Something Like You- Chapter One

Troy Bolton looked at his girlfriend of three years and knew that tonight would be a night that he would remember for the rest of his life.

'What did I ever do to deserve her? She's everything I ever wanted or needed and one hundred times more,' he thought. Then a familiar song came to his mind and he started singing it aloud to her sleeping form.

So many times, I thought I had it in my hands,

But just like grains of sand,

Love slipped through my fingers,

And so many nights I asked the lord above,

Please make me lucky enough

To find a love that lingers.

In Troy's mind, that's what his love life had seemed like. He was popular and could have had any girl that he wanted to in school. But he just wanted something more meaningful in a relationship. Not just someone who liked him for his popularity.

Something keeps telling me,

That you could be my answered prayer,

You must be heaven sent I swear, cause,

Then that night at the ski lodge. He knew that from the moment that they started singing, she was his answered prayer. Her voice had captivated him before he even looked at her face. He always told her that that a side bonus. And when she came to East High, he knew for sure, with all his heart that she was the one.

Something happens when you look at me I forget to speak,

Something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak,

Could it be true, is this what God has meant for me,

Cause baby I can't believe,

That something like you could happen to me.

Gabriella stirred lightly at his singing. His voice was so calming and reassuring to her. She loved to hear him sing. Especially this song. She looked into his eyes as he continued.

Girl in your eyes, I feel you fire burn,

All your secrets I will learn,

Even if it takes forever,

With you by my side,

I can handle anything,

I don't care what tomorrow brings

As long as we're together

Both of their hearts ached at that verse. For them it no longer held truth. Tomorrow both of them would be heading to opposite sides of the country for college. She was going to NYU and him to USC. Troy was going on a full ride for basketball and Gabriella was going on a full ride for theater.

My heart is telling me,

That you could be my answered prayer,

I know it more each time we touch

Even though they were going to be so far apart, they were going to try it. Even as busy as they were going to be, they were going to try and make it as a couple. Nothing was going to tear them apart if they couldn't help it.

Something happens when you look at me I forget to speak,

Something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak,

Could it be true, is this what God has meant for me,

Cause baby I can't believe, that something like you could happen to me.

Gabriella couldn't help but let her tears fall. She had heard him sing this song before, but right now as they both laid in his bed, the words meant so much more.

Something magical, something spiritual,

Something stronger than the two of us alone,

Something physical, something undeniable,

Nothing like anything that I've ever known,

That night, they had done the most sacred thing in any relationship. They had made love for the first time, for either of them. And it had been wonderful. They always wanted their firsts to be with the one that they loved. They wanted it to be special. And now, as Troy sang, it made it all the more better.

Something happens when you look at me I forget to speak,

Something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak,

Could it be true, is this what God has meant for me

Cause baby I can't believe no oh whoa

That something like you,

That something like you could happen to me.

They laid in his bed the rest of the night, wondering what the future would bring. Not really wanting the night to ever end. But they made a pact, that no matter how hard it was, they were going to make it for four years and that one day, they were going to be together for the rest of their lives.

Troy embraced her and held her close before he finally whispered the last line of the song into her ear.

I can't believe that you happened to me.

There it is! I hope that you guys like it. Like I said, I'm working on the next chapter. Just so you know, I have about 12 more chapters of this written out, but they are ROUGH.
