As everyone celebrated their win, there were cheers and hugs all round the room. Kelsi Nielson stepped onto the court with everyone else, a little unsure as to what she was actually going to do, when there was a light tap on her shoulder.
Troy Bolton smiled to her, and handed her the basketball.
"Here's your ball. You deserve it…playmaker." He smiled, turning back to celebrate with his team mates.
Kelsi held the ball with both hands, a little uncertain of what to do, when she felt a hand place itself on her shoulder. Then her hat came off. She looked round to see Jason Cross, one of the basketball players, smiling at her.
She returned the smile, and before she knew it, the basketball was sent soaring in the air, and straight into the net. She turned to Jason, and their eyes locked.
"So…um…there's a party at Troy's house tonight. You want to come?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, I'd love to." Kelsi smiled.
"Great. Wait here, and I'll give you a lift." He grinned.
Kelsi nodded, grinning also.
Jason then leaned in, and lightly kissed Kelsi's cheek. She immediately felt herself go crimson at his touch. She had always liked him.
She watched as Jason went into the changing room with his team mates. Gabriella Montez, Taylor McKessie and Sharpay Evans (her new friends. Yes, Sharpay as well, which even Kelsi was shocked about.) all came up to her.
"What was that?" Gabriella smiled.
"What?" Kelsi asked, a little bemused.
"You and Mr Cross." Sharpay beamed.
"Oh that. It was nothing." Kelsi replied, slightly flushed.
"Oh yeah, then why are you blushing?" Gabriella teased.
"It's…um…warm in here, that's all." Kelsi quickly lied, looking down as to hide her beetroot cheeks.
"Oh, come on Kelsi. You can't fool us. We know you like him, and what was with that kiss?" Sharpay asked, nudging her friend's shoulder.
Kelsi's head shot up, and her eyes widened. She'd never hear the end of it now.
'Thanks for that Sharpay.' She thought, sarcastically.
"Kiss? Kiss?!" Taylor squealed. "He kissed you?!"
"It was only a peck on the cheek. It was nothing." Kelsi meekly replied.
As the girls, were all laughing, and trying to get more information out of Kelsi, the guys came into the gym.
Troy walked over to Gabriella, wrapping his arms around her waist; Chad went over to Taylor, kissing her cheek; Zeke went over to Sharpay, handing her a small bag of cookies; and Jason stood a little beside Kelsi.
As the only two in the newly formed group not in a relationship, Jason and Kelsi often had to sit next to each other in movies, restaurants, everything.
Not that they minded of course. They loved sitting together, as unbeknownst to them, they both had a crush on each other. Something which rather amused their friends.
"So, are we going or not?" Chad yelled, as they all made their way out the doors of the gym, laughing and joking.
When they got to the parking lot, they began to get into three cars. Jason and Kelsi walked to his car, a little away from everyone.
"Look." Gabriella whispered to Taylor, as she pointed over to, what she could now only call, the couple.
Jason opened Kelsi's door, and let her in. She smiled her thanks, he shut it, and returned to his side, with a rather goofy expression.
"Oh, that's too cute." Taylor shrieked.
"Why don't Troy and I get a ride with them, and we can report back with any news." Gabriella smiled, cheekily.
"Great idea." Taylor replied.
Moments later, everyone was in the cars, and on their way to Troy's house. The Cross car ride was quiet. Troy and Gabriella sat in the back, whispering to each other, while Jason and Kelsi sat quietly in the front, every now and again, stealing quick glances at one another, which didn't go unnoticed by the Wildcat spy, Gabriella.
A short while later, they arrived at the Bolton mansion. Troy and Gabriella immediately got out of the car and straight over to the door. Jason got out, and went round to Kelsi's side, to let her out. She giggled at how sweet he was being, but when she saw the size of Troy's house, she was in awe.
"Big, isn't it?" Jason laughed.
Kelsi could do nothing, but just nod, as Jason took her hand, leading her in. Another action for Gabriella to report back with.
As they entered, Kelsi gasped.
'Troy's house is amazing!' She thought.
Jason led her into the lounge, where the rest of the gang were. They both sat down.
Gabriella sat beside Taylor, telling her everything she saw, and Taylor gasped when she saw the two come in, hand in hand.
"Everyone else will be here in about an hour." Troy announced. He had invited the rest of the basketball team, the drama club, and the scholastic decathlon team.
A small get together, he called it. A huge party, Kelsi renamed it. She'd never been to a house party before, and was freaking out about this one.
A few minutes later, the guys had been summoned by Coach Bolton to get a victory photograph.
Kelsi stood up, noticing a small room. It's door was ajar, and she could see what was in there.
"I'll be back in a minute." She said to Gabriella, as she made her way into the room.
It was a small room, with not much furniture. Just a sofa and a baby grand piano occupied it.
Kelsi immediately walked over to the piano stool, sat down, and ran her delicate fingers across the cold, ivory keys. She then moved her fingers on the right keys, and at that moment, the small room was filled with the beautiful sounds of those ivory keys that she knew only too well.
She closed her eyes, engulfed in the music. Music always seemed to empower her. To give her strength.
She was so focused on the notes in her head, she didn't even hear the door open. As the last remaining notes, of the song her late grandmother had taught her, faded away, she sighed.
"That was beautiful."
