Chapter 8
The last four days of Christmas Vacation seemed to pass by in a blur, and soon Gabriella and Troy and everybody else was back in school again. Gabriella's obnoxious friend Jenna was teasing her about not making out with her boyfriend yet. "It's been what three weeks that you guys have been dating and you haven't made out with him yet?" She asked Gabriella for what seemed like the hundredth time. "That is SO sad! Usually by the second date the guy and I would've already made out!" Jenna said dramatically. Gabriella sighed and then walked off to class. It was in her class that she decided today at lunch, things were going to change.
Thirty minutes later the bell rang. Gabriella ran over to Troy's locker and just as he was grabbing his lunch, she grabbed him by the hand and said through gritted teeth. "C'mon, I have something I want to show you." And then she practically dragged him outside and running to the back of the school to a patch of trees a few yards from the school, so they wouldn't get in trouble for PDA's. "What did you want to show me?" Troy said looking around curiously. "This." Gabriella said and then walked up to him and kissed him. They broke apart and he said "Oh…Oh!" And then he moved over and started to really kiss her.
They stayed that way for the rest of the lunch period, and even to the beginning of Free Period. A few minutes later they broke apart when they heard a rustling in the trees. "Troy! Gabriella! What are you guys doing in here? Weren't we going to have practice during Free Period?" Chad asked Troy curiously. It took Troy a few minutes to answer because he was breathing so heavily from the intense kissing session that he and Gabriella were having. Finally he was able to talk. "Oh yeah man, I totally forgot, I got kind of distracted." Troy said chuckling. Chad looked at them confused. "What do you mean?" Chad asked him and then he noticed that they were both breathing heavily, and he also noticed that Gabriella's makeup was smeared. "Oh!" Chad said suddenly and then began to look devious. "Skipping school to make out huh?" Chad said chuckling. "I'll leave you guys to it. See ya after school man at practice!" Chad yelled as he was walking away. Troy chuckled shaking his head. "Chad, he's a real piece of work, he is." Gabriella giggled and then looked shy. "Well, uh, um, I should probably get back inside to do some homework, so I'm not swamped tonight." She said shyly. "Yeah that's a good idea, I should do mine too, since they aren't expecting me at Free Period practice. Troy said. Gabriella smiled and they both walked into the school.
Finally the last bell of the day rang, signaling the end of the day. Gabriella and her friends all met around Taylor's locker, as usual. Gabriella looked happy, because now when Jenna harasses her about not making out with Troy yet, she can happily correct her.
