Oh how i so wanted to be with Troy, to be able to kiss his lips all the time and spend every living moment with him. Because he, he treated me like a real person. Sure, his friends such as Sarpay and Taylor (My friends too?) treated me like a real person. But Troy was different to them, he was the one that wasn't afraid to come talk to me on my first day, he was the one i was oggling every day since i came to Alberqueqe, he was the one i wanted to be with.

But how?

Because as far as i knew...He has Melodie.

Gabriella's P.O.V

Oh how i wanted to kiss those lips once again, it was like Troy Bolton was a drug to me and i suddenly couldn't get of it/him. He had been my first kiss, my first truly amazing kiss, i know that sounds lame right? Like i'm fawning over him way too much, but if you could be in my body you would understand.

Understand that he was the first person other then my mom to treat me like a real being.

Understand that he was the first guy who had shown ANY interest in me. (Wether they were single or not)

Understand that he was soooooo sexy.

I giggled at the Troy Bolton sitting cross-legged, much like me opposite of where i was sitting on my bed. Troy had been around my house for about 2 minutes and had already made me laugh. It was like it was his job, to make me happy. Why? I had no clue.

"So, Miss Montez, tonight i will teach you to talk" Troy said, looking directly at me and allowing me to read his lushish lips.

I gulped, my feeling sand expressions changing instantly - He was serious? I thought it was just a joke. I couldn't learn how to speak could i? I thought Troy would just forget! Just like i had.

I shook my head franitcally. "Why?" He asked confused.

I grabbed the notepad infront of me and scrawled my reply. Cause i will embaress myself...Duh! . He seemed to smile slightly before then shaking his head "Brie, embaress yourself? Who is here to laugh at you?"

I point at him.

"Me? I won't. Why would i?"

Because, i probably will sound like a dork to you, i don't know how i sound.

"Alright" Troy said after reading it briefly "Talk and then i'll tell you"

I tensed up even more, shaking my head. Can't i just teach you some more sign language? Please?

Troy looked over at me, his bright blue eyes connecting with my brown. He nodded slowly in agreement before he leant forward, moving his head so it was a couple of inches away from me. I could tell he wanted to kiss me and was waiting for me to join our lips in a mutual effort. I suddenly felt as if all thoughts had flown from my head along with my conscious and any reality filled brain cells. And then i kissed him. I had never felt anything like it. His lips were soft and gentle. My body was completely working on auto-pilot as I cupped his cheek and planted small kisses on the lips of his. I had no idea what the hell i was doing, i was sooo new to this but yet i found myself doing random things that normally i would NEVER of dreamt of doing in any other circumstances. It was becoming apparent to me that Troy was trying to allow me to take the lead and not do anything i found un-comfortable. I was grateful and as a result I found myself running my tongue across his bottom lip gently as if asking for permission to enter his mouth, causing his previously closed eyes to snap open and then he kissed back 'fiercely', deciding to take control.

As our tongues came into the 'equation' i felt a moan escape my mouth. At that, i felt Troy smile into the kiss while he just stroked the tip of his tongue along mine as one of his hands crept up to tilt my head back. I really couldn't believe what was happening at that moment. My eyes were closed as i basked in the sweetness of the kiss. I suddenly regretted closing my eyes however, as i random but yet vivid picture of Melodie came into my mind. She was sneering at me while holding hands with Troy.

At that thought, i pulled away from Troy quickly much to his surprise. I ran a hand through my hair reading as Troy asked "Whats the matter?"

I waited a minute before picking up my nearby note pad and pen. That was a mistake. Please go. I scribbled.

Troy read then looked back up at me "Gabriella? Whats going on. That was not a mistake"

It was. You have melodie. Troy please leave now. I wrote before looking resolutely down at my hands. I think i noticed Troy say something but as i wasnt looking at him i couldn't read it. He seemed to sit there for a moment before standing up and leaving.

I rolled over onto my side, hugging my pillow before allowing a single tear to slide down my face.

