Heey everyone, I'm really sorry for the delay, but it's really not going well with my grandmother, so I haven't been able to really concentrate on the story. I hope you all understand. I want to thank everyone for their reviews, they're very motivating me to continue writing.

Sharpay, Taylor and Gabby were walking through the mall. They were all laughing and having fun, except for Gabby. She was very quiet and both Taylor and Sharpay noticed.

'Hey Gabs, are you okay?' Sharpay suddenly asked.

Gabby looked up, looking like she had just woken up from a trance, and said: 'Huh…what?'

'I asked if you were okay,' Sharpay answered, looking worriedly at Gabby.

'Yeah, of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?'

'Well you've been very quiet,' Taylor answered before Sharpay could say anything.

'No, I'm fine, I'm just very tired. You know, with Tr.. Bolton at home and everything,' Gabby said, quickly correcting herself, when she wanted to say Troy instead of Bolton.

'If you say so..' Sharpay said, still looking at her worriedly.

Suddenly Sharpay's phone rang and she quickly answered, 'Hello?'.

'Hey Sharpay, its Troy, please don't hang up… I really need to talk to you,' Troy's voice sounded through the phone, 'Can you walk away from the others so that Gabby won't know that you're talking to me?'

Sharpay walked away, mouthing to the others that she had to take this phone-call, 'Okay, I'm alone, now can you tell me why you're calling me?'

'Didn't Gabby tell you about what happened this morning?' Troy asked, sounding surprised.

Sharpay looked at Gabby, 'No, but she has been acting weirdly..'

'She acted different?' Troy asked, suddenly sounding hopeful.

'Why is that important to you?' Sharpay asked suspiciously.

'I really don't want to say that on the phone, do you think you can come over?'

'Ehm..' Sharpay said, sounding doubtfully.

'Please, it's really important, I swear..' Troy said desperately.

'Okay fine, I'll be there in 15 minutes,'

'Thanks Sharpay,'

'Yeah, yeah, see ya!' Sharpay answered, hanging up. She walked back to the other girls and said, 'I'm really sorry, but I have to go, but you guys have a great shopping trip and when I come over tonight I expect to see allot of clothes!'

'Wait, why do you suddenly have to go, you're the one who invited us all to this shopping trip,' Taylor said.

'Yeah, well, emergency at home, so I'm really sorry, but next time I'll be there, promised,' Sharpay said, wanting to get away.

'Okay, well good luck then, and just come over mine tonight, I think Gabby would appreciate being away from Bolton just a bit longer,' Taylor answered with a smile.

Gabby looked at Taylor with a smile and said: 'Thanks Tay, really appreciated.'

Sharpay smiled, agreed to come to Taylor's that night and walked away.

--

Troy said at home, waiting nervously for Sharpay. He wondered if she was going to be willing to help him win Gabby over.

Suddenly the door opened and he heard Sharpay's voice saying: 'Troy? Where are you?'

'I'm in the kitchen!' Troy answered. He saw Sharpay entering and asked: 'Do you want something to drink?'

'Yeah, that would be nice, seeing it's thanks to you I'm missing my shopping trip,' She answered, sitting down at the island in the middle of the room.

Troy grabbed two cokes and gave one to Sharpay, 'I know you don't want to be here, but it's really important to me. By the way you have to swear you won't tell Gabby anything that is said in here.'

'And why would I swear that, she's my best friend, we don't have secrets,' Sharpay answered a bit mad.

'Oh really, so you told Gabby what you and Zeke did last night?' Troy asked looking at her knowingly.

Sharpay looked shocked, 'What.. how.. I mean… who told you that we did?'

Troy suddenly started laughing, 'Nobody, I was just making a joke, but apparently you guys did do something,'

'You can't tell Gabby, you really can't. She'll never accept the fact that I made a slip with the enemy and everything,' Sharpay asked pleadingly .

'A slip?'Troy asked, 'Are you being serious? Don't you know Zeke has been crazy about you for ages?'

Sharpay looked at him with a sad look in her eyes, 'That's really nice Troy, but you don't have to say that just because it's obvious I like him.'

'I'm not saying it because of that, I'm saying it because it's true!'

Sharpay looked at Troy, suddenly with hope on her face, 'Really?'

'Yeah, I'm really not as mean as you think I am, I am the only one who knew about Zeke liking you and I always encouraged him to do something with it. I never thought that just because I have a bad relationship everyone around us should have that too.'

Sharpay smiled at him, 'you're really not that bad Troy, but why did you need me to come here?'

