Hey all FanFiction readers!! I'm Jenni, and my co-writer is Alex! We came up with this idea one day and started going. Part of the first chapter is based on the things that you could vote for on for HSM2. Please, R&R, but if you have flames, we'd rather you not flame. Here's chapter one of Middle School Musical!

Discalimer: We do not own HSM or any related characters EXCEPT Marissa, Katlyn, Chris, and Jacob.

Chapter 1 -- Meet Marissa

Sharpay Evans sat by the pool. She looked like she was reading a fashion magazine, but everyone knew she was spying on Troy. Troy rolled his eyes. He was getting just a little sick of her.

Okay, make that very sick of her.

Ryan was sitting in a chair next to her, reading a book called 'The Brief History of Hats'. "Do you know where Marissa is?" he asked looking up.

"No. And why should I care?" Sharpay asked rudely.

"Because mom said to look after her," he said.

"She meant you," Sharpay said, obviously with no intention of finding - or caring about finding - Marissa. Troy rolled his eyes.

A teen walked over. She had long blonde hair up in two ponytails. She was wearing a pink tee shirt with an M on it, blue jeans, and black flip flops. She walked up to Sharpay and crossed her arms. She cleared her throat trying to get their attention.

Sharpay ignored her. Chad, who was just relaxing in the pool, rolled his eyes. "You can at least try to be polite Sharpay," He said.

"Don't tell me what to do," Sharpay said, not looking down at Chad.

"Yeah, listen to the tall person!" The girl exclaimed.

Gabriella walked up to Troy. "Hi," she said smiling.

"Hey you," Troy said. Sharpay glared daggers at Gabriella.

"Shut up Marissa," Sharpay said.

Marissa rolled her eyes, "Where is the snack bar?" she asked.

"Over there," Ryan said.

Marissa smiled, "Thanks," she said walking away.

Gabriella kissed his cheek, not seeing Sharpay. Marissa giggled softly at Sharpay, grabbing her strawberry smoothie. She walked over to Sharpay, "Something wrong, sis?" she asked fakely.

"Leave me alone," Sharpay said. She got up and walked over to where Troy and Gabriella were standing. She shoved Gabriella out of the way and snapped "Move!"

"Okay," Gabriella said rubbing her arm. Marissa smirked.

"Hi Troy," Sharpay said, grinning. If Troy could've, he would've run out of the pool, so he did the next best thing and dived into the pool.

"Hm, odd," Sharpay said.

"Not really. No one likes you," Chad said. Sharpay sent him a glare that (if looks could kill) would've slaughtered Chad a thousand times over.

Gabriella giggled and stripped down to her bikini and jumped in after him.

Marissa walked over, "I like this guy," she said pointing to Chad, "He has a touch of reality," she said taking a sip of her smoothie.

Sharpay rolled her eyes and pushed Marissa into the pool.

Marissa fell in with a splash and quickly came up to the surface. She smiled evilly. She quickly grabbed Sharpay's ankle and dragged her into the pool.

Sharpay screamed. "YOU RUINED MY MAKEUP!" Chad laughed. Troy felt bad about laughing, but he did too.

"YOU RUINED MINE!" Marissa yelled just as loud.

"Who cares about you??? I have a reputation!" Sharpay yelled.

Marissa laughed out loud, "Yeah, okay," she said. She pushed Sharpay back under.

Troy tried so hard not to laugh, especially because Sharpay was evil and could hurt him, but he couldn't help it.

Marissa smiled triumphantly and started to get out of the pool.

Sharpay surfaced and screamed, mascara running down her face. "You're walking home today!" She howled, pointing to Marissa.

"Actually, I can drive you home," Troy said.

"Yeah, anything to make Sharpay mad," Chad chimed in.

Marissa climbed up, "Thanks guys," she said smiling.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Sharpay yelled.

"It's a free country," Chad said, getting out of the pool. Under his breath, he muttered "Ice queen."

Marissa giggled, "See ya sis! Have fun," she said waving.

Sharpay screamed in frustration. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!" She screamed.

Marissa rolled her eyes and walked away, behind Troy, Gabi and Chad.

Ryan walked over, "Need help?" he asked.

"What do you think?" Sharpay asked.

