Once they stopped laughing, they got changed. When Gabi came out of the bathroom, Troy's jaw dropped. She looked amazing. His eyes swept over her. Wow, perfect slender legs, perfect flat stomach, perfect curves, perfect kissable lips, perfect chocolate brown eyes, perfect tan body. She's beautiful…. Ugh, Troy stop. She's your best friends. You're not suppose to think of her that way. God, but why do I keep getting this weird feeling? What is it? Love? No! Not love. I don't love my best friend. Right?

"Wan to go down to the water?" Gabi asked breaking Troy out of his trance. When she came out of the bathroom, her eyes immediately went to his abs. Holy! He looks gorgeous. And look at that six pack. I've seen him plenty of times in a bathing suit. Heck I've seen him in just boxers, why am I feeling like this now? Do I love him? Whoa, love? No. He's my best friend. I can't love him. Right?

"Yeah lets go." Troy grabbed her hand and started running towards it.

They ran in the water and a big wave came and splashed them. Gabi squealed and Troy laughed.

Gabi was in front of Troy and a huge wave was coming so she turned around. Troy wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up she the wave didn't get her as much. Gabi laughed. "Thanks Troy!"

"You're welcome Brie." He said smiling. They continued playing in the water, splashing each other, and occasionally Troy would lift her up and spin her around.

Gabi splashed him and ran away as best she could since she was in the water.

"You're going to get it now Brie!" Troy exclaimed and ran after her.

"Ahh!" Troy had gotten in front of her and caught her around the waist. He spun her around and they were laughing. Troy set her down, arms still locked around her and they looked into each other's eyes. Troy leaned in as well as Gabriella. Their lips connected and fireworks shot everywhere.

From then on, they continued playing and kissing.

They got out and decided to tan a little bit. Gabriella laid down on one of the lounge chairs and closed her eyes. They were wide chairs, so Troy decided to lay on the same one as her. She left his lay down and put his arms around her and she scooted down so she could lay her head on his chest.

"I'm going to have tan lines where your arms are you know." Brie stated with her eyes close.

"And I'm going to have a tan line where your head is." Troy said with his eyes also closed. Within minutes, they both fell asleep. There was someone front the East High Yearbook committee at the beach because she was looking for kids from East High to take pictures of for the yearbook. She had gotten tons of cute Troyella pictures that would go in the yearbook.

About an hour later, Troy began to stir. He looked down at his Brie and smiled. Wait, my Brie. Wow, am I really falling for her? Oh god. He thought. But then, the thought of being in love with her made him smile. He moved one of his arms to see if there was a tan line and there was. As soon as he removed his arm, Gabriella stirred missing the warmth of his arm. She opened her eyes and looked up a Troy.



"Hi." She whispered.

"Hey beautiful." He said and then immediately realized what he said. He felt heat rise up his neck to his cheeks.

Gabriella blushed too. "Umm. How long have we been asleep?"

He grabbed his cell phone. "A little over an hour."

She lifted her head and looked at the spot where her head was resting. There was indeed a tan line from where her head was. She burst out laughing.

He looked down and saw it too. "Haha. At least I'm not the only one. You've got my arms as a tan line on your waist." She looked down and saw it.

"Shit." But she giggled anyways. "Looks like we both have another tattoo. At least this one is temporary."

"Are you saying you don't like your permanent tattoo? I'm hurt Brie." Troy said mocking hurt.

"Of course im not saying that. I love that tattoo! Do you like your permanent tattoo?" she asked.

"I love my permanent tattoo!" he said smiling. "How could I not love something that reminds me of you every day?" His tattoo said "Brie" and it was inside of a heart. They didn't know why they got hearts, it just felt right. They had gotten them freshman year, which was 2 years ago. Hers was a heart with the number "14"

"Remember when the gang saw them for the first time?" Gabi asked.

Flashback

The whole gang was at the beach for the day. It was a week after they got the tattoos.

"Troy, can you tie this?" Gabi asked.

"Sure" He tied it.

Gabi slid her shorts off and during the process, her bathing suit bottoms came down a little bit but you couldn't see anything private. But you could see the tattoo. Suddenly, she heard a gasp.

"Gabriella Anne Montez, what the hell was that?" Sharpay screamed.

"What was what?" Gabriella asked clueless. She didn't notice that her bottoms pulled down slightly because they slid back up.

Sharpay came up in front of her and pulled her bottoms down slightly. Right there and below her belly button and to the right was a "14" with a heart around it.



"Shit, they weren't supposed to see that yet." She said under her breath. "It's a tattoo." She said louder so they could hear

"And exactly why and when did you get that?" Sharpay asked.

"I got it one week ago and because I wanted to. It wasn't only me." She said.

"Brie! Come on." Troy said in the whiny voice.

"Hey, I'm not going to be the only one getting trampled. You were part of it too!" She hissed.

"Fine, fine!" he said.

"Whoa whoa whoa, Troy got one too? Where and what?" Taylor asked. Troy turned around and on his upper left shoulder was the word "Brie" with a heart.

"Awe! That's so cute!" Sharpay cooed.

"How did I not notice that?" Chad asked himself.

"You never notice anything Chad." Troy said.

"You guys know if you stay blind your whole life and don't marry each other and get married to some other bimbos, I don't think they are going to be very happy you have a tattoo to symbol someone else." Sharpay said. Troyella blushed about the first part of the comment.

"Well, if we stay blind like you say we are, and don't marry each other, then we will have to find someone that respect the tattoo." Troy said back.

End Flashback

They laughed at the memory.
