AN. Sorry for the long update I promise I'll be updating on a regular basis from now on, just had a few problems. Well this picks up where the story left off last time..ENJOYx

"OMG Dinner. With TROY?" Taylor literally screamed down the phone to Gabriella.

"OWwww!" Gabriella replied wincing at her screech. "Don't kill me Tay." They laughed before she continued.

"Soz, but Troy? You and Troy?"

"And our parents!"

"Good Luck!" Taylor said sarcastically.

"I need it!!" Gabriella exclamied. "And what do i wear?! I mean I gotta look good, but i don't wanna look like you know..."

"Like you actually thought about it?"

"YEAH."

"Well why are you thinking about it? It's just Troy?" Gabriella's eyes went wide at this as she repeated the same question in her head. Why was she thinking about impressing Troy? She was so lost in her thoughts she let the phone drop from her hand before picking it back up again at the sound of Taylor's voice.

"Hello...Hello Gabi?"

"Oh sorry, i'm here."

"As i was saying, I know it's exactly what your thinking anyway."

"Really?" Gabriella intrieged.

"Well yeah, i am a girl too." Gabriella laughed nervously wondering what the hell she was on about. "You gotta make him want you."

"Yea-WHAT? Want me? But I don't want him...do i?" Gabriella said whispering the last bit.

"NoNO You don't want him, but if you make him want you it'll be just a fun game to play." As Gabriella caught on to what she was saying knocking all thoughts of actually liking Troy, but just playing with him. A taste of his own medicen, Taylor's words, a payback for all the girls who he's let down. Probably not, since there's been so many, just a game. That's all Gabriella was repeating to herself when she was getting ready, just a game. Just a game.

They were told to dress nicely as they were going to a Restaraunt in town, Gabriella smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she finished up her make-up. Gabriella wore a black low cut mini dress well just like a top, with a silver sequined bow across the middle with black heels and a small shrug with her hair down naturally and little make-up. Not too dressy, not too casual she thought.

"Gabi you ready? Jack and Troy are here." Her mother called from downstairs she sighed before calling back one minute and grabbing her ringing cell as she walked out her room.

"Hello?"

"Hey Gabs, hows the dress?" Gabi smiled hearing Taylor's first question almost immdediately.

"Good, i think." Gabi answered softly.

"Not good, I'm sure you look AMAZING!"Taylor said emphesing the word amazing as Gabriella laughed, walking down the stairs she saw the back of Troy sitting on the sofa with Jack and Maria sitting opposite them laughing as she wondered what the hell tonight was gonna be.

"So hows Chad?" Gabi asked as she almost thought she heard Taylor's voice light up before going into another reason to hate him.

"Well I've gotta go round tomorrow to help him I swear he doesn't know anything. God, with that hair you must think something's inside it." I laughed as I entered the room as I looked up to see Troy, Maria and Jack all staring at me.

"Well, have fun." She said into the phone before turning to Maria. "One minute." Gabriella said quickly turning round to walk into the hall.

"She's always on that thing. I dread the day I brought it for her." Maria said as Jack smiled before saying the same thing about Troy.

"Were teenagers what do you expect?" Gabriella walked back into the room putting her phone in her bag upon hearing what Troy said.

"What do teenagers do?" She asked as Troy turned to her and her mouth formed a smile seeing his reaction for seeing her the first time properly tonight. He stumbled on his words as Jack and Maria laughed before Jack said.

"You look nice tonight." Gabriella smiled as Troy turned from her as Maria and Jack got up and began to leave, Gabriella followed making sure she was in front of Troy as he gulped looking down at her tanned legs as his mind started to wonder.

TROY's POV

The journey to the restaurant was a silent one, luckily there was a space between me and Gabriella, I don't know what it was, tonight she looked amazing.
As we pulled up I got out the car as well all did and saw Maria walk up to Gabriella and whisper something in her ear she smiled before nodding, god her smile was amazing I couldn't help but look on.

"Troy?" Dad knocked me out of my daze? I dunno anyway I just nodded along to what he said before seeing Maria and Dad walk together in front with their arms linked I smiled at the sight, before shaking the thought out of my head. I couldn't be happy for them could I?

Gabriella walked ahead of me as I ran to catch up.

"Heey!" I said before nearly killing myself for acting so dumb.

"Hey" She replied smiling, I smiled back and our eyes connected for a minute I couldn't help but not turn away, it was just like in class. What the hell? I didn't know what was going on until she tore her eyes away I looked on dumbly as if I was looking for answers but she walked away quickly to the doors of the restaurant. I followed quickly and sat down as Maria and Dad sat down opposite each other, me and Gabriella did also.

As she sat down she gave me a small smile, which i did back. I felt her leg brush on mine under the table making me jump up and crash under the table as I looked on to a smirking Gabriella and a confused Dad.

"Just hurt my l-egg." I said as he chuckled before talking to the waiter for our orders.

"Sorry, my leg slipped" Gabriella said softly before carrying on with her phone as if it was nothing. I looked to Gabriella to see her texting on her phone as she continued to brush her leg on mine, but a little bit at a time. As if it was just an accident, which I'm sure it wasn't. I felt myself getting turned on? I couldn't be, by just a simple brush of a leg I didn't get it all I knew was tonight was going to be a very very hard night, in more ways than one.

