Chapter 9 - When You Wish Upon A Star

Madeline's P.O.V

It was finally Friday and Zac and I were making our way to the airport and I looked at Zac scared. I have never ever been on an aeroplane before. Zac looked at me with his piercing blue eyes and said ''never been on an aeroplane before''.

I smiled and nodded my head and told him ''no, we could never afford but I guess there is a first time for everything''. Zac and I walked into the airport and the paparazzi kept taking pictures of us.

I walked to the check in desk and they let us on the aeroplane. I looked at Zac scared as I sat down in the seats. Zac sat down next to me and grabbed my hand as the aeroplane took off.

Zac looked at me and asked ''so are you excited about going home''. I smiled, not really. I wanted to spend more time with Zac and I told him ''I think I am going to miss you, I waiting four years to meet you but I never thought I actually spend a week with you''.

Zac smiled and hugged me and kissed me on the forehead and said ''we will always be friends, what ever happens''.

Zac walked away to get some food and I looked out the window and this women looked at me and said ''are you Vanessa Hudgens''. I smiled and nodded. Zac came back and gave me a cookie and told me ''hi, I got you a cookie, the pilot said we will be in Texas in about an hour''.

I smiled and he sat down next to me and hugged me and asked ''how you coping with this trip''. I smiled and ate a bit of my cookie and looked out the window and told him ''ok, pretty scary but it's all cool, I am used to this trip now, I am gonna miss you so much''. Zac hugged me as I cried and stroked my head.

We finally landed in Austin, Texas. If felt weird being at home, I just wanted to see my Mom and Rory. I looked at Zac and said ''can I go home; you should come home with me. I want you to meet my Mom''.

Zac smiled and nodded and we got a taxi and I gave him my address. We finally arrived at my house and I knocked on my door. My Mom answered it and hugged me and said ''Maddy, you're home, my baby girl is home''.

My Mom led me into the house and we all sat on the couch and I saw me, well Vanessa and I smiled. I sat down on the couch and I said to me ''I seen famous life and it's not for me. I like my life and I realized that my dream has been all around me all along''.

Something felt weird inside me and I felt my face, I was me again. I ran over to Rory and hugged him and Rory said ''I had my first kiss with Vanessa''. I backed away from him and I ran upstairs and into my room and started to cry.

I always loved Rory but I didn't realize it until I met my dream boy. Zac followed me and sat down next to me and hugged me and told me ''I can't believe it either, I guess it was going to happen, being in a new place and being a new person, you just might act different''.

I smiled and holded him tighter and cried even more and Zac said ''thanks for this Maddy, I had a really great time with you''. Zac smiled and kissed me.

I couldn't believe it; I had my first kiss with Zac Efron. I smiled and looked at him and said ''you are a really good kisser, but you were my first so I nothing to go against but you are. I know why people want to kiss you''.

I walked downstairs and Zac followed, I looked around the room and realized that people were not with who they should be. I was meant to be with Rory and Zac was meant to be with Vanessa.

I looked at Zac and I said ''thanks for being nice to me but I think you should be with Vanessa, I have often thought that I could be your girlfriend but I now realize that you belong with Vanessa and I belong with Rory but I have been too blinded by the love I thought I had for you to realize that, so are we friends''.

Zac smiled and hugged me and kissed me on the forehead and said ''I meant what I said on the aeroplane, we will always be friends what ever happens''.

I walked over to Rory and I kissed him and he step back in shock and pulled me for another kiss. I looked at Zac and Vanessa holding hands and looking into each other eyes. They looked so much in love and it felt so nice to see it first hand.

The weekend came and Zac and Vanessa went to go and stay a hotel and they gave me their phone numbers so we could stay in contact. I walked into school on Monday, of course the news of me kissing Zac spread around the school.

Zac, Vanessa and I took pictures of all of us messing around to prove I wasn't lying. Shellie walked over to me and asked ''so can Zac kiss good''.

I smiled and licked my lips and walked off. I was the most popular girl in my school but I don't want that, I got my dream and I couldn't believe it but my dream has been all around me all along.

We got V.I.P tickets to see Vanessa live and we standing in the front of the crowd and she looked at me and smiled and said ''I just want to say thank you to Madeline Gilbert, she is such a great friend and this song is for her''.

I smiled and hugged Rory and kissed him. No matter how old I get, I will always have one special moment that will stay with me. Meeting Zac and becoming his friend and finally realizing that I was meant to be with Rory.

But my first kiss will always be special, with the guy I thought I loved. My dream guy has been there all along but I had to visit the guy I thought he was to realize it.

Vanessa's P.O.V

It was nice to get away from fame life and be a normal person and it took being away from Zac to realize I love him. When I kissed Rory, I thought I liked him more than a friend but when I kissed him I didn't feel the same spark as I do with Zac.

It was a moment of weakness but it felt right. But I gave him something special, a first kiss but Zac gave Maddy something special, a friend and the kiss of Zac she waited four years for. Mine and Zac's relationship have got stronger since all of this happened and I couldn't be more thankful for.