Troys P.O.V

I woke up the morning after the night before, my head still as unclear as it had been before i had gone to sleep. Last night at Gabriella's had been confusing and wierd in soo many ways.

But the one that was bugging me the most was that after Gabriella and shared the most incredible kiss i have ever experienced; she told me to leave. I just dont get it? She said it was a mistake and that i have Melodie?

But i don't have Melodie. She knows i dumped Melodie yesterday. I had told her...so why was she saying i still had her?

I even told her last night before i left, yet she ignored me.

I groaned in confusement, my head already hurting. I stood up and got changed ready for what i saw was going to be a very very confusing day.

I pulled up at East High, alone in my car. Gabriella nowhere to be seen. I had gone around for her that morning when she hadn't turned up for her lift but there was no answer. I just dont understand what i did last night that was soo bad Gabriella can't even sit in the same car as me?

I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped out of my car, immedietely spotting the gang outside the East High entrance. I walked swiftly over, greeting them all before asking the most important question i had been burning to ask. "Have you guys seen Gabriella?"

"No, i saw her mom though. Maybe she got a lift with her this morning?" Taylor shrugged "Did something happen between you two or something Troy?"

"No" I said shiftily before walking into East High, the gang following me suspicously. I didn't bother to go to my locker but just went straight to homeroom where i had a strong suspision Gabriella would be. My suspisions were correct. Sitting resolutely at her desk was Gabriella. She looked sad but yet alarmed when she noticed me walking over to her; the gang following. She sunk into her seat looking down at her desk - like she could just disappear into. I knelt infront of her, trying to get her to look at me so i could ask her what was going on. She looked away however in the opposite direction - Obviously uninterested.

I sighed as the bell rung loudly. WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?!

It was like i was in an ulternate universe...

Gabriella's P.O.V

After our little run in homeroom i had tried my best to keep away from Troy. Which was pretty hard when you think about it because we are in the exact same classes together. All morning he had spent a numerous amount of time trying to get my attention but for some reason i just couldn't give him it. I wasn't upset with him as such, just more disappointed with myself for allowing that second kiss to happen last night.

Troy had a girlfriend and i was coming between them...No matter how much i disliked Melodie, i couldn't just wreck her relationship with Troy. That was NOT what i was about.

As the bell rung to signal the beginning of lunch i was thoroughly relieved. Troy had found an easy opportunity to continuely catch my attention in English as we were watching a movie and the teacher was busy marking papers so therefore didn't feel need to keep watch over the class. He had tried nudging me, throwing notes and even sign language. All of which i ignored.

I jumped up from my seat, racing to get out of the class before Troy could catch up with me. I walked hastily through the student filled corridor to my locker, hoping to god Troy wasnt following me. I opened my locker, checking around to see no familiar faces. Breathing a sigh of relief i relaxed for a second.

I had to admit, i felt really bad about how i was ignoring Troy. He obviously wanted to talk to me but i just couldn't. I couldn't allow him to cheat on his girlfriend - However much i despised her.

I closed my locker before noticing the corridor was pratically empty already, everyone being in the cafeteria. I slowly walked down the hallway towards the girls bathroom, deciding going to the cafeteria really wasn't the best idea. I swung the door to the bathroom open noticing it was empty. I moved over to the sink, turning the watertap on and cupping some water in my hand before splashing it over my face.

"What have you got yourself into Gabriella?" I asked myself while drying my face and pulling out some makeup from my pocket and beginning to re-touch my face up. I jumped slightly as the girls bathroom door swung open, a few girls entering - Much to my dismay, Melodie and her minions.

I decided to ignore them and carry on with my makeup hoping to god they were going to leave me alone. But yet, as i could see Melodies evil face in the reflection of the mirror i could tell they weren't. My thoughts were correct as Melodies minions grabbed me and pushed my up against a nearby wall, my arm hitting painfully against a paper dispenser.

