A/N: This chapter has ideas from the brilliant mind of… kae-thinks-of-u! I give you a big thanks and here's chapter 7!
Later on…
"Urgh!" Gabriella exclaimed. "What am I going to wear?"
"What?" Sharpay asked, walking through the door. "You going out? Again?"
"Yes!" Gabriella screamed.
"Whoa, girl," Taylor said, coming through the door with a coffee. "You need to quieten down. Besides, where are you going?"
"Out on a date," Gabriella mumbled so she wasn't heard.
"Where?" Taylor asked, sitting on her bed.
"Nowhere," Gabriella sighed.
"I got it!" Sharpay exclaimed. "You're going out… on a date!"
"How'd you know?" Gabriella asked.
"Just guessed," Sharpay replied, checking her nails.
Troy walked into the room.
"Do you guys have any flour?" He asked.
"No, why would we have flour?" Kelsi asked.
"Dunno," Troy replied. "Just checking,"
He u-turned and left for the boys' room.
RING RING
Troy answered his cell and found out that it was Alexa.
"Oh, umm, hey Alexa," He replied, turning the doorknob.
"Hey Troy," Alexa said. "Do you wanna go out to dinner?"
"Yeah, sure," Troy said, walking into the room and silencing the guys. "Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No thanks," Alexa said. "Just meet me at Moon-dance, bye,"
"Right, see ya," He said, handing up.
"Who was that?" Chad asked.
"No one," Troy replied, looking for some clean clothes.
"Right, where are you going?" Jason asked.
"No where,"
"You're going somewhere," Ryan said, stealing Troy's pillow and whacking him over the head.
"No I'm not!"
The girls heard some commotion in the room next door so they barged in and were met by three pillows being hurled at their faces.
"Owww!" Taylor shrieked. "What was that for?"
The boys pointed to Ryan.
"He started it!" They chorused.
That caused a ruckus and staff members barged in to see what was happening. Taylor made up some silly excuse, ending with 'and that's why I like microwaves'. They glared at everyone menacingly and then left.
"Phew," Gabriella muttered, heading out the door. "Oh no! It's 5:40! Seth's gonna be here any minute!"
Troy thought for a moment.
Seth? Who's he? God dammit! Alexa! I've gotta get ready! He thought.
"Yeah, I gotta get ready too," Troy said, straightening his shirt.
Troy walked into the bathroom with his clothes while Gabriella went into the girls' room. She had a quick shower and put on a black dress and applied her make-up. Within two seconds, there was a knock on the door.
"I got it!" Gabriella yelled, answering the door.
"Hey Gabriella," Seth said, handing her a bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you! These are beautiful." Gabriella said, handing them to Taylor. "Do you wanna go now?"
"If you're ready,"
Halfway through their meal, Gabriella spotted someone very familiar sitting in the seats opposite them. She squinted and noticed that it was Troy and that mystery girl. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't let them out.
"Are you okay?" Seth asked, noticing the change in Gabriella.
"Umm, yeah, I'm fine," She said, turning away from him.
"No, what's wrong. You can tell me," Seth said soothingly.
Gabriella sighed and pointed to the table across from them.
"Troy Bolton!" Seth exclaimed. "I gotta run!"
Troy spun around after hearing his name He saw Gabriella with… Seth Mathers!
"Seth!" Troy yelled, standing up. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on a date," He said.
Gabriella's tears began to fall. Seth looked behind him and saw that Gabriella was crying. He sat next to her, his arm around his waist and his other hand wiping away the tears.
I want to be the one doing that, Troy thought. Not him.
Gabriella stopped crying and Troy narrowed his eyes. He looked at Seth carefully.
No, no, no… Seth from West High! He thought.
"Gabriella!" Troy yelled angrily. "What are you doing with this trash?"
"I'm going out with him!" She screamed. "Why do you care? You've got your friend over there!"
She pointed over to Alexa who was looking around, wide eyed. By now, everyone, including all the waiters, waitresses, kitchen people and cookers were looking at this scenario. Troy looked crestfallen.
