Hi! This is only my first fanfic so don't be too harsh on me! I just thought that it would be fun to write my own story instead of just reading the ones from others.
It was freezing cold when he stepped out of the plane, he didn't realize how cold it was until he heard a girls voice speak
"Troy, you're shivering…".
"Oh, yeah… I guess we'd better get to the car" Troy said, immediately sinking back in thoughts. They grabbed their bags and walked to the car. They walked next to each other, both silent. Troy was thinking about what he would say to those people. 'They had never met, and it would be weird to just ring their doorbell and tell them that he….' Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by Rosanna.
"Troy"
silence…
"TROY!!"
"Sorry Rose, what were you saying?" He looked over to his girlfriend and smiled to her. She was a beautiful girl, but somehow something was missing. He never really thought about it before, but now he was back in Albuquerque he couldn't help but to wonder how Gabriella was doing.
"What are you thinking about honey? Nervous?"
"Yeah, I am pretty nervous actually. Ever since my 18th birthday I've wanted to meet them."
When they got into the car and started driving Troy got more and more nervous, the moment that he was going to meet them was coming closer and closer.
Rosanna just nodded and looked at him. She could see he was really nervous, she had never seen him like this before.
He actually looked kind of cute when he was nervous…
Troy was watching Rosanna and smiled at her. She felt his eyes on her, she turned back and was looking in his beautiful baby-blue eyes. Even after all these years that they had been together she still was amazed by their beautiful colour, she could just stare into them for hours, almost as if she drowned in them. Then he suddenly turned away from her. She just noticed the sad look that had been in her eyes.
"So I guess this is where we are supposed to be." Troy said while he was looking at a huge hotel. It was a beautiful hotel situated in the centre of Albuquerque.
HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM
"Troy I'm starving, let's get something to eat!"
"Sure Rose. Afterwards we could maybe walk around the city, I'd love to see if the city has changed. And, if you're behaving really well…" he added while he started grinning "we might even go shopping."
"Of course we are going shopping because I need new clothes."
"You just bought yourself a lot of new clothes two weeks ago…" Troy said while looking at his girlfriend with a strange look on his face. It was kind of funny actually how she would never stop shopping and buying new clothes.
"I know Troy. Well that's just how I am right, I ALWAYS need new clothes." She said grinning.
"Haha ok, well let's go then."
HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM
After they had had their lunch they went shopping. Troy immediately remembered why he was always trying to avoid shopping with Rosanna. She would always run from one shop to another buying everything that she saw. It was not that they couldn't afford it, but he just thought it was useless to buy so many things, and just don't use it.
After shopping Troy was really tired, they had been shopping for hours, and of course he had been the one carrying all the things she had bought. Well, as long as Rosanna liked shopping he would have to put up with it, and besides, it was good that it made Rosanna happy. She was always much happier when she had shopped, and he liked her when she was happy more than when she was the stuck up, grumpy person that she could be sometimes.
She had come here with him to support him and the least he could do was doing things that she enjoyed.
"So Troy, are you ready for tomorrow?"
"Well, as ready as I can be I suppose."
"you'll be fine sweetheart"
"Yeah, I hope so."
She noticed a change in Troy since they had got here, he was acting so different from what she was used from him. Usually he was always really sweet towards her, always doing whatever she wanted to do, but today he acted like he didn't really notice she was there. He hadn't given her one of his world famous smiles today, no kiss, no sweet words whispered in her ear… But then again, who could blame him, he was probably really nervous for what was about to come.
Troy was just thinking about his years in Albuquerque. This afternoon when they had been walking through the city, they had been at places that he always used to go to with his friends. It brought back good memories, them laughing, going to the cinema together, hanging out, sometimes he just missed those times.
FLASHBACK
Troy was just walking through the park when he heard somebody yell at him "Troy!!!" he looked behind him and saw a beautiful girl with brown curly hair running up to him.
"Hey Gabi, how are ya?" he asked his girlfriend.
"I'm fine, so what are you doing here alone Troy?"
"oh you know, just thinking." He softly replied
"Thinking about what?" she asked him
"About how beautiful you are" he told her while smiling at her. She really was beautiful, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her brown curly hair, her petite frame, her eyes, just everything about her. He didn't realize that he had been staring at her.
