"keep working left troy" mine and troy's dad says as all three of us play "got a guard in the championship game were expecting. you'll torch 'em boys"

"am i going left?" troy asked holding the ball as i watched

"yeah" dad said breathlessly  "he looks middle, you take this downtown"

"ok, like this?" troy asked faking right and going left

i looked to my right to see our mom at the door way, 'oh no, shes going to make us go to the party' i thought as she watched troy and dad play while i was reading and watching them practise

"whoo! thats it man. sweet. lets see that in the game." dad said praising troy "dylan your turn son"

"aww come on." i whined

"come on we have to practise" dad said

"fine" i said stubbonly taking the ball out of his hand and dribbling it around him then shooting it in the hoop

"yooo dyl when did you get so good man" troy my annoying older (by 7 minutes) twin brother. we look nothing alike

"c'mon ive always been this good. and good looking" i said smirking at him, but that only lasted about five seconds until i saw him charging at me

"boys!?" i heard mom say as i come to a stop " did we really fly all this way to play more basketball"

"yeah" we all say at the same time

"its the last night of vacation" mom said and twerled "the party remember"

"right the party. the part. the new years eve" dad said trying to remember that 'party'

"troy, dylan they have a kids party down stairs in the free style club." mom said

"kids party" troy and i said at the same time

"young adults, now go shower up" mom said pointing to the door

"c'mon, one more" i said taking the ball out of troys hands

"last one" troy said after me

"real quick" dad said backing us both up and finally mom agreed so i run past troy and get infront of dad fake right and go left and shoot the ball in the hoop and both dad and troy cheered

after me and troy got ready we headed down to where mom said to go, the party. when we walked in 2 people were singing together

"all right how about that for a couple of snow boarders" the guy with the mic said as the people that were singing waved and walked off the stage "whos gonna rock the house next"

as im looking around i see a bright light on me and i see the other go on a girl that was reading

"i cant sing, no you go" i say not wanting to go up

"and you! yeah come on" the guy said getting the girl that i could tell did not want to do this either

"look, i dont sing. i cant sing, no guys..." i say but no one listened to me.

i looked around for troy to help me but i see him go out side with a girl the he is most likely going to make out with so i just give up

"hey you know what? someday you guys might thank me for this... or not" the guy said putting the microphone on the stand

dylan = this        gabriella= this         both= this

living in my own world
didnt under stand
that anything could happen
when you take the chance

i never believed in
what i couldnt see
i never opened my heart
to all the possibilities

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 oh..
and now lookin in your eyes

i feel it in my heart

the start of something new "

as the girl and i are singing i start to get really comfortable and and take my jacket off

"now whod of ever thought that
we'd both be here tonight yeah

the world looks so much brighter
with you by my side

i know that something has changed
never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
I never knew that it could happen till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
It's the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
That it's the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
The start of something new (The start of something new)"

"just church choir is all. i tried solo and nearly fainted." gabriella said back answering my question

"really why is that" i said

" i looked at the people staring at meand next thing i knew i was staring at the ceiling" gabriella said laughing slightly "end of solo career"

"the way you sing thats hard to believe" i said smiling at her

"that was the first time i did something like that. i mean it was so cool" she said getting kind of excited

" i know completely." i said also getting excited to the point where im almost jumping

"sounds like youve sung alot too" gabriella said

"yeah sure my shower head is very impressed with me" i said making gabriella laugh a little

9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.  the crowd inside the party shouted as fireworks went off

"i guess i better go find my mom and wish her happy new year" gabriella said looking around

"yeah me too. i mean not your mom. my mom... and dad and annoying twin brother" i said "uh... ill call you. ill call you tomorrow"

"yeah" gabriella said getting her phone out

"here put your number in" i said giving her my phone letting her put it in as she gave me her phone and i took a photo of her as she took one of me "oh ok. here you go"

i started talking but unknown to the fact that she had already left
