Troy opened his eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the light that was beaming down on him. He frowned for a second. How did his living room light turn on? He could have sworn that it was off when he laid down on the couch to take a quick nap. He let out a big sigh and looked up at the ceiling.

It had been about three weeks since school started and it had to be one of the hardest weeks that he had ever had. First there was him coaching basketball. After a very tiring and intense try-out week Troy had finally put together his varsity team. He had never seen a team so uncoordinated, awkward, or lazy in all his years in playing basketball. He had blamed it on the last coach. He had talked to his team and it seemed that their last coach didn't do much, but show up at games, there were hardly any practices or drills to run. Troy definitely changed that by having practice every single day after school and on Saturday mornings. They needed all the practice they could get. It wasn't that they were bad players they were just untrained players, and that took a lot of work.

Besides basketball classes had been hell also. Well not all of them just his music and gym class that had Gabriella Montez in them. He tried, tried to get her out of his head, but that just wasn't happening. She would come to class every day looking more and more beautiful. He remembered the second day of school when she came to gym class….

Troy had walked into the gym, his whistle around his neck and his basketball shorts on. He was going to have them play volleyball for the week, showing them different moves and terms for the sport. He was pleased when he saw his students sitting on the bleachers waiting for him. He noticed that Gabriella wasn't there but didn't pay mind to it and began talking to the students about the art form of volleyball. He picked the teams and had his students start up a game. Just as he was finished, in walked the girl that hunted his dreams.

She was a vision that was for sure. Her wavy hair bounced softly against her shoulders as she made her way over to him and a small smile on her face. Troy's eyes scanned her body and he cursed under his breath from what she was wearing. Her t-shirt wasn't a problem…yes it was a little too tight and you could definitely see her black sports bra underneath, but it was the shorts that caught his attention. They had to be the tiniest black shorts that he had ever seen. His hand tightened around his chart that he held in his hands before he looked away.

"Coach Bolton, sorry I'm late," she said softly.

Troy didn't look up at first. He cleared his eyes of the desire that he knew showed. He couldn't believe he was checking out his student. His high school student. He took a deep breath and finally looked at her.

Her head was cocked to the side just a bit and she licked her lips. It took everything in Troy's power not to pull her against him and taste those lips himself.

"Gabriella do you have a note from a teacher."

She narrowed her eyes. "No."

"Well you know the rules. Two laps."

"What?" she scoffed at him. "Mr. Bolton come on it's the second day of school."

"I don't care. You where here yesterday and you know the rules." He stated. He pointed to her. "And what is this Miss. Montez? I thought I made it very clear that gym clothes were suppose to be modest."

She looked down at herself and frowned. Her fingers skimmed her uncovered thighs innocently. Troy swallowed deeply. Damn it!

"And I thought I made it clear that I had no modest shorts. This was all I had." She smirked. "I didn't want to get detention for not having the right materials for class."

Troy cleared his throat and looked over at the volleyball game.

"Run the laps Miss. Montez then join the game." He said not looking at her. "And don't come back with and outfit like that again or I will give you detention."

Try stiffened as he felt her hand on his arm. "Oh thank you so much Coach."

Troy tried to keep his eyes on the game, helping a few students out when serving. It was difficult to concentrate when you had that girl that you been lusting after even though you weren't suppose to running in a very sexy manner.

Troy tried not to pay attention to the way her chest bounced up and down because it was giving him very, very dirty thoughts. He tried not to pay attention to the way she breathed when she passed him because it was giving him very, very dirty thoughts. Troy finally had to sit on the bleachers and stare at the net until she was finished, he didn't even notice her actually walking up to him.

"I'm done Coach. Which team do you want me on?"

Troy held back the comment that he wouldn't mind her being on his team. He cursed himself again.

"Go ahead and go to the team on the left." He said lowly.

She nodded her head and turned to make her way to play. She stopped at the edge of the court and bend down. Troy placed his chart in front of his basketball shorts as he watched her tie her shoe. If it was possible those short shorts rose even high and Troy quickly looked at the game being played when his eyes locked on that perfect ass. Damn it all to hell! He couldn't believe that he was getting a boner in his gym class because of his female student…

Troy groaned allowed his eyes still on the ceiling. He had tried to ignore her every day since then. It was hard because she seemed to always want to talk to him and even that Troy didn't want to do. He had wondered over the past weeks if she had a little crush on him. The things that she did. She didn't outright flirt with him, but the way that she carried herself when she was around him. He just didn't know.

