A/N: This is my first fanfic so it's not really that good. Please review so I know what to do different next time.

Rehearsals for East High's musical 'Senior Year' were just finishing for the afternoon. The students were slowly leaving the theatre to go home after a long, hot day. A tall boy with blonde hair and a permanent smile attached to his face walked slowly over to the piano and sat down next to a quiet girl with brown hair and a far off look in her eye.

Kelsi jumped when she felt someone sit down next to her. She looked across and saw that the newcomer was Ryan. They hugged each other briefly then she gave him a small smile and went back to working on the piece of music in front of her. Ryan reached over and wrote something on the page. Kelsi was used to this and decided she would read his addition to the piece when she was done.

She finished making adjustments and went to look at what Ryan had written. When she saw it her heart stopped beating. The girl looked at the boy next to her with a look of amazement on her face. She was unable to say anything. This was too much for her, she didn't know how to react. More to the point she couldn't react.

"So…?" Ryan said after a while.

Kelsi was still staring at him. Suddenly, she shook her head as if to clear it then nodded enthusiastically and squealed "Yes Ryan, of course I'll go to the prom with you!"

"Great." Ryan beamed . "I'll pick you up at seven then."

As Ryan got up to leave, he leant across towards her and kissed her right on the lips then walked out of the theatre. Kelsi was glad he had left because she had turned as red as a beetroot. It was also lucky that the rest of the cast had gone home or she would have died of embarrassment.

"Wow. I didn't expect that at all." She muttered to herself.

Kelsi sat there for at least an hour before she realised that she should have been home by now. She gathered all her sheets together and ran out the door. All the way home she could only think of Ryan.
