Author's note- This is my first 'High School Musical' story. I hope you all enjoy. If anyone is interested in reading it, that is. If you do, Cheers. Enjoy. Good feedback is appreciated.

Prologue-

As a child, you were able to grow up with the ability of having an imagination. Wether it be a wild one, a fantasy one, or a calm and collective one. Many children often dreamed or pretended they were princesses being saved by their knight in shining amour, or a fireman playing around in the backyard with their friends with the garden hose. Wether it be from something extraordinaire or something normal. Every child had their imagination to hold onto. Even adults sometimes imagine that their something their not. That their happy in the loveless marriage their in. That their content with the boring job they work at.

But there's one thing that every child or every adult always thinks about. Love. Wether people like to believe it or not, love is a feeling and emotion everyone feels once in a lifetime. Either it be from a family member or who you think to be the love of your life. Everyone is loved. And the feeling love is held within the heart. Your heart can hold so many emotions. It can hold onto so much love. People say that they find their soul mate, their love of their life, their kindred spirit, but do they really? Is there someone out there willing to love one other person with their whole heart? Can you ever get over your first love? Can you find another love after your think you've lost the greatest one you'll ever have? Is there really someone you can love forever?

For the young, mature Gabriella Montez, she grew up believing that some handsome prince would ride up to her balcony and declare his love for her. She imagined being happy with that one person her whole life. That no matter what obstacle came across them, they would battle it on together and come out stronger than before. She also became aware that your imagination is just that. Your imagination. After hearing that your dreams or wishes never came true by her own parents, she then knew that she had to stop thinking that life was one big fairytale. That she could no longer be whisked off her feet by a tall and handsome man. Her parents use to tell her all those Disney type fairytales. Letting her believe that something like that could happen. Yet once realizing that they both did not love each other all that they thought they did, they both turned to their work. Both told their one child that fairytales was not something to believe in anymore, that she had to grow up. So from age 14, Gabriella already knew that life wasn't going to go by her dreams. That she would believe her two workaholic parents and think nothing of being in what she used to admire, love. That was until when she turned 18, that her life was going to be turned upside down by someone she never would have expected.

For Troy Bolton, he thought he did have the love of his life. He thought he had his life planned out by still the young age of 19. He would forever be married with his High Sweetheart. Create a family with her. Grow old with her. That was until shortly after turning 25, he came home one day to be told that his dream was no longer going to last. That the love of his life did not want to continue on with him. He then broke. Formed a cold wall over his once loving, warm, beating heart. But she hurt him. She denied him. She betrayed him. She broke Troy Bolton. So he ran. He ran far away from her. He flew the 1,974 miles between Boston and Albuquerque. He took up the job offer the local High School offered him. He enjoyed teaching. He enjoyed being able to teach people what he knew, what he loved. English Literature. He majored in Basketball once when he was younger, even was accepted into the NBA, but he gave that all up for what he thought was the love of his life. He changed for her. Now he changed again because of her. Her- being the one person he thought he could never get over. But like our leading lady, he didn't know that his life was going to change either, for both of them, their lives were going to become a whole lot more different.

I hope this was good or acceptable by some, for my first. This prologue gives off some sort of their past. Which will be later told in much more details further along the story. If you've read this and enjoyed it, please tell me what you think. Don't really care about reviews, just like to hear people's opinion. Although I wouldn't mind them LOL. All good hopefully.
I will also add that I have no idea if it is indeed 1,974 miles between Albuquerque and Boston. I live in Australia, so I do not have alot of knowledge of USA goegraphical areas. So I google-d for this info. Hopefully it's somewhat true. Knowing my luck, might not be. (lol). Anyway, so for future references, I apoligize if I have the wrong information about anything I write. If a reader from America, tells me otherwise about anything I write about their country I will happily change it.
Cheers.
