"Troy its new year's eve. Enough reading." Troy's mom said snatching the book away from her son's hands, who was in the lobby of the hotel reading.
"But mum I'm almost done and-" Troy started to argue before he was cut off by his mom.
"The teen party? Come get ready." She said sternly.
"Can I have my book back? Thank you" He said when he got his book back. After he got dressed, he headed to the party in the lounge. Once he got there, he sat down in the far corner and began to read, again. Meanwhile in the gym, Gabriella Bolton and her dad Coach Bolton were practicing for the next basketball season. Gabriella wasn't just the only girl on the boys basketball team but she was there captain.
"Keep working on it Gabriella got a guard in the championship game were expecting you'll torch 'em!" Coach Bolton said.
"Am I going left?" Gabriella asked making sure she was getting it right.
"Yeah. He looks down the middle you take it downtown." He said, demonstrating before making the basket.
"Ok like this?" she said copping the movie and making a basket.
"Whoo that's man. Sweet. Let's see that in the game." He said before his wife came in the gym.
"Guys? Did we really fly all this way to play more basket ball?" Gabriella's mom asked a little annoyed.
"Yeah." they said together.
"It's the last night of vacation. The party, remember?" Gabriella's mom asked getting more annoyed.
"Right the party, the party new years eve." he said even though he forgot.
"Gabriella there's a kid's party downstairs in the freestyle club." Gabriella's mom said.
"Kid's party?" Gabriella said making a face.
"Young adults now go, shower up. I've laid out your best clothes." she corrected before leaving the gym.
Once Gabriella had changed and gotten dressed, she headed down to the party. When she got there she talked to some people before sitting down. After awhile a guy took the stage.
"All right how's that for a couple of snow boarders? Who's going to rock the house next? Huh?" The guy on stage said making everyone cheer. Then the spot light landed on Troy and Gabriella. They were then pushed up to the stage. They both had mortified expressions on there face as the music started. Gabriella worked up the courage to sing as the lyrics came on the screen.
Gabriella:
Living in my own world,
Didn't understand,
That anything can happen,
When you take a chance.
Gabriella started to walk of stage when Troy started to sing.
Troy:
I never believed in,
What I couldn't see,
I never opened my heart (oh,oh),
to all the posibilities.
Ooooooooooo
Both:
I know, that something has changed,
Never felt this way,
And right here tonight,
Chorus:
This could be the start,
Of something new,
It feels so right,
To be here with you, ohh,
And now,
Looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart,
The start of something new.
Gabriella:
Now who'd have ever thought that,
We'd both be here tonight, oh, yeah,
Gabriella:
And the world looks so much brighter,
With you by my side,
Both:
I know that something has changed,
Never felt this way,
I know it for real...
[chorus]
Troy:
I never knew that it could happen,
Till it happened to me, oohh, yeah
Both:
I didnt know it before,
But now its easy to see-eeeeeeeeeee Oooohh,
[chorus x2]
When they finished singing they were both smiling at each other before quickly exiting the stage and going out on the balcony together then started to talk. After awhile Gabriella realized she didn't know his name.
"Gabriella." Gabriella said holding out her hand.
"Troy." Troy said shaking her hand.
"But seriously you have an amazing voice. Your a singer right?" Gabriella said smiling.
"Just church choir is all. I tried solo and nearly fainted." Troy said before blushing slightly at having said that.
"Why's that?"
"I took one look at all the people and next thing I knew I was staring at the ceiling end of solo career."
"Well the way you sang tonight that's pretty hard to believe."
"Well that was the first time I did something like that. It was so cool."
"I know me too!"
"Well you sounded like you've done a lot of singing too." Troy said.
"Yeah, sure my shower head is very impressed with me." Gabriella said making them both laugh. The they heard people inside counting down till the news year.
"9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1HAPPY NEW YEAR!" they heard people yell before they saw fireworks.
"I guess I better go find my mom and wish her a happy new year." Troy said awkwardly.
"Yeah me too I mean not your mom. My mom …and dad .uh I'll call you. I'll call you tomorrow. Here put your number in here." Gabriella said handing Troy her phone.
"You too." Troy said handing her his phone.
"Uh ok there, just so you know singing with you was the most fun I've had on this entire vacation, Troy." She said as they handed back each others phones before they went there separate ways thinking they will never see each other again.
