Broken Heat
"I can't believe we're having a party tonight to celebrate Amanda getting into the squad" Sharpay said, sitting on Gabriella's bed and crossing her arms frustrated, "That's not fair"
Gabby sat on her side, rubbing her friend's arm, "You know I'm not happy throwing a party to the blond Aussie, but everyone that gets in the team gets a party"
Sharpay pouted, "I was supposed to get into the team G. I'm your friend!"
Taylor rolled her eyes and stopped downloading music, "I was there Shar, you can't dance, admit it"
Sharpay stood up, "Yes I can" she danced a little, "See it?"
Gabriella laughed, "She means you can't dance cheerleading"
Sharpay lay down, "That's not fair at all"
Gabriella smiled, "Sorry Pay, but if you want we can pay a tribute for you too at the party"
Her eyes blinked, "For real?"
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders, "sure"
Chad ran inside Gabriella's room and sat on Taylor's lap, breathing hardly, "I talked to a friend of a friend" he lifted his eyebrows, "Drinking is on ladies!"
The three girls screamed and clapped hands, "That's what my cute boyfriend is all about" Taylor said and Chad smiled proudly, "I did it all for you, princess"
The girl blushed and Gab and Shar rolled their eyes, "Find a room huh!"
Troy stood at Gabriella's doorway and rubbed his neck embarrassed, "Uhm, Chad, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"You're coming to the party tonight right, T?" Shar asked him, "I already told Z you're coming"
Troy laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Sharpay was all about calling the gang by the first letter of their name now. She thought it was cute and even if it bothered Troy so much she wouldn't change the nickname. He had to get used to it, at least till she find a different tendency.
"It's not like I have someplace else to go" he smiled, "I live here… S."
Sharpay grinned and Chad rolled his eyes. "Alright" he pecked Taylor on the lips and stood up, "Let's go hoops"
Troy said bye to the girls and they walked to his room. Troy waited till Chad stepped in too and closed the door behind him.
"I need your help"
Chad shook his head, "Na-ah, it's always 'I need your help, Chad' and then when everything turns into a mess it's always Chad's fault"
"Dude, relax, it won't mess up," Troy began, "At least if you help me it won't"
Chad kept shaking his head, "Nope, dude, don't count on me"
"Chad, please" Troy begged, "We're brothers, dude!"
He sighed and rolled his eyes, "Tell me before I change my mind"
Troy grinned, "You're the man, Danforth"
"Yeah, yeah" he said sarcastically, "What do you want me to do?"
; Later
Troy and Gabriella's house was crowded since every single person in East High heard the party was going to be at their house. So much for being popular!
At first Gabriella was worried about throwing a party there, but since her parents were only coming back two days after it, she would have plenty of time to organize everything again. And Chad, well he wasn't playing around when he said the drinking was on, because there were lots of different kinds of drinks in her party.
The host climbed on the couch and asked for everyone's attention for a second, "So guys," Gabriella began, "Can I have a minute or two of your attention?"
"You're so hot Gabriella" someone screamed, "Yeah!!" she heard another voice agreeing with the first guy. Gabby laughed, "Why thank you. But anyways, let's go straight to the point. As you can imagine the party is to introduce you all to our new cheerleader. But before, I would love the presence of my girls here to teach her the rules of being a cheerleader!"
The rest of the squad ran to Gabriella, but didn't climb on the couch, stayed on the floor in front of her, making a wall of athletic girls. "What's the rules, girls?" she encouraged and the girls began to dance and sing at the same time, "Always smile, know your jumps, have confidence and be a role model"
"Did you guys get it?" Gabriella asked and the crowd cheered, "Awesome"
"What team?" Chad asked and the party replied, "WILDCATS"
Gabriella giggled and introduced Amanda, "Give it a hand to—" she closed her mouth for a second and looked at Amanda smiling widely at her, "my friend Amanda Rivers, the new cheerleader of East High Wildcats"
Everybody yelled out loud and clapped hands as Amanda waved to the audience like a princess from Disneyland. Gabriella rolled her eyes and laughed, "Enjoy yourselves, the party is yours"
She jumped out of the couch and joined her friends at the drinking table. Amanda ran to her and hugged Gabriella tight, making her drink escape from her hand and fall on the floor, "Wow, calm down, Mandy" she said, "What is that for?"
