Chapter 7

Recap

"I had so much fun! Goodnight and sweet dreams Gabi!" Troy said kissing her hand. He had no idea what possessed him to do such a thing.

"You know, only my closest friends call me Gabi or any other nicknames." She giggled.

"So does that mean I'm one of your closest friend? If you don't want me to call you Gabi I completely understand." Troy said and Gabriella shook her head.

"Its fine. Goodnight Troy! Mind giving me a boost up this wall?" Gabriella asked and Troy chuckled.

"Not at all!" He said and lifted her up to the wall.

End of Recap

Troy drove home with the widest smile on his face. He felt great and nothing can ever ruin his day.

"Gabriella" He thought as he parked his new car in Chad's driveway. As soon as he opened the door 5 faces again, snapped at him.

"So much for a lunch Troy!" Jason said.

"You've been gone for hours and you didn't bother to answer your phone." Chad said with an annoyed face.

"Wipe your grin off your face!" Sharpay demanded.

"What's with you?" Kelsi asked.

"Are you ok, Troy?" Zeke said examing Troy.

Troy didn't seem to notice them at all. He just had this smile plastered on his face then he just walked up the stairs without saying word.

"What is wrong with Troy?" Sharpay asked surprised.

"He seemed like he won the lottery." Chad said.

"Or something better." Kelsi said as Troy went back down.

"Hey guys! Where were you?" Troy asked innocently while the other's jaws dropped right on the ground.

"You didn't hear us before? You didn't see us? We were right in front of you when you walked in." Chad yelled and Troy stared at them weirdly.

"I swear I didn't see you." Troy chuckled and head to the kitchen.

"Troy you have to tell us right now what's going on!" Sharpay insisted.

"I met this amazing girl! She is perfect! You're gonna love her guys!" Troy said and his worried friends' faces finally broke into a smile.

"Finally our Troy Bolton has a girlfriend." Chad said and Troy looked down.

"Actually I haven't asked her out yet." Troy answered.

"You only have one week left before we go back to Albuquerque. Better plan stuff." Sharpay said eagerly.

"I bet she'll still say yes. Every girl in this entire planet would go crazy just to go out with you." Chad chuckled but Troy shook his head.

"This one's different. She has expectations." Troy said.

"So when are we gonna meet this girl of yours?" Jason asked curiously and everyone's eyes lit up in excitement.

"I'm not sure cause she's not really allowed to go out alone." Troy explained and he guessed that he kinda lost everyone there.

"You mean like without friends and stuff?" Chad asked.

"Yeah something like that. She have to have bodyguards with her everywhere." Troy said and everyone nodded but didn't really have the information sink in properly.

"So you mean you have body guards with you when you ate lunch?" Kelsi asked.

"That's the thing. There wasn't any guards because--" Before Troy could finish his explanation, Sharpay cut him off.

"You trespass to her house!! And then you guys went together without anyone knowing!" Sharpay said being really smart. Everyone in the room were shocked.

"Is that true Troy?" Zeke asked with interest.

"Maybe…" Troy answered unsure and slightly embarrassed.

"Wait!!!!" Kelsi said stopping all the murmuring around the room.

"You said body guards? Why does the girl need body guards?" Kelsi asked curiously and everyone grabbed a drink but was still looking at Troy.

"What's this girl's name anyway?" Chad asked as he took a drink from his glass and everyone followed. So everyone in the room were practically drinking from their glasses in front of Troy.

"Gabriella Montez." He answered and everyone accidentally spat their drinks right on Troy's shirt. ABSOLUTELY everyone did it at the same time. Troy groaned and quickly wiped his shirt.

"YUCK! Guys!" He whispered loudly but everyone ignored him.

"Gabriella Montez? As in the daughter of Isabella Montez and the most famous doctor?" Sharpay said completely shocked. Sure their boyfriends are Wild Cat players but Gabriella Montez is the daughter of her most favourite actress.

"Yeah I accidentally met her when two girls were stalking me." Troy chuckled and everyone was impressed somehow.

"When are we gonna meet her?" Kelsi asked excitedly.

"I can't wait!" Sharpay said clapping her hands.

"I'm gonna call her and ask her if she have anything plan tomorrow. Its Sunday so she's probably free." Troy said and ran upstairs.

--------------------------------

Gabriella jumped on her bed and just stared at the teddy bear and her ring that Troy gave her.

"Troy is such a cutie! He's such a gentleman too." Gabriella whispered and rubbed her ring.

"It's a shooting star." Gabriella said quietly while looking at the ring.

After a few seconds, her phone rang. She groaned and grabbed her phone. As soon as she saw the caller ID, her frowned turned upside down.

"Hey Troy!" Gabriella said enthusiastically.

