Chapter 1

Troy Bolton walked through the doors of East High, and immediately people who were talking in groups separated for him. He was crowned the King of East High, and you do not mess with him or his friends. If you do, the entire basketball team will be after you.

Troy kept his eyes straight, ignoring the looks the girls were giving him. He kept walking and did a hair flip, flipping his floppy side bangs out of his eyes. Girls around him squealed, and looked at him with dreamy eyes. Then he banged right into someone. Troy looked down and saw a petite girl who had curly brown hair. She quickly rushed away before Troy could say anything. Troy shrugged it off and walked over to his locker, only to be greeted by the entire basketball team and his friends.

"Yo! Look it's Troy!" Zeke Baylor hollared to the team behind him.

"Hey Troy!" Marissa Ann, a cheerleader said.

"Hoops!" Chad Danforth greeted his best friend, by patting him on the back.

"Hey everyone." Troy said cooly, and the cheerleaders sighed happily.

Suddenly, a tall girl with long blonde hair, and green eyes came walking down the hallway. Her hips swayed side to side, and she was wearing a pair of extremely short shorts, and her top showed a lot of cleavage. She walked over to Troy and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Hey baby." She cooed while tracing her finger up and down Troy's chest.

"Hey Ruby." Troy replied, and slowly pushed her hand away from his chest.

"So, are you excited for tonight?" Ruby said seductively, and a smirk formed across her pink lips.

Troy gulped. He wasn't exactly ready, he didn't even like Ruby in that way. Heck, he didn't even like Ruby. He was only going out with her because she was the only cheerleader not taken, and besides, the basketball captain and the head cheerleader were suppose to be together.

"No." Troy replied reluctantly, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Why" Ruby replied.

"I'm sorry Ruby but to be honest I don't have any feelings for you. I never did and it's not fair of me to string you along like this. We're done," said Troy, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Excuse me?" she asked, crossing her arms, her hip jutting out. "You did not just break up with me? Oh my god you piece of trash! How dare you humiliate me like this!"

Ruby's voice was reaching a pitch only dogs could hear causing various students to turn their heads and watch as the fight began to unfold.

"The only one humiliating you is you," said Troy. "You could have simply taken this and accepted it. Instead you're screaming and bringing this to everyone's attention."

"Screw you Bolton. You'll regret this!" she said whipping her hair around as she turned on her heel and stomped off.

I am glad you broke up with her said Marissa"

Same here said Troy"

Before Marissa could say anything, Chad butted in.

"Hoops! Look there's the science nerds, we can get our homework from them!" Chad exclaimed, and pulled Troy to the group of frightened science nerds.

Zeke was pushing up a guy with black hair and glasses to the wall. Jason Cross, another member of the basketball team was holding an African American girl by the arm, not letting her go.

"Let me go!" The girl screamed.

"Not until you give us your homework." Jason replied back.

"No!" The girl said angrily.

"Well, well. Look who we have here, McKessie." Chad said evilly.

"Danforth." The girl said through gritted teeth.

"That's right, look, I need your science homework, I forgot to do mine." Chad said with a smirk playing on his lips.

"Like I'll ever give it to you!" Taylor McKessie spat back angrily.

"Are you sure about that?" Chad said picking up her bag from the floor, and digging into it. Papers were thrown out of her bag, and ripped apart. Chad looked through her bag, and took out a mini glass snow globe, with a little cottage in it, covered with snow. There were mini pine trees, and a mini snowman in it. He held it up.

"And what's this?" Chad asked.

"Stop, p-please don't. I'll give you my science homework, and my math homework. Just don't." Taylor begged.

"I won't." Chad said.

Taylor sighed of relief.

"But Troy will." Chad said smirking, once again.

All eyes were turned to Troy, and it was dead silent. Chad walked over to Troy, and handed him the snow globe. Troy stared at it.

"Troy! Please don't." Taylor said with tears streaming down her face.

"Well Troy?" Chad said patting his back.

Troy ran his finger across the snow globe, and along the silver bottom of the snow globe. He looked at it closely, and engraved on the silver bottom in cursive letters were the words Winter Memories.

Troy flipped the snow globe over, and there was a message written on the back.

Taylor McKessie,

Always remember that not every piece of snow is alike.

If you look in close enough, every single one is unique, and beautiful.

Love Always,

Your Grandpa Joe

Troy took a few seconds to take in these words. Not every piece of snow is alike. Every single one is unique, and beautiful. He felt tears brimming in his eyes, but blinked them away.

He loosed his hands on the snow globe, and pulled it away. It felt like everything was in slow motion, the snow globe fell to the ground, making a crackling noise as it hit the hard tiled floors. The glass pieces shattered. Water poured from the snow globe, and formed a puddle. The pieces inside dropped onto the floor, and slid down the hallway. But the silver bottom, it cracked to pieces.

Troy couldn't take it anymore, he ran down the hallway and down to the gym, ignoring the looks students were giving him. Then again he bumped into a girl, the same one he bumped into this morning.

"Why the hell do I keep bumping into you?! Get away from me!" He screamed at the girl, who fell back frightened.

He ran into the gym, and crawled behind the bleachers where no one could see him. He slid down with tears cascading down his face. He buried his face into his hands and whispered,

"I wish I could change back."
