"I-I was scared" Gabriella whispered
"Scared?? I saved your life!" Troy said angrily turning around to face Gabriella. As he did, looking at her face was torture, he desperately wanted to lift her off the ground and kiss her and hug her and tell her everything is going to be okay. But he couldn't do that, so he turned back around. Troy didn't hear a reply from Gabriella but a choke and hiccup from crying, then dying out running footsteps. He turned around to see Gabriella bolt down the hallway with her hand over her mouth. Now he really wanted to run after her.

Let's skip to last period, because nothing really interesting happened during the day…just some sad faces.

Gabriella almost spent the whole day out on the oval under her favorite tree. She knew Troy wouldn't visit her so she had nothing to worry about, except the fact that she was walking home and enormous dark grey clouds were taking over the sky and she had no umbrella. She had been trying to get some sleep even under the tree, but it didn't work. She was exhausted and angry with herself and she just felt alone, again. Like she felt before she met Troy. She looked at her watch, 13 minutes until school ended, and she felt a drop of water land on her arm. "Just fabulous" she said to herself.
Troy was looking down at Gabriella on the oval and saw her stick her hands out, obviously it was raining which is why she was doing it. All of a sudden, a small rumble of thunder was heard and the rain started to fall. He watched as Gabriella quickly stood up and picked her bag off the ground and put it over her shoulder and bolt off the oval until she couldn't be seen anymore. Troy was so deeply concentrated that he jumped out of his skin when the bell went for the end of school. So he solemnly picked up his stuff and set off to his car to drive home…he thought he might see Gabriella on the way to his car, but he didn't.
Gabriella stood at the doors of East High preparing herself to walk home in the rain. "Brace yourself" she said to herself and stepped out into the wet earth. "Eww" she said casually as her body gradually became soaked to the bone. She was about a quarter of the way home. Her feet felt like they were stuck in enormous chunk of cement, her hands were like blocks of ice and her eyelids were so heavy from exhaustion that she might have fallen asleep right there. In fact, she was so tired she almost formed a headache, and there was no doubt she would arrive home with a cold.
She watched in envy as she noticed cars driving by with their windscreen wipers on, probably in a nice warm car feeling very comfortable listening to the Jonas Brothers, "god I love Nick" she said randomly. All of a sudden she had stopped in her tracks, without realizing. What she didn't know was that an approaching car was watching her very carefully.
Troy saw the figure standing still on the footpath. Her hair was like Gabriella's beautiful hair, he had seen that cardigan before and he could never forget the adorable shorts she wore, then he stepped harder on the accelerator when he saw her drop to the ground. He screeched on the brakes as he pulled up next to her and jumped out of the car ignoring the pouring rain. "Gabriella!" he said as he dropped down next to her, "can you hear me??" he said, trying to be heard over the rain, but she didn't respond. He picked her up and ran to his car and opened the door to the back seat and carefully placed her in, closing the door. He ran around the other side and got into the back seat with her. "Gabi?" he whispered as he lowered his head right down to her level. He knew she had just fainted, I mean she looked absolutely exhausted this morning. He snapped his eyes open when he felt her move and mumble something "Gabriella? Can you hear me? Do anything, something if you can hear me" Troy said, and as he did, he felt Gabriella's finger stroke his hand. Even though she wasn't well at the moment, it was such an amazing feeling to feel her gentle touch, even if it was only tiny. "Can you hear me?" he said and he managed to get a nod out of Gabriella.
"Troy?" she mumbled still with her eyes closed.
"I'm here baby, I'm right here. I'm right here" he said. Even though Gabriella was more soaked than Troy, he could see a tear slip out of the side of her eye and he kissed it away, only to hear Gabriella start crying.
"I-I'm sor-sorry Troy" Gabriella said while hiccupping and choking on her tears. She finally opened her eyes only to see Troy was already looking into hers. Troy wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a sitting position and held her close.
"Come on, your coming home with me" he said and helped her into the front seat and drove them home.

When they arrived at Troy's house, he helped Gabriella upstairs. "Come on, you're taking a shower" he said.
"But I-"
"You can borrow some of my clothes" Troy said and Gabriella nodded. Troy rummaged through his closet and pulled out a fresh white shirt and some shorts for her to wear which she gladly took. Gabriella began to walk to the bathroom as she began to undo the buttons on her shirt. She began to get restless and annoyed because her hands were shaking so she couldn't undo the buttons properly. Troy looked over at her to see she was struggling a lot so he walked over and put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. He began to slowly undo the first button and worked his way down. They were both in torture however, Gabriella wanted to just feel Troy against her but she knew he was not happy with her at the moment and Troy was feeling the same. He just couldn't.
"Thank you" Gabriella whispered and walked alone to the bathroom. As much as she missed Troy at that moment, the feeling of the hot water gushing over her body was incredible. "Ahh" she said out loud.
Meanwhile, Troy was lying on his bed tossing a plastic basketball up and down up and down the entire time. Even though he was unconscious for more than a week, he missed her more every day, but now he can't seem to bring himself to even kiss her, no matter how much he wanted to. He knew she was sorry, but he just was too shocked. Troy heard the water flow stop from the bathroom next door, so Gabriella must've finished.
Gabriella slipped on Troy's shirt over her boy short underwear (in profile) which weren't as revealing and was feeling much fresher and comfortable. She exited the bathroom and stood in the hallway near Troy's room, but she didn't want to go in. She could almost sense his current distaste for her. While Troy was waiting in his room, he had already gotten dressed and was just lying shirtless in his tracksuit pants waiting for her to come in. What is she doing? He wondered to himself, so he got up to see if she was still in there but saw her leaning against the wall in his huge t shirt over her boy shorts, looking ultra sexy. And when Gabriella saw him walk out shirtless, she thought he looked major sexy. The attraction between the two was almost unbearable. Troy slowly walked towards Gabriella and stood in front of her and held out his hands so they were almost touching her waist. Gabriella stood up properly from leaning against the wall watching as Troy's lips came closer and closer to her own so they were just touching.
"I missed you" Gabriella whispered very much enjoying the feeling of Troy's lips just touching hers. She didn't see me. She avoided me Troy kept saying in his mind, shut up!! He said to the voices inside his head and slowly pressed his lips against Gabriella's soft mouth. He felt her feminine body press against his; he knew she had been dying to do this. He put his hands on her upper thighs and slowly lifted her off the ground, instinctively; Gabriella wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her to his room, not breaking the kiss once. Troy closed the door with his foot and slowly lowered Gabriella down onto the bed and crawled on top of her as he ran his fingers up her thighs and all the way up to her face where he cupped her cheeks, "but your still mad at me" Gabriella said softly as Troy kissed her cheeks.
"I'm not mad at you. If I ever am, there is no way it could stop me loving you or feeling attracted to you. I couldn't resist you for that long" he said.
"Ok" Gabriella said, "I love you" she said as Troy saw her close her eyes. She was absolutely exhausted. So Troy lifted her up so he could pull the bed sheets back and placed her back down again and pulled them over her. "Next to me" she said. Troy turned his head back around and saw her looking up at him. "Please?" she asked again. Troy smiled and slid in next to her as she snuggled right up next to him, almost as if they were one person. Troy smiled showing his teeth at the feeling of being with her again. "I forgot to tell you, East High is having a carnival next week" she added before she fell asleep.
"Mmmm. Big slide here I come"