"Hey Gabi! I was wondering if we can hang out tomorrow and meet my friends." Troy explained.

"Sure what time?" She asked.

"Around 11:30am?" He said hopefully.

"Crap I can't. I have to go to church." She said a bit disappointed.

"Oh ok." He said trying to hide his disappointment.

"You can go to church and watch me sing with the choir?" She offered and Troy's face snapped up.

"Cool! What time and what church?" He asked curiously. He haven't been in church for a VERY long time. He didn't particularly like church (No offence to anyone. I'm catholic too so yeah) but if Gabriella asked for it, he will sure do it.

"It starts at 11am and finishes at 12pm. Its at St Mary's (Made that up)." She explained and Troy nodded on the other line.

"I'll see you there!" Troy said and both of them hung up.

The next morning, Gabriella dressed up really nicely. She wanted to look great in front of Troy and his friends.
"Taylor are you going church today?" Gabriella asked on the phone.

"Sorry I can't. My mum is kinda sick today." Taylor said apologetically.

"Its ok. Tell your mum to get better for me." Gabriella said then hung up.

At exactly 11am, Gabriella arrived at the church and quietly ran to the choir people. Luckily, in there church they didn't really let people stumble over a celebrity or famous people. They still respect the place.

"Where's Troy?" Gabriella whispered to herself as she looked around the place. Most of the time, the mass starts late so she didn't need to worry about not being there at exactly 11am.

-----------------------------------

Troy and the gang were all driving to the church, hurrying up. The reason they were late is Sharpay because it took her forever to apply her make up on.

"If Gabriella gets angry with me, I'm gonna kill Sharpay!" Troy mumbled in his car. Finally they arrived and Troy sat in the middle of the church.

"Where's Gabriella Montez?" Sharpay whispered.

"I don't know. She said that she's gonna be in the choir." Troy said as they all sat on a one bench.

"Oh I see her!" Kelsi said pointing at a girl who was looking at Troy.

"Yeah that's her!" Troy said with a smile then waved at Gabriella.

They were now in the middle of the mass and all Troy did was stare at Gabriella as she sing. Somehow, he could hear her amazing voice perfectly.

"Stop staring at her before she melts!" Zeke and Sharpay said exactly the same time.

"What?.. Oh right." Troy said blushing. He then looked around and found Chad sleeping beside him.

"Chad!" He whispered loudly and quickly elbowed him.

"Where's the fire??!" Chad yelled out and stood up. Troy was so embarrassed and so was the others. They started simply backing away from Chad pretending they didn't know him.

"Sit down. You're embarrassing us!" Sharpay said and glared at Chad.

"Oh right! Sorry. Please continue!" Chad said pointing at the priest.

Troy put his hands over his face blushing badly because of his best friend.

"Chad sit your ass down before I murder you!" Sharpay exclaimed quietly.

"This is a church Sharpay. You shouldn't be talking about those kinda of stuff in the house of God." Chad scolded Sharpay while shaking his head with a disappointed face.

"Just please sit down!!" Troy dragged Chad down to his seat and he finally settled down.

After the mass, Troy and the gang walked towards Gabriella. Zeke had to hold Sharpay to keep her from jumping up and down like a kangaroo.

"Hey Gabi!" Troy greeted shyly.

"Hey Troy and hello everyone!" Gabriella smiled at them and they smiled back especially Sharpay.

"Gabriella Montez I can't believe I'm meeting you right now!!" Sharpay exclaimed and Gabriella couldn't help but giggle.

"I'm Sharpay by the way and this is my boyfriend Zeke." Sharpay said shaking Gabriella's hand.

"Nice meeting you!" Gabriella said politely.

"You know, I recognise you guys. Are you from Wild Cat or something?" Gabriella asked curiously.

"Yeah we are. I'm Jason and this is my girlfriend Kelsi." Jason said pointing at Kelsi and at the same time shaking Gabriella's hand. After their introductions, they decided to head to Gabriella's mansion.

"Whoa your mansion is as big as Troy's!" Chad said and everyone nodded their heads.

"So, is your mom home?" Sharpay asked excited.

"Oh no she's filming a movie. Sorry." Gabriella said apologetically as they went inside the mansion.

"Oh ok." Sharpay was a little disappointed.

"You sing really good out there Gabi." Troy whispered to Troy.

"Really? Thanks. How could you hear me though?" Gabriella asked with an amused smile.

"I don't know but I can." Troy shrugged. All of them were looking around the place and the gang purposely left Troy and Gabriella together.

"By the way, sorry about Chad." Troy apologised remembering the embarrassing moment in the church.

"Don't worry about it. It was kinda fun to watch him." Gabriella giggled remembering that moment.
