DISCLAIMER: I don't own HSM, never will.

Feeling a wet mist, Gabriella stirred awake. She opened her eyes, one by one. Realizing she was with Troy, she beamed. "We there yet?"

He only chuckled. "Only for about 32 minutes."

Gabriella gave him a light push, noticing his muscles beginning to ripple at her touch. She shrugged. "You should've woken me up."

"You're cute when you sleep, really cute."

Gabriella blossomed to a hectic flush. "Oh, cute? I was cute? You were looking at me right?"

Troy swirled his eyes around, ignoring her comment. "More like adorable."

There was a calm, comfortable silence for a brief moment until Gabriella blurted out. "Why'd you bring me here? I mean me. Why me?"

He exhaled a heavy breath and sighed. "I dunno. I had a feeling."

"Feelings?" Gabriella asked, twinkling.

"A feeling." He sneered.

"Well," Gabriella stated. "I feel a lot more comfortable with you, being alone." Saying this, Gabriella lightly leaned towards Troy.

She stiffened as he moved away. "Yeah."

"What is this feeling? I have it too. I guess, I mean, we don't know each other. One minute, I think you're gonna kill me, the next…" Gabriella sighed. "I don't know."

Not wanting to go farther in the conversation, Troy stood up, motioning his hand towards Gabriella to stand up as well. "My sisters would want me home. Come 'mon."

Gabriella caught Troy's hand in hers. "Wait, so now we're leaving? We just got here!"

"Let's go." Troy called out, grabbing his hand back in his own possession.

As they pulled up her driveway, Gabriella groaned. "Great, I have no time for homework."

"Well, yeah, sorry. See you at school." Troy replied.

"Wait." Gabriella cried. "Thanks."

"You're-"

Getting caught off guard, Gabriella leaned in, leaving a kiss on Troy's cheek. Troy let her luscious lips linger there, not wanting her to stop. Troy pulled back. "Bye Gabriella." Troy muttered.

Gabriella sitting in the car breathless sighed. "Sorry- I- bye Troy."
