(Troy's pov)


it was Monday, so we had 4 full days left of Rome.
i was going to miss rome, the fun i had with gabriella, the freedom this place gave me, and the endless days of fun.
i rolled out of bed, glancing and the clock, it read 7.50am. i closed my eyes then opened them again in shock "shit, chad wake up" i shouted, running over to the wardrobe and grabbing some jeans and a t-shirt. "urgh?" he groaned, looking over at me "its 7.50 man, we have 10 mins, come on!" i shouted, running into the bathroom and closing the door behind me.
i jumped into the shower...i couldn't start the day without a shower. i washed myself as quick as i could, and squirted some shampoo on my head. rinsing it off as quick as i could, i jumped out of the shower, and dried myself.
i threw on my clothes and styled my hair using some gel that was left out. i wore a grey, short sleeved top, and some jeans, throwing on some black shoes, i ran out of the bathroom and headed for the door.
"chad..." i reminded myself, turning around and seeing him laid in bed...asleep walking over to the kitchen area, i filled up a glass of water and walked over to his bed.
"woops, slipped" i laughed, as i emptied the contents over Chad's head.
"argh" chad screamed. "what the hell did you do that for?" he said, jumping out of bed. "i asked you to wake up 10 minutes ago!" i was annoyed at this point.
"hurry up and get dressed, I'll wait 5 mins for you" i took a seat on my bed and started looking around.

15 minutes later and chad was finally ready. we were running so late right now, the girls were probably sending out a search party.
i dragged him out of the hotel room and we headed for the stairs, running at a fast pace. "dude, you do know, all the food will have gone" troy laughed, running down the stairs two at a time "what? why didn't you wake me up earlier" chad screamed at me.
"calm down" i laughed, as we approached the dining hall.

we walked in, trying to look as casual as possible, and headed over to where Gabriella and Taylor were sat.
"you took your time, what held you back? wouldn't chad's hair go in place?" gabriella laughed. chad didn't take it too well,
"haha your funny" he said, walking towards the buffet table. i followed him and looked over the table to see what i wanted. when we got back to the table, Taylor and Gabriella were saying how excited they were for Venice. i was pretty psyched about it, but didn't want my excitement show too much. chad, however, didn't seem to bothered "whoa, ladies, calm down, it's not nearly as good as going to the basketball stadium" he jumped up and down in his seat, like an excited child at the seaside. we all glared at him, which caused him to stop, putting his head down, he carried on eating his toast.

after chad was fully satisfied with the amount of food he had consumed, we all walked out, onto the coach which was waiting for us outside. chad ran on, and took the back seat, saving seats for us. the journey was to last a couple of hours, so everyone had brought things with them to occupy their mind. i didn't i had Gabriella. i was content to sit their with Gabriella's hand in mine. chad was singing loudly at the top of his voice, and jumping up and down. Taylor and Gabriella were talking about clothes and stuff. i could just hear their muffled voices as i drifted away...i was looking out the window at the passing scenery. imagining how perfect my life was at this moment. re-living the past week, remembering what had happened, how we almost broke up. but my romantic skills played a huge part and i'd got back together with her. "hey, dude, did you know they call this the city of water?" chad shouted, interrupting my daze.
i shook my head in an attempt to wake myself up.
"dude, we learnt that in the 7th grade, you have to know that? oh wait, you practially slept through that year so I'm very surprised that even you knew that!" i said, sarcastically, i knew i had just ruined his 'smart' moment. why? why do you have always do that? can t i just seem smart for at least 5 minutes? he asked, his head sinking to the floor. i looked out of the window, laughing to my self "no." i said, turning back.

the rest of the journey, nobody talked much, we had the occasional conversation, but nothing much. i loved the feeling of Gabriella in my arms, her head, resting on my chest, my arm hanging loosely around her waist.
looking out the window again, i saw all the scenery passing by. i shuddered as i felt gabriella drawing little circles on my arm's. i shuddered and kissed the top of her head.

"man! we're here!" chad jumped out of his seat and shouted at the top of his voice. everyone turned and looked out of the window, to see a towering stadium.
"everyone who wants to go to the basketball stadium, come this way, you will be with me, Mr. Harding and Mr. hooken".
i kissed gabriella on the cheek and walked off the coach, looking back over my shoulder, i smiled at her. when we were all off the coach, everyone waved us off and they set off. that left the lad to check out the amazing basketball stadium.
"this place is huge" chad said, walking into the building. huge walls, painted with basketball stars towered over us all. everyone fell silent as we all looked around, taking in our surroundings. we were greeted by a friendly coach who was going to show us around, and also show us some new skills, which would come in useful during game play.

"how amazing is this place? just think, we could be playing in an American version of this...when...when we leave school of course" chad said, as we entered the court. we had just finished the tour, we had seen everything there was to see, we knew everything we could possibly know.

