The two of them went to Sonic, as Troy was about to pay, Gabriella pulled out the exact amount for her shake. "I was going to pay for yours." Gabriella shrugged, "I like to go Dutch on the first date." The corners of Troy's lips twitched upward. "This is a date?" Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Don't sound so pompous about it. Why would a date with me be such a big deal for you? Besides don't you have a mile long line of the school whores bowing down at your feet?" Troy choked on his fries, "We're not starting this again are we?" "Sorry, but you have to admit your rep isn't exactly saintly."
"I know most of it is just rumors spread about the school." Gabriella nodded, "Like being an Ice Bitch?" "You are a bit frigid at times, you need to learn to loosen up. Hey, I know what could help. We should ditch the rest of our classes."
Gabriella looked at him in astonishment, "Are you insane?" "A little bit, but I'm trying to help you here. I don't want you to turn to trash, but just to ease up a little bit." Gabriella laughed, and thought about it.
"Okay let's do it." "Really?" Gabriella nodded, her cheeks glowing. Troy held out his hand, and she took it shyly. It was a very beautiful day, it always was. But today the blue sky was clear, and the grass was a shimmering emerald. They laid underneath a willow tree. Hands behind their heads, as they were dozing. Gabriella tuned to Troy. "So what are you really like?"
He turned to her and smiled. "Like this?" "Not really I haven't been this contented in a long time. I thank you for today." "Thank me?" She giggled, and the sound startled her. She inwardly wanted to curse herself. "I guess I should thank you too, my mom has been working me nonstop, and it's been hard to adjust."
Troy nodded, "I'm here if you need to talk, or anything." Gabriella smiled, wrapping her fingers with his. Troy smiled back at her. He had been much farther than this on almost all his other dates. But he was more thrilled to just lay there and hold Gabriella's hand.
It was so soft and warm, and it sent goosebumps over him, making his heart race. It wasn't much, but it was a start.
Barely twelve feet away on the basketball court, Chad was watching the couple with a hatred fire in his eyes. He dropped the ball as he went to tell the other guys about the abomination he had witnessed. The girl was going to pay for it.
