Kelsi's Point of View
After the bell rang to dismiss us from school, I headed towards the auditorium to start working with the Wildcats on the numerous numbers in the musical. Some were fantastic, and then again, some needed individual help from me and Ryan on there pitches and dance moves. We ran "I Just Wanna Be with You" with Troy and Gabriella a few times before Troy finally got the hang of Ryan's choreography. And every time it was sung with such passion and enthusiasm all the others started to join in. It was a whole new number.
"Let's take five and when we come back, we'll start with Sharpay's song." I said with a huff. She'd just show off in front of Troy like she always did, and to tell you the truth, we were all tired of it. Anyway, after calling the break, I nearly skipped all the way to the back music room to bring out a couple of music stands for the band that would be practicing with us next week. A couple of hands pulled me into it and shut the door.
"Okay, Kelsi Nielson, spill," Gabriella ordered, turning on the light to the room. Gabriella and Taylor smiled at me as my face burned with embarrassment. "Spill what?" I rasped, trying not to show my frazzled feeling.
"You know what," Taylor taunted, like I was hiding something.
"What?" I cried, frustrated with the two of them.
They looked at each other in a confused manner, then whispered to themselves as I watched on. "You mean you really don't know," Taylor questioned smiling sweetly.
"No!" I replied. "Just tell me." my nerves were flared now. The suspense was killing me, so to speak.
"You tell her," Taylor exclaimed, pointing to Gabriella. Oh no, I thought, they know about me listening to their song on the roof. I was ready for her to get mad at me, but she never did.
"Well, I think…..," she paused, grinning from ear to ear. "Just tell me," I spat, repeating my earlier words.
"We think Ryan likes you," Taylor blurted, her face just as surprised as mine. My ears flamed as the shyness set in. "Taylor!," Gabriella exclaimed.
"That's ridiculous," I denied, looking down at my shoes. "He doesn't even know I exist."
"That's not true, Kelsi, Jason told me he saw him ask you to prom." Gabriella breathed. That was supposed to be private, I screamed in my head.
"It's only professional,"
"Do you like him," Taylor prodded.
"I-I…..," I stammered, trying to find the words to say about my feelings for the blonde, future Broadway star that never like someone like me……that was the inspiration for everything I did, everything I wrote, everything that was everything. Yes, I yelled in my head. He was simply everything to me, and nothing less, but he'd never return the feeling.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Chad appeared. "Come on, we're waiting for you guys on stage. Mrs. Darbus wants us to start at the beginning instead of Sharpay's song."
All of us hurried on stage to take our places before anyone really started to notice we were gone. I hurried to my piano, Ryan already at his place, next to me on the bench. The other Wildcats were sitting in the seats facing the stage.
I started to play the beginning of the first song "Last Chance" Ryan playing the an octave lower than what I was playing. Then we began singing.
"It's our last chance to share the stage, before we go our separate ways, high school wasn't meant to last forever. It's our last chance fro us to shine, to being you music one more time. So come on, come on, come on."
He winked at me, with a loving smile on his face. We sang higher.
"Come on, come on, come on."
He looked me in the eye and smiled again. Everything.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of pink, but I didn't pay any attention, I was lost, and I never wanted to be found.
Then I saw Sharpay smirk.
