I sat on my bed with Taylor, my feet outstretched as i painted my toenails with a black coat of nail varnish. Thankfully my dad had decided to lift my punishment that None of my friends could come into the house and had allowed Taylor in.
"So David asked me out last period today" Taylor told me as she began to coat her toenails in red nail varnish.
"He did? Thats awesome. When are you going out with him?"
"Saturday night" Taylor told me "I said yes of course"
"You must really like him"
"Yeah and plus its not like im gonna be asked out by another guy as hot as him"
I giggled at her words as my phone vibrated beside me. I picked it up and read the text i had recieved while still painting my toenails.
Will ur dad let u out 2 play 2morrow nyt?
Troy x
"Its from Troy, he wants to know if we can go to tomorrow"
"My parents are cool with it, they think im sleeping around here. But we better go ask your dad now then." Taylor said flapping at her toenails in the hope the nail varnish would dry quicker. I copied her actions and within the minute they were dry enough to begin to walk. We both ran downstairs and into the kitchen where we knew my father would most likely be.
We were right. My dad was standing over the sink, dutifully washing the many Plates and stuff from the evening meal.
"Dad." I called out to get his attention. He turned to me and Taylor, picking up a cloth and wiping his hands on it to get them dry.
"Yes?" He asked curiously.
"Is it ok if i sleep around Taylors tomorrow night?"
"I suppose so" He said. He really didn't seem to be in a good mood. "You seem to be spending alot of time at Taylors. Don't your parents mind Taylor?"
"No sir, they like having Gabriella around" Taylor lied.
"Ok then, you can Gabriella"
"Ok, well i'll take all my stuff to school and ill go straight to Taylors from there"
"Fine by me. Just make sure you get your homework done"
"Awesome" I said, before smiling triumphantly at Taylor and running back up into my room. It wasn't till i sat back down on my bed with Taylor sitting opposite me that i reliased one major flaw in our plan.
"Shit" I mumbled
"What?" Taylor asked
"We have proper screwed up"
"How did you figure that out?"
"Well, if my dad thinks im sleeping around yours, and your parents think your sleeping around mine..."
"We have nowhere to sleep!" Taylor finished "Crap. Gabriella how did we not think of that?"
"I have no idea. Question is: How do we fix it?"
We sat in silence for a minute, trying to think of a solution. "Got it" I smirked.
"What?"
"One sec" I said picking up my phone and scrolling my contacts till i got to T for Troy. I hit the call button and luckily within a few rings it was answered.
"Hey Brie" Came Troys voice
"Hey" I replied "So, I need a huge huge huge favour"
"Name it" Troy said
"Well Taylor and I kind of screwed up our lies to our parents so we could go to your basketball game and party and well...Can Taylor and I crash at yours tomorrow night?"
I heard Troy chuckled on the other end "screwed up how exactly?"
"We kind of told my dad i was sleeping at Taylors and told Taylors parents she was sleeping at mine and now.." (A/N: Don't worry if you don't get this. It makes sense to me :P)
"You have no where to stay. Your right Gabriella, your a right handful." I could practically hear Troy smile on the other end of the phone.
"Ha your funny. So do you have room at your place?" I asked timidly.
"Of course babe, Sharpay is at her parents house for the weekend in L.A. So Taylor can sleep in there and Sharpay will never have to know"
"And where do i sleep?" I asked flirtaciously
"Where do you think?" Troy replied in his sexy, husky voice that sent me wild.
"I look forward to it."
"Awesome, so your definetly coming tomorrow then?"
"Yeah definetly, so its at U of A - The basketball game yeah?"
"Yeah i'll see you there" Troy said "I cant wait to show you my mad skills"
"I hope your talking about your basketball skills Mr Bolton" I giggled
"Hmm depends, which do you prefer?"
"Ok im going before this gets all M Rated" I told him "See you tomorrow"
"See you babe" and with that Troy hung up.
"All fixed, we are staying at Troys tomorrow night"
"Ok if your sure"
Walking into the U of A gym, your breath couldn't help but hitch in your throat. Saying it was huge was a certain kind of understatement. It was very bright with many, many red seats all set around a huge basketball court which had the U of A mascot and the letters U OF A entwined to make a image on it - showing their dedication and symbolism for their team. It looked so...professional and very official - I was impressed.
"Theres some seats over there" Taylor told me over the noise of the people just generally chatting and waiting for the game to start. Taylor and I headed over to the U of A side of support, knowing that the gym was split in half, with one side supporting the home team - The university of Alberqueqe (RedHawks) and the other side the away team - The North of Alberqueqe College (Whitetigers) (A/N: Bare with me everyone im making this up! lol)
As Taylor and I took our seats, I couldn't help gulp as the reality of where i was set in. I was in a college gym, about to watch a college basketball game, surrounded by college students. It felt all so mature and unbelieveable. Did i really think i could pull this off? a sixteen your old sitting surrounded by older people like this. I felt like at any moment someone was going to stand up and yell "Go back to HIGH school." It was like Taylor and I were fishes out of water and no where to swim.
