"Yeah" he lied. Gabriella saw through him. She knew he just wanted to hug her.

"Hmm, do you wanna go to the lake?" she asked.

"Sure" he agreed.

"So Ella, How's life been?" Troy asked as they walked to the lake.

"It's been pretty good, minus the whole Zeke and Sharpay thing, its doing pretty well" She grinned. Troy beamed his famous smile back.

"Great, I love to hear that" he chuckled.

"Yeah, what about you?" she asked.

"Its been absolutely wonderful, besides Sarah cheating on me" he shrugged.

"Oh, well I know how you feel" she said biting her bottom lip.

"Yeah, but it must've been worse for you huh?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, kinda" Gabriella said.

"I'm sorry Ella" he said pulling her into a hug. Gabriella sniffed into his chest.

"You've already said that 50 billion times" she giggled as her eyes watered.

"I know, but im still really sorry. I don't like seeing you get hurt" he admitted.

"Thanks Troy" she said against his chest.

"What for?"

"Thanks for always being there for me whenever I need someone. Thanks for being such a great friend that i've always wanted. Just..thanks for everything. Without you, I probably couldn't live. Your like my best friend." she said. Troy winced as she kept saying friends. He definitely did not want to be her friend, he wanted to be so much more.

Troy smiled. "Same for you El" he said kissing her forehead. Gabriella pulled back and laughed.

"I feel like such an idiot right now" she said wiping away a couple tears.

"Why?"

"Because im crying over something that happened about a week ago."

"Don't feel like that. You have every right to cry about that" he said sympathetically.

"I guess.." She trailed off.

"Okay Everyone! I want you to be with your partner and play a song to your partner. Then you have to tell them what the song is about and why you chose it." Mrs. Jacobs said at their first class. Troy and Gabriella went to the lake and just laid on the grass and talked. Troy hasn't broken up with Sarah just yet, and Gabriella is dying for him to do it already.

"You know, I feel sorry for all the people that can't even play the guitar" Troy stated once everyone was with their partner.

Gabriella giggled. "Yeah, I think its kinda funny to watch them mess up"

"Is that how you feel about me?" Troy feigned hurt, and for extra measures put his hand to his heart, making Gabriella giggle even more.

"Don't worry you big baby, you don't even mess up"

"Yeah, I don't mess up, but some people around here do" he said.

"Are you implying that I mess up Troy?" Gabriella asked raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe, maybe not" he joked.

"I'm assuming you are saying that I do mess up"

"Don't assume El, it makes an ass out of you and me. And you know im not an ass" he said cockily.

"Okay, so your calling me an ass?" Gabriella said feigning hurt, just like Troy minutes before. She puts her hand to her heart. "That hurts. Right here" she said patting her heart.

Troy rolled his eyes. He held her hand in his and kissed the back of her hand. "Sorry"

Gabriella giggled, but her giggle faded when Sarah came up to Troy and gave him a wet kiss on his cheek. "Hey Troy" she said in a fake bitch tone, at least, that's what Gabriella would say. Gabriella pulled her hand out of Troy's and rolled her eyes.

"Sarah, back to your seat" Mrs. Jacobs demanded. Sarah rolled her eyes and obeyed. Mrs. Jacobs gave Gabriella a look saying 'I saw what you guys were doing,' Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Okay back to work" Gabriella said pulling a stranded piece of hair behind her ear.

"You look beautiful" Troy blurted. Once the words came out his eyes went wide and he shrunk back in embarrassment.

Gabriella blushed. "Thanks..you look...handsome" Gabriella giggled and went even more red. 'Handsome? That's a new one. Better than hot' Troy thought.

"Are we working here or just flirting?" Mrs. Jacobs walked past them. Gabriella and Troy blushed.

"Okay. Uh, you can go first" Gabriella suggested.

"Nah, you can"

"You, please?" Gabriella batted her eyelashes and pouted.

"Damn it" Troy muttered.

"Language Mr. Bolton" Gabriella joked.

"Well I can say for the same for you as well Mrs. Bolton" Troy said without thinking. Once the words hit him he was speechless. Gabriella just grinned, thinking it fit perfectly, which she is oblivious to the fact he thought it went perfect as well.

"Okay. I'll go first" Troy said. Gabriella nodded.


If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you,
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
Ooohhhh

"Thats really beautiful" Gabriella grinned.

'Just like you' he thought. "Just like you" he spoke out. Looks like Troy just keeps getting better with his flirting.

Gabriella giggled. "Thank you Troy" she kissed his cheek. He felt like he was in heaven, by just one kiss on the cheek. Gabriella and Troy was definitely having a good day.

