Chapter 13

((Taylor's POV))

I called Chad during lunch, ready to prove my theory.

"Hey baby," he answered.

"How'd you know it was me?" I asked, "Or were you expected someone else?" I teased.

"Yeah, I was expecting Monique Coleman," he teased right back.

"Honey, you don't have a chance," I giggled.

"Ouch, that one hurt," he said, "I might have to make you pay for that." I definitely heard a flirtatious tone in his voice.

"Well, before we talk about that, I have a question fore you," I started.

"Sure, what's up?" he asked.

"What was the girl's screen name that Troy got hooked up with?" I asked.

"I don't know, Tay, I never thought to ask," he said, guilt evident in his voice. "But I'll call Troy and ask."

"Thanks Chad, call me as soon as you find out," I said.

"Okay Tay," he said. I knew that he knew better than to ask until he had information.

"Love you," I said.

"Love you more," he said before hanging up.

I giggled as I hung up the phone. Just then, I looked up and saw Gabriella walk…or more like stumble into my room.

"Gabi!" I said in alarm, "What happened?!"

She collapsed into one of the chairs.

"I kissed him."

((Gabriella's POV (((Earlier))) ))

His hand was still on my cheek. I looked into his blue eyes and I couldn't stop myself, even if I had wanted to. But I didn't. And that scared the crap out of me. What was I getting into? Would we become a couple again? Would I find out he hasn't changed?

Then my mind flashed back to what Taylor said. "He's a grown man, with a five year old son, I might add, no one can have a five year old son and believe everything they see or here."

I closed my eyes. Please be right Taylor. Please be-

I immediately stopped thinking anything bad that might happen, because in the middle of my stressful thought, I felt a pair of lips on mine. The lips seemed foreign, but I knew they weren't. I was kissing Troy Bolton.

It was amazing. Not just because he was a great kisser (because he is), but because I felt better than I had in a long time. Better than when I graduated college, better when I got my first job, better than when I found out I was James's godmother, better than all of that. It was a feeling I knew I had experienced before, because it felt familiar.

Troy's arms snaked around my hips, and this was when I knew I should pull away, but I couldn't. It was too amazing, and I knew the minute I stopped kissing him that I would become stressed, and I also knew I would start crying the minute he was out of earshot. I desperately didn't want that to happen.

Finally, we had to pull away, only because the need for air was at a maximum. The minute I pulled away, I started to think clearly, which was the last thing I wanted to be doing, because the minute I started thinking clearly, the minute my heart started to drop.

"Troy, I-"

I didn't have a chance to say anything else, because his lips were on mine, giving me that same amazing feeling. It was still sweet, but there was a hint of passion in it, and as the kiss went on, there was more passion.

Stop Gabriella! What are you getting yourself into??

I pulled away, "Troy, we can't!" I said.

"What do you mean?" he asked, and I could tell he was hurt.

"You just got off a divorce, and I haven't dated for nine years, we are both on rebound!" I exclaimed, walking over to my desk.

"But I-"

"Troy, please…let's just…leave it while we still can…" I said, feeling tears drip down my cheeks.

Next thing I knew, I felt two strong arms wrap around me, "I know you don't want that Brie," he whispered.

I pushed away from him, "Yes I do," I murmured.

Troy looked at me intently. I knew he didn't believe me.

"Okay," he said. "If that's what you really want, then we won't go farther than friends." I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Thank you," I whispered.

"See you later Gabriella," he said.

"Bye Troy," I cried.

I heard his footsteps fade and collapsed into my chair. What have I done?


More cliffhangers! Doncha love me?? (Ducks from flying objects)

Okay, Okay, sorry!!
