honesty.
She sees him from a distance. She doesn't recognise him, but he looks familiar somehow. She makes her way slowly, and silently, to the roundabout. She sits down. He doesn't turn round. They're back to back. She speaks first.
"Hi." Her voice is barely above a whisper. It makes him smile.
"Hey." His voice is the same volume as hers. She thinks he might be mocking her, but she's unsure. It feels like she's unsure of everything right now. The wind is too loud. She can't hear him properly, so she doesn't pick up on any mockery in his voice.
"Why are you here so late?" Her voice is louder. Her confidence is growing.
"I could ask you the same question." His smirk goes unseen. She laughs.
"I asked first."
"I'm thinking about…stuff. Your turn."
"I'm thinking too." There's a silence as neither of them know what to say. After a while, his voice comes, blown by the wind.
"What are you thinking about?" She shrugs, even though she knows full well that he can't see her. "It's okay. You can tell me."
"My boyfriend. It's just, he seems to be getting really close to this other girl, and he seems really distant. I think I'm losing him." A pause. "What are you thinking about?"
"My girlfriend. She's been acting really cold and faraway. I had no idea why, but now I think I know." She laughs and he can't help but join in. Her laugh sounds familiar somehow.
"Well, it seems like we're good in relationships, doesn't it? God, I just wish he would speak to me about it."
"I'm sure if your boyfriend heard what you just said, he'd tell you that he loves you and wants to be with you more than anything, and that this other girl is just a friend and nothing more. If only my own girlfriend would forgive me."
"I'm sure if you explained everything to your girlfriend, she'd tell you that she loves you unconditionally, and that she's the one at fault for making accusations without your side of the story."
"So what's your boyfriend's name?"
"Troy Bolton. And your girlfriend?"
"Gabriella Montez." Their voices came together.
"You."
It's a Troyella, but I'm surprising pleased with this. I really liked the way I wrote this; how most of the sentences are simple and to the point.
I hope you enjoyed it. Review please. D