"Gabriella and I are gonna get going" Troy said. The gang minus Sharpay and Zeke were finishing their dinner after their day. Gabriella stood up and Troy grasped her hand as they entwined their fingers.

"Do they know they are doing holding hands?" Kelsi asked Taylor quietly.

"Who knows. Probably not" she shrugged.

"So do you wanna go to the lake to chill for a bit?" Troy asked as they were walking towards the lake.

"Since we're already on the way there, yeah" Gabriella giggled.

"So how was your day Ms. Montez?" He asked actually getting her last name right.

"It's been pretty good I guess" she shrugged. "What about you?"

"Its great" he grinned.

"Thats good to hear" Gabriella stated. "And why is it great?"

'The fact that I get to see you everyday.' "Because..." he trailed off thinking.

"Because...?"

"Because its just been great. I have an almost perfect life. What else could I want?" he asked. 'All I could ever want is you..' he thought.

"Maybe, a real decent girlfriend that won't cheat on you and being able to play in the Red Hawks again?" she asked more than said.

"At the moment, I don't really care about playing for the Red Hawks, and for the girlfriend thing, I lo-like someone but its hard right now" he said with sadness in his voice. Gabriella frowned.

"Did you almost say love?" she asked with sadness visible in her big brown eyes.

"..Y-yeah"

"Who-who do you love?" she asked, wanting to know really bad.

"Someone" Troy said mysteriously.

Gabriella let out a big sigh. "Come on, tell meeee" she whined. "I can handle it."

As the two reached the lake they heard a sob ripple through the air. Troy and Gabriella looked at each other and then at the figure whose shoulders were shaking from the sobs. Gabriella let go of Troy's hands, both feeling the cold air hit their hands and missing the warmness and forgetting the question.

"Hey. What's wrong?" Gabriella asked as she walked up to the girl.

"M-my boyfriend broke up with-with me" the girl said. Once she turned her head Gabriella gasped.

"Sarah?"

"Gabriella? Did I say boyfriend? I-i mean...uhh.." Sarah stuttered trying to think of what to say. Troy appeared next to Gabriella.

"I didn't break up with you.."Troy said already knowing that her other boyfriend broke up with her.

"I didn't mean to say you broke up with me" she said. Gabriella raised an eyebrow while Troy furrowed his eyebrows.

"Okay, what did you mean?" Gabriella asked clearly amused of her lying.

"My-my...Tyler!..I mean Tyler, my partner doesn't like me" she lied lamely. Well it wasn't a lie to Gabriella and Troy but they already knew.

"Actually, I clearly heard you say Your Boyfriend broke up with you when he is right here" Gabriella said pointing to Troy.

"Are you cheating on me?" Troy asked calmly.

"N-no? Why would you think that?" she lied through her teeth. I glanced at Troy. His expression was unreadable, only because Gabriella couldn't see his eyes, but Troy was mad that she actually tried to lie to her.

"Because I know you are." Troy stated.

"Wh-what?! Who told you? I'm not cheating on you Troy i'd never do that!" lie lie lie..

"I have my trustworthy sources. We're done"

"Wait, I still wanna know who told you I was cheating on you" When Troy didn't answer Sarah looked at Gabriella. "Oh my god, this little slut told you?!" She shrieked. Gabriella scowled and Troy's blood was boiling.

"What did you say?" Troy asked clearly trying to maintain his anger.

"You're cheating on me with this cheap little skank right here aren't you? And your blaming all this shit on me! How dare you!" She scoffed. Gabriella stood there mouth opened,speechless.

"Gabriella is NOT a cheap skank" Troy defended.

"Okay then, she's a fucking man-stealer BITCH" Sarah screamed.

"WHOA. Hold it right there." Gabriella spoke up. "i am NOT a fucking man-stealer, don't blame crap on me just because you got caught cheating"

"Who the hell said I was cheating?" Sarah screeched.

"According to your text messages and that little phone call I had with...whats his name...Brandon? You were most likely CHEATING" Gabriella growled.

"You fucking took my stuff!? YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" Sarah screamed loudly. Sarah's hand was 3 inches away from hitting Gabriella's cheek when Troy caught her wrist.

"Don't you dare hit the girl I love" Troy hissed in a dangerously low voice.


Oooooooooooh. That was fun to write. I wanted that little girl fight to be better but idk how. Hahah.

But I sooo love that last part (:

Sorry to cut it short. Thats the shortest chapter I have EVER written. Only 7 pages! I was going to die if I didn't write more. But I just seriously wanted to stop it there (:

Whats going to happen?! How will Gabriella react?! How will Sarah react?! Oooohh. So many questions only if I listed 2 hah.

The song Troy sang was..

When you look me in the eyes-Jonas Brothers.

Its an easy one to guess..
