Prologue

--

This was what it all came down to.

When you were younger, your parents always told you that you would have to make more and more choices as you grew up – some would have a long-lasting effect while others would barely matter. Some would bring you joy and others would cause you pain and regret. Some were obvious, some you had to think about for days, and sometimes you still weren't sure if it was right.

Everyone had to make choices.

He sighed and leaned his head against the wall. He thought of his father, telling him to make the family proud and fight for the well-being of Germany. He thought of his friend, who was so torn and broken by the war that he was convinced that the only way to make things better was to kill. And he thought of her, remembering how she begged and pleaded with him to do what was right in his heart. They were three very different people, and they were all important to him. They all wanted him to make the right choice, but what was the right choice? It was different for all of them. Did he know what the right choice was for him? Could he trust himself to make a decision that would have a positive effect? Was there even a better choice?

His time was running out, and he had to come up with a resolution soon. There was only one certain thing: his choice would change his life forever.

Yes, everyone had a choice – and it was time for Troy Bolton to make his.