Troy groaned. He really needed to get up. It was a Saturday and he had taken a nap as soon as he got home from practice.

"Hey dude."

Troy sat up quickly and looked around his eyes landing on his best friend. Chad stood there a sandwich in his hand, a smile on his face, and his large curly hair in a thick pony tail.

"What the hell are you doing in my apartment?"

Chad shrugged his shoulders. "I can't come down and say hi to my best friend."

Troy swung his legs to the floor and sighed. "Of course dude, you couldn't call though?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise."

"How did you get in?"

"Spare key."

Troy decided not to ask Chad how he got the key and stood up and walked to the kitchen, deciding to make him a sandwich also.

"So?" Chad said following him and leaning against the kitchen counter. "How's life since you've moved?"

"Pretty good. I love teaching. It's everything I thought."

Chad smiled and looked at Troy with a knowing look. Troy looked up from spreading mustard on his bread. "What?"

"Who's Gabriella?"

Troy froze and looked up at Chad who was laughing.

"What?"

"Gabriella? You were moaning her name when I walked in. That's one of the reason's I didn't wake you up. Seems like you were have a very…pleasurable dream…" Chad raised his eyebrows knowingly.

Troy sighed and shook his head. "She's no one."

"Obviously she's someone."

Troy finished up his sandwich and went back to the couch and turned on the television. He turned to South Park and watched ignoring Chad's look, who had also sat next to him.

"So how long are you going to be here?" Troy asked.

"I'm going home tomorrow night."

Troy eyes unfocused on the television and he took a bite of his sandwich.

"So uhh…have you seen Madison lately?" He asked quietly.

He didn't know what made him think of her. Maybe he was just trying to get a sexy brunette out of his head.

"Madison?" Chad asked shrugging. "No. Not really."

Troy gave him a questioning look. "What does that mean…not really?"

"I mean I've seen her at the bar a few times."

Troy nodded his head. "hmm."

"So are you going to tell me who Gabriella is?" Chad pressed.

Troy looked at Chad wondering if he could tell him the truth about her. He was his best friend and he did need some advice about the whole situation though he knew that Chad had never been in this predicament before.

"Okay if I tell you, you have to promise not to say anything to anyone." He said seriously. "No one Chad. I mean it."

"Dude okay." Chad finished his sandwich "Why is it so serious?"

Troy took a deep breath. "Gabriella is a student."

He looked at Chad who was quiet for a while, and waited for his reaction. Chad nodded his head thoughtfully and crossed his arms.

"So?" he asked Troy.

Troy widened his eyes. "So? Dude she's my student. It's illegal."

"Really?" Chad looked towards the television. "I thought it was only illegal if the student was underage."

Troy shook his head. "I'm pretty sure it's illegal just because she's my students."

"So she's eighteen?" Chad asked.

Troy shrugged. "I don't know. I mean I've never looked up her records or anything. She's a senior so maybe."

"Look dude I don't think it's illegal if she's eighteen. It might be frowned on but not illegal."

Troy sighed. "Dude she's my student. I can't…"

Chad frowned as he looked at his friend.

"I've been obsessing with her since the first day school. I'm always thinking about her, and when I'm around her my thoughts get a little…ya know."

"Raunchy." Chad said a smile forming on his face.

Troy couldn't help but let out a little laugh. "You're stupid. But I guess something like that."

"Hmm." Chad said, "Maybe you're just rebounding. "

"Rebounding?"

"Yeah. I mean you were in love with Madison for long. You see a hot girl and bam!...you're in love again."

Troy rolled his eyes. "Dude I'm not in love with Gabriella, and believe me I'm still in love with Madison."

Chad's mouth dropped open and he laughed. "Are you serious? Dude she broke up with you because you don't make enough money. "

Troy made no comment and instead looked back at the television ignoring Chad.

"Troy, I'm sorry, but you deserve better than her. Maybe this Gabriella girl will be good for you. Maybe she'll help you get over Madison." Chad said, "even if she is a rebound."

