I don't own any of the songs featured in this chapter. Although I do like them…Mariah Carey's music is too 80's though…I still like it. I also own no one in this story except Jack…not including any char. Later to come.
Troy's POV
I met up with Gabriella at her locker after school. Jack was watching us like a hawk until we got to the parking lot. I let Gabriella in the car and drove off, leaving Jack in the distance. "So what do you want to listen to?" I asked tuning the radio. The song we belong together by Mariah Carey came on the radio. I tensed at her words and changed it. Then Where'd you go by Fort Minor played and I changed it too. Gabriella laughed to herself not knowing I could hear her. Finally a suitable song came on, I write sins not Tragedies by Panic! At the Disco. "Ooh I like this one" she said humming along.
"Oh hi Troy. I didn't know Gabriella was coming over…" my mom, Karen said. "Oh sorry forgot to tell you…we'll be in my room" I said pulling Gabriella up the stairs. Once safely in my room I started looking for Pac Man. "Oh here it is"
One Hour Later…Gabriella's POV
"Troy! Stop it! I want to win!" I said with my eyes glued to the screen. "Doesn't really look like it now" (Ok this is like a not real version of Pac Man It is one that I made up where who ever collects the most little white dots wins) Troy said playfully. "Yes! I am going to win!" I shrieked. Troy grabbed my controller and made me get eaten by Clyde; the yellow one. "Troy that's cheating!" I said pouncing on him. I kept hitting him and screaming "Troy! You cheated, I automatically win!" Troy pinned me beneath him and said "Now whatcha gonna do?" I looked at him; his hair was falling in his face. He looked so adorable. He had my wrists pinned down on either side of my head and was inches away from my face. He had one knee on either side of my hips. Oh my god…Troy is on top of me…in his bed! His expression changed, he looked so focused. He moved closer to my face. I could feel his breath on me. We closed our eyes and I guessed he was seconds away from a kiss. Then I realized, I have a boyfriend! What am I doing? I opened one eye and said "Troy…" He jumped out of his trance and got off of me. "Sorry…" he said. "Um, I uh, better go home…" I said too shy and ashamed to stay. "Oh, yeah, okay" He lead me to the door and I said I would walk home. "See you" I said over my shoulder. How could I do this? How could I fall back into love with Troy while dating Jack!
Troy's POV
What am I doing? Jack will kick the living shit out of me if Gabriella tells her about our 'almost kiss'. Gabriella didn't seem to freak out much as I made a move, I mean she closed her eyes! But then she's all 'Troy…get off of me!' I mean she never said that but I could so tell. She loves that jackass and not me. I have no chance.
The next day at school I was so out of it. Deciding what to do next, keep going for Gabi? Or someone else? Next thing I knew I was in Kelsi's practice room warming up…waiting for Gabriella. She stopped the piano. "Troy, I just want you to know that I'm sorry if you and Gabriella's break up was because of me, I never really got to say sorry like I wanted to." "No it wasn't you…I don't really know why but I know it wasn't you" "Good. Hey Troy…Do you know if Jason likes me? Cause I mean he's really sweet but he hasn't made a move and I…" "Yes he does…just don't tell him I told you…even if that's so sixth grade" "Okay" Gabriella walked in and we Began practice.
