"Hey, Gabriella. Dinner tonight?? My place. I'll go out and get something?" Troy asked into the phone.

"Yes, yes, yes!!" Gabriella said, sounding as if Troy had just asked her to marry him. She was just so relieved that Troy wasn't cheating on her.

"Great. Um, is seven okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

"Okaay-hayyy... Bye," Troy said, freaked out.

"Bye, love you," Gabriella said, expecting Troy to say the same.

"Yeah," he said and hung up.

Troy put down the phone and ran his hands through his hair. It was finally time to break up with Gabriella. He decided to do it face-to-face because it was just not right to break up over the phone.

Still, he felt that somehting was missing that kept him from breaking up with Gabriella. There was something that he wanted from Gabriella. Her virginity.

They've been going out for so long and it didn't feel right just leaving it at that and not having sex.

Gabriella got her mom to drive her over to Troy's place.

"Bye mom, see ya at home," she said and kissed her mom on the cheek.

"Okay. So, you'll ask Mr or Mrs Bolton or Troy to give you a ride home, right? If not, you can just call me, I'll be awake all night watching the Desperate Housewives Season Three marathon!" Ms Montez said.

Gabriella smiled. "Yes mom."

Then she walked up to the front door and knocked. From inside, she heard Troy say, "Coming!"

Five seconds later, Troy opened the door and let her in.

Troy took her to the kitchen without touching her. "So. I bought lasagna..."

"Cool," Gabriella said and smiled. "Lasagna's nice."

"Yeah." Troy pulled out a seat for Gabriella and went to sit at his own seat. He took a bite of his lasagna.

Gabriella did the same. They kept eating in silence for the next ten minutes.

"Gabriella." Troy said.

"Yes?" Gabriella said, looking up. She wasn't really eating. She'd only taken a nibble. She was glad Troy finally broke the silence.

"Uh, let's watch a movie," Troy suggested.

"Yeah. What are we watching?" she asked as she walked to the living room.

"Well, I didn't rent anything.. so feel free to look around in the DVD rack," Troy said and turned on the TV and then the DVD player.

Gabriella ran her fingers throught the cases, looking for the right movie to watch. She pulled out Titanic.

"I've never watched it before. I've heard it's such a great movie, but I never really bothered to watch it," she admitted and put it in the DVD player.

"Okay," Troy said and pressed play as Gabriella took the seat next to him.

He didn't really want to watch the movie. It was just something to do to get Gabriella on the couch. He put his arm around Gabriella's shoulder and slid it down her back. Then he put it under her blouse.

Gabriella froze as she realized what Troy was doing. Oh, the hell with it, Gabriella! You're seventeen for goodness sake. Do you want to go to college a virgin? No!!

So, Gabriella decided to go along with it. She let Troy take off her blouse and she pulled off his t-shirt.

Troy moved in on her and moved his tongue around her neck and unzipped her pants. With trembling fingers, Gabriella did the same to Troy's jeans.

Soon, they were both naked on the couch, and Troy was doing all the work and Gabriella let him.

"Are you wearing... it?" she asked.

Troy didn't answer.

Gabriella, what are you worrying about? It's not like you get pregnant the first time you have sex with a guy... right?? she thought. Then she felt Troy inside of her.

"Ohhohhh.." Gabriella murmurred. This was it. The big O.

Troy smiled and kissed her. Then he kissed around her breasts.

The big O wasn't coming. Maybe she should be doing something too? Troy was already giving her hickeys everywhere, he was like a wild animal.

"Troy, stop.. please.." she murmured. Then he thrust his hips. It felt good. But then he stopped.

Why did he stop, just as it was getting good?!?!?!

It's not right. Letting her feel liek this when I'm just about to dump her... She'd be wanting more, and I wouldn't be able to give it to her... Troy thoguht. Then he thought of Sharpay. He imagined what it would be like doing it with her. Whoa.

Troy got off Gabriella and put on his pants. "Look, Gabriella.. Um, I don't think it's working out between us..."

A lightbulb clicked off in Gabriella's head. He was going ot break up with her, but he only waited till he took her virginity to do it! What a bastard. She slapped him. Hard.

"You mother-effin son of a bitch! I hate you Troy Bolton! DON'T TALK TO ME EVER AGAIN!" she cried as she threw on her clothes. She slapped him again on his other cheek. Harder.

"OW!" Troy cried in pain.

Gabriella stomped out of the house and slammed the door so hard it almost broke.
