Thanks for reviewing...it means sooo much to me...

New Signs of Flirting

bballtroy: Gabriella, do you know about the annual dance that University of New Mexico will have two weeks from now?

sci4evergabi: I don't know much, but Taylor probably does. Let me invite her.

sci4evergabi has invited chaylorinluv

chaylorinluv has invited bballchad

sci4evergabi: Taylor! I only invited you!

chaylorinluv: Girl, if you're gonna invite me, I'm definitely gonna invite Chad.

bballchad: Do you not want me here?

bballtroy: Dude, you have the same username as mine.

bballchad: Whatever, I thought of it first.

chaylorinluv: Um...about the dance? That's going to be held May 12 and all couples must dress in ballgowns.

sci4evergabi: So that's the reason why you bought that spaghetti strap one yesterday!

bballchad: smacks head

bballtroy: Well...I'm definitely going to take my Gabi.

sci4evergabi: Aww...you're so sweet!

bballchad: Well of course, I mean, whenever you guys stare at each other, you jump on each other so fast that I never see Gabriella with the same outfit on over 2 hours.

chaylorinluv: lol

bballtroy: Hey! Well...me and Gabriella don't lock ourselves in the bedroom and make up stupid excuses when it's so obvious that your shirts are put on backwards!

bballchad: They were?

sci4evergabi: Get a mirror smart one.

chaylorinluv: Hey,did you hear that Kelsi broke up with Jason?

bballtroy: WHAT?

chaylorinluv: Yeah and like Jason ran to Sharpay.

bballchad: They have definitely gone beyond "just friends" now. They have hugged, kissed, tongued, felt the reproductive organs of each other, and...probably are right now going through home run.

sci4evergabi: That...is sick.

chaylorinluv: You don't have to put it so bluntly hon.

bballtroy: Whoa...where was I in this?

bballchad: You were doing the same (minus the home run) to Gabriella?

sci4evergabi: lol

bballtroy: ANYWAY, I am going to have a talk with Jason.

chaylorinluv: I'll talk with Kelsi

bballchad: DON'T!

chaylorinluv: Why not?

sci4evergabi: Kelsi told me that you scare the hell out of her a lot.

chaylorinluv: How?

bballtroy: By being so loud.

sci4evergabi: That you're much more experienced in sex than she is.

bballchad: No kidding.

bballtroy: Sick man. Does she like...point to you where to...do it?

chaylorinluv: Talk about yourself! Sicko! No way Troy! And...I'm not mean or anything...do I really scare her?

bballchad: You scare me.

sci4evergabi, bballtroy: lol!

chaylorinluv: Wow...but she always smiles at me!

sci4evergabi: She does that since you smile back and it's rude for one not to display the same behavior.

bballchad: My mind is confused.

bballtroy: Dude...you're always confused.

Troy look at their IM conversation. His mouth was sagging from all the surprises. Man...love did conquer him over the few weeks...

He stared outside his window. The car keys were right by him...and he knew Gabriella was free on Friday nights...

Smiling to himself, he took the keys and threw on a nice shirt and khakis.

"Oh...it's you! I thought it would be Jessica Manning again...she's the girl next door...so annoying!" Gabriella grinned at her boyfriend.

Troy ran his fingers through his hair. Our first practical date and we're near ready to lose our virginities...my life is messed-up.

"I...was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with me?" Troy winced as Gabriella's face faltered with reluctance.

"Um...sure!" She beamed as she allowed Troy to go inside her dorm. Her bedroom was neat and tidy just like her stack of papers that she always had to complete for her professor. Troy sat on her bed as he heard Gabriella mutter in her closet, "Where's that tank I bought yesterday?"

Standing back up, she turned and faced Troy. "This okay?" she pointed to her tan skirt.

"It's beautiful. Like you." Troy came up to her and hugged her tight.

After a few minutes, they still clung to each other.

"I'm so in love with you. You are there for me every single step of my life. I would never..." Gabriella became to feel a rush of tears come by.

"...leave you." With that, Troy put his lips to her. This wasn't just any kiss; it was the symbol of their caring and love for each other.

"Troy, that was amazing, but we're going to be late for the movie!" Gabriella nervously exclaimed.

Troy checked his watch. "Whoa...let's go."

When they cozily were seated in the back of the theater, Gabriella leaned over towards Troy.

"What movie, might I ask, are we watching?"

Troy laughed. "Can't believe I forgot to tell you. I hope you're okay with comedies...'American Dreamz'."

Gabriella smiled. "I love Hugh Grant!"

"What about me?" Troy put on his puppy-dog eyes.

"Oh, I love you more!" she kissed him again.

When the movie finally started, Troy pulled apart. "You gotta see Dennis Quaid's acting. Perfecto!"

After the movie, when Troy drove themback to their dorms,(much more safer than Taylor's car-wrecking skills) he pulled the key out and sat there in the car with Gabriella.

"If someone had told me last year, around this time, that I would be here, backwith my Gabi, holding hands, and deep in love-"

"I'd say that guy was a total maniac!" Gabriella giggled.

Troy laughed. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"Not as much as this?" Troy pecked her on the lips.

"Oh, much more!" Gabriella kissed him longer.

"What is this? The new style of flirting?" Troy tongued with her.

Tongues fighting for control, Gabriella ran out of breath and panted.

"Maybe, but this decides all. Play me my favorite game?" Gabriella looked into Troy's eyes.

"Sure, but let me answer this first."He started to snog the living daylights out of Gabriella.

Pushing each other around more control, Gabriella landed on the bed.

"Now?"

"Okay. What's the game?" Troy asked playfully.

"Strip poker."

I was kind of bored of the whole kissy-kissy thing...so read on!
