A/N: Helloo. This is my first fanfic, so you know, read and review, please?

This is a Kelsi and Jason fanfic. Also a minorly SLASH story, meaning boy x boy. Don't like? Simple. Don't read. Feel free to flame me, I'll laugh at your narrow mindedness.

Anyways, sorry for the short prologue, I'll post next chapter soon that will definitely be longer.

Oh, she could just live vicariously through the others. Sure, they were her songs, but Mrs. Darbus had long ago relegated her to playing accompaniment. Kelsi Nielsen loved to play the piano, but she wished, just once, it could be someone else playing the accompaniment for her. Just for her. But it could never happen. Not while "it" couple Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez were around. So, she resigned herself to perfecting her pieces and giving life to her creations. No one truly appreciated Kelsi; that is, no one until Jason Cross. Of course, he would still always be one of Troy's basketball cronies, but at heart, he had always wanted to break into the world of drama. Sharpay and Ryan Evans had never allowed that before. However, everything changed after that single fateful day in the history of East High and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Kelsi had always been a bit of a nobody at East High. She didn't really have a claim to fame or anything really distinguishing about herself. Troy, Chad, Zeke, and Jason had their basketball. Sharpay and Ryan had their drama. Gabriella and Taylor had their smarts. And what did she have? Well, it wasn't easy to say exactly what that was. Piano, she supposed, but even at that, she could only be second best. Playing the second part along with the actor or actress who would eventually outshine Kelsi even at her best. And she knew she gave only her best. But somehow, it seemed her best could never be good enough. Not enough to be noticed. Not enough to secure the elusive fame. Not enough to win the boy.
