Author's Note: A new story. I'm writing a Troypay for once. Let's see how many fans I get on this one. xD Underlined words will be in third person. Or, like. Emphasized.

Title: One Guy, Two Girls

Summary: Sharpay loves Troy, but so does Gabriella. Drama. A lot of drama. Crushes compete with true love, but only one girl prevails through the harsh catfights.

Disclaimer: I certainly do NOT own High School Musical or any of its contents. Oh, yeah. Radnesscoolnessforevah...ness. xD

Prologue: Score for Me, Zip for Elfie

"Uh, hi, Troy..."

I could see other kids pointing at me and giggling. Yeah, I guess that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. To see the Ice Princess mess up while asking a guy out.

"Maybe someday we could see each other..."

But he wasn't just a guy. He was Troy Bolton. The Troy Bolton. If anyone knew how I felt around him, then... they'd understand. But nobody understands me. Me, the Ice Princess.

Troy blinked with confusion, and I could feel my cheeks warming. But, fortunately, he seemed to get the picture. "Sure, Sharpay. I'll go out with you." He gave me that stunning smile.

But then I tripped up. "No," I blurted out. What the heck am I saying? I thought, my face slowly turning red--or at least I think it was... oh, gosh. Apparently there's an evil little elf stuck in my head who enjoys watching me mess up and get all embarrassed. Usually the Ice Princess is oblivious to the elf. I mean, I have a reputation. But when Troy's anywhere within a yard of me, the elf gains power. What now, little elf? What... now.

"No?" Troy asked. He looked really confused.

"Um, no! Yes!... yes, I'll go out with you!" I said again, trying to fix my mistake. Obviously I was failing...

"I'm free tonight, if you are," he told me. Hm. Maybe I was succeeding. "We can have dinner and a movie... pick you up at six?" Oh, is he a lifesaver. And a hot one, too. If there's any girl who isn't totally in love with Troy Bolton, then, like... there's something seriously wrong with them. I could practically feel my heart begin to melt as his beautiful blue eyes burned into mine. He's just so... incredibly gorgeous. He's nice, too, not stuck-up like any other cute kid. He's kind. And perfect. He's just Troy. I couldn't expect anything less.

Slowly, but effectively, he was melting the Ice Princess to the core.

"Sure," I breathed, not even daring to blink, to miss a split second of his sweet face. "That'll be perfect." Thank goodness I didn't mess this up. Again.

"Great," Troy responded, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. "I'll see you tonight." Oh, right. School was over. Am I stupid or what.

"Yeah," I whispered, but he was already halfway down the hall, so he probably couldn't hear. So there, little elf. I'd gotten myself a date with Troy Bolton, the most perfect guy in all of the world. So... there.

Author's Note: Well, Troypay dudes/chicks? Like it? Dislike it? Is it any good at all? Review, please. Tell me your thoughts. xD This was the prologue, so it's short. Trust me, the following chapters will be longer.
