Saving Her . . . .

[A/N: Sorry ya'll! I've been busy lately. No title, hahah!]

A few days went by. Troy and the girls had been hanging out after work. Their like best friends now, and they are. They already hung out at the park, catch a movie together, play games at the arcade, chill at one another's room together and even went on a friendly date. More details about the date, Miley is kind of like the kid among them all. However, Troy and Gabriella seemed to be having such chemistry that they don't realise.

If you're wondering, Troy's 24 years old and he had already graduated. He's going to be starting his career but, not just yet.

"Oh.. Guys! I gotta go," Miley declared after taking a glance at her purple wrist watch.

She hugged Gabriella and did a handshake with Troy. She trotted down the street hurriedly with her high heels after waving Goodbye. It was now 8 pm and dark out. The moonlight shone while the stars twinkled at the two sharing jokes and funny experiences with each other.

"I laughed so hard that the smoothie came out through my nose!" Gabriella giggled.

Troy laughed out loud at that and was now out of breath. Gabriella smiled. Troy does the same, trying to catch his breath, as Gabriella's eyes gazed at him.

"Just a minute," Troy stopped walking. "Take this," he took off his jacket and swang it on her shoulders. "It's freezing right now, I don't want you catching a cold."

"Just you holding me makes me feel warm already," her mind thought.

Gabriella snapped out of it. "Did I just say that?" she murmured under her breath.

"What?" Troy pulled his eyebrows together.

She shook her head, "Nothing."

"Okay then.. "

They started walking again. Gabriella gripped onto the jacket that was loose around her body. She then looked up into the dark sky and sigh with a smile. Troy followed her gaze and turned back to her to see that she was already looking at him, grinning.

"Do you have a star?" she sat down on a bench and he did the same.

"Yep, mine is right there," he pointed to a star that seems like 10 inches away from the moon. Well, that was what they saw from their sight.

"And mine's right there," Gabriella pointed to the brightest star that night.

"Well that's funny," he paused.

Gabriella looked at him with a questioning look.

"It's.. right next to.. mine," he continued slowly as his blue eyes settled into Gabriella's beautiful eyes.

They gazed into each other. Their hearts beating fast against their chest and slowly beating at the same pace, audible to their own ears. Troy glanced at her lips. He made his move and placed his hand slowly at the back of her neck. He licked his lips slightly and pulled Gabriella towards him as he leans in too.

Their eyes fluttered shut but then they froze as she backed away, going against his hand that's pushing her in. They stared at each other, wide-eyed, and pulled apart immediately.

"Erm," Troy cleared his throat.

Gabriella pulled her eyebrows together with a sad, confused expression and gazed to the ground.

They kept silent.

Troy tried to turn his head to her but he kept on going back to his original position, facing the ground as well. Gabriella did the same. Then finally, their eyes met again.

He cleared his throat again and Gabriella turned pink.

"I'll get you home, or are you staying with Miles?"

"Home."

"Got it."

They immediately got up and walked to her house in silence.

The Next Day

"So.. Did it happened? Did you kiss? Tell me, tell me, TELL ME!" Miley jumped up and down like a little girl as she gripped onto Gabriella's shoulders tightly.

".. Miley.. Miley.." she became annoyed,"MILEY!"

As Miley stopped, both the girls turned their heads to the audience watching them. Miley chuckled nervously with a big embarrased smile on her face.

"Enjoy your smoothies!" Gabriella covered for herself.

She gave Miley a glare as the customers went back to acting normal.

"So, did it happened?" she nudged Gabriella's shoulder with a grin.

"Nope," she replied while lifting her shoulders up abit.

Miley's face sunk. "What?"

Gabriella giggled and shook her head.

"You stopped the kiss didn't you?"

"Of course I did."

"Why?" Miley pouted.

"Miley, it's only been 3 weeks since we met."

"That means, in another week, you'll lean in and kiss him?"

"Miles!"

"What? 4 weeks ain't enough? Okay then, make it 2 months from now.."

"Miley!" she giggled.

Just then, a customer came in.

"Hey, what's good here?" he walked up to the counter.

Gabriella who was looking at her register frowned. That sounded familiar. She looked up and broke into a smile.

"Hey Troy," the girls greeted in unison.

They chatted for awhile.

"Oh hey, i'll be back in a while. Bathroom," she went to the Ladies.

"Hey Miles, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything," she nodded.

"Would it be awkward asking a girl, whom you've known for only 3 weeks and almost kissed her, out on a date?

[A/N: Hey! I was wondering, is my story boring to you? Because it is to me... D: So if you could please give me some ideas on how to continue, got some writer's block :3.. Oh and, include Troyella's date. :D]

This Chapter is Darn Short.. Disappoints me, I'll make them longer, don't worry!
