A/N:it's finally here. High School Musical 2 starts in less than a half an hour ::squeals:: and I can't wait. As a special treat I'm updating this story and Taking Over Me. Each story has a small reference to HSM2. Besides the song there is a small reference, if you can't spot it shame on you.
You Are The Music In Me
You know the words
'Once upon a time'
Make you listen
There's a reason
When you dream there's a chance you'll fine
A little laughter or a happy ever after
A stream of light shone on Troy's face and into the lids of his eyes, stirring him from his sleep. He opened his blue eyes slowly and took in Gabriella's form in front of him. He smiled softly and breathed in her scent.
I wish I could wake up like this forever he thought as he watched her sleep. He stroked her face softly, trying not to wake her up. Instead she snuggled in closer to him, increasing her grip on him. A soft chuckle erupted in his throat and he kissed her forehead.
He could feel her legs wrap securely around his and he ran a hand through her hair. His mind set on a debate.
To wake her or not to wake her...that is the question he decided on his better judgement and awoke her with a soft kiss to her lips. She mumbled incoherently and opened her chocolate eyes.
"Morning." she said and he smiled.
"Morning Gabs."
"What time is it?" she said trying to turn around to face the clock.
"Noon."
"Noon?" she said with wide eyes. And looked at the clock, making sure he was correct on the time.
"Yeah."
"I never sleep that late."
"Well we were out late." she nodded and settled back into her spot next to him. The two sat in a comfortable silence until Troy leaned over and kissed her. Their make out session was ruined when her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered, trying not to sound annoyed.
"Hey Gabriella it's Allie."
"Oh hey Allie."
"Was I interrupting something? Cause you sounded pissed off."
"No. It's fine. So what's up?"
"Just wanted to see if you wanted to go to the mall."
"Sure why not."
"Okay. Oh and have you seen Troy?"
"Uh...not since last night." she lied. "Why?"
"His parents are looking for him. They called every person he knew. They called Jason an hour ago and they sounded pretty pissed from what Jason told me."
"Well if I see him, I'll tell him."
"Okay then I'll see you in an hour?"
"Yea. Bye."
"Bye." she hung up the phone and Troy laid his head on her chest.
"Baby."
"Hm?"
"You should get home."
"Why?"
"Your parents have been calling everyone you know and Allie says they're pretty pissed."
"Shit. I knew I was forgetting something." he lifted his head and pecked her lips. "Bye." he said before making his way out of her room through her balcony.
"Later." she watched him leave before getting up to get changed.
Your harmony
To the melody
Is echoing inside my head
A single voice
Above the noise
And like a common thread
Hmm, you're pullin' me
Gabriella and Allie walked through the mall, enjoying a little girls time together. They spotted Kelsi walking out of a store ahead of them.
"Kelsi." Gabriella yelled and the shorter girl turned around. She smiled and waited for the two girls to get to her.
"Hey girls."
"What's up Kelsi?" Allie asked.
"Shopping with Sharpay except I have no idea where she went." Allie cringed at Sharpay's name and Kelsi sent her an apologetic look.
"As long as the witch is away from me, I'm fine."
"She's not all that bad." Gabriella said.
"You don't know what she's done."
"What has she done?"
"Back in freshmen year Sharpay used to be my best friend."
"What happened?"
"We both liked the same boy and got into a fight over him. Sharpay let a very important secret slip and that was bye-bye to our friendship. I never forgave her for it and I never will."
"I don't know why you won't" the three girls turned around and there stood Sharpay with Ryan by her side. Ryan walked over to Kelsi, wrapping his arms around her.
"Well speak of the devil herself." Allie said sarcastically.
"Allie that was freshmen year. I said I was sorry."
"Sorry's not good enough Shar. I told you not to tell anyone and you told everyone."
"It wasn't on purpose. I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose. You're my best friend. It was a mistake and I apologized for it. What else can I do to get you to forgive me?" Allie looked at Sharpay, guiltily. She never wanted to lose Sharpay as a friend but her pride had made her. "So will you, after three, years forgive me?" Allie smiled softly and nodded.
"I forgive you Sharpie." Sharpay gasped then giggled and embraced her best friend.
"No one else can call me Sharpie but Allie. You got that?" she barked looking at the others. They nodded and she smiled. "Okay then. Let's get shopping."
After hours upon hours of shopping, the four girls and Ryan finally went home. Gabriella went up to her room, only to find Troy lying face up on her bed with his eyes closed. She smiled and tiptoed towards him. She gently lied on top of him and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey." he said, smiling down at her.
"Hey. What are you doing here?"
"Came to see you. What else?" she smiled and nestled her face into his chest. His ran his fingers and they rested in the comfortable silence. Gabriella wanted nothing more for this moment to last forever. To stay in his arms for all eternity was the sweetest sin but she didn't care. She loved him with all of her heart and she could never love anyone else like she loved him.
These same thoughts ran through Troy's mind. Finding that their current resting was the only place he'd rather be.
"Troy what did your parents say?"
"Not to do it again and that I'm grounded for a week."
"Aww my poor baby." she said and kissed his lips. This was where she belonged, in his arms and no place else. This was where he belonged, with her, loving her, having all of her.
"Marry me." he whispered and her eyes widened.
"A-Are you serious Troy?"
"Of course I am. I love you and what better way then to spend the rest of my life with you."
"I don't know what to say."
"Then just say yes." she smiled and nodded.
"Yes Troy. I'll marry you." he smiled and kissed her with passion he had never kissed her with before. "But not until after graduation okay." he nodded and she placed her lips back on his. This is where his life was heading. He was going to spend the rest of his life with the one girl that made him feel happier than any basketball game.
When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