GABI'S POV

It was half way through the night, we were in the middle of our main meal. It had been alright so far, but I swear Troy has something with eyes, no kidding again I ended up connecting eyes with him it was so weird neither of us pulled away, i didn't feel i wanted too. Anyway Taylor's plan seemed to be working so far, I brushed my leg across his a few times he did seem a bit flustered but I couldn't do everything else she was talking about, where does she get these ideas? All i know now is I need to have a talk with Taylor. I was knocked out of my thoughts by Mom.

"You okay Brie?" I nodded silently as I played around with my pasta.

"Brie? Never heard that before." My head shot up at Troy at what he just said, I felt like killing him.

"Only my parents call me that." I said quietly, barey audible but it was true, my parents, well my Dad was really the only one who called me that but since he's been gone Mom started calling me it.

"Huh?" Troy said, I just kept my head down and ignored his question. From the corner of my eye I saw Jack nudge his son as if to say later and suprisingly Troy obeyed. I was shocked, Troy doing something nice for someone else? I laughed silently in my head, well that's what i thought looking up I saw them all staring at me Troy with a smirk on his face I laughed nervously before quickly saying.

"So what was it you needed to tell us?" Trying to change the thoughts of them from me acting like a complete idiot. Jack and Maria both exchanged looks.

"Come on. You brought us here for a reason.." Troy continued.

"Well.." Jack started.

"We were thinking." Mom continued.

"That..." Jack carried on stopping as I waited patinently, I was confused and it seemed Troy was too.

"Could one of you finish your sentence please." I giggled which caught Troy's attention as he turned to me and gave me a smile, OMG Call the cops. Troy Bolton just gave me a smile, a smile. A REAL smile, tonight was turning out to be very interesting and I hadn't even heard the main event yet.

NO-ONE'S POV

"Okay, well what would you guys say if we were to say to moving in together?" Jack asked cautiously.

"WHAT?!" Gabriella and Troy both shouted turning to their parents in shock.

"Move in with, HIM?" Gabriella asked her mother.

"HERR?" Troy replied glaring at Gabriella. "Are you kidding?" He asked his father.

"Well, Maria and Gabriella are going to have to move out of their house by next month anyway and we just thought it made sense." Troy glared at his father.

"Can't we just move down the road or somethin'?" Gabriella asked her mother pleadingly.

"It'll be fun." Maria said smiling, but soon turned into a frown as Gabriella stood up and started for the exit. "Gabi? Briee?!!"

"LEAVE ME ALONEE!" She screeched as she flew open the door and raced out of the restaraunt. Maria looked on at Jack as he put his hand on hers, turning to Troy.

"Troy?" He asked his son who just had his head down, hands lay firmly on the table.

"I'll see you back at home." He said softly and with that he was out of Jack and Maria's sight. Jack pulled Maria in for a hug as she started to tear.

"Sshh, it'll be fine. They just need time." Jack said softly brushing her hair through his fingers as they held on to each other. Gabriella and Troy had no idea their parents felt this way about each other, all they thought it was was just sort of a fling, a few dates. How wrong they were.

GABI'S POV

I sat on a park bench, pulling my dress down, shivering, God it was cold. I didn't know how i ended up here, I just walked and walked from the restaraunt, Move in with Troy? How could she, i mean the most I thought tonight was about was maybe, hopefully their relationship or whatever was ending. Now it seemed like it was getting too much. My legs kicked under the bench as I sat there, thinking, about everything. Was she for real? What if she was, we found it hard to talk about Dad now, moving in with the Bolton's we wern't going to talk at all. What if they got married? No NO! I shook my head of the thought it was just for while wasn't it?

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the one and only.

"Hey" I looked up to see Troy.

"Hi" I softly replied as he sat down next to me on the bench, only about a 5cm gap between us.

"Bit of a shocker huh?" He chuckled, I looked up giving him a glare. "Sorry." He said looking down, I shivered once more.

"That's the understatment of the year." I said softly looking to him, our eyes connected again, I was so lost i didn't realise what he was doing till it was too late.
Our lips connected only for second, no not even that we both pulled away abruptly.

"So-r-rry" He said mumbling, I smiled at his shyness.

"It's okay, caught in the moment that's all." He nodded dumbly before looking down again. "Troy Bolton, shy?" I asked giggling. He looked up and smiled.

"We better get back." He said, i nodded as we both stood up. We both stood around awkwadly both wondering what to do, we both lived on the same block, should we walk together? No. We couldn't I mean, fine we had to move in together but that doesn't mean we have to talk. It would never work us being friends anyway. He's a jock, only interested in cheerleaders. The type me and my friends dispise of, were probably the type they want to kill.

I said bye softly before turning round and rushing of to a quick walk. I heard him say back a small cya but I was too focused on getting away from him to really respond. All I knew was that I needed to get these thoughts of being friends with Bolton, out of my head.

AN. What do you think?

Good Bad? Sorry about all the changing POVs.
