HEY GUYS,

Okay I have a hundred million things to say

-firstly, yes this is a new story and I'm going to try and focus on this one.

-Secondly yes I did delete "Love in New York, this is how it goes" and the rewritten version of Meant to be together, please don't be mad. I think I just need to focus on one story for now, I really hope I can write those stories again in the future. I just want you ALL to know that I appreciated every single review I got on those stories, honestly, thank you so, so much! Legit, I can't thank you all enough.

-This first chapter will be in Troy's point of view, but the rest of the story is going to be in Gabriella point of view characters view.

So that was all I really, really hope you like this story, the idea came to me when I watched David and Victoria Beckham. Then I remembered my crush is insanely in love with soccer and I knew I just had to write this.

Ignore any spelling mistakes please!

1 minute.

It would be make it or break it.

This would be the biggest minute of our lives, you could feel the tension in the air, and the stress went through the roof.

I raced down the ground with the ball dribbling in between my feet, I dodged all the other players as they tried to steal the ball and trip me. I passed the ball to my team mate Jason, who dribbled it further and passed it back to me. I was right near the goal, I could hear my heart thumping in my throat, and I kicked the ball with my right foot as hard as I could. This was it; it wasn't up to me now.

The ball hit the net and a second later the siren went out. I screamed overjoyed, my team mates put me on their shoulder as my dad shot me thumbs up from the bench. The crowd screamed over excited.

Yep, my names Troy Alexander Bolton, 22 year old captain and we just won the world cup.

"Good Job Troy"

"You were awesome out there dude!"

"Congrats man"

"You showed them how it's done"

I grinned and quickly said thank you to everyone. After a long shower the after party had just began.

"Nice game out there dude, you were on fire" Chad Danforth, he was obviously excited. I had known Chad for almost 20 years now and he's never changed. He and I have been best friends; no we've been like brothers through the whole thing. As soon as I got voted captain I made him vice-captain, he was one person I knew I could trust through everything.

"Thanks man you did really good out there" I told him as he pulled me into a manly hug.

"Thanks cap" he grinned "I'll see you later?"

Hah, I knew him too well.

"Taylor here?" I asked knowingly, Chad nodded sheepishly.

"Be safe" I teased, chad laughed it off and went to find his 5 months girlfriend.

My eyes wandered across the room, many girls tried to catch my eyes but I looked away in disgust. I would be up for it any other night but tonight I just wanted to enjoy and meet a nice girl.

My eyes wandered again and then suddenly stopped, it was a hot brunette that was laughing as a girl was telling her a joke. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I had to know her name, fuck who was she?

Her friend hugged her and started walking the other direction, now was my chance to introduce myself. I took wine for her and a beer for me and then I started walking over. I held out the glass as she gave me a grateful smile, she was beautiful, you could just tell as all the boys had there attention on her while she shyly didn't pay any attention to them.

"Congrats" she smiled "Should I be worried that there's something mixed in?"

She had the sweetest voice, what the fuck troy? Calm your hormones, she's just another girl….no,she's not just another girl something inside me said. I turned my Bolton charm on.

"Thanks" I said giving her the 'Bolton smile' "and nope, nothing in there."

"And how do I know you're not just trying to get in my pants and looking for an easy lay" she asked joking. Oh would I love to? But there was something about her that didn't just make me think about sex, I wanted to know her.

"Because if I would, wouldn't I just go for one of the girls who would throw themselves at any guy?" I asked.

She raised her left eyebrow, it was cute.

"Touché" she finally smiled.

She turned around to look over her shoulder only to meet looks that weren't exactly nice from the other girls I had received seducing looks from before. Her expression turned from a smile to a scared one in a second. I laughed and at her cute little expression, leaned down and whispered in a husky voice.

"They won't kill you".

She shivered at out closeness, was she feeling the sparks I was? She debated something in her head and then finally spoke.

"Gabriella Montez, fashion designer" she smiled moving her hand forward.

"Troy Bolton, football captain" I said shaking her hand "so are you alone?" I asked her passing her a smile.

"Well I wasn't until my best friend, Taylor went somewhere with her boyfriend" Gabriella explained.

She was Taylor's friend? She was the girl Taylor was telling chad about?

"No way you're Taylor's friend?" I asked

"Yep" she smiled "Why? How do you know her?"

"Chad my best friend so Taylors been around a lot. I like her, she's cool, just the girl to put Chad to his place when he needs it" I answered smirking.

"Oh, Chads not that bad either even though I've just met him, I've heard a lot about him and he seems like unlike any guy Tay's dated" She smiled, god she was perfect.

I laughed and smiled "That's chad, so how come I haven't met you before and you just met Chad, I mean him and Taylor have been going out five months?"

"Work" she answered simply "I decided to go to New York for fashion week and while I was there a few people that had heard of my work, offered me to design fashion for their runway and well one thing led to another and I had to stay in new york for 6 months but I love designing so it was really fun. I'm just glad to be back in LA, I missed home"

I nodded understanding her; work can be pretty hectic sometimes.

"So is it hard being captain?" she asked taking a sip of her wine.

I shrugged "makes me work a little harder I guess, but I love football"

She gave me a smile and her phone buzzed indicating she had a text, she looked it and then she muttered fuck.

"Oh shoot, I'm so sorry Troy, I have to go" she said looking at me apologetically.

My expression turned disappointed but I quickly smiled not wanting to make her feel bad. I wouldn't forget her, no way, there was something about her.

"It's okay, may I have your number to call or something?" I asked awkwardly, I rubbed my neck with the back of my fingers. I couldn't help be like this around her.

She giggled at my awkwardness cutely. She opened her purse and pulled out a notepad and pen, she ripped the piece of paper out and handed the piece of paper to me.

"Here you go" she said softly.

"Thanks" I grinned

"Listen Troy" she began "it was nice talking to you, I mean it was really nice"

"You too Gabriella" I smiled at her.

"I have to go, the limos waiting" she said.

"Bye Gabriella" I waved.

She gave me one more smile and walked away, I couldn't let her go like that, I just couldn't so I grabbed her wrist. She turned around; I brought her hands forward to my lips and kissed it. She blushed.

"It was really nice to meet you, expect a call soon" I winked.

She nodded her cheeks still rose, I let go of her wrist as she hugged me and then I watched her turn around and walk the other way. I smiled softly, Gabriella Montez I would remember that name. No girl had ever had that effect on me.
