Falling For Your Brother's Best Friend
Chapter 31 - The End.
'Good Morning Albuquerue! As you can see, it's raining, so here's a little tune to kick start your day!
Drip Drip Drop,
Little April Showers---
Gabriella abruptly turned off Radio Albuquerue, and focused on driving. There was no way she would let herself crash again. Yes, she was alive, but when she really thought about it, she could have died. And she couldn't let that happen; she had so much to live for.
The rain battered down on the roof and windows of her new car as she parked in the school car park. Looking around she saw many students all run out of their cars, their various books covering their heads from the rain as they battled their way into the school building. She laughed as she saw in the distance her brother. His hair was soaking wet, and the curls were now sticking to his head, making him look like he'd shaved nearly all his hair off. Gabriella was still wishing for that day to come.
She watched as he grabbed his coat, opened the car door cautiously, slammed it shut to find his coat sticking half in, then battle with his jacket to free it from the door. Her hands flew up to her head while laughing and her fingertips gently brushed over the now faint scar she had from the accident. She wasn't going to lie, it hurt sometimes, but it was nothing a little foundation didn't sort.
Grabbing her bag, car keys and umbrella from the seat beside her, she undid the buckle of the car seat. She sighed as she realised how wet she would get. But not as wet as the others, because she was sensible.
She had an unbrella.
Rushing out the car, she quickly locked the door, and ran into the building she hadn't been in in a couple of weeks. As she entered and tried to dry herself off she noticed many wandering eyes come her way. This was un-needed attention.
She felt her hair, annd made her way down the halls, her head bowed trying to let the attention pass. She didn't like it; and many a time had wondered how Troy managed to stay sane.
Talking of Troy, things had been going great with them. They had stayed strong after everything they had gone through, and were still managing to tell each other everything.
It was Gabriella's first day back, so he was eager to be there for her when she arrived. But so far, no Troy. But she wasn't mad. She knew how much commosion (sp?) was caused when he entered the school, so really, he wasn't late.
She reached her locker, got out her key and put all her un-needed books away. Turning around she saw her two best friends running up to her, equipt with smiling faces.
"You're back!" Sharpay squealed, as she hugged her friend.
"We've missed you!" Taylor added, after she'd hugged Gabriella too.
"I've missed you too, but I saw you, like, yesterday?"
Sharpay rolled her eyes, "Yeah, but not at school!"
Gabriella laughed, "Yeah, cos I've missed school!"
Taylor and Sharpay kept straight faces.
"Ok! So I kinda have... but I've missed you two more!" Gabriella smiled shyly.
"Good!"
It was only then that Gabriella noticied everyone in the hall was looking at Gabriella and her friends. It wasn't usual, and she wasn't that popular, so it wasn't as if she'd been missed by the entire student body. Something was up. Something wasn't right.
Sharpay looked around, seeing everyone look in their direction. She rolled her eyes once again, and turned fully to face the crowd.
Her hands were on her hips and she tutted at everyone. "Anything special to see here?!" She shouted.
The crowd groaned and all turned back to their usual jobs.
"Thanks, what was that?!" Gabriella asked Sharpay and Taylor.
"Eh..." They stuttered.
"Well - "
Taylor started but was cut off when everything went quiet and the familiar feeling in Gabriella's gut started to kick in. Troy and his friends were coming, she could feel it. Looking in front she could see their heads coming into view as the crowd parted. She kept her head down as soon as she saw Troy. She hadn't forgotten that they didn't flirt in school.
But Troy, he was walking right up to her. She rose her head, and her brow furrowed, confused. Looking out of the corner of her eye she saw the crowd.
Some were smirking.
Some were smiling.
Some were giving her dirty looks.
