Remembering the Past

Almost, but Not Quite

Gabriella's POV

Troy looked at me shocked and with a smile on his face.

"Really?"

I nodded and Troy had this silly grin on his face. We both stared at each other with a smile on our faces.

"Ok moving on, lovebirds!" Chad said and Taylor hit him in the back of his head.

"Ow!" and everyone laughed except for Chad.

"Yeah. Thanks for ruining the moment Chad." Troy told him sarcastically.

"Your welcome dude!"

We all shook our heads at him and I continued to move on, "Ok, Sharpay. Truth or Dare?"
"Umm.. Dare!"

"Ok, ummm..I dare you not to wear anything pink for 2 days!" I told her smirking and everyone listened closely at what she was going to say since they know that she will freak.

"WHAT?!?! NO WAY!." She yelled.

"Come on! You picked the dare sis!" Ryan said.

"Fine! Whatever… Ok, Troy, truth or dare?" Sharpay asked while begging in her mind for him to pick dare.

No one's POV

"Truth!" and everyone groaned again except for Troy, Gabi, and Zeke, who was smirking.

"What a chicken!" Zeke said while making a chicken sound.

Troy looked at him in shock, "No I am so not!"

"Prove it!"

"Fine, Dare!"

Sharpay smiled and thought, 'I have to thank him later.'

"Ok, I dare you to kiss Gabi! On the Lips!" Sharpay said excitedly.

Troy turned to look at Gabi who was blushing and he put his hand on her chin. They stared at each other's eyes and started to lean in. They even closed their eyes and their lips were almost touching when…

"Gabi! Your mom needs you home! She said you can't sleep over for tonight! Sorry!" Jack shouted from down the stairs which is close to Troy's room.

Troy and Gabi jumped apart completely blushing while everyone else groaned.

'Almost, but not quite.' Troy and Gabi thought to themselves.

'That was so close!' The others thought to themselves.

"Sorry guys! I have to get home..I will see you tomorrow! Are we still up for breakfast in the diner?" Gabi asked and everyone nodded. She hugged everyone.

"Ok then, bye!" she started walking away but came back to kiss Troy on the cheek.

"Bye Troy. I will see you tomorrow! Bye guys!"

"Bye!" Everyone said except Troy who was still shocked from what happened.

Everyone turned to look at him and saw that he was touching the cheek from where Gabi kissed him.

They all shook their heads all thinking the same thing, 'He is still so madly in love with her.'

The Next Day

"Hey Gabi! Why did your mom called you again?" Kelsi asked as they were all sitting in the diner waiting for their orders.

"Oh, she had to go to another business meeting but will be back in two days. Was she always like that? I mean always going to business trips?" Gabi asked.

"Yeah sometimes but she still finds time for you." Taylor said.

Gabi nodded and Zeke said, 'Hey Gabi, Troy. You guys still had to do the dare."

Troy and Gabi looked at each other and Troy could sense that she was uncomfortable.

"Maybe next time." Troy said a little disappointed but he still respected her decisions.

"Thanks Troy." Gabi said.

Troy just nodded and Gabi said, "Umm Troy? After eating, could you please tell us about our relationship or something about us. I have a lot of questions about my past and umm.. could you possible help me?"

"I will be happy to Gabi. You know that I will always help you." Troy said.

"Is it okay with you guys? I mean to leave you guys while Troy and I talk about some things?"
"Sure, Gabi! No problem!" Sharpay said.

I nodded thankfully and saw the waitress coming our way to serve our food.

After eating, the girls and the guys, except for Troy and Gabriella, went to the mall. Troy and Gabriella laughed seeing the girls forcefully dragging the other guys to the mall.

"Was I also like that to you? Dragging you to the mall?" Gabriella asked him as they were walking down the sidewalk.

"Nope. You think about others first before you yourself. That's why I know I picked the right girl." Troy said honestly while Gabi blushed.

"So where do you want to go?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shrugged and she said, "I don't know. Wherever you think will help me."

"You want me to umm.. tell you our firsts?"

Gabi nodded and said, "I'd love to."
