''Pretty flower.'' I smiled, looking at the white rose that lay in troy's hand.

Troy turned around, ''Hey, Um.. Gabriella. right?'' He smiled.

''What a guess. you remembered my name, impressive.'' I giggled, sliding onto the seat next to him. ''So, who's the white rose for?''

White roses we're my favorite. they seem to go with everything and symbolizes purity. they're a unique kind of beautiful.

Troy looked down at the white rose, snapping out of the moment. ''Oh. It was uh, supposed to be for Amber, my girlfriend. but she hates roses so looks like I'll be returning this later.''

''Well, erm.. mind if I have it? white roses are my favorite and it'd be a shame for you to return it.'' I looked up at him, playing with my fingers in my lap.

Troy chuckled, ''Sure.'' He grabbed it and handed it to me.

''Thanks.'' I toke the flower from Troy. I could feel myself blush a little as I looked into Troy's sparkling ocean blue eyes, I tried to catch my breath. His tanned skin and rosey coloured cheeks we're making my heart slowly melt. I bit my bottom lip, pulling myself back to reality and shaking my thoughts to the back of my mind.

The moment was quickly ruined as I watched Amber practically throw herself into Troy's lap, showering him with passionate kisses and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her, giving him a gentle cuddle. I felt awkward as I watched, was I invisible? she did'nt even acknowledge that I was even there. or maybe she wanted to make it clear that he was hers. I looked at Troy as Amber gave him a kiss on his neck, he looked quite uncomfortable and pushed her away. I sighed in relief, thankful that I did'nt have to spend another minute watching her practically trying to fuck him.

''Babe, This Is Gabby.'' Troy nodded in my direction, at me.

I finally got a look at Amber as she turned to me and smiled coldly at me. She was blonde, thin, tall, tanned. The typical california girl.

I held my hand out, forcing a smile upon my face. ''Hi.'' I said shyly.

She looked at me up and down. ''Er, hi?'' She rolled her eyes, turning back to Troy and placing her both hands on each sides of his neck. ''Can we please go now baby? I don't feel so good..'' She pouted and put her head on his shoulder.

Troy stroked Amber's hair, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket and held it out for me to take. ''Of course, babe.'' He smiled at me and headed in the oppisite direction with Amber wrapped in his arms.

I watched them leave and unfolded the piece of paper, i felt a smile appear on my face as i looked at the number written on the scrunched up piece of paper. His number.
I beamed in excitement. I brought the white rose closer to me, taking in the scent. That special and rare smell. I placed it on the table beside me. I sighed to myself. Troy was the only thing on mind and truthfully, has been ever since i first met him.

Saturday morning. I woke up stretching my arms out. my loud and effortless yawn echoed down the hallway. I smiled as i rolled over onto my side. My bedroom window was unlocked and wide open. I could hear kids playing and laughing outside in the streets, screaming and yelling at the top of there lungs. It did'nt bother me. I was used to all the noise. I brought myself up off the sheets, placing both of my legs at the side of my bed. instantly, i could feel the warm summer breeze fill the room. I grabbed my cream cardigan, wrapping myself up in it. I walked over to the window ledge, looking out at the crowds of people in the streets. Some we're in a rush to get to somewhere, some we're arguing, some we're giggling and messing about, some we're sat on the sidewalks making music, others we're enjoying this beautiful scorching summers day.

Time for my morning run, i thought to myself as i turned around and walked over to my wardrobe. I opened it. I found some sweatpants and a strap top finishing with a baggy hoodie. I quickly threw the clothes on and pulled my hair out of my face, tying it into a messy bun. One last thing to do. I headed into the bathroom and splashed my face with freezing cold water, drying it with a towel afterwards. I grabbed my water bottle and headed downstaires, leaving the house.

I headed into the woods and started to jog down the path as I did every morning In my spare time. I pushed my earphones into my ears and scrolled through songs on my ipod until I found my current favorite one, I finally found it ''Unwritten'' by Natasha Bedingfield. It was such an uplifting happy song that could easily put me in a better mood. I carried on running as thoughts ran through my mind of the previous night until i could feel myself fall backwards and hit the ground.

''Oh shit! I'm sorry about that! I should of been watching we're.. Gabriella?'' Troy looked down at me.

I laughed. ''Wow, if I did'nt know any better i'd say you were stalking me mister.'' I smirked at him.

he chuckled and toke her hand that she put out for him to take, pulling her off the dirty ground. ''Sounds like a fun job but I'm pretty sure I have a billion other things to do with my time.'' He winked at her, laughing slightly.

''Oh yeah? like what? like fucking amber?''

''Wow.'' Troy seemed surprised by her reply. ''I was actually gunna say like playing basketball and hanging out with the boys but hey, what you said is fun too, can't complain about that.'' he grinned.

''That's so interesting, do you love going around talking about your sex life or was I just the lucky one?'' I sarcastically replied, feeling uncomfortable.

''Maybe even the lucky one to have a part in my sex life.'' he teased, chuckling.

''Mhmmmmmmmmm. Oh how I'm so looking forward to that!'' I joked. ''just tell me what time, were and when baby.'' I rolled my eyes, playfully.

''Nah, i'm no cheater but thanks for the offer of a good time.''

There was an awkward silence as we headed down the path that leads to the open road, all I could hear was the water running down the river and the sound of little birds squeaking and whisiling. I smiled to myself. It was quite refreshing for me as I remember being little when I loved nature and being outdoors but ever since things changed i would spend all my time in my room, hid away from the rest of the world. I turned my head slightly to my right were Troy was only to find him staring right at me which made me blush a little and look ahead.

''Sorry, am I making you feel uncomfortable? It's just, i've never noticed how beautiful you are.'' Troy kept his eyes on me.

I giggled, shaking my head. ''I'm sorry, that's really nice of you to say but beautiful? I think your mistaking me for someone who's tanned, skinny and blonde like uhm i don't know.. Amber. Thankyou for the compliment anyways.''

''Yeah, Amber's gorgeous. She's most guys ideal of perfect and I'm sure alot of guys would want her for that but You, you have everything. Amber, she has an amazing body and she's a party girl, she's wild, she's all about having fun but I'm not sure if i want that. I'm pretty sure she's slept with half of the school's football team and half of my friends..'' Troy sighed.

''So why are you with her?''

''I guess my reputation was something that was important to me. It's normal, no. It's expected for the basketball captian and the head cheerleader to be a couple and I guess at first, she did fool me with her flirty ways and her charm. i was in love with her.''

I smiled weakly, playing with my fingers. ''Is it crazy of me to say that I kind of always wanted a relationship like yours and Ambers? cause I do or well, I did. it's like you guys always seem so in love when your together.''

''A little because me and Amber go through more shit than you could imagine. It's tiring me out and that's why I'm thinking about breaking up with her.''

''but what about your reputation? uhm, not that it should come before your happiness i just thought it came first for you..'' I mumbled.

''My reputation becomes less important each time that I see you.''

''What are you trying to say, Troy?'' I asked in confusion.

''I know that we've only known each other for a few weeks but it's like every time I see you, I like you more and more and everytime I'm around you, everything's fine. You bring a sparkle to everything and I wanna be with you, Gabriella.''

I smiled softly and without even thinking, I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around Troy's neck and pressing my lips against his.

''YOU FUCKING ANOREXIC SLUT!''
