It was the middle of April and everyone was becoming anxious for school to be out. The gang was about to finish their first year of high school. It was a trip for all of them, finding out where there fit in. Troy was finally off crutches but he still had to walk with his boot on, he wasn't quite finished with therapy yet and still needed to take Bryce up on his deal about basketball. Dylan and Troy have barley spoken in the past month in a half. Troy had no idea what was wrong him. Did he do something? He tried talking about it with him but it was no use. Gabriella and Troy have still been going strong. Now that he can walk without crutches he finally was going to get to take her out, he couldn't have been more excited.

Chad was at Troy's house while he was getting ready for his date.

Chad was lying on Troy's bed throwing the basketball in the air, "So where are you guy's going tonight?"

Troy came in from the bathroom, "Well I made us a picnic, I Troy not Zeke, and were going to the park and have a picnic and maybe something after that."

Chad: "That is it? That is what you guys are going to do?"

Troy looked at him, "Well maybe we will do something else." Troy was shying off.

"Ok what are you not telling me?" Chad sat up.

"Nothing!"

"Yeah ok Troy the worst liar ever Bolton." And rolled his eyes.

"Well I was thinking about telling Gabi I loved her and I don't know how to do it." Troy sat on his bed and sighed.

Chad got fake excited, "Oh I know how!"

Troy looked at him, "Really? Help me out then!"

Chad was still pretending to act excited, "Ready? Repeat after me. 'I'"

Troy: "I"

Chad: "Love"

Troy: "Love"

Chad: "You!"

"You." Troy finally caught on and hit him upside the head.

"I know how to say that! Like what setting and all that stuff."

Chad: "Oh well you're screwed on that, I can't help you there."

Troy: "How did you tell Taylor again?"

Chad layed back down, "I don't know it just came out when it felt right. It will be the same for you."

Troy ran his hand through his hair, "Yeah I guess you're right."

Later Troy went up to Gabi's door and she answered.

"Hey!" She was smiling.

"Hey! These are for you madam." Troy then handed he a mixture of pretty flowers he had bought for her. Gabi grabbed them and smelt them.

"Mmh these smell wonderful, thank you!" Gabi set them on the table inside her door.

"Mom I am leaving!" And she shut the door.

They started walking to the park hand in hand which was about 5 minutes away.

"So what are we doing tonight Wildcat?"

"Oh you know I thought we should have a little picnic in the park." Troy went before hand to set everything up.

"Did you make the picnic?" Gabi grinned, she thought of the last time "Troy" made dinner.

"Why yes, yes I did this time." Troy looked down and smiled. "You know, blue is a really good color on you."

"Really, you think so? I think it looks better on you because of your eyes. I think it is the best color on you."

"Well thanks. And yes I think so. You look amazing in anything really." Gabi blushed. Troy was always complimenting her.

They got to the picnic site and sat down. They started to eat and talk about school and a bunch of different things.

"Well well chef Troy I am very impressed!"

Troy laughed, "Thanks, it took me forever, this was my third attempt" Gabi laughed, Troy was not meant to cook.

Gabi: "So what do you want to do after this?"

Troy got an idea, "Do you want to do on my boat?"

Gabi: "Uh sure." She had no idea why that came up but she did feel like going for a ride.

Troy and Gabi went to Troy grandparent's house because that is where they kept the boat since they lived on the lake. Gabi has never been to Troy's grandparent house or have seen his boat.

Troy help Gabi to the boat and off they went.

Gabi: "Where are we going?" She yelled.

"Over here, there is a really good view."

Gabi had never been on Troy's boat since it was winter time. She was loving life at the moment. She finally got to go on the date, Troy looked extra hot tonight, she couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. Troy slowed down coming to a stop. He got up and put the anchor down.

"This is the best spot on the lake. My paw-paw always took my brother and me here to watch the sun set. I want to share it with you."

Gabi was shocked. 'Guys like sunsets?' She thought. Troy lifted up one of the compartments and layed out a blanket on the bow (front of boat).

"Come here."

Gabi got up and went and sat next to Troy on the blanket. The sun was starting to set.

Troy looked at her. 'Wow she so beautiful.' Gabi caught Troy looking at her.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Gabi put her hand up to her face.

Troy laughed, "Nope."

Gabi: "I didn't know guys like sunsets."

Troy: "Well most guys don't. But I've always pictured myself telling a girl I love 'I love you' here." Troy looked back at Gabriella and smiled. Gabi started to freak out inside.

She looked at him, "So what does this mean?"

Troy looked Gabi in her eyes.

"Gabi you are the best girl in the world. You have stood by my side, you've helped me, you make me laugh, smile and make me feel a million other emotions I have never felt before. I have never met or seen a girl more beautiful than you. Ever since the day I met you I knew you were special. You just have something that no other girl has, I can't explain it." Troy was really nervous. Gabi had tears in her eyes.

"I love you Gabriella."

Gabi looked at him with her tearful eyes. "I love you too Troy."

Troy smiled wrapped her in a hug, they layed down and started kissing a million times. They layed there in each other's arms finally feeling relived about what they've been trying to tell each other the past couple of months.

"I love you so much." Troy whispered in her ear.

They layed there and watched the sunset.

"This is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with me."

'Chad was right surprisingly' Troy thought. The time and place came to him and it felt right. He had forgotten about tell her on the boat. He couldn't wait until summer came and he was on the boat all the time. Every time he is on here it will always remind him of this moment. Troy was happy Gabriella felt the same way he did. Troy was excited for what was ahead. Playing basketball, getting to drive soon, playing for the school next year. Things were perfect…for now.
