A/N: ok here is the first love story. Kelsi and Jason obviously, I hope you enjoy it.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kelsi's POV
I was sure that I wasn't going to enjoy tonight, I'm not one for being stuck in a loud over-crowed area with strangers. I would rather be at home playing my piano. In fact I had brought a CD with some of my compositions on it, just in case I managed to sneak away from the party and find a quiet room with a computer, I could try to improve my songs.
We had met Sharpay's brother and he seemed nice apart from his strange taste in clothes. We had also just seen some other guys who for some reason had been introduced to Sharpay. I was watching them walk away through the crowd of people, my eyes following the shortest one, who I'm sure had been looking at me, when Sharpay's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"So, who wants to dance?"
"There's no way." Taylor said.
"Don't look at me." I said. There was nothing that would make me go into that surging crowd.
Sharpay now turned hopefully to Gabriella, who sighed.
"Fine, come on then."
They walked into the crowd, leaving me and Taylor in the hall.
"So…." I said. I had no idea what we were supposed to do now.
"Let's get a drink."
Taylor led me over to a table with soft drink and beer cans on it. I saw Troy Bolton, the "hot" guy of Sharpay's, in a heavy make out session with some blonde girl. We grabbed two cans of coke. With nothing else to do we walked over to a corner and started to drink them.
"Hey, Kels, did you see that guy, who was standing behind Troy before?" She asked me, sipping her drink.
Oh no, I thought, please don't let her like him. I had been so sure he was looking at me. I don't even know why it worried me. It was not like I could ever have a chance with him. But Taylor could, she was pretty and so smart, oh god, what would I do if she talked to him. Wow I must like him, how stupid, I had never even spoken to him. I suddenly realised that I still hadn't answered. What could I say? She would know straight away that I liked him, wait wasn't there more then that one guy behind Troy. Yea, there was.
"Ummm, which one?" Yes, that was good. She couldn't know anything from that could she?
"The dark one, with the big hair." She replied.
Yes! She was talking about someone else. Relief washed over me, I couldn't believe that some guy I didn't even know as making me feel like this.
"What about him?" I asked, getting interested now that I knew she didn't like the guy I did. Was she about to tell me that she liked this other guy?
"His name is Chad. He used to be Ryan's best friend. You know how Sharpay and I were friends when we were little? Well we used to hang out together, the four of us. Ryan, Chad, Sharpay and me." She said.
"Oh, cool. Is it weird seeing him now?"
"Yeah, it's been years. You know I used to… oh my god!" suddenly Taylor stopped talking and was staring at something behind me. I turned around and saw the guy we had just been talking about walking towards us. He was actually pretty cute. But nothing compared to his friend. Chad came up and smiled at Taylor.
"Hey, it's Taylor right?" he asked. Taylor looked speechless, which was really unusual. I nudged her because she was just staring at him. She came to herself again and blushed slightly.
"Yeah. Hi, Chad."
"Do you want to get a drink or something?" he asked her.
"Sure, I'm finished this one." Taylor handed me her almost full coke can and started walking away with Chad. Then she turned around.
"Oh, Kelsi, do you want to come?"
"No don't worry about me, I'll be fine." She went off with Chad, leaving me there by myself. I really wanted to say, No don't leave me. But that would sound so pathetic, and I didn't want to ruin her chances with this Chad guy. I heard the sound of yelling from the dance room but decided not to worry about it. I put both of our drinks on the mantle piece above an empty fire place and went to search for a computer.
I pushed past people and I saw him again, the gorgeous guy who was a friend of Troy and Chad. He looked straight at me, and I felt myself blushing. I finally got out of the room and began to walk down a long corridor. As I looked into each room, I saw more bedrooms then any one could ever need. Some were occupied and I didn't open any closed doors just in case. I stopped outside one which was slightly open, but then kept going when I heard someone talk inside. I even thought I heard Gabriella's voice behind a closed door. But I knew that couldn't be right. I was almost out of doors when I found a small study. I walked in and turned on the surprisingly simple computer. I got out my CD and put it into the computer. I started to listen to my songs, using the music program, which was the same as mine, to change bits where it didn't sound quiet right. I had my eyes closed listening and humming under my breath. The party sound was quite faint, but I suddenly heard a cough right behind me.