Amanda's eyes were teary, "thanks so much for letting me be your friend and be in your team"
Gabriella shrugged. "No problem, you earned the position" she smiled, "Have fun, it's your party you know?"
The Aussie kissed her cheek and disappeared in the middle of the crowd. Taylor shook her head and gave Gabriella another drink, "Okay, who else think it was weird enough?"
Chad, Zeke and Sharpay raised their hands, but Troy just gave Gabriella a tiny smile. The gang started drinking a lot and talk about silly stuff that would make all of them laugh till they had tears in their eyes. Sharpay almost chocked when she saw her twin Ryan making out with Amanda on top of the living room table.
"What? That little traitor!" she exclaimed as she walked to Ryan, but Zeke pulled her back by the waist, "Calm down pumpkin, let the guy have some fun, she's pretty cute"
Her eyes widened and her mouth as well, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing" Zeke muttered and stepped back to get his drink and pretend nothing happened. "Oh you're so fucked, pumpkin" Chad laughed and Taylor slapped him on the back of his head, "Ouch, what was that for?" he asked, massaging where she slapped,
"You know three is a crowd, right?" Taylor warned him, "Stay out of other people fight"
He nodded, "Relax, princess"
Gabriella laughed at her friends and took another sip of her drink. Troy stopped behind her and whispered in her ear, "Don't you think you already had too much?" he asked softly, "You're not used to drinking"
She shuddered, but didn't turn back to look at him "No, but thanks for your worry"
Gabriella grabbed her girlfriends by the hand and pulled them to the backyard where some people were chatting by the pool. Sharpay brought a bottle of tequila with her and the three girls started giggling like a bunch of kids.
"Let's drink it all" Sharpay whispered to them as a secret and Taylor nodded, "We need caballitos"
Gabriella got confused, "Small horses? What for?"
Shar laughed and Tay rolled her eyes, "that's how they call the tequila glasses in Mexico"
"Ohh" Gabriella nodded, "Ok, do you have a caballito?"
"Nope, not here" Taylor said and then stood up, "But I guess Chad's friend brought a few"
Five minutes later Taylor was back with three caballitos. She sat back on the grass with her friends and put the glasses in a line, "Yay, caballitos!" Gabriella clapped her hands excitedly as Taylor opened the bottle of tequila.
Sharpay laughed, "You're already drunk"
Gabby fake hurt, "No I'm not"
"Whatever, girlfriend" Taylor replied, filling the glasses with tequila, "What are we going to toast about?" Sharpay asked and Taylor replied, "To love"
"Great you guys" Gabby sighed, "You are so in love and I'm as single as a nun"
Taylor laughed hard, "You're in looove too, you know that"
Gabriella giggled and covered Tay's mouth with her hand, "Shhh"
Sharpay pouted, "What are you guys hiding from me?"
"Nothing" they said together and started laughing again.
"Come on!"
"I'll tell you Pay" Gabriella said a little high, "but you need to promise me you won't tell anyone"
She nodded, "agreed"
Gabriella lean on Sharpay and told her as a secret. Sharpay's eyes widened as soon as she sat back straight "Shut up"
"Yep"
"This is sooo cool" Sharpay exclaimed and slapped Taylor on her arm, "We need to toast to that"
Giggling, the three drunk friends placed their caballitos together in the air, the drink running down her hands and arms as they tried to toast properly,
"A toast to Gabriella and Tr—" Sharpay started but was interrupted by Taylor, "Shh, it's a secret… can't tell"
Sharpay made the 'O' face and nodded, "I forgot" she giggled, "A toast to Gabriella and Shh"
They laughed a bit before drinking their shots. After the first one, they drank another one till the whole bottle was empty and they were lying down on the backyard grass, laughing at something that happened in the sky. At least that's what they thought. When the party was over and everybody went home, there was only the gang in T&G's house.
Zeke, Chad and Troy were inside playing videogames and the girls, well, the girls were outside, still drinking. Eventually, the boys got tired of playing and went to the backyard as well, their mouth's dropping down at the scene their eyes were seeing.
"Oh my god, it's right behind you" Gabriella yelled and Taylor started running around from something the guys couldn't see.
