Jason coughed but when that didn't work he said loudly 'hey do you remember last night, how funny was that?' He knew full well that both Gabriella and Troy would stop after that.

flashback

The gang were at the Evan's mansion playing the game where everyone has to eat a slice of cake and in the boys part of the cake there was a coin and in the girls there was a coin. Whoever got the slice with coin had to do are dare decided by the others. This time, it was Troy and Gabriella.

After 5 minutes of being left, they others walked in and Taylor announced their dare.

'Okay, so you have to go outside, strip off, jump in the pool, have a quick kiss then you can get out again.'

'What completely naked?' Gabriella asked in disbelief, 'won't you see us?'

'Completely naked, and no we won't see because it's really dark out there so we'll only see your outlines.' Sharpay assured as if it made a difference.

Troy wasn't too fussed. He wanted to kiss Gabriella in the pool, naked.

Gabriella looked a little distressed. 'I'm in, lets get it over with.'

She ran off with Troy close behind her. The others gathered at the window. It was very dark and the moon was the only light. Gabriella thought it was quite romantic, apart from the naked part.

Gabriella's POV

I turned around to check no-one could see anything but saw Troy with his shirt off undoing his belt! I stared at his chest for a second. He has so many muscles; I still can't believe he's mine. He looked up and grinned. It was so embarrassing! Anyway I undid my dress and pulled it over my head, quickly undid my bra and pants and dived in.

Troy's POV

I caught her looking at me again. It was quite funny. I watched as she took off her dress and undid her bra. Then she slid off her thong. My eyes lingered on that the longest. She was already in so I bombed into the pool, grabbed her, though I was careful not to go anywhere near 'those' places and kissed her for about two minutes. She seemed to enjoy it quite a lot actually. As soon as we'd finished we grabbed the nearby towels and ran inside. It may now be summer but it was freezing! I can't believe what a hot girl I've bagged!

end of flashback

Gabriella and Troy broke away immediately, blushing furiously. Everyone laughed apart from Elizabeth who thought it was time to bring the attention back to her.

'So Troy, I heard you're good at showing new kids around, you going to show me round?' she scratched just above her breast wanting him to look. Instead he just said, 'only on special occasions' and pulled a smiling Gabriella into school as the bell rang. The others followed with Elizabeth stood there fuming. Arthur was just about to follow Jason who he'd been staring at but Elizabeth pulled him back and whispered 'he will go out with me, he will!' and stalked off already forming a plan in her head.

Gabriella had filled Taylor, Kelsi and Sharpay in on what she'd told Troy. She was a bit worried how Sharpay would react but surprisingly she said she hated her too.

'Yeah she's such a boy stealer. I had my eye on this one guy, as soon as I told her, she was all over him.'

Together, they came up with a plan. Gabriella and Troy should be really over the top (and under in Troy's case) to get on Elizabeth's nerves. Kelsi had the idea of getting Troy to ask Elizabeth if she wanted to go to the mall and let her think it was on a date. Then when they got there, he'd let her think he wanted to kiss her, then as she moved in Gabriella would walk in and he'd make-out with her. The others would also turn up and she'd just sit there embarrassed.

'Great plan Batman, it might just work' said Taylor.

They agreed to meet at the mall at 5:00. Troy would already be there of course, with Elizabeth. They went off to tell their eager partners the plan. Now all that was left was Troy had to ask Elizabeth.

'Hey Elizabeth!' Troy ran over to her.

Elizabeth smiled inwardly, she knew he'd come to her if she waited.

'Hello Troy.' she cooed in a very obvious English accent.

'I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall later? You know, to show you around, like you said.'

'Sure, when?' she smiled.

'I'll meet you here at 4:15?' he grinned, hoping it wouldn't be too obvious that he'd rather be with Gabriella.

'Great, see you then' she watched Troy walk away and then turned and bumped into Coach Bolton.

'Miss Howard, watch where you're going, you might want to wear more suitable shoes tomorrow' he said looking down at the six-inch heels.

'But Sir, I'm perfectly capable of walking in these shoes. I was just a little surprised that's all.'

'I saw you talking to Troy, is everything ok?'

She smiled, 'Of course Coach, we were just arranging a time to meet to go to the mall'.

Coach Bolton frowned a little, 'you do know he has a girlfriend in Miss Montez?'

'Yes sir' she was getting impatient now, why did everyone point that out?

'Well don't let him spend a lot; he's bleeding me dry on basketball shoes'.

Elizabeth laughed and threw her head back; she flirted with any male, however old he was. 'Will do Sir'.

Coach Bolton stood there for another few minutes, hoping Troy wasn't getting himself into something bad. Elizabeth was a stunning girl but there was something about her, she didn't have the same qualities that Gabriella had. He hoped Troy would be clever enough to see what he'd got.

At the mall.

'So Troy, what do you look for in a girl?' Elizabeth flirted.

'Uh well, personality I suppose, but also looks. I mean when people say looks don't count they're lying 'cause you do need a good looking girl.' Troy gabbled.

Elizabeth smiled, was this Troy's way of saying she was pretty?

'Of course, I look for the same thing. You seem like the kind of guy I'd go for, do you have a secret twin brother?' she was only half joking.

Troy laughed uneasily and scratched his neck. 'Not one that I know of.'

They were sat in the gang's favourite café, where they'd arranged to meet. Troy glanced at the clock. Two minutes to five. Come on Gabi.

Elizabeth leaned in closer to Troy and whispered, 'I'll just have to wait for you then'.

Troy smiled in what he hoped was a seductive way. He wanted her to kiss him so they could get this over with.

Elizabeth put her hand on his knee and moved over to him and placed her lips on hers, gently parting them with her tongue. It was at this moment that Gabriella and the gang waltzed in. Troy saw them and pushed Elizabeth away.

'What do you think you're doing?' he exclaimed.

Gabriella hurried over and put her arms round his neck, 'hey baby, what's up?'

Troy looked up at Gabriella and said 'nothing Gabi, come here, I've missed you' and pulled her in for a kiss.

Chad looked longingly at Taylor but she was deliberately ignoring him. He leaned in to give her a kiss just as she was turning around and they collided, with him kissing her nose instead.

'Chad!'

Chad remained silent. Why was she ignoring him? It was like everything he did she wanted to shout at him. I should flirt with someone else and make her jealous, Elizabeth maybe? The girls said she was horrible but she seems nice to me. Chad sat down next to her, much to the dismay of Taylor.

'So Elizabeth, did you see anything you liked?'

Elizabeth grinned, if she couldn't have Troy, she'd make sure she got one of his jock friends. 'Not 'til now' she said, looking up through her eyelashes.

Chad remained confused and asked 'what, a coffee? I meant did you see anything in the shops you liked.'

Elizabeth sighed, 'I thought you meant people, sorry'.

Chad just nodded but inside he was thinking 'yes now Taylor'll see the kind of guy she's missing out on.'

Taylor looked on with tears in her eyes, why was Chad doing this to her? Gabriella looked up to see Taylor almost in tears and Chad flirting with Elizabeth. She whispered to Troy who got up and yanked Chad over to the fountain for a talk. Gabriella took Taylor home with Sharpay and Kelsi close on their heels. Elizabeth just stayed there, loving the trouble she was causing. She knew Taylor was upset because Chad was flirting with her so it was only a matter of time before she nabbed him. She looked over to the boys and waved at Chad who waved back and hit a blind guy on the head. 'He's so clumsy and idiotic but he would really up my social standing' she thought. 'He'll be mine, even if his best friend won't' and set about a plan to nabb Chad. As she was thinking, she caught Troy looking at her oddly, 'hmmm she thought, could be interesting'...
