"Gabs, I…" He started again. He started to lean down to kiss her

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! He's going to kiss me! Gabriella thought excitedly.

________________________________________________________________________

Just as Troy leaned down to kiss Gabriella they heard a car pull up in the driveway. Pulled out of their trance they quickly pulled away from each other and stood up. They watched as Chad and Taylor, their best friends, walk up to them. Taylor raised her eyebrows up at her as to ask "What the heck were you guys doing on the ground?" Gabriella just mouthed "I'll tell you later."

"Dude, why's your face so red?" Chad chuckled. He knew about Troy's feelings towards Gabriella. Troy just glared at him

"Shut up, Chad." Troy responded

"Make me!" Chad laughed and Troy took off after him. The girls just stared at them and looked at each other and shook their heads

"Why don't we go on in and wait for the butts? While inside you can me about what you and Troy were doing laying on the ground in each other arms?" Taylor giggled.

Gabriella just groaned as her best friend grabbed her hand and dragged her inside. She knew she'd never hear the end of this one. As soon as they got to the living room Taylor plopped down on the couch, pulling Gabriella down with her.

"Okay, so spill!" Taylor said enthusiastically.

Gabriella just kind of gave a shrug

"We were playing basketball and he was showing me how to throw it so it would go in the basket. I did it how he showed me and made the basket. So he picked me up and started twirling me around and then we fell down. I kissed his cheek and told him thanks. Then, he leaned in to kiss me. Tay, he was going to kiss me!" She said excitedly "But, then you guys showed up."

She gave her friend a sad face. Taylor just giggled

"Oh my gosh!" She squealed. "I can't believe he was going to kiss you!"Gabriella giggled in return and sighed happily

"But Tay .." She said, suddenly serious "What if he was just caught up in the moment? What if -."

"Honey," Taylor cut in "I've seen the way that boy looks at you. He's crazy about you!"

Gabriella looked over at her "Really?"Taylor just nodded her head and opened her mouth to say something when suddenly Chad and Troy burst through the doors, soaking wet. The girls jaws dropped open.

"What in the world happened to you two?!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"Welllll." Troy started out "I got mad at Chad and sprayed him with the hose and then he sprayed me with the hose ..and then we both fell in the pool."

Taylor and Gabriella burst out laughing as Gabriella got up. "I'll go get you guys some towels." She said, wiping tears from her eyes and shaking her head. She came back with the towels and handed them to Troy and Chad.

"I vote we watch a movie and order pizza." Troy piped up.

Gabriella nodded her head "That sounds good." She looked over to Chad and Taylor "You guys in?"

They both nodded their heads simultaneously. Troy dug his cell phone out of his pocket as Gabriella headed over to the T.V.

"What pizza does everyone want?" Troy asked as the girls gave him this "duh" look. "Right, right sorry. Pepperoni." He rolled his eyes at Chad who in return shook his head and mouthed, "Women"

"I saw that, Mr. Danforth." Taylor said as she gave him a glare that said, "You better watch it."

Chad grinned cheekily at her "I loooove you."

She giggled and rolled her eyes "I love you too."

Meanwhile, Gabriella was trying to figure out what movie the four of them could watch "What about Fantastic Four?" The three others looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"The pizza should be here in about 15 minutes." Troy said.

"Okay, so what should we do in the meantime?" Chad asked

"Truth or dare!" The girls piped in. The guys groaned. Taylor looked over at Chad.

"You. Sit. Now."

He did as he was ordered. Troy knew there was no backing out of this one, so he reluctantly sat on the floor next to Chad. Chad raised his hand.

"Me first!" He exclaimed

Gabriella and Taylor rolled their eyes

"All right, fine." Taylor said.

"Troy." He started out as Troy groaned and held his hands in his head. He knew how this was going to go.

"Uhm, dare."

"All right, I dare you to kiss Gabriella." All eyes were fixed on Chad. Troy with his mouth hanging open and Gabriella and Taylor both giving him evil glares.

"No way, man!" Troy exclaimed "Dude, that's like kissing my ..my sister!" But truthfully, Troy wanted to kiss her. He hadn't been caught up in the moment earlier, he really had wanted to kiss her. But, he just didn't know if she wanted it.

"Dude, a dare's a dare. " Chad said

Troy looked over at a very nervous Gabriella. She shrugged her shoulders like she didn't care, even though she really did.

"Like he said, a dare's a dare." She said in a shaky voice.

They both got up and stepped towards each other. Troy took her waist in his hands and slowly dipped his head down and his lips touched hers. Gabriella tilted her head a bit and kissed him back. His tongue ran across her lower lip, asking for entrance which she immediately gave him. Their tongues battled against each other. They were lost in the moment. Both of them getting just what they had longed for, but didn't have the courage to take the first stop. Just then, the doorbell rang, pulling them quickly away from each other. Troy immediately ran to the front door, paying for he pizza. He came back carrying two large pizza boxes in his hand

"Pizza anyone?" He asked in a shaky voice