"Where is it, where is it?" she looked around, searching for the "thing". Sharpay sat on the floor, holding her stomach and laughing hard, "Ahh you're guys are so drunk" she stood up and walked to help Taylor, tripping on Gabriella and falling on top of her, "Ouch"
Gabriella laughed more, "Aww you're gonna kill me like this Shaaar"
"I'm sorry Gabreba" she said and they started laughing again, "Gaella, Gabriella"
Zeke's eyes widened, "Geejz, they're crazy"
Troy shook his head, looking down at the empty bottles on the grass, "Nah, they're drunk"
Chad, who was also pretty wasted, ran to the ladies and started chasing them, the girls giggled louder and started running from him. Troy sighed and with Zeke's help collected the empty bottles from the floor and put on top of the garden table.
"I'm so getting you Gabster" Chad said and run after her. Gabriella screamed and tried to hide behind Taylor, but it was impossible. Chad easily caught her and threw her in the swimming pool, laughing his ass at the scene of the girl all wet. The bottles fell from Troy's hands as he ran to her, his bigger concern was that Gabriella was just using a top and a miniskirt, the weather was really cold & windy during the night and to make everything worse, the heat was broken.
Chad pulled him by his shirt, "Dude, we're having fun"
Troy pushed him away, "The fucking heat is broken, she's gonna freeze"
He stepped out of his shoes and pulled his shirt over his head before diving in the swimming pool. As soon as his body hit the cold water, he could feel like a sharp knife was slicing through his muscles inside his body, but he swam as fast as he could to Gabriella.
"Ella?" he brushed his wet hair out of his eyes and looked at her shaky figure, "you're okay?"
She shook her head in negation, "cold"
Troy brought her closer to his body and rubbed her back, "I'm already here"
"I wanna get out Troy, it's too cold" Gabriella cried out, "Please"
"You can't, not now at least. You're gonna get sick if you get out like this"
She continued shaking and her teeth began chattering madly. Troy looked at her and she seemed so cold that it was hard for her to breathe.
"Z dude, get us a towel"
Zeke nodded and ran into the house while Chad, Sharpay and Taylor laughed hard like nothing was going on.
"It's so cold, Boo" she said with a weak voice and he felt his heart flipping at the sound of his old nickname.
"I know" he grabbed her hand and rubbed on his chest, "See, skin on skin, you're gonna warm up very quickly"
She nodded slowly, resting her mouth on his chest. Troy kissed the top of her head, enjoying the minutes holding her.
Gabriella looked up, "I missed you" she whispered to him and bit her lower lip, "Very much"
He gave her a tiny smile, "I've missed you too, baby"
"I missed you, I missed you" she repeated as she pulled his face closer to her, bringing Troy's lips to rest on hers. He sucked on her lower lip for a few seconds, running his hand through her hair.
"I miss your tongue too, Ells" he joked against her lips and Gabriella giggled, opening her mouth and letting his tongue meet hers in a very longing kiss. Troy wrapped his arms around her waist and held her closer to his body, stepping back with Gabriella and resting her back against the pool edge. She pushed him away from her and licked his lower lip with her tongue, saving his taste on her mouth. Gabriella's hand caressed his chest and then it slowly ran down to his abs and inside his jeans.
"Fuck" he muttered against her mouth just a second before attacking her swollen lips again. Gabriella smiled into the kiss and kept stroking his penis gently as he kissed her with all his love. When the air was needed again, Troy pulled his lips away from hers and sucked her neck, leaving love marks on her skin.
"Ohh baby" she groaned as she threw her head back and closed her eyes, "I love your lips on my skin"
Troy grinned, "I love my lips on your skin too"
They heard giggles and stopped making out, but Gabriella kept her hand inside his jeans and on his member, feeling his growing erection in her hands and becoming wetter with it. "Can you excuse us?" she asked with her high voice, her eyes rolling back as she pressed the tip of Troy's penis, "It's a private party here"
Chad, Sharpay and Taylor laughed harder and stepped closer to the pool, "Can we watch it?" Chad asked with a stupid grin on his face, "I love porn"
"Shut up Chad" Troy snapped annoyed, "You three, get the fuck out of here"
"Someone's in a bad mood tonight" Taylor smiled and Sharpay added, "What's the magic word?"
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE" he said and added with a soft voice, "Please"
Gabriella giggled and sucked his collarbone as soon as their friends left them alone in the backyard. "I'm feeling warm already, Boo"
Troy smiled and held her in his arms, kissing her lightly on the lips, "that's good, babydoll"
"I missed you calling me babydoll" she pouted and wrapped her arms around his neck, "And calling me Ella"
Troy licked her neck and placed a gentle kiss behind her ear on her weak spot, "I missed you all Ella"
"You did?" she stroked his hair and his back with her nail, "Very much?"