'I need your help,'Troy answered, 'it's about Gabby, about what happened this morning,'

'Yeah, about that.. what happened this morning?'Sharpay asked.

'We kissed… well more like made out,'Troy answered, getting a smile on his face.

Sharpay screamed, 'YOU KISSED?!'

'Well like I said, it was more like making out,' Troy answered.

'YOU MADE OUT, OH MY GOD!! I'M HER BEST FRIEND WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME?'

'Sharpay calm down, think about it, Gabby is so serious about this whole enemy thing and now she made out with her worst enemy, don't you think that's a bit confusing, plus you didn't tell her you kissed Zeke.' Troy said, calming Sharpay down immediately.

'You're right,' she said, 'But when did you get so understanding about Gabby? And since when did you start calling her Gabby?'

'Sharpay, no offence or anything, but I have been calling her Gabby since our phone call.'

Sharpay blushed, 'yeah, well I was occupied.'

'Of course you were, 'Troy answered laughing.

'But why do you need my help with that, I always thought you had no problem with kissing girls and finding out what they like and everything. I'm sure you have already figured out where Gabby's sweet spot is and that she can't resist you biting her ear softly and..'

'Wow, wait, what was that last thing?'

'She can't resist it when she is softly bitten in the ear,' Sharpay repeated, 'but you already knew that right?'

'No, I never thought Gabby to be a girl who likes that, but thanks,' he answered.

Sharpay looked at him angry, 'you won't use that so you can get what you want, right?'

Troy looked at her, 'That's not why I asked your help Sharpay.'

'Then why did you? Why do you need my help anyway, can't you manage on your own.'

'It's not that easy, honestly Sharpay, she doesn't want me! After we kissed she looked so relieved that you called and she just ran away,' Troy answered, sounding sad.

Sharpay looked at him and she suddenly saw that he was serious about this, with any other girl he probably wouldn't even have cared if she walked away, but with Gabby he was truly hurt she didn't want to be with him, 'This isn't one of your games you're so famous about, right? You won't hurt her?' she asked just to be sure.

'No, of course not, honestly Sharpay.. I would do anything just to have her up there with me in that bed at night, and not to have sex like you think I want to,' he said when he saw the reaction Sharpay was gonna give, 'but because I wanna be able to hear her sleep, to have her in my arms while I sleep and to just be near her,' he finished.

'well in that case I'll be happy to help you win her over,' Sharpay answered with a smile.

Troy looked at her and smiled, 'thanks and about Zeke, talk to him tonight, I'm sure you two will make a great couple.'

'I will, and I hope so too because I really like him. But now to business, I think I should come over every once in a while so that we can talk, and you're gonna have to call me when something special happened.'

Troy nodded, thinking about a few things himself, 'yeah, maybe we can involve Zeke in this too, that way we'll have his opinion and we can talk about things at your place.'

'That's a great idea and I think Zeke could really help, I'll talk about it tonight,' Sharpay started.

'No, not tonight,' Troy interrupted, 'Tonight you and Zeke have to talk about what you two are gonna do.'

Sharpay smiled at him and said: 'Okay, maybe we can tell him about it this weekend, you can come over when Gabby is going to Taylor,'

'Yeah sure, but now I think you have to go, seeing as Gabby will come home soon enough with Rose,'

'Yeah, you're right,' Sharpay answered while standing up and walking over to the door, she turned around and said, 'You and Gabby would make a great couple by the way, you're really adorable together,'

Troy smiled and looked at her as she walked away.

--

Gabby and Taylor were walking through the mall. Sharpay had just walked away and they were looking around to see the shops they would want to see.

'So Gabby, how is it going with Bolton?' Taylor asked.

'Well it's going exactly as I had expected it to be going, terrible. He's just so annoying and he only thinks about himself, he made me sleep on the couch last night!' Gabby answered.

'He made you sleep on the couch!?' Taylor asked surprised.

'Well.. I mean.. not exactly..' Gabby started, 'I told him I wasn't gonna sleep in one bed with him and he said: well feel free to take the couch.'

Taylor looked at Gabby, 'Gabs, I know you're not gonna like what I'm about to say, but he had every right to sleep in that bed. You both have the right to sleep in that bed, but when you don't want to, he doesn't have to take the couch, seeing as you're the one with the problem.'

Gabby looked at Taylor, 'Wait a minute, are you saying that you slept in the same bed as Danforth last night?'

