Chapter 1: As She Stood There

After the callbacks were over and Troy and Gabriella got the lead roles, they began to be closer than ever.

Troy began, " Today, today I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend". Chad listened to Troy speak about Gabriella and helped him figure out what to say. Chad and Taylor had already been going out for a couple of weeks. As Troy was talking to Chad, Taylor was talking to Gabriella.

As Troy was walking to Gabriella's house, he stopped and thought about what he was doing. Eventully he got over it and decided that he was going to do it no matter what. He stopped at Gabriella's house and knocked softly. She came to the door shortly, and let him in. On the walk up to her room. He thought to himself, " I'll ask her straight up".

They entered her room and she when to her window and opened it. As she stood there in beauty, he asked her. " Gabriella, we have been through alot together and I would like you to be my girlfriend." Her heart skipped a beat and then she quickly said, "yes". The school year was almost over and they were happy about getting through their sophmore year ok, except for Ryan and Sharpay's little stunt. It was time for Troy to return home. He kissed her lips softly and hugged her goodbye.

The next day at school they tried to keep their relashonship quiet, to avoid extra attention. They already had more than Gabriella could take. Chad kept his mouth closed for the school day. He almost slipped up but he caught himself befor he said anything.Troy felt better than he'd felt in years. He loved Gabriella so much.

Every night he would go over to her house and talk and lay down together and talk about the day.

They would kiss each other and feel a little tingle each time. They knew they would half to tell his dad eventully. But he didn't worry about it. Soon his grades went down and his basketball was not the same.

He was always at Gabriellas' or " At Chad's working on free throws". His dad figured out that somthin was going on and he wanted to stop it.

One day followed Troy and he lead his dad to Gabriella's house. His dad didn't mind because he knew that Troy and Gabriella were friends. Troy knocked on the door as always and Gabriella met him at the door.

Then he kissed her and walked inside. Troy's dad was furious. He didn't expect Troy to lie to him. Even though he was going out with Gabriella. He kept this to himself untill Troy came home. Troy walked in the door and closed it softly not wake his mother or father.

He tip-toed into the livingroom and saw his dad. He said hello and his dad did not respond untill he left the room. "Troy", he said. " How was Gabriella's house", he said with anger in his eyes. Troy turned around and asked him what he said. His dad repeated the question and Troy stood there stunned in surprize. His father said think about it tonight and you better give me a very, very good reason why you lied to me. Troy went up to his room and went to sleep.

The next morning he got up and to his luck his dad was gone and his mom was at work. He got dressed and spent the day talking to Gabriella about what his dad said. Gabriella had no clue what to say so she just listened. A couple of minutes later Gabriella's mom came rushing in. " Chad and Taylor got in a car accident on the freeway!"
