-1" Gabriella." a voice was calling a very asleep Gabriella, " Gabby." the voice said again this time loud enough to wake her up.

" What, yea." she said.

" now don't freak but Troy Bolton is out side the door waiting for you." the giggling girl said.

" You know he can probably hear you." Gabriella said. "tell him I'll be right there." she said getting out of bed and putting her school clothes on.

" Hey, Troy." she said walking out of the girls dormitory.

" Hello, so I thought during our free period we could stop by the auditions." he said taking Gabriella a little off guard.

" Sure." she said. " where's our first class."

" Transfiguration, with Professor McGonagall." Troy said leading her out of the common room.

" I never got to tell you how much fun I had that night in the mountains." she said.

" same here." he said making them both think back to that night.

flash back

" Troy you have to go to the party." his mother said making him and his father stop playing basketball.

" one more shot mom." he said throwing he basket ball up and making the shot.

" Okay now go get changed." she said turning out of the gym and down a hallway.

" Gabby, I've been looking for you every were, go get ready." Gabriella's mother said.

" Okay Mom." she said going up to her hotel room.

" Who's next," the party karaoke man said as the spot light went around the room to pick the next to lucky people to sing, it hit Troy and then it hit Gabriella.

" No, No, I can't sing." Troy said as they were pulling him on stage.

As Gabriella was getting pulled on stage she just looked scared, they both got up there and looked at each other, they both blushed a little, they turned to face the karaoke machine,

Troy

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Gabriella

I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities

Both

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Troy
Now who'd of ever thought that
Both

We'd both be here tonight

And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Troy
I never knew that it could happen until it happed to me

Both

I didn't know it before
Gabriella

But now it's easy to see
Both
It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new.

After it was over they got off stage and Troy asked Gabriella to go for a walk, " I had fun tonight" Troy said to her.

"Me to." Gabriella said.

END FLASHBACK

After transfiguration they head towards the auditorium a new building for the drama department at Hogwarts. When they got there, no one was there except Ryan, Sharpay, Professor Sprout, Kelsey the pianist, and few others auditioning.

" sad drama club isn't it." Troy said.

" Yeah it is." Gabriella said.

" it started three years ago, the ministry thought it would be cultural to bring muggle stuff here, so they started the drama department and Basketball." Troy finished.

" cool, so do you wanna audition." Gabby asked.

" umm.. I don't know Professor sprouts kind of harsh." he said which was true she basically pulling people off the stage if they were bad.

" Wow the basketball star is scared." she said teasing him.

" no, fine, Professor sprout we'd like to audition." he said standing up.

" Troy." Gabriella whispered, as he grabbed her hand pulling her up to the front of the room.

" ahh, Mr. Bolton where's your sports posy, or whatever." she said

" team, and i'm here alone, actually i'm here to sing with her." he said

" Fine, fine, you go after Ryan and Sharpay." she said.

"Gabriella, Troy." a voice said behind them, they turned to see Harry and Ron, coming down the aisle, " you guys came to make fun to." Ron said.

" actually, were auditioning." Gabriella said."

" oh." they said. " well we'll cheer you on." Harry said.

" RYAN, SHARPAY, your turn." Professor sprout yelled. Ryan and Sharpay sang, they were okay but finally it was Troy and Gabriella's turn:

Troy:
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me

Gabriella:
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold

Both:
But you were always there beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

Chorus
Both:
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before I finally found
What I've been looking for

Everyone clapped and whistled, " the call back list will be hung on the bulletin board outside my classroom tomorrow morning. The auditorium cleared out except for Gabriella, Troy, and Kelsey who was on stage gathering her sheet music.

" So ummmm… I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime." Troy asked Gabriella.

" I would love to." Gabriella said. "And Troy you can call me Gabby if you want." she said.

" Okay, so you ready." he asked.

" Yea." as they were turning to leave they heard a loud sound on the stage so they turned around Kelsey had fallen and dropped all her sheet music, Troy ran to help her followed by Gabby.

