Chapter Three

At 6:58, the doorbell rang. The girls told Kelsi not to open the door right away because then she'd look eager. Kelsi waited for 3 seconds and walked to the door. It took about an hour but she looked great. Make-up was on her face, a purple shirt and a jeans skirt with sandals were on, contacts were put on at the last second and her hair was down and was straightened. When Kelsi looked in the mirror, she couldn't recognize herself. Neither could the girls or her parents. Kelsi opened the door and saw Jason. "Hi,"

Jason's eyes were wide and Kelsi let out a giggle and Jason blushed a slight pink. Kelsi let out another giggle and Jason's face turned a reddish color. She started laughing which caused Jason's face to go deep red. "You know," Kelsi said, in between her laughter, "your face will stay that color if you keep blushing."

"Hey! We could forget that this ever happened. I know you don't want that. But, let's go going,"

"Whatever. You wouldn't want that, would you?" Kelsi asked sweetly. Jason just shook his head and they walked to the car and headed on their way the restaurant. Jason and Kelsi were walking out of the restaurant hand-in-hand, talking and laughing. After a few minutes, Jason asked, "Where's the car?" Kelsi shrugged and remembered. "Oh, it's over there," she said, pointing.

As the two walked to the car, Jason looked at Kelsi at the same moment she looked at him. Their eyes locked for a second and they looked away, embarrassed. They found the car and Jason opened the door for Kelsi and closed it and then hopped in. Kelsi fiddled with the radio then found a good channel. Jason reached to change it but Kelsi slapped his hand away. He rolled his eyes and sighed as it started to rain. The radio was playing lame music so Jason had decided to tune it out. Then, he heard the familiar music of the song. "Beautiful Soul" was playing.

"Hey, it's our song," Kelsi smiled. As she started humming the familiar music, Jason cracked a grin and remembered the first time he had danced with Kelsi. As the song ended, Kelsi's smile turned into a big grin and Jason smiled at her. The two started talking again when there was a red light. That wasn't a big deal. A car behind them didn't see the light until a few seconds before hitting them. The car skidded to a stop, but since it was raining, the car slightly slid and hit Jason and Kelsi. Their car got bumped lightly and it spun out of control. Jason's arm flung out in front of Kelsi, protecting her. Jason started trying to get the car back on the road. He could feel Kelsi's nails digging into his arm.

He thought, I think I'm slowing dying. Kelsi thought, I'll never forget this, if I ever live through it. The car crashed into a tree on Jason's side. A few minutes later, Kelsi opened her eyes and saw that her nails were still Jason's arm. She looked at him; he was barely breathing. Kelsi opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. A silent scream echoed in her head. Oh my gosh, she thought. What if he's, he's dead?

She couldn't think that, though. Kelsi dug out her cell phone and called Gabriella. Everyone was waiting for Jason and Kelsi to get back. The phone rang and Gabriella ran to get it. "Hello?" Gabi said into the phone. "Gabriella?" Kelsi asked. "Yeah. Where are you guys?" Gabi asked as she walked into the living room. "There-there was a ca- car accident," Kelsi replied, her voice shaky and her face wet from tears. "Is anyone hurt?" Everyone was looking at Gabi like she was insane. "J-Jason is,"

"Oh my gosh. Where are you?" Troy opened his mouth to speak, but Gabriella shook her head. "At um, 3rd Street and North Avenue," (A/N I made them up but they're probably real somewhere.) "OK, we'll be there as soon as possible,"

"OK, 'bye,"

"'Bye," Gabi said as the phones clicked. "What the heck was that about?" Troy asked. "Hey, where's 3rd and North?" Gabi asked. "Um, about 5 minutes down from here if you walk. Why?" Taylor said. "Because Jason and Kelsi were in a, uh, car accident," Gabi said. "Anyone hurt?" Chad asked. Gabriella just looked around the room. Sharpay was looking at her shoes, Taylor was looking at the ground and Troy, Chad, Ryan and Zeke were looking in different directions.

"Yeah," Gabriella said slowly. "Well, Kelsi's fine, but. . ."

"Jason's not?" Ryan said. Gabi nodded and Troy, Chad and Zeke looked at each other. Zeke asked, "What are we doing here then? Let's go!" With that, everyone bolted up and out of the house. Five minutes later, the seven arrived at 3rd and North. Taylor saw Kelsi and everyone started walking toward her. They saw her holding Jason's hand. Troy slipped on mud and fell and started sliding and landed next to Kelsi. Gabi helped him up and Kelsi noticed them. Sharpay sat down next to Kelsi and opened her arms. Kelsi embraced Sharpay and they hugged.

"Hey, let's get you up," Troy said lifting Kelsi up. "Did you call 911?" Zeke asked.

"Um…whoops,"

"I'm on it," Chad said, dialing the number.