I glanced down at myself, both Taylor and I had taken along time last night deciding our outfits to wear for the game and party. We wanted something that looked casual and could be warn at a basketball game in a gym but at the same time something stylish that we could wear at the party too. As i said it had taken us ages but i had decided on some white skinny jeans and a grey jersey chain top along with a cream shrug and some signature pewter jewel ballerina style pumps. While Taylor had decided to go for some flared jeans and a signature pink embellished cami with satin cage pumps and white belt. I had to admit we looked older then i ever thought we could of and fitted in quite nicely with the rest of the crowd...I just hoped it was enough.
"So wheres Troy?" Taylor leant over and asked me.
"Probably in the locker room"
"Have you ever seen him play basketball?"
"Nope, he talks about it alot though and has tonnes of trophies" I told her matter of factly.
"Well he must be good"
"I hope so" as i said looking around at the gym - There didn't seem to be any seats left on the redhawks side but there was plenty on the Whitetigers. It really did surprise me how devoted people were to basketball and supporting their team.
We only had to wait 5 more minutes before the Red Hawk players came running out of their locker room and onto the basketball court. When the crowd saw their team they all sprung up and started cheering. Taylor and I joined in - I felt my heart flutter as i spotted Troy dressed in his basketball uniform. His arm muscles were exposed and bulging like crazy. He looked excited and pumped up as if ready for anything. He seemed to spot me and wave in my direction while i waved back, a huge grin plastered on my face. He then winked at me and i could have swarn every single person - Mostly girls - Turned to stare at me. It turns out that apparently, Troy is the object of every girls affection at the University of Alberqueqe and the fact i had recieved his actual attention made the girls jealous. I found myself blushing as Troy ran off to join his team mates in the huddle with their couch - Probably to talk tactics - as the WhiteTigers ran out onto the court recieving cheers off their side but overwhelming boo's off the redhawks side. It made me laugh how competetive this was going to be.
"Did you see all those girls glare at you?" Taylor asked me. I nodded, blushing even more.
"I guess everyone likes Troy?"
"Yeah i'd say so" Taylor giggled before looking down onto the court.
"Hey, theres Chad" I said practically to myself because Taylor had really no idea who i was on about.
"Chad? Who is Chad?"
"Troys bestfriend and one of his roommates. He is the one with the bushy hair"
"Ah, the one i saw briefly at that party. oh he is fine."
"He is also 21"
"Thats hasnt stopped you" Taylor pointed out "Hey, im kidding, don't worry he isn't my type. I prefer football players remember" Taylor sighed blissfully referring to David.
I rolled my eyes "Yes Taylor I remember"
After the basketball match, Taylor and I stayed behind in the gym under Troys request while everyone cleared out, cheering and screaming. The Red Hawks had won. 42-18. The whitetigers had sucked beyond belief. It had been a really fun experience for Taylor and I though because we were continuously cheering with the rest of the people and generally having laugh booeing the opposing team. Troy had definetly been the best player on the court though having scored 30 of the 42 baskets. I couldn't help notice how everytime he scored he would look up at me and smile - Like expecting my approval. Of course i gave it too him by cheering everytime and smiling back at him. I was incredibly impressed. Not to be forgotten though, Chad was incredibly good too, working with Troy to help him get the baskets. It was as if Chad was Troys support and the two of them basically carried the team.
"How long will they be?" Taylor asked croakily - her voice was obviously sore.
"Not long" I replied, my voice just as faint, noticing that virtually the whole gym was empty except for a few scattered people.
"That was soo fun. Troy and Chad were really good"
"Yeah they were" I said, feeling proud.
"So where is this party?"
"From what Troy said its at his friends house called Andy. He is meant to be rich or something and always throws the after game parties. Apparently they can get a bit out of hand so maybe we both need to stick together?"
"Sounds good" Taylor nodded in agreement as we both walked down from our seats and onto the court.
We waited another 10 minutes before Troy and Chad came into the gym and met up with us. Troy petrifying me half to death.
I was just talking to Taylor about how big the gym was when all the sudden, two strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind, picked me up and spun me around. I squealed in surprised before i was put down. I hit a laughing Troy playfully on the chest before he pulled me into a hug. "Hey baby" He whispered into my ear. I breathed in his refreshing, familiar scent before replying "Hey"
When we pulled away i turned to Chad and said "Hey Chad"
"Hey Gabs. Taylor right?" Chad asked Taylor who was nodding in response.
"Right" Troy said before draping a arm over my shoulders "Lets get going. We are going in my car"
"Ok" We all replied and began to walk out of the gym.
