The next morning Troy could hear birds chirping all around him. He opened his eyes to find a peaceful sleeping Gabriella warm and snug in his arms. He smiled down at her. He tried to shift his weight just a little but arose Gabriella at the same time. She lifted her head and opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" she asked in a grumbly voice.
"Your in the woods, sitting on the floor of an abandoned cabin." He answered.
Her eyes widened. Apparently she remembered the events of last night. She sat up and turned to Troy.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." He said cheerfully.
"Good morning." She said back.
"Well if you ready, I think we should head back. Its time to get back to civilization."
"Ok, I'm ready when you are." Troy stood up and helped her get to her feet.
"Well then, let's be off."
They walked outside and started won the trail. They had been walking for about an hour when they saw the parking lost at last. They got in and before Troy started the car her had to apologize to Gabriella.
"Gabriella, I am truly sorry for what happened. I never wanted it to turn out this way. Can you forgive me?"
Gabriella looked him in the eyes.
"It wasn't your fault Troy. You couldn't control the weather. There's no need to apologize." She said sincerely.
"Well the least I could do is to take you home right now." He started to the car and drove out. Once they reached Gabriella's complex Troy remembered something.
"Oh wait, Gabriella. Listen, I have my last basketball game tonight. And I was wondering if you wanted to come?" he asked
"I would love to come. What time is it at?"
"7:00, but you should probably get there around 6:30. I would take you myself but I have to be there at 5:30."
"That's totally ok, I understand. So I'll see you after the game."
"Ok, I'll talk to you later, bye." Troy pulled out and drove home. Once he got home he quickly got into the shower seeing how he desperately needed one.
For the rest of the day he went to class and got ready for the big game.
