Dance and Basketball

Chapter 14: Rooftop Romance

By reading the title, I am assuming that you believe that this is the chapter where they get back together, and I won't say nothin'! Nothin' I tell you, nothin'!!!!! So yeah, I'll shut up now and start to write…

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep. Slam!!! Grunt! Usual morning for Gabriella. She peered at her alarm clock. 5:30, time to go and take a shower, and get ready in her new style. She grabbed a towel and ran to the shower before her mom could even walk out her bedroom door. She immediately locked the door and turned on the shower.

"Gabi, open up!" Her mom called, while banging on the door in frustration.

"You snooze, you lose…" Gabriella's muffled voice replied.

"Don't waste all the hot water!!!" Her mom yelled back.

"I won't!

"Anyways, I have a surprise…" She said tauntingly. She knew how much Gabriella loved morning surprises. Gabriella put conditioner in her hair and started to wash her body as quick as possible. She threw a towel on her body, dashed to her room, and put on her outfit. She put a hair band in her hair. Red, White and Gold, Wildcat colors. Her white tee-shirt complemented her red skinny jeans and white hair band. She wore gold bracelets and red heel- sandals. She rushed down the stairs and saw her mom in the kitchen.

"You look cute this morning Mija."

"Thanks, so what's this surprise you talking about?" she said jumping to the subject. Her mom threw a blindfold over her eyes. She led her to the garage and turned on the light. She took off the blindfold and Gabriella screamed. A silver BMW M5 was parked in the middle of their two car garage. Her mom gave her the keys.

"Oh my god!!! Thank you so, so much mom!!!" Gabriella said as she gave her mom a hug.

"Hurry now, you need to get to school!" she said as Gabriella ran inside her new car. She turned it on and backed out of the driveway. She flipped the radio on and Drive by Vanessa Hudgens, came on…

I don't claim to know it all
I've had some wins I've had some falls
The road is long and time is short
I don't wanna spend too much time in thought
I don't intend to play it safe
I've gotta move to find my place
I wasn't born for small talk crowds
I know what I want and its not in this town
I don't wanna just survive
I'm gonna hit the road I'm gonna drive

[Chorus
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive

Everything I said I meant, nothing comes by accident
I'll change my name, change my face
To want something better is no disgrace
I'm just following the signs
Keep my eyes ahead I'm gonna drive

I've come a long way
I see the light of day
I think I've found the answers I'm looking for
And there ain't no reason
For turning back, its just one life
I'll play the hand I've got
I'm gonna drive

She parked in the East High Students Lot and got out and locked her car. She met up with Kelsi, Taylor, and Sharpay and she told them about her new car. The were very excited to ride in it when they went home. Troy and Amy walked off the bus, side by side, and Troy noticed Gabriella laughing like she did with him. All stupid Amy noticed was how Troy was practically drooling over Gabriella. She smacked Troy in the arm and they walked inside. As the first bell rang, they went inside and said goodbye as they headed for their lockers. Gabriella ran to hers to only notice that every guy, and I mean, every guy was either wolf whistling, staring, or checking her out. As Troy looked at her, she winked at him as swayed her hips teasingly. The cheerleaders were ticked, and I mean really ticked. Like how a bull gets when a stupid idiot says, "Toro toro ole'!" and waves a red flag ticked. Amy walked over to Gabriella and gave her a slight shove.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy-" Gabriella began.

"No, you listen to me, if your planning to get Troy back, don't try. He's off limits territory."

"The only reason he was going out with you was because he got lonely and would date any tramp, wait, cross tramp, whore, that would agree to." Gabriella said defensively as many people, "Oh!"'d. Amy wanted to slap her, but she remained cool.

"So then why did he date you?" She shot back.

"Let's see…" she said, while putting a finger on her chin as she was pretending to think,

"Because, I'm nice, caring, giving, smart, pretty…"

"Please… that's he stuff that nobody matters about anymore…"

"When was the last time you thought of someone else before yourself?" Gabriella asked, Amy gave a look of shock.

"Huh? Well?" Amy still remained mute.

"That's what I thought, you only give a care for yourself, I mean, when was the last time you told your parents you loved them? When was the last time you actually stopped and helped someone in need? When was the last time you looked around to see all the people that you make miserable?" Amy still remained quieter than a nun. She turned and walked away as many people cheered. Someone even started singing, "Dingong the witch is dead! Which old witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding-dong the Wicked Witch is dead!!!" Which made everyone laugh. She ran to homeroom and sat in her normal desk. Taylor, Kelsi, Chad, Jason, Zeke, and Sharpay cheered as she walked in like she was someone that was famous. Troy and Gabriella's eyes met. They stared for a while, and then the bell rang, causing them to snap out of their trance. Troy ripped out a piece of paper as Ms. Darbus started droning on Shakespeare. This was the fortieth time she has lectured the class about him. Troy took out his pencil and wrote something. Then he threw on Gabriella's desk,(their desks were separated by one), and Gabriella opened it. It read,

I like the way you showed Amy up like that. And you totally took the school by storm when you walked in with that outfit. I really still like you and I want to know if you'd like to meet me in the garden on the roof during Lunch.

Yours Forever,

Troy

Gabriella sighed. She reread the note and looked at Troy with a smile. She took out her favorite pen and scribbled,

I'd love to meet you in the rooftop garden during Lunch, see you there Wildcat,

Gabriella.

She tossed it over to him and he opened it. Luckily Ms. Darbus was in the back of the classroom writing on the chalkboard. Troy read, and opened his mouth in shock. She said yes, which gave a great chance of them getting back together. He smiled and they stared at each other for the rest of class.

On the Rooftop…

Gabriella hurried up the stairs to the garden. When she got up there, Troy was already waiting, when he heard her coming, his expression brightened by infinity. She sat by him and he scooted closer to her. He grabbed her hand and gave it a light squeeze. She opened her lunch box and pulled out two grapes.

"Here, catch!"

"I love this game!!!" Troy said moving back a bit. She threw the grape directly into his open mouth.

"Beautiful!"

"Yes!!" he said pumping his fist into the air. She giggled slightly. They talked about how much they missed each other.

"I was really torn up, you know…" Gabriella admitted.

"I was too, but you know something."

"What?"

"I still thought of you, even when I went out with the beast."

"Speaking of the beast, what are you going to do when she finds out that we're talking again?"

"I already dumped her."

"When?"

"After you agreed to meet me here."

"Oh, that's a bit…" Gabriella began, trying to think of the right word.

"Absolutely awesome?" he finished.

"Yeah, that's it." They stared at each other in total silence.

"I…I…" Gabriella began, but couldn't get the words out.

"Hm?" Troy said.

"I still love you Troy, and I never stopped." She blurted out, and then immediately covered her mouth. Troy looked flabbergasted She was just in as much shock as him.

"I still love you too Gabriella…" he said, he moved closer, taking her hand. Their lips met as the gang silently crept up the stairs. They saw them kissing, and whooped. Troy and Gabriella broke apart and decided that they would go out that very night to celebrate. Gabriella had the best day of her life, and nothing could ever top it…
