God, i feel so stupid for even considering that rumor was true!! Thanks guys for clearing up my mind!! People should really stop making rumors geez...Well anyways heres the new chapter!! Whats Troy gonna tell her? Youre gonna hate me for this but it will be good i promise :D! RXR

"Gaby..." Troy started. "Yes??" Gabriella answered still looking into his eyes. "I... Troy couldnt finish since the phone rang in that second. Gabriella rolled her eyes slightly annoyed and picked up the phone. Troy felt a little annoyed and at the same time releived What was i going to tell her? He shuddered silently and looked at Gabriella.

"Hello?" she said.

"Taylor!! Yes yes im fine it was jut a clumsy moment of mine..." her tone was lighter and a sheepish smile appeared in her tanned face.

"Well theres not much to tell but Ill tell you tomorrow, I really need to rest..." Gabriella lied. She didnt really need rest but she didnt feel like talking about something she honestly didnt remember.

"Ok byee Tay!" and with that she hung up the phone.

She turned to look at Troy and asked, "What did you want to tell me Troy?" He blushed slightly and said "Oh nothing it was nothing..."

Gabriella sighed and said "Oh..." She felt disapointed for no reason, she expected something else although she wasnt exactly sure what.

There was an awkard silence broken by a shy "So...hows your head?" He sat right next beside her and put a hand on her head soflty caressing her chocolate hair.

She felt her cheeks burn and said "Fine really, i just cant remember what happened." Troy chuckled and said "Yeah that ussually happens when you get tackled by a guy like him..." Gabriella giggled and stared at him.

"Thanks...for eveyrhing"she said smiling. He blushed some more and said "Dont mention it..."

Just then breaking all the silence the doorbell rang Gabriella sighed and said "Its probably my mom, i hope you didnt worry her to much!" Gabriella was about to get up but Troy held her back and said "Woah woah easy there, ill get it. We dont want you to hurt yourself anymore..." Gabriella glared at him and stuck out her tongue at him. He just chuckled and went downstairs to get the door.

He opened it and automatically said "Ms Montez everythings...Alan?" Troy looked puzzled at the blonde boy standing in the doorframe with something behind his back. "Hey Troy, umm how is she?" Troy thought a little and said "Er-shes...sleeping! right now"

Alan looked a little disapointed and was about to say something when a voice shouted "Who is it Troy?" Troy looked up the stairs and rolled his eyes, "I guess shes awake now..."

"Can i come in and see her then?" Alan asked eagerly. Troy sighend and said "Sure why not..." Alan smiled and pulled his hand from behind his back revealing a bouquet of pink roses. Troy saw them in horror and then led Alan to Gabriellas room. Before they entered he said quickly "Umm i can put them in water..." Alan shook his head and said "Nah i want to give them to her." Troy nodded and glared at him when he wasnt looking.

Alan leaned agains the door frame and said "Knock Knock" Gabriella looked up and said giggling "Whos there?" Alan chuckled and said "Alan..."

"Alan who?" she said smiling. Troy groaned and looked away in disgust. "Alan brought you flowers thats who!" he said coming in and revealing the flowers.

Gabriella gasped and said "Aw theyre gorgeous! Thank you so much!" Alan handed them to her and said "Anytime hon.." Troy looked up when he called her "hon", he was disliking this guy more and more eachtime. Gabriella also looked surprised when he called her that so she quickly turned her gaze to the flowers and sighed as she smelled them. She stretched her hand and pointed toward her window and said "Theres a vase righ there next to the curtaing, do you mind filling it with water and placing the floweres there, i dont want them to dry up" "Sure thing" Alan said takign the flowers from Gabriella, but instead of doing it himself he handed them to Troy. Troy glared at him and snatched the flowers he stood up and got the vase. He sighed and went into the bathroom to fill the vase with water. As he turned on the water he relaxed. The sound of rushing water seem to clear his thoughts. He knew something big was happening, he felt anger, happiness, jealousy, and other good and bad feelings he couldnt even describe all at one. He noticed they all circled around her, offcourse the bad feelings tended to be that blonde guys fault. He acted impulisvely and without thinking around her. Whats happening to me? Im i really...falling, for her? For Gabriella, my best friend? Troy shook his head trying to shake that thought off but deep down he knew he couldnt. All this left him with one important question...How does she feel about me?

He was too deep in his own thoughts to notice the overfilled vase and the water that didnt stop running. "Shoot!" he said quickly turning off the faucend and pouring some of the extraw water out of the vase.

He placed the vase next to the window and went for the flowers. Gabriella handed them to him smiling and he couldnt help but to smile back. He placed the flowers in the vase and went to sit next to her.

As Troy sat next to her an awkdard silence filled the room. He took a deep breath and said "So Alan, howd you like the school so far?" Alan seemed surprised by Troys sudden interest and said "It great! Everyone is really cool im having a good time!" Troy nodded trying to fake interest. "Are you thinking about joining any clubs or teams?" Gabriella asked.

