He Could Be the One

by allyxocorbin

Chad and Sharpay become friends and maybe more while going to U of A, but what will the return of Troy and the possibility of Troypay mean for Chadpay? Will Sharpay get what she's always wanted or lose what she never thought she needed? Chadpay, Troypay

1. Prologue

New story!!! You guys have no idea how excited I am to finally post this story for you guys to read! I started writing it back in May for a challenge thing and it's been completely finished for a month, but I've had to wait to post it (because of the rules). But now that I can post it, I'm super excited. haha It's different from my other stories, but I think you guys will like it.

There are twelve chapters total, well ten chapters plus a prologue and an epilogue, so my plan is to post a chapter every Saturday until it's all up.

I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Prologue

Pacing the bathroom of the winery, she was scared out of her mind. She'd performed thousands of times and had never once experience stage freight; but here she was, minutes from giving the most important monologue of her entire life, and all she felt like doing was throwing up.

She'd recited monologues before, hundreds of them, but what made this one different from the rest was that this one was not written by some aging playwright for a character in a play, it was her words from her heart to her beloved. Her past, present and, most importantly, her future were dependent on the words written on the notecards she had written.

She wished there could be some other way to declare her love then in a very public maid-of-honor speech, but he refused to be around her, much less speak to her. But here, at their friends' wedding, he would have to stay and listen to her speech and, with everyone else in attendance, hear the words meant only for him. The words that said she was sorry for what she had done and that he, and no one else, was the one for her.

Never in her life had she pictured herself at this crossroad. She had gotten what she'd wanted for years only to find out that it wasn't what she really wanted or needed. All the signs had been there; she just hadn't realized it until it was too late.

She had taken him for granted, she could see that now, but she would do anything to get him back. Even if that meant that she had to leave the bathroom of the winery, walk down to the room the reception was in then, in front of his family and friends, declare her love for him and tell him he was the one for her.

She couldn't chicken out. She owed it to the both of them to be the strong, confident woman he had helped her become. Even if it backfired and she was left embarrassed, it would be worth it, because he would know the truth: she loved him.
