Gabriella stared out her window and sighed. She had been studying for four hours. For something pointless. For a test she didn't even need to take. Or want to take, for that matter.

Mrs. Barker didn't teach them. All she assigned was bookwork. Most of the time, Gabriella thought that maybe she didn't know any of the material, so she never expected there to be a lesson.

The next day, Gabriella got to school late. She missed part of first period, which didn't really matter to her anyways because her teacher was a psychotic lunatic. She got to second period, and only because she was trying to avoid third period, the class went by very fast.

Gabriella walked into the History classroom and noticed it had been arranged into tables. The storage room door was wide open and things were clunking inside, so she didn't dare go in. She found her seat next to Sharpay, Kelsi and Taylor.

"Hey, Brie," Kelsi said quietly.

"Hey, Kels," she responded.

Gabriella pulled out her History binder and began studying frantically again. The front door continued to open and close, more students piling into the classroom. When the bell rang, the teacher was still in the storage room, clambering and clanging around. Finally in walked the teacher holding a huge sign reading: NO TEST TODAY. Everyone cheered and laughed at the very extreme entrance.

When the sign was put down, everyone went silent.

He was back.

Troy looked at his class. It sure had been a long time. It was now December, only a month before he said he would be back.

It was hard to be away for so long. He had been looking forward to returning to school. He missed his classes. He missed his home. He really missed her.

Why her? Why not someone older than her? Why was she always on his mind? Why him?

And there she was, sitting in his classroom. She hadn't really contacted him while he was gone. She sent him a long text message about how maybe they could use this time to think and process what happened, but Troy didn't want to do that. He wanted her in his life, period.

She looked as beautiful as ever. Her eyes, sparkling, and her face looking very serene. She was truly the definition of a goddess. How he missed looking into her eyes and seeing how her radiance had filled the room and his life with such life. It was like she was his heroin and he was the drug addict.

Soon enough the bell rang, the class filed out of the room. Only a few students left, including Gabriella. He desperately needed to talk to her, but her friends were still standing around her, chattering away about what they were going to do for free period.

"I think we should go to the auditorium and work on some musical pieces," Kelsi suggested.

"Let's not and say we did," Sharpay said in a cool tone. It was a joking tone as well and Kelsi giggled a bit.

Taylor turned to Gabriella. "What do you think, Brie?"

Gabriella looked at Troy very subtly and he nodded his head very quickly without anyone knowing that he had.

"I think I'm just going to go read a book alone somewhere," she mused.

Taylor shrugged her shoulders. "Alright then, we'll see you later, Brie." The three walked out of the classroom leaving Troy and Gabriella alone in the classroom.

Troy got up and walked over to the door, pulling the shade of the window down and locking the door. He turned back to her.

"Brie," he said softly. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He did the same with her waist, inhaling her scent. She smelled of strawberry-scented shampoo, some kind of Victoria's Secret perfume and cleanliness. It was absolutely triggering his senses and he could hardly keep his mind on track.

She buried her face into his chest. He kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair. He missed her so much, and the feelings were obviously reciprocated.

He started rubbing her back while she began kissing his chest up to his neck. She knew his weaknesses so well. He picked her up and placed her on top of his desk. He pressed his lips into hers and for that moment, nothing else in the world mattered. The fact that they were in a school perished. The age difference disintegrated. It was just a man and a woman in love. All was right in the world.

Her lips parted slightly, which gave Troy the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth and began kissing her hungrily. Her arms tightened around him as she exerted as much power into it as she could.

They continued their heated make-out session for another fifteen minutes. He sat in his chair at his desk and she sat on top, straddling him and smiling sexily. She was so hard to resist, but it couldn't continue any longer, for someone would surely find them.

He kissed her very softly and quick. "Brie, free period is almost over," he said reluctantly.

She frowned. "Hmph. I don't want to go." She nuzzled her face into his neck.

"I know, baby, I know," he said, stroking her back. "But you know you have to."

She sighed. "Yeah, I know. Still, it doesn't change how I feel. I want to stay here with you."

He held her tighter against him. Once free period was over, he would miss her like crazy, and he knew that. It was Friday and he wouldn't even be able to see her until Monday. Unless…

"Hey, Brie, are you busy tonight?

Gabriella was sitting at her house, waiting for Troy to get there. Her mom was out of town for the weekend and she told her that she would be staying at Sharpay's house. She was watching her recordings of Gossip Girl, for she was not able to watch them during the week.

Hearing a car beep as if it were being locked, Gabriella turned the television off. She straightened out her clothes and grabbed her purse. The doorbell rang and she waited a few seconds before opening it.

"Hi," she said, smiling at him.

"Well, hello, beautiful," he said very casually. He was wearing ripped jeans and a button down shirt which was very similar to the color of his eyes.

She couldn't help herself but stand on the balls of her feet and kiss him gently. He kissed her back, making the kiss lengthy. She tangled her fingers into his hair and continued kissing him. Before she knew it, the door was closed and they were inside of her house making out.

And they continued making out in the kitchen, in the living room, on the dining room table, and up the stairs into her bedroom. She opened the door, but didn't bother turning the lights on while they continued the kiss. Gabriella fell back onto her bed and pulled him on top of her. She desired him. At that moment, she would do just about anything to have him the way most girls had their boyfriends. She started to unbutton his shirt and pulled it off completely. Her hand stroked his bare chest while Troy started lifting her shirt up and off her body.

They continued tearing away at each other's clothing, stealing kisses here and there. Soon enough, they were completely naked, and that was okay with them. She wrapped her legs around his body as he hovered over her.

"Ready?" His voice was husky and low.

"Always am," she said, winking at him, causing him to smile big.

Troy had never expected that this was how his night with Gabriella was going to get. He was very shocked, but extremely pleased. He had never expected anything like this from Gabriella, and to be quite honest, he liked this side of her. It was something he rarely saw, and that triggered him even more. He was completely in love. And he liked the feeling.

He kissed her forehead softly. "I love you, Gabriella," he whispered into her ear.

She snuggled against his sweaty body. "I love you, too, Troy."

And all was right in their world.
