A/N: I know it's been forever but when I said three reviews I meant in addition to the ones already submitted. Anyway I decided to post anyway. Was really bored today and wanted to get my mind off of other things, lik my grandpa being in surgery, so I typed this up and posted it. I hope someone likes it cuz I'm not rly into it that much anymore but someone should get something out of it instead of having it collect dust in the bottom of my drawer.

Chapter 3: The Song & Fireworks

The screen lighted up with the words "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".

Troy: Ya, Never know what you're gonna feel, oh

Ya, Never see it comin', suddenly it's real

Gabriella: Oh, never even crossed my mind, no

That I would ever end up here tonight

Both: All things change

When you don't expect them to

No one knows

What the future's gonna do

I never even noticed

That you've been there all along

Both: I can't take my eyes off of you

I know you feel the same way too, yeah

I can't take my eyes off of you

All it took

Was one look

For a dream come true

Troy: Yeah, we got a good thing goin' on"

Gabriella: Oh, right here is right where we belong"

Both: You never really know what you might find

Now all I see is you and I

You're everything I never knew that I was looking for

I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true

Can't take my eyes off of you
Oh, oh, oh yeah
So let the music play
Can't take my eyes off of you
Yeah, the feeling's getting' stronger
And I never ever felt this way

Alright, I see everything
In your eyes. . . Oh yeah
Alright, something's happening
Cause everyone's around but
You're the only one I see

I can't take my eyes off of you
Feelings like I never knew
I can't take my eyes off of you
From the start. . . Got my heart
Yeah, you do
Can't take my eyes off you

After the song ended Troy and Gabriella received a huge applause, but they didn't seem to notice. They were just staring at each other. A few seconds later they realized and bowed to the audience and thanked them for their applause. They jumped of stage and quietly thanked the guy for giving them a chance to sing there again. Then they walked through the party and outside through the doors onto the balcony. They sat down on a bench on the railing. For a few minutes neither of them spoke.

"Well, that was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time." Troy commented, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Even more fun than basketball?"

"Defiantly. How about for you, better than a Decathalon?" Troy asked her, hoping she would say she enjoyed it too.

"Yeh. It was great," she replied smiling. From inside the party they heard the people begin to count down.

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…

Troy turned more towards his side at Gabriella and she stared back at him.

3…2…1 The people inside shouted and noise-makers went off but troy and Gabriella were deaf to it all as they leaned closer together. Their lips touched and they kissed. In the background, fireworks exploded celebrating the New Year. After a few seconds they broke apart and sat staring at each other.

"I like you a lot Gabriella, in case you couldn't tell, and I've wanted to tell you for a really long time," Troy told her.

"Me too," was all Gabriella could say and they leaned in for another kiss.

Little did they know, but everyone else had followed them after they left the stage and they watched them from behind the door. They saw them come out and sit down. They saw them talking but couldn't tell what they were saying, but they did see them kiss, twice. Taylor could barely contain her happiness, same with Chad. The others were muttering things under their breath like "finally" and "took them long enough".

After the second kiss they stood up.

"Come on, let's go find everyone else." Gabriella suggested.

"Good idea, but first, just to set the record straight and stuff, will you be my girlfriend?" Troy asked.

"Of course." Gabriella answered, without even a second thought, smiling.

"Awesome," he responded with enthusiasm, "now let's go look."

Everyone quickly split up and went off in different directions in the crowded party. Troy and Gabriella found Chad and Taylor but decided to just hang out and enjoy the party after that.

After an hour they all gathered back up together. Everyone greeted one-another.

"I think we should go back to our rooms." Gabriella said.

"Yeh, we have an early flight tomorrow." Taylor agreed.

"Ok," everyone else agreed and they headed up to their rooms.

A/N: there is still more, all is written no more is typed. If you want me to take time out of my o-so precious life to type up the next chap then review. Three additional reviews aka a total of six. That's all I ask. Til next time – cya.