"half of you to one basket, half to the other, i'm going to start my showing you the advance techniques of shooting" the coach said, addressing the whole of the group. "i've been told you know the basics." he continued. we were split into two groups so we had more shoots. the coach taught the Venice teams, so he had the best techniques in the business. after shooting, we were taught dodging, dribbling, and a whole load of other techniques.

"dude, this is amazing stuff" jason said, patting me on the back, whilst we were waiting to throw.
"yeah, i know, imagine us using them in front of the knights, they're gunna be shocked" i replied, throwing the ball straight into the net, and running to the back.

"okay lads, if you can make your way to the stands, a match will begin in around 15 minutes" the coach said. "no way?" chad shouted "we're watching a match" he carried on. "yeah, we are, sorry, i forgot to mention" the coach laughed and led everyone to the stands.
at this point, everyone was excited for the game. without warning, crowds of fans began filling into the stadium. the fans with bright red tops on, waving flags, blowing whistles. then there was the blue coloured fans. we all sat their, wide eyed. the amount of fans was unbelievable.

"welcome to the math of the Romanian bulls against the Venice giants" the crowd erupted in cheers as both teams ran onto the court, both from different sides. the Venice giant's cheerleaders began their routine whilst the two teams began to warm up.

------

all eyes were on the players as the match drew to a close. with 1 minute left to go, the score was 64-64 the pressure was on. player 14...dribbled the ball down towards the basket, the red colour flying by as if in the wind. he threw the ball out of his hands, towards the net.
silence.
the time seemed to slow down. everyone gasped and their eyes darted towards the basket, as the ball seemed to circle around the hoop slowly. "in" chad yelled. every single giants fan jumped into the air as the buzzer rang and the giants were declared the winners.
the whole stadium was buzzing with excitement...except from the bulls, who were obviously gutted they lost.

we were then led into the lobby, to have a register taken, making sure nobody have got lost. once done, we saw miss burns walk into the stadium.
"come on lads, the girls are waiting" she laughed, and led the way to the coach.
when we got outside, most of the girls were stood outside of the coach. i saw Gabriella running towards me, so i opened my arms. she ran into my arms, "hey, did you have a nice time?" "yeah it was amazing, we can swap stories on he ride home" i said, wrapping my arms around her waist. i took her hand and lead her onto the coach. we sat at the back and i wrapped my arms protectively around her. "so, what did you get up to?" i asked, as the coach set off.
she began to tell me what she was doing throughout the day.
"...and then we went to the fashion show, it was amazing, we saw gok wan and ferne cotton!" she said, her adorable eyes looking up into mine. the sparkle in her eyes distracted me as she carried on telling me her whole day.

"i'm glad you had a good time" i smiled as she finished telling. i kissed the top of her head and proceeded to looking out of the window. "now tell me what you did" she said, turning my head and beaming up at me. "you know, you won't enjoy hearing about my day" i laughed, looking into her eyes, which almost seemed as if she was silently pleeding with me. "fine..." i sighed "we started off by getting a tour, seriously, that place is huge!" i said "yeah, just think gabs, me and troy could be playing somewhere like there!" chad said, jumping up and down. Gabriella laughed and looked up at me, as if to carry on.

-
"the game was amazing, I've never seen so many supporters....and then miss burns came and got us" i finished, taking a sip of water. by now, we were almost back at the hotel...the night sky was shining through the windows, with the stars in the sky.
when we arrived back at the hotel, everyone sleepily walked off he bus and into the hotel. doing their own thing. "fancy checking out the entertainment?" chad asked, looking at the bulletin board. i laughed silently and nudged Gabriella, "nah man, im wiped, i'm gunna have an early night i think" i said, winking at Gabriella.
"yeah me too, i'll see you later tay, chad" gabriella said, i took her hand and lead her up the stairs. when we got close to our rooms, i carried on walking, towards the next pair of stairs.
"where are we going, i thought..." she began looking up at me.
"i heard there's an amazing roof garden" i laughed.

we walked up the last set of stairs and ended up in the midnight air. "woah" was all Gabriella could manage. i lead her further towards the middle, and stopped, looking up into the night sky. "this is...beautiful" i said looking down at her. before i knew what was happening, my arms were around her waist, her arms around my neck. our heads were leaning in, and we were sharing a sweet passionate kiss. after several minutes, we broke apart and i rested my forehead on hers, not wanting to ruin the moment. neither of us wanted to move, but we knew sooner or later...we had to.

i lead her over to a bench and she sat on my knee, i placed my arms around her waist, loosley and we started up, watching the stars over us. the perfect moment.


As i said, this is just the same as the last chapter but from a different POV.
