Snapshots

A/N: Yup, I'm starting on a brand new mini-series-ish thing...

So this chapter is very raw... So pardon any unsatisfactory parts and do drop me a review, so I can improve!

Disclaimer: Nothing... nothing but the plot...


Chapter One: Zoom In

GPOV

"I never thought about singing, that's for sure, until you."

Until me.

Heat crept up my cheeks and my heart slammed against my chest. He made me feel so special, like I was more than the freaky math girl. Like I was more than somebody he met during vacation.

"So do you really wanna do the callbacks?" I'd asked, crossing my fingers, holding my breath.

I watched him contemplate. Part of me really wanted him to say yes, but part of me predicted he would say no- I mean the whole fiasco yesterday... I'm sure he'd much rather play basketball with his team than go do some callback with a nobody...

"Just call me freaky callback boy."

Wow.

Our eyes met and for a moment, I thought maybe, just maybe, he can see the real me, like I see the real him.

He was just a guy with aspirations and expectations he fears he might not be able to fulfill. He was a good son. He was a responsible leader. Most importantly, he was a true friend.

"You're a cool guy, Troy. But not for the reasons your friends think."

He ducked his head, embarrassed.

Hmm... He was modest too.

"And thanks for showing me your top secret hiding place, like kindergarten."

We managed to share a smile before the bell intruded into our moment. Damn.

I grabbed his hand and we dashed down the stairs. I was grateful that the prospect of being late for class cured my weak knees when we touched.

"Oh, and Gabriella?" I looked up at him while we were still running, noticing how much taller he was.

"Come back up anytime, okay?"

I grinned and nodded.

Well, well. Who knew that Troy Bolton was also very generous?

A/N: Hola again! Okay, it wasn't that bad right? My hols are coming to an end and I have less time to update... unless of course... (grins evilly)

REVIEW!
