Chapter 1

"Hey Troy Boy. Ready for one of the biggest moments in our lives?"

"Of course Paybabe, as long as we're together right?"

"Of course." Sharpay said smiling, Troy smiling right back at her. They we're currently standing outside East High School. It was their first day of high school and they were both nervous wrecks. "We should make a pact."

"For what?"

"Well its high school things are bound to change, and,"

"You don't want us to."

"How did,"

"I know?"

"Stop finishing my sentences for me!" Sharpay said socking Troy hard on the arm.

"Ow! Look Pay, I feel the same way, and we're not going to change. I'll still be Troy and you'll still be Sharpay and we'll always be best friends no matter what. I don't need some pact to kept that promise to you."

"I know, but still it would help." Sharpay said. Troy sighed.

"Fine, you know I can't say no to you. Here," Troy said taking something out of his pocket. "I was going to wait and give this to you at the end of they day, but you seem to need it now." It was a silver necklace. The letters 'T' and 'S' were entwined and engraved on a heart.

"Aw, Troy your too sweet. I love it, thank you! I'm never taking it off." Sharpay said still looking at the necklace.

"Shall we?" Troy asked as he held out his hand for Sharpay to take. Sharpay smiled before firmly placing her hand in his and entwining them.

"Let's do this."

Three Years later….Senior Year…..

"Can you believe its senior year already? It seems like just yesterday we were freshmen. So much has changed!" Gabriella Montez said as she bounced around her best friend.

"Ugh, Gabriella stop hopping around, you look retarded." Sharpay snapped. She was currently putting her books into her locker.

"Gosh Shar, what's up your butt? I know you have that Ice Queen mode on right now, but you seriously don't have to throw a bucket of that iciness on me. I'm your best friend, if there's something wrong just say so." Gabriella said. She had stopped jumping around and was now looking at Sharpay with concern. Sharpay sighed.

"I know. I'm sorry Gabs. I didn't mean to, its just, today is just a not good day for me. It brings back bad memories."

"Excuse me! We met three years ago on this day!" Gabriella exclaimed.

"I didn't mean you Gabs, because I am so glad I met you."

"I know. What would you do without me?"

"I would simply die." Sharpay says over dramatically. Both looked at each other smiling.

"What are you two smiling about?" Ryan asked as he hugged both Gabriella and Sharpay at the same time.

"Wow the Ice Queen's actually smiling, hell must have frozen over."

"Shut it Bolton." Sharpay sneered. She didn't want to see him at all today, but that would be impossible since they have every class together.

"Oh, Troy she looks serious. Be careful you might freeze." Chad Danforth said. He and Troy began to laugh even harder.

"Lets go Shar." Ryan says. He grabbed both girls bags before heading towards homeroom with Ms. Darbus. Sharpay just glared at Troy the whole time she was walking away.

"Welcome class. This year we will not be doing a play. This year you guys are going to sing some songs. You can choose one or make an original, choice is yours." Ms. Darbus says. Most of the people including Troy Bolton groaned.

"But Ms. Darbus, I can't write music. I don't even know how to sing!" Chad exclaimed. Ms. Darbus smiled.

"That's the twist, you are going to do duets. Male and Female." Chad sighed thinking that he was just going to choose some cheerleader to help him with the work.

"And I'm picking your partners for you. NO exceptions." Half the class groaned again.

"Now that all was said, I'm going to match you all up. Lets see, hmm. Mr. Danforth you will be working with Ms. McKessie." Chad bunched his eyebrows together in confusion.

"Who's McKessie?" He asked. Ms. Darbus looked at him before continuing.

"Mr. Cross, you have the liberty of working with Ms. Nielson. Please let him do some of the work Kelsie, other wise it would be fair." Kelsie nodded her head furiously. She was so very shy and she had liked Jason for a while now.

Most of the class was paired off all that was left was Sharpay, Troy, Daniel, and Emma. Sharpay was really starting to get nervous, she did not want to be paired up with the egotistical Troy Bolton.