"Mm hmm, very much" he admitted and kissed her lower lip, "All the time"
Gabriella felt him harden even more and now his erection was brushing the V between her legs as they kissed and caressed each other bodies.
"Baby" she begged with a soft voice, "Can we make love tonight?"
Troy looked at her, "I don't know, you're drunk Ella"
"Please?" she pouted and kissed him on the face, "I'm really wet, you should feel it" Gabby grabbed his hand and pulling her skirt up introduced inside her panties, "see it?"
Troy closed his eyes as he felt her vagina again and introduced two fingers inside her warmth, "But baby, I don't wanna take advantage of you" he said on her ear, as he pumped his fingers in and out her and kissed her earlobe, "It's not fair"
"It's not fair if you don't fuck me right now" Gabriella said between moans and tilted her head back, "Baby" she whimpered as she pulled his neck closer and sucked the skin of it, "I'm already yours, it won't be advantage at all, I promise"
Troy smirked and slipped one hand beneath her top, caressing her already erect nipple. Gabriella moaned louder and Troy kissed her on the lips to avoid her waking up the whole neighborhood with her screams.
"Baby no mooore" she almost sang it and pulled his jeans down, wrapping her legs around his waist and pulling her panties aside. Gabriella glanced up and she felt her pulse speed at the look of desire over his face. His baby blue eyes were dark, so dark she felt hypnotized by them, "Please"
A lazy smile played on his lips as his thumb rubbed her sensitive area to confirm she was ready for penetration. Gabriella moaned and closed her eyes, absorbing the sensations his finger and mouth sent her as he rubbed her skin and sucked her neck. Troy placed light kisses on her collarbone, stroking up and down her thighs, smirking at her pleasured expression.
"Baaaby" she begged in a sweet voice and Troy pecked her on the lips, before positioning himself in the middle of her legs and started getting inside her warmth. Gabriella felt her breath become shorter at the mere brush of the tip of his penis on her clit, a huge grin placing on her lips as she remembered how good Troy felt inside of her. He groaned as his member was all inside of her now and she shut her eyes closed, biting the side of her lips as he started pumping inside her, too hard and too faster.
"Slow baby" she murmured, stoking his hair and kissing his neck, "I want slow tonight"
Troy nodded and did what she asked, savoring the seconds and minutes he took to get inside and outside her, his hand caressed her body with passion and admiration. Gabriella's mouth searched for his, their tongues battling inside their mouths as they deepened their kiss.
"You feel so good, Ells" he told her with his husky voice, making her whole body shiver. Gabriella gasped and Troy could swear he felt the heat rising from his stomach as he started to speed up, thrusting inside of her faster now, unable to control himself.
"Oh god, it feels so good" she screamed and started breathing through her nose as she neared her orgasm. Troy kept pumping fast and hard his hips inside her till he finally felt her tighten around his penis. He whispered her name and found his release as well.
Troy shut his eyes harder as he felt his liquid filling Gabriella's body and his mouth quickly found hers, giving her a lovingly kiss before he pulled away to control his breathing again. Gabriella's body was still shaking slightly and she kept completely froze in the same position, finding difficult to unwrap her legs around him and stand on her own legs.
"I feel so week" she admitted smiling with satisfaction, "Thanks so much"
Troy gave her a slow smile and pecked her on the lips, getting out of her body and pulling his jeans up with difficulty. He looked into her eyes again and it made her heart pound and her stomach flip. Troy got lost in her big brown eyes and ran his hand through her hair and the side of her face, feeling his throat dry. Gabriella bit her lip and looked at him with puppy eyes and he couldn't avoid feeling his stomach tied up in knots all over again. God, he missed that sensation!
"Let me help you baby" he said as he started fixing her clothes again and Gabriella just nodded, too tired to avoid the sensations he sent to her. She pecked him on the cheek and hugged him again.
"Oi! Lovebirds!" Zeke called them and added with a playful smile, "the towels"
Gabriella stiffened a small gasp, blushing lightly. Troy laughed at how cute she looked embarrassed and wrapped his arms around her, before kissing her sloppy hair and whispering on her ear that it was time to get out of the pool.
