An: Thanks for the reviews..

When I got home that night from dance my mother was there. Waiting. At the door. What was wrong with her now? I was dancing, making friends and doing well at school what else did this narcotic woman want. I shuffled in the door past her, trying to avoid her eyes. I needed a shower.

"Who was that" she asked, giving me the look

"Who"

"That guy" she asked, as I took my hair out from my bun and let it hang loose

"Troy Bolton" why was she asking me this, I had friends, be happy bitch

"What's he to you" why did she care, he was rich and single, she would normally be allowing me to throw myself at him in order to get into his pants

"Nobody" I sighed, going up the stairs, though my mind was elsewhere

"I don't want you near him"

I scoffed and headed to my room. Was she really serious, she didn't think I was going to stay away from him, did she?, he was beginning to be nice to me, ruse or otherwise, I didn't seem to mind one bit. But Pays words were consistently in my ear 'don't go near him', and 'pig' and all. I wasn't sure what to do anymore, whether to love him or to hate him.

That night was a horrible one, I couldn't concentrate on my homework, I didn't do very much in the end. His face was what occupied my mind. I decided to head out to my balcony just do get some clarity, I had to be alone, I had to work out what I was feeling. Taking a blanket, I headed out to the cold evening air. I looked up at the stars, though they were covered by the cloud of the early evening, taking a deep sigh I looked around me again, I almost screamed in surprise, when Troy popped his head around the side, I thought I was hallucinating.

"What the-"

"am I doing here" he asked, taking out the cussin

"Yeah" I sighed, closing my eyes, taking in the air around me, which I seemed to need a lot more of

"I missed you" he said grimly

I looked up at him "But this is stalking"

He sat down beside me "I don't mind" he laughed, pulling the blanket around him

"I do" I sighed, pulling the blanket from him

I was sick of him popping around whenever he felt lonely. He needed to leave me alone, because when I was with him I couldn't think straight, and I rarely sounded like I made any sense. I needed to figure out how I truly felt, not what he did. Because I knew what he was doing, but I also knew that I was falling for it. So he had to leave. He had to leave me alone.

"What's wrong" he asked, taking my hand in his, I pulled it away, moving from him, so that my thoughts were sane

"We can't keep doing this, I mean we could have been friends but you just, you don't call, nothing" I sighed, resting my head in my hands

"We're not doing anything, and we are friends, and look I'll call in the future" he said, keeping his distance

"No because we shouldn't be friends" I sighed, knowing that I would mentally kick myself for this conversation later on.

"Why" he asked, sounding baffled that people wouldn't want to be friends with him

"Because I don't trust you" I sighed, figuring that I had nothing more to say on the subject

He sighed, he obviously didn't think that I wouldn't trust him because he had told me to believe him that he had changed.

"I'm trying" he sighed, pursing his lips

"Please don't, because we shouldn't be friends"

"I wanna be more than friends"

"Ugh" I sighed, I was sick of this

"Can you just please just stop and look at me" he said, exposing his arms to the open air

"I'm not gonna be your anything okay, you know what I thought I could do this but I cant" I sighed, shaking myself free

"We can't be friends now" he asked, startled that somebody wouldn't want to be friends with him

"You're too weird, you're hot one minute.." I sighed looking into the pools of beauty that were his eyes "You're cold the next, you wanna be friends, then you wanna be more than friends, you're too much to handle okay"

"For fuck sake, you know what gabi, I know you like me" he said, pulling my arm, as I turned to go back inside

"Arrogant son of a bitch" I shouted, pulling the firm grip from my arm

"I know you want me" he said, unphased "I know it, you know it too"

"I don't" I said, wishing he would go

He needed to leave "I just want you to go, please"

I couldn't deal with him because if I stayed here too long with him, I would end up kissing him and regretting the decision soon after. Pleading with him, though doesn't work, he usually got his own way.

"I'm not going anywhere until you admit it" he smirked, pulling me into him

"I'll never admit it" I whispered, pushing his arms from my hold

He laughed, he was so ignorant, I couldn't stand him. Why couldn't he just leave me, I wasn't something special. I could go on without him. I would be better if I didn't have anything to do with him. But sometimes, he could be so sweet, good acting, but I was falling for it, and I knew it, that's why he needed to leave. I wasn't going to be another one of them victims. Another story, another mistake from some girl.

I was so confused. I needed to be by myself. He had to go. His face fell. He wad beginning to realise that I was serious, but I also knew that he wasn't about to give up on me, he was going to try his level best to get me to fall for him.

"Please" he said, lifting my face to meet his

"I. don't. have. feelings. for. you" I said emphasising each letter , wanting to say the opposite

"You do" he smiled, a grin so beautiful it melted my anger

"I don't" i repeated, wishing he would give up

"You don't know how much I want you" he said huskily

It was at that moment that I made the biggest mistake ever, I leaned up and kissed him. My lips were on fire as I pressed my lips against his, my head swam with his touch and my skin burned at the thought of him and I together. But he pulled away.

"I'm sorry" he sighed "You're right, that shouldn't have happened"

My head fell, nodding I knew that he was right. I had no right to do that, no right at all. That's why I needed him to stop, to go away, at least he was being honest here. He wasn't going to do something that horrible, I wasn't going to give anything for him. He would give up. Anguish flooded through me. And I didn't know why.

"Yeah" I nodded, we needed to just go our seperate ways

"But I'm not saying I didn't like it, I just know you're not like that" he smiled, touching my hand and kissing it lightly

"Yeah right" I nodded, making sure I didn't look disappointed, Pay wouldn't forgive me of this got out

"Can you please just consider me as a friend"

"It's too hard I can't, I'm sorry" knowing that I wanted to just hit somebody for making me like this

"What, why, can't we be friends"

"Because I don't trust myself with you" I sighed, and with that he got up and left me there, alone in the night.
