A/N : Hey guys... everyone who knows me knows that i usually write JONAS fics... especially Nacy ones only... This fic though has been banging on my brain to get out onto my laptop... Its been stopping me from trying to write the other stories that i have in the works... So i decided to finish this once and for all and get it out of the way... I might end up posting the whole thing in 2 or 3 days... it will contain abt 7 chapters or so with an epilogue at the end...

Ryelsi is like my fav pairing in the HSM series and i honest to god hate Disney and Kenny Ortega for not giving them more on screen time...

Ooh... first things first...

Disclaimer : As everyone already knows... I am just a poor student who doesn't own anything... Not even the laptop i am typing this on... So excuse me why i go to the corner and cry :'(

Chapter 1

Kelsi Nielsen walked down the almost empty halls of East High from her locker to the music room… She loved being at school this early every morning…. It gave her a different perspective of the school, being able to really see it as it was, without the distracting horde of students, the noise and the crowd… She loved the sense of peace that came over her when she stepped into the school music room, taking in the warm glow of the early morning sun on the floor by the beautiful, shiny black baby grand piano there…

This…. This was her domain… This was the place she knew she belonged at… Sharpay Evans may be the queen of the school, but here, in the music room, Kelsi ruled…. Here, Kelsi, the shy, small bespectacled girl who would rather not be noticed slipped away… Leaving only Kelsi Nielsen, the composer behind… One who reveled in the music… One who was proud of the connection she could create between hearts through her music… She was secretly proud of how she had brought the famous 'it' couple of the school together… Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez… And it had all been due to her music!...

The shiny, contrasting black and white ivory keys were by far her best friends in this school…. She loved the way it felt when she sat on the piano bench and readied to play by placing her hands on the keys… The music flowed through her, the familiarity of the keys under her slightly callused fingertips letting loose the spirit of creativity… She knew that this was the time and place where she wrote some of her best music…

Her smile faltered a bit when she thought of that one person she wrote most of what were her best compositions for… Since the day she figured out exactly why she felt the way she did around him, Kelsi had been unconsciously writing some of her best pieces of music when she thought about him… The one person who made her heart flutter in her chest like a hummingbird… The one who made her feel things she had never felt before…. The one who Kelsi Nielsen loved with all her heart… Nobody but her had even heard most of those pieces… She couldn't bring herself to play them for anybody else… It was very personal and she was afraid that if he or someone else who understood her music would listen, they would know how she felt… There were some days when she felt like she just had to tell someone about this… maybe even him…

Then she smiled and simply shook her head, knowing that she might be feeling brave enough in the music room but outside, she was still shy little Kelsi and there was absolutely no way she would be able to shore up the courage to disclose her feelings to him…or anyone else for that matter…

As she sat down at the piano bench and lifted the cover on the keys, her fingers encountered a barrier between them and the ivory and ebony… A soft ivory long stemmed rose bud, its petals delicately edged with the faintest of pinks was placed across the keys of the piano… It was so soft and so beautiful that Kelsi for a moment forgot her determination to get working on her music and sat admiring the beautiful flower… She was almost afraid to touch the flower or remove it from its current position as she was completely sure that it wasn't meant for her… I mean come on… Who would leave a flower for her?... And such a beautiful one at that?...

She was boring, shy and just plain normal Kelsi Nielsen… Not someone like Sharpay Evans who made boys run after her like puppies or Gabriella Montez, a genius with an amazing voice who captured the heart of East High's golden boy Troy Bolton… She was just the small unnoticeable shy girl whose only distinction was that she wrote music… She had had a lot of fun composing music for the musical during the spring session and the staff talent show during summer… It had been quite the experience working with all the Wildcats after spending most of her school years being terrorized by the one and only drama queen of East High – Sharpay Evans…. It was not that she didn't like working with them… They were highly talented the twins… Sharpay and him… She couldn't even bring herself to say his name nowadays…

Her obsession with Ryan Evans had started when she heard him sing and play for the first time almost a year ago… She had been heading to the music room at her usual time in the morning when she had heard someone already in there, playing a soft melody that was somehow both happy and sad at the same time… Then his voice had sounded… Clear as a bell but soft like a raincloud… the music and lyrics wrapping themselves around her like a warm blanket… She was sure she had never heard the song or the melody ever before which meant that it had to be his own composition… She didn't know how she knew that but to her it sounded like something Ryan would write… Though she had never heard him play or sing something like that before.

Kelsi hadn't known that Ryan wrote music, much less songs so beautiful as the one she heard now… She had decided not to disturb him and leave him to it but found that her feet were completely reluctant to move away from her place… It was as if her body was disobeying her mind and insisting on staying right there, listening to the beautiful, haunting melody of the song being played… She had stayed there till she had heard him put back the cover on the keys and get ready to leave that day… After that she had never been able to hear him sing or play anything that was his own… But that one day, that one song had made so much of a difference in the way Kelsi perceived Ryan Evans that she found herself starting to notice him in a whole new light…