My eyes snapped open and I swung around in the chair to see him, leaning against the door frame, looking at me. OH MY GOD! What was he doing here? How long had he been here? I must look like such an idiot! He walked into the room and sat down in the chair next to mine.
"Hey, I'm Jason. Your one of Sharpay's friends aren't you? From West High?" he asked me looking right at me.
All I could do is nod. Wow, Jason, I never realised what a great name that was. And it fit him perfectly. Finally I found my voice.
"I'm K-Kelsi." He smiled at me.
"Hello Kelsi. These compositions are amazing, did you write them?" Was he talking about my compositions? I couldn't believe he liked them. They were so not rap or rock or anything that I thought a guy like him would like.
"Yes I did. I can't believe you like them."
"What you think you have got me all figured out?" he laughed and my heart soared.
"I'm sure there's a lot you don't know about me Kelsi. Like how I appreciate any music that has talent behind it."
"Sorry, I just didn't think you would enjoy this." I can't believe I was having a full conversation with this totally cute guy.
"Well, I do. But do you mind if I try something?" he asked me. I shook my head. He could ask if I minded him killing my parents and I don't think I'd object. God this was pathetic, I was completely love struck.
He started opening other music programs and began remixing one of my compositions. It had the same melody but he added a drum and guitar line. I couldn't believe it but it sounded really good.
"Wow." I said, he looked at me and smiled.
"You like it? I'm pretty into music myself. But I can't play an instrument as well as you, I just work with these music programs. Why don't we put this on the speaker and see what people think?"
I had been staring at him, lost in those eyes, when I realised what he had said. Oh no, there is no way I could let other people hear my music. Now it only sounded a bit like my original piece, but still. Sharpay, Taylor and Gabriella were the only ones who had ever heard my songs and now Jason of course.
"No, I can't play people my music." I said, realising how horrified I sounded. He looked confused.
"Why not?" he asked.
Normally I would never open up to someone I had just met. But somehow I fully trusted Jason. So I decided to tell him the truth. But I couldn't look at him while I did. I didn't want him to see how upset I was.
"Because, what if people don't like them? W-what if they laugh?"
I couldn't believe it, but I could feel tears start to run down my face. It was true, my secret fear was rejection. If I made a complete idiot of myself, I knew I wouldn't be able to deal with it. I was pathetically insecure. Suddenly I felt Jason put his hand on my chin, he pushed my face up so I was looking at him. He wiped away my tears gently with his thumb.
"People will like them. I promise." he said.
"How do you know?" I whispered. He looked straight into my eyes and spoke softly.
"Because you're amazing, Kelsi."
Then he leaned forward and kissed me, so carefully. I couldn't believe it. This was the most amazing feeling ever. Slowly I kissed him back. It ended all too soon. He broke away and took my hand.
"So, will you play this music for everyone to love?"
"Okay."
He got the CD out of the computer and pulled me with him into the main room. He got up to the DJ and asked if he could take over. The DJ just walked off and Jason seemed to know how to work all of the equipment. He put my CD in and talked over the microphone.
"Hey everybody, are you all having a good time? Of course you are, but it's about to get better, coz I've got some really great new music for you."
Most people had looked up when the previous music had stopped, but they were screaming while Jason talked. A lot of them seemed to know him, he must be pretty popular. I hardly recognised anyone, but I did see Sharpay. She was laughing and talking to a tall dark guy. She seemed to be trying to get him to dance with her. Jason started my CD, and for a moment I was terrified that people would hate it, but then they started dancing. And I heard people commenting that it sounded cool! I got on the DJ stand and hugged Jason.
"Wow, they like it! Thank you so much, Jason." I said excitedly. He hugged me back.
"I told you they would, Kelsi." He broke from the hug and once again pushed his lips against mine.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