"But, Gabriella…" He trailed off. "Alexa is just one of my friends from primary school. I just couldn't believe she was here, we just went out to catch up,"
"Oh," Gabriella said, facing Alexa. "I'm sorry,"
"It's no problem, just a misunderstanding,"
Seth and Alexa exchanged looks. They both walked out of the restaurant together, leaving the two to sort out their own problems.
"C'mon," Troy said. "Let's go,"
Gabriella smiled as they walked out together. Troy led her up to the balcony up the top of their hotel.
"Troy,"
"Yeah?"
"I'm so, so, sorry, it's just I, I wasn't thinking clearly and I…" Gabriella sighed. "Was so jealous,"
"You? You were jealous? You were jealous of Alexa?" Troy asked
Gabriella nodded and blushed.
"Only a little. No, maybe a little more, but-"
Troy cut her off by pressing his lips against hers, sending sparks of electricity running through their bodies. Gabriella was surprised but responded by kissing back. Troy pulled back and smiled. They walked down to their floor together, and walked into the boys' room. Everyone was asleep. The girls on the couch and the boys on their beds.
Troy put his finger on his lips and signaled to the girls room. They quietly tip toed out and fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms.
Sharpay woke up and stumbled out of the boys' room and into the girls' room. She gasped once she walked in. She woke up everyone else, bar Troy and Gabriella. They walked into the girls' room quietly and smiled.
"Finally!" Taylor exclaimed.
This caused them to stir.
"Shhhh!" Everyone else whispered.
Gabriella woke up and looked around.
"What the-" She said, finding herself in Troy's arms.
She remembered the night before and smiled.
"Wake up lover boy," Chad told her.
She nodded and shook Troy till he was awake.
"Morning… everyone," Troy said, looking up.
The two stood up and stretched.
"Let's go get breakfast," Gabriella suggested.
Everyone murmured and followed Gabriella out of the room.
3 weeks later…
"C'mon," Troy said. "We have to catch a plane soon,"
Gabriella smiled. Troy was now officially her boyfriend because he asked her a few days ago.
Flashback.
"Gabriella?" Troy questioned.
Gabriella turned to face him.
"Can you come with me for a moment?" He asked hopefully.
Gabriella nodded and followed him into the boys' room.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
He took off the ring he wore when they first met. A gold ring with a red stone.
"Yes! Of course!" She said, extremely happy.
He smiled and slid the ring on her finger.
End of flashback.
Neither Troy nor Gabriella ever heard another word from Seth or Alexa since that night at the restaurant.
"Gabriella?" Troy said. "Come back down to earth! Gabriella!"
Gabriella shook her head and looked at Troy.
"C'mon, we have to go now, they just called us,"
Gabriella dragged her suitcases over to the thingo.
They found their seats, which were conveniently next to their friends, and each others. They sat down.
"Prepare for take off," The captain commanded.
Gabriella clung onto the seat tightly, shutting her eyes. Troy remembered how she was afraid of flying and he put his hand over hers.
"It's okay Gabriella," He soothed. "In a few seconds, we'll be 30 000 feet up in the air,"
"Not. Helping," She mumbled, smiling.
"And we're up,"
Gabriella opened her eyes slowly and let go of the seat.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Gabriella responded.
Troy leaned in and kissed her passionately.
"I love you," He said, kissing her again.
"And I love you too, Bolton," Gabriella said, smiling and kissing him once more.
Troy started kissing her neck and Gabriella closed her eyes.
"Eww!" Sharpay exclaimed. "Disgusting!"
"It's okay babe," Zeke said. "You've already been through that,"
Sharpay smiled and kissed Zeke on the nose. Chad and Taylor watched the couple make out.
"They need to do that in private," Taylor said, disgusted.
"Yeah,"
A/N: Please review, I'm thinking of ending the story soon. Please tell me if you want it longer! (Just tell me if you want me to make this a short story or something longer) P.S: The next chapter may take a while for me to post because I have tests and other stuff for school to revise.
