"This is not a good idea!" Gabriella yelled from her bathroom. Troy was lying on her bed flipping through the channels waiting for her to change into her bathing suit.

"What do you mean it's not a good idea?" He yelled back at her. She opened the door covered in a shirt and shorts hiding her bathing suit killing Troy. He wanted to see what she looked like so incredibly badly to figure out how more beautiful she is.

"The beach downtown near Isabella's work? I'm going to die indefinately." She said going back in the bathroom. He grunted knocking on her door. She opens it looking up into his blue eyes innocently making him swoon and wanting to plant a kiss on her.

"Look, we won't get caught. The beach we go to has not alot of people because it's hidden around this time of the day. It's extremely beautiful at night time getting a whole bunch of people at that time. Now come on." He walks downstairs with her nervous and excited to go on with the date-day. Troy helped her go through the hole and into Jason's backyard greeting their friends. Taylor runs up to Gabby and pulls her into the group she and Sharpay made.

"You look gorgeous Gabs!" Taylor said smiling making Sharpay jealous.

"Sharpay, Where the hell have you been?" Gabby jumps on her and wraps her arms around her waist looking like a couple.

"Grounded babe." She smiles letting Gabby go. Gabby decides to jump ontop of her back trying to impress Troy by all the fun that she is having. It succeeds having him focusing only on her smiliing and not his friends conversation. Sharpay holds onto her tightly this time and laughs. Gabby chimes in looking at Taylor who looks alone.

"Oh come on Taylor, we'll do this at the beach. I promise." Sharpay said being friendly which was odd. Troy looks over to Jason who's reclined against the bench chair looking at Gabby up and down while on Sharpay's back.

"Damn she's sexy." Jason said causing Chad to get raged.

"Fuck off dude." Chad said deffending his brother while Jason always continued to hit on his girl.

"Leave her alone, she doesn't really need another jack-ass in her life." Troy said finally defending her.

"Look, you never called dibs yet so today, I will make her mine if you don't have the balls too." Jason smirked and walked away to the girls.

"Jason don't!" Troy yelled at him.

"Hey Gabriella, ladies." Gabby stopped giggling and looked at him.

"Hey Jason. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you and Sharpay would like to drive with me to the beach today. I was hoping we could develop a trust system together." The girls both exchange looks shrugging.

"If its not a problem with Troy-" Gabby begins.

"He wouldn't mind." Jason grabs her bag and hurries them to the car.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Troy called after Jason who had his hands on Gabriella's shoulders.

"She's driving with me. Sorry." Just as she was about to speak to him, Jason spun her around dragging her to the car and quickly driving off before Troy could argue. He swears under his breath and drives with Chad and Taylor.

When reaching the beautiful sky blue beach and golden sandy paths, Gabriella quickly ran to Troy's side annoyed of Jason and his way of impressing the ladies. Troy chuckles seeing Gabby standing right next to him bored.

"I'm glad you made it." He smirks making her giggle.

"Oh my god. Why are you guys friends? All he does is talk about himself and nothing more." Troy chuckles grabbing the cooler out of his trunk. Gabby shuts it for him helping with the towels and umbrellas.

"I know, he thinks he's all that in a bag of chips. It annoys me with how many girls he hooks up with." He sets everything down looking around at the crowd and how not alot of people are there. "Before the other yahoo's come, let's go swim alone." He says pulling his shirt off looking at her practically drooling. He had the sexiest body a girl could ever see. You could make cookies off the boy's stomach. Gabby shook her thoughts away slipping off her pants and pulling off her shirt to reveal a cute sky blue bikini. Troy's heart rate begins to race looking at her beautiful slender body that was long and skinny. Gabby notices that hes staring and she quickly grabs her towel and covers herself up.

"Is there something on my stomach? I knew I shouldn't have worn a bikini." She said looking down. Troy grabs the towel and pulls it away and smiles.

"Nothings wrong, you look so beautiful. That's all." She smiles looking at the water and running off into it crashing into each wave. Troy grabs a hold of her hand so he doesn't loose her. She smiles squishing her feet into the water feeling like a little kid again. She loves this feeling that arises in her stomach making such a huge deal because she gets to cut loose like she never did before meeting Troy. She quickly looks over to Taylor and Chad making their way into the water holding hands and enjoying the sun. Sharpay is talking with Jason under the umbrella.

