Chapter Two: Macro

TPOV

The music continued to play as she stood there, her mouth hanging open. Of all the things we'd planned would go wrong( A) Ms Darbus rejects our call-back; B) Sharpay and Ryan trample onstage, a storm of sparkles, and ruin the whole thing; C) The gigantic painted moon crushes either of us while we were performing), stage fright wasn't even considered.

This was so different from the Gabriella I'd been rehearsing with, the Gabriella I'd sang with on New Year's Eve...

Kelsi stopped playing the piano abruptly. I walked briskly to her, hoping I could talk the stage fright out of her, or at least motivate her to try to sing. The call-backs meant equally as much to her as it did to me.

"I can't do this, Troy. Not with all these people staring at me."

She was about to walk off the stage until I grabbed her hand, tugging on it. "Hey, look at me, right at me," my eyes fell on hers. "Like the first time we sang together, remember? Like kindergarten."

She nodded once, very lightly and unmistakably. I cued Kelsi. The music weaved itself around us and I felt the magic buzzing Gabriella and me, like that New Year's Eve. I started singing and she followed. Our voices melted together in the melody.

More than hope

More than faith

This is true

This is fate

And together we see it coming

More than you

More than me

Not a want but a need

Both of us breaking free

My heart was bursting with elation. I've finally found the missing part of me. I found myself.

But the most serendipitous find of all, was Gabriella.
