Here it is! Hope you like it.
Few days had past and Troy still hadn't figure out how he's going to tell his parents that he lied about the fact that he was dating a girl. He wanted to tell them the truth but couldn't bear to do it. He didn't want to his mother's hopes up but he didn't want to disappoint her either. His dad would be more than upset with him if he learns that he have been lying too. Who knew a little lie can be such a bug problem?
Troy had thought of plan to find a girl that would agree to be his fake girlfriend but what girl on her right mind would want to agree to that? Unless she owes him a favour.
That was his plant right there. But he doesn't know any girl that owes him any types of favour. He hasn't been dating much since he started working. He's been so committed to his job that he put dating on hold.
Usually with a dilemma, Troy would make his way to his favourite café right across the street of his apartment building to clear his mind. Drinking the café's popular coffee helps him think usually when he is trying to write a song.
After taking a sip of the coffee, he tried to think. It was really hard considering the people coming in and out of the café and the amount of noise people were making. Ok, I need a sign to solve my problem. Just one sign. Come on brain. THINK!
His thought were completely interrupted by someone who ironically landed on his lap. Troy glanced at the girl on his lap with a shocked and confused look. He noticed that she looked as shocked as he was.
"I'm so sorry. I was in a rush," she said but she was still on his lap. When she realised she still was, she quickly got up and gathered her stuff on the ground.
"It's cool. This café is kind of small and people usually bumped into strangers all the time," Troy said.
The girl smiled, "I wouldn't know considering that I have never been into this place before."
"Then why are you here?" he asked.
"My boss had me go on a coffee run because he hates my guts," she explained sarcastically.
"Bosses can be such morons sometimes," Troy agreed.
"Tell me about it," she responded.
Troy took the moment of silent to look at her. She had nice brown eyes and beautiful long black hair which she tied up in a ponytail. By the way she dresses, it seems that she works somewhere in the business world. The world which Troy hated. Troy also noticed that she's very good-looking too. He wished he knew what she was thinking about. Maybe I should ask her out sometime. Troy thought.
"So," Troy started. "What's-" Before Troy could ask, the girl interrupted him.
"I have to go now. Someone's got to order those coffees. I'll see you around," the girl said as she walked towards the counter.
Troy sat back down as she left him without finishing his sentence. Maybe he was losing his touch with girls. Normally girls would be easily attracted to Troy. As he watched the girl leaving, he felt something below his foot. He looked under the table and saw a book. Troy opened the book to see if the owner's name was inside but there wasn't. There were only some sketches of women in white dresses.
Then Troy realised that maybe the book belonged to the girl that bumped into him. He almost got up from his seat to chase after her to hive her back her book but there was no use. He didn't know where she worked at and what her name is even. Troy could only hoped that she would come back to reclaim her book.
Then it hit Troy. This was the sign. His plan started to form in his head. Firstly, Troy would come back to the café again tomorrow and see if she comes back. When she does, Troy would give back the book and then she would have to do him a favour. Like being his fake girlfriend for example. This plan is working smoothly. All that's left is for the girl to come back then Troy's dilemma will be gone.

After a very long day at work, Gabriella opened her apartment door and threw her handbag to the nearest chair and lay on the couch. Today was definitely not her day at all. First she overslept and her boss had a fit about it and told her to make copies of ten different documents and then he made her to go to this café blocks away from the office to fetch him coffee for himself and some of his workers. After getting the coffees, it took her half an hour to get a cab and by the time she reached the office, the coffees turned cold so she had to go to the kitchen and heat it.
The only good thing happened to her was when she met the nice guy at the café. Maybe it was embarrassing falling into his lap but he didn't make a big deal out of it. In fact, he made her feel better. She was sure that he was thinking of asking her out by the way he was looking at her but she didn't want to be dating some guy right now. Her main focus now is her future career being a wedding dress designer.
Not a moment later, her roommate entered the living room and saw Gabriella lying on the couch with a pillow to her face.
"Whoa, are you okay?" Sharpay asked.
"No. I'm too tired. I hate my job. I hate my life," Gabriella said as she threw the pillow to Sharpay.
"Ok, I get it that you're unhappy but that doesn't mean that you can just throw my favourite pillow to my face," Sharpay said.
"Sorry," Gabriella apologised as she sat up. "I'm just so tired of this. All I want is to be a designer. Not be doing coffee runs for my stupid boss who wants coffee that is like a hundred blocks away from where I work."
"That sucks," Sharpay said as she sat down beside her and turned on the TV.
Gabriella stared at her friend weirdly. "I thought you were here to check if I was okay?"
"I never said that? I just asked if you were okay. I came out here to watch TV. Grey's Anatomy is on right now," Sharpay said simply.
Gabriella rolled her eyes and got up to search for her sketchbook, "I don't get you. Grey's Anatomy isn't that popular anymore."
"Bite your tongue! Yes they are. They're just losing their audience to Glee."
"Oh no!"
"Exactly! Sometimes I wonder why people prefer Glee so much. They are just a bunch of high school kids with normal problems. Big deal," Sharpay said without paying the slightest attention to Gabriella.
"Not that! I can't find my sketchbook!" Gabriella said.
"Maybe you left it at work," Sharpay said.
"No way. I put it right in my bag," Gabriella said
"Maybe you bummed into someone and it dropped?" Sharpay asked.
Then Gabriella remembered. When she fell on that guy's lap, her things from her bags did dropped but she didn't thought about her book. "Oh my gosh! I left it at the café at Orchid Drive."
"But that's like a gazzilion miles away," Sharpay said. "By the time you reach there now, they're probably closed."
"I would have to go tomorrow then. Thank god tomorrow's Saturday," Gabriella said.
"Yeah, yeah. Good thing. Now be quiet. It starting," Sharpay said. Gabriella glared at Sharpay and threw another pillow her head and walked off.
Maybe you're wondering why i didn't have them have the 'love in first sight' moment. That is because i think it's just too common. Not everyone gets 'love in first sight' moments too often but i am so not against it. I'm just trying something new that's all. I hope you like it.
