Turn Around You call me a stranger I'm confident You call me a stranger You are an angel Take a look at me so you can see Your beauty seems so far away I know that I can't make you stay
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me
I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we'd turn into
I was hoping that you could see
Take a look at me so you can see
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
Making all my dreams come true tonight
How beautiful you are
I'd have to write a thousand songs to make you comprehend how beautiful you are
But I would give my final breathe to make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are
Troy starts to walk down the stage towards Gabriella and sings the next part as he stands in front of her. You call me a stranger You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
You say I'm a danger
You call me a stranger
"Happy Birthday Brie." Troy said as he smiled at her and hugged her as everyone cheered.
"OMG Troy that was beautiful." Gabriella said as she smiled at him.
"Thanks um can I talk to you alone for a minute." Troy said as Gabriella nodded and they went outside.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Gabriella said as she looked at him.
"Um well" Troy said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Come on Troy; you know you can tell me anything." Gabriella said as she smiled at him.
"I Love you Gabriella; I always have. All I do is thing of you; in my dreams, when we're at school everywhere. Every time I see a guy try and ask you out I get jealous and only want you to myself. I've been in love with you since we were 13 and I just couldn't tell you because I was scared that I would lose you as my best friend. But I do love you Gabriella with all my heart." Troy said as Gabriella looked at him with her eyes wide.
"Its okay if you don't" Troy started to say but was cut off by Gabriella kissing him. At first he was shocked but then he relaxed and kissed her back. They stayed like that for a while until air became needed and then they pulled back.
"Wow." Was all troy could said as he looked at Gabriella.
"I Love you too Troy. I always have; I was just afraid that you didn't feel the same way." Gabriella said as Troy smiled at her and spun her around.
"Troy put me down." Gabriella said laughing as he did as he was told.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Troy said as he looked into her eyes.
"I'd love too." Gabriella said as they shared a passionate kiss.
"This was the best birthday ever." Gabriella said as they smiled at each other.
There you go hope you like it. The song was Secondhand Serenade Stranger.
