Hey guys! Thanks so much for reviewing! I had a fun time at the beach but I missed writing fanfics! Lol. Well here we go with the next chapter…

"Okay, what do we have to do first?" Gabriella asked before they walked in the cafeteria.

"Well I guess we can hold hands?"

Gabriella took out her hand. Troy held out his hand too. They had a hard time getting their hands in each other's grip for a moment, until they finally got it. Troy slowly sighed and they walked together in the cafeteria.

Gabriella looked around to see people whispering as they looked at her. She sighed and looked back at Troy. Troy was looking for Alex. "Hey, let's sit here." Gabriella nodded and they sat down at the table. Alex walked towards them.

"Hey guys." He said with a bright smile. Gabriella thought he was pretty cute.

"Hi, we haven't formally met yet." Gabriella said taking her hand out. Alex shook her hand. "I'm Gabriella, Troy's…" She slowly paused. "girlfriend." She finished. She smiled.

"Troy's talked about you a lot." Alex said letting go of Gabriella's hand.

"Oh really?" She smirked at Troy. "Exactly, how long have you talked about me, Troy?"

"Well-." Alex started.

Troy interrupted him. "Well, Gabriella don't we have drama club in a few minutes?"

Gabriella looked back at Troy's watch. "Oh yeah. I have to go. I'll see you there?" Troy nodded. Gabriella got up. "It was nice to meet you Alex." She smiled and left.

"So have you guys kissed yet?" Alex said as Gabriella left.

"Huh?" Troy asked confused about totally forgetting that he was 'dating' Gabriella. "Oh, we're just taking things slowly right now."

"Riight." Alex got up. "Whatever." He left.

That night,

"Okay kids, I'm just going to go sightseeing with Alex." Lucille Bolton started. "Troy, Gabriella, make sure you get Sophie to get before 10. And Geena and Zach's mothers will pick them up in about two hours. And Alex and I will be home a little after 10." Troy and Gabriella nodded. Lucille kissed their foreheads and left with Alex.

Troy and Gabriella walked up to Troy's room. Gabriella sat on Troy's bed. "So what exactly am I suppose to say while I'm your girlfriend?"

"I don't know. Say how much you love me and how much you want to be with me forever." He smiled.

"No way, lover boy. I wouldn't say that even if I married you." He laughed.

Meanwhile with Addie, Geena, and Zach,

"So Addie, what's with Troy and Gabi?" Geena asked.

"I don't know. I just wish Troy would like her more than his best friend. She's like the big sister I never had."

"She's hot." Zach added.

"Zach, stay out of the conversation." Geena said coldly. Zach held up his hands in defeat and kept on playing video games.

"I just wish he wouldn't be such an idiot and just ask her to be more than friends!" Addie added. "Ugh men…" Addie glared at Zach. "I don't get them."

"I'm with you there, sister." Geena commented.

Back with Troy and Gabi,

"Well since we're boyfriend and girlfriend now…" Troy started. "Do you want to go on a date tomorrow?"

Gabriella laughed at Troy's nervousness. "Sure."

Troy sighed happily. "Awesome, you have to wear formal clothes though!"

"Troy, are you bringing me to like a gala?"

"No…" He smiled. "It's a surprise."

The next night,

"So does this mean you and Gabriella are dating?" Addie asked helping Troy with his tie.

"Well I'll tell you the whole story later, but yes this is a date."

"Troy, don't blow it. She's an awesome girl."

"Addie, it's not like that. Oh I'll tell you later."

"Why?"

"Because Alex is here."

"Hey man." Alex said walking in Troy's room. "You going on a date with Gabriella?"

"Yeah."

"Well have fun dude."

"I intend on it." He said coldly and left. He got in his car and drove to Gabriella's house. He got out of his car. He knocked on the door. Ms. Montez opened the door.

"Why hello Troy."

"Hi Ms. Montez. Is Gabriella ready?"

"Yes she is. Come on in." Troy nodded and walked in.

"Gabi! Troy's here." Ms. Montez yelled.

"Okay I'm coming." Gabriella yelled back. She walked out and smiled at Troy.

Gabriella looked absolutely stunning. The kind of stunning that would make Troy think 1+111. He held his mouth open in shock. Gabriella smiled at Troy's silliness. "You okay, there Troy?"

"Yeah, I think I'll be fine." He smiled back.

"Okay, I'll see you kids later." Troy and Gabriella nodded. They walked out to Troy's car.

Wow, Gabriella looks so beautiful.

Troy's thoughts were interrupted by Gabriella. "So where are we going?"

"No way am I telling you. You're just going to be surprised." She smiled and they got in the car.

Driving up to their "date spot"

"Oh my god, Troy…" Troy smiled.
