The Guy Next Door
Chapter 3
I went back inside and decided to bake some cookies. While the cookies were baking I went outside to water my plants. When I looked up over into the next yard I saw Troy attacking his punching back ferociously. It is something he did, other than shoot some hoops, when he was upset about something. I was lost in thought when I heard my timer go off in the kitchen signifying that the cookies were done. I quickly finished up in the yard and the then went inside to take the cookies out. Once they cooled I grabbed a few and put them on a plate then went over to Troy's. He was still in his backyard when I came over so I went up and stood a few feet behind him. "Hey neighbor" I said in a sweet voice with a smile. "Oh. Hey Gabriella, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Oh. No reason really. I had baked some cookies and when I saw you out here I thought you might of wanted a small snack after such an intense workout" I said in playful voice. He let out a small chuckle as he looked down and rubbed the back of his neck with one of his hands, making his muscular arm flex from the movement. I couldn't help but bite my lip and look down myself. I found it so hot when he did that. Troy broke the silence. "Always thinking" he smiled and took a cookie. "Mmm very delicious and it's my favorite kind to, chocolate chip. Thanks Gabriella" "My pleasure. I'm glad you like them" I said looking up and smiling back. "Well I will just leave the rest of these over on your table on the deck. Have a good rest of the night." I turned and started to leave when I heard "Wait!" I turned back around to see Troy jogging my way. "Um do mind if we could talk Gabriella? I have a lot on my mind and feel like venting a bit. See if it helps you know? But I don't want to talk with my parents and my best friend Chad is not exactly good at giving advice or at understanding certain things." I stood in shock. Troy Bolton wanted to open up and talk to me about his problems? That is a first. "Gabriella?" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Oh…sorry…um yeah sure we can talk" I said. "Great! Um how about we go inside…it's getting kind of chilly out" Troy said. "That sounds good to me." I replied.
We headed inside and his parents greeted me as I greeted them and then Troy led me up to his room. His bedroom was actually quite big and colorful. His walls were all red and he had a white fluffy carpet under my feet. He had a king sized bed with red and white bed sheets as well as a flat screen TV, a small white couch, a red dresser up against the wall by his door, and a white desk in the corner by his closet with a red laptop and red chair. It was all decked out in our school colors. "Someone has major school spirit." I thought to myself, but I guess you have to if you are captain of the school's favorite sports team. "Do you mind if I take a quick shower? I won't be long, I promise." Troy asked. "Yeah sure go right ahead." I replied. "Cool. Make yourself at home." With that he headed to his bathroom, which was also in his room, and took a shower. As he showered I looked around his bedroom a little more. I noticed he had a Play Station 3 and a bunch of games, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 was one of them. "Hmm I wonder how good he is at zombies I thought to myself with a smile. I love killing zombies in Black Ops 2 and I got better at it each and every day. I continued to look around and saw some pictures, some were of family, others were of friends, and then some were of Sharpay. I rolled my eyes. I continued my tour and found myself at his window. It was a very big window and I noticed something I had never noticed before. You can see right across into my bedroom window as my window is just as big. I looked closer. "Yep that is most definitely my room." I said to myself. Wow how had I never noticed before? It's kind of creepy if you think about it. Good thing I have curtains. Just then as I was thinking I heard a door open and turned around to see Troy coming out of his bathroom dripping wet in nothing but a towel. Water dripped down his body and over his muscular arms and his amazing abs. My breathing started to pick up and I started feeling light headed all of a sudden. Next thing I know I fainted.
