This'll probably be the last chapter. If everyone REALLY wants me to, I might write a sequel.

"Gabriella! Gabriella, where are you?" Troy shouted as he ran down the halls. "Come on, Gabriella! It's me!"

Soon he had searched the whole school over at least twice. But with no luck. Finally, there was only one place left to look.

"Gabriella, are you up here?" Troy asked walking up the stairs onto the roof.

"Yeah. I'm here." Gabriella responded in a quiet tone.

"Look, I'm sorry about what my dad said. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Or who." Troy said after he sat down on the bench beside Gabriella.

"Well it doesn't matter now. Cause you can't sing anymore." Gabriella said sadly.

"I don't care about the singing! All I care about is you. Infact, without you I would have never sang in the first place." Troy said putting an arm around Gabriella.

"You mean that?" Gabriella asked smiling.

"With all my heart." Troy said smiling back. Then he leaned down and kissed her. Only this time it seemed a thousand times better.

Before they knew it Troy was laying down on the bench and Gabriella was laying on top of him kissing him passionately. When they finally broke apart they noticed that the sun was almost down.

"I guess we need to start heading home." Gabriella said as they sat up.

"I'll walk you." Troy said getting up then offering a hand to Gabriella.

As she took it he pulled a repeat of earlier. He pulled justhard enough for her face to come to his. Then just as before, they both leaned into a soft, sweet kiss.

"Ok, now I really wish we had left sooner." Gabriella said shivering as they walked down the almost dark road.

"Here. Does this help?" Troy said wrapping his arms around Gabriella.

"Absolutely." Gabriella grinned.

As they came up to the front of Gabriella's house Troy reluctantly let go of her.

"Wish me luck. My dad'll probably chew my head off as soon as I walk through the door." Troy said as they walked to the door.

"Sorry for keeping you out so long." Gabriella said.

"I wasn't you fault. And besides, it was worth it." Troy said pulling her in for one last kiss.

"Goodnight." Gabriella said softly when they came up for air.

"Good night, Gabs." Troy said hugging her. When they were finally done Troy started walking back down the street. As he did he hoped that some luck from Gabriella rubbed off on him
