Something Like That

Troyella

It was labor day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailers sky made a perfect sunset
And thats the day Ill never forget

There I was, pumping some gas into my black F150 when this girl pulled up. I had to contain my
jaw from dropping she was so stunning. She was driving a white convertible and the way the
wind blew her hair made my heart jump. She had sunkissed tan skin and deep brown hair and eyes.
She was gorgeous, but she looked very familiar...

I flipped out my phone and searched down my list and I clicked on the name Gabriella.

It was her...

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart dont forget something like that

"Gabriella?" I said outloud without even thinking. Nice job, Troy, it's not even going to be --

"Yes?" She turned around, her expression knew that she was trying to recognize me.

"Remember me? Troy, from the ski lodge?" Nice one, Troy.

"Troy...Troy Bolton?!" a smile grew on her face that made my heart start pounding.

"Guilty," I grinned.

"OHMYGOD!" She squealed and tacklehugged me. She looked just as I remembered and
even more beautiful. "How've you been?" She asked excitedly.

"I've been good. What're you doing here in Albuquerque?"

"Oh, my grandfather lives here, I'm going to be moving in with him...I can't believe it's you!"
She squealed again.

I chuckled, "Are you going to go to East High?"

"Probably," she smiled.

Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to new orleans
To meet some friends of mine for mardi gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Comin from a few rows back
And when I looked, I couldnt believe just what I saw
She said I bet you dont remember me
And I said only every other memory

She didn't come back. Turns out, her father got into a major car accident and she stayed with her
mom. I never got a chance to talk to her after that day at the gas station. My heart never forgot her
and I sure as hell didn't. It's been five years since, and I have a clear picture of her still with me.
Right now, I'm at my senior year of UCLA, I'm the captain of the basketball team, of course.
I wonder where she's at...

As I was walking to the building I have my next class in, I knocked into a girl, causing the
papers in her notebook to fly everywhere. I hurried to get them all then looked up and my
eyes widened.

"Sorry..." She appologized while still picking up papers.

"No, it was my fault...Gabbi..." I said in shock.

She looked up and her jaw dropped, "Troy? You go here?!"

I nodded, "Yeah...I've been here all along..."

"Wow...well this is a big college, long time, no see," she smiled.

I returned the smile, "I know...God, I missed you."

"I missed you, too...I'm sorry I didn't tell you bye..."

"No, it wasn't your fault, you had a good reason. I'm sorry to hear about your dad."

"Oh, it's alright, we're doing much better now." she nodded, "Hey, wanna grab something to
eat tonight?"

"Now, shouldn't I be asking you that?" I grinned, "I would love to."

She smiled and hugged me, "Well, I guess I'll see you around then, Troy..."

"Alright, I'll pick you up around 7."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye..."

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart dont forget something like that

Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away

7 'o clock rolled by quicker than ever. I got out of my truck and walked up to her dorm room. My
heart had a steady rhythm of pounding as I knocked on the door. She answered and my heart skipped
a beat, she was wearing a turquoise dress with white lace trimming and she looked even more
beautiful which I didn't even thought to exist.

"Hey..." she smiled.

"H...hi..." Gah, Troy you're such an idiot.

She blushed, "Ready to go?"

I nodded and extended my hand. She took it and we walked to the car.

After eating dinner at an Italian restaurant, we went to the beach and walked under the moonlight.
It couldn't have gone more perfectly...

"So, after college, what do you want to do, Troy?"

"Well, I'll still play basketball here and there, but I want to become a coach, so I'll probably take my
father's place at East High. And I'll get married and have children someday...what about you?"

She smiled, "Well, I really want to become a teacher. And pretty much the same as you - get married
and have children."

I smiled as we stopped and I wrapped my arms gently around her waist and as wrapped her arms
around me, "God, I missed you..."

"I missed you way more," she smiled, leaning in for our first kiss. When our lips met, electricity sparked
through my body, I didn't want it to stop. I caressed her cheek as we stood there under the stars, kissing.

I whispered, our lips touching as we spoke, "I love you, Gabriella Montez."

She smiled softly, "I love you, too, Troy Bolton."

We met again in another kiss. That night was definitely be the best night of my life.

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin? rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart dont forget, no a heart dont forget
I said a heart dont forget something like that
Oh, not something like that
