This is my first attempt at a HSM fic. I'd like to think this isn't your "normal" Mary-Sue. Because I changed things around a bit, so that Sharpay actually is friends with the chick Ryan likes. She might be a little OOC, but deal with it. R&R. Flames are accepted.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of this. But I do own the character Gwen.

It was a new school year at East High in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Very much like last year, there was a new girl. But unlike Gabriella she wasn't and braniac and had no ability to sing. She wasn't even pretty for that matter. She was just a new face in an already compact crowd.

She stepped inside the school doors and looked around at everyone. They all were laughing and walking around. Hugging people and swapping stories. All were wearing red or white. She looked down at her blue shirt and jeans, and decided that tomorrow she'd wear red.

She awkwardly walked around the hallway trying to find her locker and causing murmurs. She noticed one couple eyeing her with interest before turning away.

"We should say hi to her!" the brunette girl said, feeling sympathy for her. But her blond male companion pulled her back. "Gabriella." He warned "What, Troy? I just wanted to be nice!" Gabriella said back. He sighed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Of course you do." He replied. She glared up at him. "Troy." She said. "Gabriella, we shouldn't talk to her she's new." He said bluntly. She looked up at him and glared. "I thought that rubbish was all in the past!" She said angrily. "And I though Ryan and Sharpay were actually going to be our friends, but as you can see nothings changed." Troy said.

Troy pulled Gabriella towards him and she laid her head on his strong shoulder. "I'd like to think your wrong." She sighed. He shook his head and they walked off to Darbus' class together.

The new girl strolled up to her locker, but was distracted by the ones next to hers. The one on the right had been painted pink, while the left one was a bright shade of green. Both had a gold star on them and names were printed in the middle with an extravagant font. She walked closer to read the green one first. "Ryan Evans. And.." "Sharpay Evans." said a cold voice next to her. She turned startled to see a blonde girl next to her with a stern look on her face. She was dressed in designer clothes and had on hot pink stilettos. Behind the girl was a boy, also with blonde hair and wearing a very flamboyant green sparkly hat.

"Do you know Ryan and Sharpay?" The new girl finally spat out after staring at them. The blonde girl smirked and flipped her hair, as the boy showed no emotion. "You're new here so I'll let you off easy and tell you who those amazing people are." The blonde girl said, as if she was talking to a child, "I'm Sharpay. And this is my twin brother Ryan!" Both Ryan and Sharpay posed as if waiting for applause. When none came they both rolled their eyes. "And who are you?" Sharpay asked, holding her hand up to Ryan who placed a nail filer in her grasp. "Gwen." She replied. Sharpay filed her nails. "Fabulous." She said, not seeming to care. She examined her nails before throwing back her filer which hit Ryan on the nose. "OW!" Ryan cried. Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Are you okay?" Gwen asked. Ryan looked at her holding his nose. She looked his eyes and instantly blushed. His eyes were the prettiest blue she had ever seen.

"What?" He asked. "Are you okay?" She repeated. He rubbed his nose, then scrunched it up before letting go. "Yeah, I'm fine." He replied. "You're such a drama queen!" Sharpay said to him as she began to open her locker. Ryan didn't say anything back as he opened his locker as well. Gwen glanced at the sibling on either side of her before mimicking their actions, and opening her own locker. Sharpay looked into her locker mirror, and smiled before applying more lip-gloss. Ryan looked his own mirror and fixed his hat, making different facial expressions. Gwen noticed him and tried not to laugh. The warning bell rang and the twins shut their lockers in unison. Before marching down the hall together; Ryan always one step behind Sharpay. Gwen hurriedly grabbed a binder out of her locker before taking off to her home room, which was with Mrs. Darbus.

The last bell rang as Gwen scurried into the classroom followed by her teacher. She was met by a different variety of looks from all the students. Gwen noticed Sharpay and Ryan sitting next to each other and looking at her. "Hello class! Welcome back to another wonderful year! Detention will be resuming as always!" Mrs. Darbus said, as the class continued to murmur. Gwen stood nervously at the front of the classroom until Mrs. Darbus finally turned around and noticed her. "Why, hello! You must be the new student Gwen. We'll find a place for you. How about right behind Mrs. Montez!" Mrs. Darbus said. Gwen looked confused at her teacher, until Gabriella raised her hand. Gwen walked to the back row and took her seat behind her.

Gabriella quickly glanced at Troy before turning to Gwen. "Hi! I'm Gabriella!" She said. "Hi. I'm Gwen." Gwen said stiffly as she caught both Ryan and Sharpay turned in their seats and looking at her. "I know what it's like to be new here. So maybe I could help you out around school." Gabriella said, sounding very sincere about her offer.

Gwen tried to casually turn and look at Ryan and Sharpay, but they both noticed. Gabriella mirrored her action and saw the twins. "Oh. Are you friends with them?" She asked a new venom in her once inviting voice. Ryan and Sharpay leaned in closer to hear what Gwen would say. "Um, well I talked them this morning. Sharpay was nice. And Ryan seemed kind of shy. But I don't know." Gabriella didn't even take time to respond she turned to Troy, looking livid. Gwen looked confused as Troy and Gabriella began talking in hurried aggravated whispers. Ryan sat back in his chair, as did Sharpay.

"Am I really that shy?" He asked. Sharpay dismissed her brother's question. "Hmm, maybe we should keep an eye on her. I see some potential." She said a know look in her eyes. "Potential?" Ryan questioned. "Yes." Sharpay shot back. "So we're gonna be nice to her?" Ryan asked. Sharpay laughed in response. "Of course not!" She hit Ryan's hat on the bill and it slipped down over his eyes. "Sharpay!" He wined. She only smiled and turned back around.