Before she knew it Troy had grabbed her wrist, bringing her closer to him, their bodies touching. His mouth crashed onto her's and she imediately accepted, forgetting the crowd around her. Her hands twirled around his neck, her fingers tugging at his hair, trying to get the small space between them gone. His arms automatically reached for her legs, pulling her away from the ground, wrapping them absentmindedly around his torso. His hands rested on her thighs, keeping her in place, as the earth shattering kiss continued.
Wolf whistles and shouts could be heard from the crowd, but their ears were closed to all sound around them. They were too wrapped up in each other to be bothered hearing.
Soon the kiss came to an end, and they untangled their bodies from each other. He stared into her chocolate eyes, her into his ultramarine. She blushed as she finally saw the students staring.
"Well, that's one way to tell everyone" She whispered to him.
He smiled, "They already knew, babe."
Gabriella closed her eyes, "So that's why they were staring!"
Troy chauckled, "Probably, yes."
He kissed her forehead, and many awww's were heard. He smirked at her and she turned around in their hug, turning back to her locker, hoping the crowd would go away.
A loud cough was heard from the middle of the crowd, and both Troy and Gabriella turned back around.
From the middle of the crowd came the Principal Matsui, who was slightly red in the face. "Gabriella, Troy. That was...quite a display."
Gabriella blushed in embarassment, while Troy just said, "Thanks" and took Gabi in his arms.
Principal Matsui's eyes glittered at the little gesture, "Well, Ms Montez, Welcome Back!" He announced.
Gabriella nodded, "Thank you."
A soon as he was gone, Gabriella turned around and shoved her head into the crook of his neck, sighing.
"That... was SO embarassing."
Troy just stood cuddling her, laughing slightly, "Believe me, there's plenty more where that came from."
----------
The hours passed quite quickly, and by the end of the day the events from the morning had been nearly forgotten. Gabriella was glad; she had never liked attention that much. A little was ok, but too much didn't go down well with her. If it had been for anyone else she'd probably blown up in their face, but it was about her boyfriend, so really now it didn't seem to matter too much.
She hugged her books tightly to her chest as she walked through the empty hallways to her locker. She sighed as she unloaded her bag, and locked it again. Turning round she was met by Troy's lips, which gently kissed her nose. She giggled at the gesture, and slipped her hand into his, their fingers entwining.
"I've missed you." She whispered as they walked in the other direction of leaving the school.
"Ditto."
Gabriella giggled, then realised where they were.
"Troy, why are we going to the secret garden?"
He shrugged, "I just felt like we hadn't been there in the longest time, and last time we were there, it was great, so I thought I'd renew the memory... in a weird kinda way."
Gabriella burst out laughing as Troy pouted, "You know what I mean!"
"I know" She kissed his ear gently, as he led her up the stairs, and the cold air hit her face.
She dropped her bag and he did so too, then they moved over to the railings. Gabriella leaned over, loving the feeling as if she was flying through the air, the coldness on the bar leaving chills on her spine.
Seeing her shiver, Troy moved behind her, wrapping his arms around her petite frame.
They stood there, in complete silence, just loving the feeling of each others presence. It was something about just being together that made them feel complete, but if the other wasn't there, they would feel empty.
Troy kissed her neck, "Remeber when we first met?"
Gabriella giggled at the memory, "Yeah, that was... a strange day."
"You could say that, but I don't regret it though."
"Neither do I."
Troy laughed, "You do not know how many times I'd seen you before, but never seen your face, your beautiful face."
Gabriella elbowed him in the stomach. "Hey!" He said in defence, "It was a compliment!"
Gabriella shook her head, "Yeah, and you give me too many of those!"
Troy ran his fingers through her hair, "And they'll keep coming" He whispered in her ear.
"But why?" Gabriella's eyes stayed on the view of Albuquerue around her.
"Because you're amazing."
Gabriella didn't know what to say. She was amazed, speechless. But something inside of her clicked.
She had never felt it before, but it felt right.
She was falling in love.
She couldn't believe she was falling for Troy.
She couldn't believe she was falling for her brother's best friend.
Scratch that -
She'd already fallen.
