Gabriella was all smiles as she walked home. She put in her iPod earphones and listened to KISS all the way home.
When she got home, she plopped down on the bed spreading her arms out wide not wiping the smile away from her face once. Even though Gabriella had dinner by herself that night and her mother was at work she wasn't unhappy. She cleaned up and after doing her homework she sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV. Reading the subtitles, there was absolutely nothing interesting on whatsoever. She sighed and got up and decided to go on the computer and play a game of some kind.

At East High the next day, Gabriella walked in homeroom a bit late. She spotted Troy talking to Taylor which was a bit odd but whatever. As soon as troy spotted Gabriella sitting down in her seat, he went over to her and grabbed her hand pulling her out of her seat again. She smiled in confusion and he led her out of the classroom, with almost all the students watching them the whole time. Troy simply led her out and stopped around the door. Gabriella was smiling and noticed him swiftly move his hands in sign language. Her smiled faded in shock but also in pure delight. Her eyes widened. Troy had asked Gabriella to go out with him on Saturday night in sign language. Gabriella stood there looking at him and Troy was about to die from the feeling of rejection, he wasn't used to it. He looked at the floor but then heard her.
"I would love to" she said and troy whipped his head up and his expression brightened. "I would" she said smiling. She leant up and gave him a very soft kiss on the cheek and walked back into the classroom giving him one last look. Troy grinned to himself, he was bouncing of the walls! He was so happy.
Later on, they worked out that Troy would pick her up at 7. Gabriella and Troy were smiling the whole day and were completely oblivious that their friends were giving them strange looks. "Oh my gosh!" Gabriella whispered to herself. Tomorrow was Saturday! She was getting excited and nervous at the same time. She would go home and decide what to wear.

The night finally came and it was 6.45pm. Gabriella was watching some TV while waiting for Troy. She looked at her watch, it was now 6.59. No wait, it just changed to 7.00pm and as it did, the doorbell rang. Gabriella's heart skipped a beat and her stomach did a flip. Troy didn't tell her to wear anything special so she wore jeans, boots, a white top and a crop jacket (outfit in profile). She let her hair down and it fell loosely over her face and she put some eye makeup on accentuating them. She had earrings in as well and she simply looked prettier than ever, this was proved when she opened the door and Troy took a step back and seemed to be speechless. Gabriella smiled inwardly.
"You look gorgeous Gabriella" he said.
"Thank you" she replied. "You're looking very sharp" she said looking him up and down. "And…where exactly are we going?" Gabriella asked. Troy just grinned and took her hand and walked her to the car. He opened the door for her and she happily got it the passengers seat. They drove in a comfortable silence, it was a bit too hard to communicate but they didn't seem to mind. After about 10 minutes of driving, it was all dark and Troy pulled up to a small park called Halfpenny Park. He parked in the small parking lot and went to open Gabriella's door and walked her over to the gazebo in the park. This was an enclosed Gazebo (in profile) and Gabriella saw some twinkling lights coming from the inside. Troy pushed open the door and stood there letting Gabriella inside. "Wow" she said. "This is beautiful". There were candles lit around the edges of the Gazebo and a red checkered rug in the middle and some food in a basket. "Troy you didn't have to do this" she said turning to him.
"Oh but I wanted to" he said bending down putting his bag there but Gabriella couldn't hear him or see his face so she just stood there and then Troy realized. Damn. He walked over to her and rubbed his hands up and down her soft arms. "I wanted to" he said again and Gabriella smiled.

They had a wonderful meal for about 35 minutes including desert and nice conversation between the two. Once they were finished Gabriella decided to teach Troy some more sign language. Gabriella giggled at Troy's mistakes and he laughed at himself too. Troy then put his hand up to stop Gabriella and then looked at the roof as if he was thinking. He moved his hands up and began to move them suddenly and Gabriella's face lightened, he was again talking in sign language. He said, "I really really like you Gabriella and I'm sorry" in sign. Gabriella felt a tear roll down her cheek. He said he liked her and apologized, and the fact he had learnt to say that in sign language meant a lot to her. He moved over to her and brushed the tear away with his thumb.
"I really like you too Troy" Gabriella replied and Troy smiled. He leant over and kissed her on the cheek and Gabriella could feel herself blushing. She looked at the ground and Troy chuckled to himself at how cute she was. "Thank you for this" she said looking at him in the eyes.
"It's my pleasure, you deserve it Gabriella" Troy said. He took her hand and led her out of the gazebo, but Gabriella pulled back and pointed at the floor. "I have someone to take care of that" he said cheekily. So Troy took her out of the gazebo and out for a walk in the park. This was a very nice park I might add. It had tall lamps and a few of the large trees had fairy lights throughout them, Gabriella new Troy wanted to make this very romantic so Gabriella held his arm and moved closer to him. He noticed this and Gabriella looked up subtly to see his smile getting bigger. All of a sudden, Gabriella wanted to kiss him, but she would wait.
Troy took Gabriella back home at 11:30 and they were both very upset the date was over. They both had such a great time and they could both sense neither of them wanted to leave. Troy walked Gabriella to the door and they stood outside for a bit. "Tonight was amazing Troy, I really enjoyed it"
"I'm glad you liked it, I had a great time" he said. Troy usually remembered now to look right at Gabriella when he was talking so she could read his lips and understand him.
"I didn't want it to end, I'm sad I have to go back inside now" Gabriella finally admitted with a frown. Troy lifted her chin up with his fingers.
"Neither do I" he said and he bent down to give her a kiss on the cheek but Gabriella put her hand on his cheek and turned his face so his lips softly landed on hers. Gabriella could hear the fireworks in the back of her mind. His lips were so soft and gentle. And hers were so warm and tender. The kiss was just a small one and lasted about 5 seconds but it seemed like eternity. They pulled apart and both opened their eyes. Gabriella saw that Troy was beaming and so was Gabriella.
"Goodnight" she said softly and walked inside her house giving him one last smile as she clicked the door closed. Troy's smiled grew almost as big as his face. He turned around walking back to his car not breaking the smile all the way home. He kissed Gabriella!! I kissed her! The kiss was absolutely perfect. He had never felt anything like it before, sure he had had raunchy and hungry kisses but he had never really had a small, perfect kiss not lasting more than 10 seconds that was full of passion and meaning. He couldn't wait to see her at school on Monday.
Gabriella leant her back against the back of the door with a huge smile on her face. She kissed him! I kissed Troy Bolton! She giggled to herself, that's how happy she was. She ran upstairs and jumped on her bed falling backwards and happily looking at the ceiling, it was amazing. Her first kiss was absolutely amazing and she never ever wanted it to end. She was very much looking forward to seeing him on Monday!!
Hope you liked it! I'm really sorry for the short chapters, there will be longer ones I promise!
