Hi everyone! Well, I'm very sad because I've decided this is my last chapter. I've run out of ideas and it seems like an okay place to stop. If any of you would like to see it keep going, please give me ideas and I could possibly go on. Also, please check out my new story, 'Something More.'

The next morning, Gabriella awoke to a bright sunny room. She opened her eyes and looked around. There was an arm caressing her side. It was Troy's. She was resting on his chest and he was still sleeping. Gabriella smiled and cuddled up to him. Just then, he woke up as well. He looked down at her, lying on him.

"Hey," he smiled.

"Good morning."

"Did you sleep good," He asked.

"Perfect," Gabriella smiled. "What about you?"

"Nice."

"That's good. Your bed is so comfy," She giggled.

"Yeah..." He trailed off. "Gabriella?"

"Yeah?" She looked up in his eyes.

"We never really finished that conversation at the park."

"What conversation?"

"You know. About us," Troy said.

"Oh yeah. So... what about us do you want to know?"

"Well, what are we?"

"I don't know. Depends on how we feel about each other," Gabriella smiled.

"Okay. You first."

"No, you first." She pushed his shoulder.

"Um, well, I like you... a lot. Maybe even love you. I don't know, Gabriella. This feels awkward," Troy leaned back in bed and put his hands on his head. He wanted to tell her how he felt, truly, but was just nervous. How would she react? I mean, he loved her more than anything in the world, but what if she just liked him as a pet dog or something. That's not the reaction he would want.

"It's okay. I totally feel the same," she admitted.

Troy shot back up. "You do?"

"Yeah. It's like we have this connection between us. It's almost like we're meant to be. We met at the ski lodge and then we met at school. We split apart but then fate happened and we met on the internet. It's weird..." She paused. "But I like it."

"I'm so glad you feel the same," Troy let out a big sigh.

"Me too," she laughed. "So what? Are we like... going out?"

"Uuuhh, if you want to."

"You don't sound like you want to. Do you not want to? We can just stay friends, if you want," Gabriella looked down, with a sad expression on her face.

"No. That's not how it was supposed to sound. Gabriella, I said I love you, I've made you dinner, bought you a bracelet, and slept with you last night," They both laughed. "I think you know what I mean. But, of course I want to go out with you. There's nobody I'd rather spend my life with."

"Troy, your not proposing are you?"

"No," he laughed. "That can wait. Let's start from where we were in high school."

"Sounds good," she smiled. Troy leaned over and started passionately kissing her. Troy pulled the covers up and they started making out. Suddenly, Rachael barged in. What she saw was, Troy and Gabriella's heads kissing, and covers over the rest of their bodies.

"Wow! Okay, bad timing!" Rachael said loud enough to break them apart.

"Rachael!" Gabriella shouted. "Can you please excuse us?"

"Okay, I'll leave, but just to let you know, I think that Troy was hitting on you."

"You think!" Gabriella shouted. "And he didn't hit on me. We hit on each other!" Gabriella pushed her out of the room and shut the door.

"I am so sorry," she laughed.

"No problem. Wait, did she think that we were..."

"I think so. We'll straiten her out later. Anyway..." Gabriella crawled back in bed. "Where were we?"

For lunch, Troy, Gabriella, and Rachael went out to lunch at the cafe'.

"So you guys really didn't do it?" Rachael asked.

"Yes!" Troy and Gabriella told her for the tenth time.

"Okay. It just looked like it. Wait, are you sure you're not lying?"

"Yes, Rachael, we're sure," Gabriella slammed her ice tea on the table.

"Well you sure were wrong about Troy not liking you like that. Man, you guys were at."

"You thought I didn't like you?" Troy asked.

"Well, you said it was better we were just friends. I mean, after Jerry and all..." Gabriella looked down at her drink.

"No. I was crazy about you this whole time. I thought that maybe you thought that

I was rushing it. I mean, I practically just saved your life, so..."

"Well it kind of would have been a good time, in my opinion," Gabriella said.

"Okay... so, let's not get into this little mushy love-thing, okay? Who wants some bread?" Rachael asked, trying to break their conversation.

Later that day, the three were hanging out at Troy's house, chatting. Troy was reading and Gabriella and Rachael were talking about her vacation to Oregon. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Gabriella couldn't help but feel slightly scared. Troy saw her expression.

"I'll get it," he got up and opened the door.

"Man, I'm depressed," Chad bursted through and plopped on Troy's couch. The girls were staring at him. "Dude, you got two at once. That's hot. Wait, Gabriella?" Chad asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"Oh. Well, you seem to be over here a lot."

"It's a long story," Troy said.

"What's been going on with you two lately?" Chad asked.

"We're dating." Troy said. Gabriella nodded once more.

"What? Are you serious? This is just too weird. Troy and Gabriella again. You guys make a good couple. Troy, you know what's weird, is that for once, you have a girlfriend and I don't."

"Yeah. Well, your girls are stupid cheerleaders. Always have been," Troy sat on the arm of Gabriella's chair and put his hand on her back.

"So why are you depressed, Chad," Gabriella asked.

"It's Tiffany. I miss her like hell. We've been apart for almost a week but it feels like a year. I've just been moping on the couch, eating and drinking. I managed to get dressed and come over here. I tried calling to get back together but she refuses. She said I was a jerk. I don't know, Troy, maybe I am."

"No, your not. You don't need her. She was mean and rude. I personally hated her."

"What? This whole time, you hated Tiffany?"

"Yeah. She was so annoying and stuff."

Chad sighed and leaned back.

"I have an idea," Troy said.

"There, do you feel better," Troy said as Chad hit the enter button.

"I guess. Do you think I'll meet someone good this time?" Chad asked.

"Maybe. Just wait and see. Look at how good the website paired me up," Troy said and kissed Gabriella on the cheek.

"Ha. Almost too good," Chad smirked.

That night, Rachael stayed in the guest room and Troy and Gabriella stayed in his room.

"So, what do you think your going to do?" Troy asked.

"I don't know. Frankly, I don't want to go back home at all and I don't have much money, Troy. I guess, I never really thought about what I was going to do. When I'm with you, all my worries go away," she smiled and kissed him.

"Well, you're always welcome here."

"I know."

The next morning, Troy and Gabriella awoke to his phone ringing. Gabriella moved from Troy, so he could answer his phone.

"Hello?" Troy answered.

"Hey, dude." Chad said.

"Man, I'm sleeping."

"With Gabriella?"

"That's none of your business," Troy shifted his weight to his other elbow. Gabriella looked at him like, 'What are you guys talking about?'

"Yes it is. We're buddies."

"Whatever. So why are you calling?"

"I wanted to tell you that I've got a match." Chad said. Troy could picture Chad smiling when he said that.

"Really? What's her name," Troy asked.

"It says Taylor."

Well, there you go. Sorry it was kind of a cliffhanger ending, but I think you know whom Taylor is and what's going to happen with them. I had planned that ending part since like the first chapter. You all were asking to put Chad and Taylor together but I really wanted to do the ending like that. Anyway, while I was writing, I decided that I'm probably going to do a sequel instead of keep going with the story. It'll come out pretty soon. Also, please please please please read my new story, 'Something More.' It's obviously troyella so read and review it. Now review this story! I just want to thank everyone for reading this story.
