'CONGRATS WILDCATS!' read the huge banner draped across the Bolton's back doorway. It was just after the triple victory and the after party- hosted in the Bolton's backyard- was in full swing. People were dancing, chatting about their favorite parts of the game and generally having a good time. Troy was receiving theatrical advice from Ryan and Gabrielle was listening to Taylor blabber on about how hot Chad was. To Taylor's delight Chad suddenly appeared holding a microphone up on a stage like construction that had been set up on the patio.
"Hey everyone, we thought it was only fitting that we had some kind of musical entertainment from our captain and now-musical-lead Troy" There was cheers and laughs from the crowd
Chad continued, "So we've hired a karaoke machine!"
Troy was now shaking his head at the ground and chuckling to himself
"So here he is, our MVP! But not without his partner-in-crime" Chad laughed, gesturing to Gabriella
"Oh no!" Gabriella giggled as Taylor pushed her towards the stage
As she waited for Troy to join her she couldn't help but check out the cute smile he was wearing on the face that she found so attractive. When he got there she smiled sweetly at him. They hadn't actually talked since she had congratulated him back at the game. They seemed to get interrupted every time they tried to be alone. He smiled back and pushed the randomize button on the machine.
Instantly the music started up. No one else in the crowd knew the significance of the song that had been selected. Troy looked up from the machine in amazement and gazed into Gabriella's eyes.
"Who would've thought?" he said quietly. Then started singing the familiar words he had sung just a couple of weeks previously.
Living inmyownworld
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Gabriella couldn't help but smile as she let her part escape her lips
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart (oh)
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel inmy heart
The start of something new
Oh, yeah,
Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
Yeah, And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
Troy took hold of Gabriella's hand and pulled her in closer to him. They were now only singing towards each other, the crowd felt so far away.
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel inmy heart
The start of something new
The only people who knew that this song was the reason that they were standing on that stage were Troy and Gabriella. And both of them felt like this moment belonged to them, it was there secret that only they could understand.
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
but now it's easy to see (Ohh)
It's a start of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel inmy heart
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel inmy heart
Troy cupped Gabriella's face in his free hand. Neither of them caring that over a hundred people were watching them. He didn't break his strong eye contact with her. Gabriella felt his knees go weak at the touch of his hand cooling her warm cheeks.
The start of something new
The start of something new
Start of something new
On the last note, Troy immediately closed the remaining gap between them, catching her in a soft, sweet kiss. When they pulled away everyone was whistling and jeering but neither Troy nor Gabriella cared, they had each other now and that was all that mattered.
Troy rested his forehead on hers and whispered "Our song"
Gabriella smiled and nodded "Our song"
