Hey, I promised on Zac and Vanessa that I would update and I would NEVER break a promise on them! Well I've decided to keep things pretty innocent, I mean come on I'm 12, I can't think up very much steam anyway. I have looked back on my writing and am TOTALLY ashamed at how many grammatical mistakes I've made, it's kind of pathetic, and I know it seems like I say this a lot but I'm really sorry! Hope you enjoy this chapter though all your reviews are very much appreciated and make me have spazz attacks when I see the number of them!

Gabriella sighed with a smile, "So far so good"

He leaves you cute text notes.

Tick…Tock…Tick…Tock…Tick MY GOD HOW LONG CAN THIS WOMEN TALK?

Gabriella Montez thought with frustration as her science teacher Mrs. Warren was rambling on about something Gabriella had learned in the 6th grade. Usually she enjoyed being refreshed but she had to admit this was an all time boring, and when Gabriella thought a class was boring, you know it was boring. Tapping her pencil against the desk she and the rest of the class waited for something interesting to happen. A fire drill, an announcement they would settle for the air conditioning making an odd sound, anything that they could take their attention away from the teacher. Suddenly all their wishes came true when Chad walked into the classroom.

"May I help you Mr. Danforth?" Mrs. Warren asked, a bit annoyed that because of him she lost her train of thought.

"Yes this package is for Gabriella, I've been told it's very important but not to be opened until class is over."

"Very well" Chad then walked to Gabriella's desk and placed the envelope on her desk, but not before Gabriella leaded up to him and whispered,

"He didn't?"

"Oh yes he did" Chad replied in the same hushed tone and then he turned on his heel and left. Gabriella looked at the envelope long and hard, trying to figure out what could be inside. Finally the clock struck 9:15 and the students rushed out of the room, all except Gabriella and Taylor. The both shared a wondering glance and Gabriella ripped the top of the envelope off, inside was a simple piece of computer paper. She unfolded it and it read,

Kelsi showed me this song, it reminded me of you.

Every day, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,
I can hold my head high,
And it's all because you're by my side.

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

Hope you liked it

Love,

Troy

Both girls finished the letter and shared a long 'awww' as they walked out of the classroom.

"Girl, do you realize how lucky you are to have Troy? He's so sweet!"

"Come on, doesn't Chad do these things for you?"

"He tries, but I have to say he kind of sucks at it, I guess that's what I love about the guy he's a dork"

"Oh am I?" The bushy haired teen asked, surprising both girls as he turned the corner.

"Yea, but you're my dork" The two shared a quick kiss and looked up at Gabi.

"Hey Chad have you seen your basketball buddy anywhere?"

"Oh you mean Mr. Corny gush boy? He had to go to the gym for some extra practice but he told me to tell you something really important."

"And…?"

"Agh man, Zeke and I got into some really deep convo about those Webkinz things my sister always plays with (a/n those things annoy the hell out of me I have no idea why but it's UGH ok back to the story) and I kind of forget." Both girls rolled their eyes and Gabriella walked off to her and Troy's shared locker. She opened it up, grabbed her Math textbook and walked to class. When she flipped open to the assigned page she found a folded post-it, she shook her head a happy grin on her face and unfolded it:

I know how much you love math,

and wouldn't want your pesky boyfriend bothering you

but I got to say, you've been on my mind all day, I didn't mean

to rhyme…just spending too much time, with Chad

who is so rad…ok I'll stop.

Can't wait to see you later.

Love,

Troy

By the way look to your right.

Gabi looked up with a puzzled look as her brown eyes meet with blue. He was standing outside of the door window at an angle where the teacher couldn't see him, but Gabriella could. He winked, she giggled and then he was gone. Amanda, one of her classmates leaned over and asked,

"Who are you smiling at?" While searching the room for something that might have caught her eye.

"Oh nothing, just a friend" Gabriella replied as she began to focus on what the teacher was writing on the board.

Gabriella carried on with her day and lunch finally arrived. The second she closed her locker she felt two muscular arms around her waist and a head land on her shoulder.

"How you doing?" He mumbled into the crock of her neck.

"Very good Bolton, I got your notes" He smiled and turned her around facing him, their fingers still intertwined.

"So you liked them" He asked a playfully cocky grin on his face.

"Of course"

"So how about one more?"

