I can't believe how quick this story is going! It's unbelievable. I'm not really sure how long the story is going to be actually, I never really estimate them, I just let the chapters take me to where it needs to go! Anyway, you've all waited patiently so hear is Chapter 11.

Chapter 11 – The Most Unlikely Couple

"GABRIELLA, 'Troy growled pulling away from her passionate embrace, she was still crying pathetically as she tried to kiss him, "Stop it, look it's not that no – one wants you Brie, it's just that…ah…ah…don't do that." Troy said breathlessly, she was trying unsuccessfully to remove his shirt.

He yanked himself away from her and watched her stumble backwards a bit, "Brie, why did you do this?" He asked Gabriella, watching her slump back on the chair.

"I…I don't know, I was…kind of…upset…and…and…Papa's…favourite Spanish…wine was…just…I've never drunk…before." Gabriella chuckled as she tried to grab something, though Troy wasn't sure what she was doing.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't come over earlier, but my father he wouldn't let me." Troy said awkwardly.

Gabriella giggled and stood again, she slowly made her way over to him trying to keep her balance which didn't really go too well, she fell into his arms and held onto him tight.

"I'm sorry too sexy, we could've had some fun." Gabriella slurred and Troy shuddered completely turned on when her hand lowered down his body.

He pushed her hands away quickly.

"This isn't you Brie; don't be like those other girls. It's the drink talking and your desire. Don't do it, if you do I won't be able to stop you." Troy said, he was starting to weaken under her resolve to have sex.

"Then don't fight. I've seen you with all those che…cheap cheer people…um leaders, why do you give…into them so easily?" Gabriella demanded clinging to him tight.

"I was different then, I don't want you to be the same. I want our first time to be…special. You know, worth the wait." Troy said.

He saw Gabriella slump forward in defeat, she began to cry, real tears. She buried her head into his chest; he wrapped his arms around her and looked down on her determinedly.

"Please Gabriella, it's supposed to be a special moment and don't do it when you're drunk, I don't want you to forget something that special. You will forget in the morning. Please." Troy pleaded.

She looked up at him softly, "Can you…at least help me…get…changed out of... this trash?" Gabriella murmured into his chest.

He nodded and picked her up, he carried her upstairs and sat her down on her bed, he removed the sexy lingerie with trembling hands and went to her draw to pull out her pyjamas. He felt like History was repeating itself, for he had been doing this only a few weeks ago when Malcolm had attacked Gabriella.

He sat her down in her bed and heard her giggle and mumble things like, "Aren't forks strange?" This was quite comical when he heard her mutter it.

He pulled the blankets over her and watched her hold out her arms to him.

"Will you come and hold me?" She muttered.

Troy moved away from the bed and went and sat in a large chair. He pulled a blanket over him and watched Gabriella's soft smile turn to a forlorn frown.

"No Brie, I'm not sleeping in the bed with you when you're in that state. You tried to seduce me downstairs, imagine what you'd be like in a bed." Troy said sternly.

Gabriella lay back down but her eyes remained locked on Troy.

"Goodnight Brie." He whispered and watched her eyes droop off into a warm gentle sleep, before he too could feel himself succumb to sleep.

WHEN Gabriella woke in the morning her head was thumping, she couldn't remember much only that she had foolishly opened a bottle of her father's best Spanish wine and…well that was it really.

She slowly walked downstairs, gosh even walking hurt her head and when she stepped into the kitchen she screamed, there was Troy wearing an apron and cooking. He turned and smiled at her, she chuckled timidly and walked over and kissed his cheek.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

"Oh please, 'Gabriella moaned holding her head, "Don't talk so loud."

Troy placed a cup filled with black water.

"What the heck is that?" Gabriella groaned picking up and smelling it, she nearly heaved smelling it.

"Just black coffee, no milk, no sugar." Troy said brightly.

"Yuk! I don't even drink regular coffee." She said looking degusted as she took a sip.

