Here is "Could It Be" by Christy Carlson Romano.

Troy and Gabriella has known each other since they were young. Her family moved to Albuquerque when she was 3. Their neighbor is the Bolton's. They grew up together. There are moments when they would speak of the future. Troy would always respond that he sees the future with her.

Know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something new

When Gabriella broke up with her boyfriend, Troy was there to comfort her. When it was Troy who had suffered from heart break, Gabriella was there for him. They were too dense to see that they are deeply in love with each other. The one they were looking for was right there beside them.

and after all this time I opened up my eyes
now I see you were always with me

When they went to college, they were separated. They promised each other that no matter what happens they would still communicate with each other. During the first few months, they were constantly e-mailing each other, writing to each other, and texting each other. But as the months passed they communicated less with each other. Then it turned to occasional letter or e-mail. It stopped after a year.
could it be you & I
never imagined

Troy became a NBA star after graduation. His dream came true to play professional basketball. He played for the Lakers. He was always surrounded by his fans and supporters. He always thought to himself what happened if he actually kept in touch with Gabriella. He always remembers their after game ritual during high school.

FLASHBACK

Troy was looking for Gabriella in the court. They had won. Then he saw her standing in the middle of the court waiting for him with a smile in her face. She was proud that Troy had won. She made her way through the crowd and congratulated the person waiting in the half court. She was surprised when Troy hugged her and said "you're my good luck charm Brie"
could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that its true
Its you and its you
Gabriella became a famous singer. She remembered the times she spent with Troy. She missed those times. Troy would always show up during the shoe night of the musicals she performed after the 1st show ended, he would wait for her in her dressing room with a bouquet of her favorite flower. She was saddened because of the way she and Troy never kept in touch. She did not know that it will all change. She remembered the song "Could It Be" by Christy Carlson Romano. She started singing it while in walking.
Its kinda funny you were always near
but who would ever thought we'd end up here
and everytime I need you you've been there for me
now its clear I've been waiting for you

[Chorus:
could it be you & I
never imagined
could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that its true
Its you and its you

cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes
and its real/and its true
Its just me and you
could it be that its you

She bumped into someone familiar. She looked up and found a pair of mesmerizing ultramarine blue eyes that she knows all too well.

"Troy" she breathed.

"Brie, I can't believe that it's you. I haven't seen you for a long time." Said Troy

. They talked for a long time that is when both of them realized their true feeling for each other. They went to the park.

"Troy, I've got something to tell you" said Gabriella

"I've got something to tell you to Brie" responded Troy

"I love you Brie. All the time we spent apart I missed you. After the games I played, I always missed our after game rituals. That's when it hit me. I fell for you. You are the light beneath the darkness" said Troy.

"I love you too Troy" said Gabriella/

Their lips met and fireworks exploded behind them. They pulled back and sang the last part of the song Gabriella was singing.

[Chorus:
could it be you & I
never imagined
could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew

could it be that its true
Its you and its you
