Thanks for all the reviews! I really love reading them!

When Gabriella woke up, she looked around. She was in Troy's guest room. She was still in the clothes she wore the night before. She pushed the covers off of her and walked into the living room. Troy was sitting in his big chair, reading.

He looked up. "Hey."

"Good morning." She smiled.

"How are you?" He asked, putting down his book.

"Good, actually. Really good." She put a hand to her forehead and smiled. "I don't remember sleeping in the guest bed."

"I put you there. We fell asleep out here again." He laughed. "I woke up in the middle of the night and yeah..." Troy trailed off.

"Thanks." She sat down.

"I'm not trying to get rid of you or anything but, do you know when it's okay for you to go back?" Troy asked.

"You know what? You're right. I'm totally a bother. You can take me home now. I'm sure it's safe." Gabriella said.

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. I know it's kind of awkward and a little too soon but, I kind of... I don't know... like you living here, I guess." Troy muttered and looked down, a little embarrassed.

"Really?" Gabriella blushed.

"Well... yeah."

"That's sweet." Gabriella couldn't help but smile.

"Uh, so do you want to go out for breakfast or something?" Troy asked, trying to change the subject. He liked being romantic with girls especially Gabriella but he didn't know what to say. He wasn't really used to having a girlfriend.

"Yeah. Sounds good. Let me go get ready." Gabriella said. She went into her room to change. She got on some new clothes and spent extra time doing her makeup and hair. Even though you don't realize it, everyone spends extra time with their hair and makeup for a boy. You think your just being casual but it's hard not to impress them. Gabriella was happy! Does this mean that they are boyfriend and girlfriend? Gabriella lay on her bed, daydreaming. Last night was so awesome. They kissed. Gabriella wanted to do it again but it might be a little awkward. Did he even like it? Gabriella looked at herself in the mirror. She decided to change shirts. This one was a little too fancy. She pulled off her shirt, only to be in a bra. She looked through all her shirts. Nothing seemed to be right. Suddenly, she heard her door open.

"Are you almost read- Ooookay. I'm going to go now." Troy immediately shut the door after he saw her. Gabriella was still in shock, covering her chest with her shirt. Gabriella quickly put on the closest shirt she could find. She grabbed her purse and walked into the living room.

Troy quickly got up from his seat. "I am so sorry, Gabriella. I had no idea. I really didn't."

"It's okay. It's not your fault. I didn't do any sort of a warning." She giggled.

"Yeah, but I should have knocked."

"Well, we all make mistakes." She smiled.

After breakfast, they went home, read, watched TV, and talked. Later that evening, around 8:30, they took a walk in the park together.

"So..." Gabriella didn't know what to say.

"Uh... you look nice today." Troy muttered. He didn't know what to say either.

"Thanks." She giggled at how hard he was trying.

They walked in silence for a minute.

"Troy?" Gabriella faced him. They had to talk about last night sooner or later.

"Yeah." He looked deep into her eyes.

"Well, what would you like, I don't know, consider us?" Gabriella muttered.

"Uh, I don't know." He smiled.

"Do you like me?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah."

"As more than a friend because we kissed last night, kind of a lot and did it mean something or...?"

"Gabriella, I've really missed you these years. I really have. Was I really your first love?"

"... Yeah. I know we met again like a month or so ago but I've never felt this way towards somebody before. You just make me feel so confident and happy. Was I really yours?"

"In high school, I was a basketball jock. That's all people ever saw me as. After you came, I was like a different person, but in a good way. I never knew I had an interest in singing. Now I love it." Troy said.

"I just don't know what to say." She had tears of happiness in her eyes.

"You don't have to say anything." Troy held her around the waist and bent down to kiss her.

"Gabriella!" A voice came from down the path.

Gabriella broke apart from Troy. "Jerry?"

"Hey babe." Jerry came up and kissed her on the cheek with his arm around her waist.

"Gabriella, who is this?" Troy asked.

"Uh, well it's not what it looks like." Gabriella pulled Jerry's hand off her waist.

"Gabi, who's this guy you were kissing?" Jerry asked.

"Don't call me Gabi. We're over. You're the one that dumped me, remember!" Gabriella pushed Jerry off of her.

"Gabriella?" Troy asked.

"I don't like him. We don't go out anymore." Gabriella said to Troy.

"Well then why does it seem like you do? He just came up and kissed you. I thought we were something, Gabriella. I... almost... thought... I loved you." Troy turned around and walked the opposite direction.

"Troy, wait!" Gabriella screamed but he kept walking.

"C'mon forget him. He didn't mean that much too you, anyway." Jerry grabbed her waist and tried kissing her neck.

"Stop! How could you? I loved Troy and you ruined it, you bastard. If you wanted to get back together, you should have never broken my heart in the first place." Gabriella started crying.

"But I'm here now. I'm here and in love with you. Why aren't you into it, baby?" Jerry pulled her closer.

"Don't talk or touch me! Just leave me alone." Gabriella cried. She walked away, with her arms folded around herself. She walked to Troy's apartment. Hopefully he isn't really mad at her. Since he gave her a key, she opened the door herself. The lights were off in the kitchen and living room.

"Troy?" Gabriella said.

There was no answer.

"Troy? Are you here?" Gabriella asked.

There was still no answer. She stumbled over something on the floor. "Ouch." She muttered.

She knocked on Troy's room. Nobody answered. She was starting to get kind of worried. She decided to open the door. "Troy?"

"What?" Troy was on his bed, with his hands over his face. You could tell he had been crying.

"Jerry is nobody. He's not my boyfriend." Gabriella said in her sweetest voice.

"He's not your boyfriend, so he comes up to you and practically makes out with you? Gabriella, I really liked you but I didn't know you were like this. I'm sorry but I think you should go." Troy looked up at her. His eyes were red.

"Oh, Troy." She sat next to him. "I'm so sorry it hurt you this bad."

"I said, I think you should leave." He muttered.

"You don't mean that, do you? Where am I supposed to go?"

"Gabriella, I can't be with you. I know we weren't going out but it just hurts so so much to see him interact with you like that." Troy said.

"Yeah, but did you see me interact with him like that?" Gabriella asked.

"I'm sorry..."

Gabriella's tears were pouring out. "I'm sorry too."

When Gabriella got home, she threw her keys and bag on the table. She got in her pajamas and slipped into bed, still crying. She wouldn't be able to fall asleep if she were still crying. She noticed how cold it was. She hasn't been here for a while. She was so used to sleeping in Troy's guest bed. She almost missed the bed, too. She suddenly got startled from a noise at the door. It was like somebody trying to open the door. Gabriella ignored. It was probably her imagination. The sound of the chain and lock on the door was getting louder and louder...
