Chapter 1 – 'T' as in Troy

-Sharpay POV-

I walked slowly to the doors of East high. It was cold outside even though it was spring. As always I felt eyes following me all the way. I was kind of getting used to that, but still, it felt weird. Suddenly a hand touched my shoulder.

"Sharpay…I've been looking for you" Troy said completely out of breath from the running!

"Troy… always nice to see you" Troy was Gabriella's boyfriend… Gabriella was my best friend. Me and Gabriella usually sat down and talked all day about him. But, in the end, it was her who got him!

"Yes," Troy then said" Prom, Gabby, looking, you.. " He was still completely out of breath, which made it harder for me to understand.

"Troy. Breathe! I can't understand a single word" I said

"Yes, sorry. Gabriella's looking for you" he now said a little more normal

"Do you know why?" I asked

"Something about prom shopping… girl stuff" he said with a little laughter in his voice

"Of course," I wasn't really surprised. We had planned to do it for awhile. "Tell her to meet me after school" I told him.

"Or you can just tell her yourself" he pointed at someone behind me. I turned around. Gabby.

"Gabby," I said in my fake voice."How are you, sweetie?"

"I'm fine," she answered. Then she and Troy kissed. Ugh, it was typical her to show off her boyfriend. UGH! Troy was her first boyfriend ever. She was proud of being with someone as handsome as him! "I thought we could go prom shopping today. I mean, prom is like 7 days away! We need dresses!"

"Of course." I said with that voice again. "It's only 7 days away" I repeated in my head.

Gabby nodded and grabbed Troys hand. They left together. Hand in hand. I had never felt SO jealous. It was unfair. I was the most beautiful and popular girl in school. "Barbie" Gabriella usually called me. I should be with someone like Troy. Handsome, intelligent and athletic.

-Gabriella POV-

I left Sharpay hand in hand with Troy. I didn't really like Sharpay. She always bossed me around. "Do this, do that." I only hang out with her because of my image! I figured, if I hung out with her, it could be possible for me to get Troy. Without her, no way Troy and I would be together. It wasn't really hard getting to her, all I had to do, was borrow my mother's big Louis Vuitton bag.

Troy and I stopped by my locker. He leaned in and kissed me. He was so cute. He suddenly became serious.

"Gabby, I know it's a little late to ask you," he said. "But, will you go with me to the prom?"

"Yes! I would love to! I promise!" I smiled. He was the type of guy who always waited until the last minute.

"Here's my promise" Troy said while he fumbled with something in his pocket.

"Wauw" I said. He gave me a "T" necklace. I couldn't stop smiling. My world was PERFECT because of Sharpay.

" 'T' as in Troy?" I giggled. He didn't answer; he just leaned in and kissed me. I bit my lip and looked him in the eyes. His eyes sparkled, a light blue color with a little sense of gray.

"Yo," Chad said, and gave us a shock. "Romeo and Juliet, you done?"

"Not yet," Troy said with a cheeky smile on his face. "I just need to…" He said and kissed me.

"You guys are the cutest!" Chad said knowing he sounded just like a girl.

"Bye Gabby" Troy said as he walked away with Chad. They had basket training. Yes, Troy was captain of the team, too. I watched him as he walked down the hall.

-After school-

I took a deep breath and walked slowly out of East high. Shopping with Sharpay was fabulous! She had the most amazing style. She always had the newest clothing! I was a little smaller than Sharpay. My waist, my breast, my legs and my height. So I, usually, got her clothe. She was rich, too. Which was even cooler! Because I wasn't. Before I met Sharpay all my clothing was H&M, which there NOTHING wrong with, but I felt SO much cooler in pure Miss 60.