"Fucking Bitch" I read Melodie say, looking thoroughly pissed. "Who do you think you are?!"

I didn't reply - I couldn't. Instead i just allow her minions to keep me firmly pushed up against the wall and the dispenser.

"Answer me!" She scowled "Why are you with Troy so much!"

I stood silently, what was a meant to do? I could feel my arm that had been hit on the paper dispenser searing with pain but i had no way of fixing it. I could also feel Melodies minions long fingernails gripping onto my arms, probably causing severe bruising. I had never been 'abushed' like this before and had no idea how to deal with it.

I watched one of her minions say somehing to Melodie "Mel she cant hear remember, she cant talk either"

"Yeah but she can read my lips" Melodie replied before moving menancingly close to me. "Read my lips good and clear yes? Stay the fuck away from Troy. Understand? He is mine and always will be. don't think you can come in and wreck the relationship i have with Troy. The relationship i built. Got it?"

I didn't reply.

"I said. GOT IT?" I read Melodie say, her face inches away from mine. I nodded frantically feeling as her minions released me and walked out of the bathroom with their leader. I leant against the wall, sliding down it slowly. Tears dropping down my face. I hated this place. It royally sucked; i wish my mom had never had to transfer...There would of been none of the pain, heartache or drama then.

I decided that ditching my afternoon lessons was the best option for me that day. I didn't want to risk running into Troy again or Melodie for that fact. Plus my arms were extremely painful.

I never meant for any of this to happen. I didn't want any of this to happen.

Troy's P.O.V

I ran across the court, my trainers squeaking against the hard hard, varnished, gym floor. The basketball left my hand before bouncing straight back up to it. I bent my knees releasing the orange ball from my hands aiming for the basketball hoop, sighing angrily as it missed completely.

"Dude! whats gotten into you?" Chad asked running up to me. It was after basketball practice that afternoon and because of playing poorly in the practice I had and decided to stay and work a little bit more; Chad joining me.

"I don't know man. I can't fucking shoot ok?" I said angrily, wiping away the sweat that was running down my face, ignoring my aching muscles.

"Well you need to shoot." Chad said stating the obvious.

"Yeah man i know" I said, taking a seat on the gym floor for a break.

"What going on? something is up, you have been acting wierd all day" Chad said joining me.

"Its Gabriella"

"What happened"

"Last night, we kissed right? And then she tells me to leave" I admitted shaking my head.

"Woah was it that bad?" Chad joked cracking a smile. I glared at him watching his face turn to a serious one again.

"I don't know man, that was our second kiss and it felt incredible. Next thing i know she is telling me to leave because i have Melodie. I don't have melodie!!" I said louder then i had intended.

"Thats wierd man, is this why you have been trying to get her attention all day?"

"Yeah."

"You like her alot don't you?" Chad asked

"I don't know. Truthfully, theres something about her and im not just talking about the deaf thing i mean in general. She is special" I said more quieter then before.

"Sounds to me like your falling for her"

"Maybe..."

"You know, Melodie isn't going to give up this easily Troy. She wants you, i think she is laying low and if you get with Gabriella your lives will be like hell"

"What can she do? Besides, we have nothing to worry about because im not with Gabriella. Hell, she won't even look at me"

"...Look at you...Dude THATS IT!" Chad said

"What?" I asked looking at my bestfriend.

"Are you sure Gabriella was looking at you when your told her about Melodie? Are you SURE" Chad asked

I thought for a minute, things clicking into place. The other day, Gabriella was looking down at her desk and last night she was looking down at her hands. She couldn't have seen what i was saying. Therefore she obviously thinks im still with Melodie. I jumped up quickly. "Chad, i never thought i'd say this but your a fucking genius!!" And with that i ran out of the gym, ignoring the fact i was still wearing my wildcat practice jersey and shorts. I ran through the hallways and out of East High to my car, jumping in and setting off.

Gabriella was going to look at me when i told her. I was not with Melodie.

Gabriella had to know:

...I was falling for her.