"You were both very impressive tonight. I didn't know you could play that good" I commented to Chad and Troy.
"It was all Troy really" Chad told me
"Your kidding man, if it weren't for your lay ups i wouldn't have managed half the baskets i did" Troy argued.
"Yeah sure" Chad replied sarcastically before he began a conversation with Taylor.
"You look so beautiful tonight" Troy whispered in my ear as we reached his car.
"Thankyou, your looking pretty handsome yourself" I returned the compliment as i climbed in the front passenger seat and Troy took Chads sports bag from his hand and threw it in the trunk of his car with his, before going to the drivers seat while Chad and Taylor climbed in the back.
"So Gabriella, i heard about your little mess up yesterday when lying to your parents" Chad chuckled causing Taylor and I both to blush.
"You told him!" I pretend glared at Troy who had already started to drive and was smiling secretly to himself.
"Why did you have to make the lie up anyway, your nineteen right? You should be able to do what you want?" Chad quizzed.
I gulped, my throat beginning to feel rather dry. "My parents and Gabriellas dad are very older fashioned and don't believe in free will" Taylor supplied cooly when i didn't answer.
"Ha sucks to be you" Chad laughed.
"So is there anyone else i know at this party?" I asked Troy
"Oh yeah, Sophie is going to be there, along with Cal, Alisa and Justine"
"Oh cool. Taylor i'll introduce them to you they are really nice"
"Cool" Taylor agreed as Troy turned into a rather busy looking road, filled with cars parked on the sidewalk, lawns and the road.
"Woah" I remarked as Troy weaved through them all before parking up.
We all filed out of the car, Troys hand slipping into mine and my spare one slipping into Taylors because i was determined not to lose her. The house was a mansion and you could tell by just one look, that very very very rich people lived there. You could hear the cheering and chatting of people along with the beat of the music from outside and you could tell the party was in hardcore mode.
"Don't let go of my hand alright?" Troy said to me. I nodded before saying the same thing to Taylor.
Chad walked ahead of us, hoping to clear some of the crowd as we entered after him. I was incredibly surprised that as soon as Troy entered, everyone seemed to seperate and form a path for us to walk straight through while people were patting Troy on the back and cheering. I glanced at Taylor in amusement as Troy led us over to a free corner where we could all stand freely. It was as if because we were with Troy - We were V.I.P's
"Chad and I are going to get drinks. Want one Gabi? Tay?"
"Yeah Vodka please" I said
"Same" Taylor told Troy who nodded
"Ok don't move from this corner ok or i'll never find you again." Troy said, releasing my hand and walking into the crowd with Chad.
Taylor and i stood there for a moment, feeling incredibly lost until i heard my name being called. "Gabriella!"
I glanced around, spotting a familiar person walking towards me, her arms outstretched for a friendly hug. "Hey Sophie" I said hugging her before pulling away. "This is Taylor. Taylor this is Sophie who i mentioned earlier"
"Nice to meet you" Taylor said
"Same" Sophie smiled "Wow, you both look very hot. Did you guys watch the game?. Troy never disappoints does he?"
"No, he doesn't seem to" I agreed. "Sophie are you already drunk?"
"No" She slurred "Ok, so i have had a few but it's a celebration!!"
Taylor and I giggled at her as she wobbled off back into the crowd as Troy walked up to us, passing us our drinks.
"Thanks" We both said.
"Wheres Chad?"
"Umm he is a little occupied in the kitchen, taking bodyshots off Alisa" Troy shrugged. "Have you seen sophie or anyone?"
"Yeah we saw Sophie, she is pissed already"
Troy laughed "let me guess her excuse? Its a celebration?"
"Yep" I grinned.
"That is so like Sophie"
The next half an hour seemed to go really quickly for me. I stood with Troy and Taylor, talking about random stuff while drinking my second drink of the night. I had to admit i was enjoying it as Troy had refused to take his hands off me. He always had arm around me, kissing me now and again and just being very affectionate - I loved it.
"Here comes Chad" Taylor pointed out as a bushy haired mass came towards us.
"Hey Chad" I greeted him.
"Hey, so i want someone to dance with. Taylor you up for it?" Chad asked. He wasn't drunk, that was obvious - Just slightly tipsy.