"First of all she's not a rebound, and second of all have you listened to a word I said. She's my students and it's against the law."

"First of not if she's eighteen it's not illegal and plus it's just frowned upon." Chad nudged Troy. "Come on dude, if she's into you I don't see a problem. Maybe you can keep it secret…it'll be a little kinky."

Troy gave Chad a disbelieving look before he thought about his words. Could he really have a relationship with Gabriella and if he did would she help him get over Madison? Could he even use her like that? He was attracted to her, there was no doubt about that but her personality was a little on the questionable side. She was a bitch no doubt. He knew that she talked about people, was very demanding, and did anything she could to get what he got. Yeah she was a brat.

Troy liked to think that he would pick personality over looks anything but damn Gabriella was hot.

"Look, dude I don't even know if she likes me or not…" Troy said quietly, "I mean not that I would do—"

"Shut up." Chad said putting a hand up, "dude she likes you. You're like the American boy toy dream boat. Look there are some signs that a girl does when she likes you. All you have to do is pay attention."

"Signs? Chad what the hell do you know about signs? You don't have a girlfriend."

"Oh my good friend, I get plenty of ass though. Number 1, One thing that a girl will do, when she likes a guy, and believe me it has nothing to do with words it's done more actions wise. If a girl likes a guy, she will almost always touch him. Number 2, when a girl likes a guy she will always compliment him, this is considered a type of flirt so pay attention to that Troy or you're miss your chance by flirting innocently back with her. Number 3, a girl will always talk in a pleasant tone towards the guy she likes, she's sound a little more feminine, a little girly. Number 4, make sure you notice what she's doing like if she touching her hair or, adjust her clothing or changes her sitting position…that a nice way also and number 5, a girl will always try and look the guy straight in the eye especially if they are talking…has to due with the girl thinking that we're 'deep' or some shit."

Troy looked at Chad with a questioning look on his face.


She didn't understand. She had tried almost everything beside go straight up to him and kiss those perfect lips of his. Though it seemed like every time she looked at him he wasn't paying attention or he was completely ignoring her. She didn't know what it was with him. He was his freaking teacher for crying out loud.

Gabriella was confused with this whole…thing. Not only with Coach but also with herself. Why was she trying to get the attention of a guy older than she was and was her teacher when she had a perfectly good guy with her already.

Kade was one in a million. They were the perfect couple, besides the fact that she hadn't really been feeling like they were together since school started. She would call and text him only to get replies back that he was busy, and they were understanding excuses, practice, or his family, or he was hanging out with the boys. She only saw him on the weekends and that was usually on a Friday night. They use to hang out almost every night.

Maybe they weren't the perfect couple. If she did break up with Kade then she wouldn't feel guilty about flirting with Coach. And yes she did feel guilty. She never wanted a guy to cheat on her so she would never cheat on her guy. Breaking up with Kade seemed to be the most reasonable answer but she didn't want to be alone if it didn't work out with Coach.

What was she thinking? Of course it wouldn't work out with him. He was her teacher and he had no interest in her at all. If he was a high school student Gabriella would be damned if she let him get away from her. He seemed like such a nice, gracious, strong, caring person. She noticed the way that he tried to get students interested in the history of music. How spontaneous he was. She noticed how his posture when he talked to one of his students. It was uptight and stuffy like other teachers were and he didn't seem to be in a rush when talking. Yes he was a good guy.

These thoughts drove Gabriella crazy. She was so confused that she took it out on people. Yeah she knew that she was mean to a few people but the past three weeks she had been acting like a total bitch. And the word bitch was too weak of a word. She randomly snapped at people, probably making them feel lower than dirt. Did she care…not really; it just took a lot of energy out of her when she was like that.

Gabriella leaned her head against the open locker staring at the books she had stacked neatly, thinking about the predicament that she was in.

"If I say hi are you going to snap at me?"

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "No."

She saw from the corner of her eye Taylor leaning against the locker next to hers. She was looking at her uncertainly.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"Yeah right. Gabriella you've been acting like a bitch and I know it's not your time of the month."

Gabriella took out the needed books and closed her locker looking at Taylor.

"I know." She sighed. "I'm just a little out there."

