"Hi, can I come in?" Gabriella asked poking her head into the locker area that Troy was in sitting on a bench facing his locker which was open.

"Yea," Troy said simply. Gabriella walked in still in her Riley's Sports Goods t-shirt that she wore for work. Her hands were behind her back holding a red bag,

"You don't seem as pumped as Chad is; he has everyone out there running drills, just to get pumped with the band rehearsing and all…" Gabriella said with some awkwardness in her voice as she stood behind her boyfriend.

"That's great." Gabriella sighed placing the red bag with white tissue to Troy's right.

"I got you something, it's for the game." When Troy didn't move to look at the gift Gabriella sighed deciding to ramble on "I got off early for that Troy, can you at least look at it?" Gabriella asked her voice getting quieter as she went on. When Troy continued to stare at his locker Gabriella sighed sitting down to his left studying him.

"Troy, please don't do this to me," Gabriella said looking at his profile as he sat with a locked jaw only in his warm up pants, game shorts, and white beater. She bit her lip before straddling the bench so she could look at him properly. Scooting closer until she bumped his left leg with her left knee, a smirk came on her face when he glanced at her before looking back at his locker. A new determination in her eyes Gabriella moaned draping her left leg over his pulling her as close to him as possible at this angle. She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his arm.

"Babe I know you're nervous about this whole first game of the season thing. But you sitting here -ignoring - me is - turning - me on so - fucking - much." She said between kisses which made him look down at her in interest. Gabriella smiled with satisfaction.

"Look in the bag," She whispered huskily which made Troy reply with urgency.

Grabbing the bag he took the tissue paper out and looked inside. A smirk graced his face and he looked over at his girlfriend who was giving him this innocent look. Looking back in the bag he chuckled running a hand over his now short hair. Reaching in the bag he pulled out a pair of red boxer briefs.

"What are these for?" Troy asked looking down at her as she sat up.

"What you don't like them?"

"They're red," He said looking from the briefs to her.

"Well I noticed."She said simply taking them from his grasp and playing with the waistband stretching it then letting it relax.

"What are they for?" Troy repeated. Gabriella sighed as if explaining would take too much time.

"Well if you must know they are lucky underwear." She said tossing them to him as she moved to stand up. Troy looked at the red boxer briefs that matched his uniform before turning to look at his girlfriend.

"How are these lucky? The only thing I can say about them is they are red," Gabriella shrugged heading for the exit for the locker area Troy was in.

"Well I don't know, how do a pair of underwear become lucky?" Gabriella asked innocently discretely unbuttoning the top 2 buttons on her work shirt though Troy didn't notice.

"A pair is lucky if you –"He stopped short looking at Gabriella pulled her work shirt over her head tossing it on a bench leaving her in her red bra.

"That's right Troy the same way this bra became lucky for me. I mean I told you," Gabriella started leaving before stopping and turning back to Troy. "You were really turning me on just now, and I locked the door," Gabriella said with a wink before walking away.

Troy sat there and looked at the red underwear in his hands and laughed to himself before jumping up. He walked out into the hall and looked to his left and saw Gabriella's jeans on the ground and looked up to see her standing there in her red bra and white thong. Walking towards her Troy grinned knowing that this would be his and Gabriella's first time actually doing anything in the locker room at this level. Before all they would do is make out but now he had a feeling that they may be a while though it was good they had time until the game.

Once he reached Gabriella he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately as she tangled her fingers in his hair. As they became more into each other clothes were discarded and they really didn't care. Moving towards the shower Troy quickly turned on the water so that any noise that resulted from future activity will be drowned out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Chad!" Chad turned his attention from Taylor who had just arrived to Tim a freshman on the Varsity team.

"Sup?" Chad asked looking at the boy.

"We can't get into the locker room, and coach isn't here yet." He said as Chad and Taylor frowned.

"Why would it be locked?" Chad asked rhetorically looking at Taylor who shrugged. They walked over to the door.

"Hey move," Chad said making his way to the door. He twisted the knob and when it didn't budge he looked at Taylor.

"Do you have your key?" He asked and she nodded handing it to him as everyone else looked on waiting to get in the room. Once Chad had the door open everyone moved to get in but Chad held up his arms.

