Chapter 1: Sound Like a Slut t me

All the guys were in their regular practice time. Not long ago, Zeke tried out of the UCLA team and actually got in. So now it's all the guys in the basketball team like in high school.

"I wonder who is our new coach," Chad said, practicing dribbling with Zeke.

"Yeah, even though I haven't been here long enough, I still didn't get to see the old coach," Zeke said.

"He retired way before you even got to UCLA," Troy said.

"I hope our new coach isn't those who makes you practice until your feet drops," Jason said. The rest of the guys nodded.

"Oh my god! That's Leo Rodriguez!" Chad shouted, pointing at the gym doors with a tall Spanish man in a suit and a girl next to her wearing a navy blue Abercrombie cami with a white and pink Aeropostale polo shirt. She was also wearing jean capris from Hollister.

"Day-y-umn! That girl is hot!" Chad pointed at the girl.

"She's alright," Troy said.

"She looks like a college version of Jessica Alba," Jason said.

"At least she doesn't dress like Jessica or I'll be drooling right now," Zeke said.

"Don't you guys remember that you all have girlfriends?" Troy asked. Chad, Zeke, and Jason stared at him like he was crazy. "What?"

"Just because we have girlfriends, doesn't mean we don't have the freedom to look at hot girls," Chad said.

"No wonder you get beat up by your girlfriend."

"Hey! I don't get beat up. I get hit constantly."

"Is there a difference?" A whistle blew. All the basketball players look up to see the man and the girl standing at the sideline of the gym. They all run up to them.

"Hello. I'm your coach, Leo Rodriguez. You may know me as the coach of the LA Lakers. By the end of the season, I will pick some of you to be on the LA Lakers team with a two-year contract. But only qualifies for people who work hard and keeps up the spirit of basketball. This is my daughter, Victoria Rodriguez," their new coach said, introducing the girl, "she will be helping us with the equipment management. Please welcome both of us and I'll know we'll have a blast playing together." He smiled and the team smiled back at him.

"Okay let's start practicing drills. Show me what you got!" Leo yelled. Victoria walked to the bleachers and sat down. She watched the players as they practice, but one caught her eye.

After practice, Troy went to take a shower in the locker room. When he came out, he saw Victoria talking to her dad. But when Victoria turned to look at him, she waved. He had no choice but to wave back. She looked like she said bye to her dad and she ran to Troy.

"Hi I'm Victoria. But you can call me Ria," Victoria said.

"Hello Ria. I'm Chad, this is Zeke, and this is Jason," Chad said, interrupting the conversation.

"Hi Chad. Hi Zeke. Hi Jason. You guys played really good out there."

"Really? I didn't notice," Zeke said.

"You guys are really great. My dad said he's so impressed with the techniques you guys already know."

"Wow. Really? That gives us a chance closer into being in the Lakers."

"Totally. Anyways, What's your name?" Victoria said, looking at Troy.

"I'm ummm…"

"He's Troy Bolton," Jason said, putting his hand on Troy's shoulder and shaking it.

"Well, Troy, do you want to have some coffee with me?" Victoria asked.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend," Troy answered. Chad put on an 'I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that-to-a-hot-girl' look.

"It's alright. I just want us to go as friends. To get to know you better. My dad said you're the best player he's seen in the team."

"Umm… Sure." Victoria smiled and walk out the gym with Troy following her. Before he walked out, he turned around.

"You guys, tell Gabi I'll be late for dinner." He turned back around and walked the rest of the way.

"Where is Troy?" Gabriella said. She kept walking back and forth in the hallway.

"Don't worry. He'll be here," Taylor said.

"This isn't the first time he missed a date." Gabriella was wearing a BCBG blue dress. Suddenly the door opens to see… Chad, Jason, and Zeke.

"Where's Troy?!" Gabriella asked. She grabbed Chad's shirt and raised him up. Not quite.

"Chill, Gabi. If you calm down, we'll tell you," Chad said. Gabriella let go of Chad's shirt and took a deep breathe.

"Troy went to hang out with the new coach's daughter," Zeke answered. Gabriella held her breathe and fakely smiled. She stomped upstairs and ran into her room, or Chad's house's guest room.

"Why is he hanging out with the new coach's daughter?" Taylor asked as soon as Gabriella slammed the door.

"Because she asked him to. He even said that he has a girlfriend, but she said 'oh no, just as friends' to him, so he agreed," Jason said.

"This isn't fair to Gabi. Troy's been missing dates ever since she transferred to Los Angeles," Kelsi said.

"Well, Ria is hot, like Jessica Alba hot," Chad chuckled. Taylor glared at him.

"Ria?" Sharpay said.

"Yeah, the new coach, Leo Rodriguez's daughter, Victoria Rodriguez. She told us to call her Ria."

"Sound like a slut to me," Taylor snapped.

"She's totally hot. Seriously like a college version of Jessica Alba," Zeke said. Sharpay slapped him on the back of his head.

"How about Gabi? What should we do?"

"Tell her the truth?" Jason said in an obvious tone.

"Yeah, why don't you tell her the truth then, Jason?" Sharpay snapped back.

"Well…"

"Well what?" They all turn to see Gabriella in a white cami and a pink American Eagle sweatpants.

"Nothing."

"I can't believe Troy missed another date. Over a stupid girl. Who you say she is?" Gabriella sat next to Sharpay.

"She's the new coach's daughter. A college version of Jessica Alba," Sharpay said.

"I heard she's going to UCLA with all of us," Chad said. The girls groan.

"If I meet this girl, I swear I will never be friends with her," Gabriella said. Little did she know that they were going to be the best of friends.
