Chapter 1 – Assignments

Gabriella Montez was sitting in her room studying for her test while her neighbour Troy Bolton was playing loud music. Gabriella walked over to her window and looked at Troy half naked and smiled and shouted ''can you turn it down, Troy''. Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled and told her ''sorry, can't do that, Gabs''.

Gabriella shut her window angry and walked downstairs with her homework and into the living room and sat on the couch next to her Mom and Gabriella smiled and started to do her homework. Mrs Montez looked at Gabriella and said ''Is Troy playing his music again''. Gabriella looked at her Mom and said ''yeah and loud''.

Mrs Montez got a photo album out and got a picture of Troy and Gabriella when they were little and said ''yeah, you have know each other forever, can't you two learn to put aside your differences and get along''. Mrs Montez sat down next to Gabriella and gave her the photo and Gabriella told her Mom ''ahh, it's me and Troy, I can't put aside our differences because I hate him''.

Mrs Montez smiled and Gabriella gave her the photo and Mrs Montez said ''something going to happen to bring you close together and you used to have a thing for him''. Gabriella looked at her Mom in denial and told her ''I didn't''.

Gabriella walked to school the next morning and saw Taylor and Martha and smiled and walked into the school and saw the drama notice board and Gabriella said ''looks like Sharpay and Ryan will be taking centre stage again''.

Taylor look at Gabriella and smiled and told her ''not if someone beats her out''. Gabriella looked at her confused and asked ''who''. Taylor looked at Gabriella and sighed and told her ''you, I heard you sing, your talented, a lot better than Sharpay''. Gabriella smiled and laughed.

Troy walked into school and saw Gabriella, Martha and Taylor hanging out by the notice board and Troy walked over to Gabriella and said ''are you putting your name up for the school musical, there won't be a chance for you to get the lead''. Taylor looked at Troy angry and told him ''maybe she is, she is a talent singer so I know for a fact that she will get the lead''.

Gabriella looked at Troy and Taylor upset and said ''I don't want to sing ok, I sing alone in my room''. Gabriella walked away upset and Troy looked at Taylor and told her ''have fun with your geeks studies''.

Taylor and Martha pulled a fake laugh and walked away. Chad walked into school and saw Troy by the notice board and walked near him and chucked a basketball at him and Troy caught it and Chad said ''what are you doing near the drama board''. Troy looked at Chad and laughed and smiled and told him ''nothing, just making fun out of the geeks''.

Troy and Chad walked into basketball practice and saw Coach Bolton and the rest of the team. The whole basketball team practiced their drills and had a game. As usual Troy's game was good, Troy in East High was like the biggest celebrity going to a premiere, every girl wanted to date him and every guy wanted to be him.

Troy and Chad walked into the cafeteria and saw all of the clicks. Troy walked over to the jock table and sat down and said ''are we going to beat West High Knights''. Chad looked at Troy and smiled and shouted ''yeah, we are. What team''.

The rest of the wildcats joined in with the chant and shouted back ''Wildcats''. Gabriella and Taylor looked at Troy, Chad and Gabriella said ''how can they think this sport is fun, it only a couple of mindless guys playing a game that probably want give them a future''. Taylor looked at Gabriella and they both laughed.

Gabriella and Taylor walked into English class and saw Troy and Chad sitting down. Gabriella walked to her seat and got her homework out and Troy looked at her and said ''geek''. Gabriella looked at Troy angry and told him ''at least I can read, you stupid jock''.

Troy was about to say something when the teacher walked in and write on the board ''paired assignments''. The teacher looked at Chad and said ''Mr Danforth, you will be working with Miss McKessie''.

Chad looked at the teacher angry and the teacher looked at him and said ''no word, ok''. The teacher looked at Troy and said ''Mr Bolton, you will be working with Miss Montez''.
