Title: Getaway Part One

It was the last day before Spring Break. The last bell was just getting ready to ring signaling the start of a weeklong vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Bolton had invited Gabriella to come with them on their cruise for vacation since Mrs. Montez had to go on a business trip and they didn't want her to be left alone for a whole week and they always enjoyed being in her company. Troy met his girlfriend at her locker as she was putting her books away. Gabriella closed her locker and turned around to go meet up with Troy, not knowing he had snuck behind her. The young women jumped in surprise when she was faced to face with her boyfriend.

"I hate it when you do that." Gabriella told him as Troy wrapped his arm around her and began to lead her out to the parking lot.

"You love it when I surprise you." Troy said.

"Surprise, yes, giving me a heart attack, no."

"Are you all packed?" Troy asked as they reached his car.

"Yep, we just need to stop by my house to pick up my suitcase."

"Your mom left already?"

"She leaves tomorrow morning, but we said goodbye this morning before you picked me up."

Troy pulled up to the Montez house and he and Gabriella walked inside to get Gabriella's bag. Ms. Montez had left some spending money for Gabriella in an envelope on the kitchen table with a little note telling the couple to have fun in the sun. She had also left Gabriella the numbers to her hotel incase she needed something. Gabriella went up to her room to grab her suitcase. Troy helped her put in the trunk of his car.

"All set?" Troy asked her.

"I think so." Gabriella agreed locking the front door. "What time does our plane leave?"

"It leaves at six. So by the time we get back to my house, we'll have just enough time to load the bags into my dad's truck and then we'll be on our way."

"Great."

Once they got to the Bolton house, Troy quickly put Gabriella's suitcase in the truck. The two of them then went in to see if his parents needed any help. Once everything was ready to go, the three Boltons and Gabriella got into the truck and headed to the airport. On the way, Ms. Montez called her daughter to make sure she got the money and the phone numbers. She was a little nervous as this was the first time Gabriella would be going on vacation without her, but she knew she was safe with the Boltons. And she knew Troy himself would not let anything dangerous happen to her at all.

At six, the plane left Albuquerque for Tampa, Florida. Gabriella and Troy sat behind their parents. This was the first time, well technically the second time, they had gone on vacation together. The first time didn't really count because Gabriella had gone with Sharpay and Troy and Zeke showed up later to make sure that no other guys hit on their girls. Troy had gotten into a lot of trouble since he forgot to mention it to his parents that he was going to Hawaii. The two looked out the window at the changing scenery underneath them.

"It looks like a model." Gabriella said smiling quietly. "Hard to believe we live down there. Everything is so tiny."

"The world is full of wonderment." Troy told her making Gabriella laughed.

"You're full of wonderment." Gabriella joked kissing him quickly.

A few hours later, the plane landed in Tampa. Troy helped Gabriella get to her feet and then led her off the plane. They met his parents at the gate. The four of them then went to get their luggage. Coach Bolton went and got them a cab to take them to the hotel they were staying at for the night. The driver loaded the bags into the trunk while they got into the cab. Coach Bolton was in the front seat while Troy, Gabriella and Mrs. Bolton were piled into the back.

Ten minutes later, the cab pulled up to the hotel. Gabriella was given her own room. Troy and his parents were in another room with two beds. Gabriella walked into her room and went to lie down on her bed. Troy and his parents went to their room. Coach Bolton opened the door. The three walked in and saw that there was only one bed. Troy looked over at his parents.

"And where am I supposed to sleep?" he asked them.

"We're supposed to have two beds." Mrs. Bolton said looking around the room. "Jack, call the front desk to see if they made a mistake."

Coach Bolton picked up the room phone to see what was going on. There had been a mix up with the reservations and they were given a single room by mistake. Coach Bolton asked if there was another available room for the night. He then hung up the phone and looked at his wife and son.

"Well?" Mrs. Bolton asked.

"Everything's all filled up." Coach Bolton announced.

"Where's Troy going to sleep? On the floor? In the tub?"

"I'm going to go sleep with Gabby." Troy announced.

"What?" his shocked parents asked.

"I mean literally sleep with her." Troy clarified. "No fooling around, I promise."

Gabriella was putting lotion on her face in the bathroom. She heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. Troy stood there with his suitcase.

"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked laughing slightly.

"I'm your roommate for the night." Troy announced as Gabriella let him in.

"What do you mean? Your parents aren't going to like this. I only have one bed in here."

"Relax, they know. There was a mix up and they have a single room as well. And it's either I sleep in here with you or I can sleep on the floor in my parents' room. You don't want me, your hot good looking boyfriend, to sleep on the cold hard floor do you?"

"I don't know, it might be good to help you with your ego." Gabriella joked. "No funny business?"

"Already made that promise to my parents. That's the only way they would allow me to sleep in here."

"I guess I can put up with you for tonight."

"You're too kind." Troy said laughing as he kissed her gently.

"No fooling around." Gabriella said pulling away. "We've got to get up early tomorrow. And if you're a good boy tonight, maybe you can sneak away into my cabin tomorrow night after your parents are asleep."

"Gabby." Troy groaned as Gabriella groaned.