Taylor blushed, 'Yeah, I wasn't going to sleep on the couch, ' she started, 'I wasn't giving him that satisfaction,'

Gabby sighed, 'I know what I did was stupid and everything, I just never expected that from you, you always and I mean always complain about Danforth,'

They walked into a store and looked through the clothes, trying to find some nice ones.

'I don't always complain about him, Chad really isn't that bad,' Taylor gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

Gabby gasped, 'Chad? It seem to me that you like him more than you let on,' she smiled, 'don't think I would be mad if you did or anything,'

Taylor put her hand away, 'You won't get mad? I always thought you wanted us to hate them all and everything.'

'I have to say, it was allot easier when you hated them, but I think you should decide for yourself who you like and who you don't. I think it's great when you and Chad like each other, but it won't make me stop hating Troy.' Gabby answered, not noticing she used Troy instead of Bolton.

'You didn't use his last name,' Taylor said astonished.

'I'm not gonna use his last name when he's your boyfriend Taylor, I'm not that bad,'

'No I didn't mean Chad, and he's not my boyfriend by the way, I meant that you said Troy instead of your usual Bolton,'

Gabby looked at her, 'It was just because I said Chad instead of Danforth, so I automatically said Troy instead of Bolton.'

Taylor looked at her doubtfully, 'if you say so hun, but don't be afraid to change your feelings about him just because they have been the same for so long.'

Gabriella nodded, 'of course, but they won't change,'

'Again if you say so.' Taylor answered.

--

Troy sat in front of the TV, watching MTV.

The door opened and Gabriella and Rose walked in, 'Twoy?!' Rose yelled.

'Yeah, I'm right here Rose,' Troy answered, smiling when he heard her say his name wrong and when he saw her entering with Gabby right behind her, 'So did you have fun at school today?' he asked when he had pulled her up and put her on his lap.

Rose nodded, 'yeah, I made allot of friends and Gabby said they could come over sometime,'

Troy nodded, 'yeah sure, hey why don't you go up your room putting your school bag in his place,'

Rose nodded enthusiastically and jumped of his lap to ran to the stairs.

Troy looked at Gabby with a grin on his face, ' Do you want to sit on my lap too?'

She looked at him and he could've sworn he saw a smile on her face, 'No thank you, by the way I'm going over to Taylor tonight,'

'Gabby, you can't run away from me forever, we have to talk.'

She looked at him with a look he couldn't place, 'Why Troy, why do we have to talk, what happened this morning shouldn't have happened, I shouldn't have let you do something so stupid. '

He felt like his heart was being ripped out, 'do something so stupid? It seems to me you enjoyed it.'

'I didn't enjoy it Troy,' Gabby answered, not looking him in the eyes. She hadn't noticed Troy getting up and moving over to her so when she looked at him she was shocked to find him near to her. On kissing distance, she thought with a shock.

'You did enjoy it, you moaned, I heard you and ever since you haven't been able to look into my eyes because you didn't want to enjoy it, but you did,' he finished and he suddenly got closer to her.

'Troy, what are you doing?' Gabby asked softly.

'Kissing your neck,' Troy answered just as softly, and he began kissing her neck.

Gabby gasped when he right away kissed the right spot. She couldn't help but moan again, she tried to push him away, wanting nothing more than to push away the feelings she was feeling right now.

He noticed she wanted to get away and moved his kisses up slowly, when he was near her ear, he softly bit it.

She gasped, oh god, he does that so well, better then how the other guys did it, damn him for being so good at kissing, she thought.

He went back at kissing her neck, feeling her resistance slipping away and he began sucking on her sweet spot.

She moaned again, 'God you really know how to hit the right spot don't you,'

He grinned against her neck, 'You know I do baby,'

He kept sucking for a little while when Gabby suddenly softly said: 'Troy, you have to stop.'

'Why? You're enjoying it, I'm enjoying it, no reason to stop,'

'Rose is upstairs and I'm pretty sure she'll be coming down soon and I don't want her to find us like this,'

Troy stopped, knowing she was right. He felt her get away, while he kept his eyes closed. He heard tiny footsteps on the stairs and heard a soft voice ask, 'Twoy, you okay?' He opened his eyes and first looked at Rose and after that at Gabby with a longing look in his eyes, 'yeah Rose, I'm fine.'

'Why don't you go to the kitchen Rose, I'll be there in a second to get you dinner ready,' Gabby said, leading her to the kitchen, she turned around and looked at Troy. She opened her mouth to say something, but then changed her mind, turned around again and walked to the kitchen.
