Thanks for the reviews! I love 'em!

When Gabriella, Taylor, and Sharpay knocked on Troy's door, a random person answered the door. The first thought that hit Gabriella was, where's Troy? She had to keep Sharpay away from him tonight and that was going to be hard. The three girls walked into Troy's house. It looked so much smaller to Gabriella now that there are about 150 people. Troy, of course, didn't invite the whole school like the freshman. There were people upstairs, outside, and in pretty much every room. Loud music was playing. People were chatting with other people, eating, and dancing. Gabriella felt so small and shy compared to everyone else, socializing.

"I'm going to go find Chad!" Taylor yelled at her friends so they could hear her.

"Okay!" Sharpay and Gabriella shouted back to her.

"Where's Troy?" Sharpay asked Gabriella.

"Uh... I'm not sure." Gabriella said, looking around to see if she spots him. Sharpay was looking around too.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so hungry! I'm going to go get some pizza." Sharpay told Gabriella and tried to make her way through the crowd, to the food table.

Gabriella was really wondering where Troy was. There were so many people here, it was hard to place a specific person. Gabriella felt so lonely. Everyone was dancing and she was just standing there, awkwardly. She looked to her right. Chad and Taylor were making out. At that moment she thought to herself, 'I really want a boyfriend.' Taylor had one and it sure looked like she was having a great time. Suddenly, she felt a hand touch her arm. She turned around to see Troy. He looked like he just climbed the Grand Canyon. He looked worked out.

"Hey!" She exclaimed, unexpectedly, jumping into his arms.

Troy was surprised. Maybe she really did like him.

"You came!" He said to her after they were done hugging.

"Yeah! I said I would didn't I?" She said.

"Yeah. You want to dance?" He asked her.

"Uh... sure." Gabriella said nervously, hoping Sharpay wouldn't see. As they were dancing, he noticed she was looking around.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing. It's just that I don't want Sharpay to see me dancing with you. Remember I told her that you liked her?"

"Oh yeah. Well in that case, follow me." Troy took Gabriella's hand and led her up the stairs. He took her through the upstairs hallway and onto the balcony. Nobody was on there. It seemed so quiet. It felt like, it was just the two of them in the world. Nothing else mattered.

"Wow. It's so pretty up here." She said, looking up at the stars.

"Yeah. I come out here to think, when I'm not at school in my secret hiding place." He told her. "You know, I've taken you out here before."

"I know, but not at night. The stars just shine so bright. It's almost like your right there and if you reach, you can touch them." She said to him.

"You could be a poet." They both laughed.

"So what are we going to do about Sharpay?" Troy asked her.

"I don't know. She thinks that you like her and I don't want to be the one to tell her." Gabriella said. "She was wondering where you were when we first arrived."

"Yeah. You got us in a pretty bad situation." He said laughing.

"Hey I'm sorry! It's not my fault that I jump to conclus-"

"Chill, it's not a big deal." He said. They smiled at each other.

"Why were you crying anyway?" He asked her.

"Uh..." Gabriella didn't know what to say. "Well..."

"The thing is that I kind of like you and when you said that you liked Sharpay, I got jealous because I thought you meant more than a friend." She muttered.

"Really? I like you too. I've liked you for a while, but I was just really shy in admitting it. I thought you liked me as a friend." Troy admitted.

"I guess things change." Gabriella and Troy looked into each other's eyes. He grabbed her waist and started to kiss her. Gabriella started kissing him back. They've both never felt this way before towards another person.

"Troy! Gabri-" They heard Sharpay say that much but she lost her words. She was standing right in front of the doorway of the balcony, watching them make out.

Gabriella and Troy broke apart at the sound of her voice. Everyone was silent.

"This is how you get a guy for me!" Sharpay yelled at Gabriella.

"What do you mean, get a guy for you?" Troy asked. Gabriella forgot to tell Troy that she was supposed to be trying to get him and Sharpay together.

"Sharpay, this is not what it looks like!" Gabriella said to her even though it was what it looked like.

"I can't believe you would do this to me, Gabriella! I thought we were friends! I trusted you!" Sharpay stormed downstairs.

"Sharpay, wait!" Gabriella screamed to her, starting to go down the stairs.

"Gabriella wait!" Troy pulled her back. "What did she mean, get a guy for her?"

"Well, I kind of promised her, that I would hook you guys up." She said.

"What! You knew I didn't like her, but you did it anyway? That's harsh, Gabriella. I can't believe you would do that." Troy said, walking into his room and slamming the door.

"Uuugghhh!" Gabriella didn't have time to make up with Troy at that moment. She went downstairs. She saw Sharpay run out of Troy's house.

"What's up with her?" Taylor asked Gabriella.

"Uhh... I don't know. Maybe she doesn't feel well." Gabriella said. She didn't want to tell Taylor the whole story about trying to get them together and Sharpay catching her and Troy kissing. Gabriella got her purse and started to walk home, without Taylor. Without saying goodbye to anyone. She started to walk. It was so quiet and lonely. She was crying so softly. What was she supposed to tell Sharpay? What was she supposed to tell Troy? Troy. That was the best feeling she's ever had. Kissing Troy. She should have never agreed to Sharpay to hook them up. Gabriella and Troy would have been boyfriend and girlfriend right now.

When she got home, she didn't even bother to call anyone. She quickly fell asleep in her party clothes.
