OMG look I'm updating! I'm really sorry for the LOOOOOONG wait, to those of you who are still reading this I haven't abandoned it and I will be updating the last few chapters quickly from now on.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed / favourited so far I really appreciate it.

Now let the story continue

The next day at school was very awkward for the new couple. As they were waking through the corridors Troy had his arm around Gabriella's waist and everyone was staring at them. They ignored them and went into the cafeteria and sat down. Just then Troy's friends came over and Chad said with a large grin:

"Well it's about time Bolton!"

Troy blushed and all of the team laughed including Gabriella who gave a quiet giggle and squeezed his hand reassuring him. Troy turned and smiled at Gabriella and pecked her cheek lightly. Gabriella laughed and the rest of the team rolled their eyes and sat down.

Then Taylor and the girls came over along with Ryan.

"What do you want Evans!" snarled Chad.

"If it has anything to do with Sharpay, then I'm not interested" Troy added.

"Whoa there! No need to worry; Sharpay and I aren't exactly on speaking terms at the minute. Besides I'm just here to have lunch with my girl" he smiled putting his arm around Kelsi and kissing her on the cheek.

Chad's frown went from a scowl to a grin. "Well in that case why don't you lovely ladies join us." he said grinning at Taylor who giggled at his expression.

The girls and Ryan all sat down. Martha started flirting with Zeke whilst Ryan and Kelsi were talking.

Troy turned to Gabriella and said:

"Well at least we don't have to worry about our friends not getting along."

Gabriella giggled and kissed him passionately then they started making out. Taylor heard this and turned around staring at them thinking "finally".

"You know for a chemistry geek, you're really hot" Chad grinned at her.

Taylor turned to him, giggled and replied

"Why thank you. You're not too bad yourself, for a basketball guy."

Chad grinned at her and said "wanna make out?"

"Love to." Taylor replied then kissed him.

Everyone was watching as this big group of people; all from different cliques were laughing and joking together and many of them thought to themselves

"if they can do it, why not us?"

Then everyone began to mingle.

Meanwhile back at the lunch table Troy and Gabriella were still making out when suddenly Gabriella pulled back and said;

"Troy, what's gonna happen when your dad fins out that you broke up with Sharpay?"

"Don't know, Don't care. As long as I've got you I'm Okay."

Gabriella giggled and pecked his lips.

"Corny much?"

Troy laughed and pecked her cheek.

Suddenly a hand tapped Troy's shoulder. He turned around to find his dad standing behind him and he was not happy! Troy gulped. Then his dad's frown turned into a smile.

"I'm proud of you son." he smiled

"Thanks dad" Troy smiled back.

"Besides it's about time." he grinned causing Troy to blush and Gabriella to giggle softly.

His dad then turned and walked away.

Well there you have it. I hope you liked and I would love to hear your thoughts. (hint hint)

Ta ra for now

Danielle.
