You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
That's me: the girl on the stage. You probably know who I am. I mean everyone does after my secret got out. In case you don't, my name is Miley Stewart also known as Hannah Montana. Does that sound familiar to you by any chance? So how did I wind up Broadway? Well let me take you back to the beginning.
I was performing on Chicago, outdoors. I started to sing my new song You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home when The Windy City decided it had other plans. A gust came by causing my blonde wig to fly right off. I had no choice but to reveal my identity before the press did. Then I did the professional thing and finished the concert doing a few songs I had written that didn't seem to fit Hannah. That was the last time I performed in concert. It wasn't long after that I received a call from Kenny Ortega. It turned out he wanted me for his Broadway production of High School Musical. He said that he had always wanted me but had reservations due to the fact that my hair was blonde. I had recently just turned 18. I remember what it was like when I left Malibu.
I brought my suitcase downstairs. My dad, my brother Jackson and my two best friends Oliver and Lilly were downstairs.
"Are you sure that you want to do this now?" Dad asked. "If mean you could wait until after you graduate or I could I go with you."
"I'm sure Daddy." I said. "I have to go off on my own someday. Now is as good of a time as ever."
At least that's how I pictured it would go. In reality it went more like this.
"Are you sure this is how you want to do this?" Lilly asked me as she held a camera to a shot of me holding my guitar.
"Yeah I can't wait for them and I would rather leave this than a note." I said. "Are you filming?"
"Yeah." Lilly said.
"Hi Dad, Jackson. If either of you is watching this, it means I've made the decision to go off to New York on my own. I've bought a penthouse and enrolled myself in TribeccaPrep School. I wish you could be around but I can't wait. I'm gonna sing one last song for you guys."
My eyes are opened wide
By the way I've made it through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today.
I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved
Said "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappears
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Tell my brother tell my father
I've the best I've can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance.
After Lilly finished with the video, she called Oliver over who was also her boyfriend. I had once liked Oliver but then they ended up hooking up while I was filming a movie. I knew that I had lost all chances when Lilly discovered that she was pregnant. I gave both of them and a hug as I took my suitcase and drove toward the airport. It kind of hurt not being able to say goodbye but I knew that my dad would forgive me eventually. He had basically forbid me from going but I couldn't pass it up. So while he was playing a show with Keith Urban, I went into my account which I could access now that I was eighteen and paid for the both the ticket and the penthouse. Jackson was away at work and had idea that I was leaving. He was also against it. But the main thing that drove me away was the fact that my boyfriend Jake had a bit of an inferiority complex. He liked me when I was Miley but he couldn't deal with the fact that I had become more famous then him and he cheated on me with both Amber Addison and Ashley DeWitt. Plus school had become too crazy now that everyone knew I was a star.
So I finished my song with Jesse McCartney, who was playing Troy before we went into our final number and the curtain. I didn't stay for the opening night party because I had a big day tomorrow. I was about to start my first day at Tribecca Prep. I laid my uniform out and went to bed.
So I decided to write a Miley/Alex story. I went through several scenarios before deciding on this one. I know that Tribecca Prep School doesn't have uniforms but I think they should because they are a prep school. Actually the school is slightly different so it has more of a private school feel. Anyway Alex will be appearing in the next chapter.