"Serve you right, getting drunk." Troy said walking back over to the cooker and frying some eggs.

"Troy…I was humiliated in front of the entire school. I was humiliated by the school. I was depressed." Gabriella said.

"I know baby, but that's all going to change. Everyone knows about us and I think its better that way." Troy said softly scooping the eggs onto two plates.

"Its so unfair Troy, I was the one who got the worst end of it yesterday." Gabriella mumbled.

"Look Brie, I know it was upsetting yesterday but no – ones going to hurt you anymore. I promise." Troy exclaimed.

Gabriella looked up from her cup, her head thumping like a marching band and said very groggily, "You…so you don't want to split up?"

Troy looked puzzled and turned around, he came and sat beside her and pulled her hand towards him and held it softly.

"Why would you think that?"

"I don't know, it's just, after everything happened yesterday, you know calling me a virgin and all." Gabriella mumbled.

Troy laughed and kissed her hand, "I don't want to break up with you Gabriella, I've told you already, I love you." Troy said and that was the first time that Gabriella believed Troy Bolton when he told her he loved her.

He stood up and walked over to the cooker, he turned it off and brought back two plates, he placed them on the table and Gabriella smiled up at him.

"Eggs, bacon, chips and beans." He said softly and pushed a plate of toast towards Gabriella too.

"You're sweet, you know but I'm not going to eat this, hung over and all." She said guiltily/

"Well eat what you can baby, we've got school soon and I refuse for you to be late." He said determinedly and Gabriella picked up her folk and attempted to eat the delicious yet disgusting meal.

She looked up from her meal and said, "I did some bad things last night didn't I?"

Troy mused for a moment chewing on a mouthful of bacon, "Well not exactly bad but not exactly innocent either!"

THE couple arrived in East High at half past seven, a little late but that didn't matter. Gabriella hadn't eaten much but she had enjoyed what she eaten. She could feel peoples eyes Troy and her and the heat and embarrassment filled her as much as the drink had last night.

She was absolutely appalled when Troy had explained everything she had done last night; she had really wished she hadn't asked it was too embarrassing. Troy had laughed when he had told her but she had simply buried her head in her arms, feeling very red in the cheeks.

Gabriella could feel peoples eyes on them even harder cold, eyes that were filled with an aching and cruel passion. She felt Troy's hand in hers and he squeezed it tight, no – one dare say a word for fear of Troy. He would definitely hurt them if they said anything. She moved closer to him when she saw Malcolm smile viciously at her, suddenly Troy yanked his arm from hers and he stormed towards Malcolm.

"No don't Troy, he's not worth it." She said quickly, he had nearly killed Malcolm last time; she didn't want him to be responsible for it.

"I want to feel the pleasure of murdering him!" Troy growled, his hand was wrapped around Malcolm's neck and once again he was squeezing tighter and tighter.

"Troy, 'Gabriella said touching his arm sweetly, "You're better than this. Don't do it." She whispered.

Teenagers were starting to gather around to see Troy deal with Malcolm, Malcolm was starting to very slowly go red, being cut off from oxygen could do a lot to you.

"You hurt her, 'Troy said through clenched teeth, "I said never to look at her again!"

"Troy don't." Gabriella said more forcefully.

"He deserves what he gets." Troy said loudly, he squeezed tighter on Malcolm's neck making a strange wheezing noise from his chest.

"If you love me Troy, if you care about me, you'll stop." He felt his girlfriend whisper but many around them heard her say it.

The crowd hung on Troy's actions and they all gasped when he reluctantly dropped Malcolm to the floor. He kicked him hard which everyone felt for him and he grabbed Gabriella's hand and walked through the middle of the crowd. He stopped in front of them and everyone listened.

"Anyone and I mean anyone hurts her and you're dead. I'll take on the lot of you if I have to but if you dare touch her you'll die!" He snarled.

They all watched as they walk away, Troy slipped his arm around Gabriella's waist and they all kept their eyes on them astounded, they were, a most unlikely couple.