"No let us check it out first, when it's clear you all can come in." Chad said grabbing Taylors arm pulling her inside ignoring the groans from the different aged teams.

Moving through the locker room Chad and Taylor looked in each locker area checking for anyone. They were going to stop their search early and tell everyone it was okay when Chad stepped on a pair of warm up pants with shorts near them.

"What the hell?" He asked kicking them out of the way before moving on.

"Oh my Jesus!!!" He yelled backing up to cling to Taylor who rolled her eyes.

"What?" she asked but Chad could only point staring at something obviously horrified.

"That's a bra and that's a thong Chad," Taylor said sweetly.

"Yes Taylor I know that," Chad said in a duh tone. "But this is a boy's locker room!" He said making a point known which Taylor couldn't argue with.

"Well who's is it?" She asked looking at her boyfriend who shrugged looking over her shoulder and screaming along with another voice.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Taylor turned and saw Gabriella standing there naked and looking horrified before she ran back towards the showers. Taylor was shocked at what she had just seen and suddenly all of the dots were connecting but she quickly came back to reality and looked down at her boyfriend and sighed.

"Oh my eyes!!!" He yelled his eyes still closed obviously overreacting.

"Chad get up," Taylor said thankful no one was there to see him.

"Mama no!!! I just saw my best friend naked!!!" Chad yelled as he was on his knees.

"Chad –"

"In her birthday suit!!! Oh mama no!! She's having sex!" Chad yelled before looking up at Taylor with his eyes now open.

"Are my eyes bleeding?" He asked making Taylor kick him.

"Get up –"

"Chad get fuck out of here!!!" Troy yelled standing in the hall of the locker room with a towel around his waist.

"But –"

"Get the fuck out!!" Troy yelled glaring at Chad who sighed rolling his eyes and standing up obviously not scared of his friend. He grabbed Taylor's hand and pulled her towards the exit. When they reached Troy who was fuming Chad stopped and put a hand on his best friends shoulder.

"You know, next time you want to do something nasty, at least put a do not disturb sign up," Chad said earning a growl from Troy which made him jump and scramble for the door and making sure no one went inside.

Troy sighed walking back over to Gabriella who was now covered in towels as she sat on the floor looking forward blankly.

"I can't believe that just happened." Gabriella said shaking her head. "I'll never be able to look at him again." She said looking up at Troy who shrugged.

"I'm sorry, I should have come out first or given you a towel I don't know…I didn't know he was out there." Troy said holding a hand out to her which Gabriella took.

"It's fine," Gabriella said standing with his help.

"No it's not," Troy said lightly.

"Really I mean Chad saw me naked when we were younger so I guess I'm just more developed?" Gabriella said trying to convince herself. Troy chuckled kissing her head wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm sorry,"

"It's okay, are you ready for the game now at least?" Gabriella asked looking up at him.

"You know I am, it's all thanks to my lucky underwear," He said with a smile that made Gabriella forget what had just happened.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You know," Taylor whispered to Gabriella as they sat in the players chairs as they watched the game with everyone else. "Maybe you should fuck Troy before every game. I mean we're up by 20,"

Gabriella flushed looking over at Taylor who had an amused look on her face. Looking around Gabriella let her eyes stop on Troy who was focused in the game though looking like he was having the time of his life. Just knowing that he was happy made Gabriella happy. Taking her eyes from him she looked into the stands of the home side and noticed one very attentive cheerleader, Crystal. Diverting her eyes Gabriella looked down at her clip board where she was keep stats on each player whose name was A – L while Taylor had M – Z. Crystal is still a sore subject for her even though she tried to act like it wasn't still affecting her. Troy would ask every now and then when Crystal would come around if she was okay; of course Gabriella lied and said yes. Something about the hate for her from Crystal was deeper than the rest of the girls in school. Gabriella wasn't always scared of the other girls since they would be nice in public but just wish they were in Gabriella's shoes later. Crystal Haven is just one more thing to add to Gabriella's list.

"YEAH TROY!!!!" Taylor yelled snapping Gabriella from her thoughts. The crowd was going crazy over something that Troy had done and she had missed it.

"What happened?" Gabriella asked softly to Taylor

"Troy just dunked the ball after jumping over number 17 on the other team." Taylor said, Gabriella's heart sunk knowing that she had missed it.