"I could deal with that" Gabriella replied as Troy fished out a crumpled piece of red paper.

"I wrote this one in art, which should explain why it's written in oil pastels." Gabi giggled and opened the note. Her eyes quickly scanned over it and began to water. She had heard him say it to her many times to her before and she had to him, but the meaning of them would always fill her up with joy. Every time she heard them, or read them, her heart would skip a beat and her cheeks would turn a light pink. Those three words teenage girls dream about, or hear because they have already had their dreams come true. On the small piece of paper Troy Bolton had written:

I love you.

Check

He's kissed you, in the rain.

Gabriella mind flouted back to one of the most romantic kisses of her life, her and Troy's first kiss.

Flashback:

Gabriella Montez and her best friend Troy Bolton were walking home from school, like they did every other day but today was different. Troy was planning on telling his best friend that he wanted to be more then friends, that somewhere along the way, he fell in love with her, but the words were getting caught up and his nerves were getting the best of him.

"So that's why Chad never gets his hair wet! Who would have guessed?" Gabriella giggled as Troy finished his humorous story about their odd friend.

"Gabs?" He asked, his voice suddenly becoming serious, which Gabriella picked up quickly and gave him her full attention.

"Yea Troy?"

"I ugh…I just want to tell you ugh you know um…ugh"

"Come on Troy, you know you can tell me anything, what's on your mind?"

"I'vebeeninlovewithyousincewemeetandiwantedtoknowifyouwouldbemygirlfriend" Troy mumbled in a rush, making it sound like his entire speech was one word.

"Huh?" Gabriella asked, titling her head to the side, reminded Troy of an adorable puppy.

"Gabriella, I've been in…" But before Troy could finish his sentence a huge crack of thunder was heard and a fierce lighting came after, warning the two if they didn't move fast, they were going to get soaked. Troy quickly grabbed Gabriella's hand and the two sprinted to the nearest cover, which turned out to be a wooden gazebo near the park, The teens both plopped down on the beach and took a few deep breaths, once they had recollected their selves Gabriella asked,

"So what were you saying before?" Troy took a deep breath, it was now or never…and his nerves were telling him never, but then the words came spilling out.

"Ever since we meet I knew there was something special between us, I mean not just a friendship but something much more powerful. We've grown to know each other a lot better and we've had insanely great times with each other, even some rough times too." Troy took Gabriella's hands into his, rubbing the back of them slowly. "Even Chad has noticed there's something here, and you know how oblivious he is. So what I'm trying to say Gabi is that, I want to be more then friends and I don't mean to sound like some cheesy loser who's stalking you but I just needed to get this off my chest." Gabriella sat in shock, I mean what girl wouldn't if Troy Bolton (or Zac Efron) just admitted he's basically been in love with you, the amazing thing was, she felt the exact same way, the long pause scared Troy though and he began walking away, out of the gazebo, and into the pouring rain. It took Gabriella a few seconds to realize he got up and she ran after him.

"Troy…Troy wait up!" She screamed over the noise of the thunder. He stopped but didn't look back, when she caught up he said,

"Gabi, you don't have to make up an excuse I know you don't feel the same way."

"But I do! I want to be more then friends Troy, I can feel that there is more between us, I feel the same way!" The brown haired boy looked down at the girl in front of him, wet hair sticking to her face; he gently touched it and moved the strays away. Then he slowly did what he had wanted to do for the longest, he placed his lips on hers in a sweet kiss. Gabriella immediately knew what to do, placing her arms around his neck while his found their way around her waist. She stood higher on her toes so that she could play with Troys hair. When air became an issue the two separated, both smiling like fools at each other, but it didn't really matter because Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez were finally together.

"Will you be my girlfriend Brie?"

"Let me think…" She teased, pretending to think very hard.

"Tell me if this helps you make up your mind" He said, once again placing his lips on hers, this time for a very short, almost teasing amount of time.

"Well, in the words of Sharpay, DUH!"

End Flashback:

Gabriella had to giggle a bit, "Troy was right about one thing, we are cheesy"

Hope you liked! Time to work on Maria Montez! Oh by the way that first song is 'When You Look Me in the Eyes' by the Jonas Brothers, who by the way, I have become obsessed with ever since I got the chance to hug Nick and Kevin!
