Right here, Right now (Troy Bolton X Reader)

Prepare For Landing

Troy's POV:

The girl next to me was humming to a song I used to sing with Gabriella. I just sat there gazing at her- she had her eyes closed so she didn't notice me. She began drifting off and leaned her head on my shoulder. Her hair smelt like strawberries.

*short time skip*

I heard her quiet mumbles and her eyelids slowly begin to flutter open. She let out a small sigh and starts to stretch out her arms, not realising she was still on a plane. Her elbow nudged my face, she turned around.

"I'm really sorry. Did I hurt you? Are you ok?" She said worriedly.

"No no, I'm fine, don't worry." I reply

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. And I'm Troy"

"I'm (Y/N)" she replied shyly

"Well it's nice to meet you (Y/N)"

" You too Troy"

Your POV:

Your eyelids begin to open, squinting at the bright light. You stretch out your arms, not being completely aware of where you were. You accidentally hit the cute guy next to you with your arm.
You apologised and you could feel your cheeks turn red. He forgave you. Phew!
He said his name was Troy.

"So, why are you heading to New York? Not to be nosy or anything but I'm just trying to make conversation, you know." He asked breaking the silence.

"I'm going to college"

"Same here. Which college?"

"Berkeley"

"What a coincidence, so am I!"

You talked for a little longer, telling Troy a bit about yourself, him telling you a bit about him.You already found out that Troy was a wildcat at East high, he's going to Berkeley so he can do theatre and basketball and that his best friend is called Chad. You were glad you now know someone going to the same college as you.

Troy's POV:

I was talking to Y/N and found out she was going to the same college as me and she was a straight A student at a school in Pennsylvania, she was a dancer (ballet to be exact) and she also loved writing.

*Short time skip*

"Passengers, please fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing." The voice from the speakers instructed.

Troy's POV:

"Well here we go" I whispered to myself. I hated planes especially when they take off and land though I didn't want to show it with Y/N sat next to me.
All of a sudden I hear a small squeak,Y/N held on to my left arm tightly- I could tell she was scared.
After we landed she let go and gave me an awkward smile.

"Sorry, I just really hate planes"  She told me

"Don't worry, I don't really like them either"I admitted.

There was an uncomfortable silence as we got of the plane.

*short time skip*

Your POV:

You clung onto Troy's arm. How could Troy be so calm?
When the plane landed, you let go and smile at him awkwardly. You could feel your cheeks turn warm

*short time skip*

You stand outside of the airport waiting for your taxi. You checked your phone for the time 11:53pm the taxi was supposed to be there at 11pm. You tried calling the taxi company. No answer. You hugged yourself it was getting cold.
A taxi pulled up, you crossed your fingers hoping it was yours. Nope, it was Troy's. He caught your eye and you looked at him hopefully. He called you.You walked over to him and got inside the taxi, Troy climbed in after you.

Troy's POV:

My taxi pulled up in front of me. I was about to get in when I saw Y/N shivering in the cold. I called her name and offered her a ride in the taxi- we were going to the same college after all. She nodded gratefully and I climbed in after her. The taxi ride wasn't that long. We sat there in silence, before long she had dozed off to sleep. I watched her- not to be creepy or anything, she just looked adorable when she was asleep.
