Eventually Troy and Gabriella separated. They glanced around again; reassuring themselves that no one was watching and quickly disappeared offstage to continue in privacy. Kelsi watched her two friends sneak virtually unnoticed off the stage and smiled to herself, remembering the first time she'd seen them together, singing 'What I've Been Looking For'.

"Hey, Kelsi?" Jason asked, and she jumped as she saw he was sitting on the edge of the stage near her.

"Hmm?" she answered, still distracted by the fact that he hadn't gone off to dance with the cheerleaders and had waited for her instead.

"Do… do you… wanna… dance, maybe?" he stammered. Kelsi was silent for a moment, but then nodded quickly and took the hand that he offered towards her. They both looked around for a second, waiting for someone to start the music again. Glancing at the stereo that was connected to the sound system, Kelsi had to resist laughing as she saw Taylor and Chad leaning against it, their lips locked together. Jason looked confusedly at his friend and the girl he was with.

"Isn't that Gabriella's friend?" he asked Kelsi, who was smiling at the couple.

"Yeah, Taylor."

"Oh…" was all he could think of saying when he heard her tone.

Zeke sat silently on the bleachers, trying to not to scan the crowd for Sharpay.

"Zeke!" he heard a voice call and his head shot up. Ryan was waving at him from the middle of the room. He stood and slowly walked towards Ryan, who was motioning urgently.

"Hey, can you please just let Shar have one more of those cookies you baked? She's been complaining all afternoon and she won't talk to me cause I ate the last one." Zeke looked at Ryan for a second, waiting for him to start laughing or say "April Fools!" but he didn't.

"Yeah… sure, I have more in my bag," he offered and walked away.

"Zeke!" he turned around quickly to see Sharpay following him. "Did my brother just tell you that I've been begging for cookies, cause I so haven't been." Zeke shrugged and turned back towards his bag, fumbling through the contents until he found the plastic bag.

"Sure, but you can have these anyway, they're not hard to make." He quickly shoved the bag of cookies into Sharpay's hands and turned away again.

"Thanks." Sharpay said, just as Zeke began walking away. "At least there'll be some nice food here." Zeke shrugged again and watched as she walked back up to the bleachers, smiling slightly as he registered her compliment.

Chad pulled away suddenly as the music started.

"I didn't do it!" he said immediately as Taylor laughed.

"Yeah you did." She pointed at the switch that he'd just knocked with his elbow and continued laughing.

"That was not my fault!" he argued, trying to stop Taylor laughing.

"Your own actions are your own fault." Taylor said in a sing-song voice, backing away from the stereo as people began to turn, looking for who'd turned it on.

"Not if I'm caught up with you when I do them." Chad continued, annoyed at how everyone was staring at him and confused at what he'd just said. Taylor rolled her eyes.

"You have no idea what you just said." She pointed out, leaning against the wall.

"Yeah I do!" Chad tried to defend himself, but had already forgotten what he'd said. "I meant… that… you know what I mean!"

"No, I don't." Taylor turned and walked towards the trestles laden with food, leaving Chad to try and figure out what he'd just said.

"Where're we going?" Gabriella asked Troy as he pulled her down the deserted hallway.

"You'll see," he answered without looking at her.

"Troy!" she began, but stopped when she heard a voice from around the corner. Troy stopped and glanced down at her, she shrugged and shifted uncomfortably.

"-right in the middle of the stage! You need to control your son Jack, this is a school not a…" Principle Gupta's voice faded off.

"I know, but I couldn't just walk in and stop them." Troy started as he heard his fathers voice answer.

"You are a teacher, it is your responsibility to make sure that everything at this party is… suitable."

"I know, but I'm also his father, and it's difficult to know where I can draw the line between acting as his father or his teacher." Gabriella looked worriedly at troy, whose eyes were focussed on the wall opposite him, concentrating on the conversation.

"Well, we have Mr Harris on duty now, but when it's your turn to supervise you must be fair to everyone. Apparently Danforth was also misbehaving."

"But they're kids, that's what they do." Jack Bolton explained, his voice getting closer.

"Yes, and we're teachers, this is what we do." Gabriella tugged Troy's hand as principle Gupta's shadow appeared on the wall.

"Come on." She whispered, and quietly they snuck away.

Once they were safely outside, Troy sat tiredly on the bench at he bus stop, Gabriella pausing for a moment, then setting herself down next to him.

"I can't believe my dad's getting in trouble cause we… you know." Troy said slowly.

"I don't think he's really getting in trouble, it's just that Principle Gupta want this school to stay as a school and not become-" Gabriella stopped.

"A place for teens to make out and-"

"Drink, party, fight, get drunk, end up killing each other because they're too drunk to realise that it was a manakin not a girl?" Gabriella added.

"Huh?"

"At my last school there was this party thing, I didn't go, but someone spiked the punch and everyone got drunk and this guy went to hospital cause his friend had seen him making out with one of those manikins from the science lab and thought it was his girlfriend." Troy laughed and slid his arm around Gabriella's bare shoulders, feeling her shiver as he did.

"Okay, so you make a good point, but it is high school. Like dad said, that's what we do." Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Well not us, necessarily, but, you know, high school kids in general." Troy explained.

"I honestly can't imagine myself doing any of that stuff." Gabriella admitted, laughing a little.

"None of it?" Troy asked, looking directly into her eyes. Gabriella opened her mouth to answer, then closed it again when she saw the expression in Troy's deep blue eyes. He leant forward slowly, beginning to stroke her hair with the hand on her shoulder. She stayed still, only partly aware that he head was tilting towards his. When their lips were a hair's breath away from each other, they stopped, still staring into each others eyes.

"Maybe, I could do one part of it…" Gabriella whispered as her eyelids fluttered closed. Troy stopped for a second, looking from Gabriella's dark hair to her soft lips, smiling as her light breaths tickled his neck.

He leant forward slowly and pressed his lips against hers, feeling as she quickly reacted. He closed his eyes, and lost himself in her tender kiss.

Okay, so that ending was uspposed to be sweet, but it sort of seemed lame once i read it over. Please R&R, i do plan on writing more, but probably mostly one-offs cause they're so much easier and i dont feel guilty if i don't update. Anyway, thanks to anyone and everyone who bothered to read through about 10 pages of complete fluff (I know that's hardly any). I hope my first fanfic was satifactory enough!
