Chapter 10: I Knew It

Gabriella sighed and rubbed her temples, A.P. Chemistry was way too hard tonight. Troy groaned and pushed his own chemistry book to the ground, they'd put Erin down an hour ago, so the apartment was silent. He smiled at Gabriella, she was trying to figure out the homework too. A mischievous glint occupied his ocean blue eyes as he leaned over to her side of the couch and grabbed her text book away.

"Hey! I was using that!" she protested with a pout.

Smiling he positioned himself over her and began to suck at her bottom lip, "You know it's really sexy when you pout." He mumbled as he began kissing down to her neck.

She moaned in pleasure when he hit her soft spot, and bucked her hips against him. He groaned in response as she began to fiddle with the hem of his t-shirt. Finally she ripped it over his head. Smiling down at her he attached his lips to her own and she immediately opened her mouth for his to explore.

His hands went to the bottom of her tank top and quickly threw it over her head before attacking her neck, making sure to brand her as his. She moaned as he sucked harshly on the delicate skin, her hands began to undo the button on his jeans, finally releasing it, she unzipped them and began tugging at them. Troy helped her push them down and kicked them off. He quickly undid her own jeans and she raised her hips to help him slide them off.

Standing up, he lifted her off the sofa. She wrapped her legs securely around his waist as he stumbled to the bedroom. Dropping her onto the bed, he came crashing down lightly on top of her.

Their lips met in frantic kisses as their hands roamed, trying to memorize each curve, each muscle, each fiber of the other's body. His hands slid behind her back. She arched it to give him access to her bra, which he swiftly unclasped and tossed to the ground. He left her lips and began to kiss his way down to her cleavage.

He breath hitched in her throat as she felt his mouth cover her right breast. He lightly nipped at her nipple as his hand fondled her left breast before switching. When his work was done there he kissed his way down her stomach, lingering on her belly button ring, as he gently tugged it, causing her to moan loudly.

He looked up from he spot and hooked his fingers into her black panties as he slowly slid them down her legs. Spreading them open he gently licked her already wet folds, smiling when he heard her moan louder than before. Giving them a gently kiss, he moved back up to kiss her. He felt her tugging at his boxers and he helped her pull them down.

He looked her in the eyes and she silently gave him permission to enter her. In one quick movement he was inside her. He quickly realized that she wasn't a virgin, and smiled happy that the pain wouldn't be there for her to deal with.

She pulled his head down and connected their lips as he started a slow pace. Soon he picked up the pace and felt her moan into his mouth. Moving his mouth down he began to kiss her jawbone and neck as moans escaped both of their lips.

He felt her walls clamp down on his member as he drastically picked up the pace until they were both screaming each other's names as they collapsed spent after incredible orgasms. Pulling carefully out of her, he brought her to his side as they both got ready to fall asleep.

"I love you El." Troy whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Wildcat." She smiled as she drifted off to sleep with her head on his chest.

At 6 the alarm went off. They both groaned, they'd had a late night needless to say. Pulling out of Troy's arms, she shut it off and groggily sat up, hitting Troy in his toned stomach. "OWWW" he moaned

"Time to get up Wildcat." She looked over at him, "You should stay home today. You can stay here and sleep. I'll just call Mrs. Shepard and tell her she's got the day off. Gabriella made a move to get out of bed, but was pulled back down by Troy.

"Can't we both stay home?" He asked hopefully.

She giggled, "I have a huge Spanish test and a Calc test today. I need to go in."

Sitting up he rubbed his eyes, "Will you meet me during free period and lunch in the garden?" she nodded yes, "I'm going in today."

Worried filled her eyes, "Are you sure? Cause the school would understand…" his lips on her own silenced her.

"I'm going in. Let's shower and get our clothes out of the living room, otherwise Mrs. Shepard's suspicions will be confirmed." They both laughed as they cleaned up and got ready for school.

30 minutes later Gabriella dropped Troy off at his house so he could get his car. "I'll see you at school Wildcat."

"Love you El." He said, giving her a kiss. He got out of the car just as Coach Bolton came out, she waved to him and pulled out of the driveway towards school. Parking she went inside.

She passed Troy's group as she made her way to her locker. Ryan slightly nodded to her, and she gave him a small smile. Reaching her locker, she opened it and began putting her books away.

"I called you yesterday." Claire came to stand next to her.

"We had a mall date in the afternoon." Taylor hissed

"You ditched us." Claire was really upset by this.

"Sorry, I had to deal with Erin. Mrs. Shepard had to cancel on me." Gabriella explained, at least that part was true.

"Well why didn't you call us back?" Taylor asked just as upset.

Gabriella looked for an excuse, "She called me. Didn't I tell you guys?" Kelsi asked

Gabriella sighed in relief. "Yeah, I talked to Kels." She said, silently thanking Kelsi with her eyes.

"Oh, okay, we're just worried about you." Claire said, the hallway fell silent for 30 seconds, then talking resumed, Troy had come in. Gabriella turned slightly to see him, she fought to keep a smile off her face.

"What's up with you, your eyes, you look happy?" Taylor asked

Kelsi nodded to herself, "Yup, as soon as Bolton enters, oh my God, there's so something up with them. I won't say anything because Taylor and Claire'll have heart attacks in bad ways."

"Hey Troykins." Helen flirted with Troy

"Back off Helen." Troy pushed her arm off of him. He glanced down the hall and caught Ell's eyes, he sent an apology with his own. She sent an understanding look with her eyes.

"Dude, you should be home." Zeke said

"I'm fine." Troy said, slamming his locker shut. Sharpay looked at Troy's eyes, there was content ness in them, "Hmm," she thought, "there's something up with him…" but she brushed it off as the bell rang for homeroom.

When lunch rolled around Troy ditched his friends and headed to the rooftop garden. Gabriella did the same. Troy turned when he heard the door open. He smiled, "Hey baby." He greeted her.

She smiled and walked over, they shared a sweet kiss, as Troy wrapped his arms around her petite waist. "So, um, we forgot to use protection last night." Troy looked down guiltily. In the heat of the moment he had totally blanked on that.

Gabriella smiled up at him, "It's okay, I'm on birth control." She assured him.

He sighed in relief, "Wait? What? Why?" he asked

She giggled at his questions, "You forgot where and how." She joked, he glared at her. Clearing her throat she began an explanation, "Before I came here, in middle school, I had this boyfriend: Jesse. I thought he was really sweet. But then he started getting violent. Throwing things and stuff. So I broke up with him. He started stalking me, and it ended in rape." Gabriella got quiet for a few minutes as Troy clung to her even tighter. "So," she took a deep breath, "I convinced my parents to let me start on birth control out of paranoia that something like that would happen again." Gabriella finished her explanation.

"Is that why you moved here?" Troy whispered

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, that's why we moved here." Troy nodded his understanding and nuzzled his nose against hers. They sat like that, quietly eating their lunches until the bell rang.

"I'll see you during free period Wildcat." Gabriella said as they parted ways before reaching the crowded hallways of East High.

"Bet on it El Bell." Troy leaned down and kissed her before going in the opposite direction.

Kelsi smiled triumphantly from around the corner, "I knew it." She muttered happily.
