Gabriella Montez laid back on her bed, pretending to read her chemistry book as her roommate Sharpay Evans flew around their room getting ready for her date with Troy Bolton. Gabriella had been the one to introduce Sharpay to Troy last fall when they had all started attending school at the University of California - Berkley, or Cal as everyone called it.
While Gabriella and Sharpay had only met when they became roommates, Gabriella had known Troy for years because his grandparents’ lived next door to hers in Arizona. She had never had any romantic interest in Troy, so when Sharpay showed a hint, Gabriella jumped at the chance to set her friends up.
The ringing of their phone gave Gabriella an excuse to toss her chemistry book aside. With Sharpay in front of the mirror checking her makeup, Gabriella answered the phone with a hello.
“Hey Gabs, it’s Troy, can I talk to Sharpay?” Troy said in an unusually worried manner.
“She’s getting beautified,” Gabriella replied. “Is everything ok?”
“Yes and no,” Troy sighed. “She and I are supposed to go out tonight, but a surprise visitor just showed up at my room.”
“Who?” Gabriella asked.
“My best friend Chad,” Troy replied. “And I know Sharpay won’t want him to come out with us and unless you want to -”
“How about this, Chad can come over and hang out with me,” Gabriella suggested. “We can get pizza or something that way you and Sharpay can go out without having a third or fourth wheel?”
“Gabriella, who are you talking to?” Sharpay asked.
“Gabs, that’s perfect! Thank you!” Troy exclaimed. “I owe you big time. We’ll be over in fifteen minutes.”
“Bye, Troy,” Gabriella said before hanging up.
“Troy? Why didn’t you tell me he was on the phone?” Sharpay asked.
“Don’t worry, Shar, I handled the crisis,” Gabriella replied.
“Crisis? There was a crisis?!” Sharpay’s voice rose to a squawk.
“There was but I handled it,” Gabriella said as she grabbed her chemistry book off her bed and put it on her desk. “Troy’s best friend Chad showed up and he’s going to come hang out with me while you and Troy are out on your date.”
“You’re a life saver,” Sharpay smiled. “Did he say when they’d be here?”
“Fifteen minutes.”
“Perfect. That’ll give you time to shower and put on something nice.”
“Why, Chad and I are just hanging out here.”
“Go.”
Fifteen minutes later, Gabriella was running a comb through her damp hair when Sharpay let Troy and Chad into the room.
Troy greeted Sharpay with a kiss then extended introductions, “Gabriella and Sharpay, this is Chad, Chad this is Sharpay, my girlfriend, and Gabriella, you know all about her.”
“Nice to meet you,” Gabriella said, standing up to shake Chad’s hand. “And what do you mean by he knows all about me?”
“You know all about him too,” Troy rolled his eyes. “Anyway, have fun and we’ll be back in a few hours.”
“Behave,” Sharpay grinned knowingly as she gave Chad’s body a glance over when only Gabriella could see her.
“So you’re Gabriella Montez,” Chad said, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “Troy’s told me stories about you.”
“Troy’s told me stories about you, too,” Gabriella replied, feeling slightly turned on by the way Chad was staring at her. It was different than any other guy had ever stared at her. There was a familiarity to him, most likely due to the stories she had heard about him from Troy, but there was also this mysteriousness to him. His face was chiseled and his smile was a lazy, sexy one that made her feel flirty. “I’ve been waiting a long time to find out if they’re true.”
The grin on his face became bigger and she slapped her hand over her mouth, feeling embarrassed. Then a chuckle escaped his lips followed by a giggle from her own.
“Alright, now that we’ve gotten the awkwardness out of the way,” he said. “What are we going to do while Troy is out doing God knows what with Sharpay?”
“We could watch a movie,” Gabriella suggested. “And I can order some pizza or something.”
“You order the pizza, I’ll find a movie.”
Gabriella pointed him in the direction of her and Sharpay’s DVDs then went about ordering the pizza. She made sure the delivery guy would call her when he was almost to the dorms then hung up.
“Did you find something you wanted to watch?” Gabriella asked, turning her attention to Chad.
“Not yet, but why do you have Barney DVDs in here?” Chad asked, holding up one offending DVD.
“It’s not what you think,” Gabriella blushed. “Sharpay and I babysit her niece Chloe on Thursdays and those are to keep her entertained.”
“You sure about that?” Chad asked. “I remember Troy telling me a story about catching you watching Barney.”
“Says the guy who Troy caught watching Sesame Street two years ago.”
