3 days later at school. Troy and Gabriella walked in hand-in-hand everyday and acted like a couple. They hadn't kissed though. They had already told the gang their plan.

Troy and Gabby were about to walk around the corner but they heard Christy and Jared talking so they
listened.

"They haven't convinced me. I mean, they haven't even kiss. Couples kiss. I think Troy just said that to get me off his back. And then Gabriella went along with it." Christy said.

"I know. Gabby will be mine. I don't care what I have to do. But she will be with me. They might be
convincing some people, okay maybe almost the whole school, but not me and not you." Jared said.
Troy and Gabby looked at each other and then Troy led her up to the secret hide-out

"Oh man. The 2 people we are trying to convince, we aren't convincing. God, what should we do?" asked
Gabby

"Brie, I think we might have to take it to the next step. We don't have to, but if we are going to convince them, we might need to."

"I know. If we want to get them off our backs, we have to. So, alright, i'll do it." she said.

"maybe we should practice. It will most likely be awkward if our fist time is in front of them." he said
nervously

"I think your right. so.. maybe we should stand." She stood up also nervous. he stood too.

"alright. here goes nothing." he said leaning in. she met him half way. there lips locked, but only for a
few seconds. Secretly, they both really liked it and wanted to go it again.

"that was good. but not very convincing. should we try longer?" he said. hopeful but not showing it

she laughed. "probably."

They both were really nervous but both leaned in. Their lips met. After about 15 seconds, the
nervousness went away and he wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled her closer and pushed his tongue against her lips begging for an entrance to deepen the kiss. She was shocked by his action but they opened her mouth and let his tongue explore the inside of her mouth. He picked her up and moved over to the bench and sat down putting Gabby on his lap straddling him. Their make-out session got more hot and steamy as she ran her hands through his hair and he pulled her even closer. The make-out session got more intense. He kissed down her neck and she moaned the whole time until he made it back to her lips. Suddenly the bell rang and they slowly pulled a part.

"Your an amazing kisser there Miss Montez!" he said as he smiled.

she laughed. "well, your quite amazing yourself."

Just then, Chad and Taylor came up, Gabby was still straddling Troy.



"Um, hey guys. What's going on here?" Taylor said as she looked at their messed up hair, Gabby straddling Troy, their red and swollen lips, and slightly twisted clothes. They blushed.

"Oh, uh, hey guys. Nothing. We were just practicing. You see, Christy and Jared aren't convinced we are
dating, so we need to take it too the next level so we were practicing." Troy explained.

"Uh-huh. Right. Whatever you say man." Chad with a smirk.

"Well, if you want to try to convince them, I
heard them talking, they are meeting at 2:30 in the janitors closet to discuss how to prove that you guys
aren't dating. You could get their before them, then when they open the door, they will see you guys making out. Good plan?" Taylor told them

"Perfect" they both said.
