Chapter 12 – Nearly Done It
Halfway through Jesse and Gabriella rehearsal, Jesse looked at Gabriella and shouted out ''your wearing his necklace''. Gabriella looked at Jesse confused and the Drama Teacher looked at Gabriella and Jesse and said ''ok, can you two sort this out later, because we have a play to act''.
Jesse looked at Gabriella and Troy and ran out of the theatre. Gabriella walked to the end of the stage and sat down. Troy looked at Gabriella and walked over to her and said ''Gabby, it will be ok, remember when we was back at East High, all of the stuff we faced''.
Gabriella looked at Troy upset and kissed him and said ''yeah, but this isn't East High, the popular kids are meaner, they are even worse than Sharpay used to be''. Troy hugged Gabriella and said ''yeah, but I don't need to go until the play is over so everything is going to be ok, the school thinks I am on holiday''.
Gabriella smiled and got Troy hand and jumped of the stage. Gabriella walked over to the Drama Teacher and said ''is the rehearsal over''. The Drama Teacher smiled and Gabriella and told her ''yeah, Jesse done a runner and he is one of the leads, Gabriella, talk to him because this can't happen everyday''.
As soon as the Drama Teacher said everyday, Troy burst out singing everyday, the song he sang with Gabriella at the talent show in the summer. The Drama Teacher looked at Troy in amazement and said in an excited voice ''you have a great singing voice, shame you didn't come to this school you could be in this play''. Troy smiled at Gabriella and she laughed.
Troy and Gabriella walked home holding hands and walked into Gabriella front room and sat down on the couch and Gabriella kissed Troy and said ''I can't believe that the teacher wanted you to be in the play…but I wish you were''.
Troy looked at Gabriella and kissed her and smiled and told her ''yeah, that would be cool, but I can't. You're a great singer Gabby, I knew you would go far''. Troy and Gabriella were about to kiss when Mrs Montez came in and asked Gabriella to come into the kitchen. Gabriella walked into the kitchen followed by Mrs Montez.
Gabriella sat down on the chair and looked at her Mom and asked ''Mom, what you do you want''. Mrs Montez came and sat down on the chair and said ''I know about what you and Troy did last night''. Gabriella looked at her Mom confused and shouted ''I never did anything last night, Troy just slept in my bed''.
Mrs Montez looked at Gabriella embarrassed and said ''so you never did anything''. Gabriella got up and hugged her Mom and told her ''Mom, me and Troy aren't ready for that; you raised me well, if, when I was ready, I would tell you. And before you ask, Troy isn't forcing me, he isn't ready either, so don't worry''.
Mrs Montez smiled and hugged her and kissed her on the forehead and said ''that's ok then, if Troy wanted to sleep with you again, that would be cool''. Gabriella smiled and walked into the front room and kissed Troy.
The evening came and Gabriella sat down on her bed doing her homework and Troy walked into Gabriella room and laid down next to her and said ''so what homework have you got''. Gabriella smiled and pushed her homework aside and told him ''um, just some English homework, we have to write a story''.
Troy grabbed Gabriella and read it and smiled to himself and said ''you wrote about the first time we met''. Gabriella smiled and kissed Troy and told him ''yeah, it was magical and it was right, something out of a fairytale''.
Troy kissed Gabriella back and smiled and said ''yeah it was, you know you're the best thing that has happened to me''. Gabriella smiled at Troy and kissed him back and told him ''I think I'm ready, I know I am ready''.
Gabriella and Troy woke up the next morning and Gabriella got out of bed and got dressed and Troy sat up in Gabriella bed and said ''good morning''. Gabriella walked over to Troy and kissed him passionately. Troy smiled to himself and Gabriella sat down next to Troy and told him ''I'm sorry about last night, I though I was ready for it, but I'm not''.
Troy smiled at Gabriella and said ''I freaked out too, maybe it because we are too in love''. Gabriella smiled and though that Troy is the perfect boyfriend and never forced her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
