&hearts &hearts Dining With True Love (Gabriella)

[Jason Cross]

Troy parked in front of the Montez house. He was now going to take Gabriella on the, hopefully, perfect date she had ever been on. All he needed was to look good, smell nice, and a wonderful restaurant. He knocked on the door and waited patiently. No one had answered. He then rang the doorbell.

Troy heard someone yell which sounded as if Gabriella had bellowed, "COMING!" Troy fixed his tie and tux. He didn't want to look draggy and hoodlum-ish. He waited until Gabriella opened the door. Troy couldn't speak. She had looked so amazing and beautiful he couldn't move. "Y-you l-look so beautiful!" He stood in gaze at the sight of the beautiful teen.

Gabriella spent the day preparing herself for this special night. It was going to be her first dinner date with Troy-well, sort of. In the past, they had eaten dinner together, and though it was romantic, this one required dressing up and manners, something that excited Gabriella. And best of all, she was going to spend this memorable evening with Troy.

After hours of primping up, she was ready. She thought she heard the doorbell ring from downstairs. "That must be him!" Gabi told herself. She did some last-minute touches-putting on her earrings and slightly fixing her hair, as she trotted down the stairs as steady and fast as she could with her heels. She yelled "Coming!" in the door's direction, as not to keep Troy from waiting too long. Gabi kissed her mother goodbye, and smoothed out her dress and grabbed her purse from the coffee table as she proceeded to the door to greet Troy.

"Y-you l-look so beautiful!" Was what greeted her as she opened the door, a statement that made her blush into her already rosy cheeks. She giggled and held on Troy's hand as she replied sweetly, "Thank you." She got out of the house, and into the porch, and closed the door behind her as she linked arms with Troy and walked to his car.

Troy smiled charmingly at Gabriella. "Yeah I-I mean you really do look lovely." He took her hand and walked her to the car. He opened the door and let her in and shut it behind her. When he got in he started the car and began to drive. "I think you'll like where we're going!" He smiled.

As he drove he and Gabriella talked about stuff like how things were going and stuff. Finally they pulled up the the parking lot and parked. Getting out he came around and helped Gabriella out of the car. "Ready for a date of your life?"

Gabriella smiled at Troy when he said that she'd probably like where they were going. "Don't worry Troy, I trust you", she told him, squeezing his free hand as his other hand was on the wheel.

When they reached the restaurant, Troy parked the car in the parking lot. He went over to her side of the car and helped Gabriella out.

"Ready for a date of your life?" Gabriella smiled again as she took Troy's hand and got out of the car. "I'm ready whenever you are", she replied as she linked arms with Troy and headed inside the restaurant.

Troy bowed and then took Gabriella's hand holding it as they walked to the Restaurant. "Helore Dailie Restaurant." He said trying in his best French accent. "Uh, table for two please." The gentleman took them to their booth. Right by a window too. As Troy sat across from Gabriella he stared at her beautiful eyes. "So how have you been?" He asked suddenly. Troy wasn't good at starting conversations. That was one of his weak points.

Gabriella smiled at Troy as they sat across each other. "I've been pretty good, you know how the Science club pretty much is anyway", she rolled her eyes playfully. "And you? How's the team going? Are you guys prepared for this season?" She asked him earnestly. She knew that starting conversations was one of his weak points, so she asked him a question that would make him feel more comfortable.

She looked out of the window she was beside in, the streetlights illuminating the dark streets, with passersby going about. She was sure she was lucky to have been inside, and in front of the boy she loved.

((Oh God I can't believe I haven't replied for over 3 months. God I must be going insane!))

"And you? How's the team going? Are you guys prepared for this season?" Gabriella asked. Troy shrugged. He wasn't quite sure. "I wouldn't say prepared is the right word." He began. "The team hasn't been on task lately, you know with the prom coming and stuff. We just haven't been focused on the game." He looked at Gabriella. "I just don't know if we'll be ready for the championships this year. I know it's still far away but.." Troy was cut off by the waitress.

"Hello I'll be your waitress today. Can I get you guys anything to drink?" The girl asked. Troy looked down at the Menu. "Uh, I'll just have a water please!" He asked. The girl nodded and looked at Gabriella. "And would you like anything to drink?" She asked Gabriella. Troy looked at the Menu to see what he'd get to eat. Luckily his dad loaned him money. Everything was expensive.

"I wouldn't say prepared is the right word." Troy told her. Gabriella mouthed an oh, and nodding understandingly. "The team hasn't been on task lately, you know with the prom coming and stuff. We just haven't been focused on the game."

"Well, yeah, I could understand that, I mean, who wouldn't be excited for prom?" Gabriella told him in agreement, and held his hand to show her sympathy. As Troy looked at her, she held his gaze lovingly, smiling softly. Troy was telling her that they weren't ready for the championships yet when the waitress came and cut him off.

"Hello I'll be your waitress today. Can I get you guys anything to drink?" As the waitress asked the two of them, Gabriella nodded at him slightly, gesturing for him to order first.

"Uh, I'll just have a water please!" Troy told the waitress, and Gabriella looked at him in surprise, but slightly smiling. "Troy, are you sure that's what you'll have?" Gabriella asked him. When it was her turn to order drinks, Gabriella looked at the waitress. "Well in that case, I'll be having whatever drink he's having", she smiled and turned to look back at Troy who was right in front of her.
