Troy's Walls – Chapter Six.

By bomchickawahwahx3

Sorry for taking so long with this chapter! I've been really busy this week; But I'll try to post the next chapters up as soon as I can! Here's chapter six:

Riiiing! Riiiiing! Ugh, the telephone. Who dare interrupt my beauty sleep?

"Hello?"

"Ohmigosh, Gabby, you have to tell me everything that happened on your date with Troy!," squeals Sharpay.

I sighed. You gotta love that girl. "Everything?" I say, remembering what Troy had told me before our first date.

"EVERYTHING. I want to know everything that went on during your date. Did you guys kiss? Is he a good kisser? Did he give you any of his drawings? Are you guys going to have a second date? Tell me!" Sharpay screams.

I pull the phone away from my ear to prevent myself from going deaf. Jeez, that girl needs to lay off any and all food that contain sugar.

"Well, first things first. You need to calm down and breathe. Ok, now that you've done that, I'll tell you what happened. He cooked me dinner, sang to me, and yes, we kissed." I smile knowing that I'm torturing her by not going into detail.

"That's all you're gonna tell me!? I want details," she says.

"Ok, well, first of, he looked absolutely gorgeous. So we sit down to eat and I learn things about him. He starts to get uncomfortable with the convo so we go to sit on the couch. He tells me to wait and he comes back with his guitar. Did you know that he could play, really well? Almost as good as me. AND, he could sing! I didn't even know he could do all that. Anyway, he plays my favorite song and after that we kiss. Now let me tell you, this kiss was no ordinary kiss. It wasn't one of those in your-face-hurry-up-and-stick-your-tongue-down-my-throat-and-give-you-no-time-to-breathe kind of kiss. This one was absolutely perfect. My heart stopped beating. Fireworks exploded. Time stood still. It made me think that maybe he could be the one for me. Is that possible? To find that one person at the age of 18? ..Sharpay?"

"Wow, I wish I was you. Hmm…about finding that special someone…I do think it's possible. Love never comes at one specific time. It comes at that special time, that one perfect moment." She says.

I nod my head and realize that she's right. I also realize one other thing.

"Sharpay," I say.

"Yes?"

"I think I love him."

"You what!?" Sharpay can hardly believe what I've just said.

I can hardly believe myself too. Me, in love? Not possible; but that's the least of my worries right now. You see, I forgot that Troy can hear through the walls. He just heard me pour out my heart. He just heard me say that I love him. Oh my.

Drip drip. Drip drip. The sound of water dripping from the faucet in my bathroom begins to bug me as I lay in bed thinking about what I had just said to Sharpay. Could I really be in love? With Troy?

I roll over and notice that the clock reads 4:30 AM. It's been nearly 3 hours since I got off the phone with Sharpay and I really need to get some sleep. Could Troy really have heard through the walls? Was he awake? Is he thinking about it too?

Suddenly, a thought crosses my mind. I reach over toward my dresser and pull out my fat purple planner. I search through a pile of notes until I find what I'm looking for. The paper is wrinkly and crumpled but I can still make out the numbers. With shaky fingers I dial the unfamiliar number.

It rings once. Then twice. Finally a third time and I'm about to hang up when a very sleepy male answers.

"Hello?"

With a shaky voice I manage "Umm…hi…Troy?"

"Gabriella? Can't sleep either?"

"Yeah…that's kind of why I called you; for the reason I can't sleep."

"Sure, but I have a feeling I know why you can't sleep."

"Oh you do? And what exactly is the reason?"

"The same reason why I can't sleep."

A/N: Please review! :D For those of you who were wondering what Troy and his sister were talking about in chapter five, he was telling her about how he thought he was falling for Gabriella, but he felt so wrong about it, because of his last girlfriend. His last girlfriend died, so to him, it felt like he was replacing her with Gabriella, but he also couldn't help the way he felt about her.

&To all the readers, thanks so much for giving this story a chance! I really appreciate it :)
