A/N: Oh… My… God!! Y'all did it! I got reviews! So, now I have to write, write, write! Here is Chapter 10 and 11 and 12 and 13! Sorry it took a while but I really tried to write these fast but I am writing the story as I go, so I had to think of what to write.

Chapter 10

--

Gabriella felt his hand move to her cheek and his thumb stroke her cheek gently. When the need for oxygen became absolutely necessary, they pulled away but kept their eyes locked. "Gabriella…?" He spoke so softly Gabriella barely hear him over her own thoughts. Maybe Troy really did like her…

--

"Yeah?" Gabriella responded, still partly in a daze from the kiss the had just shared. Gabriella looked straight into his eyes, but found that he still had them closed form the kiss.

"I'm really not that bad. I can promise you that." He stated, his eyes staying shut.

Gabriella leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his lips and he opened his eyes. "I think I've already known that…" She whispered, their heads still close.

Troy set his forehead against hers. "It's just… It's a long story." Troy sighed before continuing, "I promise I'm not as bad as people think I am." He said again.

He really didn't know the entire reason why he was so worried that Gabriella might believe everyone else and think that he was some horrible guy. Maybe, just maybe, he did like her as more than a friend. The only thing was, how could she feel the same way?

"Troy, I know you're not as bad as people say you are. Truthfully, I don't think you're 'bad' at all. I just think you're misunderstood." Gabriella explained. Now she was just hoping that Troy wasn't going to get angry by what she said.

"Wow." Troy mused and smiled at her with his charming smile that could make any girl melt. "I think you hit the bulls eye on that one." Gabriella smiled back at him. "But you have some things misunderstood about you too, Gabriella."

"What things might you be talking about, Mr. Bolton?" Gabriella asked as she shifted her body so her chin was resting on his chest. She put one of her arms around his waist to hold him closer to her.

"That you are this perfect little straight A student who doesn't meet guys in the middle of the night." Troy joked. A smug smirk spread across his face.

"So you don't want me to meet guys in the middle of the night?" Gabriella said, a smirk on her face too. She could have fun with this.

"No." Troy said in a fake father voice, "You should not go meet guys in the middle of the night."

"Okay." Gabriella said before moving to stand up. "I guess I should go home then." She was now on her knees in her quest to stand up.

Troy reached out his arm and pulled her back down to where she landed on top of him, her back to his chest. Troy put a hand on each side of her hips to spin her around so she was directly on top of him with their fronts touching. Still having his hold on her hips, he crashed his lips to hers.

This set of kisses was not like the previous one. Once again, it was not rushed, but it wasn't gentle either. It was hungry and hard, but not quite forceful. Gabriella buried her hand in his brown hair and fought his tongue for dominance. Troy's hands also moved. His hands that were once innocently on her waist, were now sliding down to her ass ever so slowly.

Gabriella straddled his waist and slid her hand that was not in his hair between their two bodies to rest on his chest. Troy's hands were now cupping her ass in an effort to keep her as close to him as possible. Knowing how to turn Troy on even more, Gabriella grinded her hips down onto his groin area, creating much loved friction between their two bodies.

A strangled moan escaped Troy's lips at the friction, and he squeezed her ass slightly. "God, Gabriella." Troy managed to speak. He abandoned her ass and moved his hands back to her hips. In one swift motion, Troy swapped their positions so Gabriella was the one with her back pressed up against the earth. Gabriella and Troy broke apart for oxygen, but Troy just went straight to placing open-mouthed kisses along her neck.

"No…marks…" Gabriella said as she was still trying to catch her breath. Troy rubbed one of his hands that were on her waist so Gabriella knew that he heard. If there were hickeys, Chad would be even more infuriated. Gabriella hated the fact that Taylor and Chad were ignoring her and avoiding her like the plague. She knew she would have to fix the rough patch soon, but right now she was with Troy. Chad could wait until tomorrow.

Troy stopped placing kisses along her neck to catch his breath. He wasn't ready to be without contact of Gabriella so he caught his breath in the crook of her neck. He moved his hands that were placed on her hips up, bringing her shirt up with them. Gabriella suddenly trembled, and Troy felt it. She was getting nervous. "I promised you I'm not bad…" Troy whispered against her neck.

He moved the red shirt along with her black undershirt up to just below her belly button. Then, he moved his hands back down to their previous place at her hips. He rubbed his thumbs in circles along her stomach in a soothing manner. "I know, Troy." Gabriella replied to his earlier reminder. The two teens layed in that same position for a few minutes, both of them basking in the others presence.

"Troy…" Gabriella said softly and ran her hand through his hair.

"Hmm?" Came is reply.

"Kelsi and Sharpay are waiting for me in the car. I should probably go back. Troy rolled off of her and onto the ground beside her.

"Right." He said then got up to stand. Once his feet were firmly planted on the ground, he extended his hands to Gabriella. She grabbed both of his hands and allowed him to pull her up.

"Can I see you again tomorrow?" Troy asked, his eyes locking with hers.

At that moment she was sure, math wiz and all, that if someone shouted out a simple multiplication fact, she wouldn't be able to answer it correctly, because she was lost in his eyes. It took her a second to realize that he had asked her a question. "I don't know. Maybe." Gabriella shrugged.

"I would love it if I did." Troy said and smiled a smile that could have stretched all the way to China AND won the award for Best Smile of the Century. Gabriella couldn't help but smile back.

"I'll try to make sure of that." Gabriella said, not letting go of his hands.

Troy pulled his hands to his sides but didn't let go of Gabriella's so she smashed right against him. Gabriella giggled. Troy kissed her on the lips softly, now fully aware that Gabriella's laugh was his favorite sound and was music to his ears.

"You do know that you are going to have to let me leave, right?" Gabriella teased, just causing him to kiss her once again.

"Yes." Troy answered and stroked his thumbs on her hands. "But I don't wanna!" Troy added in a whining voice, sounding like a five year old whining to his mother about going to school.

"Well, I guess we both have to do something we don't like. It's not like I want to leave right now either." Gabriella sighed and untangled her right hand from his much larger one. She placed her hand on the side of his face and they both leaned in for one last parting kiss.

This kiss was another one of those soft and gentle Troy kisses that Gabriella was falling in love with. After a few seconds they parted reluctantly. "Talk to you later, Wildcat." The new nickname for Troy rolled out and Troy caught it.

"Wildcat?" Troy questioned.

"What? Do you prefer kitty-kitty?" Gabriella taunted with a smile. Troy grinned back

"No. Wildcat is just fine." Troy nodded and placed his hand on top of her hand that was still on the side of his face. "Kelsi and Sharpay are waiting for you…" Troy reminded Gabriella.

"Yeah…" The last thing Gabriella wanted to do was leave, but she know she had to walk away from Troy sometime. "Bye, kitty-kitty." Gabriella giggled before unlacing her left hand from Troy's and walking towards the car that held her two best friends that couldn't wait to hear what had happened.

A/N: This one is a little short but this was a really good place to end it. The next chapter will have a lot of humor I think, so it will make up for all the cheesy-ness that was in this chapter. Chapter 11 will be up in a few hours, but in the meantime, tell me your thoughts on The One And Only Hottness That Happens To Be Named Troy Bolton!! I want to hear what you guys think about him in this chapter. Troyella wont be official until a few more Chapters so be patient.

If any of y'all have read my one shots, THNAK YOU! And, my one-shot called Hot has gotten a few reviews that said you guys wanted me to continue it… SO… I am going to make it into a three-shot. Once I finish Chapter 11 and 12 of Beat Up By A Girl, I will start on that and do Chapter 5 of She Don't Want The World.
