It was 20 years ago. It lasted 30 seconds. 30 seconds, that were unforgettable to me, no matter how hard I tried. I say I've moved on, but a part of me will always be back there, to those unbelieveable 30 seconds.

I've been under ropes my whole life, tied down to this perfect life. But she showed me what I could be. She pulled my hand onto that big brown stage with those lights beaming off of her perfect blonde hair, and she showed me that I could be great. I didn't have to be someone's toy.

In the beginning, I didn't get it. I was scared, it was new, and I wasn't used to that feeling I got. So I went along with it, not minding. But it was halfway through that song, when the music blasted, my blood boiled, and she looked me straight in the eye, saying, 'you are the music in me.' I let it go.

I let it all go and I dropped my guard for the first time ever. I picked up that microphone and sang my heart out, I danced and I sang, and I didn't give a care or a damn about anything else. About the friends I lost, or about the girlfriend I lost, or about living up to that perfect statue my dad wants me to be.

All that I saw was her. All that I cared about in the heat of that moment, was her. Getting lost in her eyes, imagining us holding hands, imagining her lips on mine, and imagining us falling asleep together on a cool patch of grass. And I could tell she was thinking the same thing.

But that moment left, and she turned away from me, as if saying, 'not now, Troy.' She turned around and sang to one of her Sharpettes. And I was left standing there, my mind racing, and all those horrible thoughts of my friends, girlfriend, and father flooding back.

I've never had a moment like that again in my life. I always wanted to...but at the same time I didn't. Because that was a special thing that connected me to her. That was how I knew that there was still hope for me in the future. That I could run away now and be with her. I knew she would take me.

But I didn't, because I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy that leaves his family for that blonde, exotic, beautiful girl.

But I want to be.

It has been FOREVER since I have been on here. I am no longer writing long stories, I am redoing my entire account and I will be writing Oneshots every once in a while. I had a freaky obsession with HSM a while back, but I got over it, and now I have a freaky obsession with Brooke White from American Idol and Kaley Cuoco from 8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory.

This story was just something that popped in my head, and I know that a part of me will always be that girl that was in love with High School Musical -- and Troypay.

XoXo,

Izzy.
