Chapter 10

"You're really deep you know that wildcat," says Gabriella the next morning

"You've changed me," says Troy

Troy's phone rings.

"DUDE where are you?" shouts Chad as soon as Troy picks up

"Why?" asks Troy

"The game in the park," says Chad

"Oh the game in the park I completely forgot," says Troy

"You been with your girl?" asks Chad

"Yes I am with my girl," says Troy

"Bring her with you," says Chad

"One sec," says Troy

Troy turns to Gabriella.

"Babe would you like to go to the park to watch me play basketball?" asks Troy

Gabriella takes a deep breath and then speaks in a voice that sounds nothing like her own.

"But I was under the impression you were mine for the day," whispers Gabriella in a sultry tone.

"Oh your girl wants some see you Monday," says Chad and he hangs up

"Hey Brie I was thinking me you date tonight," says Troy

"Tonight date you me?" asks Gabriella

"Yeah," says Troy

"Sure time," says Gabriella

"7 I'll pick you up," says Troy

"Ok so you have to go at 5," says Gabriella

"Brie it doesn't take you 3 hours to get ready," says Troy

"Troy it's our first date and my first date ever I wanna remember it," says Gabriella

"I promise I will make it special for you and you won't forget it," says Troy

At 5 o'clock Gabriella kicks Troy out and starts the process of getting ready.

She plugs her Ipod into Ipod dock and music fills the room as Gabriella starts to panic about what to wear when her phone chimes.

Fancy

Troy

How'd you know

Brie

It's you.

See you in 2 hours 45 mins

Troy

Thanks

Brie

You look beautiful in whatever you wear

Troy

Gabriella starts to shift to her wardrobe to find the perfect outfit.

She picks out a blue dress that comes up to her knees and is on one shoulder.. The body is just solid blue. (Link in my profile)

She teams it with a thin black belt and black peep toe heels.

She leaves her hair down in its natural curls. She is about to apply make-up when her phone chimes.

You don't need make-up

Troy

Are you watching me wildcat

Brie

Me! No

Troy

TROY

Brie

Ok I saw you pick up the make-up brush.

I have just come in my room to get ready.

Troy

Ok see you in half an hour.

Brie

Gabriella goes over and closes her curtains.

Then she goes over to her dresser and tries natural makeup on.

Gabriella goes into a daydream about where the date could be and is startled what seems only minutes later when in reality it is 15 minutes by the door bell.

She grabs a clutch bag that matches her dress, slips her house keys and phone into her bag. Than she slips on her shoes.

She then runs down stairs to answer the door.

Gabriella opens the front door to her gorgeous brown haired boyfriend clad in a black buttoned down shirt paired with black stone washed jeans and black and white tennis shoes.

"Wow Brie you look stunning," stutters Troy

Gabriella blushes and looks down.

"GABRIELLA ANNE MONTEZ HOW COULD YOU HE'S TROY BOLTON," shouts Taylor

"I'm perfectly well aware who it is," retorts Gabriella

"And what are you doing with him?" asks Taylor hotly

"We are going on our first date," replies Gabriella

"Date, DATE with HIM are you insane he's TROY BOLTON he doesn't DATE he sleeps with ANY BIMBO WILLGING," shouts Taylor

"Taylor are not my mother you cannot tell me who to date and who not to I make my own decisions. You cannot tell me what to do," declares Gabriella

"Gabriella he is pond scrum, the lowest of the low you can do so much better. He is going to crush your heart. He get your charmed you'll sleep with him and then he'll dump you and brag he did the school nerd," states Taylor

"I trust him," retorts Gabriella

"How can you trust him just last month he pushed you over in the lunch room," exclaims Taylor

"That was an accident your boyfriend pushed him into me," cries Gabriella

"Brie we need to go," says Troy

"Coming," smiles Gabriella "Goodbye Taylor," she says bitterly

Troy and Gabriella proceed to Troy's car. Taylor fuming behind them.

"Your chariot awaits m'lady," says Troy

Gabriella giggles "I could totally kiss you right now,"

"What's stopping you?" asks Troy tenderly

Gabriella giggles again and kisses Troy as they pull away they rest their foreheads against each other.

"I love you Brie," confesses Troy in a whisper

"I love you too wildcat," smiles Gabriella leaning in to kiss him.

Taylor scoffs and stalks across the road into her house slamming the front door behind.

"TAYLOR MCKESSIE," Gabriella and Troy her mum shout.

"WHAT," demands Taylor

"Don't take that tone with me young lady what's up," says her mum

"GABRIELLA IS DATING A COMPLETE TOOL," shouts Taylor before slamming her bedroom door.

Troy and Gabriella get into the car and start driving to their destination.

"Where are we going?" asks Gabriella

"Surprise," smirks Troy

"Troy," whines Gabriella giving him the puppy dog pout

"Brie stop with the puppy dog pout yeah it's cute but it also turns me on slightly. I am not telling you where we are going," says Troy

Gabriella leans against the car window watching as the houses fly by. Two minutes later she hears the car stop.

"Troy why are we at your house?" asks Gabriella

"Your home alone, you just had a major row with your best and longest friend you not going to want to go out so what do you say we curl up on the couch order a take-away and put a movie," suggests Troy

"That sounds nice but were we going to go for our date," says Gabriella

"I was going to take you to Le Bella's and then to the drive in movie to see Pride and Prejudice," says Troy

"And what are we watching instead?" asks Gabriella

"You have a pick of The Notebook, the Last Song, Notting Hill or Valentine's day," says Troy

"Your great you know that and Notting Hill," says Gabriella

Gabriella and Troy go into the house.

"You wanna borrow some clothes?" asks Troy

Gabriella nods and blushes.

"Follow me," says Troy

Gabriella follows him up to his room and he hands her an old wildcat t-shirt and a pair of shorts.

"The bathroom is next door what do you want for take-away?" asks Troy

"Indian order whatever," says Gabriella

Gabriella goes in the bathroom while Troy skims the menu for Maharajahs Indian Restaurant. He then phones them up.

"Hey I'd like to place an order. Could I have two lots of the Sheek Kebabs, one order of the Kind Prawn butterfly's, one order of the murgh kebab, one order of the Mughlai Lamb Kebab, one order of Shahi Murgh Tikka Massallam, one order of Mughlai Lamb Tikka Massallam, one order of Chicken Korma, one order of nan bread and one order of garlic nan bread, and a two litre bottle of diet coke please," orders Troy

"That will be $43.85 your address," says Troy

Troy reels of the address and the order is to be with him in 45 minutes.

"Planning on feeding an army?" asks Gabriella from the door way

"No just you and me," smiles Troy

Troy stands there staring at his girlfriend clad in his t-shirt and shorts.

"Troy, Troy," says Gabriella waving her hand in Troy's face.

"What?" asks Troy

"Something got your attention wildcat?" asks Gabriella

"You look gorgeous," says Troy

"You say that about everything I wear," says Gabriella

"It's true," says Troy

"So should we but Notting Hill on?" asks Gabriella

"We shall," says Troy

And they settle down to watch Notting Hill and wait for their take-away for their first date.
