"Hey Gabs." Lola greeted her sister who just walked into her room. "Where were you at?"

"I was on a date with Troy." Gabriella answered.

"You guys have been "just dating" for three weeks now." Lola pointed out. "Are you guys exclusive?"

Gabriella shook her head, "No."

"Well why not? Troy is perfect for you."

"You know how I am about relationships."

Lola sighed, "What if Troy asks you to be his girlfriend?"

"I might say yes." Gabriella replied. "But I don't really care about relationships. Troy and I are just having fun."

"That kind of sounded wrong."

"You're a big pervert, Lola."

"Maybe you should ask Troy to be your boyfriend." Lola suggested. "You don't have to wait for the guy."

"Lola leave my love life alone." Gabriella ordered.

Lola smiled, "I can't help myself. It's so fascinating. Like a soap opera. Luke and Laura."

Gabriella frowned, "Except Luke raped Laura, they went on the run, and their wedding was cursed. And they got divorced."

Lola sighed, "But they got back together. What they had was true love."

"Troy and I aren't in love." Gabriella countered. "And Luke got remarried to that Tracy lady."

"You get my point."

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah. I get it."

"That's all you had to say." Lola said. "You are so complicated sometimes."

~At Troy's House~

"Where'd you just come from?" Lucille asked.

"I was out with Gabriella. We went bowling."

Lucille smiled, "Oh really?"

"Mom, why do you have that look on your face?" Troy questioned.

"Is she your girlfriend yet?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Gabriella is like perfect." Marcus said. "She really hot, smart, athletic, popular, her parents love you, everyone in this family loves her, and for some odd reason she likes you. Don't let her get away."

Troy sighed, "Gabriella doesnt really like exclusive relationships. Her last boyfriend cheated on her."

Marcus sighed, "You'd never cheat on her. You're an 8 and she is a complete 11 out of 10. She's way to good for you."

"That's hurtful, Marcus." Troy told him, pretending to be upset.

"Well you should at least ask her." Lucille said. "The worst that could happen is she would say no."

"Gabriella and I are dating." Troy reminded. "You guus are not involved."

"Well we just like Gabriella so much. We don't want you to screw anything up."

"I'm not going to screw anything up."

Marcus scoffed, "Yeah. You're just Mr. Smooth."

~The Next Day~

Gabriella was walking downstairs when her phone buzzed. Troy sent her a text.

Troy: wanna go to the park?

Gabriella smiled and sent him a reply.

Gabriella: yeah. Meet u there in 5!

Five minutes later, Gabriella walked up to Troy who was sitting by the swings. "Hey."

"Hi Brie." Troy greeted.

"Hi." Gabriella greeted back. She sat down on a swing. "What's up?"

Troy shrugged, "Just wanted to come to the park. I havent been here in a long time."

"I don't think I've even really been to a park." Gabriella told him.

Troy's jaw dropped, "Are you serious? You've never been to a park?"

Gabriella shook her head, "Not like this. I've been to Central Park before, but that's so much of a tourist attraction. I think I only went once."

Troy laughed, "You really needed to get out of the city. I bet this is your time being in a suburb."

Gabriella frowned, "No. I've been to Westhester, Nantucket, San Diego, San Francisco." Troy stopped her.

"San Francisco does not count. It's too much of a big city."

Gabriella frowned, "Ok. I'm not a suburban girl. That's not my fault."

"I shouldn't talk because I'm probably not made for the city."

Gabriella smiled, "Well let me go back 14 years and enjoy my first time at the park. What should I do?"

Troy shrugged, "I think you should stick to the swings. You're not ready for the swirly slide yet. And don't even get me started on the sandbox."

Gabriella laughed, "Ok."

"It's always good to have pretty strong legs." Troy informed her.

"I dance, play softball, and I used to run track. My legs are strong enough for a children's swing."

"Keep going." Troy encouraged. "You're doing great."

Gabriella scoffed, "I'm not giving birth dumbass. I don't need encouragement."

Troy frowned, "Well then. Since you got everything down, why dont you jump off?" Troy pushes himself off the swing and lands in the bark.

"I'm not ready for that." Gabriella told him.

Troy took his phone out, "Come on Montez, you can do it."

"No."

"You're getting higher." Troy pointed out. "Your fall is going to hurt."

Gabriella frowned, "I'm scared."

"So you're just going to stay up there?"

Gabriella nodded, "I guess so." She swings for a while longer. "Ok I'll jump. One. Two. Three." She pushes herself off the swing and goes flying into the air. She flies into a pile of dirt and bark. "Ow."

Troy burst into laughter, "Oh my God. You are such a dork."

"I'm going to have scrapes and bruises all over my knees." Gabriella complained.

"Why are you wearing shorts?" Troy questioned. "It's January."

"Well it's a warm day." Gabriella defended.

"You are a loser." Troy wiped off he bark that was on Gabriella's legs. After a few minutes he spoke up. "You want to be my girlfriend?"

Gabriella looked up, "What?"

"You want to be my girlfriend?" Troy repeated.

"Are you joking with me? I don't like to be joked with."

Troy shook his head, "Nope."

Gabriella giggled, "Ok." Troy gave her a kiss.

"I still can't believe you don't know how to swing, though."

Gabriella hit Troy's arm, "Be nice."

~Later That Night~

Gabriella was on Facebook when she noticed Troy had posted a new video. "Gabriella At The Park." She read out loud. She clicked on the video. When it was over she called Troy.

"Hey Brie."

"I can't believe you video taped me falling off the swing. And you had the nerve to put it on Facebook."

Troy laughed, "Yeah. I also put it on YouTube."