"I don't know...that's why I asked," he said slowly. Clearly, he didn't really know if she needed help.

"Oh just shut up and help me out," Sharpay snapped.

Ryan leaned foreward and offered his hand. Sharpay grabbed his hand and pulled herself out of the pool.

"Do you need a towel, Shar?" he asked.

"Don't call me that, and yes!" Sharpay said.

Ryan nodded and got her a towel. "Here you go, Sharpay," he said. Sharpay snatched the towel from him and walked towards the restroom, where no doubt, she would redo her makeup.

Ryan rolled her eyes and started reading A Brief History of Hats again.

------------------------

Chad hopped out of the car. "See ya later Troy," He said. Troy waved. Gabi and Marissa waved. Chad waved back and walked inside the house.

"My house next!" Gabi exclaimed.

Troy laughed. "Okay, okay," He said, pulling out of the drive.

Marissa laughed. Troy grinned.

"You are nothing like Sharpay," Gabriella said.

"Thanks," Marissa said.

"Yeah, I think the kids at your school would fall over in shock if they knew," Troy said.

"Right now, they have no idea I'm related to her," she said to Troy. "And I'd like to keep it that way," she said to herself.

Troy pulled into Gabriella's driveway. "Here we are," He said.

Gabriella stepped out and waved to Troy and Marissa. Troy waved back. "Bye!" He said.

Marissa waved. Troy pulled out of Gabriella's driveway.

"I live in Ridgeway Community," she said. "It is so boring," she muttered.

"Alright," Troy said, not hearing the last part.

Marissa leaned back. Troy turned on the radio.

Marissa started softly starting singing along. She had an extraordinary voice. Maybe even better than Sharpay.

"Wow... You're a singer?" Troy asked.

Marissa looked up and turned beet red. No one had ever heard her sing. She was afraid that Sharpay would get mad. "N-no, not really. I...um...just do it for fun," she said nervously.

"Uh huh... Suuure," Troy said, grinning. "Which school do you go to?"

"East Middle," she said. "And I'm not a singer!" she protested. She, unlike Sharpay, couldn't lie.

"I think they have musical auditions tomorrow. Sign up!" Troy encouraged.

"No! I need a partner! And...I only have one guyfriend, and he is a basketball player," she said. "Unlike you, he would never sing," she said.

"What's his name?" Troy asked.

"Chris," she said. She looked down and blushed when she said his name.

"You like him?" Troy asked.

Marissa looked up, "N-no! What makes you think that?" she asked.

"You like him," Troy said matter-of-factly.

Marissa smiled and blushed. Troy grinned.

"What do I do?" she asked.

"Ask him to do it with you! He might surprise you," Troy said. He pulled up to Marissa's house. "I might see you tomorrow, since your school's touring East High," He said.

Marissa got out and waved. She started walking to her house. "I wouldn't count on it," she muttered. She knew Chris would never sing.

Troy drove off towards his house.

------------------------

The next day at school, Marissa walked into East Middle wearing a pink tee shirt, that had ruffled edges and showed a half an inch of her stomach, blue jeans that had hearts down the right leg, and pink squiggles down the other leg, and black spike heels to complete the outfit. She had crimped her hair and it was half up and the rest was flowing down like a waterfall to the middle of her chest. She had on gold hoop earrings that had an M inside them. She walked to her locker and opened it. She started putting her stuff away.

"Hey Marissa!" A teenager yelled. She ran towards Marissa. She had shoulder-length blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. She wore a baby blue tee shirt under a white jacket, a pink miniskirt, and black boots with bright blue laces.

"Hey Katelyn!" she said grinning.

"I can't believe we're going into high school as soon as summer's over! That's not to far away," Katelyn said, "And I'm so psyched to go to East High today!!" It was clear she was excited beyond normality, but it was quite normal for Katie.

"Its not that big of a deal," Marissa said. "Do you know where Chris is?" she asked.

"I think he said he wanted to talk with Larry, from the basketball team for a few minutes," Katie said, "And how can it not be that big of a deal?? It's East High! Ya know? With Troy Bolton??"

"He's alright. He's nice," she said.

"Who cares about nice?? He's cute!!" Katie said.

