Gabriella gathered all her things together in her bag. She put her short tight navy dress smiling at her confident body. She zoned into a scar on he chest though, looking at the bumpy structure. She frowned grabbing her makeup kit, grabbing her expensive primer placing it gently on her scar. She also took her foundation and applied it over the primer. She rid the scar a bit only seeing the mass there. There was a knock on her apartment door. She grabbed her things and ran over to the door seeing Troy stand there. She smiled seeing him stand there with a confident smile. He was wearing a black jacket, underneath a heather grey suit with a white button up under it. She smirked at him.

"Hi." She said with a smile biting her lip then letting go. He kept his five o'clock shadow making her swoon.

"Hey." He replied with a smirk. "You ready?" He asked extending a hand. She smiled taking it. "Sharpay and Luke are meeting us there and Chad and whoever he's bringing will be there." He said as they walked down the stairs. She smirked putting her jacket.

"Is this a triple date?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him with a smile still on her face. He tensed chuckling.

"Noooo, what makes you think that?" He asked her as they left the apartment building they began walking down the block to get a taxi. She shivered feeling the cold air breeze through.

"Oh nothing." She said sing songy as they walked down the way. He laughed at her. She giggled back as he fought the urge to hold her hand. They caught a taxi and went down to navy pier for the celebration in the crystal gardens. They walked in seeing the decorations, open bars and the dance floor. She smiled looking around.

"This is amazing...How did we score this!?" She asked looking around.

"When you know a guy, it makes your life so much easier." He chuckled to himself taking her jacket off and handing it over to coat check. He held his hand out, bringing them to the dance floor with many other adults dancing. Johnny Be Good was playing having many people do swing dancing. He held her close when slow dances came on, and even danced to younger music tastefully.

When Sharpay and Luke were they, they all sat down and ate at the tables, enjoying a few drinkers here and there. Chad ended up not making it since he was going to another party downtown with some white soxs players. After they ate and danced a little more, Troy and Gabriella stepped outside to catch some fresh air looking out at the pier.

"You know this is my first year that I haven't been in time square for new years eve" He said looking at her. She dropped her jaw.

"I've never even been to New York." She said laughing to herself. He lent down kissing her softly.

"You will be coming with soon." He said kissing her cheek.

"I mean I've always wanted to do that on New Years Eve." She said feeling his hot breath on her cheek from snickering.

"One day I'll take you." He said kissing her again softly. She kissed back, but pulling away when she heard the countdown. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back inside where the countdown. Waiters were walking around with flutes of champange

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"7!"

"6!"

"5"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" The crowd cheered and she cheered lifting her glass taking a sip, turning around to see her gorgeous man standing next to her.

"I'm going to kiss you now." Taken by his comment he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her softly. She closed her eyes giving into the kiss, as he rested his hand on her cheek pulling him in, deepening their lock. Still trying to register one of the best New Years kiss, her ears filled with Some Nights by FUN. He pulled her body into his and she allowed him. They pulled back briefly but her lips attached to his again. Sharpay looked over and saw her brunette best friend making out with a stranger. She raised an eye brow, looking at the scene narrowing in and seeing it was Troy. He pulled back looking at her.

"Happy new year" He said pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

"Happy new year!" She giggled.

"Fireworks are about to begin everyone!" The DJ announced.

He held her hand this time and she actually held back as they walked down Navy Pier. He really didn't care if Sharpay or anyone else saw them holding hands. He threw his jacket on her shoulders as they walked outside. The firework show was about to begin, they hurried to the pier seeing everyone line up. As soon as they got there, the show began. Luke immediately grabbed Sharpay and put his arms around her waist, bringing her to him. Troy noted the display of affection as he looked at Gabriella play with their fingers.

She kept releasing and bringing them together. He smiled letting go completely and wrapping his arms around her waist. She hesitated a little, placing her hands on his and snuggling into him. He felt so comfortable with this, never feeling like this with Renée. The fire works lit up the sky, as he saw a smile on the brunette. She turned around, looked at him and smiled up at him. He smiled at her, looking up when she rested his head on her chest. He looked down only to have her lips reach his. She kissed him softly, him kissing back in result.

He deepened the kiss, opening her mouth a little wider and bringing her face closer. He heard fireworks over his head as he kissed this beautiful brunette in front of him. She wrapped her hands around his waist, slipping her cold hands into his shirt and feeling his stomach. He brought her closer trying to resist roaming his hands everywhere on her body. She pulled back looking into his eyes trying to figure out why this was happening in public when no one knew. He looked into her soft brown eyes full of lust. She released herself, walking to Sharpay, whispering in her ear. Gabriella walked back to Troy grabbing his hand, pulling him away. He only agreed following he as she dragged him.

