Chapter 7 - In Her Room
Troy walked along the sidewalk, he couldn't wait until he was at Chad's house, with the possible meeting of Gabriella. He thought that was a beautiful name, it suited her.
Before he knew it he was outside Chad's house. He swallowed hard, and casually opened the gate, taking his time up the path, then eventually knocked on the door. After a few seconds the door was opened. It was Maria.
"Oh, hello there Troy, come in, come in"
Troy stepped inside, looking around for Chad or Gabriella, he saw no-one.
"Eh, thanks for letting me come."
"Your very welcome, any friend of Chad's is welcome"
"Is Chad around?"
Maria realised, and laughed slightly, "Oh, he's out with his Dad at the moment, will be back in about 10 minutes, I should think, just head on up", she pointed to the staris, "and i'll send him up when he gets in"
"Thanks" Troy headed up the stairs.
He walked along the corridor. Chad's room was at the end of the hallway. He walked passed another door, which was slightly open, and his curiousity got the better of him. He peered inside.
It was lilac, filled with everything white, purple or pink. A typical girly room, but it was different somehow. It had a different air to it, than the other girly rooms he had been in, and believe him, he had been in a few. He looked down the hallway and stairs cautiously, then opened the door to Gabriella's room futher, stepping inside.
He was hit by the sweet fragnence of Gabriella, he supposed. He stood at the same spot, taking in every detail. She had a lot of pictures there, mostly of her and Maria, some of her girl friends, a few with Chad, but also some of a man. A man he realised.
He walked up to the picture, looking from Gabriella to the man, seeing the resemblance between them. He quickly realised it must of been her father. He looked strangly familiar.
----------
Gabriella got to the gate in front of her house, sooner than she expected. She pushed it open.
"Wait up!"
She turned around to see her sweaty looking brother bounding towards her. He reached her eventually.
"Thanks"
"Anytime"
And that conversation had ended. Gabriella left him with the gate and continued to walk up the winding path. She got to the door and pushed it open.
"Hey Mum"
----------
Troy fingered the picture lightly, still trying to see where he remembered this guy from, but was getting nowhere.
"Hey Mum"
He flinched. Gabriella was coming. Damn it! He quickly scanned the room, for any evidence he had been there, and grabbed the door, leaving abruptly and hurrying to Chad's room. He would be there soon.
Back with Gabriella.
"Hey sweetie, what did Michelle want?"
Gabriella groaned slightly.
"To show me a picture of a person I already knew exsisted"
Maria laughed, "And who was this?"
"Troy Bolton"
Gabriella left the room, and her mum, felt very confused. Wasn't it Troy Bolton who was in her house? She shook her head.
Gabriella walked up the stairs, passing Chad coming in the door on her way. She nodded to him and he nodded back. She continued the walk upstairs, and into her room she went.
She dropped her coat on the bed, and turned around. She pricked up her nose, smelling around. Someone had been here, and whoever it was - smelt good! But the sir was different, it felt kinda weird. But she didn't push it. She was probably just imagining it anyways.
-----------
"Hey Man" chad said and waved as he entered his room.
Tory stared into space. Chad waved his hand in Troy's face, which got his attention.
"Huh?"
"Where were you Mars?"
Troy laughed uneasily, "No, sorry man"
More like Planet Gabriella, he thought.
