Rocking back and forth on her chair Gabriella was feeling nervous

Rocking back and forth on her chair Gabriella was feeling nervous. Nervous wasn't even the word. Terrified was more like it. she hadn't seen Troy since their kiss last night and now sitting at her desk in homeroom she dreaded of what it was going to be like from now on. Would he just ignore her like it had never happened? Would he feel like it was a mistake? The anticipation was killing her so much she had arrived 15 minutes early to lesson. She slams her folded arms on the desk and burry her head in them. She couldn't face it not today. Not after being so happy last night. She never wanted that feeling to end.

Gabriella felt a hand place gently on her shoulder. She wanted to bat it away as she was quite happy escaping from the world in her little cocoon she had formed in her arms. She dragged her head up a little just enough to see who was disturbing her only to catch a glimps of two piercing blue eyes smiling down at her. Gabriella jolted up surprised and weekly smiled at Troy

" hey" he smiled taking the seat next to her.

"hey" Gabriella muttered nervously.

Troy reached out and grabbed her hand that laid lazily on the table. Using it to pull himself closer to her as he shifted his seat. Gabriella was surprised by this but just watched confused as Troy moved nearer. When he was as close as he could get he reached over brushing his lips against hers. Causing Gabriella to gasp in to the kiss. It was a short but sweet kiss. Long enough at least for Gabriella's previous thoughts to vanish.

"stop worrying" Troy said as he stroked the back on her hair.

"how did you know?" she asked

"Gabs when I walk in and you're here 15 minutes before everyone else with you face buried in a desk I'm going to assume something's up!" Troy chuckled Gabriella pouted at his sarcastic comment causing Troy to smile at how cute she looked.

"and since when do you arrive 15 minutes early for homeroom?" Gabriella asks accusingly.

"Since homeroom is now my favourite class" Troy replied

"Whys that?" Gabriella flirted

"because of you" he winked.

Gabriella giggled and planted another quick kiss on Troy's lips. COUGH COUGH Gabriella and Troy turned to see an amused Chad and Taylor standing before them.

"So you did work on your assignment last night!" Chad chuckled causing Gabriella to blush.

"Chad shut up leave them alone!" Taylor laughed swatting him round the head.

"Hey" Chad cried rubbing the sore spot. Gabriella laughed but was still a bit embarrassed about being caught. She was never one for PDA's.

"So you guys going to Nathan's party tomorrow night?" Taylor asked the two who were still practically on top of each other. Troy looked at Gabriella for confirmation, she gave a little nod.

"Yea sounds good" Troy replied. They all turn to hear the door opening followed by some more students entering the room.

"The bell must of rang already" Gabriella commented shifting away shyly from Troy not wanting people commenting about how close they looked. Chad and Taylor was one thing but the whole class? Would Troy feel embarrassed about them being seen together?

As if on cue Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand and scooted them closer together and publically kissed her on the cheek. It was his way of showing that he was by no means ashamed of her. He wanted everyone to know that they were now dating.

"Today you will be continuing with your assignments and I shall be checking your progress!" Mrs Darbus exclaimed as she entered the room.

'It's progressing just fine' Gabriella thought to her self with a smile.
