Basketball Practice-
Drew had gotten dressed and joined the rest of the team for warm-ups
"Drew over here" Chad yelled out as Drew walked towards them
"Yeah, uhhh I have a question I just noticed the guy on the bench, is that the coachs boyfriend." Drew said looking at Josh
Chad and Troy laughed,"No, he's my friend." Troy said,"Way to young for your coach."
Drew laughed," Kinda figured. Does he play?"
"Yeah, but he wanted to sit out." Troy said
"Oh." Drew said
Chad,Drew,and Troy all went to one basket and started shooting free throws when Gabriella walked into the gymnasium and spotted Troy and Drew she stood there in shock after 5 min. when Troy noticed her. Troy waved his hand and Gabriella waved back.
"HEY GABRIELLA!" Chad yelled
The whole team turned and looked at Gabriella, Gabriella blushed and waved to Chad
"COME OVER HERE!" Chad yelled
Gabriella walked over to Troy and Drew,"Hey guys." Gabriella said
"Hey." Drew said making a shot
"Came to play?" Chad asked
"Me,play yeah right I'll pass I'll just go sit on the benches." Gabriella said
"Oh, come on just one shot please." Drew begged
"Oh, ok just one." Gabriella said and took the ball from his hands,"Now if I don't make this shot its not my fault." Gabriella said while bending her legs and arms
"Don't worry I'll make sure Chad doesnt laugh." Drew said
Gabriella made her shot missing the basket,"Opps"
Chad bursted out laughing
"CHAD!" Gabriella said hitting his arm
"Oww." Chad said rubbing his arm
"Well thats what you get" Gabriella said sticking her tongue out
Troy laughed a little
"Well,enough basketball for me I'm gonna go sit down."Gabriella said walking towards the benches
-----
"Hey agian." Josh said to Gabriella as she made herself comfortable 2 benches down from him
Gabriella looked at Josh,"Oh, hey" Gabriella repsonded
"Nice shot, over there." Josh said
Gabriella laughed," Why thank you, I've been practicing as you can tell." Gabriella said jokingly
"I can." Josh said with a slight laugh
"So you play?" Gabriella asked trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah, but I'm not in the mood to play it's winter break I don't wanna waste it by playing basketball I can do that at home." Josh said
Gabriella laughed," I get what you mean I wouldn't want to either."
"So how do you know Troy?" Josh asked moving down towards Gabriella
"Oh,uhh" Gabriella thought of something to say,"Uhhh we did a musical together, no biggie." Gabriella said
"Oh, Troy musical intresting."Josh said grinning
"Hahah yeah, what about you how do you know Troy?" Gabriella asked
"Ha, I was his first friend in New York." Josh said,"no biggie." Josh mocked Gabriella,Gabriella laughed,"So you sing?" Josh asked
"Yeah, just church choir and last year's winter musical." Gabriella said
"Oh, that's cool, wanna sing a song?" Josh asked
"Like a duet?"Gabriella questioned Josh's question
"Yeah, why not I have a little Ricky Martin in me." Josh laughed
"Hahah the singing or dancing?" Gabriella laughed
"Both, mostly singing." Josh said
"Sure, why not, best place to go singing is the auditorium, wanna go there?" Gabriella asked
"Sure, just let me go tell Troy." Josh said while getting up.
"Ok, I'll wait outside the gym." Gabriella said getting up,"But first I gotta tell someone else to before they get suspicious." Gabriella walked over to the coach and told her to tell Drew were she was going and that she would meet him after practice.After Gabriella talked to the coach she walked outside the gymnasium
"Hey man, uh me and Gabriella are gonna go to the auditorium if thats ok I'll be back before practice is over." Josh said
"Why, are you going to the auditorium?" Troy asked
"Sing, I might show off some of my Ricky Martin moves." Josh joked
"Yeah, that's fine just not the Ricky Martin moves don't scare her." Troy said
"Cool." Josh said leaving to meet Gabriella outside.
Troy stood there remembering the first time him and Gabriella sang together I mean come on who could forget
-Flashback-(a/n:i dont know how to describe this one cause of course you all watched it so im just putting the lyrics)
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
Troy's flashback ended by a ball hitting his head by Chad.
"Earth to Troy you there?" Chad yelled in Troy's ear
"YES IM HERE CHAD!" Troy yelled back and laughed
Chad rubbed his ears," Oh, god I think I'm deaf."
-Auditorium-
Gabriella looked around to see if the coast was clear to make sure no one was there to hear them sing, ecspecially Sharpay
"What are you doing?" Josh asked
"Making sure no one's around." Gabriella said
"Why? The best part of singing is having people watch." Josh said getting up on the stage.