Marissa rolled her eyes, "Is that all people care about?" she asked.

"No! He's nice! You said so yourself! Also, he has the most gorgeous face on the planet," Katie added quickly.

"See what I mean?" she said. She looked at herself in her mirror and applied some lip gloss.

"... No," Katie said.

Marissa rolled her eyes. Katie shrugged.

"So... When are you gonna ask Chris out?" She asked.

Marissa dropped the lip gloss she was holding. She bent down to pick up the lip gloss. "What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Oh come on! Everyone but you and Chris knows you like him!" Katie said.

Marissa shook her head, "I've known him since before I can remember! I don't like him!" she protested.

"Yuh-huh, that's why you've been crushing on his for the past three years," Katie said.

"What are you talking about?" Marissa asked.

"I mean that you so like him!!!" Katie insisted, "Come on M! Get real here for a minute!"

Marissa rolled her eyes. Katie grinned.

"What about you and Jacob?" she asked grinning.

"EWWWW! NO!" Katie said.

Marissa rolled her eyes, "I feel the same way about Chris. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" she yelled.

"...Not really," Katie said, "I mean... JACOB???? Please tell me you're the only one who thinks that I like him," Katie said.

"No, there's Cinda, Sarah, Diana," Marissa continued to go on. Katie started banging her head on the wall.

"And Kay, Vanessa, and Monique," she continued.

"STOP!!" Katie yelled, "I don't wanna hear the rest of this!!!"

"Okay," she said. She got out a thick folder.

"M!" Katie whined.

"This is the names of everyone who knows," she said.

"Awwww man!!" Katie said.

Marissa giggled.

"No fair!!" Katie complained.

To show how thick the folder was, she dropped it on the floor, making a huge thunk sound. She grinned innocently.

"M!!!" Katie whined, "I don't need this!"

"Well I don't need you to tell me I should go out with Chris either!" she exclaimed.

"Whatev," Katie said, "Drop it."

Marissa slammed the locker shut. "I don't see what the big deal is. I know everyone at East High. Troy even gave me a ride home," she said.

"He what?" Katie asked, her jaw dropping.

"He drove me home. He even said I should audition for the spring musical after he heard me sing," she said.

"Then do!" Katie said.

"I need a partner!" she exclaimed.

"DUH! Chris!!!" Katie said.

Marissa started laughing, and then she saw her face. "Oh, you were serious?" she asked.

"Uh, yeah," Katie said.

"NO!" she yelled. "Chris would never do it!" she exclaimed.

"How do you know?" Katie asked.

"Because I have known him since Kindergarten!" she exclaimed.

"Uh huh... Our moms have been friends since college!!!" Katie said, crossing her arms over her chest.

Marissa leaned up against the locker. "The only reason I signed up for the tour is because you miss school," she said.

Katie giggled. "Don't you wanna be able to find your way around next year?" She asked.

Marissa sighed, "Puh-lease. I could lead the tour," she said.

"Oh right... You had to go to Shar and Ryan's performances, didn't you?" Katie asked.

"One, she hates it when you call her Shar. Second, yes. Third, I also had to go Troy's basketball games because Sharpay was going," she said.

"One, she's not here, is she? Second, I knew that, you didn't need to answer, smart one. And third, your sis is SO weird!" Katie said, rolling her eyes.

"One, who knows, I swear she can just appear out of no where! Second, Sorry. And third, I agree. It is so boring cheering for a team at a school I don't go to," she said.

"She makes you cheer?" Katie asked, giving Marissa a weird look.

Marissa nodded, "Only when someone is missing," she said. She thought about it. "Actually, someone always seems to be missing. Isn't that weird?" she asked.

"Yeah," Katie said.

Marissa sighed.

"All eight graders, please report to the buses immediately. We will be leaving shortly," The vice principal said over the intercom.

"We'd better go," Katie said.

Marissa sighed, "I don't wanna go," she said, grabbing her purse.

"You get to skip schooooooool!!!" Katie sang.

"And go to the same as my siiiiiiiiiiiisssteeeeeeeeer," she sang. "Nothing on this Earth will make me want to go," she said.

Katie rolled her eyes and grabbed her backpack. "Let's go," She said.