"Well that's great, I missed it." Taylor gave her a sympathetic look. Gabriella sighed writing that down by Troy's name. This game is pretty much over the other team might as well just give up.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I knew they'd win," Taylor said as we grabbed the water bottles from around their seats once the gym started clearing out.

"Of course they were I mean a 20 point lead,"

"Yes it's all thanks to you Gabriella," Taylor teased

"Whatever we aren't doing that again –"

"Well if it isn't Gabriella," Taylor scowled at the person standing behind Gabriella as she turned.

"Well if it isn't Brady." Gabriella said looking at the West High captain.

"Oh why so cold ladies? Tay," He said winking at Taylor who crossed her arms over her chest.

"Brady you should go before the guys get out here." Taylor said as Brady's 2 best friends came over.

"I'm not scared of Danforth," Brady said looking at Taylor then he looked at Gabriella taking a step closer to her, "Or Bolton," he said challenging Gabriella to take a step back which she wouldn't.

"What are you here for? Don't you have a bus to catch? I mean you have to take the walk of shame some time," Gabriella said looking Brady dead in the eye.

"Damn Gabriella you're hurting me. But we have permission to drive ourselves home," Brady said taking a seat on a home team seat his friends Cody and Eric doing the same,

"Brady get the fuck up and leave," Taylor said looking at the locker room door knowing the guys would be coming out at any moment. When the West guys and the East guys get left alone together no matter the sport there is always trouble. It's just this vibe and feeling in your gut that something is just going to happen. Brady is a basketball and track guy so his smart mouth along with his friends always starts a fire.

"Watch your mouth Taylor," Cody said glaring at Taylor who only glared back.

"Brady please," Gabriella said looking down at the guy.

"You know I was hoping that we could relive sophomore year," Brady said with a knowing look that made Gabriella and Taylor freeze.

"You promised Brady," Gabriella said looking at the locker room door as some guys started coming out then back at Brady.

"I know a guy can dream right," He stood up motioning to his friends to leave. He pulled Gabriella into a forced hug though she pushed against him, gripping the hair on her head he said in her ear. "I keep my mouth shut as long as you do Montez, you get that?" He asked as Gabriella nodded before pushing him away hard.

"Now get the fuck out!" Gabriella said glaring at Brady as he smirked walking towards his friends.

"It was nice talking with you ladies." Then he was gone.

"That bastard, he always has to remind us doesn't he," Taylor said grabbing the last two water bottles and putting them in the holder.

"It wasn't our fault Tay," Gabriella said looking at her friend.

"I know it wasn't Gabriella, we were two 15 year old girls who couldn't do anything but watch, in the wrong place at the wrong time right? He doesn't have to remind us every time we see him though, just let it go. To believe we were just talking about that when I came over yesterday." Taylor said as they started for the locker room as the guys were coming out.

"We have to keep his secret though, or else he'll tell ours," Gabriella whispered as Taylor just rolled her eyes as the guys came over.

"That game was the best way to start a season," Chad said kissing Taylor briefly.

"I know right," Troy said smiling at Gabriella who forced one back.

"We just have to put these away and we'll be out," Gabriella said as he nodded and she and Taylor walked for the locker room.

"I hate him," Taylor mumbled.

"I hate Brady too; this is just one more thing I need to worry about," Gabriella mumbled as Taylor pulled her into a side hug.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Tired?" Gabriella asked sitting on Troy's lap as he sat on a recliner in his family room.

"Yea," he replied wrapping his arms around her

"You played an amazing game tonight," Gabriella said looking at his as he closed his eyes with a sigh.

"Thanks, I had my lucky underwear on," Troy said with a smirk making Gabriella laugh.

"I know aren't you glad you have a pair?" Troy nodded and Gabriella just looked at him and all his gorgeousness. She rested her hand on his cheek and caressed it with her thumb before leaning down and kissing him softly.

"I should go," She said against his lips.

"Stay,"

"Okay," Gabriella said without putting up a fight, she wanted him to say that anyways,

"I love you," He said pulling her closer as she put her head in the crook of her neck. She breathed him in and thought of how Brady reminded her how she really didn't deserve Troy. A thought she was sure was crossing Taylor's mind too. Both of their relationships could be over with one slip of the tongue.

"I love you, too"