"And you're not going to tell me what the problem is?"

Gabriella bit her lip, wondering if she should tell Taylor her problem. The one reason that she wouldn't tell her was because Taylor hated high school stupidness. Things like oh I'm crushing on this guy but I don't know if he really likes me or not. She didn't like unnecessary giddiness.

"You don't wanna know."

Taylor shrugged. "Yeah I do. I wanna know why you've been acting like a brat."

Gabriella sighed and nodded her head. "It's stupid."

"Gabriella!"

"I have a crush on Coach."

"Crush on Coach?"

"Mr. Bolton. The music teacher, the basketball coach."

Taylor was quite for a minute before she burst out laughing drawing attention from a few students in the hallway.

"What the hell is so funny?" Gabriella said with a straight face.

"You've been acting unpleasant because of a crush on a teacher." She laughed.

"See this is why I didn't tell you." Gabriella made her way down the hall, leaving her laughing friend behind.

She felt a hand on her arm stopping her and she turned around to face Taylor.

"I'm sorry Gabriella." She said. "It's just a little…well…funny."

Gabriella started walking again but was stopped.

"Wait! Okay obviously this serious." Taylor said.

"It is."

"A crush huh?"

Gabriella nodded her head. "Taylor he is…so hot."

"Yeah that's what crushes usually consist of. That's all they consist of. "

"That's not the only thing that makes him attractive. His personality is hot also."

Taylor cocked an eyebrow. "Personality? When the hell did you care about personality."

Gabriella ignored her.

"He doesn't like me."

"Well I should hope not." Taylor said then she looked at Gabriella. "Sorry."

"Not only doesn't he like me like that, but I don't think he likes me as a person, as a student."

"What makes you say that?"

"He never looks at me. Ever. I mean I've talked to him a few times but he doesn't look at me."

Taylor nodded her head thoughtfully.

"Gabriella, don't worry over this. He's a teacher, you're a student. It will never happen."

Gabriella shrugged. "It might."

Taylor shook her head.

"No! Gabriella no. It won't happen. It's frowned upon. "

Gabriella smirked. "It's not illegal?"

"Well no. I mean if you were under eighteen then yeah, but you are eighteen so it's two consenting adults so it'll only be frowned upon but still…"

"So like… he can't get in trouble if we get together."

Taylor gave her a incredulous look. "Are you listening to me!? It's not a good idea. He might not get in trouble but he can get fired."

"But not in trouble with law."

Taylor shook her head. "What about Kade? I mean…I know I can't stand that stupid ass but you're still dating him."

Gabriella nodded her head. "Yeah I know but it seems like we've grown apart. He's always busy with something and I think about Mr. Bolton more than I think about Kade."

Taylor sighed. "Gabriella, break up with Kade. Please do it. But don't do it because of Mr. Bolton. Do it because your best friend hates him. "

Gabriella laughed. "You don't think it'll happen between us?" she asked seriously.

"Seriously?" Taylor hung her head shaking it slightly. "You are an attractive girl, and Mr. Bolton is young, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought you were eye-catching but Gabriella, you can't act on it. It'll ruin him if people found out. Besides…he's your teacher, he's smart enough not to act on those feelings if he has them."

Gabriella pushed her hair back and groaned. "This is so complicated." She said loudly.

"Well, try not to take your complications out on people today okay." Taylor said taking her arm and pulling her towards class.


Troy concentrated on putting the papers from his class in his bag. Piece of his sandy hair fell across his eyes, his lips were pressed tightly together, and his heart was beating erratically. This was all Chad's fault. If he hadn't said those five rules he would have never noticed how Gabriella kept moving around in her seat, or how when he glanced at her, her eyes seemed to catch his, or when she would smile softly when he said a stupid joke.

He knew it was wrong to think of her in that way. It was unethical. She was his student she came to school to learn not to be lusted after by her teacher. He couldn't believe he was in this dilemma.

"Mr. Bolton?"

Troy turned around to look at her slowly. He looked around and noticed that no one else was in the room. Ohhhh…this was not good.

"Miss. Montez?"

She smiled and nudged his arm, Troy's heart sped up. "Oh just call me Gabriella. Miss. Montez seems too formal."

He nodded his head stiffly. "Is there anything you need?"

