A/N: This is written for the iPOD Shuffle Drabble Challenge. I want to thank BeautifulxxDisasterx for tagging me about this challenge. I did this while I was bored at a party with nothing but my iPOD, a pen and a piece of scratch paper for company.
The song that popped into my player that inspired this is "Waiting For A Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl. It's an 80s has-been band (yes, I am that old). I've written the lyrics below.
Disclaimer:I don't own the HSM characters or this song. "Waiting for a Star to Fall" is written by George Merill and Shannon Rubicam.
Trying to Catch a Star
Sharpay always loved watching shooting stars. When she was a child, she used to lie down on the soft grass of the well-tended Lava Springs golf course in anticipation of those tiny pin pricks of light that grazed the sky. And when one did pass the path of her eyesight, she would wish very hard until it faded.
There was something fulfilling about catching a shooting star and holding its gaze long enough to wish. It was because it was such a challenge. And Sharpay always loved a challenge.
So when the ultimate challenge came her way, she set her sights on it.
Troy Bolton. The shinning super star of East High. Beloved and envied by all.
She will lie in wait patiently like she used to on those long nights. She would do all that it takes to pull him to her. Because no matter how long, she knew he would be hers someday.
OOO
Waiting for a Star to Fall
I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
OOO
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are
OOO
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
OOO
I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free
OOO
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far
OOO
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
OOO
Waiting (however long...)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...)
Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...)
OOO
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