"what?" she asked him.
"Oh, nothing honey." He leaned into her and kissed her, softly at first, but he soon deepened it. The rest of the day they had just been walking and talking, until she had to go home.
FLASHBACK
He smiled at this thought. Then he realised that Rosanna was giving him a weird look.
"So honey, what were you thinking of?"
"Oh nothing, just how we used to hang out with friends, and how great my high school time actually had been."
Rosanna just nodded, he never really talked much about high school, and his friends back then. The only one he was still in contact with was his best friend, Chad Danforth. Sure, she knew some things, about basketball, and that they used to hang out with all their friends, but as soon as she started to ask more about them he just stopped the conversation. She knew there was something he didn't want to talk about, and she had actually considered asking Chad about it, but she thought that it wouldn't really be important, so she just didn't think about it anymore.

That night they just stayed at the hotel, since tomorrow would probably be a long and exhausting day. They turned on the radio, and sat down on the couch. Troy couldn't believe what he was hearing on the radio;
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today we have a special guest on our show, please welcome; Kelsi Neilson!! Tonight Kelsi will tell you something more about herself, but first she'll tell us which of the songs she has written she likes most, and why that is."
"Hey guys! As you know I'm Kelsi, and you're now going to listen to my favourite song, before I'm gonna tell you about it. It has never been on the radio before, so get ready for the premiere of my favourite song!"
Troy suddenly heard some very familiar tones coming out of the radio…
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
He couldn't actually believe that he heard himself singing on the radio, he was shocked… He did like it though, it was such a long time ago that he heard the song, and he loved hearing Gabi's voice.
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
He softly started to sing along. Rosanna noticed this and was wondering how he could know the song, since Kelsi had said this was the premiere of the song…
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free
Ohhhh
Troy felt happy, hearing Gabi and him sing together made him feel like he was just back in high school again.
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see
Now Troy started to sing louder, singing his heart out, forgetting about everything that was around him, not caring that his girlfriend was looking at him, only thinking about the song.
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Ohhhh runnin'
Climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free
Ohhh , yeah
Troy's smile grew bigger and bigger as the song continued, he remembered every step that he and Gabriella took on the stage, first at the call backs, when the whole school had been listening, and later when they had performed the musical. Thinking about the call backs made him grin slightly, it was so great to sing up that stage, and finally be able to be himself. And his friends… well they all reacted a lot better than he could have ever hoped for.
More than hope
More than faith
This is true
This is fate
And together
We see it comin'
More than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free
Soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Breaking free
Were runnin'
Ohhhh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
Ohhh, we're breaking free
Ohhhh
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
When the song was finished he was silent for a while, just thinking about Gabriella, the musical, and high school. Then Kelsi started talking again, and his thoughts were interrupted by her.
"So, I really think this is the best song that I have written so far, and the people that performed it were so great. I wrote it for a musical when I was in high school. The version that you just heard was live, I recorded it while they were singing on stage."
"Kelsi, who were the people singing the song? They really have amazing voices!"
"Yeah they do have amazing voices I totally agree with you! But I'm not sure if I should tell their names, since I don't want to interrupt their privacy, and they don't even know that I recorded it."
Rosanna turned of the radio while she started talking to Troy. "Wow Troy, you know, you have an amazing voice. You should really sing more often!"
"Ooh, well thanks, I guess." He replied shyly
"So how come you know the song while today was its premiere?
"Well, Kelsi and I have been in high school together, and she wrote this for the spring musical, so that's how I know the song."
"WHAT!!! You went to school with THE Kelsi Neilson, and you didn't even tell me about it!" Rosanna said squeaking.
"Uhm, I guess, why?"
"Why?!! She is only like the most famous composer in the whole US…!!!"
"Ooh, really? Sorry, don't listen to the radio that often, Haha." He replied
"Wow that's pretty cool Troy"
"Well Rose, I think we should go sleeping, we have a lot to do tomorrow. I'm finally going to meet them, I can't wait!"
"Yeah, good night honey."
So what did you think of it? Please review and tell me if you liked it, or what I could change! Should I continue writing? What did you think about the story itself? hehe lol does any of you have an idea about who he might visit?
