Troy got up onto the stage and…He looked down at the crowd as a song began to play, Troy groaned and looked at Chad as he recognized the song that was playing. Chad just laughed and put his arm around Taylor. Troy looked down at Gabriella; he smiled at her then sang.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

He smiled as a pause in the music came; it was such an odd song but still one of Troy's favorites. He looked around at the room as he laughed and saw Sharpay start waving her arms in the air to the slow song but then stopped as Zeke asked her to dance. Sharpay blushed and nodded, shooting a happy look at Gabby and Taylor.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, not dead

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated; I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Troy slowly relaxed and let the music sweep over him as he got to the chorus again.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead,
I tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing that you said.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your life………

As the song ended Troy stepped down from the stage and next to his friends as everyone congratulated him on his great job with the song. Troy just laughed them off and looked around for Gabriella. Troy turned around as he felt eyes on him, and he was met head on by Gabriella, she was standing about 2 inches away from him, as another slow song came on. It was "You and Me" by Lifehouse. (By the way I love that song it's one of my favorites, it's the one that I danced with my crush too…) Troy motioned toward the dance floor with his head, Gabby nodded and they stepped out as Troy wrapped his arms around her waist and hers around his neck. They slowly swayed to the song.

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Troy looked into her chocolate brown eyes as they both moved in closer together. Gabriella leaned her head on Troy's shoulder as the song progressed.

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

Troy couldn't believe how lucky he was to have someone as beautiful, talented, and smart as Gabriella. She was perfect, to him, in every single way. He just hoped that he was good enough for her.

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

The song ended and Gabby looked up at Troy, they both leaned forward and slowly, softly their lips met. It was soft and sweet and perfect for their first kiss. Gabby gently pulled away and smiled at Troy; he smiled and blushed back at her. They slowly stepped off of the dance floor and went outside. They walked over to a bench and sat down looking at the stars. Gabriella leaned her head on Troy's shoulder and he put his arm around her as the moon shined down on them both.

They were both soaring but not in the way that you would think that they were.

AN-Please R and R I know it's kind of a weird ending but listen to Breaking Free and you'll know what I mean. I know that there were two songs in this one but I couldn't resist! Anyway thanks for reading and hopefully you'll read my other stories too.