"Ummm" Taylor seemed un sure. She seemed to look at me and Troy. I don't know why but i felt as if her seeing Troy with his arms wrapped around my waist from behind and planting kisses along my neck, made her decision for her. "Sure but i need another drink"
I was actually comfortable with Taylor going with Chad because i knew i could trust him to look after her. I turned to Troy as he spun me around and his hands went to my backside. "Your hands seem to be wandering Mr Bolton" I commented
"Yeah but you love it" He said as our lips met in a deep, fierce kiss. It was as if because we hadn't seen each other for a few days we had to make up for it now and i didn't have a problem with it. A moan elicitied from my mouth as Troy tilted my head back and to the side so he could suck on the soft spot on my neck. "I have been wanting to do this all night, since i spotted you in the stands when i ran onto the court"
My giggled seemed to strangely turn into a moan as he sucked ever harshly, surely leaving me with a mark - His brand. "Troy, stop, my dad will notice"
That didn't stop him though, if anything he sucked harder. When he pulled away i exclaimed "What did you do that for? Im going to be in soo much trouble."
"Don't worry, Make-up will cover it. I just felt like i needed to show every guy in here, including myself that your actually mine"
"Every other guy in here can fuck off for all i care. Because the only guy i want, is standing right in front of me looking rather sexy" I purred, biting my bottom lips innocently.
"Woah, Gabriella don't do that! I will lose all the self control i have and will have to do rather naughty things to you"
"What naughty things?" I asked cheekily.
"I can't say - Im better showing then telling."
"I'm going to hold you to that" I said
"Is she drunk?!" I asked, completely and utterly shocked at the drunk Taylor that was being held up by a half drunk Chad.
"Yeah i think so" Chad said in a strained voice.
"How the fuck did that happen?!" I exclaimed. We were all standing on the lawn of the mansion where we had all agreed to meet up, at 2:30am. I had expected Taylor to have had fun but I hadn't bargained on her getting drunk like this.
"I don't know, we were dancing and then talking and she just kept re-filling her cup and i don't know.." Chad trailed off.
"What was she drinking?" Troy asked, helping Chad hold her up.
"Well i'm not sure, one moment it was vodka the next it was shots and then the punch which obviously had alot of different shit in it..."
"You didn't stop her?" I asked in dis-belief as we reached Troys car.
"I didn't think anything of it. It was her own free will to drink it" Chad mumbled as Troy and Chad put Taylor in the car. "She said she just wanted to have fun for once. Sorry Gabs"
"Don't worry, thankfuck we are staying at your guys apartement tonight, otherwise she would be in soo much shit" I said, climbing into the back with Taylor while Troy went to the drivers seat and Chad went to the passengers seat. "That is still alright isn't it?"
"Yeah of course babe, you don't think she will be sick though do you? Cause this is Sharpays room we are talking about" Troy said
"God, i have no idea, maybe we will be best finding somewhere else to go..."
"No!" Troy interupted "If you think im going to let you just walk the streets trying to find somewhere to stay. You don't know me at all"
"Yeah Gabs, stay with us. Its fine, we will just put her on the sofa and get a bucket. Besides the pink in sharpays room probably won't help the hangover she is going to have when she wakes up" Chad said.
"Good point" Troy agreed.
"Well, if your sure.." I said
"We are" Troy and Chad agreed.
30 minutes later, Taylor was securely on the sofa, a blanket wrapped over her as she slept off the alcohol. Luckily, she hadn't thrown up but instead just mumbled in-coherent words that meant absolutely nothing.
"Thankyou so much for this guys" I said to Troy and Chad as we walked away from Taylor a bit.
"No problem, im going to go get some sleep" Chad said "Sorry again for Taylor, Gabi"
"Don't worry, i know it wasn't your fault" I said before Chad walked away to his room. I turned to Troy.
"Thanks again Troy" I said
"Brie, stop saying thankyou" Troy said, slipping his hand into mine - Entwining our fingers. "Lets just go to bed"
"Hmm...I'd like that" I mumbled, resting my head on his shoulder as we walked down the hallway to his bedroom.
I lay down on Troys bed as i let him peel off my clothes as if unwrapping a present. Then he was stretched out next to me so i could run my hands over his skin again and again, tracing patterns over his back, writing poetry with my fingertips down his arms; all the words i was longing to say.Then Troy was kissing me hungrily as if he hadn't kissed me for months, not minutes. And then we were making love...
Afterwards, i lay there in Troys arms contently, my eyes feeling heavier then ever. It seemed to me my whole life was splitting in two: Troy and not Troy. I liked the Troy part soo much better. Of course, Taylor had now become part of the Troy part and i didn't mind that. It was like i was getting the best of both worlds. But when i was apart from Troy i felt empty...Like i couldn't wait till i could see him again. I felt different with him and special...Was this what it was meant to feel like when you were really into someone? Was this what it felt like if you were in love?
And as soon as i thought it, i knew it was true. I kinda Love him. Or, like, I was in love with him. Either state of being was just too freaky to contemplate.
But did i really know what love was? Do i deserve to be in love with all these lies of have told? Do i deserve to be loved back?
If Troy loved me...He wouldn't love me he would love the nineteen year old me and not the sixteen year old that i truly was.
If Troy loved me...He wouldn't be in love with me. He would be in love with my lie.