"Yeah, I know but theres this one particular person that I really don't want to hear us sing." Gabriella said following Josh up the stairs to the stage
"Oh, and who might that be?" Josh asked
"Sharpay Evans" Gabriella said with a sigh
"Oh, why not?" Josh asked
"You, know for a guy that looks like he doesnt ask so many questions you sure do." Gabriella said laughing," Wait here I'll get the microphones." Gabriella said walking to the side of the stage and grabbed to microphones and came back.
"Now, Miss.Montez what would you like to sing?"Josh asked into the microphone
"Hmmm, what about you sing me one of your Ricky Martin songs." Gabriella laughed," And if you do I'll sing you a song."
"Deal." Josh said,"I'll sing...Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney."
"Ok, Beautiful Soul it is." Gabriella said," O wait." Gabriella ran to the side of the stage agian and came back with a radio on a cart full of CD's, Gabriella inserted Jesse McCartney's album and pressed track 4(a/n: i do not own the Jesse McCartney CD so I don't know what track its on.),and presed play," Ok Josh sing your heart out,"Gabriella laughed and went off the stage and made herself comfortable on one of the auditorium chairs.
-Josh Sings-
"WOW! That was amazing!" Gabriella said running up onto the stage," If you came to East High and tried out for the musical you'd probably make it."
Josh laughed,"Thanks, but now its your turn to sing!"Josh said with a grin,"What song will you be singing?"
"A guy sings it so yeah the words might be wierd, but I'll change them up." Gabriella said and walked over to the radio,"Now please be a gentleman and take your seat." Gabriella joked while gettng a stool from the back of the stage setting it where Josh was standing
"Yes,ma'm" Josh said walking off the stage and sat were Gabriella sat.
"Ahem." Gabriella laughed and sat on the stool, after a few sec. the song started...
-song playing If You're Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield-
"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with" Gabriella sang
the whole entire time Gabriella was singing Josh sat there in awe, he felt like he was falling in love with her just from her singing
"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my husband(a/n: it actually said wife but i changed it.)
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life" Gabriella sang closing her eyes imaging something good to go along with the song
As Gabriella sang, Chad, Troy, and Drew all entered the auditorium,Troy stared at Gabriella and so did Drew, while Chad was off in his own little world playing with his basketball.
"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I" Gabriella finished up and opened her eyes," Oh, god." Gabriella mummered and blushed
"Wow." Josh said breathless,"That was, wow" Josh said trying to think of words to describe Gabriella's singing
Gabriella laughed and turned off her mic."Thanks,I guess."
Drew , and Troy clapped with amazement, Troy never knew that Gabriella could sound like that by herself, while Drew on the other hand was just amazed.
"I'm glad you guys liked the song." Gabriella said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah can we go I'm hungry!" Chad said ruining the moment
"Man Chad, why'd you have to go and do that?" Troy said
"Do what?" Chad asked
"Ruin the moment, did you not hear Gabriella?" Troy responded
"I did, so did Drew and Josh, can we please go now?" Chad begged
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Troy said
"Oh, Gabriella wanna come?" Drew asked
"Uhmmm, I'll just uhh catch up with you guys later, I gotta go to Taylor's after all I did skip practice." Gabriella said putting away the stuff
"Ok, then Josh you coming?"Troy asked
"Uhhhh, nah I'm not that hungry." Josh responded
"I am so can we PLEASE go?" Chad said putting a hand over his stomach
"Aww then you'll be by yourself." Gabriella said walking off the stage and walked towards the group of guys.
"No I won-"
"And plus you don't even know your way around here." Gabriella said cutting Josh off,"If you want you can come with me and watch me do what I do best!" Gabriella said
"Ehhh, i dont know is it ok with you Troy?" Josh asked
"Yeah, I dont care just have him home before dark." Troy joked
"Sure thing." Gabriella said," Uhmm Drew I'll call you later..." Gabriella said
"Ok, cool, now lets go before Chad has a heart attack." Drew said
They all walked out of the auditorium
"Oh, crud." Gabriella said as they all were half way to the cars.
"WHAT NOW?" Chad yelled
Gabriella had a scared look," Uhhh umm uhhh umm, I left my jacket in the auditorium" Gabriella said pointing back at the school
"Oh, well who cares?" Chad said walking towards his car
"Jeez Chad way to be selfish" Drew said,"Here I'll go with you to go get it." Drew said walking towards the school with Gabriella
As Drew and Gabriella got into the auditorium Drew looked around the stage and found no sight of Gabriella's jacket
"Uhh, Gabriella are you sure your jackets in here? Cause I don't see it." Drew said
"Chill, Drew I got it!" Gabriella said holding up her jacket
"Oh I knew that." Drew said walking up to Gabriella and holding her
Gabriella giggled,"Sure you did." Gabriella said
Drew laughed,"I did." Drew kissed Gabriella
As they both were kissing each other someone entered the auditorium and Gabriella and Drew let go of each other before anyone could see them
"Did you guy--"
