"Hey Troy, d-," Gabriella started to say, until she noticed everyone was staring at her. Then the people around them started to whisper, but it was loud enough for Troy and Gabriella to hear.

"Troy and Gabriella? A couple?" One woman questioned.

"Troy's taken?!?" Another girl exclaimed, disappointed.

"Gabriella's one lucky girl," A man whispered, obviously he was gay.

"Lucky," A guy muttered as he glared at Troy.

"Uh, Troy you have a meeting in 5," Gabriella stated as she walked down the hall to her office.

"What are you guys doing just staring at me? Get back to work!" Troy ordered as everyone then went back work. Troy then walked back to his office and gathered his things for the meeting. Gabriella then knocked on his office door and opened it.

"That totally worked!" Gabriella exclaimed as she shut the door behind her.

"I know!" Troy exclaimed as him and Gabriella started to jump up and down. "Did you see everyone staring at us when we walked out?" Troy asked as Gabriella nodded her head.

"I know! Anyways, we better go to the meeting before we're late," Gabriella stated as Troy grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers through hers. They then walked into the meeting room.

Once they got there, everyone, once again, was staring at them. They just took their seats and when they sat down they let go of each other's hands. A loud gasp was made from all the women in the room. Gabriella rolled her eyes and started to write some things down. Troy then wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Usually, Gabriella would shake it off, but she remembered she had to be his fake girlfriend so she kissed his cheek instead.

Troy smiled Gabriella, who was writing some things down on a piece of paper. Troy then got up and started the meeting.

After the meeting was over everyone, including Troy and Gabriella, gathered their things and left. When Troy was ready to go he grabbed Gabriella's hand and they walked out of the meeting room.

Once Troy finished his work, he looked at his blackberry touch and saw it was already 5. He then gathered his blackberry, Calvin Klein wallet and his keys and headed out the door towards Gabriella's office.

When he got there he knocked on the door 2 times before opening it and peeking he head inside.

"Hello?" Troy asked, seeing if Gabriella was there.

"Hey," Gabriella greeted as she saw him walk into his office and take a seat.

"I can't thank you enough for pretending to be my fake girlfriend," Troy commented.

"No problem. It was kind of fun," Gabriella added as she continued to type on her computer.

"Are you busy right now? Because if you are I will just leave," Troy rambled as he stood back up and headed towards the door.

"Your fine, sit back down. I was just going to print this off and file it," Gabriella ordered as she grabbed a piece of paper from the printer and walked over to her filing cabinet.

"Okay. Look I was wondering if you could pretend to be my date for the staff party tonight?" Troy asked sheepishly.

"Yeah, I guess so," Gabriella answered as she shut down her computer and gathered her things in her big brown Louie Vuitton bag.

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7 then," Troy added.

"Okay, see you at 7 then," Gabriella replied as she walked out of her office, but Troy grabbed he hand and walked out with her.

"Hello? We're a couple," Troy reminded Gabriella.

"Right," Gabriella remembered as a red headed woman walked up to them.

"Hey Troy," The red head flirted as she walked closer to Troy. "DO you want to head to that new night club with me?" The red head asked as she grabbed his other hand that Gabriella wasn't holding.

"Back off Rachel, Troy's taken," Gabriella replied as she pulled Troy closer to her.

"Since when? This morning? How long do you think you can keep this up Gabriella?" Rachel asked, glaring at her.

"Excuse me? We have been dating for 5 months Rachel! How back off!" Gabriella exclaimed as she walked to the elevator with Troy.

"That was amazing! You should be an actress someday," Troy commented as they both got into the empty elevator.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Gabriella said as she pushed the button that read 1.

"So, I was wondering, at any point do you plan on kissing me?" Troy asked hopeful.

"Ooo, Troy Bolton is anxious to kiss me," Gabriella teased sarcastically. "As tempting that is I will have to say maybe and I repeat MAYBE tonight," Gabriella answered as Troy smirked. They both then got out pf the elevator and headed towards their cars.

"Do you need a ride?" Troy asked walking in the parking lot next to Gabriella.

"No thanks. I have my Audi A4," Gabriella answered as she walked to her car, parked next to Troy's. Gabriella opened the door to the drivers seat and put her purse in the passenger seat. She then put her Ray Ban sunglasses on, waved to Troy and back out of the parking space. Troy watched Gabriella leave, he brown curly hair flying in the wind.

"Damn," Troy muttered as he got into his car and drove home.
