Chapter One - You always Stare

The gang sat scattered around the Evans' backyard. It was the second to last day of their summer break before senior year and the Evans' twins had invited their friend for one final swim before classes began. Or rather Ryan had invited everyone; Sharpay had remained indifferent on the matter.

Gabriella and Troy were currently in an evenly matched game of chicken verse Kelsi and Ryan. The two girls giggled madly as they tried to push the other off her respective mans' shoulder. Jason, Zeke and Chad were caught up in a game of water basketball with Taylor as their scorekeeper. Sharpay meanwhile kept to herself as she say away from the group, lying contently on a lawn chair with a magazine in hand completely content on ignoring the childish antics of the others.

Sharpay had just turned to the next page of her magazine as a loud shriek followed by an even loud splash sounded from the pool, causing the others' to focus attention towards the game of chicken being played at the other end of the pool. Kelsi and Ryan cheered victoriously as Gabriella and Troy resurfaced from under the water.

After his celebration, Ryan carefully turned in his sister's direction also being careful to continue balancing Kelsi on his shoulders. "Hey Shar, why don't you join us?"

A slim hand moved to the rim of a pair of sunglasses, slowly lowering them to reveal dark brown eyes. "No."

Gabriella moved her long and now wet black hair from her face. "Come on Sharpay it's the last chance you'll have to have fun before school starts."

The blonde's slim brow rose as her eyes moved from one end of the pool to the other. "I don't play basketball."

"Who said you had to play basketball?" Troy put in.

"I don't want to play Chicken either." Sharpay replied harshly, replacing her sunglasses and raising her magazine back up to level with her face.

Gabriella and Troy looked at one another before they shrugged and swam towards the water basketball game. Ryan sighed sadly as he looked at his sister before Kelsi dragged him towards the others as well.

"We should play teams." Jason said when the others had made it.

Zeke nodded "four on four."

Taylor shook her head; "I'd rather not play. I like staying out and keeping the score."

Jason's brows knotted together. "Well then we could do three on four?"

Chad shook his head, droplets of water spraying Taylor as he did so. "Nah, don't worry about it guys. Play three on three. I'll sit this one out."

"You sure Chad?" Gabriella asked, ready to give up her spot for him so she could sit out with her best friend.

"Positive. Have fun, I'll play on winning teams side next round."

The others nodded and Troy and Jason went over the rules for their game. A small smile appeared on Chad's lips as he swim to the opposite end of the pool to get out. He walked to the chair he had left his towel on and grabbed it, slowly drying his body as he started towards Sharpay. He needed to get under her skin at least once today before he head towards Taylor.

"What are you reading?" He asked from over her chair, his body casting a shadow over her.

For a moment her eyes shifted from the magazine article to the teen overhead. "What does it look like Danforth? A magazine."

A scowl appeared on her as a few drops of water fell on her chest and got absorbed into the paper of the magazine. Dark eyes glared up at him as a slim hand moved to brush the droplets away.

"Do you mind?"

He smiled down at and moved out of her light, but instead of moving back towards the others like she had hope the large haired teen took a seat on the lawn chair beside her. She pointedly ignoring him and continued to read the article he had interrupted moments before.

The smile on Chad's face grew; he quickly glanced at the others. They were all too absorbed with the three on three-basketball game to have noticed that he wasn't sitting beside his girlfriend. That was just fine with him. It just meant that he'd get away with bothering Sharpay without being interrogated.

His gaze switched back to Sharpay and he took in the sight of her. This wasn't the first time he chances a look at her. No it was far from the first time. There had always been an interest in Sharpay since the moment she had arrived at East High. She had been beautiful then and even more beautiful now.

His eyes shifted over her body. She had definitely grown since the first time he had seen her. Her legs were a bit longer and greatly defined. A smirk replaced the smile on his face. Her breast were a lot fuller now then they had been back then as well and her body curved in all the right places that could drive any guy, and often did, mad.

Chad blinked, slightly surprised to be staring into her dark narrowed eyes over the rim of her magazine.

"Are you done?"

He tilted his head to the side, watching as she turned another page in the magazine. "Done with what?"

"Staring at me." She stated in a bored tone.

Chad could have laughed. He finally got caught it seemed. "Who said I was staring at you?"

Sharpay looked at him from the corner of her eyes. "You always stare at me Danforth."

His smirk widened and he opened his to reply but was interrupted.

"Chad! Come here." Taylor's voice broke through the laughing and shouting from the water basketball game he had momentarily ignored. He turned his head to see his girlfriend wave him over.

"I'll talk to you later princess."

Sharpay watched him a stoic expression on her face. "I'll dread the moment." A fake smile appeared on her lips as she waved him off. "Tootles."

He waited until she had returned her attention to the magazine to risk another look at her body. She had always been a sight, an unattainable beauty that a small part of him had always wanted. Chad mimicked her one last time before he walked back around the pool towards Taylor. A scoff slipped from her lips as the magazine slid down cautiously so she too could sneak a peek.
