Chapter 6

Recap

Troy grabbed her hand and pulled her onto him making her sit on his lap.

"Troy what are you---" Before Gabriella could finish her sentence, a pair of soft lips where gently crashed onto his. Gabriella was completely shocked at first but then, she relaxed and started to kiss back. They were enjoying the moment when suddenly, they heard a gasp in the room…..

End of Recap

The two of them quickly jumped apart nervously. They turned around to see where the gasp came from.

"Please don't be mom or uncle. Please, please, please!!" Gabriella said in her mind not daring herself to turn and look who was watching them.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Troy asked, super relieved that it wasn't their parents who saw them.

"We just wanted to hang out with you guys because we're bored! I guess you guys were not really as bored as us." Sharpay smirked as she watched Troy and Gabriella blush furiously.

"How did you guys got in here any way?" Gabriella asked, desperate to change the subject.

"The front door was unlock. We were about to ring the doorbell but we were tempted to sneak." Chad said and Troy just sighed.

"Just please don't do that again! You almost gave me a heart attack you know!" Gabriella said glaring at her friends.

"We can't promise you that Gabi!" Chad said while the whole group nodded their head with huge grins.

"You're never doing it again right?!" Troy exclaimed, giving the gang (excluding Gabriella) an absolute death glare.

"Hey you know what! Sneaking is wrong so we are NOT doing it again. Right guys?!" Chad immediately said while the gang nodded their heads, scared of what Troy will do to them.

"Do you guys want anything to drink?" Troy asked out of nowhere.

"I want some coke please." Jason and Chad said exactly the same time.

"Then go get it yourself." Troy said as the guys frown. Gabriella couldn't help but giggle.

"So.. You guys were a little… too close?" Taylor said, sitting down next to Gabriella.

"We were not!" Gabriella protested as the boys all went to the kitchen.

"So you consider kissing as not being close?" Kelsi asked.

"Umm.. Maybe." Gabriella said but couldn't help but grin anymore, just thinking of the amazing feeling she just felt a few minutes ago before they were rudely interrupted.

"Spill everything. How did it happen?" Sharpay asked enthusiastically.

"Well, we were just watching a movie and then I stood up because the movie was finish and all of a sudden, he just grabbed me and kissed me." Gabriella said dreamily while the girls squealed in happiness.

------------------------

The boys were all in the kitchen drinking soft drinks.

"So Troy, no connection between you and Gabi ey?" Chad said. He expected Troy to glare at him but instead he smiled and sighed happily.

"Wow, she got you bad!" Zeke said with an amused smile as the other boys nodded.

"Look, I don't really know what we have between us." Troy said.

"But you felt something, right?" Jason asked.

"Of course I did but why are you guys talking deeply? Its scaring me." Troy said heading back to the girls.

Troy saw the girls talking in the lounge room. He couldn't help but stare at Gabriella and just admire her beauty.

"Oh hey Troy!" Sharpay said, finally noticing the boy.

"Hey!" Troy said walking over to them and squishing right between Gabriella and Taylor.

"Ow!" Gabriella and Taylor groaned as Troy tried to make space next to Gabriella.

"Do you really have to sit in some place taken already?" Sharpay asked.

"What? This is my house, which means I can sit wherever I want to." Troy said and Sharpay just stuck her tongue out at him.

"You have a funny face when you do that Sharpay." Troy chuckled while the girls stared at him in slight shock.

"Wow Troy! You're Mr Softy today. I think this is the first time you called Sharpay by her real name. What happened to 'Ice Princess'??" Taylor smirked while Troy just shrugged.

"Troy's getting better and better." All of them (except Troy) thought at the same time.

-------------------------

The next day, Gabriella couldn't help but smile. She remembered the events that happened to her the day before. Its Saturday and the gang didn't plan anything for the day.

"Maybe I can hang out with Troy!" Gabriella thought with a smile. She was no longer scared of him, instead she felt really safe around him.

Gabriella went downstairs only to see Mr Bolton and her mom on their way out.

"Troy! Don't forget to water the garden!" Jack called out to his son.

"Whatever dad!" Troy replied from the kitchen.

"Oh Gabi you're awake. Can you please help Troy water the garden?" Carla asked her daughter.

"Sure thing mom! Bye uncle! (Gabi calls Jack 'uncle' now)" Gabriella said with a slight wave.

"Bye Gabriella!" Jack said and head out of the house.

Gabriella walked to the kitchen and saw Troy eating cereals.

"Hey Troy!" Gabriella greeted, also getting her self a bowl of cereal while sitting next to Troy.

"Hey!" Troy greeted and continued eating.

"By the way, I still have my homework for you to do!" Troy said cheerily.

"Troy you can't be serious!" Gabriella pleaded.

"What? We had a deal didn't we?" Troy smirked.

"Yeah but you're torturing me! I thought you love me!" Gabriella said with a slight smile.

"I do!" Troy protested.

"Yeah right. You sure show your love by torturing me!" She said, rolling her eyes at him.

"Ok fine. I'm gonna let you off with home work." Troy said and Gabriella smiled widely.

"Really?" She said.

"Yeah sure why not. As long as you help me do them." Troy said and Gabriella smirked.

"Ok fine." Gabriella said as they both head outside to water the plants as they parents said.

"But you'll still do whatever I say." Troy smirked while Gabriella frown. Suddenly, an idea struck her.