Gabriella bit her lip. She racked her brain to come up with something they talked about in class. The only thing was she didn't really pay attention to the lecture itself.

"Umm…well…I was wondering if you…uh…could explain…." She looked around the room for something to trigger her memory…her eyes feel on a music note. "The difference between music notes again?" she looked up at the clock. "We have plenty of time."

Troy pressed his lips together and nodded. As much as he knew this was a mistake he didn't want her to leave his presence yet. He walked over to the board to draw the notes and didn't miss the fact that she had followed him.

He breathed in deeply taking in her scent. Troy noticed that she didn't have one constant scent, today she smelled like bananas…as weird as that was.

"This is a whole note." He said softly, "it has four counts. 1…2…3…4…"

"Hmm…and it's drawn like this."

Gabriella reached stepped closer and took the marker out of his hand, her hand lingeringly a little bit too long on his. She finally drew the exact shape on the board.

"Yep."

Troy reached over and tried to take the marker from Gabriella's hand but she held on to it. Troy looked up to her face and found her smiling.

"Let go Gabriella."

She giggled. "Maybe I don't want to."

Troy felt himself relax a bit at her teasing tone. "Well…if you don't I'll—"

"You'll what?" she bit her lip stepping even closer but holding tighter to the marker. Troy could feel the heat radiating off of her touching his skin like the warm sun.

"I'll…" Troy pulled on the maker but she wouldn't let go. He continued to pull, raising her arm higher and towards him. He thought that if he got it farther away her grip would slip. Troy had her arm stretched over his shoulder the marker still in between him when she suddenly released it and her hand fell on his shoulder.

Troy had to stop himself from pulling her roughly against her and kissing the shit out of her. He looked down at her and noticed that she was breathing just as hard as he was. Her chest was rising and falling quickly. Her lips were parted slightly and troy could feel her cool breath hit his shirt. She was so short…she was so cute.

He watched as her eyes left his and looked at her hand that was still on his shoulder. She took another step closer and their bodies were finally touching. Troy took this moment to close his eyes and control himself. He could feel himself tightening in his jeans and he prayed to god that she wouldn't feel it though he didn't think god would grant him any relaxation right now.

Troy gulped loudly and dropped the marker before reaching up and touching the hand on his shoulder. He had intended on moving it but when he touched her soft skin…he gave up. He rubbed her hand with his and he wondered if her whole body was as soft as this one hand.

She smiled softly as he felt her raise herself up on her tip toes. Troy's heart was beating so loud he wondered if she could hear it. His brain had completely shut down and all he wanted was to capture her lips. He didn't care anymore. Her body was pressed against his, they were touching…it was the least he could do.

Troy bent down fully intending on place his lips on hers before they heard a loud bellow. They jumped apart so quickly that Gabriella knocked into a music stand making it fall to the ground. Troy turned around quickly not wanting to meet her eyes. What the hell did he just do?

"Damn it." She said softly.

Troy looked up at the door to see a blonde hair guy rubbing his arm. Troy had seen him a few times around school, but didn't really know him since he had no classes with him.

"Mr. Bolton? Is Gabriella here…Oh there she is."

Troy looked down to see Gabriella still on the ground. Her eyes were wide as she looked at the blonde hair guy who made her way over to her to help her up.

"Kade?" she said squeakily, "what are you doing here? And what happened to you." She said noticing him rubbing his arm

"Clumsy…kinda tripped down the stairs. I waited for you at the staircase to walk you to lunch."

She finally stood up and turned her eyes on Troy. He sighed and swallowed hard.

"Oh well…Mr. Bolton was explaining something to me. I was kinda spacing during class."

"Well come on baby."

Baby? Troy looked at the two standing in front of him and realized that Kade's arm was around Gabriella's waste. She seemed to trying to shove it off but it didn't budge. He felt his stomach drop and he turned and looked away from them before zipping up his bag.

He couldn't believe that he was so stupid. He was actually getting ready to kiss a girl with a boyfriend and not only that, she was his fucking student! And who the hell was she to cheat on her boyfriend even if it was with him.

Troy pressed his mouth in a tight angry line before he started walking towards the door. "Shut the lights off when you're done, Miss. Montez."