Troy looked up and pulled away from Gabriella, smiling to his friend and getting out of the pool. "I'll tell you everything later" Troy said, ignoring Zeke's smile and grabbing the towels from his hands, "Of course you will" he replied, "I need to understand why Gabby and you were having sex in the pool"
"Yeah" Troy said and turned back to look at Gabby, "come here, Ella"
Zeke laughed, "Mm"
"Shut up dude" he said as he helped her out of the pool and wrapped a towel around her body, "you need to sleep"
Gabriella shook her head, "I wanna drink more"
Troy rolled his eyes, "No more drinking for you tonight, miss" he stared at his friend again, "dude, can you help me with the others?"
"Yup" Zeke assured them, "Make sure we put them near a bathroom, they drank way too much"
Troy and Zeke helped everybody inside the house and divided them into the bedrooms they would stay. Zeke was sleeping with Sharpay in Troy's room and Chad with Taylor in Gabriella's room. After helping Zeke with Chad, Taylor and Sharpay, Troy walked downstairs and into the living room, but Gabriella was already sleeping on the couch. He gently grabbed her in his arms and took her upstairs to their parents room.
"Ella" he stroked her hair trying to wake her up, "Come on baby, you're gonna get sick if you sleep like this"
Gabriella didn't respond, so Troy made his way to Gabriella's room again to pick up a PJ for her. He certified himself that Chad and Taylor were breathing and got back to his parents room to find a very hyper Gabriella jumping on the bed.
"I thought you were sleeping"
She said in a baby voice, "I woke up"
Troy shook his head and laughed, "Sit down Ella, you need to change"
"I don't wanna to" she pouted, "I wanna dance, Boo"
"Please baby, come here" Troy asked her and she jumped one more time before falling on the bed sitten.
"I have your PJs, can you change yourself?"
Gabriella shook her head, "No"
"Ella, please"
She didn't say a word, just raised both arms up indicating she wanted to be changed. "You're such a baby" he joked before pulling her shirt over her head and reached behind her to unclasp her wet bra. Gabriella giggled as his hand accidentally brushed one of her breasts, making her nipple hard. She grabbed the PJ shirt from his hand, trying to dress it, but taking too long to find the right way to put it on.
"Wait up" Troy said and helped her, trying not to focus on her breasts, "Ready"
Gabriella stood up and he took of her skirt and panties, giving her new panties and the shorts of her PJs.
"Dress it up or I won't be able to keep my hands away from you"
She giggled again, dressing the rest of her clothes, "I'm ready, Booboo"
"Booboo?" he smiled at her, "You sound 5 when you call me that"
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and jumped on the bed, "You're my Booboo"
"Yep" he said and started undressing too, "I'll always be, baby"
"Hurry up" she said as she watched him take off his wet clothes and put his PJs pants too, "I wanna hug you"
"Just a sec beautiful" Troy said as he finished getting ready and walked to his parents bathroom to brush his teeth.
"Come here Ella Bella"
She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, "guess who it is"
Troy laughed, "You're so drunk Ella" he turned around and grabbed her by the waist, sitting her on the bathroom counter, "Show me your teeth"
Gabriella gave him a huge smile and Troy smirked, "You're so cute"
"You're so cute" she mocked him and let him brush her teeth, looking up and humming while he did it, "Tongue, out" he ordered gently and she did what he asked, "Alright, spit"
She swung her legs back and forth as she watched him brushing his teeth, amazed by the color of his eyes, "Your eyes are so blue"
Troy gave her an amused look, "Uhm… thanks"
When he finished, Gabriella was already yawning, "I want a ride, Booboo"
Troy smiled and walked to her, letting her wrap her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. He easily lifted her from the counter and started walking with her to the bedroom again. Ella buried her face on his neck and stroked his shoulder all the way back to the bed. Troy sat her on the bed and lay down, tapping his side on the bed, "come here, beautiful"
Gabriella giggled and lay on his side, snuggling into him. Troy covered them with the blanket and rubbed her back slowly, "you're feeling good?"
