Chapter One

**On set of High School Musical 3

Vanessa: Can you believe we're on the third one already?

Ashley: I know, it's so amazing!

Vanessa: *laughs* Seems like just yesterday we were hoping for a role in the first one.

Ashley: No, Nessa! You can't get all nostalgic now!

Vanessa: *giggles, changes subject* C'mon, Ash, let's get over to makeup.

**In makeup

Monique: Excited?

Vanessa: *shoots Ashley a glare* Yes, very, Monique.

Ashley: What, about working with you, Taylor?

Monique: Not at all, Sharpay.

Vanessa: Will you two be quiet? We aren't shooting yet!

Ashley: It helps to use our characters' names to get more practice.

Vanessa: *rolls eyes* Fine, Sharpay, if you want to play the evil character, it is fine by me.

Ashley: Nessa- Gabriella!

Vanessa: *laughs* I'll be in wardrobe if you need me.

**In wardrobe

Zac: Oh hey Nessa.

Vanessa: *glances at him from a rack* Zac.

Zac: Look, Nessa, I know we haven't been on the-

Vanessa: *finishes* best of terms. Zac, it's over, alright? Don't dwell on the past.

Zac: *flinches*

Flashback:

Vanessa: Zac?

**Zac is making out with a girl in full view**

Zac: *jumps off the girl* Nessa, listen-

Vanessa: *cuts him off* No, Zac! I trusted you! I trusted you and you go off and cheat on me! That's just delightful, Zac! We're over! Goodbye!

End flashback

Vanessa: *had the same flashback* Bye, Zac, see you during filming. *steps out*

Kyle: Nessa!

Zac: *steps over to the door, eavesdropping*

Vanessa: Oh, hey, Kyle. *uninterested*

Kyle: Listen, I was wondering…

Vanessa: Yeah?

Kyle: Will you go out with me? *blurts*
