It was Just a Mistake

Chapter 1- I am the Luckiest Girl in the World

It was July, and as usual, Troy was playing basketball with his friends Chad, Zeke, and Jason. They had been playing for a while until Chad said, "Dude it's 4! You'd better be going. You do want this to be a surprise, don't you?"

"Yeah, I do. See you." Troy said as he jumped into his Acura MDX and drove off. Gabriella, his girlfriend and a gifted ballet dancer, was dancing as Odette in the Swan Princess. Ballet wasn't really Troy's thing, and Gabriella knew that. However, Troy really loved his girlfriend, and he knew that it would make her really happy if he was there to watch her dance. He went home and quickly dressed in a nice blue shirt and pants. As much as he hated ballet, he couldn't help himself from being excited.

He arrived just in time for the show. He sat next to Gabriella's mom, Rhea. Gabriella's dance was absolutely breathtaking he couldn't believe that she was so good. Her dance was flawless and graceful. While watching her dance, he realized how much he loved her.

After the show, he hurried to see her. He found out where the dressing room was from her mother. Meanwhile, Gabriella had been waiting patiently to change. Victoria, a friend of hers/dancer, was busily making out with her boyfriend right in front of the dressing room. Gabriella waited for them to come up for air. "Of all the nerve." She mumbled. Troy crept up silently behind her, held her waist, and spun her around.

'TROY! You came. I can't believe it! What made you come?" she screamed. She didn't notice that everyone around her had covered up their ears.

"When Sharpay told me you were awesome, I just had to come. I'm sorry I didn't come earlier." Troy said. "Besides, the gang wants to meet up for an early dinner. I came to escort a lovely lady."

"Well, let me get changed first." she said. She just couldn't take it anymore. "Victoria! Can I please use the dressing room?" Victoria looked at her sheepishly.

"Sorry." she said. She then moved out of the way. Gabriella went in to change. Troy turned around to find a Katrina Stevens, a rival of Gabriella's, and her gang right behind him.

"OMG, you're Troy Bolton, aren't you? I can't believe you came to see me dance. You are soooooo sweet!" she said.

"Um, I didn't…"

"Look it's no big deal. You don't have to be shy. Why don't we ditch this place and have some dinner?" Katrina squeaked.

"Oh God." Troy thought.

Meanwhile in Gabriella's dressing room

Gabriella's cell phone started to ring just as she finished changing into a turquoise chiffon halter top and white capris. It was Sharpay.

"Hey Sharpay!" Gabriella said.

"Hey Gabi. Look, slight change of plans. We are meeting at the Café Bavaria in fifteen minutes. Then, we are going to go see Bobby at the theater. Can you make it?"

"Yeah, no problem. Troy and I are just about to leave." Gabriella said. Gabriella exited the dressing room only to find Katrina Stevens practically on top of her poor boyfriend. "Gabriella to the rescue," she thought.

"Anyways, so I cannot believe the hottest guy at East High is here to see me…" Katrina droned on.

"Uh, well I was trying to say…" Troy started.

"Troy, honey! Gabriella sang out. Katrina looked horrified. Gabriella walked up to Troy and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. Then she hugged him.

"What are you doing?" Troy whispered while Gabriella hugged him.

"Rescuing you," Gabriella whispered back. She let him go. "OMG, I didn't see you there, Katrina. I see you've met Troy, my boyfriend." She asked in a snobbish voice.

"Yeah, whatever, let's go, girls." Katrina huffed and walked away.

Gabriella turned to Troy and smiled. "You're welcome." she said. "Come on. A certain Miss Evans is expecting us at Café Bavaria, and you know what she'll do if we're late." Troy smiled and nodded. He took her hand in his, and they walked out of the theater.

A.N. How do you like it? I know it looks all fluffy. It will get more exciting later. It was also eventually have some songs in it. Bear with me and please review!
