To Kiss Or Not To Kiss
Chapter 14: The Secrets Are Out
"Is there any chance you'd want to be my girl?" When Troy asked this, all Gabriella could do was stare at him in shock. She was not expecting Troy to ask her that question. She wasn't even expecting Troy to be there!
"Troy, you didn't have to get me anything."
"But I wanted to. I wanted to show that you're special to me. And you're not just another ordinary girl. So what do you say?"
Gabriella thinks for a while and then finally says, "I'll think about it."
"Oh. Okay. I understand." Then Troy bowed his head and took a seat, but Gabriella pulled him back up.
"It was a joke! Yes I would love to be your girl!"
"Really? Whoa, for a second I thought you were gonna say no." They both laughed. After they laughed, Troy put the locket around Gabriella's neck.
"Oh, and there's something I want to give you." Gabriella said.
"How could you have something for me already, when you didn't even know I was gonna be here?"
"Oh, don't worry. I didn't have to wrap it. And I had this gift ready for the past seven months."
With that, Gabriella stood really close to Troy and then looked up. And then, as if on cue, they slowly but surely leaned in for the kiss. As they got closer and closer, the tension built. They were about to kiss, but suddenly…
"Wait." Troy backed away.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't think I'm ready for this." Troy said.
"Oh, okay. I totally understand."
"Thanks." Troy said. Gabriella sat down. But after ten seconds, Troy pulled her right back up again and then kissed her, smack-dab on the lips without even hesitating. They kissed for what seemed like forever. And then they pulled away. They didn't want to, but they did. Then Troy spoke.
"Gotcha. See you're not the only one who could crack jokes." They laughed for a while.
"I hope you liked my gift."
"Are you kidding? Why would I like it?" Troy asked. Gabriella was confused. He didn't like it? She thought.
"If I already love it?" Troy continued. With that, Gabriella smiled. They kissed again.
Meanwhile, the gang saw everything. From the moment when Troy apologized, to the moment of their second kiss. They were videotaping it so if Gabriella and Troy ever got married, they could see how their first real kiss went and maybe show it to their kids. They were now taking pictures, and suddenly they started to clap.
Then everybody in the room started to clap and look at Troy and Gabriella. When Troy and Gabriella heard them, they pulled away and looked at everybody.
"What's going on?" They both asked. And then the gang came into view.
"Troy, Gabriella, congratulations." Rayner said.
"What?" Gabriella blurted out.
"We planned it. Actually, Sharpay planned it. But we helped!" Chad said.
"Planned what?" Troy asked.
"This whole thing! The party, you guys meeting, your kiss, and everything else!" Zeke said.
"What do you mean you planned it?" Both Troy and Gabriella asked.
So the gang, Troy and Gabriella sat on the big couch in the living room and they explained everything from when Sharpay and the gang first came, all the way to them kissing.
"Wait. So everybody in this house knew what was going on except for us?" Troy asked.
"Yeah." Ryan answered.
"So, Rayner, you didn't really like me?"
"No. I mean, yes. I mean, I do like you, but just as a friend."
"You and Troy are both in love with each other but were too afraid to tell each other. So we came to take it into our own hands and make you say you love each other." Kelsie said.
"How long have you liked me?" Gabriella asked Troy.
"Since he first heard you sing." Chad, Jason, Ryan, and Zeke said all together.
"What about you? How long have you liked me?" Troy asked Gabriella.
"Since you serenaded her from her balcony." Kelsie, Sharpay, and Taylor said all together.
"How'd you guys know I serenaded her?"
"Gabriella told us." Taylor said.
"She tells us everything." Kelsie said.
"Like that time she told us you guys got your groove on the other night before she moved. If you know what I mean." Sharpay said.
And then Troy looked at Gabriella. He confused. "What? When? But we… and she's not… did we… Gabriella… are you pregnant?" Troy was stuttering now.
"Actually Troy… I've been meaning to tell you that…" Gabriella started.
"WHAT?" Troy shouted. "YOU'RE PREGNANT?" Troy shouted again. And then everybody looked at Gabriella.
"Who's the father?" Jason asked.
"Troy." Gabriella answered.
"What? But we never did anything!" Troy protested.
"Yet. But you know he wants to." Chad whispered to Zeke. Zeke smiled and nodded.
"Or did we? Was I drunk?" Troy asked again.
Gabriella couldn't take it anymore. It was too hysterical! She took out her camera phone and took a couple pictures of Troy with a shocked and confused look on his face and then took a couple pictures of everybody with the same look. And then she began to laugh. Everybody stared at her.
"What's so funny?" Zeke asked.
"I was just kidding! I'm not pregnant! Troy you weren't drunk! I never did anything with Troy! I just wanted to see the look on your faces!" With that, she continued to laugh.
"So, you're serious. All of what you said was just a joke?" Ryan asked.