He pressed her against her apartment door kissing on her neck. Her hands slipped into his dressy pants feeling his rounded butt. He turned her, lifting her and resting her on the couch. He kissed her as he climbed on top of her, resting comfortably in between her legs. He slowly zipped her dress off, taking it off as he kissed down to her core. Goosebumps erupted all over her skin as she let out a soft quite moan. He felt his erection twitch, needing to feel her. She let her hands roam to his belt undoing it, slipping his bottoms off leaving him in his under armour under wear. She threw him on his back, straddling his waist as he looked in her eyes. She gave him a feline smile and kissed down his stomach, slipping his underwear down and taking him in her mouth. He threw his head back groaning at how quick she did that. She added her hand giving him more pleasure.

"Gabriella." He moaned. "Oh god." He said closing his eyes and seeing stars. She swirled her tounge around his tip as he moaned an called her name. She released herself looking up at him with a feline smiled as she bent down again taking him in her mouth bringing her head up and down slowly, sucking him with all her might. He moaned again as she let go and licked his tip gently. She went back to her actions making him release himself inside her mouth as she swallowed looking up at him with a smile.

She just gave him the most cosmic blow job he's ever received. He pulled her up to him kissing her roughly. This time he flipped her over removing her underwear roughly. She was turned on completely by this. He lifted her hips, slipping two fingers into her folds. She moaned immediately. Two can play that game he thought. He pumped his fingers, bringing his thumb to rub her sensitive clit. She moaned again making Troy reach up and kiss her. She kissed back moaning in his mouth. He groaned.

"Moan in my mouth again." He asked huskily as he pumped her quicker. His lips attached to hers when she quickly removed her mouth again. She moaned loudly this time, squeezing her eyes shut. Troy began kissing her neck, sucking under her jaw line. She cried out his name one last time as she clenched his fingers. He slowly pulled them out, climbing on her again attaching their lips again, but softer. He kissed her deeper until he heard the door being knocked on. They both pulled apart.

"Gabriella." Sharpay shouted. She looked at the door feeling Troy on top of her. She blinked realizing what she had done. He sat up sighing.

"Oh god..." She said looking at him. She was so caught up in her bubble to realize what she was doing with him. He looked down and saw her face. He lent down and kissed her softly. She kissed back running her hand up his side. He pulled back making her pull him back down to her smiling.

"Don't worry, don't regret anything." he said looking into her eyes that were full of lust. Her deep brown eyes were golden and pure. He kissed her forehead, letting go. He gathered his clothes leaving to exit out the window. Gabriella slipped her dress on opening the door. Sharpay looked mad and saw her face. Gabriella threw herself away from the door walking off in a slink. Sharpay rolled her eyes.

"He's taken Gabriella." Sharpay said seeing her walk to her room. She kept walking as she looked over her shoulder smirking.

"That's what you think." She winked shutting the door.

Renee walked into the office smiling at Sharpay. Sharpay looked up at her feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her best friend cheated with her other best friend last night.

"Can we get coffee?" She asked. Sharpay bit her lip.

"Sure!" Sharpay said nervously. Renee smiled. They were sitting at a little bistro on Franklin. Renee was swirling the edge around her coffee cup. Sharpay felt nervous tension.

"So you know me and Troy broke up a week before Christmas." She started out. Sharpay went wide eyed. "And I was just thinking, I need to go back home."

"You think that's best?" She asked. Holy shit, around Christmas Eve/Christmas? Did Gabriella know? She panicked.

"I want to go home." She pulled out a piece of paper and passed it to her. Sharpay read over it seeing her resignation for this program.

"Okay...I'll just hand this in." Sharpay said looking up. Renee smiled.

"Great, I'm leaving today." She said standing up and walking out the door. Sharpay sucked all her air in grabbing her things and running down the street.

Gabriella frosted a cupcake with a soft smile on her face making Troy a batch. He was standing there doing total on how much she had to restock in the front. Sharpay barged in.

"GABRIELLA! TROY AND RENEE BROKE UP!" She screamed excitedly. Gabriella looked at him as he stood up looking at Sharpay. Gabriella and Sharpay both blushed, Sharpay more red.

"Yeah we broke up..." He said looking at Gabriella, she looked at him nodding. "I wanted to tell you." He said looking at Sharpay.

"It's okay..." She said feeling awkward. "When?"

"A week before Christmas." He said handing over the list to Gabriella.

"We didn't want to tell you because we didn't want her thinking it was all about me." Gabriella said. Sharpay took a seat in the chair.

"So was it your doing?" Gabriella giggled.

"No, me and her weren't getting along and well...Gabriella kinda opened my eyes about the whole situation." She smiled giving him a cupcake. He smiled at her.

"So are you guys dating?" Sharpay asked recieving the cupcake Gabriella gave her. The two exchanged a look.

"We're trying to take it slow..." He said winking at her. Sharpay groaned throwing her head back.

"I can't handle all this suspense in one day." She said annoyed. Troy and Gabriella just laughed.

HI GUYS. Sorry, I've been extremely busy with college! It's a whole new world out there. Anyways, please tell me how you are all doing!
