Ashley's point of view 


I was getting punched and kicked by a gang. I was in salt lake Utah for a vacation. "Hey stop!" Someone yelled.

The gang ran away. The person walked over to me. He helped me up. "Hi. I'm Roman." He said. "Hi. I'm Ashley." I said. 

I looked at him. "You're Roman banks." I said. "Yeah I am." He said. "It's nice to meet you." I said. "Nice to meet you too."

He said. I looked into his eyes. "You have beautiful eyes." He said. I blushed. "Thank you." I said. "Your welcome." He said.

"Can I get your number to stay in touch?" I asked. "Of course." He said. We gave each other our numbers.


2 weeks later 


I was getting ready to go back home. Roman was there to say goodbye. "I'm going to miss you." I said. "Me too." He said.

We hugged each other tightly. I'm going for it. I'm going to kiss him. I kissed him. He kissed back. We made out for a while.

We pulled away. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. "Yes." I said. He gave me a peck on the lips. "I will text you." I said.

"Okay." He said. "Bye." I said. "Bye." He said. I walked onto the plane.

9 months later 


I was in salt lake again. I was going to work on high school musical the musical the series as Sarah ms. Jen's niece.

I was nervous. I walked into the room for the table read. "There she is." Tim said walking over to me. "Guys this is..."

He started. "Ashley?" Someone asked. I looked at the person. It was Roman. "Hey Roman."I said. He walked up to me.

We hugged. I smiled. He smiled. I gave him a peck on the lips. "Hey. Are you going to introduce her?" Someone asked. 

We turned around. "Hi. I'm Ashley Shelton and I'm Roman's girlfriend." I said. "She is also playing Sarah." Tim said.

"Really?" Roman asked. I smiled. "Surprise." I said. We sat down. "Time to start the table read for hsmtmts 3x01." Tim said. 

We started reading. "We started the episode in a hospital. Where 16 year old girl sitting on the hospital bed." He said.

"Mom! Dad!" I said in character. "A nurse walked into the room." He said. "Where are my parents?" I asked. 

"Ms. you were in a car accident. I'm so sorry but your parents died." Someone said. "No!!" I said loudly. 

"She starts crying. Cut to east high a month later. Sarah is walking in the hallway trying to find her next class. 

When she bumps into someone." Tim said. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry." I said. "It's okay. Hey are you new?" Julia asked. 

"Yeah. I'm Sarah." I said. "I'm Ashlyn." She said. "Do you know where geometry is?" I asked. "Yeah. 

I'm actually going there now." She said. "They walked to geometry. Cut to lunch. Sarah and Ashlyn are getting their lunch.

When Antoine came up to them." Tim said. "bonjour." Andrew said. "bonjour." I said. "My name is Antoine." He said.

"I'm Sarah." I said. "I thought you went to north high." She said. "Sarah!" Katie said. "Sarah and noticed her aunt." Tim said.

"Aunt Jennifer?" I asked. "They hugged. Cut to after school. Sarah and ms. went home. Sarah goes into her room.

Music started playing. Sarah started singing." He said. 


A week later 


We were doing recording. "Ashley you got this." Roman said. I walked into the recording booth. He gives me a thumbs up.

I waved. I put the headphones on. I took a deep breath. The music started playing. I started singing. 

🎶I've learned to slam on the brake

Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun because you've learned
Because you've learned

On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I tried to speak but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun because you've learned
Because you've learned

On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I tried to speak but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I tried to speak but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

Is anybody waving
Waving, waving

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh🎶

I put down the headphones. I walked out of the recording booth. They clapped. Roman walked over to me.

 "You do really great." He said. "Thank you." I said. "Your welcome." He said.
