Leslie stood there as the cameras flashed away - trying to capture his "good side." Inside, though, he knew they could never do that - they didn't even know his real name. There was only one person who did: A person whose face was pictured clearly in his mind and whom he held close to his heart. She had a way of setting his heart ablaze with a simple smile; just seeing her smile would set his day as wonderful. He glared at the cameras -- they know nothing. Paparazzi? Find out the lives of the stars? Heh, they wouldn't know the truth about anything. Only she could solve the puzzle that the world knew as "Jake Ryan".

Sharpay Evans raised a brow at the recently formed crowd in front of her. "What is going on?!" She demanded to know as she pushed and shoved her way through the crowd. Barely a live and in one piece, she stood close enough to see what was going on, brow still raised. Paparazzi? Cameras? Of all places, what are they doing at the doorstep of East High?

As Sharpay shoved and pushed around, she finally got closer to see what all the fuss was about - a tall blonde boy with the dreamy looks of a movie star. She remembered seeing him somewhere, but where? Maybe it was one of those stupid shows that her brother Ryan watched.

Suddenly, she noticed that the boy was staring right at her. she stared into his eyes, discovering that something really horrible was going to happen in this very high school. the boy just smiled and winked at her. Some girls around Sharpay thought it was for them and fainted. The crowd followed the boy as he walked away. Sharpay was amazed. What other human being in the world obtained the power that she had?

Her brow knitted as her gaze stuck on to that boy as he continued to walk down the hallway showered in camera flashes. Whatever was going to happen in this school, it was going to be his fault. That much she knew. Sharpay found herself glaring holes into the back of his perfectly combed blonde hair. With a scoff she turned on her heel and stormed away from the massive crowd.

As she stormed away, she bumped into her twin brother Ryan, who was giddy with delight. "Oh my gosh, Sharpay! Did you know that Jake Ryan, the star of my favorite show "Zombie High" is here? This is the best day of my life!" he exclaimed to his sister. "So, that's here I seen him before. I knew it!" Sharpay thought to herself.

Sharpay growled inwardly; this year was going to be rockier than when Troy Bolton decided that he would begin singing in musicals ... Then it hit her. She plotted out the perfect plan - Get this Jake Ryan to date her, and then surely Troy would be exceptionally jealous. Troy would come running into her arms ... there stood one problem: she never wanted to share the spotlight, and this celebutaunt would more than likely steal hers.

Mrs Darbus then came up to the front of the classroom and announced, "Class. Today we have a new student joining us. He just came from Malibu and his staying here to do some scenes for his new show, "Zombie High." I'm sure that you could all learn a thing or two from him - I know our Drama club might. Here he is..Jake Ryan!" Sharpay then studied Jake - trying to get some insight, so she would have an easier time trying to get a date with him. All she learned however, was that he, "slayed you once, and don't make him slay you again."

That stupid catch phrase of his that made so many girls swoon and sigh at his masculinity; how Sharpay gagged at the thought of having to 'swoon' at the sound of that simple overused line. 'Sacrifices must be made in order to achieve the greater trophy' - she casted a glance at her dreamy, Wildcat heartthrob, Troy Bolton - 'Even if they are major sacrifices'. Sharpay stood up from her seat in an elegant manner, and glided across the classroom to greet her new prey (for now) - "Hi, I'm Sharpay Evans. Welcome to East High."


Author's Note: This is the first chapter that we all wrote together; there's a total of four of us. It came to us in an simple game of "Loaded Questions" in which we RP-ed as different characters. Haha ... yeah, don't ask. XD
