Ok so i no atleast 3 ppl liked my story and i enjoyd writin it so here we go again.

The rest of the day was pretty dull. By the time Troy came down from his balcony the hall had cleared all except for Zeke.

"Hey dude are you alright?" Troy asked him, he looked pretty sad.

"Oh hey Troy. Dude you scared me! Yeah I'm fine." He said fiddling with the red balloon in his hands.

"Alright, I'll catch up with you later," Troy said slightly confused with why Zeke was still standing in the gym on his own.Troy walked out and was nearly run over by Sharpay who had a... what looked like a cookie in her hand... He stood up and left for home. Little did he know he had dropped a piece of paper from his pocket...

Kelsi came out of the Music Room the next day she had arrived early to warm up for the rehersals later that afternoon with Troy and Gabriella. As she walked out of the room and into the empty corridor something caught her eye. It was a piece of paper. Normally she would have dismissed it as rubbish but it had been folded so perfectly rather than crumpled up and tossed aside. She picked it up and unfolded it. Her eyes widened. The poem was so cute and amazingly written. And what was more, she knew exactly who had written it. Troy Bolton. She ran back into the music room and bustled about in her bag. she pulled out some piano music she had written a while back and began to add the lyrics or "lines" to the music.

The previous night...

Troy walked the long way home. It just so happened that this way involved him walking past Gabriella's house... He stuck his hands in his pockets. He stopped. Where is it? He began to try and remember when there could have been a time he could have dropped it. Maybe I left it on the balcony? No I specifically remember putting it back in my pocket... Then he realised. It fell out when I was run over by Sharpay!!!! He didn't go into Gabriella's that night. Much to his own disappointment. He didn't sleep well that night either. Visions of people reading the poem and laughing at him behind his back, then, worse, Gabriella reading the poem and laughing in his face saying she didn't like him in that way. In fact she didn't like him at all. It was a God send when his mom woke him up that morning. Well not so much because now he would have to go to school...

"Sweety, are you alright? Your sweating!" his mom fussed about him worriedly. "Must've been a bad dream?" she questioned, "Oh well get ready for school, you can't be late!" He nodded but didn't say anything. He was dreading this. Someone was bound to find it... Unless it was just mistaken for trash? But then again it was folded. He would have to wait and see...

The previous night... (again)

Gabriella's mom had forced her out of the gym for a celebratory dinner, apparently not aware that there was an after party or that she wanted to spend time with Troy.. But she had been grateful for it and they had, had a lovely meal. When they got home it was late so Gabriella went up to bed. As she collapsed on her bed in a tired heap she found her mind trickling back to a certain part of the day...

"Congratulations Wildcats!!!" She said as she threw her arms around him, he turned around,

"What about your team?" He asked her,

"We won too!!" She said happily and found her self and Troy leaning closer together, her heart raced she was about to close her eyes ---

"The Team voted you the Game Winning Ball Captain!!" Chad said as he broke them apart to hand Troy the ball. Troy muttered a quick word of thanks to Chad and turned to her again. The same thing happened -- again. She leaned in her heart was racing faster than ever, she was about to close her eyes---

"Chad just asked me out!!" This time it was Gabriella who mumbled the quick words of Congratulations to her friend and though she was really happy for her she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed at their friends. After that there was just too many distractions...

She sighed. Maybe Troy would come and see her tonight? She hoped so... But after an hour she had fallen asleep, and Troy didn't come according to her mom the next day.

The Day After the Schoolastic Decathalon, The Big Game (the second time round)

Troy walked nervously into school the next day. He began to retrace his steps from the previous day. It wasn't in the Gym. It wasn't on the Balcony. It wasn't where Sharpay had run him over. Perhaps a cleaner had sweeped it up? But he doubted it. Mainly because all the balloons and the red and white confetti were still lying all over the Gym. So the cleaners couldn't have been in. Now what? He would turn from The Basketball Guy to a laughing stock...

"Hey Troy!" Troy span round and smiled slightly. He got the same old butterflies in his stomach but they were intensified with the worry...

"Hey Gabby..." He said distractidly as he scanned the floor down the corridor.

"Troy are you alright?" She said with a line of concern traced across her forehead. This made him smile, she looked so cute when she was worried or concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine," He lied. In the distance a bell sounded,"umm... we better get to class." He said. They walked towards the homeroom which was a floor above. Troy took an intake of breathe and reached down to take her hand in his. He waited for her reaction. His heart was beating fast he knew of course that he was simply holding her hand but it wasn't just that it was because he was holding hands with Gabriella.

Gabriella could feel his fingers intertwine with hers. Her heart soared but she simply smiled shyly and they walked to homeroom.

Troy on the other hand had felt slightly more relaxed when he was hlding her hand and as they walked towards homeroom he just had to hope that everything would be ok.