She nodded, "Yes"
"Alright" he lifted her head by the chin and pecked her on the lips, "if you need anything, wake me up"
Gabriella yawned again and hugged him tighter, closing her eyes. Troy turned the lamp off and closed his eyes as well, feeling happier than ever. Finally everything seemed to be normal again and his heart was filled with love – he needed to thank Chad in the morning for helping him with her, even though he wouldn't probably remember throwing her in the pool. Troy snapped out of his thoughts as Gabriella started moving, like if she was uncomfortable or something like that.
"Troy" she called him with a weak voice, "Yeah?"
She covered her mouth with her hand, "I don't feel too well"
He quickly sat down, turning the lamp on, "What are you feeling?"
Gabriella took the hand off her mouth, but before she could reply she threw up on him. Troy covered his mouth and closed his eyes, to reopen it a second later and look at the blanket all covered with vomit, "Oh shit"
She looked down and then at him and started crying, "I'm sorry"
He shook his head and stood up next to the bed, "come here"
"I, I'm sorry" she said as she crawled to him and he grabbed her on his arms like a baby, taking her to the bathroom, "I didn't want to" she said again in between sobs, "It happened"
Troy kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, I deserve it after being a jerk with you for so long"
; Next Day
Gabriella woke up feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders and a drummer playing madly inside her head. She slowly sat down, holding her head and looking around the room that seemed so familiar after a few seconds of staring. She realized she was in her parents room, but had no idea how she ended up there. All she could remember was being at the party with the girls and that was it.
She sighed and looked down, finding Troy sleeping next to her. Gabriella smiled to herself, admiring how cute he looked sleeping. She called him up and a few minutes later, Troy rubbed the sleep from his eyes away and smiled to her, "hey baby"
"Baby?"
Troy sat down and hugged her, "yeah, my baby" he kissed her cheek and whispered a 'good morning' on her ear.
Gabriella pulled away from him, "I didn't forgive you, Troy"
"I thought you did" he said confused, "last night"
"Last night? She asked, running a hand through her hair, "I don't even remember what happened last night"
Troy felt like an anvil just hit him in the middle of the head, but he nodded in agreement, trying not to show her his disappointment, "Okay" he stood up, "I'm waking the guys up"
"Troy?"
He turned around to face her again, "Uhm, did I embarrass myself yesterday?"
"Nah, don't worry" he gave her a tiny smile, "you didn't do anything wrong"
She nodded, "Ok"
Troy sighed before walking out of the room and making his way to the other bedrooms to wake up the rest of the gang. Ten minutes later they were already sitten in the kitchen to eat breakfast.
"Wow, it looks like there was a hurricane here" Chad said as he grabbed the box of cereals from Zeke, "It feels like there's a hurricane inside my head" Taylor said as she rubbed her forehead, annoyed.
"Mine too" Sharpay said, "Mine three" Gabriella agreed.
Zeke laughed, "You girls drank so much yesterday, it was pretty insane" he looked at Troy, "don't you think, dude?"
Troy shrugged his shoulders, "whatever man"
"So" Chad began, "It's Saturday and we have the whole house for us till Monday, right Troy?" Troy nodded quietly. "I have a super cool party today for us. Lots of drinking and good music. Who's in?"
Zeke lifted his hand, "I am"
"I am" Taylor, Sharpay and Gabriella said together.
"And you dude?" Chad asked Troy, slapping him gently on the arm, "you're coming, right?"
"Yeah, whatever" he said discouraged, "Count me in"
"Alright" Chad clapped his hands, "Let's go PARTY!!"
The three girls held their heads in their hands, "shut up Chad"
Chad rolled his eyes and took a sip of his milk.
"I don't wanna sound like my mom, but we need to clean the house first" Troy told them with a small smile, "Who's in?"
"Ahh"
; Later that night
(A/N - Italic for the song)
I never knew
I never knew that everything,
Was falling through
That everyone I knew
Was waiting on a cue
To turn and run
When all I needed was the truth
The gang got into the party and there were already drunk people sitting everywhere around the room. Chad greeted a few guys and introduced them to the boys.
"Nice sound" Zeke said, looking at the band that was covering a few famous songs.
Troy nodded, "Yeah, I like that song"
The girls started dancing and some guys surrounded them. One of the guys, a blond college guy asked Gabriella if she wanted to dance with him and she nodded, really proud she could seduce a college boy. As soon as Troy realized she was dancing with someone else, he felt angry. He crossed his arms against his body and sighed. Fuck him for being such an asshole and jumping into conclusions. Gabriella was completely ignoring him all day and he knew he deserved it after hurting her so much. He sipped his beer, his eyes never leaving his Ella.
