A/N: ok so this story happens in just one night, obviously. Each chapter will focus on a different couple and how they fall in love, told from the point of view of the girl involved. The couples are the original ones, Kelsi and Jason, Zeke and Sharpay, Taylor and Chad, and Troy and Gabriella.

A little bit of background information for this story is that Ryan and Sharpay's parents divorced when they were young. He lives with their mum and she lives with their dad. They go to different high schools. Ryan throws a party and invites heaps of people from his school including Troy, Chad, Zeke and Jason. Also he calls Sharpay, invites her and tells her to bring some friends. Sharpay brings Gabriella, Taylor and Kelsi. Now for the story (this first chapter doesn't focus on any couple as it is before the party and is told from no ones point of view.)

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ring, Ring

"Hello?"

"Hey Sharpay, it's your favourite brother."

"Ryan! What's up?"

"I can't just want to talk to my sister?"

"Ry, I think I know you better then that."

"Ok, you got me. Mum is going on a business trip tonight.

"So?"

"So, I'm throwing a party. Do you want to come?"

"Do I ever turn down a party invitation?"

"Good, I'll see you there. And bring some friends. It's going to be massive."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sharpay said goodbye to her brother and turned back to her three best friends, Gabriella, Taylor and Kelsi. She had known Taylor since she was little and Taylor knew Ryan as well because their parents had still been together then. Kelsi had met Sharpay through music lessons and they had become good friends. Gabriella was new to the school that year but her and Taylor were both geniuses and had instantly clicked. Now the four were always together. Right now it was Friday lunch time and they were all eating in the West High Cafeteria.

"Hey girls, guess what?" Sharpay said excitedly.

"I'm sure we won't guess. Just tell us Shar." Gabriella said.

"That was Ryan. He's throwing a huge party tonight and we're invited!"

The other girls groaned simultaneously. None of them were really party people. Kelsi and Gabriella were too shy and Taylor just felt that there werer better ways for her to spend her time. Sharpay however lived to socialise, there waas no way she was missing this party. They would probably be some of the only West High "Knights" going, so everyone else would want to hear all about it.

"Do we have to? You're the only one who usually likes parties." Kelsi said.

"Fine, I'll just go by myself. I bet there will be alcohol. And so many hot guys! But I've heard those East High guys are really sleazy? Oh, well, I'm sure I'll be fine."

Taylor sighed and Sharpay grinned because she knew she had them now. They would never let her go by herself. It was either all of them or none of them.

"Ok, we'll come and baby sit you."

"Hey, you should all try to meet some guys too."

"Unlikely Shar."

Sharpay was the only one of them who had ever had a boyfriend, actually she had had many of them. The other girls were very pretty and interesting, they just didn't like any of the guys they knew.

"We will all go over to my house after school today. You guys can wear some of my clothes and we'll do our hair, make up and nails together before the party."

This made the other girls smile too. Party or not, they loved getting make overs. Who knows maybe the party would be fun.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ryan said goodbye to Sharpay and walked into his own cafeteria at East High. He walked from table to table telling each group about the party. He wanted this to be big. A party no one would ever forget. He approached the table of jocks, including Chad who had been Ryan's best friends when they were little. They had grown apart over the years but Ryan was loosely friends with almost everyone. Besides it wouldn't be a party unless Chad and his friends, Troy, Zeke and Jason came. They were the most popular guys in the school.

"Hey guys, I'm having a party tonight. Will I see you there? Ryan asked as he came close to their table.

"Dude, everyone's talking about it, we'll be there alright." Jason said.

"What? When did I agree to this? What if I have things to do?" Chad argued, for no reason really. He would go to the party of course. He just wanted to make sure that people knew he could be busy. But it didn't really work.

"Ha! Yeah right. Come on there will be heaps of girls there." Zeke said.

"Yea, drunk girls, my favourite kind." Troy, grinned evilly.

"What about a bet? I can get 10 girls during the night?"

"Not even you can do that Troy." Zeke argued.

"I'll take that as the bet. I'll collect my $20 from each of you on Monday."

Ryan didn't really like the idea of Troy messing with so many girls feelings but he didn't want these guys not to come to his party.

"Do whatever you want, as long as you stay away from my sister." He said.

"Your sister? I didn't even know you had a sister. How old is she?" Zeke asked.

"She's our age, but she goes to West High. I invited her and told her to bring some friends."

"Oh good, fresh meat." Troy smirked, but seeing Ryan's face he added "I'll stay away from your sister, just point her out to me and I'll leave her alone."

"Ok, I'll see you guys tonight then." Ryan walked off.

"Bet on it." Troy said.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The girls had spent all afternoon at Sharpay's mansion getting ready. And they looked hot. They got out of her pink car and walked to the front door of a mansion which looked strangely similar to Sharpay's. Music was blasting and lights were flashing. The sound of a hundred teenagers talking, laughing, flirting and yelling could easily be heard.

Sharpay walked confidently up to the door, instead of knocking, she just opened the door and walked straight in. Kelsi, Gabriella and Taylor looked at each other with unhappy faces and followed much less confidently.

"Welcome ladies." A blonde boy, in white pants, a light pink shirt and a dark pink hat, greeted them. He walked to Sharpay and hugged her. She hugged him back, and then turned to the other girls who were standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"Hey Ry! Girls this is my brother Ryan. Ryan, these are my best friends, Gabriella, Kelsi and Taylor. You remember Taylor right?" Sharpay beckoned them forwards. Ryan smiled at each girls and kissed their hands as Sharpay introduced them.

"Of course I do, though I don't remember her being so beautiful. Hang on shar before you go and mingle I have to introduce you to someone." He turned and yelled into a huge room full of people.

"Hey Troy! Get over here!"

"Troy? Troy Bolton! Did he want to meet me?" Sharpay was blushing and running her fingers through her perfect hair. She turned to her friends, who were looking blank.

"Troy Bolton is the captain of the basketball team at East High. He is like the most popular guy there. And so hot!"

A guy walked over to Ryan, and three guys were following in his wake. Ryan spoke to the guy in front, who had light brown hair and amazing blue eyes.

"Troy, this is my sister Sharpay."

Troy flashed an incredible smile at Sharpay, then at the other, his gaze holding for a moment on Gabriella. Sharpay put her hand on his upper arm and smiled back at him.

"Hi troy, hows it going?" but somehow troy seemed to miss her obvious flirting, and walked away after shooting another look at Gabriella. The other three guys followed him and Ryan started to greet some other people who had just entered.

Sharpay looked annoyed for a moment but then shook it off and turned to the girls with a smile.

"So, who wants to dance?"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