"Of course it was! You really thought I was pregnant?"
"Oh. I was about to say." Troy said.
"Unless… you two really did get your groove on." Chad said.
"CHAD!" Both Troy and Gabriella shouted.
"But you guys should've seen the look on your faces!" Gabriella said and then took out her camera phone again. "I could show them to you." When everybody took a look at their own pictures, they burst out laughing.
When everybody stopped laughing, both Gabriella and Troy turned to Sharpay.
"Why would you do this for us? You usually aren't nice." Troy asked.
"Hey! I can be nice!"
"No, really, why?" Gabriella said.
Sharpay sighed. "Okay. You caught me. I just really wanted to prove to Ryan and daddy that I could be nice too. And not just care about myself." She looked at Ryan, and he raised his eyebrows.
"And daddy promised me a gift if I did something life changing for someone."
"And you did a good job at it, baby sis. I'm proud of you." Ryan said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Baby sis? I thought you guys were twins? Jason asked.
"We are. But I'm older." Ryan said.
"By seven minutes." Sharpay said.
"Okay, enough small talk!" Rayner shouted. "Let's get this party restarted!" With that said, they continued on with the party.
The next day, it was Saturday. Two more days until Gabriella and Troy would go back to New Jersey. Gabriella woke to the sound of her cell phone ringing.
"Who is calling me this early in the morning?" Gabriella shouted into the phone.
"Um… first off, it's nine o'clock, and second off, it's V." Vince said at the other end of the line.
"Oh, sorry V. I'm just so tired from last night's party and I don't like being woken up."
"It's quite all right. Oh, I have great news for you!"
"What?"
"I'll tell you later. Meet me here on the set. And tell the rest of the gang to meet here too."
"Okay. But this better be good because we are all beat from last night."
"Oh, it is. Trust me. See you later! Bye!" With that, Vince hung up. Gabriella began calling everyone and told them that they needed to meet on the set. Most of them were still sleeping but some of them are already awake.
An hour later, the gang arrived in a limo and they filed out to the set. When they got there, Rayner and the rest of the cast was already there.
"Okay, so what's the big news that you had to get everybody here?" Gabriella asked V.
"Sharpay's dad told the producer of 'A Teenager's Life' about her plan to get you and Troy together."
"And, how's that important?" Ryan asked.
"Wait, I'm not finished. He said that they think it would be a great idea for a movie. So, he wants you guys here for an interview about your lives when Gabriella first moved to Albuquerque and first auditioned for the Twinkle Towne musical."
"So you're saying, that what just happened in the past couple of months, they're going to turn it into a movie?" Zeke asked.
"That's right."
"And we get to be in it?" Kelsie asked.
"If you want to. If you don't, we'll find someone else to fill your part."
"This is so cool!" Chad said.
"Filming starts in October." (A/N: If you guys haven't noticed, it was July, it was early in the summer)
"What about the interview?" Sharpay asked.
"Oh, yes. The producer is here right now."
Just then, the producer came out of the shadows and talked to them about how Troy and Gabriella first met and how they got to go to the same school and when they moved and Sharpay's plan. And everything else up until last night.
"But what about the characters?" Taylor asked.
"Oh, you guys could tell everybody in your school that they can be extras. And Gabriella and Troy could tell some of the people in New Jersey that they're part of the cast."
"Cool!" Taylor said.
"Then, it's settled? When you get back to your homes, you will tell your classmates about it?"
A series of "Yeahs" and "Sure wills" echoed on the set.
"Okay. Remember, filming starts in October so you guys could have a chance to ask your classmates and teachers if they would like to be part of it. We need to make it as believable as possible."
The next day, it was Sunday. Tomorrow, Gabriella and Troy are going to go back to New Jersey.
Everybody came for Sunday brunch. Even the cast of the show. Even though fans bombarded them for autographs, they still had a fun time. Even Sharpay and Ryan got asked for autographs since their dad was rich and they have appeared on many commercials and guest-starred on many TV shows. They also appeared in teen fashion magazines.
The next day, Troy and Gabriella had to leave for New Jersey. So when they reached the airport, everybody was crying, even the cast. Even though they were gonna see each other in three months.
A few months later, Gabriella and Troy were back at school. When they got there, they immediately started putting ads on the bulletin boards that if they want to be part of the movie that they need to sign up. They even put up an ad asking the NJ versions of the gang if they wanted to have a part it the movie with speaking parts. Even Sheila.
It's different at school now. A lot of the people recognize Gabriella from her role on TV and are asking for her autograph. It's like everyday she sees a new face that asks for an autograph. Eventually, they started taking pictures.
Troy however became known as the "lucky guy" because he's dating a TV star. But Troy thought he was lucky for a totally different reason. He thought that he was lucky because he was dating the perfect girl. And after all, you only meet the perfect girl once in your life.Troy remembered the words of the old man from the souvenir shop.