" Are you okay," Troy asked helping her pick up the papers. Kelsey just shook her head yes. " So you're a composer." Troy asked, she just shook her head again.

" did you right the song we just sang." Gabby asked.

" Yea, I have the perfect song for your callback." she said apparently warming up to them.

" we don't even know if we have a call back." Troy said.

" you're perfect you guys were so much better then Ryan and Sharpay." she said.

" Okay what's the song." Gabby asked her.

" Its called breaking free its from the second act." she said.

" Okay,." Troy said

" Okay well i'm available for practice, after school or even before, even sometimes during potions, after basketball class." she said getting really excited Troy on the other hand had a shocked look on his face, because he completely forgot about basketball and his dad and his teammates what were they going to do when they found out, but he couldn't help but forget about this stuff when he was with her she made him forget everything.

" Troy, earth to Troy." Gabby said waving a hand ion front of his face.

" Oh sorry yeah, you ready." he asked

" Yeah, by Kelsey."

" Bye." she said

" hey guys." Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny said coming up behind them.

" Hey." Gabby said

" We have to go gab," Troy said " Kelsey's waiting."

" Your right., see you guys later." she said.

" Wow, you really don't like one of them." she said as soon as they were out of the common room.

" what makes you think that." he said.

" well you didn't even look at the group." she said. " and that look on your face when you heard Harry's voice."

" well I just don't like Harry." he said.

" why." she asked him.

" I saw the way he looks at you." he said

" he's my friend." Gabby said grabbing his hand.

" still he likes you, I can see it."

" your crazy." she said as they were walking into were Kelsey had told them to meet her. Practice went good, it went by fast.

" I have to go, see you later." Troy said heading to basketball practice.

" Bye." she yelled after him.

" Stop bye in a little." he said.

" Okay." As Troy walked into the gym he saw his team leaving when they saw him they didn't look to happy, neither did Troy's dad.

" I think I'll stay and shot some free-throws." he said grabbing a basketball off the ground.

" well since you missed practice I think your team deserves a little from you today." his dad said leaving the Gym. After a couple shots troy heard the gym door open it was Gabriella.

" Wow, your real stage." she said laughing. She had already changed out of her school cloths, she was wearing a pair of leans and a light sweatshirt.

" you could call it that or you could call it a smelly gym." he said as Gabby grabbed the ball from him and took a shot and made it. "don't tell me your good at hoops to." he said

" yea I once scored 47 points in a league championship game." she said

" No way." Troy said looking amazed.

" yea, the same day I invented the same day I invented the space shuttle and microwave popcorn." she said

" Haha microwave popcorn real funny." he said picking up the ball, just to have Gabriella grab it again she grabbed it and started running with it having Troy chase her, e finally caught up with her he grabbed her and spun her around then he lost his balance and fell Gabby quickly jumped up and offered trot her hand Troy took but instead of getting up he pulled her down. And rolled over on top of her, he leaned into kiss her……..

" Excuse me miss this is a closed practice." coach Bolton said.

"Oh i'm sorry sir." Gabriella said as Troy helped her up.

" Dad this is Gabriella." Troy introduced her, Gabby put her hand out for him to shake it but he didn't.

"ahh so this is the reason you missed practice." he said.

" I'll see you later Troy." Gabriella said leaving the gym.

" Dad I missed practice, it wasn't her fault."

" Well she's the reason isn't she." his dad said getting angry.

" Her named Gabriella, and no its not her fault." Troy said defensively.

" I don't want you seeing her anymore." coach Bolton said.

" Dad her names Gabriella please use it and I will see her, you cant stop me." Troy said.

" I can to, as long as you are part of this team you will not see her, you are letting me and your team down." he said.

" well then I'm not apart of this team anymore." troy said storming out of the gym. He walked pass his whole team who was listening the whole time and he didn't even notice them. He went up to the Gryffindor common room to find Gabriella.

" Gabriella, i'm sorry." he said sitting down next to her in front of the fire.

" Its not your fault Troy." she said as he put his hand around her.
