Music pumped through the house and colored lights shone through the windows. Gabriella paused nervously by the front door, put Sharpay linked arms with her new friend and pulled her through the door. Inside were swarms of people, dancing, talking, laughing and Gabriella had to squint at the first for her eyes to get adjusted to the room.

"Come on!" Taylor shouted over the music. "The others are over there!" Taylor pointed over to where Troy and Kelsi were standing on the other side of the room. As they got closer, they saw Chad and Zeke standing there also, and Jason appeared from another room shortly after. Gabriella smiled shyly at Troy, who grinned back. Troy's hair was still slightly damp-looking from his shower and he wore a grey button-down shirt and jeans. Gabriella was wearing a black halter-neck and skinny-legs, her arms crossed nervously across her chest.

"Can we dance?" Chad asked no-one in particular. Taylor snorted.

"Who'd wanna dance with you?!" Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Look, guys, we all know you like each other, and I'm pretty sure you guys both know it," Gabriella said bluntly. "Start dancing now, and we all know you're gonna be pashing each other before the nights out." Taylor's mouth dropped and Chad went to talk, but then Sharpay butted in.

"Dude, don't say anything. I don't even like you and I want you two to get together. Just get lost," Sharpay, shoving Chad in Taylor's direction. They looked at each other for a moment, then walked to where everyone was dancing, blending in with the rest of the crowd. Sharpay then turned to look at the group. "I wanna dance as well. Any takers?" She smiled at Zeke who linked arms with her.

"Course," he said with a grin.

"You wanna walk?" Troy asked Gabriella softly. She smiled and nodded, interlacing their fingers together and they walked away. Several girls shot glares in their direction, but Gabriella managed to pick Krystel out in the crowd, and the cheerleader sent a smile in her direction. Gabriella smiled back and then followed Troy out the back door and onto the balcony. It was quieter, and empty, and Gabriella could only just make out the words of the song that was playing at the moment. It was a song by Rhianna featuring Ne-Yo called Hate That I Love You. Gabriella smiled and tilted her head to one side, a strand of hair falling out of the messy-bun and across her cheek.

"I love this song," Gabriella murmured. Troy smiled at removed his hand from hers, putting it around her waist instead, pulling her closer to him. Gabriella smiled and rested her head on his sturdy chest. "And I love you…" Gabriella mumbled into his shirt. Troy thought ha hadn't heard properly and pulled away, frowning slightly.

"What?" He asked. Gabriella blushed slightly, but said boldly,

"You heard me," she replied. Troy smiled slightly and put his hands on her hips. He pulled her closer to him, so that she was pressed right up next to him. "Wh-what?" She asked, her breath hitching. He lowered his mouth so that his lips were pressed against her neck and his hair was brushing against her cheek. " Troy…" He kissed her neck and then raised his lips so they met her mouth.

"I love you too, Gabi," he murmured. Gabriella smiled widely at him and kissed him on the mouth, her arms going around his neck. He lifted her up so she was sitting on the wooden railing. His arms went around her waist pulling her closer to him. Neither of them knew that they were being watched from the doorway. Sharpay grinned and shook her head, she turned around and called softly,

"Hey, guys! Check this out!" Ryan, Zeke, Kelsi and Jason came over quickly and all grinned when they saw them. "Where's the other two?" Sharpay grumbled. "Urgh," Sharpay rolled her eyes when she saw Taylor and Chad pressed against a wall, involved in only themselves. "How did we know?" But there was a smile on her mouth as she turned away.

Still oblivious to the attention they were getting, Troy and Gabriella were still kissing, loving every moment.

Wow…It's finished!
