Miley and her friends tagged along with me and the wildcats at a karaoke restaurant. Honestly it has been like 10 years, since the east high reunion which I sadly did not attend due to my work schedule. But this year I came to see the whole gang, and support one of our friends.

"Hey, Troy, check out that girl." Chad says point at that

"Wow, she looks really pretty

"Oh my gosh, hi guys!...Troy?"

"Hey, Gabriella?"

"Awkward." They said in unison as I gave them a "Seriously, guys?" look before slamming my head down to my hand.

"W-w-wow, How is it possible Gabriella looks even more pretty and beautiful and gorgeous all at the same time just as I remembered?" I thought out loud, not realizing that a few people heard including Gabriella.

"Ah, that-"

"Uh, n-nn-n-n-no, I di-! I mean yeah you really do, bu-

"Hey, Don't worry about it. I mean, you never looked too bad yourself, Wildcat." She replies, sweetly.

"Hey, Gabby. I got us some dr- Uh, hey everybody. Sharpay, you look great." A dude said.

"Gee, thanks Peyton." Sharpay said as he just nodded.

Oh boy, I've already gotta gut feeling that this is gonna get more awkward but I'm not gonna jinx it.

While the girls are out at the club tonight with our friends, I remembered I still have some time for surprise I'm doing for my Lillypop before Jackson shows up.

Okay okay, I have to write a song to and for my Lillypop...Hmm, should i sing her a cover of one of our songs or sing one of mine? Uh..Uh..Uh..Uh...Uh Ooo, I got it!

With that thought, My band started to take their position as I began to sing.

"Do you ever feel like me (like me)
The walls are closing in, between
Just breathe (just breathe)
I wait every single moment of every day
Just to see your face
Why can't they just let us be, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's us against the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's us against the world

I'm never letting go
Come on let's run away
Just take me by the hand
We will ma-"

"Hu-, Oh hey, Ja-"

"Oliver!"

"Look, I'm really sorry about that. I just waiting for the time Mhmm...Okay, but I thought we were doing the pr-Seriously? You mean r-, okay, okay! I'm coming, Jackson. Just relax, dude." I informed him right before I hanged up.

I went out the house and drove over to Jackson's to help him out.

(still Troy pov)
As if it wasn't already awkward enough being in the same room as my ex and her current boyfriend, but the fact that she just lost contact breaks my heart a bit.

"Okay is there anymore volunteers?"

"Hey, maybe you two should join them."

"Oh! U-"

"Oh come on it's not like you two have stage fright or something? Besides, you two are just singing in quartet. I mean, what's stopping you, dude?" He called me out as we both got up to the stage and joined the other two.

As if it wasn't already awkward enough being in the same room as my ex and her current boyfriend, but the fact that Sharpay encourages us to sing together on stage in front of everybody and not to her boyfriend is just embarrassing! Like..why did you do that?

"Okay, does anyone have any suggestions of a song for these four to sing? The DJ asked everybody began shouting out ideas from the top of their heads.

"Ooo, How about Reminding Me to Rewrite the Stars?" Sharpay suggested as everybody screamed "yeah".

Before the song starts playing, I noticed Gabriella was tilting her head towards me.

"You know it's totally fine be nervous? I mean, you're gonna do really great." She comforts.

"Yea, thanks for that, and good luck." I replied, appreciating her help.

[Chorus: Shawn Hook, Vanessa Hudgens & Both]
She keeps reminding me
That you're still gone
And I'm still lonely
He keeps reminding me
How good it was
When we were crazy

[Verse 1: Shawn Hook, Zac Efron]
Wine, she's spitting out the wine
I forgot you left behind
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
Oh, love, I know this isn't love
'Cause I'm still thinking of you
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
I never should have left
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

[Chorus 1: Shawn Hook, Zac Efron]
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
She keeps reminding me
That you're still gone
And I'm still lonely
You'd be the one I was meant to find
She keeps reminding me
How good it was
When we were crazy

[Post-Chorus: Shawn Hook, Zac Efron]
In love, love
She keeps reminding me
How good it was, was
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

[Verse 2: Zendaya, Vanessa Hudgens]
You think it's easy
Nights, I miss the faded nights
Staying out 'til morning light
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
Now he, he's laying in the sheets
The ones you bought for me
All tangled in a mess
It should be you instead

While the girls were singing, I stole a glance at her as she began to smile while singing at her part.

[Chorus 2: Anne Wheeler, Vanessa Hudgens]
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
He keeps reminding me
That you're still gone
And I'm still lonely
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
He keeps reminding me how good it was
When we were crazy

[Post-Chorus]
In love, love
He keeps reminding me
How good it was, was
It's not up to you, it's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

[Post Chorus: Both, Zendaya, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Shawn Hook]
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
Well, I'm tryna forget you with no regrets
But I'm still hanging onto the memories that you left
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
I'm still tryna forget you, forget you
Say that it's possible

As we were singing in foursome, Gabriella & I kept eyeing each other while we took our mic and sang side by side in front.
Man, it's like we were saying our thoughts out loud but in songs. And plus, her voice is just absolutely breathtaking, like wow.

[Chorus 3: Zac Efron and Zendaya, Shawn Hook, Vanessa Hudgens & Both]
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
She keeps reminding me
That you're still gone
And I'm still lonely
Nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to f—

Wow, I forgot how much I loved singing with her like our voices together just sounded amazing.