"Nobody knows about your blue eyes right?" Gabriella asked with an evil smile.

"You wouldn't dare tell them!" Troy warned.

"I would!" She laughed.

"I'm not gonna make you my slave no more so we're even!" He quickly said as Gabriella nodded in satisfaction. (Thanks to 'Vanessa Turner' for giving me the idea of blackmailing Troy too.)

Both of them were now holding small water hoses for the garden. They were about 2 metres apart and was just watering the plants silently.

"Are you close to your dad?" Gabriella asked randomly.

"Umm.. He's ok I guess. He's never home." Troy admitted with a sigh.

"Do you like my mom?" Gabriella asked curiously.

"Yeah I do. She's really nice." Troy smiled.

"My turn to ask you a question." Troy said turning his head to face Gabriella.

"What is it?" She asked without turning and continuing to water the plants.

"Have you had a shower yet?" Troy asked with an evil look on his face.

"Not yet why?" She replied and as soon as she turned her head to face him, water splashed right on her face. Troy started laughing his head off as she wiped her wet face.

"Ohh.. Bolton you just declared war!" Gabriella yelled and wet him with her water hose. They started wetting each other and running around the backyard like little kids.

Troy was trapped in a corner and has no where else to go.

"Montez don't you dare!" Troy said staring at Gabriella who was smiling evilly with the water hose in her hand.

"Sorry Bolton!" Gabriella laughed and soaked Troy. She smiled and saw Troy playfully glaring at her. Gabriella was about to soak him again but suddenly, Gabriella's water stopped running for some reason.

"It might have fallen out of the tap." She thought in horror.

"My turn!" Troy smirk and Gabriella quickly ran for her precious life. She let go off her hose since there was no use carrying it anymore.

"Come back here!" Troy chuckled causing Gabriella to ran faster. Suddenly, she tripped over something and before Troy could catch her, she fell right on the ground, scraping her knee.

"OW!" Gabriella groaned in pain. Troy quickly let go off his hose and ran to Gabriella worriedly.

"Are you ok?" Troy asked with full concern.

"I just scrape my knee. Stings a little but I'll be fine." Gabriella smiled weakly. She tried to stand up but fell back down. Luckily, Troy was there to catch her.

"Apparently, I twisted my ankle too." Gabriella said grabbing onto Troy's arm.

Troy looked at her bleeding knee and swiftly picked her up in his arms.

"What are you doing Troy?" Gabriella asked wrapping her arms around Troy's neck so she wouldn't fall.

"You need to get change and we'll take care of your knee." Troy said with a frown.

"I shouldn't have ran after her! Now I hurt her! Stupid move again Troy!" Troy scolded his self.

Gabriella was just looking at Troy the entire time. She could tell that he's probably mad at himself because she got hurt. Finally, they arrived at Gabriella's room. He set her down gently on the bed.

"I'm fine Troy. Really. I'm good." Gabriella said trying to cheer him up.

"Its my fault. I shouldn't have chased you." Troy said bowing his head.

"Hey, nothing serious happened. I can handle this." Gabriella said lifting his chin up and making him face her.

"Are you sure?" Troy asked.

"Definitely." Gabriella smiled and Troy happily returned it.

"Now, do me a favour?" Gabriella asked.

"Anything." Troy quickly said.

"What the heck? Did I just agree to do a favour for her? I never do favours! But the again…" Troy thought.

"Take a shower, will you? You stink now, with all those mud sticking to you." Gabriella giggled and Troy rolled his eyes.

"You should take a shower too. You stink to you know!" Troy retorted back making Gabriella laugh.

"Can you walk to the bathroom?" Troy said referring to her twisted ankle.

"I think so. It doesn't hurt that bad anymore." Gabriella said.

"Are you sure? 'Cause I can always accompany you to the bathroom." Troy said flirtatiously.

"Dream on Bolton!" Gabriella giggled walking over to the bathroom.

-------------------

Half an hour later, both of them was clean and smelling good. Troy walked back to Gabriella's room only to find her brushing her hair in front of her giant mirror.

"Hey Gabs!" Troy said walking over to the bed.

"Hey Troy! What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked.

"We need to cure that knee of yours!" Troy said holding up a first aid box.

"Oh right." Gabriella said, still not moving away from the mirror.

"When I said we're going to cure your knee, I meant it as now, smarty pants!" Troy exclaimed making Gabriella giggle.

"Gosh! You're so impatient!" Gabriella said sitting next to him on the bed. She put her bruised knee on Troy's lap while Troy examined it for a while.

"Is it unfixable Dr Bolton?" Gabriella said pretending to cry as if it was the end of the world.

"As a matter of fact, yes, its unfixable but for me, nothing's impossible!" Troy joked back which made Gabriella laugh.

"You're such a sweet guy!" Gabriella smiled and suddenly froze when she saw Troy staring back at her weirdly.

"Did I just say that out loud?" She asked and Troy nodded with a smile.

"There! All done. You're knee is gonna be fine, thanks to me!" Troy smirked.

"Whatever." Gabriella giggled taking her leg off his lap.

"What? That's it? No thanks or anything?" He asked with a mock hurt face.

"Aww.. Thank you Dr Bolton!" Gabriella said, quickly giving a kiss on the lips. Troy couldn't believe that Gabriella did that and neither could she. There was an awkward silence until Gabriella finally decided to break it.

"I'm just gonna go to the umm… kitchen." Gabriella excused herself.