"Instant boner." He says randomly.

"Excuse me?" She says disgusted.

"He got an instant boner looking at your friend over there." Sharpay looks at Gabriella having a great time with Troy.

"Look, I don't know how to break it to you, but she likes him and I know it. Now back off alright?" Jason looks at her and begins to form an evil plan.

"If you tell her anything that I will tell you, I will ruin everything. I will make her mine no matter how hard I try and she will never be his. You got it sweet cheeks?"

"You can't force someone to fall in love with you." Sharpay said getting up. Jason quickly followed her.

"Yeah I can." He leans into her face. "Watch me." He pulls back away and runs to the beach throwing his shirt on the sand not caring. He swims over to Gabby and Troy. She's on Troy's back while getting splashed with plenty of water in her face. They both stop laughing when he walks up to the group annoying Jason.

"Hey guys." Gabby looks at Troy before speaking.

"If you don't mind, we were trying to be alone." She said politely.

"No, I don't mind. I just wanted to see what was up." He smiles before swimming over to Chad and Taylor. Sharpay is flirting with a group of guys causing Gabby to giggle.

Walking along the beach, Gabby and Troy are walking along the pier looking at the shore and skyline at night. Troy has been considering asking Gabby out since how close they are the past weeks.

"If I asked you something, would you freak out?" He quickly asked her checking her reaction.

"No, I wouldn't think so. Why? Do you have cancer?" She said with a giggle.

"Yeah actually..." He said seriously. She looked at him about to freak out.

"I'm so sorry! I can't-"

"I'm just kidding. But um..I like you, alot. And not just as a friend." Troy said nervously. Gabby freaked out what was she supposed to say?

"Uhm, I like you alot too. But um. Where are you going with this?" Troy stopped and looked at her.

"I mean like, I told you I like you and I kinda wanna be in a relationship with you..." Gabby began to freak out. What was she supposed to say. Shar and them are all gone and she's never ever been in this situation before.

"Um...Oh?" Gabby felt like fainting right now.

"Oh?" He said hurt. "So we've been sneaking around all this time and don't get me wrong, I thought we really connected; And all you say is Oh?" He starts to walk away feeling miserable. Gabby chases after him.

"I'm sorry Troy! I don-"

"Just save it please. I mean, this is why I never tell girls about how I'm feeling. They always do this to me. Bye Gabriella." He walks away and Gabby doesn't follow him this time. She turns away and looks at the water, running her hand through her hair starring at the night sky and thinking: "Why did it turn out this way? What do I do?" Sharpay comes running up to her.

"Are you alright?"

"No."

"Do you want me to stay over tonight?" Gabby began to cry.

"Yeah, please." Sharpay hugs her rubbing her back. Gabby began to cry harder looking at Troy, Chad, and Taylor walking to the car leaving. She cried harded knowing she was going to drive home with Jason.

"Ready Ladies?" Jason said flirtacious. Sharpay pulled away and grabbed Gabby's hand and walked with her to the car.

"It's going to be alright sweetie. I promise." They reached the car and sat down. This was going to be a long car ride.

AN: Okay, well that was WAAAY better then chapter nine(: Okay, So yesterday night I made the new story called, "Living in the Dark" Which I started, and is almost done.

I'm horrible at trailors so basically, I'm going to type out something I already wrote, that is featured in the first episode like you see in a newspaper or fandago if your looking for a movie.

"Welcome to the West Gate Apartments. We have lovely housing and its quite almost everyday." That was an understatement coming from our landlord. When you watch life go on outside your windows, you tend to pick up all these things about people. Living in the West Gate Apartments, you learn how people live and why they live here. Some people come in pregnant being kicked out from their lovely peaceful homes and being dumped into this run down home. Some people come here living their life in denial and look to the bottle as their comfort, the only thing that loves them. Other people come from abusive households, looking into drugs and other inhlants to smoke up their troubles and to lift them in the air while they stay down wanting to go up. You also get the type of people who had it all, being smart and popular but settling with the worst of worst because they think they are in love when reality says no. And then you get me, the type of people who were raised to do better, raised in a good neighboorhood and suddenly fall into the wrong crowd becoming destructive and loosing the loved ones along the way.

"I don't want to be mean but." He stopped. "So let's just face it." He smiles leaning into her. "Troy doesn't really like you like that. He's just being a really good friend." Jason leans in closer and kisses her.
