Song For This Chapter: "Just a Dream" – Nelly.
My Heart Belongs To You.
Troy's POV
I woke up to the sound of a high pitched yell. I stumbled out of bed only to find Sharpay in the flesh screaming at the top of her lungs. "How can you do that?" She screamed while tempting to throw a pillow at Chad. "What the hell is going on here?" I said confused while scratching the back of my head. While Sharpay continued to chase Chad around the dining room table, Zeke popped out to explain, "We came over for breakfast and when she went to wake up Chad when she stepped in an old bowl of pudding that He left in his room. And they 'ruined' her stilettos." "Dude, can't she just wash the pudding off?" A voice asked. "NOT IF THEY'RE WHITE STILETTOS, YOU CAN'T!" Sharpay yelled back while continuing to try to throw things at Chad. "Well…what flavor was the pudding?" The voice asked again popping out from behind the wall, was Jason. Sharpay let out a frustrated sigh. "Jason! What's up man?" I said. "Oh I've been around." Jason replied while shifting his weight. "So are you going to Zeke's big grand opening tonight?" Jason questioned me. "Uhh. Yeah. Sure, of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said with a grin.
Later that night at Baylor's Burgers
"Wow Zeke, this place is amazing" I said when I finally arrived. The place was packed with people interacting. I hardly knew anybody there, with the only exception of the gang. I was about to order myself a drink when Ryan walked up to me with a girl by his side. "Hey Troy. I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Claire. Claire this is one of my old friend's Troy Bolton." I looked at the girl by his side to be met with a pair of light green eyes. She had long blonde wavy hair. Not as blonde as Sharpay's but closer to a shade of a dirty blonde. She was wearing a purple haltered dress that was knee length with a pair of white Prada heels. I had to admit, Ryan had some good taste. She was very pretty. As me and Claire shook hands she said, "It's finally to nice to meet the famous Troy Bolton. I've heard many stories about you." "It's a pleasure to meet you too, and I hope they were good stories" I said while giving Ryan a look of approval. "Alright Troy", Ryan clapped, "Claire and I have to go mingle but have fun and start talking to people. You look a little lonely." He joked.
My drink arrived at the table and I took a sip of my beer. Loving the feeling of it going down my throat. It instantly calmed me down. I turned to my right to be greeted by a big smile from none other than Kelsi. "KELSIIII! It's so good to see you again. Wow, you look beautiful!" I said giving her my million dollar smile. Before she could reply, another voice interrupted. "Hey Hey, she's already taken." Jason said while putting an arm around her waist. Kelsi giggled and said, "It's finally nice to see you again after so long. What brings you back?" "Ohhh, you know..uhhh..I-I..just missed you guys, that's all." I said while stuttering over my own words. She giggled again. "Of course you did." She said with a suspicious glare. "Hey babe, I wanna get the free beer. Zeke said he's paying for the first three." Jason begged to Kelsi. "Alrright. I guess I'll see you around Troy." Kelsi said while offering a small smile. But before I could say anything else, they were off. And I was alone again.
Next thing you know, Zeke popped up on stage that was located on the left corner of the restaurant. "Alright ladies and gentleman, thanks for coming to the opening of my new restaurant. One of my lovely friends' decided to sing for your entertainment tonight. So please give it up for Miss Gabriella Montez!" Zeke said excitedly as Gabriella walked up on stage. The restaurant was filled with cheers. And as for me, I was shocked. Gabriella certainly wasn't the little girl anymore. She was gorgeous. She wore a red strapless dress that came to mid-thigh and showed off her curves perfectly but without being considered trashy. She had a pair of black pumps. Her hair was long and curly. The color was almost like midnight black. She was breathtaking.
"How's everyone doing tonight? I've prepared a song along with our two friend's, Kelsi Neilson on the piano and Ryan Evans playing the drums. I hope you guys enjoy, this song is called Paper Cut!" She said with a giggle and a big grin. As Kelsi began to play the piano, Gabriella stepped up to the mic.
It's not a feeling like when you touch a flame
No, it's not like when someone calls you a bad name
It's not like the hurt when you slip and fall down
No, it's not like any of these, what I've found is
Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
never even feel the slice; you're so deep
It seems so hard as, but only at first
Cause like a paper cut the pain grows worse.
Oh, oh
Everyone was in awe to how amazing her voice sounded. It was like I was hypnotized. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Her voice was so angelic. It was like music to my ears.
It's not so much in the words that you don't say
It's when you act in the distant, cold way
It's more in your eyes how you look at me
Like you no longer care for what I see
Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
never even feel the slice; you're so deep
It seems so hard as, but only at first
Cause like a paper cut the pain grows worse.
You had to go and show me just how good, your love could be
Then you threw it all away
Now I can't help but feel a brand new pain
So I'm asking baby, please stay.
Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
never even feel the slice; you're so deep
It seems so hard as, but only at first
Cause like a paper cut the pain grows worse.
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
The pain grows worse
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
The pain grows worse
Oh, oh
The pains grows worse
And with that the song ended.
As soon as the music finished, the restaurant was filled with claps and whistles. She smiled when the song ended and she took a look around the room. It seemed as though she was looking for someone. But who? "Thanks you guys, I hope you enjoy your time here!" She said with a big grin. She then walked off the stage. She was coming my way and just as she was about to pass my table, I whispered-"Ella." I knew she heard me when she stopped her movements and turned to look my way. As she turned, I was met with a pair of dazzling chocolate brown eyes. "Troy?" She whispered barely audible.
