The next day morning lessons went even slower than usual. Ryan sat in double English, chemistry and history while Gabriella sat through double maths, geography and biology. But eventually, at 1:25 the bell rang and Taylor Sharpay and Chad (who were all in the same class) all rushed off without a word. Ryan sat at the back in history, so he was last out, but he managed to get to the theatre through a short cut he'd found the year before. Gabriella, however sat at the front, but she got held back because the teacher wanted to ask her why she hadn't said a word during the lesson ('Things on my mind,' Gabriella said.). She rushed off after wards, while frantically checking her hair and make up in a pocket mirror.

Chad, Taylor and Sharpay got there first, and hid behind some seats (Chad had a hat on to keep his hair under control). Ryan got there a couple of minutes after and sat on the stage, next to the piano, putting his head in his hands. He was really nervous.

He waited 7 ½ minutes, and he thought that Gabriella wasn't coming. But as he looked up, he saw her walking slowly into the theatre, making her way up one of the aisles.

She came up silently, and sat next to him on the stage.

'Hi,' she said softly.

'Hey,' he said, looking into her eyes. 'There's… something I need to tell you…'

She looked into his brilliant (seriously brilliant) blue eyes. 'What?' she asked.

'I've known this for a while now, and it's been torture not telling you…' he continued. 'I think I lo…'

He was interrupted as Gabriella put a finger to his lips.

'Ssssh,' she said quietly.

She started to lean forward slowly, still looking into his eyes. He probably sensed what was happening and started to lean forward as well.

Sharpay, Chad and Taylor watched in awe as Ryan and Gabriella's lips touched. The two started to get into the kiss, as Ryan moved his hands up Gabriella's back, and into her hair. She started stroking his back, her own spine tingling. It was like her first kiss with Troy all over again, but better, and more exciting. As for Ryan, it was much better than his first kiss, with a girl called Amy (the girl that gave him the microphone in what I've been looking for). That time had been amazing, so this time was sensational.

As they broke apart, Gabriella said. 'I love you,'

'I love you too,' Ryan said, taking her hand.

He got down off the stage, and helped her off.

'Wow…' she said, as they walked off.

As they went out of the door, Sharpay, Chad and Taylor had a group hug. They'd done it!
