Hello devoted readers, since we're coming to the end of my first story, I've decided to include a song I wrote myself, enjoy!
As I walk up to the Mushroom tree, I grin as I'm greeted by all my amazing friends, waving and shouting and tickling each other and so on. Its our first park meet up of the summer and I can't express how much I've missed it. Troy and I have been dating for almost a year now and I'm still so happy to have him, he really is my everything. I smile as he approaches me, picking me up and spinning me around, making me laugh and scream.
The thing is though, a lot can change over a year as well. For example, Taylor finally has a boyfriend, and you'll never guess who it is... Chad! I don't understand how it happened, they we're getting quite close at the beginning of the year, then a party came along and they were suddenly all over each other, it was so strange to witness. They're an odd couple because they're so different, but I think Tay has the ability to control her man, so hopefully they'll stay together. I can see them now, cuddled up underneath the tree, its still strange to look at.
Kelsi is still mad as ever. A few months after Troy and I got together she got this really dodgy boyfriend she met at a gig. He was a complete jerk and seemed to just take advantage of her all the time, she even stopped coming out with us as much because he didn't like it. Luckily she came to her senses, dumped the idiot and is slowly returning back to her normal crazy self. She tries to join in with mine and Troy's hug, which ends up with her being slung over Troy's shoulder in protest.
Zeke is still interested in planes and all his other nerdy stuff. However, he seems to have started taking an interest in Martha, who hangs around with us now instead of Sharpay, which all of us find to be a big improvement.
I suppose you're wondering what happened to Sharpay as well. Well, obviously she hung around with all the bitchy girls when we returned to school. However, a rumor ended up going around about her sleeping with one of the bitches boyfriends, so eventually they ditched her and now she just sort of goes from group to group, trying to take control and boss everybody around. I hope she never comes back to us because she certainly won't receive a warm welcome.
We settle down on the grass and Troy produces his guitar from behind the tree, a blush takes over my face. Over the past few months we've been working together on a few songs, co-writing them while Troy plays guitar and I sing. I wrote a special one for today, the day we meet back at the park, I'm still nervous about performing though as I've never done it in front of other people before.
"You'll be fine, just relax, you're a great singer" Troy whispers into my ear, getting his guitar ready and playing the first few chords, I guess its now or never, I open my mouth and start to sing.
Lazy days, park breeze
Lets just take it easy now
Nothing matters except me,
My friends and how we're
Doing nothing but making memories,
I'm so glad we worked it out
Now lets chill but make a scene
Cos that's what we're good at.
I know we ain't got much planned
But as our spontaneity grows
It leaves us stuck, in a trance
Of this blissful ignorance.
Lets do it again
We've got nothing left to lose
Doesn't matter how or when
Cos this life is ours
Taking breaks, raising stakes
Lets go out and make mistakes
And everything we do
Will be with us, til the end
Cos I know these feelings are true.
There's a bit of a silence when we finish, followed by applause of approval and cheering, I blush with pride.
"Wow Gabs, I didn't know you could sing like that, that was great!" Kelsi said, putting her arm around me.
"Its just a thing we've been working on, nothing big" I replied, still blushing.
"You're fantastic Gabs, you should do something with it" Chad said, ruffling my hair as we lay back on the grass.
Its a beautiful day, not a single cloud in the sky. A small smile appears on my face as I drink in the feeling of the sun rays on my skin, the feeling of the soft grass underneath me, the happy atmosphere of my friends around me and the body heat of my wonderful boyfriend next to me, strumming softly on his guitar.
That's it guys, the final chapter! Thank you all so much for reading, reviewing and encouraging my story. It means a lot to me that people have taken an interest and I wish I could thank every single one of you personally. I may be writing other stories in the future, although I may take a break from HSM for a while. However, you never know when a good idea will come into your head so watch this space! Thanks for reading :D