Alan chuckled and said "Ive been talking to your friend Taylor about the Decathlon team..." Gabriella pressed her hand into a fist and smile nodding. Im gonna kill Taylor for this, what is she up to anyways? "I heard about a mathlete competition in San Diego so im gonna check that out, are you going?" he asked. San Diego? Gabriella and Alan in San diego? Troy thought and stared at Gabriella waiting for her answer.

Gabriella smiled and said "Im already going, if youre interested you should try out right away theres only 2 spots left..." Alan chuckled and said "It shouldnt be to hard..." Gabriella raised an eyebrow and said "Youre still a math whiz arent you?"

Alan chuckled and said "Yep, havent change a bit!" Gabriella chuckled and looked at Troy "Why are you so quiet? Is something wrong?" Troy saw the concern in her eyes and said "No, No im fine, Er Gaby its getting late i think you should get some rest now.."

Alan looked at his watch and said "Yep hes right its alrady 9:30 i better get going!" He got up and kisssed Gabriella on the cheek and said "Sweetdreams Gabe!" She couldnt help but to blush a little and said "Goodnight Alan."

Troy saw this and felt like ripping Alans head off. "Night Troy.." Alan said going out the room. Troy just nodded and sighed. "You dont like Alan do you?" Gabriella asked moving closer to Troy. "No not really..."he was surprised by her question but even more by his own answer. He didnt even think about answering it that way he watched Gabriella wating for her response. She just chuckled and said "Yeah i noticed..." Troy shrugged and said "I dont know, theres just something about him that really bothers me..."

Gabriella nodded and said "I see...Well hes a nice guy if you give him a chance..." Troy shook his head and said "You seem to really like him though..." Gabriella chuckled and said "Hes just an old friend Troy..." Troy lifted an eyebrow and said "hmph..." Gabriella saw this and facing him sing sang "Is somebody jealous?" He opened his eyes in surprise and immediately said "Hell no! Of him? NO way..." Gabriella laughed and said "Chill Bolton! Im just teasing you!"

Troy gasped in mock offense and said "Im gonna get you for that!" and then starting tickling her. "Stop!! Stop! Troy stop now!!" Gabriella pleaded between laughs. Troy stopped still laughing and Gabriella stuck her tongue at him. He just chuckled.

Gabriella was catching her breath when she suddenly collapsed in the bed. Troy immediately went to her side and said "Gaby! Gaby are you ok? Gaby can you hear me?" Troy was about to call someone when a little moan escaped Gabriellas mouth.

Troy looked at her and asked "Gabriella?" Her eyes remained closed but another moaned a little louder this time escaped her mouth. Troy looked worried at her and said "Im gonna go get the phone and call your mom ok?" He stared at her waiting for an answer and she just said almost whispering "Dont...Troy..."

"Stay, lie next to me..." she mumbled. Troy felt really confused but he didnt want to upset her so he did as he was told. He walked to the other side of the bed and lied next to her. He couldnt help but to feel guilty, had it been the tickling that exhausted her?

Gabriella felt Troys warm hand besider her own and grabbed it. Troy could feel his cheeks burn and looked at Gabriella she still had her eyes closed, but she looked more peacefull now. Troy held Gabriellas hand tighter and could see a smile cross her face.

"Close...close-your eyes" Gabriella said slowly. Troy was about to ask her why but instead just closed them. They stayed there with there eyes closed for a couple of seconds and then Gabriellas grip of his hand became stronger and she kneeled next to him and with one free hand started tickling him ferociously. He opened her eyes and couldnt stop laughing.

She laughed and said "Gotcha!!" He still laughed and said "Dirty pull Montez! Dirty pull!" Gabriella still tickled him and said "Nobody said i played nicely" She smiled and then Troy kicked his leg causing Gabriella to lose her balance. She fell on top of Troys chest facing him. Their hands where still intertwined and they stared into eachothers eyes for a long time. A million thoughts were rushing through their heads. Gabriella knew she should get off him but her legs and body refused to move. Instead of moving away from him she just let her head rest on his chest. She could feel his heart beat accelerate as she did.

Troy froze for a moment unsure of what to do, impulsively he raised his free hand and wrapped it around her waist. Then he moved it up and started running his fingers through her hair. It comforted Gabriella and she closed her eyes.

None of them spoke a word but they could feel a feeling of joy rushing through their bodies. Troy lowered his hand and left it on her back and closed his eyes. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes,nothing could break this feeling they had, nothing could slow down their speeding hearts and just like that they fell asleep comforting eachother...

So ok, Troy didnt tell her how he felt but he doesnt even know it himself so its not his fault! And yeah Alan is starting to become a load and let me just tell you hes gonna get worst!