“Alright, I think we need to call a truce,” Chad laughed as he stood up, holding one of the Harry Potter movies in hand. “We obviously know a lot about each other and things could get messy.” He extended his hand. “Truce?”
“Fine,” Gabriella shook his hand then setup the movie.
Fifteen minutes into it, her cell phone rang and she went down to get it from the driver. She then returned to the room and found Chad stretched out on her bed.
“Comfy?” She asked.
“Absolutely, though I never took you for a pink sheet type girl.”
“They were a ‘gift’ from Sharpay when we moved in.” Gabriella rolled her eyes. “She insisted that we have matching sheets and bedspreads.”
“I’ve heard all about her obsession with things matching,” Chad grinned. “But Troy seems to like her a lot, so she can’t be that bad.”
“She’s has her moments, but she’s a real sweetheart,” Gabriella said. “I wouldn’t have set them up if I didn’t think they were going to be good for each other.”
“Troy’s always said you were good at figuring people out,” Chad stated.
“I like to people watch,” Gabriella shrugged. “It comes naturally.”
They finished eating their pizza and turned the movie back on. They had just started the second movie when Troy and Sharpay returned from their date.
“It was great finally meeting you, Gabs,” Chad said as he gave her a hug. “I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.”
“Same here,” Gabriella smiled.
“Alright, ladies, have a good night and lock the door behind us,” Troy said after giving Sharpay a kiss. “We’ll see you tomorrow.”
Gabriella closed the door behind them and locked the door. She turned around, leaning against the door and sighed.
“You like Chad!” Sharpay exclaimed.
“I don’t know him,” Gabriella blushed, walking over to her bed.
“But you feel like you’ve known him your whole life,” Sharpay mimicked Chad.
“It’s true, but come on, Shar,” Gabriella said. “You have to be around somebody a lot longer than 3 hours before you know if you love them.”
“WHOA?!” Sharpay exclaimed. “Nobody said anything about love, Gabriella Montez.” She grabbed her roommate’s hand and made her look at her. “I know you believe in love at first sight, but do you think that’s what this is with Chad?”
“I don’t know,” Gabriella replied. “All I know is that hanging out with him tonight was different than hanging out with any other guy I’ve ever known, including Troy.”
Five Months Later
Gabriella laid on her bed reading her psychology book as Sharpay flew around the room getting ready for her first big date with Troy since school had started again.
“Have fun tonight,” Sharpay said as she sprayed on some perfume. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Shar, I always study.”
“Well maybe you should do something else, something fun for a change?”
“Just go have fun with Troy.”
“Don’t have to tell me twice,” Sharpay grinned as she grabbed her purse. “Don’t wait up.” She sent a wink in Gabriella’s direction then left their room.
Fifteen minutes later, Gabriella’s studying was interrupted by a knock on the door. She tossed her book aside and got up to answer the door, only to be surprised when she found Chad on the other side.
“What are you doing here?” She asked, once he was in the room and the door was closed.
“Well, I wanted this to be a surprise, but I transferred to Cal,” he said, a smile spreading across his face.
“Seriously?” She said. “But I thought you liked the University of Albuquerque.”
“I realized that Cal offered me something that U of A didn’t,” he said, seriously.
“What’s that?”
“The opportunity to be with you.”
“Chad.”
“I’m serious, Gab, after I went home last Spring, I couldn’t get my mind off of you. Then after Troy and I were at his grandparents’ house at the same time you were at yours and we hung out and went on a couple dates, I went home and I realized that I had to be near you. So I put the paperwork in action and here I am.”
“You transferred for me?”
“I know it sounds crazy, Gab, but I’ve never felt for a girl the way I feel about you. I knew I would regret it if I didn’t put myself in a position to get to know you better.”
“Chad, do you believe in love at first sight?”
“I didn’t before you.”
Gabriella smiled as she stood on her tip toes, wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him. He kissed her back, his large hands getting lost in her curly hair.
It wasn’t until after Christmas break, when they were hanging out in her dorm room that Chad said the words Gabriella had been longing to hear, “I love you.”
“I love you, too,” she smiled, kissing him.
It was the Friday after Spring Break that he lowered her onto her pink sheets and positioned his naked body over her own. With his member wrapped tightly in a condom, their foreplay led to sex and he slid deep into her folds. Their mouths connected as their bodies moved together. He came first and she came a few seconds later.
He laid back on her twin bed, with her body draped over him so they could both lie there. They held each other close, not wanting to let go and knowing that their romance had been a long time coming.
