Hey guys! This is just a short starting chapter to see what you guys think..please review and let me know whether I should carry this on! Thankyou! :)

"Dude, where are all the hot girls this summer?" Chad exclaimed to his two friends, Troy and Zeke. Instead of going home for the summer, they had decided to stay at their school, Ocean Blue Academy. It was the first day of summer and the three were lying on the beach checking out every girl that walked past them, but so far nobody had took their interest.

"How about her? I'd tap that!" Zeke said, gesturing towards a blonde girl in a pink bikini.

"Already have," Troy smirked.

"What? When?" Chad asked in interest.

"Don't you remember? Sharpay in 8th grade, she was my first," Troy replied.

"How many girls have you had... you know... with?" Zeke asked. Troy laughed.

"Too many!"

"Would you introduce me to her one time?" Zeke asked, glancing back over at Sharpay.

"Sure!" Troy grinned.

"Ha! Check out her friend!" Chad laughed and pointed at a girl with long, dark wavy hair that was scraped back. She was wearing huge glasses, an oversized t-shirt and swimming shorts that swamped her tiny figure.

"Would you hook up with her?" Zeke asked Troy jokingly. He burst out laughing and shook his head.

"Geeky Gabriella? No way!" Troy replied in disgust. Chad smiled to himself.

"Hey, are you up for a bet?" Chad asked him.

"You bet I am!" Troy replied, oblivious to Chad's plans. He was always up for a bet.

"Make her the hottest girl in the school by the end of the summer," Chad stated. Troy snorted.

"Impossible!"

"And make her fall in love with you."

"She probably already is!" Troy said.

"So you're in? And if you lose you have to hook up with her," Chad added.

"Whatever," Troy said rolling his eyes, but inside hoping that he would never lose this bet. Chad grinned and stood up.

"Sharpay! Gabriella! Over here!" Chad yelled, waving his arms in the air. The two girls looked startled, but began heading over.

"Thanks Chad!" Zeke said excitedly.

"Troy." Sharpay said, standing over him. Troy sat up.

"Sharpay. It's been a while," He replied slyly. Sharpay looked sad for a minute until Zeke jumped up.

"Do you want to grab a drink?" He asked. Sharpay shrugged.

"Sure," she said. The two walked off.

"I'm gonna go for a swim," Chad winked at Troy, and gave him the thumbs up behind Gabriella's back before running towards the ocean.

"So I'm Troy." He said, flashing her a smile.

"I know," She said shyly.

"So what classes do you take? I haven't seen you around much."

"You're in all of my classes," Gabriella replied, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh." There was an awkward silence. Troy studied the girl for a moment. Where to start? He thought. First, get rid of the glasses.

"Hey, have you ever thought about getting contacts? You have such pretty eyes," Troy told her.

"Um no," She replied awkwardly. "Hey, do you want to play soccer?" She asked, noticing a ball next to the heap of towels. Troy laughed.

"You can play soccer?"

"Sure!" She smiled.

"You're on!!" He jumped up and offered his hand out to Gabriella. She took it and pulled herself up.

Gabriella kicked the ball way down the beach and grinned at Troy before running after it. Troy smiled and chased after her, but she was too quick. She caught up with the ball and kicked it in the opposite direction.

"Come on, keep up! Loser!" She shouted behind her shoulder at him. He rolled his eyes and grabbed her, flinging her over his shoulder. "Hey! That s cheating! Put me down!"

"Not until you say 'Troy Bolton is the sexiest person alive!' "

"No!" Gabriella yelled, kicking her legs about.

"Come on, or I ll have to tickle you!"

"No!"

"Ooooo.... Is Gabi ticklish?"

"No!" Gabriella lied. Troy chuckled and began tickling her.

"TROY! Stop!" She screamed.

"Urgh! TROY BOLTON IS THE SEXIEST PERSON ALIVE!!" She yelled.

"Better," He smiled, putting her down on the sand. "Who's the loser now?"

He grinned down at her and ran off with the ball, kicking it along.

"Come catch me!" He shouted. Gabriella jumped up and chased after him, tackling him to the ground and falling on top of him. She looked at him shyly and he held her gaze.

"Umm.. I'm sorry," She stammered, clumsily clambering to her feet.

"It's fine!" He winked at her before getting to his feet himself.

"Come on; let's go back over to the group." He grabbed her hand and they ran over to Chad, Zeke and Sharpay.
