I'm sitting in the gym watching dad and Troy play. I wasn't playing because when I was little my dad promised me that if we are on a Holliday I don't have to play, and I'm very glad for that. I was reading a book, the mortal instruments it's a great book. I was halfway through when mom came walking in.

"Boys" Troy and dad stop playing and look at her "did we really fly all this way to play more basketball??"

They look at each other and say both "Yeah"

"It's the last night of vacation, the party remember"

"The party, the party New Year's Eve" dad says while placing back and forth.

"Is there a party can I come??" I say hopeful

"No Hun you can't come but you 2 are going to the kid’s party downstairs"

"Mom I'm not a kid anymore, Abi is but not me" tray says

"I'm just one year younger so that's not fair" I say giving Troy a death glare

"Shut up you two you are going to the party and that's it, so Troy shower and Abi go downstairs"

She walks away and Troy grabs the ball from dad

"Last one real quick" I roll my eyes and make my way downstairs with my book.

I walk into the party room and look for a place to read. I scan the room and see a couch with a girl who is reading as well. I make my way over to the girl. I take my seat next to her.

"Romeo and Juliet not a bad choice I'm more a fantasy person" I say to her above the music. She looks up from her book and sees my book.

"I thought I was the only one crazy enough to read here but guess was wrong. I'm Gabriella" she says while holding up her hand.

“Abigail" I say while shaking her hand.

We talk a bit about random things and we switch phone numbers. She is really nice and if she would go to our school she would be best friends with Taylor in no time. A man walks on the podium and begins to talk but I'm not paying much attention. A spot light goes on and two random people start to sing karaoke. It's not terrible but not good either. I lay my book down next to me and watch the scene in front of me. Gabriella is reading her book so she isn't paying attention.

The couple goes off and the men ask for volunteers. I look at the crowd but they keep their mouth shut. The spotlight goes off and scans the room; it stops on a person who is dragged to the podium. He looks terrified and when my eyes are adjusted I see that it is Troy. He sees me and mouths 'Help me!!!' I give him a smile and mouth back 'no thanks' and shrug.

The spot starts moving again and goes towards me and Gabi. She lays her book down and opens her mouth to say something but the spot stops on her and she is dragged to the stage. Gabi looks just as terrified as Troy, they would make a cute couple.... no Troy basketball boy and smart Gabi wouldn't go together. The song starts and I look with awe as I hear my brother sing...

Troy:

Living in my own world,

Didn't understand,

That anything can happen,

When you take a chance.

Wow my brother can sing... That sounds so weird

Gabriella:

I never believed in,

What I couldn't see,

I never opened my heart (oh, oh),

To all the possibilities.

Ooooooooooo

Gabi can sing to wow

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, ohh,

And now,

Looking in your eyes,

I feel in my heart,

The start of something new.

Troy:

Now who'd have ever thought that,

We'd both be here tonight, oh, yeah,

Troy throws his jacked to me and I catch it and lay it next to me. They are finally having fun.

Gabriella:

And the world looks so much brighter,

With you by my side,

Both:

I know that something has changed,

Never felt this way,

I know it for real...

I quickly got my phone and made pictures.

This could be the start,

Of something new,

It feels so right,

To be here with you, ohh,

And now 

Looking in your eyes,

I feel in my heart,

The start of something new.

Troy:

I never knew that it could happen,

Till it happened to me, oohh, yeah

Both:

I didn’t know it before,

But now it’s easy to see-eeeeeeeeeee Oooohh,

This could be the start,

Of something new,

It feels so right,

To be here with you, ohh,

And how,

Looking in your eyes,

I feel in my heart,

The start of something new.

This could be the start,

Of something new,

It feels so right,

To be here with you, ohh,

And now,

Looking in your eyes,

I feel in my heart,

The start of something new.

Wow just wow, I am sure I clapped the loudest I didn't even knew my brother could sing. I see Troy say something to Gabi and then Gabi something to Troy. They walk away from the stage. I grab my book and Gabi's book and text Ryan.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Ryan :3

How are you? I’m kinda bored at the moment.

Are you having fun or is Sharpay bossing you around?

Abi ^-^

-------------------------------------------------------------

I put my phone back in my pocket and make my way out of the door.

I see Troy and Gabi walking so I run to catch up to them.

"Gabi you left your book" I say while handing her, her book

"O thank you, have you met Troy"

"Yes I have he's my brother" I say while handing him his jacked.

She looks confused between me and my brother and then she starts laughing.

"What's so funny??" Troy asks

"You guys have the same eyes" she says in between her laughs

I look at Gabi with a face that says 'no I didn't know that'

Troy opens his mouth to say something but everyone around us starts counting down. We join them and watch the firework. I hug Gabi and promise to keep in touch. I run of to find mom and dad when my phone starts to buzz. I grab him and check the messages.

Happy New Year!!!! <3