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to
Nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way
Than stay and see
The smoke and who's still
Standing when it clears
Chad walked to Taylor and hugged her, both of them dancing and laughing. Zeke did the same with Sharpay. Troy grabbed another beer and drank it faster. He saw the guy saying something on Gabriella's ear that made her laugh. Shit.
"Hey, you wanna dance?"
Troy looked back and without paying much attention to the girl asking him to dance shook his head in negation. "Ouch, you didn't need to be so rude"
He ignored the girl and kept his gaze on Gabriella. It was because of her he was in this party, to have more time admiring her, not flirting with college girls. He made the mistake to ask the wrong chick out once and Troy knew didn't want to do it all over again.
And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Troy's heart started to race faster as the alcohol inside his body did effect. He felt his blood rush upside down and jealously burn his eyes. Gabriella looked back a bit and saw Troy. She bit the corner of her lips and turned her attention back to the college guy.
"I was watching you all night from across the room" a red haired girl told Troy with a flirtatious smile. "Why don't you go back there and keep staring?" he snapped at her and the girl's eyes widened before she walked away. Troy didn't want to have fun with no one else tonight, only Gabriella. He needed to think of something to have her back.
Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger
I could disengage
Just say that we agree
And then never change
Soften a bit
Until we all just get along
Troy took a deep breath and walked to Gabriella.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked,
"She's kinda busy here, dude" the blond guy said, "Get lost"
Troy pierced him with his eyes, "I was not talking to you"
"She's dancing with me" he laughed in disbelief, "she can't go with you right now"
The college guy pulled Gabriella by the arm to another side of the room and she looked back, a little bit regretful of her actions. Troy kept looking this strange dude take his Ella away from him and rage overcame his body. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself.
And suddenly
I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part
That don't last
I'm losing you
And it's effortless
Without a sound
We lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted
To bring it down
I won't let it go down
'Till we torch it ourselves
He opened his eyes back, staring straight ahead at his target, he was going to get her back or his name wasn't Troy Bolton. He walked to Gabriella again and the blond dude placed his hands on his waist, the air filling with tension. Troy ignored him, just grabbed Gabriella's hand in his and intertwined their fingers. She gave him a tiny and thankful smile and he pulled her to him. The college dude tried to hold her by the shoulder, but Troy pushed him away violently.
And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Troy placed Gabriella behind him, protecting her with his own body, "Back off dude, she's my girl"
The college dude stepped closer to Troy, "I saw her first"
Troy clenched his fists into a punch position, getting ready to fight for his girl if necessary. It didn't matter anymore the guy was taller and stronger than him. That college dude wouldn't get his girl easily. Troy could be punched several times, but he would stand up again and keep on fighting till he was sure Gabriella was only his again. He flicked his hair out of his eyes and stared into the other guy's eyes, blue meeting green, both of them never moving the gaze, not even for a second.
Gabriella got scared when she felt Troy's whole body tensioning like he was a wild animal. Adrenaline was pumping through his veins and she could see it popping out of his arms because of the anger. Troy's chest was rising up and down rather quickly as he breathed and even though Gabriella was still upset with him she didn't want to see Troy get hurt because of her.
Her small hand grabbed Troy's large one, making him relax his hand and instantly feel calmer, "I'm sorry Larry" she told the college guy, "I'm with him"
Larry stared at both teenagers for a whole minute, saying something about hating teenagers before walking away. Troy turned around and before Gabriella could say anything he leaned her back against the wall and attacked her lips, sucking them and begging for entrance. Gabriella's hand pulled him closer by the neck and she opened her mouth, giving space to his tongue to move inside it and curl with her own tongue. Troy smiled into the kiss and deepened it, wrapping his arms around her waist and earning from Ella soft moans. She pushed Troy back to breathe, offering her neck that Troy happily accepted, sucking it hard and enjoying himself giving her a few dark bruises on it.
Gabriella pulled his face to her and they started a heated make out session again. When the air was needed, they pulled away. Troy ran his hand through her hair and rested his forehead on hers. He caressed her swollen lips from the kissing with his index finger, his eyes never leaving hers.
"I love you" he whispered to her, still breathlessly from the kissing, "I love you so much"
She couldn't help but feel butterflies inside her stomach, "I love you too"
