"Come on, Troy!" Mrs.Bolton screamed up the stairs.

"Why do we even have to go?" Troy asked coming down the stairs.

"Because they are our relative. Anyways, arent you excited to see Mary Ann?" his dad replied.

"Uh, no? One, she's ten. Two, she's a girl," Troy said.

"Come on, let's go before we're late," Mrs.Bolton said.

"We're going next door, over to the Bolton's," Ms.Montez told her daughter.

"Why? They're so snotty," Gabriella whined.

"Come on, hun. Make the best of it before we go to Albuquerque," Ms.Montez said.

Bolton's Residents-Santa Fe

"Hey, Gabriella. Merry Christamas," Mary Ann's mom said.

Gabriella faked a smile, and then went downstairs to read a book and listen to her iPod on the couch as the adults went into the kitchen to talk.

After Dinner-Basement

"Let's play a game. Everyone put their name in the hat, and then we'll dare them to do something," Mary Ann suggested handing out paper.

Fifteen minutes later

"The last pair is Troy and Gabriella," Mary Ann announced.

Troy looked away from the t.v. screen and said a bit loudly, "What the? I didn't even put my name in that hat."

"I did," Mary ann said cheerfully.

Mary Ann and her friends huddled together to come up with a dare.

"Okay, we dare you two to sing," Mary Ann smirked.

"To what?" Troy screamed jumping to his feet.

"To sing," Mary Ann repeated.

"I'd rather run to the church and back," Troy muttered to himself.

"Hmm...good idea. Go run to the church and back," Mary Ann said.

"What!" Troy said.

"Hey, you suggested it. Now out," Mary Ann shooed.

As Troy started to go up the stairs, Mary Ann called, "With Gabriella!"

Troy rolled his eyes as a girl slowly followed holding a book, and her iPod sticking out of her pocket.

As the two passed by a bench, Troy got an idea.

"Why not I run to the church, and you stay here. The church is like five blocks down, so you might want to stay here anyways," Troy suggested.

"Sure..." Gabriella said sitting down.

Two hours later

Gabriella was humming to "The Start of Something New" on her iPod, as Troy came panting down the sidewalk.

"Living in my own world, didn't understand. That anything can happen, when we take a chance," Troy sang quietly with her humming without really noticing it.

Gabriella took off her headphones, and looked at him. As the song still played in the background, Gabriella sang, "I never believed in, what I couldn't see. I never opened my heart... "

"Ooooohhhhhh"

"...To all the possibilites. Oooooooo"

As they sang in the song, they started to walk back to the Bolton's house in Santa Fe.

Silence filled the air as the song finished.

"I never thought a basketball star would sing," Gabriella thought outloud.

"Me neither," Troy said.

"Huh? Did I just say that out loud?" Gabriella said shyly.

Troy smiled, "Yeah. You did."

"Sorry," Gabriella said embaressed.

"It's okay. I never thought I could actually sing sing, you know." Troy said with a chuckle.

"Me neither," Gabriella gave a nervous chuckle.

"You have a great voice," Troy complimented.

"You too," Gabriella said.

"There you guys are! Troy, we're leaving in a minute," Troy's mom said at the door.

"You know, if we had just done Mary Ann's dare, we wouldnt have loss so much energy," Troy as they sat on the steps to the house.

"Hey, it was your idea. Not mine," Gabriella defended.

Troy laughed.

"Gabriella," Ms.Montez called from the side door as she walked up the Montez's house's steps.

"I have to go," Gabriella told him.

"I'll call you," Troy said pulling out his cellphone from his jacket pocket.

"Yeah!" Gabriella said doing the same.

After phone numbers were entered into each other's cellphones, Gabriella went home.

Troy watched as Gabriella closed the door, then looked back at the picture of her on his cellphone.

"Gabriella."