"Mr. Bolton, you will be working with.."

"Please say Emma, please say Emma, please…." Sharpay was whispering.

"Ms. Evans. That leaves Daniel and Emma, you two will work with each other."

"Crap!" Sharpay says out loud.

"Language dear!" Ms. Darbus says.

"Sorry." Sharpay whispers before sinking down in her seat. Troy and the rest of his brainwashed basketball buddies were laughing at her.

"This sucks." Sharpay said. It was lunch time. She, Gabriella, and Ryan were sitting at the top of the cafeteria, where they could see everything and everyone in the cafeteria.

"I know Shar, but you'll have a song done in no time, then all you two have to do is sing it together once and we're off to college and you wont ever have to see Troy ever again."

"Thanks Ryan. You always know what to say."

"So you never really told me about what happened between you and Troy, Shar. I mean freshmen year you two were closer than we are today." Sharpay sighed.

"It's complicated."

"Isn't it always?" Gabriella says. She was determined to find out why her best friend was acting all weird today.

"Okay then. Well it started about two and a half years ago. The second half of freshman year…………."

"Hey Paypay."

"Hi Troysie. What's wrong?" Sharpay asked.

"Nothing." Troy said looking down.

"Come on. Don't you think I know you well enough to tell when you are lying or not. We've been best friends since kindergarten Troy Matthew Alexander Bolton."

"I know Sharpay Marie Emily Evans. It's just that I'm so tired of being unnoticed. You know the geeks who get pushed around. I hate it."

"So do I. Vacation is coming up. What are you going to do?"

"Well were going to go visit my cousins in California. What about you?"

"The usual. Hang out at Lava Springs."

"I'm going to miss you Pay."

"I'm going to miss you too Troy Boy." Sharpay said her eyes watering up. Troy pulled her into a hug.

Two Months Later………

"Whoa, Troy what happened to you?" Sharpay asked eyes wide.

"I knew it was a bad idea." Troy said covering his eyes.

"What are you talking about Troy, you look hot! When did you get contacts? And since when did you start fixing your hair?"

"Um, my cousin in California kind of helped me out a little."

"So Troy, you trying out for the basketball team?" Chad Danforth asked. He was the star player of the basketball team and Troy idolized him.

"Um yeah, my dad is the coach and he sort of wants me to try out." Troy smiled.

"Cool. See you around Bolton."

"Hey Bolton, what's with the extra baggage?" Chad asked laughing at Sharpay. Sharpay looked at Troy expectantly, he usually would defend her, but he just looked down and rubbed the back of his neck. Sharpay knew from that moment that things would begin to change and that Troy wouldn't keep his promise.

"Troy?" Sharpay whimpered.

"Lets just go Sharpay." Sharpay. He had not called her Sharpay since they had become friends.

"And then everything just changed. Now I'm the Ice Queen, and he's the basketball god at East High." Sharpay said looking down.

"Aw, Shar, I'm sorry, Troy Bolton is an ass."

"It's okay Gabs, all I have to do is sing a song with him, and then were done. We all go to Julliard and bye-bye Troy Bolton." Sharpay said with a sigh. She didn't know where to begin with this project. She couldn't just fail it, her parents would kill her.

"Watch out Troy, the Ice Queen is heading our way. Don't want to touch her, you'll freeze! Beerrrrrhhh." Chad exaggerated, making Sharpay roll her eyes.

"Bolton." Sharpay said stopping next to his locker.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your fine company this evening Ms. Evans?" Troy said smiling, just knowing that it would piss Sharpay off.

"Shut up you jack ass. My house at three. Don't be late or your going to do the assignment by yourself." Sharpay said walking away. The wildcats including Troy laughed. Sharpay groaned. No matter how much she wanted to hate Troy, she still loves him, and she still gets weak in the knees when he smiles.

"Careful Troy you might catch something." Chad says laughing his head off. Troy smiled and turned to put his things in his locker. This was going to be the first time in three years, since he's been to the Evans' estate.
