Who?

The next day, Gabriella came in the lab humming. Taylor saw her eyes twinkling and looked as if she was dazed. She hadn't seen her like that since Troy and Gabriella broke up.

"Gabriella."

Gabriella look all dreamy in a trance.

"Gabriella?""

She snapped out of it. "Oh, what is it Taylor?"

"I'm guessing you had a good time."

"How do you know?"

"Girl, even a blind man could tell. Plus I can see it in your eyes and smile. I haven't seen you like that since…"

"Oh."

"So, who was the mystery man?"

"Chad hasn't told you?"

"No. All he mentioned was that he played basketball with him," she lied.

"Oh, it was Troy."

"Troy? Gabriella, I'm sorry if you were uncomfortable…" she wanted to see her reaction and if she was mad at her.

"Tay, it's alright. I had a good time, remember?"

Phew. She's not mad at me. "Yeah. Tell me the details."

"Well, it was awkward and uncomfortable at first, but after we sang together, it all went away."

Who knew our plan would work this well? "You sang together? You haven't sung in years!"

"I know. Remember what happened when I first met Troy that I told you about? That happened."

"Gabriella, that's great! Has he called you yet? Have you talked about… you know, what happened?"

Gabriella's expression saddened. "No and no. He's going to probable call later and when he calls, if we want to further this relationship, we are probably going to talk about that.

"Oh. You looked great last night, why wouldn't he want to 'further your relationship'?"

"Yeah. Let's hope he does."

During practice, Troy was dancing around the court with a dreamy face on.

"Hey, man. I guess you had a cool time with this girl. Who was it?"

"Taylor didn't tell you?"

I can't blow my cover. Taylor would kill me. "No. She said something about a top science girl she has been trying to get on a date."

"It was Gabriella."

"Troy… You aren't mad are you?"

"No, it's alright man. I had a good time remember?"

"Yeah, so did you guys talk about… that thing that happened?"

"No, it will probably come up when I call her tonight."

"Don't worry dude, if she likes you enough, she will stay even when you guys talk about it."

"Yeah, I hope she does."

So Phase 1 is complete. Let's just hope our plan will fall through… Chad thought.

So, what'd you guys think? Please review!
